tons of cargo (sold by the trade
name AMMO-PHOS) loaded at
Houston, Tex., and Lake Charles
La. A shipment of nitrate of soda
was loaded at Lake Charles.
The Mae is being unloaded sole
ly by port machinery. It has no
equipment on board to help in the
unloading and is the first ship of
this type to dock here.
Unloading operations are pro
ceeding on a 24-hour basis and
it was expected Tuesday that the

Mae was tied up until Thursday at
the ,,old" state dock. Then it was
moved to the new dock where un
loading continued.

? A discussion on Beaufort Re
corder's Court operation extended
the Beaufort town board meeting
until midnight Monday.
The commissioners said they ob
jected to defendants' being given
time to pay court costs or fines.
Commissioner Gerald Hill said he
never heard of a court being oper
ated on a credit basis.
Judge Earl Mason said that if
he felt a defendant . couldn't pay
the costs or fine that he, as the
judge, should give him time to do
so- The court clerk, Dan Walker,
said that in one case a defendant
was told to pay $21.50 court costs
at the rate of a dollar a week.
Commissioner Hill remarked
that such payments involves a lot
of bookkeeping. It was reported
that one or two others were told
to "pay when they could" and
nothing has been collected.
Judge Mason told the board that
he was told that court was not to
be operated as a money-making af
fair and if it were, he was not in
terested in being judge.
Commissioners Gordon Hardes
ty and Hill said that rather than
not enforce the judgments passed,
it would be better if the judge
imposed no penalty at all? let the
defendant go completely free with
a warning not to be brought be
fore him the second time. Then

Education Board
Considers Three
Offers of Land
Board Ditcuuos Newport
School; Holidays Will
Begin Doc. 18
The County Board of Education
considered three offers of land
when they met Monday afternoon
in the superintendent's office,
courthouse annex, Beaufort.
All were proposed as future
school sites. The first two were
on Harkers Island and the third in
Morehead City. James O'Neal, ex
ecutor of the M. J. O'Neal estate,
Harkers Island, offered a plot of
ground north of the main highway
about a mile east of the island's
intersection.
Earl C. Davis, Harkers Island,
also made the offer of another site
on the old ferry road. Both propo
sitions were presented by letter.
The third related to a recommen
dation from the Morehead City
Chamber of Commerce in which
the chamber approved purchase of
a 30-acre site owned by Roland
Barbour in Morehead City.
The board of education is in
favor of purchasing the Barbour
site but in all three cases they
came to the conclusion that the
money is not available now.
Because contractors at the New
port school are slightly behind
schedule the board passed a reso
lution empowering H. L. Joslyn,
secretary to the board and super
intendent of schools, to grant ex
tension of time. Because the school
is being built with federal funds,
this had to be done, explained Mr.
Joslyn, or the funds would be cut.
He added that the work is near
completion and the school prob
ably will be occupied by the first
of the year.
The Christmas vacation for coun
ty schools begins at noon Friday,
? Dec. 18 snd extends to Monday
morning, Jan. ?, when schools will
open.

Kihie Alarm Sent la
Beaufort firemen answered a
falae alarm at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning. The alarm was sent in
from box 42.
? Miss Georgie Hughes, superin-*
tendent of the county welfare de
partment, this week made a plea to
all persons doing Christmas char
ity work to PLEASE clear first
with the welfare office.
She especially requested people
who give baskets of food or toys
to needy families, report WHO
they are giving to. That way
things can be avoided like this in
cident which happened last year:
A church group got a box of
food and some toys to give to a
family they were told needed help.
The woman appointH to deliver
the box went lo the home. A
little girl opened the door and
when she saw what it waa, she
called to her mother, "Look, Mom
my! Another box, it's the fifth one
today."
Given Get Angry
Miss Hughes said the persons
giving the box got mad at the wel
fare department because the wel
fare department had supplied
them with the name. "We had no
idea of knowing that other people,
on their own. decided to give to
the same family," said Miss
Hughes. "We supplied the name
of the family only once. But we
have no way of knowing w bo else
may give to that family unless they
tell us here.
"Then if someone calls and says
'We are planning to give food to
the XYZ family,' we can say that
another party has already report
ed that they are helping the
XYZs." The welfare office phone
number is 2-4391.
