There are two ways to soften I
water ? the wrong way and the |
right way.
The wrong way is to depend
upon soap to do the job. Many |
home owners, lacking mechani
cal softening equipment, are do- |
ing just that.
To be sure, soap will soften
hard water, but the process is
costly and the results are un
satisfactory.
When soap is added to hard
1:| water for laundry purposes, it
first has to take out the hard
ness. This it does by combining
with the hardness minerals to
form insoluble soap curds, which
cling to clothing and stubborn
ly refuse, to be rinsed away,
causing white fabrics to turn
grey and colored fabrics to lose
their brightness, and both to
weaken and wear out long be
fore they should.
Soap required to soften hard
water is wasted soap as far as
washing action la concerned. At
leaat as much again Drill have 10
be added to finish the wash. It
requires twice as much aoap ?
sometimes more, depending
upon the degree of hardness?
to wash clothes in hard water
as it does in aoft water. For an
average family, the cost of hard
water in terms of extra soap
used and waar i and tear on
clothing may amount to as much
as $125 annually. ,
Even detergents, which have
a chemical aoftening agent, go
farther in aoft water. However,
leading home economists say
that aoap and soft water do the
best job. besides being easy on
the hands.
The right way to soften water
is nMcfaanically Modem water
softeners contain a mineral call
ed zeolite, which removes the
hardness minerals by exchang
ing them for soft sodium as
hard water from the city mains |
flows through the r-ollte bed

The watre comes from the tank
near the veterans housing project
The commissioners commented
on New Bern street. They said they
got a lot of compliments since 50
tons of marl have been put on it.
Residents along the street attend
ed the board meeting last month
and said they wanted the street
fixed. Cost of the marl was $229.
Les Bercegeay, president of the
Veterans Housing Association,
asked what progress had been
made on getting someone to work
on the streets in the housing pro
ject. Police Chief Ormsby Mann
said that the contractor who will
work on resurfacing highway 70
from the 24 and 70 intersection to
Newport would send someone to
work on them when they started on
the other job.
To get clearance on putting a
road through from the housing pro
ject to the school, the clerk Miss
Editch Lockey, was asked to write
L. Y. McCabe, Oriental, who owns
property where the road is pro
posed.
Ditches Filled
The police chief said that every
railroad drainage ditch in town is
filled up and ought to be cleaned
out. He also said that to take
a tree down in front of Mrs. Maynie
Oglesby's house, wires that belong
to the A&EC must be taken down.
Commissioner M. D. McCain said
he thought some of the wires
were Western Union telegraph
wires.
The clerk was directed to write
the railroad and Western Union to
ask them to take the wires down
temporarily so the tree can be re
moved.
Commissioner Hill said the fire
men wanted to know if the town
would pay the mileage on having
part-loads of concrete brought to
Newport from Cherry Point. The
concrete would be poured on the
floor of the fire house.
The commissioners tabled the
matter. They said a poor job
would be done if the floor were
poured piecemeal.
Commissioner Hill reported that
four new town firemen have been
added to the department. They
are Robert G. Garner. Junius Has
kett, Tom Temple and Swindell
Garner. Firemen tags needed for
next year total 31.
The town approved purchased of
10 gallons of "wet water" for the
department. The town will pay half
the cost, $16.75, and the Rural
Fire Association the other half.
The board extended their thanks
to Moses Howard for fixing, free of
charge, the portable pump.
Fine Set
The police chief reported that
only 92 of 150 town tags had been
sold. He was given authority to no
tify those who had not bought tags
and if they don't get them, fine
them $1.
The board authorized the publi
cation in April of names of delin
quent taxpayers.
Mayor Edgar Hibbs said he had
heard that some people in town
thought that the town was not
within the law when they raised the
tax rate to $1. He said the matter
was brought to the attention of
George Ball, town attorney, and
Mr. Ball said the* action was legal.
The mayor read a letter from Mr.
Ball quoting the enabling statute
and at the meeting Mr. Ball re
checked the town charter and said
again that everything was in order.
Prentis Garner, tax lister, was
present. Commissioner Wilbur
Garner served bags of salted pea
nuts. Commissioner McCain and
the mayor bought soft drinks which
were served by Prentis.
All commissioners were present.

The picket boat got in at about
9:30 and at 11:10 p.m. at the Sea
Level Hospital, a 6, pound 14 ounce
baby girl was born to Mrs. Styron.
When Bud was told by Dr. Herbert
Webb, resident physician, that he
"could go in to see the baby now."
he was fn such a daze he dumbly
followed. Mrs. Styron and the
baby who was still unnamed yes
terday morning, are doing fine.
But the poor young'un is here
and Mother doesn't even have as
much as a diaper for her! But with
all the friends the Styrons have,
that situation will probably be
remedied very quickly.
That's the story ? and it's the
most amazing one to happen in
these parts in many a year. But it's
true.

Down Oar Way
Br JAMK8 g. wanovm
Om day last weak we were down
Measuring for Venetian Blinds for
the off tor of S A Chalk, Jr.. who
operate* the Mutual Insurance
Agency in the KirstCitiaens Bank
and Trust Company building After
we took the measurements for Mr.
Chalk's mala office, he carried us
over to the other aide of the build
ing so we could measure far Vene
tians tor another room. We Bade
the remark that it was going ta be
inconvenient having his suite of
offices divided by a hallway.
Skinner then told us that the
new office was to house the opera
tions of his branch at Lloyd's of
London, the nearest other branch
being in Charlotte. He went on to
state the different types ot cover
ages that could only be had from
Lloyd's of London. Skinner then
stated with a prideful smile that
he can now insure "anything."
It waa at this point that our
memory began to function on all
eight. We asked: "Isn't it Lloyd's
of London that insures the fine
feminine characteristics of the
movie stars, like Marilyn Monroe
and Jane Kussell . . .?"
With an impish glint in his eyes,
he allowed that it IS Lloyd's of
London who DOES insure the fem
inine charms, et cetera, of the
leading movie queens.
wnereupon . . . wnereupon,
friends, right then and there, and
without further ado, we offered
our services as official inspector
for Lloyd's of London ? at a nom
inal fee of one dollar a year, think
ing that would be a bargain for
Lloyd's of London, Morehead City
branch. But do you know what
Skinner (Scotchman) Chalk said
. . .? With his eyes on the spread
ing eagle's wings, he said that in
his candid opinion, there would be
quite a lot of men that would be
willing to pay a right good sum to
be able to do this particular fem
inine (et cetera) inspection service
for Lloyd's local branch, should
any touring movie star desire
Lloyd's services when in this vi
cinity.
Skinner didn't accept ? neither
did he say a definite "No" ? to
our dollar-a-year proposal. So we
got to ruminating over our possible
opposition: ? In Morehead City
Frank F.xum might take care of
this chore. * ' '
In Beaufort. Jim Biggs, Jim Rum
ley or Harold Simpson "might" be
drafted for inspection service with
Lloyd's, or Orville Gaskill might
pinch-hit in a pinch. If none of
these arc able to pass the physical,
Grady Davis, of Davis; Keeler Mor
ris, of Atlantic: Dclmas Lewis, of
Marshallberg: Stancil Bell, of New
port: Abbott Morris (unemployed
at present) of Morehead City ? any
of these boys MIGHT be pressed
into the service of Lloyd's of Lon
don, Morehead City branch, if the
need should arrive.
But honestly we don't believe
any of these boys are able to do
anything that we can't do better ?
modesty prevents us from going
further ? when it comes to inspect
ing, ascertaining and evaluating
the better points of femininity, et
cetera. And the term et cetera
covers more territory than a seven
ty-five-dollar, 1955 model girdle.
We are living in hope, if we die
in despair.
Tony and Ted are doing it again.
Yep, they're adding a large room
to the off-shore side of the south
west corner of the Sanitary Fish
Market Restaurant. But here is
the BIG news about the addition
. . . Tony and Ted arc using Clear
view Louver Glass Windows, with
split control, in the new roam,
which will be used as a private din
ing room for clubs, etc., and when
not used for this purpose will be
thrown open to the public, during
the rush summer season. Tony and
Ted know a good thing when they
see it.
We wish to offer our congratu
lations to the More head City Drug
Co. ? the Matthews have gone all
out in providing Morehead City
and the vicinity with one of the
most modern drug stores to be aeen
anywhere. It is indeed a credit
to the community and to Carteret
County.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley
Lewis in Beaufort has had a com- .
plete face-lifting Job done on it
this winter ? and as a result It is
one of the most beautiful homes
in town. Ride by 1015 Ann street
and see it.
Dan Pigott, who has been em
ployed for quite a while by the
S & W Drug Store, is opening his
own drug store in the new build
ing that is being built next door
te the new AfcP Supermarket on
Arendell street, in Morehead City.
Dan's family has been in the mer
cantile business for many years
do*n at Gloucester. Dan attended
old St. Paul's School in Beaufort,
studied pharmacy, and has worked
in drug stores all of his adult life
(when he wasn't fiahing).
