iNew Water Main May Supply Water for Few at Newport u Persons living in Newport along *the water main to be installed from the fire station to t)ie business **tection might be permitted to tap 'the line to get water for house viiold use. j Newport town commissioners, ' meeting Tuesday night at the town hall, said that such might be pos sible. The main is being laid by the Newport firemen and is one of Newport's Finer Carolina pro jects. i A report on it, written by Fire ?Chief I^on Mann Jr., was read by ?Commissioner Charles Hill. Report Maiie The report follows: "Pipeline will involvfe 1,475.4 feet 6 inch cast iron pipe. Two hy drants will be added. In addition, 100 feet 2-inch cast iron pipe will {t>e laid to the municipal buildings.

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 in the softener.

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.

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.

Mrs. Fodrie had the baby in her arms and was looking for a piece of wet soap she had dropped when she slipped on the wet track the soap had made across the floor.

(308 AtmOEU ST i HIWIIW ' MOMHtAD CfTY, !* C J 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).
