Pastor Presents Program
Rotary Club
Hears Minister
The Rev. D. B. Cummins, pastor
of the Newport Missionary Baptist
Chureh, was the guest speaker at a
meeting of the Newport Rotary
Club Monday.
Mr. Cummins spoke on the
theme "The* Little Things," point
ing out that little things influence
big things. He gave as an example
the story of David and Goliath, in
which David used a slingshot to
bring about the downfall of a big
man.
He told the club that it should
play an active part in the com
munity and church even though it
may be small, for it will influence
bigger things.
Mr. Cummins was introduced by
Milton C. Warren, program chair
man, who made a few introductory
remarks. He said that one of the
ideals of the club is participating
in community life. Church-going
is a phase of that life, and attend
ing church was as important as at
tending a club meeting, he added.
Aaron Craig, club president, pre
sided and Mr. Cummins gave the
invocation. Visitors were Walter
Edwards and Gerald Mitchell of
Morehead City.

? N. A. Avera, manager of the So
cial Security office, Wilmington,
reports in a letter to the Business
and Professional Women s Club
that social security benefits paid in
the county during 1952 amounted
to $218,484.
His letter was read at the B&PW
Club meeting Tuesday night in
More head City. The club for the
past two years has been writing
letters to survivors of wage-earners
asking them to contact the social
security representative to collect
their benefits. As a death in the
county occurs, a letter goes to the
family requesting that they check
to see whether they are entitled
to funds the deceased earned and
were set aside for him by the gov
ernment.
Mr. Avera said he could not
specifically state how much money
has been brought into the county
through this club project but he
says. " . . you can feel with confi
dence that there are many people
who bring these letters to our at
tention that have told me they
would never have known to check
with us had they not received a
letter from you."
As of Feb. 28. 1951 there were
385 people in the county receiving
benefits. The payments amounted
to $10,189 monthly or $122,218 an
nually. By 1952 the number had
increased to 594 persons and a
"payroll" of $18,207 monthly.
Statistics for 1953 were not avail
able at the time Mr. Avera's let
ter was written. He adds, however,
"... you can be assured that
our benefits paid in 1953 greatly
increased because in the 11 coun
ties that we service the number of
claims received and cleared in
creased by 28 per cent."
The project was undertaken by
the BAPW Club at the request of
the Beaufort Chamber of Com
merce.
Mr. Avera says there are living
wage earners, thoae over 85 yean
of age, who are entitled to bene
fits but who do not collect them.
The BfcPW Club decided to Uke
action toward obtaining the name*
of those persons so that they could
be informed too that they are en
titled to collect money from the
government.

Defendant Gives
Notice of Appeal
Edmund Plymouth Smith ap
pealed a $100 fine and court costs
decision in County Recorder's
Court. He was charged with drunk
driving.
Judge Lambert Morris bound the
case over to the next term of Su
perior Court and put Smith under
$150 bond. Smith was also charged
with possessing illegal whiskey.
Highway Patrolman J. W. Sykes
arrested Smith along with Odessa
Jones and William Guy Smith Feb.
21. He filed a drunk driving and
possession of illegal whiskey charge
against Edmund Smith and charged
Odessa Jones and William Smith
with public drunkenness and pos
session of illegal whiskey.
Parked in Car
All three were in a car parked
off the road near the Carteret
Craven county lines where activity
in the rear seat of the car drew
Patrolman Sykes attention, he told
the court.
When Patrolman Sykes investi
gated, he found all three occu
pants drunk, he said. In the car
was a jar of bootleg whiskey. He
said Edmund Smith denied driving
the car to the spot and told him
that another man, who walked off
into the woods, had driven the
car there.
Edmund was alone in the front
seat of the car and William and
Odessa Jones were in the back seat.
Patrolman Sykes explained.
Edmund told the court that he
picked up the "other man" and
the woman on highway 70 about
a block from the Wagon Wheel.
He said that he felt sick and asked
the "other man" to drive which he
did until reaching the place where
Patrolman Sykes found the car.
The man who was driving, Ed
mund said, was a stranger to him
and neither of the others in the
car knew him.
Statements Verified
Both William and Odessa Jones
verified Edmund Smith's state
ments, saying that another man
which Edmund had picked up drove
the car to where it was parked.
All denied drinking any of the
white lightning or knowing of its
presence in the car.
Judge Morris found the women
guilty and ordered her to pay $10
and costs in 30 days or go to jail
for 30 days. William Smith was
sentenced to 30 days on the roads
to be suspended on payment of
$10 and costs.
Eddie Collins
Pays $51 Fine
On Liquor Count
Eddie Lee Collins, a Negro,
charged with possessing and trans
porting non-tax paid whiskey, was
sentenced to six months on the
roads Tuesday in Carteret County
Recorder's Court.
The sentence will be suspended,
Judge L. R. Morris said, if Collins
pays $50 and costs in 60 days and
remains on good behavior for three
years.
Collins was arrested at 6:45 p.m.
March 11 on highway 101 by ABC
Officer Marshall Ayscue.
Mr. Ayscue told the court that
he, acting on information, swore
out a search warrant for Collins
the afternoon of the arrest. He
also said that he knew Sheriff
Hugh Salter was looking for Col
lins on a bad check charge.
Stops Truck
Mr. Ayscue said that he stopped
Collins on highway 101 after rec
ognizing Collin's truck. At the
time he said he had neither search
warrant nor the bad check warrant
with him.
He said that he asked Collins if
he had any whiskey with him and
that Collins replied no, opening
the cab door to let him look in.
Mr. Ayscue said that in walking
around the truck he noticed card
board under the hood.
Then he told Collins to get in
the officer's car and go back to
town, but Collins demurred, say
ing he didn't want to leave his
truck on the highway.
So Mr. Ayscue said that he let
Collins drive his truck to Beaufort
where Collins was put in jail. The
sheriff was notified and he and Mr.
Ayscue searched the truck and
found six gallons of whiskey in a
cardboard box under the hood.
Warrants Read
The sheriff then read the bad
check charge to Collins and Mr.
Ayscue read the search warrant.
Mr. Ayscue admitted under cross
examination that he did not ask
Collins' permission to search the
truck. Mr. Ayscue also said that
Collins denied the whiskey was his.
At this point Collins' lawyer
asked for a dismissal on the
grounds of illegal search and seiz
ure, saying that the search warrant
was improperly executed.
Judge Morris overruled the mo
tion saying that either Officer Ays
cue or the sheriff had the right to
search the truck after noticing
cardboard under the hood.
Collins told the court that he
didn't know anything about the
whiskey being in the truck. He
outlined his movements of the day
and evening, saying the whiskey
must have been put in his truck
during one of his stops.
At this point M. F. Courie, Mon
ey Island ieach, asked the court to
release Collins' truck, explaining
that Collins was buying it from
him on time and that it wasn't
paid for yet. The court agreed to
release the truck, after it was satis
fied Mr. Courie didn't know what
Collins was using it for.
Judge Morris then pronounced
sentence, making the fifth time
Collins has been convicted of pos
sessing and transporting illegal
whiskey.

Fire Truck
Newport'! fifth Finer Carolina
project is coming along fine,
Charles Hill, general ehairautn,
?aid today. The filth project It ill
?tailing a two-way radio on the rur
al fire truck.
The other projects are erection
of welcome tlgns at tlx town limiti,
laying o ( a water main to the bus
ineu section and establishment of
two playgrounds, one by the Meth
odist Church and the other at the
school. ?
Directors Approve
The board of directors of the
Newport Rural Fire Association
have voted to buy the radio equip
ment and have it installed when
money becomes available.
Obtaining several hundred dol
lars by selling $6 and $3 member
ship dues will take some time but
the board hopes to have it by fall,
Mr. Hill said.
Floyd M. Garner, president of
the association, said that permis
sion had been optained to join the
county network, operating from
the Morehead City police station,
when the equipment is installed.
The advantage of a radio on the
rural truck would be to more quick
ly summon additional hose or the
portable pump and the water trail
ers by relaying the message
through the police chief or the
Morehead station.
The standby crew which goes on
duty whenever there is an alarm
could then dispatch the needed
equipment.
Fine Turn-Out
Approximately 50 men turned
out Saturday morning to dig the
ditch for the water main. Bennie
R. Garner, chairman of the project,
said firemen were pleased with the
cooperation they received. The
ditch was dug about half-way Sat
urday and work will continue to
morrow.
The line will run from the wa
ter tank on the Nine-Foot Road to
the business section. Availability
of water will reduce fire insurance
rates on property which can be ser
viced from the line.
