Duffy Guthrie, chairman of the blood bank committee, told the lodge that the hospital staff is ov er-worked and they cannot seem to find time to type blood of donors. He said that the Rotary, Jaycees, and the lodge were working on the project. It was suggested to him as well as the Jaycee represent ative, that the three clubs get to gether and hire a technician to type blood. The other alternative he said, was to wait until th* staff at the Morchead City Hospital had time to do the work. A motion was made from the floor to contact the Sea Level Community Hospital. Further action was tabled until that hospital is contacted. The lodge will cooperate in a nationwide "Operation Easter Car lift," sponsored by the Moose. The program is being offered by the Moose to all persons, who be cause of illness, disability or sim ilar cause, might be unable to at tend church on Easter because of lack of transportation.

'Commissioners Also Give Merchants Permission to Display Wares Outdoors The Beaufort town board in ses sion Monday night reduced over parking fines from $1 to SO cents and gave Front atreet business men the privilege of displaying their wares on the sidewalks. The SO cent fine goes into effect April 16. The action 'ollowed the reading of two petitions by Leslie Moore. The petitions were signed by Beau fort businessmen. Twenty - four attended the meeting. The petition regarding parking meters asked that the meters be reverted as they were before the recently nickel change-over and that the fine be reduced to 25 cents. Gene Smith, town attorney, told the petitioners that was illegal and he couldn't understand why they didn't comprehend that because it has been dealt with at length in the newspapers. Mr Moore said that of the 71 business people asked to sign their petition, 68 did so. He said he never saw the businessmen so unan imous in their opinion. "Four or five years ago when you wanted to put parking meters in, I was bitterly opposed to them Now I believe they're good but we were led to believe that their pur pose was to control traffic, not raise revenue. The parking meters now arc discouraging traffic com pletely," he told the board. Opposed to Fine Paul Jones said he was not op posed to the meters' regulating traffic but he said the $1 fine was too much. Twenty-five cents is enough. Commissioner Gordon Hardesty said if the fine was only a quarter, a person would park all day, let the ticket stay on his windshield and when ready to move he'd go pay his 2S cents. Commissioner Carl Hatsell said he would be willing to reducc the fine to 50 cents. E. W. Downum commented that he felt the major objection was to the fine not the 5-cent meters. Mr. Moore also said that he was told by Wiley Taylor Jr. that ft is Ille gal to park for an hour ami put another nickel in the meter at the same sp?t for another hour. The town attorney said that was true. James Potter said he spoke to the police chief and was told that the officers don't follow the letter See BOARD, Page 6 Season Closes with Concert By Jane Hobson Tuesday Chamber Gets 1% Requests Dr. W.

Board Takes Steps to Get Property Back The Beaufort town board Monday night made an official request that Congressman Graham A. Bar den introduce a bill to Congress that would restore to the town the "Coast Guard property" which the town sold to the federal govern ment for $1. The property is located at Len noxville at the east end of Front street. Gene Smith, town attorney, read the commissioners letters he has received on the matter. He has been informed that General Ser vices must declared the property "excess." An investigation which will take from 60 to 90 days was started March 12 and if the property is found to be of no further use to the government it may be bought by a state or municipality for recrea tional purposes at 50 per cent of the fair market price. Because that amount would be far in excess of what the town would be able to pay and since the property was turned over to the federal government for only a dol lar, the board felt that some other method should be used to regain title to~flie property. Mr. Smith suggested legislation.1 A letter from the congressman indicated that he wa< most sympa thetic in helping the town regain the property. Talks with Engineer The town attorney reported that on a recent visit to Raleigh he talked with William Rogers, chief engineer of the highway depart ment. They talked of the Beaufort Morehead City causeway and the two drawbridges. Mr. Rogers said the highway department is "famil iar" with how extensively traveled the causeway is and Mr. Smith said that there is speculation on moving the causeway to the north of the railroad tracks. There was a bit of discussion as to whether the highway would run from Bridges street in Morehead City to Broad in Beaufort ,or far ther north from Crab Point to the West Beaufort Road. Feeling that the changes, if any, are in the "far distant future," the board went on with other business. Gray Hassell, town engineer, re ported on progress of drainage work between Ann and Broad streets. Commissioner James Rum ley called attention to an "old well" behind the Otis Willis house on Marsh street which he says is open and full of stagnant water. Mr. Ilassell said the place would be covered over. Dan Walker, town clerk, told the board that there was only slight re sponse from businessmen who re ceived notices to pay their privi lege taxes. The taxes were due July 1 last year. The board directed that all taxes incur a 10 per cent penalty per month beginning May 1. Tw? to Investigate The town attorney and town en gineer were instructed to investi gate a request from a person (not identified ) who wants to lease property at the end of Broad street for an oyster house. Commission See MEETING, Page t Track Owners Ready Appeal Judge Malcolm Paul Mon day Upholds Injunction Closing Moyock Currituck, N. C. (AP) ? The North Carolina Racing Assoc., own ers of the Moyock dog racing track here, Tuesday was readying an ap peal from a judge's ruling Monday that the track be closed perma nently and the property sold at auction. Judge Malcolm Paul, in cham bers, upheld an injunction closing the track and ordered Currituck Sheriff K. L. Dozier to sell the property at auction within a year and to deny the owners the use of the land for the same period. A 1949 General Assembly act following pari-mutuel betting at the track recently was declared un constitutional by the State Su preme Court. A temporary re straining order was then signed against the track which Judge Paul made permanent Monday. Lawyers for the track announced they will appeal the ruling to the State Supreme Court in an effort to get an appeal before the United States Supreme Court. Judge Paul also ordered that Frank Aycock, the lawyer who prosecuted the case for J. A. Sum rell, Currituck farmer who insti gated the proceedings, be paid $7,500 from the sale money. Judge Paul said a state law al lows this fee to the lawyer who successfully prosecutes a case in which a business is closed as a public nuisance. The Currituck Racing Commis sion submitted its annual report to the county commissioners and said it now is defunct. The commission turned over $64, 507.49 to the county school fund, $32,253.75 to the county welfare fund, and $32,253.74 to the county general fund. The commission said $140,221.30 was the county's share of the 1953 season and the differ ence between the total and that reported Monday went to salaries and lawyers and auditors fees.
