Legion to Close
Hut In Beaufort
In Two Weeks
Masons, Who Own Land
On Which Hut Stands,
To Remove Building
Beginning May 1, 1954 the coun
ty veterans' service officer, C. L.
Beam, will maintain his office iq
the courthouse annex, Beaufort.
The American Legion Hut, Turner
street, Beaufort, where Mr. Beam
has been located will be vacated
by the Legion the end of this
month.
At the request of Franklin Lodge
AF&AM, on whose property the hut
stands, the Legion is vacating the
building. The Masons feel that
the hut, built in 1932, is in such a
state of disrepair that it should be
dismantled.
James L. Range, commander of
' Carteret Post No. 99, has notified
all individuals and groups using the
hut, that it will not be available af
ter the first of next month. In the
notice, Commander Range said,
"We anticipate that in the near
future we will again be able to of
fer facilities ... as efficiently as
our means will permit."
The Legion, in the past, has con
sidered plans to build a hut on
their fairground property on the
Lennoxville Road. The Masons
have no definite plans for use of
their land (located next door to the
Masonic Temple) other than to see
that the hut is removed.
Lodge trustees are handling the
matter. Tlje Masons have allowed
the Legion to use the land rent
free.
The hut was built during Works
Progress Administration (WPA)
days and in recent years, in ad
dition to housing the veterans' ser
vice office, has been used for pub
lic meetings.
The notice of the closing of the
hut has been sent to county veter
ans of all wan, to widows of vet
erans, retired tervicemen and wo
men, dependents of men in service,
the American Legion Auxiliary,
Veterans of Foreigi Wars. VFW

Held for Grand
Jury Action
Inquest on Death of Two
Harlowe Men Takes
Place at New Bern
Willard Haith, 37 year old Greens
boro Negro, was ordered held for
grand jury action at the next term
of Craven County Superior Court,
after a coroner's jury ruled that
lvey Taylor, 52, and Charles Cum
mings, 38, both of Harlowe, had
met their deaths because of his
negligence in a three-truck col
lision on highway 70 east of New
Bern last Monday.
The coroner's inquest Monday
night in the Craven County court
room featured the testimony of
R. L. Mims, Ray T. Nicholson, and
Patrolman C. C. Jones. Coroner
Frank Ballard presided at the in
quest.
Mims and Nicholson both testi
fied that they were riding towards
New Bern on highway 70 in a 1949
Ford pickup and were slowing to
make a left turn as the 1952 Chev
rolet pickup occupied by Taylor
and Cummings was approaching
from the opposite direction.
Nicholson stated that he had giv
en the signal for the left hand turn
when suddenly his truck was struck
from behind. He stated that he did
not know the pickup Cummings
and Taylor were in had been in
volved in the collision until later.
Nicholson and Mims sustained
only minor injuries. Taylor and
Cummings died shortly after being
rushed to the hospital.
Patrolman Jones gave the jury
a word picture of the wreck scene
as he found it upon arrival and la
ter stated that in his opinion Haith
had done everything possible to
avoid the collision. Had not the
two Harlowe men died the only
charges brought against Haith prob
ably would have been improper
brakes or driving on the wrong side
of the road.
Jones told the Jury (Mi lfflWr
told him at the scene he was travel
ing about 40-45 mllea per hour and
hit his brakes four times but each
time they failed. Jones added that
Haith declared he even tried (he
emergency brake but that had no
effect.
The truck in which Haith was
riding, a Kraft foods truck about
half loaded with cheese, hit the
pickup directly ahead of it and
caromed into the pickup in which
Taylor and Cummings were killed.
When asked if the brakes had
been tried after the accident to see
if they would hold, Jones stated
that a mechanic had informed him
the air brakes could not be tested
without starting the motor and $200
or $300 in repairs would be needed
for that.
Following the inquest Coroner
Ballard stated that Haith would be
held under the same <1,000 bond
that was posted following the acci
dent.

Doctors Meet in Monthly
Session, Appoint Public
Relations Committee
The Carteret County Medical So
ciety, in session Monday night at
the Morehead City Hospital, dis
cussed the "walking blood bank"
proposed by several Morehead City
civic organizations.
The doctors have announced that
typing of blood can be done by the
Morehead City Hospital Laboratory
from 12:30 to 2 p.m. daily except
Saturday and Sunday. Hoyle Green,
hospital superintendent, said the
persons willing to give blood
should be sent by their respective
organizations in groups of three to
five.
A "walking blood bank" refers
to individuals who have volun
teered to give blood. In order to
be of help, their blood must be
typed so that they can be called to
give blood immediately without de
lay of finding out what type they
have.
Dr. Manly Mason, president of
the society, presided. The minutes
of the March meeting were read
by the secretary, Dr. Theodore Sal
ter. who also read several letter*
from the State and American MeU
ical Association.
Dr. John Morris, Dr. F. E. Hyde
and Dr. S. W. Hatcher were ap
pointed to the public relations com
mittee. Dr. Morris, following the
meeting, said, "In the past, misun
derstandings have arisen regarding
the Morehead City Hospital and the
medical staff, and the Carteret
County Medical Society wishes to
give regular reports to the public
to accurately inform the citizens of
the county about hospital and med
ical matters.
"It is hoped that in this way the
newspapers and radio will be given
undistorted facts concerning the
hospital and its activities as well as
current medical subjects which are
written about in magazines and
which frequently cause individuals
to misinterpret statements and
draw wrong conclusions concerning
them
"The medical staff feels that t
well informed public is very de
sirable in order that full coopera
tion may be given the doctors of
the county and the Morehead City
Hospital who have only one pur
pose?to give the best poarfble
medical service to the people of
this area."
In addition to the business ses
sion. Dr. G. C. Cooke spoke an
various aspects of diagnosis and

((?signs from Polic* Fore*
i Sgt. Bruce Edwards of the More

his resignation, effective Saturday,

? In the North River Methodist
Church yard members of the choir
and the congregation have built
a scene depicting the crucifixion
and resurrection.
The tomb has been built of field
stone. At the tomb are Mary, the
mother of Jesus, Mary Magda
lene and Salome. Inside the en
trance is an angel. In the back
ground to the side of the tomb
are three crosses on a slight rise
of land. Over the middle cross is
the sign, Jesus, King of the Jews.
The Biblical text, from which the
details of the tableau have been
taken, is Mark 16, chapters 1
through 6.
The life-size figures in the scene
were made by members of the con
gregation. The heads and hands
arc of plaster paris. The loca
tion is in a garden laid out by the
Methodist Youth Fellowship sev
eral years ago. For the Easter tab
leau, the garden is that of Joseph of
Arimathea who allowed a tomb in
his garden to be used for the burial
place of the Saviour.
There are plans now to beau
tify the garden by planting azal
eas and preparing it for a more ef
fective scene in future years.
The tableau is lighted by flood
lights at night and music, recorded
by the North River Methodist
Church choir, is played over a loud
speaking system. Director of the
choir and supervisor of the work
is Mrs. Ray West.
Mrs. West expressed her appreci
ation to Mrs. J. W. Jackson of
Morehead City for lending them
her tape recorder and to members
of Core Creek Methodist Church
who have helped with making of
the figures, lighting and music.
The Core, Creek congregation has
become noted throughout the coun
ty for its outdoor manger scene
put up at Christmas time.
Mrs. West gives everyone in the
congregation credit for helping
with the Easter scene. Work on it
was started only last week. They
hope to improve it each year.
The North River Methodist
Church is located on the right side
of highway 70 as one travels east,
about eight miles from Beaufort.
