Joslyn. county superin tendent of schools, in ah interview Tuesday, explained the proposed apportionment of the funds this county will receive from the first $25 million voted for schools by the people of North Carolina last fall. From the first $25 million Car teret will get *180.068.71. The county's share from the second $25 million has not been determined as yet and Mr. Joslyn said that he believes the State Board of Educa tion may not set those figures un til after the United States Supreme Court rules on segregation. The proposed program for school improvements follows: 1. Queen Street School annex ? building to be started in the school year 1954-55 ? $70,000 in state funds 2. Beaufort Graded School ? 1954-55 ? $110,245.53 for ele mentary schbol (state funds) PLUS an additional $2,154.47 which will have to come from county funds making a total of $112,400 for Beaufort's new elementary school. (The foregoing two projects are the only ones scheduled for the current year. Mr. Joslyn explained to the Beaufort school board at their recent meeting that since the funds for those two projects exceed the amount the county will receive from the first $25 million, there will be no money left to convert the present metal two-classroom building into a cafeteria as the board would like. B. E. Tarkington, principal of the school, said Wednesday that the present school cafeteria can feed only 106 children at a time and that does not take care of the entire first grade at one sitting). 3. W.

That includes the new Queen Street School and the new elementary school at Beaufort. Where ali the money will come from for yft*. other projects, Mr. Joslyn said he simply doesn't know. The projects have been set up according to need. All projects cannot ue taken care of at once See SCHOOLS, Page 2 Judge Mason Dismisses Case Beaufort Judge Requests Officers to Stop Traffic Violators Immediately Judge Earl Mason in Beaufort Recorder's Court Tuesday dismiss ed a charge of failing to stop for a stop sign, against Horace G. Lof tin. In dismissing the action. Judge Mason ordered that hereafter Beau fort policemen are to stop traffic violators immediately after the of fense is committed so that no doubt or confusion will arise as to where and what offense was committed. Assistant Chief of Police W. C. Garner told the court that he was parked on the west side of Cedar street and saw Loftin go by the stop sign at the intersection of Marsh and Cedar streets. He then pulled out and followed Loftin for two blocks on Cedar street. Loftin stopping at each in tersection, he said. Stops at School Loftin then stopped at the schoolhouse, Officer Garner said, where he was cited for failing to stop for the stop sign at Marsh and Cedar streets. Loftin said that he stopped at all three stop signs. He added that since he was only travelling about five or six miles an hour, he came to a dead stop at each one. Judge Mason then dismissed the case saying he wanted all officers to stop violators immediately after the violation or cases would be dismissed. Judge Mason also heard five other cases involving traffic viola tions and public drunkenness Jim Simpson and Leonard Davis, each charged with public drunken ness, were given 30 days on the streets.

Beaufort Board Tables Parking Ordinance Issue The Beaufort town board tabled an issue which has been hanging fire for a couple months when it met Monday night at the town hall. Gene Smith, town attorney, brought to their attention that the town ordinance on parking between the curb and sidewalk was not being administered impartially. He said that Lemuel Mason, who used the town property between the curb and walk on which to park cars, has been prohibited from doing that (Mr. Mason re pairs cars), while a Front street firm uses the same property be tween the curb and sidewalk to "store" steel, pipe and other ma terials essential in conducting a business. The board was reluctant to re? rtnd the ordinance prohibiting parking between the sidewalk and curb because the clerk, Dan Walk er, aaid that would mean it would be impossible for the town to keep the placet filled in or grass growing on them. So no action was taken. Chief of Police M. E. Guy pre sented a request for a beer per mit from Charles Whitford Collins who wants to sell beer at the Ca sino, formerly the Dew Drop Inn at 318 Pine St. The board author ized the chief to investigate further before they lake action. The recently-passed "litterbug ordinance" which allows Front Street merchants to pile their stuff on the sidewalks, was discussed. Commissioner Gerald Hill said he wished a delegation from the Wo man's Club would come and ask that the ordinance, prohibiting merchandise on the sidewalks, be put on the books again. Mr. Walker said that he believed the parking meter committee, ap pointed at April's meeting had fal len by the wayside. He said the chairman, Leslie Moore, had in formed him he wouldn't have time to do the necessary work. The committee was appointed at the request of Mr. Moore and sev eral other businessmen for the pur pose of investigating the poasibili ty of working out a plan for giv ing shoppers free parking on a cer tain day of the week. New Apptiaice At the request of J. P. Harris, fire commissioner, Clarence Davis Jr. was appointed trustee of the firemen's relief fund in the place of William Longest who has moved out of town.

May 7- The season for taking shrimp from waters under control of the state of North Caro lina will open at 12:01 a m Mon day, May 10, Director Ben E. Doug las of the State Department of Conservation and Development an nounced today. Shrimping operations day and night will be allowed in all state controlled waters except those of New River and its tributaries, where the taking of shrimp will not be permitted until June 15, Mr. Douglas said. Mr. Douglas said the decision to open the season May 10 was tak en on the advice and recommenda tion of William A. Ellison Jr., di rector of the Institute of Fisheries Research, University of North Car olina, at Morehead City. Mr. Elli son and his aides have been con ducting surveys of coastal wa ters in an effort to determine the quantity and quality of shrimp now inhabiting state waters. The work was supervised by Dr. Austin Wil liams, shrimp specialist. The CAD director, whose de partment includes the Division of Commercial Fisheries, said Mr. El ison has advised him that shrimp should be "running well" by the set opening date. To Enforce Regulation Mr. Douglas said the regulation adopted by the State Board of Con servation and Development at its meeting last March in Wilmington with respect to out-of-state shrimp trawlers operating in North Caro lina - controlled waters will he en forced "without fear or favor." This regulation, designed not on ly to protect North Carolina fisher men but also to encourage use of state ports by shrimp fishermen, provides that any person, firm or corporation, other than a common carrier, who takes out of the4 state of North Carolina in any trawler or other vessel owned by a non-res ident any shrimp taken in the in land commercial waters of the state will, upon conviction, be pun ished by law. All shrimp so taken will be confiscated and told or oth erwise disposed ai in the best in terests of the state, Mr. Douglw said. Reciprocal Agreenent Non-resident shrimpers, he em phasised, may have the same shrimping privileges permitted to resident shrimpers of North Caro lina if they comply with state laws by paying the usual license fees and taxes imposed by this state for commercial fishing. Mr Douglas said that under the C&D Board's regulation shrimping privileges in North Carolina wa ters will not be extended to any non resident shrimper seeking to operate in this state's inland com mercial waters if the state of which he is a resident and in which his trawler or other boat is registered prohibits North Carolina shrimpers from operating in the inland waters of that state.
