error, take the youngster's name
and address and his parents' names.
The child will also be given a
folder entitled "Bicycle Behavior."
Then the parents will be written
a letter by the police department.
It will inform the parents what
traffic violation the youngster com
mitted. Enclosed will be a pamph
let similar to the one given the
child.
Supervising the program for the
Jaycees is Marion Mills. The High

Two Men Draw
Suspended Terms
In Assault Case
Plaintiff Wins Suit
Against Three Who Try
To Take Over Store
Suspended sentences were given
Bernard L. Lesher and Paul E.
Burdette Tuesday in County Re
corder's Court by Judge Lambert
R. Morris.
Lesher was given three months
on the roads, to be suspended on ,
payment of $25 and costs and three j
years good behavior. He was
charged with aiding and abetting in
an assault on a minor female.
Burdette was sentenced io six
months on the roads, suspended on
payment of $50 and costs, and
three years good behavior. He was
charged with contributing to the
dclinquincy of a minor.
Both warrants were amended by
the state to forcible trespass, to
which both men pleaded guilty.
Mable Horton, Crab Point, was
judged operator and owner of a
drink stand in the absence of her
husband, Harrison Horton. Defen
dants Julia Maria Hester, Racheal
and Ellen Johnson were told by
Judge Morris to refrain from mo
lesting the Horton woman.
She brought charges of trespass,
destroying property and disturbing
the peace against the defendants
when they allegedly took over the
drink stand operated by Horton
when he left town recently.
His wife testified that the build
ing was owned by her husband and
it is located on property owned
by her husband's brother, Dave.
She said that Harrison left Sat
urday and the defendants "moved
in" Sunday.
Defendants claimed they had
permission, by note, from Harri
son, to operate the stand during his
absence. This was denied by the
plaintiff.
Since the defendants claimed to
have investments in the stand and
the ground was not owned by Har
rison, they said they had as much
right to the proceeds as his wife,
but the judge didrf't see it that
way. . He ruled in lavor of Mablc
Horton.
Case Dismissed
The case of non-support brought
against Walter Joyner by his wile,
Narzella Joyner, was dismissed.
Mrs. Joyner told the court that
Joyner gave her money every
week, but she wanted half of the
$300 Joyner got for sale of a piece
of property recently.
Judge Morris said that the prob
lem was not a matter for the court,
but something to be thrashed out
at home.
Lloyd P. Voyles and Ricnard L.
Armstrong appealed the $50 fines
and cost* levied by Judge Morris
after they were found guilty of in
terfering with an officer in his
line of duty. Their bonds for ap
pearance in Superior Court were
set at $100.
George Smith, chief of police,
Atlantic Beach, brought charges
against Armstrong and Voyles who,
he said, attempted to take George
McCarthy out of his custody.
McCarthy Was charged with re
sisting arrest and assaulting Mur
phy Jenkins. McCarthy was tried
last week.
Armstrong and Voyles did not
take the witness stand. Another1
person, Edward J. Simon, was
charged with drunk driving in con
nection with McCarthy's arrest.
He was found guilty and ordered to
pay $125 and costs. He appealed
and his bond was set at $150.
Simon went to Beaufort to at
tempt to get Armstrong, Volyes,
and McCarthy out of jail. Accord
ing to testimony, he was told to

| off the jetty at Fort Macon point,
I at Tuesday afternoon by Coast
Gua-a.smen in a motor life boat.
Lloyd Brown, BM2, coxswain of
the Coast Guard boat, said "He
would have been gone if we had
been one minute later."
He added, "He must have been
a strong swimmer because if he
wasn't, he wouldn't have stayed
up as long as he did."
According to Brown, Garner had
not intended on going swimming
but decided to go in to rinse some
sand off.
The tide swept him out. He was
spotted by an unidentified man
who ran to the Coast Guard Sta
tion at Fort Macon and reported
the incident.
The ('oast Guard immediately
dispatched Brown and his crew.
Brown said that when they got
to Garner they threw him a life
ring but he went under before he
could get it.
When Garner came up again he
was close enough to the boat for
the crew to reach out and grab
him and pull him aboard.
Brown said when Garner was
pulled aboard he was so weak he
couldn't move. He was given arti
ficial respiration on the way In,
but according to Brown, he had
taken in very Httle water.
An ambulance took Garner to
the Morehead City hospital. He
stayed there for about two hours
and then went home.

county is ready for them. All of the natural background
is waiting, along with commercial*

banks.

The fish fry and boat races at |

picturesque grounds of the Sea
Level Hospital.
Joe DuBois, manager of the Sea

Faulty Insulator
Causes Power
Trouble Here
A faulty insulator on the Navy
high tension line between Cherry
Point and Camp I,ejeune affected
the power flow in four counties,
Carteret, Craven. Pamlico and
Beaufort, Monday night. Carteret
weathered the trouble until 6:44
a m Tuesday when Cherry Point,
unable to carry the heavier day
light load had to drop Beaufort.
The power there was off until
8:11 a.m.
At 2 a.m. Tuesday it was thought
that the trouble had been correct
ed, according to (icorge Stovall,
manager of Carolina Power and
Light Co. here. But trouble show
ed up later and the cause was not
found until a helicopter from Cher
ry Point took off at dawn and
inspected the line.
The faulty insulatpr was located
12 miles west of Croatan and re
pair crews were sent down by 'cop
ter. The insulator was replaced
and power restored to normal
shortly after 8 a.m.
The line affected was the 110,
000 volt line between the two Ma
rine bases.
Mr. Stovall gave credit to the
Navy for handling the job extreme
ly well and for maintaining the
flow ot power into Carteret Coun
ty.
