Head-On Collision with Bus
Claims Life of Corpsman
Who's Snowing Who?
By LOCKWOOD PHILLIPS
While Morehead City Port dozes in the summer heat, bustling
Wilmington Port has effected an important reduction of railroad
rates which has aroused the ire of the Virginia State Ports Au
thority.
The new rates, which give Wilmington Port an advantage over
the Hampton Roads area by five cents per hundred pounds on heavy
shipments including tobacco, is scheduled to go into effect on
Sept. 7.
Virginia State Ports Authority has asked the Interstate Com
merce Commission to investigate the proposed rail coat reductions
to Wilmington and to suspend the Sept. 7 effective date.
If the new rate favoring Wilmington stands up under ICC in
vestigation most of Virginia's tobacco as well as virtually all of
North Carolina's tobacco will be loaded on vessels at Wilmington
Port.
This again is another major indication that North Carolina State
Ports Authority centers its full attention on building up Wilming
ton Port. Let that tobacco, all of it, go now to Wilmington and
Morehead City never will get any of it in the future!
A year and half ago. the A&EC Railroad would have been will
ing to reduce their rates if the North Carolina State Porta Authority
had been willing to go through ICC channels as it has done for
Wilmington.
But Morehead City Port (and those connected with it) has been
drugged into blissful sleep with promises, the kind of pills the
doctor might order to keep his patient out of misery in his last
hours before death.
'Mystery Giver' Sends
$200 to Principal
B. E. Tarkington, principal of
Beaufort School, announced this

donor, $260 toward its scholar
ship fund.
Mr. Tarkington said the money,
in 10 $20 -dollar bills came to him
through the mail with a note
that the money is to be used to
help fulther the education of a
worthy student
The Beta Club, whose mem
bers are those with high scholas
tic standing, lust, yea t rabed
$25# toward a scholarship fond.
The scholarship was won by
Grace Whitehurst, a memhor of
the Beaufort class of '53, who
will enter Woman's College,
Greensboro, next month.
Town Clerk Talks
On Smelly Topic
"My subject smelk. and its fig
ures will astound you," Beaufort's
town clerk, Dan Walker, told mem
bers of the Beaufort Rotary Club at
its meeting in the Inlet Inn Tues
day night. Mr. Walker's topic was
"Garbage."
The town of Beaufort, he said,
employs 14 persons, six of whom
work full time as garbage collec
tors. with a seventh working indi
rectly on the garbage detail. Mr.
Walker said the garbage crew
makes over 3,000 individual stops
in Beaufort each week. Residential
garbage is collected twice weekly,
with most business establishments
getting dally collections, particular
ly those firms with health depart
ment ratings.
Mr. Walker tremed the current
collection program a well-organ
ized, efficient system, and urged
Rotarians to help keep it that way.
"We've had only three complaints
in five months," he laid.
There are still some citizens, the
clerk continued, who Insist on get
ting their garbage out late. Others
hide their garbage cans behind
parked autos. Then there is a

ICC Investigation
Washington The Virginia State
Porta Authority haa requested the
Interstate Commerce Commission
to investigate a proposed reduction
in railroad rates on tobacco ship
ped from North Carolina points to
Wilmington, N. C.
The ports authority protested
that the reduction would give Wil
mington an advantage over the
Hampton Roads ports in Virginia.
It asked the ICC to suspend the
rate cuts, scheduled to take effect
Sept. 7, pending an investigation.
The ports authority said South
ern railroads proposed a rate cut
on heavy shipments on tobacco
from Virginia and North Carolina
to Wilmington and the Hampton
Roads port to meet truck compe
tition.
But it said the reductions were
more favorable to Wilmington than
to the Virginia port an(j would dis
rupt the "long standing port rela
tionship" between the two areas.
The ports authority said the
proposed rate to Wilmington
would be five cents per hundred
pounds under ratea to the Hamp
ton Roads area on heavy ship
ments.
The present spread on heavy
shipments it said, is one cent per
hundred pounds.

Edward S. Wargo, 24, stationed at Camp Lejeune, was
killed instantly at 7 p.m. Tuesday when the car he was
driving crashed head-on into a Seashore Transportation
Co. bus on Highway 24 two miles west of Bogue Field.
Wargo was a Navy hospital corpsman attached to MAG
26, a helicopter squadron at Camp Lejeune.
According to Coroner Leslie D. Springle, Wargo was
Driving a 1950 Hudson toward
Swansboro when he collided with a
Seashore Bus going toward More
head City. The bus was driven by
Lloyd Guthrie, Markers Island.
There were no passengers in the
bus and Wargo was alone in the
car.
According to the coroner, Guth
rie said that Wargo was in the left
lane of traffic, headed for the bus.
When the car was 30 to 40 feet
from him, Guthrie said he reduced
his speed to about 33 miles an hour
and then turned to the left to avoid
a collision. But as he did so, Wargo
turned back into his own lane and
the two vehicles met.
Coroner Springle said Wargo had
extensive head injuries. His car
was demolished. The body was
taken to Camp Lejeune by ambu
lance.
State Highway Patrolman R. H.
Brown said th? impact threw War
go from the car and spun the car
around. It appeared that the right
rear wheel of the bus passed over
Wargo't left shoulder and head as
the bus continued forward on the
left shoulder of the road before
stopping.
Wargo was reported to be re
turning to Lejeune from Atlantic
Beach where he had a part-time
job. He left the beach about 6:30
p.m.
The bus driver was knocked out
momentarily and "shook up" the
coroner said, but otherwise suffer
ed no ill effects from the collision.
Damage to the bus was estimated
at more than $2,000.
Coroner Springle said there was
no evidence that Wargo had been
drinking. No charges have been
preferred but officers were contin
uing investigation of the case yes
terday. The coroner said there
would be no inquest.
Wargo is survived by his lather.

go'a death the sixth highway fatal
ity in the county this year. This
is two less than at the same time

Four Towns Will
Get Powell Funds
Morehead City Receives
Largest Chunk; Total
Due Here $33,323.33
Four Carteret towns will share
in the $5,390,897.20 in Powell Bill

month among 396 towns and cities
for local street improvements.
Atlantic Beach will get $2,561.38;
Beaufort, $9,177.86; Morehead City,
$18,224.64; and Newport, $3,359.45.
Total for the four towns will be
$33,323.33.
Checks will be mailed to munici
palities in mid-September. Allo

determined by the 1950 federal
census, and on each municipality's
relative mileage of non - highway
system streets.
Payments are computed by the
Highway Commission's Division of
Statistics and Planning. This year
the communities get $1.77 per capi

The money comes from a half
cent gallon share of the state's
gasoline tax for the fiscal year pre

1954-55 allocation the largest dis
tributed since the Powell Bill was
passed in 1951.
Newport Firemen
Engage in Drills
The recent monthly drill of the
Newport Fire Department was di
vided into two parts. The first part
was a "driving course" conducted
by Assistant Chief Bonnie Garner.
Each fireman had the opportunity
of backing the "town" truck onto
the wooden boards in the fire sta
tion.
If the fireman made it in one try
he scored 1, those who had to come
forward once scored 2, those who
had to come forward more than
once scored 3, while those requir
ing assistance received 4.
Two firemen, B. T. Smith, and
Robert Parrish, scored 1. Three
firemen scored 2; four firemen
made 3, and two firemen made
4. A slight accident marred the
event. One fireman scraped a fen
der.
The other part of the drill was
conducted at the Forestry Service
Lookout Tower. The exercise con
sisted of placing an extension lad
der up the tower and running hose
lines up the ladder. The lines were
secured to the ladder and water
pumped through the lines. The
drills were timed. Team 2 began
from a dead start and got water in
slightly over two minutes.
