Roof of Grandstand
Falls on Mcintosh Home
When the roof of the Morehead-4
City ball park grandstand crashed
into the rear of the Bradley Mcin
tosh home at 209 N. 11th St. around
6:30 p.m. Monday, the Mcintosh
family had no warning.
"There was a rumbling and the
whole house was a-trembling. It
felt like the earth was going to
swallow us up," said Mrs. Mcin
tosh.
The family had gone into the
front hallway to see if the porch
had caved in. A huge limb from a
tree had broken off and hit the
porch.
Mrs. Mcintosh said that while
the house was shaking, Bradley
Mcintosh Jr. went into the kitchen
and saw a 2 by 6 timber sticking
through the kitchen ceiling near
the wall-ceiling juncture.
A glance out the kitchen door
told the story. The roof of the
grandstand had blown off, twisted
and fallen against the rear of the
house.
It had caved in the roof of the
back porch, tore weatherboarding
off the south and west sides of
the house, and came to rest lean
ing on the rear of the home and
against a tree in the back yard.
About five minutes before the
limb of the tree in front of the
house fell, Mr. Mcintosh and
Bradley Jr. were in the kitchen re
moving their boots.
When the limb hit the porch
they went to the hallway to see
how badly the porch had been
damaged.
After Bradley Jr. notified the
family of the other wreckage, the
family went across the street to
D. G. Lewis' store, and then spent
the night at Mr. Mcintosh's sis
ter's home.
Mrs. Mcintosh said, "We have a
lot to be thankful for. It could ve
been a lot worse."
r During last year's hurricane a
tree had blown down in the rear
of the home.
The wreckage of the roof re
mained Wednesday. It was lean
ing against the back of the house
and against a tree on the south
side. A large section was lying
near the schoolhouse.
Mrs. Mcintosh said that there
was no insurance, but that H. L.
Joslyn, county school superin
tendent, told Mr. Mcintosh that he
would see that the wreckage was
cleared away and damage to the
house repaired.
The grandstand had been erect
ed during WPA days. It was con
demned in 1953. A group of sports
enthusiasts including James Webb,
William Wade, and Clarence Pelle
tier, all of Morehead City, raised
funds totaling $600 to repair the
grandstand. Work was done by
John Eaton, school maintenance
man.
After the work was done, the
condemnation sign was lifted and
the grandstand served both the
high school and the County Base
ball League.
Mr. Joslyn stated that the grand
stand was insured. He said there
are at present no plans to rebuild
it. "Since the seats are in good
shape, it might very well be used
as a bleachers," he said.
Fire Damages
Avery Home
Several thousand d o 1 1 a r ? {ire
damage was caused to the John
Avery home, highway 101, Beau
fort, at noon yesterday.
The Beaufort Fire Department

Pier Swept
Away by Storm
The Cedar Island fishing pier,
operated by Mrs. Clayton Fulcher
Jr., Atlantic, was swept away in
Monday's storm.
Mrs. Fulcher estimates the loss
at $5,000. A small part of the pier,
close to the shore, was left stand
ing, but it's such a small portion
that no fishing can be done from it.
The pier was swept away when
the wind shifted from northeast to
northwest.
Mrs. Fulcher said that the pier
will probably be replaced next
year. It was not insured.
The refreshment stand had slight
exterior damage but everything in
side was intact. Mrs. Fulcher says
she will continue to operate the
stand the rest of the season and
picnicking and swimming will take
place at Cedar Island beach as
usual.
Morehead Police Have
Two Unclaimed Bicycles
Two unclaimed bicycles ire at
the Morehead City Police Ststion.

The litter from Monday night's
storm was gradually being cleared
away in Beaufort and Morehead
City this week. But it will take an
other few days to remove all evi
dence of the hurricane.
Many roofs lost shingles in the
blow and scores of television an
tennas are hanging like flowers on
broken stems. The plate glass win
dow in the A&P Store, Morehead
City, was shattered, the glass was
blown out of the rear door at
Rose's 5 and 10, Morehead City,
and a large sign at Sound Chevro
let Co. blew on top of some cars.
A picture of the felled sign ap
peared in several papers in the
New York area this week.
Perhaps the worst damage in the
county occurred at the Bradley
Mcintosh home near the Morehead
School. The top of the grandstand
Gene Holcomb, of the Red

that the Red Cross would be call

knocked down the back porch of
the Mcintosh house.
Mayor A. B. Cooper. Atlantic
Beach, reports damage there was
light. The wind ripped the canvas
cover off the Kiddie Park roller
coaster. Houses at the beach fared
no worse than homes in Beaufort
and Morehead City.
Harris Home Damaged
The most serious damage in
Beaufort evidently occurred at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Harris,
213 Broad St. Mr. Harris said that
the shingles on the west side of an
addition to the house were stripped
off by the wind at 7:30 Monday
night and then, soaked by rain,
the sheet rock on the inside wall
fell two hours later. He estimated
damage at between $500 and $600.
Part of a roof blew off a home
owned by C. S. Harrell, Pine
Street. The home was unoccupied.
The metal roof on top of some
old buildings along the Beaufort
More head City cau*u**y was torn
off and is draped flRe a piece of
cloth across the front of the build
ings. A large section toward the
front of the Fry Roofing Co. roof
was also laid bare by the wind.
Utilities company men say that
last August's "hurricane" was
worse than "Carol."

Enrollment Hits
Unexpected High
InCounty Schools
Superintendent Says He
Will Apply for Addi
tional Teachers
'Schools in the county are not
only bulging at the seams, they're
cracking," H. L. Joslyn, county su
perintendent of schools reported
with an element of despair yester
day.
Registered on Wednesday were ;
506 more pupils than were register- j
ed at the end of the first 10 days
last fall. Enrollment always in
creases during the first 10 days
and Mr. Joslyn estimates that there j
will be 150 more to register by
Sept. 14.
That would bring the total en
rollment to 5,578. This tremendous,
unexpected increase in the number
of pupils means that more teachers
will be needed. Mr. Joslyn says
an application will be sent to the
state for more teachers after the
10th day enrollment figures are
known.
But it's impossible to get more
space simply by applying for it.
Mr. Joslyn said he could use a mil
lion and a quarter dollars right
now to build the classrooms neces
sary.
In Beaufort School classes are
meeting in the auditorium and li
brary. At Morehead City Mrs.
Mamie Taylor's sixth and seventh
grade combination, 32 pupils, is
housed in a room at the Recreation
Center. All children, grades 1
through 8, are in the new Camp
Glenn school. The old building is
not being used.
Mr. Joslyn said that the way
things look now he will fyavc to ap
ply for four additional elementary
teachers and one high school
teacher.
School enrollment figures for the
first day follow. The enrollment in
the elementary school is given
first, then the high school enroll
ment and then the total: Atlantic,
292 ? 81 ? 373; Beaufort, 829 ? 1

Expresses Doubt
RAr; % ^ out
K. M Foreman, county lorest*
ranger, expressed doubt this week
about the 3,000-acre forest fire be
ing completely dead.
In tpite of the recent heavy
rains, he laid the flames burning
underground might not have been
affected and could spring up in
some other area.
None of the rain that fell in
Beaufort and Morehead City Sun
day hit the forest fire area. The
first rain the fire got was the hur
ricane rain of Monday.
Mr. Foreman said as many as 40
to 90 men were fighting the blaie
at times. The fire was located
northeast of Beaufort between
Ward's Creek and North River and
had started burning into the Open
Grounds.
The fire started Aug. 20 when an
engine on a saw blew up. Destroy
ed in the fire, besides thousands
of trees, was a tractor owned by
pulpwood worker*
Mr Foreman said the fire was
not the biggest he has ever had
to deal with. The largeat covered
32,000 acres and occurred about
three years ago in the Long Bay
section
