Kitagawa Beach (Continued from Page 1) look as though they were built , on the top of a cliff The waves | washed back close to the fronts of the cottages, cutting a new beach line and leveling dunes. Cottages are left standing up on "cliffs" with board walks from them stick ing out into space like pirates' "walk-the-plank" boards. All of the cottages suffered most from undermining by the an gry tide-, rather than from wind Some stand miraculously, support ed by only one pillar or stack of concrete blocks. Others have top pled forward toward the ocean, the weight of the roofs crushing every thing beneath them to ground lev- ; el. ? Cottage Moved The three-story James McEwen I cottage next to Money Island was moved, in toto, back 25 feet from its foundation. Because Courie's Villa and other hotels at Money Island stand high above the water, they escaped dam age. All hard-surfaced roads at the beach are buried beneath sand. One road running from the ocean front north to the Fort Macon road has 3-foot gullies washed out on each side of it and the edges of the road have collapsed into the sand and water. Ninety per cent of the rambling, swank Dunes Club has been severe ly damaged. The front has caved in. Just east of the Dunes Club, the homes nt Club Colony looked similar to those farther westward toward Atlantic Beach. The Club Colony Road, just east of the road from the Fort Macon Highway, has been washed away. A gulley 20 feet wide has been cut from the ocean through to the dunes. The gulley is about 8 feet deep with the macadam that was the road, lying on the bottom. Everywhere are wooden steps, railings, porch furniture, shutters and other debris flung viciously by the waves as far as a thousand feet inland. Pier Gone The Triple-S Ocean Fishing Pier extends out as far as low water mark and that's all. The few re maining pilings sticking up close .inland are now being used by gulls as resting spots. One of the men employed at the pier said he was in his cottage watching the storm. He said the outer end of the pier was torn off at about 9 o'clock Friday morning: "The seas were breaking right over the top of it. About 2 minutes later, the shelter out on the pier went. The whole thing was gone and we never saw any more of it." B. L. West, manager of the pier, had not gotten in touch with Mr. Stevenson, the owner, by Saturday afternoon due to downed telephone line! It was not known at that time whether the pier would be re built. The tackle shop and refreshment building were slightly damaged by the water. The southwest corner collapsed when the sand under it washed away. Mayor Cooper said one of the greatest damages is the beach it self. He believes the sloping, safe bathing beach is gone. Cutting of the dunes back by about 75 feet has made the beach into a broad expanse similar to the famed racing beach of Daytona, Fla. Sightseers and trucks have been driving casually up and down the beach ever since Friday. Rotations See Film Produced by Oil Institute Morehead City's Rotary Club aaw a film produced by the Petroleum Institute at their weekly meeting Thursday night at Fleming's Rest aurant. The film dealt with the oppor tunities available In the business world for the young man wining to go into business for himself. Alvah Hamilton was in charge of the program. Visitors at the meeting were Dr. L. S. Spence, Melbourne, Fla., and Jack Oakley, Beaufort. , 1954 MERCURY MONTEREY 4- Door, Black and I Tory, Mercomatic Drive, Radio, Heater, Directional Signal*.

Mrs. Herman Clark. Fayetteville, president of the auxiliary, will pre side. Two hundred women are ex pected.. Hurricane (Continued from Page 1) quently the screens were blown apart. No houses along the causeway between Beaufort and Morehead City were left intact. The cottage, Coxhaven, was totally destroyed, at others several rooms were carried away or the foundations torn out from under them. The fishing cabins at camps were moved from one spot to another and skiffs were carried 250 feet from the water up to the road. Docks Gone Docks on Radio Island were washed away but damage to homes was not extensive. Radio WMBL went on the air at 2 a.m. Friday when advisories stated that the storm was getting closer to this area, scheduled to hit between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington. It was announced over the radio that there would be no school Fri day. R. M. Williams, county agent, said that crops downeast have been damaged by saltwater flooding the fields. Sweet potato crops and corn are a loss, he reported. All the farms along Highway 101 have suf fered considerably. Mr. Williams said that he expects state and federal agriculture offi cials to check here soon and finan cial aid to farmers may be forth coming. Ted Davis, manager of the More head City Chamber of Commerce, said yesterday that the storm dam aged the center supports of the Recreation Center auditorium and the building has been banned for dances or other large gatherings. The Chamber of Commerce of fices are in the front part of the Recreation Center. Displaying great faith, Mr. Davis commented, "I've been told that if the building falls, it will fall backwards and not forward, to we're staying in the chamber office."

Williams, county agent, said yesterday that only 15 votes had been turned in on the Nickels for Know How referendum. The referendum and the hurricane oc curred on the same day. The 15 votes were brought in Saturday from Merrimon. Mr. Wil liams said that lie, David Jones, soil conservationist, and B. J. May, manager of the ASC office, were going to visit the various precincts yesterday to pick up ballots. Because the vote throughout the state is expected to be very light, due to the storm, he said he didn't know whether another vote would be scheduled or some other plan made. Sheriff Hugh Salter said yester day that he and deputy sheriffs have been kept busy since the storm checking on cottages and in vestigating complaints of looting. Firemen Answer Three Alarms Beaufort's Fire Department an ?vend three fire calls in two days Friday and Saturday. At ? p.m. Friday the firaatoi were callari to Ann and Turner Streets to get a "live" electric wire under control. The wire did not cauae any damage and waa put ool of coouniaaioB in 10 minutes.

Bridge OK The bridge across the Thorough fare between Atlantic and Cedar Island was undamaged by the storm. Bridges along Highway 24 were intact, other than shoulders being gashed away on the ap proaches. Kepairs were made Sat urday and Sunday. (Continued from Page 1) centers and folks crowded in as the storm gathered momentum and their houses filled with water. The west plate glass tn the Co Kinial Store, Front Street, Beau fort, was shattered and salt spray fWBtd in on eookie mix and flour. All the windows in Merrill's Men's store opposite the Colonial were knocked out and the stock was soaked by rain snd salt spray. Stores and shops on the south *ide of Front were turned into in door wading pools as the tide churned in through the doors and up through the floors. Up until the time of the power was cut off, wires snapped loose from poles, shot sparks and drop ped to the ground. By 10 a.m. most phones were knocked out. Until the radio went dead, omin ous announcement would come forth regarding the progress of the storm, followed by numbers as lilting and airy as "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies." At one time with tree limbs cracking, boats shipping water and tugging at their lines, the oft heard announcement of coming events via radio was, "There will be a revival . . At that time, folks were wondering if there would be anything left to revive. All stores and businesses were closed. Folks who had boats were looking after their boats .first, then their families. Houses that had just been re-shingled after Ed na. were getting a working over by Hazel. f Insurance adjusters who not more than a few days ago, sighed with relief because their work was finished here, are back again. Schools were closed. A 6-year old said to his mother, in the midst of the havoc, "I think we're going to have a storm." By 2 p.m., the sun which strangely shed its light through the clouds on several occasions dur ing the storm, came out and in seeming mockery beamed down brightly on the wreckage and the still angry waters. High winds continued as Hazel shook her skirts of the Carteret Coast and rampaged inland to cause more havoc. Hazel was no lady! Royal Band Fires Sax Player Honolulu ( AP) ? The Royal Ha waiian band baa fired its 5 foot 7 aaxaphone player, Peter M. Kane Jr becauae he weighs ISA pounds and has trouble walking up atairs.
