OCTOBER 29. 1954 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Chief Guy is Back in Saddle Again Voters to Get Three Ballots Tuesday, Some will Get Four ? ? Four Patrolmen Issue Appeal to Drive Safely Carteret County's four state higiH way patrolmen. R. H. Brown, W. J. Smith Jr., J. W. Sykes and W. E. Pickard, yesterday issued an ap peal to all drivers to drive with especial care this weekend. The patrolmen pointed out that the accident trend in the county in recent weeks has taken an alarm ing upswing, just as it has through out the state. Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed Scheidt has launched a five-day at tack on the problem. Routine leaves and vacations of the state's more than 500 patrolmen have been cancelled. They have been working a 12-hour day since Wed nesday and will continue to do so through Sunday. All 65 pieces of the patrol's,elec tronic speed-checking equipment is now operating night and day. Commissioner Scheidt dubbed the campaign "Operation Four Horsemen" with an eye to the foot ball fever and a memory* of Notre Dame's old backfield. He explained that the patrol's colonel, James R. Smith, and its three majors already were in the field trying to put across an operation dictated by growing public apathy to the con stant problem of death on the high ways. "There has been," said Commis sioner Scheidt, "a definite let down by the public. For 12 months deaths have been down from the corresponding month of the year before. I think an attitude is de veloping that this problem has been licked. It hasn't been Jieked. We want to ch?age Ufa da.ge.5fus trend. The problem Is a continuing one. Yesterday's safety does no one any good today. "We are calling on the public for its cooperation in this lifesaving operation. Wc are askiag them to be careful, to drive wihin speed limits and to take all aafety pre cautions."

People arc putting their resort cottages and other buildings too close to the water's edge, Wilmington District En gineer R. L. Hill said this week in reporting to a committee of Uie State Board of Conservation and Development on damage caused by Hurricane Hazel. C&D Director Ben F Douglas suggested the State needs a law to prevent a property owner from bulldozing away a protective sand dune in order to make a site for his cottage. Colonel Hill agreed that sand dunes "are the cheapest form of sea wall we can build." But, he pointed out, many of them lie on private property." That sort of thing keeps a man from stepping out of his cottage right into the surf," he said wryly, "and some of them seem to want that sort of thing." , 'The prime sin that had been committed," he went on, "has been moving too close to the water with their buildings." The colonel said some of North Carolina's beaches lost four to five feet of their elevation because of the pounding they took in the re cent storm and beach strands along much ?f the coast now are very narrow "It's a barrier reef now," he said. He predicted that the reef would bu^ld up with a continuance of good weather. The state, he pointed out, has been hit by four hurricanes and a local storm in the IS months he has been at Wilmington. People should regard hurricanes aa something that do happen every now and then, he said.

Williams, county farm agent, Hid that he hai investigated several aweet potato fields in the county and has advised, the farmers not to sell any of the sweet pota toes on the open market now.

Beaufort Town Board, Running True to Form. Reverses Itself Commissioners Gordon Hardesty, Carl Hatsell and W. G." Temple voted against dismissal of Police Chief M. E. Guy at the special Beaufort town commission meeting Tuesday night. This had been predicted, based on the trio's record of William Gray To Serve Time On Town Streets In Morehead City's Recorder's court Monday morning, William T. Gray was sentenced to 30 days on the streets. His sentence is to run concurrently with a 90-day sen tence of Oct. 11 which was invoked. Gray was found guilty of public drunkenness and possessing illegal whiskey. He was also ordered to pay the fine and costs which were levied against him in his first sentence. Robert Raymond Nibbs, charged with drunken driving, was given his choice of 90 days working on the streets or payment of a fine of $100 and costs. Case Continued The case against Jake Raymond Baker was continued. He is charged with not having a driver's license and drunken driving Elijah J.

Avon Mason Tells Of Banks Damage Avon Mason, Atlantic, in a letter to THE NEWS-TIMES, reports that damage on the outer banks during Hurricane Hazel was more exten sive than people have been led to believe. He said that two of his cabins on the banks were destroyed. One was washed in a creek and the other was smashed and sanded up. A third cabin was off its foundation and a 40 by 16 house belonging to the Salter boys was completely car ried away. Cars and trucks used on the outer banks were sanded up and Mr. Mason said everyone who had property there suffered extensive loss. vacillation, inucvisiuii aim lacn 01 firmness in their approach to town matters. At a special meeting called just the week before, Hardesty voted to fire Guy. Temple, momentarily presiding as mayor pro-tem. could not vote. Hatsell was absent. That meeting was later declared void on the technicality that the commissioners had not been ad vised of it in writing 24 hours in advance. The Tuesday night meeting was scrupulously legal, Mayor Clifford Lewis having given 96 hours ad- ! vance notice in writing. The minority commissioners, j Gerald Hill and James D. Rumley voted to dismiss Guy. Submits Resignation When the vote on the motion to dismiss, made by Hill and second- , ed by Rumley, went against them, Rumley presented his resignation as a commissioner. This was not accepted on the i grounds that the "call" meeting had been set only for the purpose of discussing the chief of police case and nothing more. Session Threatened The meeting was held in the town court room to accommodate the 150 partisans and the curious. At the meeting's conclusion a resi dent of the recently town-annexed Front and Ann Street extended section said he would present a resolution of secession from resi dents of his area at the next com mission meeting. With seats in the court room al ready well filled, Mayor I^ewis and Town Clerk Dan Walker were the first officials to appear. Then in came the ,,tfio," Hardesty, Hatsell and Temple. They bunched them selves on a bench. Hatsell himself, who likes t* ape ?NEWS-TIMES phraseology but al ways with modest apology, speaks of his group as the "trio." Rumley came in alone, smiled pleasantly at them, started for their bench, changed his mind and set alone on another. Chief Guy and his attorney, John James, appeared like pall bearers and took seats in the front row of spectators. Gerald Hill was the last commis sioner to appear and he seated him self with Rumley. Last on the scene toting huge law books came Town Attorney Gene Smith. He hefted the books on to a table and collapsed in a chair nearby. Mayor Lewis rapped the meeting to order. Dan Walker offered prayer. The mayor rose, stated the pur pose of the meeting and read the list of charges against Chief Guy as grounds foi his dismissal: 1. Failure to obey an order of Judge Earl Mason on Oct. 25, 1953, that a pistol taken by Guy during a house search be confiscated. He said Guy traded the gun to a Beau fort businessman and that the trade was discovered and the gun recovered in July, 1954. , 2. Failure to follow a resolution of the town board that all pur chases for the town be made See CHIEF, Page 6 ? Board Orders Police lo Keep Hands Off Money Beaufort police officers may no longer "touch" money, according to an Oct. 20 order of the town com missioners. The order is still in force. One of Mayor Clifford T. Lewis's charges against Police Ch:ef M. E. Guy, whose dismissal he asked, was "discrepancies in turning in funds." The order reads: To police department personnel by order of the town commission ers: (1) In the future no bonds, , fines or court funds are to be ac- , copted by police officers. All such funds must be paid to the clerk's office during office hours or mail- , cd in. (2) Until new parking tickets are printed all violations with fines will be turned in to town clerk's office.
