Two-Way Traffic
Flows on Bridge
The Beaufort Bridge across Gal
lants Channel opened to two-way
traffic Wednesday afternoon, after
being open to only one-way traffic
since last Friday. The gross weight
limit per vehicle was still limited
to three tons and is expected to
continue until repairs are complete.
Watchmen have been at either
end of the bridge during the day
to prevent two vehicles trying to
cross at the same time. Because
steel beams were bolted ' on the
road surface of the bridge to stable
pilings beneath, two cars could not
pass simultaneously.
The North River Bridge, washed
away at each ?nd by the Oct. 19
storm is still open to one-way traf
fic only. Temporary bridging has
been put in with the approaches
marked by flares st night. Watch
men are still on duty there.
As a precaution against the Beau
fort bridge suddenly closing again,
the state highway patrol sent an
other car hara and kept it on the
east side of the draw so that trana
portation would be assured patrol
men in Umtv eastern part o I the
county in case of emergency.

Dan Walker, Beaufort town
clerk, announced yesterday that
the new town map, drawn by Gray
Hassell, town engineer, is ia the
hands o( Leigh Wilson, assistant
executive director of the North
Carolina League of Municipalities.
Mr. Wilson is working on renum
bering houses in the town and is
expected in Beaufort in the near
future to check up on his work.
A lot of the homes are misnum
bered. Mr. Walker pointed out.
This is not troublesome to towns
folk or mail carriers, he added, but
insurance companies have to have
the correct numbers on homes and
business places.
Queries Received
Some places are not even num
bered and property owners fre
quently call the town hall and ask,
"What's my house number?" and
there's no answer to give them.
The numbering Mr. Wilson is do
ing will be according to the num
ber of feet. For example, business
property may be numbered every
20 feet and residential property
every 60 or some other set footage.
Mr. Walker emphasized that the
number will in no way change or
affect property lines. The renum
bering process will simply put the
town on a uniform basis and pro
vide homes and businesses with ac
curate designation.
The zbning map is slated for
bringing up to date. Certain sec
tions at present do not bear the
property color markings and just
last week another area, from Ann
Street northward on Live Oak, was
designated as business.
Hearing Held
A hearing on zoning took place
last Thursday at the town hall.
Residents in the block from Front
to Ann were present. Among them
was Miss Mary Arrington. Miss
Arrington said that the little store
building on the south side of Ann
just east of Live Oak should be
condemned and torn down.
She said this week, however,
that she did not suggest that the
home at the southeast corner of
Live Oak and tAnn be torn down as
stated in Tuesday's paper. That
home is occupied by Mrs. Alec Ma
son and Miss Arrington emphasized
this week that there is nothing
wrong with the horn*. Her only
concern was about the store build
ing nearby which is net used m a
store and is reported to be in a
state of disrepair.
The League of Municipalities of
ficial, Mr. Wilson, has been field
consultant since 1947. He was pro
moted recently to the position of
assistant executive director.

Boat Hits Power Lines.
Holds up Bridge Traffic
A sailboat ran into the power
lines on the north side of the
Beaufort drawbridge yesterday
afternoon at 1:30 and disrupted
the power flow on the Vleaufort
Morehead City causeway and in
Beaufort.
Because the draw was up when
the accident happened, highway
traffic was stopped until repairs
could be made. Repairs were
made in about an hour.
Dan Bell, bridge tender, said
the boat was proceeding south.
The blocking of highway traffic
was due to the power outtage
and not to necessity for further
bridge repair.
Parsonage Burns
At Ocracoke;
Families Suffer
By Mrs. Theodore Road thaler
Fire of undetermined origin
burned to the ground the parson
age of the Assembly of God Church
on Ocracoke Island Thursday
night, Nov. 4. No one was in the
home at the time, but the fire
caused a double loss in that two
families had all of their personal
belongings in the parsonage at the
time. The Rev. Ernest Powlesland
and family, the retiring pastor, and
the Rev. Walter Whitaker and
family, the incoming pastor, were
holding a joint meeting at the
church.
The Powleslands lost about a
-hundred dollars in cash, a new
electric sewing machine, his fam
ily Bible, one of which had been
brought from England years ago,
and all of his sermons of many
years. y
Tiie wnitaners, * young married
couple, also lout about a hundred
dollara. their sterling silver, and
all of her wedding gifts, as well as
personal belongings. The fire had
sained such headway when it wag
discovered that only one suitcase.
ontaining books, could be pulled
from the front room through the
door.
With no fire protection, other
than the apparatus of the local
Coast Guard unit, consisting of a
pump and hose, it was only through
the efforts of a quickly formed
bucket brigade that the Sunday
School and church, adjacent to the
parsonage, was saved. The parson
age was a complete loss. It was
insured for $2,000 and the congre
gation plans to rebuild it as soon
as possible.
In the meantime, the Rev. Mr.
Powlesland has left for his new
pastorate and the Rev. Mr. Whita
ker and family are living at the
home of Mrs. Zion Foster. Through
the well-known friendliness and
generosity of Ocracokers, a purse
as well as personal clothing items
were given to. both families.
The Rev. and Mrs. Whitaker,
who began their work here this
Sunday, have one child, Deborah,
age 2. Mrs. Whitaker is a native
of Lewiston, N. C? Mr. Whitaker
of Indiana. He received his train
ing at Southeastern Bible Institute,
Lakeland, Fla. He held a pastorate
at Portsmouth, Va., but comes to
Ocracoke Asaembly of God Church
directly from evangelistic work in
Indiana, Florida, and North Caro

of stealing 12 boxes of salted fish
from Monroe Taylor's fish house.

fort Recorder's Court bi the af
ternoon on a. charge of drunken
driving.
Judge Lambert Morris ordered

"damage, according to figures com
piled by fisheries inspectors and
personnel who have been working
under Commissioner Holland.
Small boats were damaged by
pounding waves, nets were carried
away, and docks and fish houses
damaged. Fishermen south of Car
teret sustained the heaviest loss.
They were located in the area
closer to the center of the hurri
cane.
Attempts are being made to get
fishermen back into business just
as soon as possible. The Small
Business Administration has set
up a loan office on the second
floor of the courthouse annex and
a large part of the loans made thus
far have been to fishermen for re
placement of nets and repair of
boats.
The loans are made at a low rate
of interest and on time teiyns con
venient to the borrower. By yester
day $68,025 in loans had been ap
proved.
A- H. Graham, manager of the
loan office, urges fishermen or
any other businessman needing as
sistance to apply for a loan imme
diately. After the office closes in
Beaufort, applications will have to
be made through the office at
Richmond, Va.
Mr. Graham said the office will
continue to receive applications un
til Wednesday. If anyone wishes
to file after that day, he should
contact Mr. Graham to find out
what procedure to follow.
Fishermen and fish dealers en
gaged in beach hauling on the
banks suffered almost a total loss
of nets and boats. The oyster in- l
dustry was hard hit, many of the
beds being covered witli sand.
The state is undertaking a pro- i
gram to rehabilitate tke beds and |
has started an intensive patrol sys
tem to prevent taking of oysters ;
under-size or overworking of the
undamaged beds. ,

Newport Town Board Okays
Fire Extinguisher Purchase
Newport's town board, in session <
Tuesday night at the town hall,
voted to give the fire department
$124 for the purchase of a gas
fire extinguisher.
Leon Mann Jr., fire chief, told
the board that they had set up the
money in their budget for such a
purchase. He explained that the
extinguisher sprayed a chemical
powder and extinguished gas and
oil fires easily. He pointed out
that the town needed at least one
because so many gas tankers
came through Newport.
The board's vote was unanimous.
Lieutenant Edwards appeared
before the board and reminded
them that they were supposed to
have a report ready at that time on
the paving of New Bern StreeL
Commissioner D. Ira Garner,
presiding as mayor pro-tern, told
Lieutenant Edwards that since
Mayor Hibbs and Attorney George
Ball were absent, the board, could
not pass on the project.
He said the money for the pav
ing probably would come out of
the Powell Bill fund. The cost
of paving New Bern Street was
estimated at $2,400.
Lt. Edwards also asked if the
garbage collection schedule could
be revised. He said it was picked
up on Wednesday and Friday and
it was a long time from Friday to
Wednesday.
Bill Dugee, street superintend
ant, said he had to go to court on
Tuesdays and couldn't possibly
pick the garbage up then.
Mr. Dugee also told the board
that people were not putting their
garbage in proper containers. The
board instructed him not to pick
it up unless the garbage was placed
in the type of container i pacified
by the town.
The board decided to mimeo
graph copies of the town ordinance
pertaining to garbage . containers
and distribute them Jo the ciU
tens
Miss Edith Lockey, town clerk,
read the bills for the month and
the board approved them.
She said that the town has $1,800
in the bank and reminded the ,
board that the largest collection
months were over.
Mr. Dugee asked the board about
his vacation and was told that he
was entitled 10 days with pay
