James D. Potter, Beaufort, was'
appointed county civil detente di
rector at a meeting of the County
Board of Commissioners yesterday
at the1 courthouse, Beaufort.
The appointment was made fol
lowing the reading of a letter from
the civil defense chairman of the
Carteret Business and Professional
Women's Club, Mi#s Georgie
Hughes.
The club suggested that a county
civil defense director be appointed
and offered its cooperation to such
a director if he would be named.
The county has been without a
civil defense director for many
months.
Men named to the position pre
viously were unable, because of
other duties, to continue as direc
tor.
Before routine business was con
sidered, A. H. James, clerk of Su
perior Court, swore in the commis
sioners elected Nov. 2. They were
Dr. K. P. B. Bonner, Moses C.
Howard, Walter Ycomans and E.
H. Potter. Alvah Taylor, Sea Level,
was not present.
Dr. Bonner was re-elected chair
man of the board and Mr. Howard
vice-chairman. The chairman said
that he considered it a great honor
and a pleasure to serve as head of
the board. Dr. Bonner said he
would continue to serve the resi
dents of the county in the same
manner as he has in the past.
He added that he attributed the
many achievements the board has
made to the "harmonious action"
of the entire board.
James D. Potter, auditor, Eugene
0. Moore, tax collector, and Alvah
Hamilton, county attorney, were
reappointed to serve during the
term of the present board, four
years.
The auditor was given the au
thority to supervise and hire or
fire courthouse custodians. Present
cAodians are John Johnson and
Robert Mades.
The board went on record re
questing that (11 county offices stay
open, during regular working days,
from B a.m. to 4:30 p.m. In rare
instances, Mr. Moore said, the tax
collecting office may have to be
closed over the noon hour, but
otherwise the board felt that office
should be the. only exception.
Miss Hughes and Stanley Woo4
laod, chairman of the County We?
fare Board, requested the county
for funds tq renovate a part of the
secor J floor of the courthouse an
nex for use as welfare working
space.
Plans for complete renovation
were presented by Gray Hassell,
engineer. He estimated the cost
would be $8,000. Sheriff Hugh Sal
ter appeared and said that he felt
no expenditure should be made of
that type until a new jail is built.
The county authorised that *300
be given the welfare department
for renovation that would amount
to *1.000, if other federal fundi
could be obtained to makeup the
$1,000.
Jack Lewis and J. G. Bennett
Jr. of the Commercial National
Bank, Morehead City, requested
that the board authoriie their bank
as a depository for county funds.
-The board agreed to take the mat
ter under consideration.
The board went on record au
thorizing the age of each tax lister
to be taken at the coming listing.
Prior to this time the age of women
and the age of men over 50 was not
required but now such records
stand as proof of age which will
enable residents to establish eligi
bility for social security payments.
The board discussed improve
ments to county buildings which
must be made during the next four
years and the inequality of assess
ed valuations listed on tax books.
No action was taken.

Thoroughfare between Atlantic
and Cedar Island opened to all
traffic I ait Tuesday.
The bridge, built at a coat of
S16Z.0M hy the atate, replaces

this is done and the timber bents
strengthened, the "bridge will be
in satisfactory condition for legal
loads and the load restriction will
be removed," Mr. Gunter said.
Bad weather this w^ek may set
the removing of the load limit
later than the 10th. But Mr. Gunter
says the state highway crews "arc
exerting every reasonable effort to
complete repairs so that the load
restriction can be removed at the
earliest possible time."

School Official
Hails S-D Day
Raleigh ? "S-D Day" ? '"Safe
Driving Day" ? was hailed today
by Charles F. Carroll, state super
intendent of public instruction, as
"a real opportunity for our achoola
to show that youth can contribute
to community traffic safety."
"S-D Day" is Wednesday, Dec.
15. It is sponsored by the Presi
dent's Action Committee for Traf
fic Safety in cooperation with all
public officials and various na
tional organizations interested in
traffic accident prevention, as a
demonstration that traffic accidents
can be eliminsted if people in
every community are willing to
make the effort.
Mr. Carroll said: "We believe
that our children do a pretty good
job as pedestrisns. especially fin
their way to and* from school each
day Most teachers devote time to
the traffic safety problem, and
help children develop safe prac
tices for walking and riding bicy
cles. ?
"Many of our schools have had
safety patrols for yean, and patrol
experience is sn Important factor
in helping thousands of younpters
sppreciate the dangers of today's
traffic. Our school bus drivers,
too, have an enviable record, but
are always alert to improve it atill
further.
"Through driver education pro
grams in many of the high schools,
more and more of our young people
are learning how to operate cars
safely and courteously. They, too,
have a real opportunity to see that
the goal of the December 15th S-D
Day is schieved in their communi
ties.
"I commend S-D Day to all school
officials in North Carolina and
urge them to support it with ap
propriate educational activities.
The values of well planned activi
ties in the schools will extend far
beyond the 24 hours of S-D Day,
and will help our state to conserve
its richest source ? our children
sod youth."

' Old Man Winter threw
everything in the book at the
county yesterday. Soon after
midnight hard rains, pushed
by gusty north winds, came
pouring down. Early yester
day morning, the rain turned
to sleet and the wind picked
up momentum, blowing at 35
miles an hour.
Later in the morning the sleet
turned to "hominy snow." E.
Stamcy Davis, county weather ob
server, said the snow was the re
sult of rain falling through a cold
strata close to the earth.
Freezing temperatures were re
ported throughout
the rest of the *
state, with snow /
along the coast S
and in the moun- /
tains. The weather \
forecast was for
clearer skies last j
nignt. v? "^0| .
Motorists were Sle*?
hesitant .bout taking cars out all
day vesterday and the State High
way Patrol urged drivers who had
to be on the streets and highways
to proceed with caution.
Because of the bad weather,
Newport Rotary Club and several
church groups cancelled their
scheduled meetings. Certain tele
phone lines were out of order and
schools dismissed early so busses
could get the rural children home
before road conditions got worse.
Saturday and Sunday were like
June days. "You might have known
it couldn't last," folks remarked
ruefully yesterday. The tempera
ture hit a high of 85 Sunday, but
fell fast when Sunday nights rain
came.
The sleet and snow lay about an
inch deep at noon yesterday, giv
ing the county an appropriate look
for the Yuletlde season.
