a female, was still available yes
terday, but Mr. Davies said he
had several calls for her and she
would undoubtedly be in a new
home soon.
Mr. Davies expected young
sters to turn up for the pups,
but strangely enough, all the call
ers were "children over 21."
He added that he was gratified
with the speed with which the
classified ad moved his "live
stock."

Highway Chairman Graham ex
plained that "final construction
costs will vary due to variatioa in
final quantltiea and bid prices as
well as to fluctuations in right of
way .costs."
He said, "Our experience has
also indicated thft due to local
conditions aid inability to secure
right of .way expeditiously, it is
necesssry to pUm more work than

progress ?( construction will also
materially affect our ability to
place all of the proposed work un

In addition to the problem o i s e
curing right of way, all the work

?that the oflice there would be sub
ject to too many political cross
currents. Charlotte has been men
tioned as the center o( a major in
duatrial area but has also been call
ed too far removed from both the
capital and the coast. Greensboro
is suggested on the basis of the fact
that it is located in an industrial
area and is also a focal point for
rail shipment of. materials to the
ports.
It was reported yesterday that
Chairman Edwin Pate of the State
Ports Authority would visit in
Morehead City next Thursday with
several other members of the au
thority to look into the matter.
Separation of the two ports has
also been talked. It is believed by
elements in both Wilmington and
Morehead City that the two ports
could operate to better advantage if
they were run as "separate busi
nesses" rather than under one ex
ecutive director.
Each port would continue to have
a manager and the State Ports Au
thority would continue to have
jurisdiction over the entire state
ports program. It is believed, how
ever, that to unflertake a shake-up
to that extent, an enabling act
would have to be passed by the
legislature.
At the present time, the primary
aim is to change the state ports
office site, in the belief that such
would be advantageous to both port
cities.

Funeral to Take

Funeral services for Simon A.
Leshner. 51, Atlanta. Ga.. who was
found dead in his car west of At
lantic Beach at 6:30 Wednesday
morning, will be conducted at 3
o'clock this afternoon at the Dill
Funeral Home, Morehead City.
Burial will be in Bay View Ceme
tery.
Coroner Leslie D. Springle said
that Mr. Leshner was the victim of
carbon monoxide poisoning and
had apparently taken his life by
attaching a hose to the exhaust
pipe of his car and piping the
fumes into the rear seat where he
was found dead.
Mr. Leshner, a salesman, was
discovered by Carey Wilson of
route 1 Beaufort, driver of a milk
truck. He called Constable George
Smith who notified Sheriff Hugh
Salter and Coroner Springle.
The deceased was married to the
former Martha Willis, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Martin L. Willis of
Morehead City. He was formerly
employed by the Morehead City
Garment Co. and later started his
own factory in Virginia. After
leaving there he went to South
Carolina and was with a firm at
Atlanta at the time of his death.
He and his wife had spent the
past two weeks at a motel at Atlan
tic Beach. Coroner Springle said
that Mr. Leshner got up at 3:30
Wednesday morning, presumably
to make a trip to Kinston. His
body was found three hours later.
A check for $1,135 made out to
