State Officials
Approve Bypass
Highway from Pollocks
ville to Tfonton Backed
By. Larkins, Boll
Nicholas Walker, Beaufort, has
received assurance from John D.
Larkins, legislative counsel to the
governor, and from D. G. Bell. Car
teret legislator, that a bypass will
be const ructed from Highway 12,
south of PoUocksvilla, to Havelock.
Mr. Walter has been instrumen
tal in pushing the highway project.
Mr. Larkins. in a letter to Mr.
Walker, termed the bypass "almost
imperative" and said it will "no
doubt be completed some time in
the near future."
Mr. Bell said construction of the
highway, through the Croatan Na
tional Forest, will be a "big advan
tage both in relieving some conges
tion on Highway 70 and making
the distance shorter to Morehead
City and Beaufort from some sec
tions of the state."
It has been reported that the
state forestry division has decided
to invest $350,000 in drainage along
the road right-of-way because such
drainage would be beneficial to
timber growth.
Mr. Walker said the proposed by
pass ran into an obstacle recently
when the state was planning to
build a road from MaysviUe to
Croatan. Had the Maysville-Croatan
Road been built, the other project
probably would have been abandon
ed.
Mr. Walker said that through
correspondence and repeated
checking, the Pollocksville-Have
lock proposal was retrieved and put
on the schedule for construction.
The Pollocksville-Havelock Road
has been endorsed by the Carteret
Board of Commissioners, the
towns of Beaufort and Morehen**.
City and the Emeritus Club jf
Morehead City. Hundreds of per
sons have also signed petitions re
questing the road.
Hog Production
Rising Steadily
Almost two-thirds of the nation's
farms now depend on hogs for part
of their income, according to fig
ures cited by the American Foun
dation for Animal Health.
In the north central states, al
most three-fourths of the farms
raise some hogs while in Iowa the
percentage climbs to 85 per cent,
according to the foundation
Between 10 and 12 per cent of
the national farm income comes
from the sale of swine, the study
continues. More than 86 million
hogs were slaughtered during 1953
making an average of 67 to 70
pounds of pork for each person in
the nation. Pork also provided 50
per cent of the total meat con
sumed in the country, and swine
are the greatest single outlet for
farm-raised grains.
It was also noted by the founda
tion that* during the past five years
a larger percentage of hogs was
vaccinated against hog cholera than
in any previous year. In 1953. more
than 55 per cent of the total swine
production in the nation was vac
cinated, the foundation reports.
