Morehead Board Considers Bill
To Allow Referendum on Schools
The More head City Town Board
hu suggested that a bill be intro
duced in the legislature which
would enable the town to call a
referendum on establishing More
head City or Morehead Township
ai a school district separate and
apart from the county system.
The commissioners said Thurs
day night that the bill, if intro
duced would merely give the town
the privilege ol putting Much a pro
pawl before the people. 1( the
township area beyond the limit* of
More head City voted against the
meaiure and the city lUelf in favor
of it. the bill would allow More
head City'i functioning aa a sepa
rate school district, according to
Mayor George Dill.
Such a move would require ad-'
ditional tax revenue, but Mayor
Dill pointed out that In view of a
revaluation oi county property and
the attendant tax reduction, lurh
might possibly be approved by the
people.
He aaid that in addition to' the
town'* school tax income, the town
would get its proportionate ihare
of state funda due tbe schools.

?"If ?ny dub aerve mp. him will aw Father honor.** .
By EUtiKNE I AKaON BLAXL
President, National Council
of Churches
Some people really think that
God loves Americans and nobody
else. Do you?
One day on the last week of
Jesus' life, some Greek people,
foreigners, wanted to talk to Him
There was a big crowd around and
they had a hard time getting near
enough finally to hear him say,
? II any one serves Me, he must
follow Me; and where I am, there
shall My servant be -also; if any
one serves Me, the Father will
honor him."
Twice He says to you and me:
any one." There are no dis
tinctions of race or class or nation
in Jesus' kingdom. The new aris
tocracy of God's house which you
may join requires you to follow
Jesus who chose to be a servant.
To Blow or Not to Blow,
That Was the Question
To blow or not to blow the siren
on the Morehead City fire engine
on the return from a fire was a
major issue at the Morehead City
Town Board meeting Thursday
night. ?
Fire Chief Vernon Guthrie told
the board he wanted to find out
about speed limits for fire en
gines, whether they should stop
at red lights and stop signs and
asked, "What are we going to blow
if we can't blow our sirens on the
way back from the fire? An en
gine has no horn!"
The matter arose when a state
highway patrolman told a fire en
gine driver one day last week
that he couldn't blow his siren if
he was headed back to the station
? that's what the fire chief told
the board.
After lengthy argument, voicing
of personal opinion and the may
or's suggestion that the fire en
gines be equipped with boat horns,
the town attorney, George McNeill
said speed limits don't apply to
fire engines or policemen answer
ing a call.
He further quoted from statute
which permits a fire engine to
blow its rfiren "while in the per
formance of duty.'' In his opinion,
he said firemen on a call were per
forming their duty until they got
back to the fire station and were
ready to answer another call.
He added that they should stop
at lights and stop signs on the way
home from a fire.
Mayor George Dill tild the chief
that firemen could blow their si
rens, "insofar as reason demands,"
until a ruUag wa? obtained to the
contrary
Meeting Attended
Carteret Farm Bureau members
attended an area meeting at the
courthouse in New Bern last night.
Among them were Robert Laugh
ton and C. N. Stroud, Morehead
City; Floyd Garner, Newport; H.
M Williams, county agent, and A1
