ting their second polio shot before school closes.

Government health authorities are still maintaining
their attitude of caution following reports of polio cases
among children who received the Salk vaccine.
Specialists conferred in Washington yesterday with
experts who have inspected the manufacturing and test
ing processes of vaccine producers.
From Jan. 1 last year to May 15, 1954, there were
2,271 polio cases reported in the United States. For the
same period this year there have been 1,786.
Mrs. Leota Hammer, public health nurse, said that as
soon as the vaccination program is renewed, children
who should get their second shot will be inoculated by
nurses traveling throughout the county,

t Carteret is experiencing a house-building fever. It might
even be called a boom. In addition to eight formal build
ing developments, scores of new homes are springing up
everywhere from Cedar Island to Swansboro.
The newest of the building developments is west of 20th
Street in Morehead City where the Goodwin Developing
Co., under the supervision of Bruce*
Goodwin of Morehead City, is put
ting up 17 homes.
The financing is being done
through the Federal Housing Ad
ministration. Seven of the homes
are in process of construction and
have already been sold. Ten more
are scheduled for occupancy by
fall and several of those have been
sold.
This development, located in
what is known as the Huntley sub
division, section A, puts on the
map a new street, Yaupon Terrace,
running parallel to 20th Street
(Crab Point Road). It also involves
extension of another street, Erne
line Place, which runs west from
20th.
The development is within More
head City town limits. Homes range
from $8,850 upward, the cost being
distributed over a monthly "rental"
pay-plan.
Huntley-Prest Development
This section was originally open
ed several years ago by George W.
Huntley, Beaufort, and Kenneth W.
Prest, Morehead City. The Hunt
ley-Prest Realty Co. constructed
and sold 16 homes north of Calico
Creek on each side of 20th.
A large area east of 20th is now
being opened. Three new homes
near the intersection of Calico
Drive and 20th Street have been
sold. Calico Drive runs eastward,
parallel to Calico Creek.
Two new homes are now being
built by the realty company which
will also sell lots if the buyer will
present plans showing what type
of home he intends to build. This
is to protect homeowners, already
located there, from having some
one put together a heap of blocks
and some tar paper and call it a
residence.
Mr. Prest terms the section "a
restricted homes development
area." At this time of year, there
is always a demand for homes for
sale as well as homes for rental.
