44th YEAR, NO. 45. TWO SECTIONS TWELVE PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT. NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1955 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAY*
Board Votes to Re-Zone Lots,
Seeks Aid on Summer Traffic
By a 3 to 2 vote the More-'
head City Town Board
Thursday night approved the
re-zoning of the Presbyterian
Church property at 24th
Street for business use. It had
been zoned residential.
The commissioners voted by se
cret ballot because opinion on the
nutter was divided and feeling
among commissioners was strong
both for and against.
The vote followed a hearing in
the town court room. Thirty per
sons attended. The case for the
church was presented by Robert B.
Howard, chairman of the church's
property committee. He said that
at a similar hearing more than a
year ago. feeling ran high and per
sonalities were discussed rather
than the issue at hand. To avoid
a repetition, he asked that the
Presbyterian pastor, the Rev. Al
bert Harris Jr., lead the group in
prayer.
Reads Letter
Prior to the prayer, George Mc
Neill, town attorney, read a letter
from the zoning board of adjust
ment. The letter recommended
ihat the property in question, lots
1, 2 and 3 in block 170, be re-zoned
for business. The property is lo
cated on the northwest corner of
24th and Arendell Street. Twenty
fourth Street leads to Atlantic
Beach and Arendell Street is High
way 70.
Just west of the church are two
residential properties. Mr. Howard
said that signatures of the persons
living there had been obtained, the
signatures signifying that they
were not opposed to re-zoning.
He read from the zoning ordi
nance a portion stating that if the
zoning board approved a change,
a public hearing was unnecessary
unless a certain percentage of per
sons affected objected. He said
that the majority of people af
fected by the change were not op
posed and therefore a hearing was
unnecessary.
"But the churcii agreed with the
town board that since there was a
hearing on this matter 14 months
ago, there should be another," Mr.
Howard said. He remarked that
he did not feel the request was
something to be granted as a spe
cial favor to a church, but that the
change prpoosed was "good zon
ing practice."
Nine far Business
Of the 1# lots in block 170, nine,
he continued, were zoned for busi
ness. Of the others, two were va
cant and the church owned them
in addition to the three on which
their buildings stand.
Since the church had purchased
property on Arendell Street for a
new church, he said that there
would be little money left to keep
the old buildings in repair if they
and the property couldn't be sold.
Neither could the building program
move forward unless substantial
revenue were obtainable from the
present property, the town officials
were told.

Judge Discusses
Arab-Jew Issue
At Rotary Club
Judge Luther Hamilton, who has
recently visited the Holy Land,
was the speaker at the weekly meet
ing of the Morehead City Rotary
Club Thursday night.
Judge Hamilton, introduced by
Alvah Hamilton of the Internation
al Service Committee, spoke on the
significance of the Jew-Arab con
troversy.
He told of the partitioning of
the Holy Land by the UN and how
the rights of both Were defined
at that time. Since the partition
ing of Israel the Jew has with
stood one major assault by the
Arab and in so doing extended
his lines of possession. Apparent
ly the Arab at present is biding
his time, awaiting the opportune
moment to commence another en
gagement, the speaker said.
The historical facts and back
ground incident to the land claims
of these two peoples were re
viewed. The Jew through the cen
turies, said Judge Hamilton, has
nurtured the hope that he would
be repatriated in the land which
had been given to his father Abra
ham and his heirs.
The Arab contends that he like
wise descended from Abraham,
and that the area in dispute has
been under his control and in his
possession most of the time since
1300, which strengthens and fur
ther supports his claim.
Judge Hamilton spoke of the
differences in Jew-Arab political
and economic thinking today. The
Jew in the old country today is
energetic and hard working. The
government is headed by a' presi
dent and unicameral legislative
body of 120 members, of whom 10
are Arabs. The rebuilding of the
new Jerusalem has embodied mo
dern ideas in commercial as well
as home developments.
Farming activities employ
innovations in planting, harvefting
and irrigation of the land. Utfjor
relations between these factrofis
are good, the judge said. The pre
sent day Jew sponsoring this move
ment has been trained and educat
ed in the democratic countries of
the world and is incorporating
principles learned.
The Arab, on the other hand, is
still existing in a manner com
parable to that of centuries past,
according to Judge Hamilton. The
standard of living has improved
but little and the working man
gets a relatively small pittance for
his day's labor. Industrial and com
mercial expansion has been minor.
Visiting Rotarians were G. P.
Midyette, Oriental, and Dan ?ns
linger Sr., Germantown, Ohio. Ano
ther guest was Lt. Harry Grun
wald Jr., USMC, Cherry Point
' After the zoning matter was set
tled Thursday night by the More
head City town board, the town at
torney, George McNeill, was re
quested to write Ed Scheidt, motor
vehicles commissioner, and ask for
highway patrol help to handle Sun
day beach traffic in Morehead City.
Police Commissioner Ted Garner
said that on weekends and holidays
two patrolmen arc required on
24th Street (the beach highway) in
the summer.
Attorney McNeill read a revised
portion of the ordinance relating
to the cemetery It was approved.
The ordinance corrects a discrepan
cy in the sale price of plots and
gives the sexton authority to trim
any shrubbery or growing thing in
the cemetery, should trimming be
necessary.
Buildings Commissioner Jasper
Bell requested $100 to build a shel
ter for fire hose. The board ap
proved the $100, to be in the 1955
56 budget, if the shelter and racks
do not exceed $100.
The mayor reported on his ap
pearance before the Rivers and
Harbors Congress in Washington
the first of June.
Attending the meeting, in addi
tion to those mentioned, were Com
missioners D. J. Hall, S. C. Hollo
way, Gibbie Sanderson and Clerk
John Lashley. \

Parents to Visit
At Clinic Friday
Friday will be Parent's Day at
the speech clinic in the Morehead
City Recreation Building. Thirty
five students are enrolled in the
classes which began May 30 and
end Friday. Their ages range from
714.
The clinic is sponsored in co
operation wtih the North Carolina
Society for Crippled Children. Fred
Lewis, Morehead City, is director.
Other teachers are Mrs. Ben Ar
rington, Beaufort; Ralph Wade,
Mrs. Bob Williams. Miss Gertrude
Styron, Mrs. John W. Willis and
Mrs. Lucille A. Smith, all of More
head City.
Mr. Lewis commented that the
major difficulty with the pupils'
speech is that they either omit
sounds or substitute wrong sounds.
For example the children may
make a "th" sound like an "f' or
"d," and then they have difficulty
when it comes to saying an entire
word, usually leaving out the end
ing, as in "greeting," and many
others.
These two impediments are
what the teachers are working on
at present.
Children needing speech correc
tion are noted before achool closes
in the spring. Their parenta are
then invited to send them to the
clinic. No charge ia made for the
two-week session.

Two Younij Men Work to Free
Ketch from Lookout Beach
The Canadian ketch, Nola Ser
gent, which went aground near
Cape Lookout in April, is not being
life to bleach in the sands. Tun
young men. working for the Ca
nipes of Havelock, are refloating
it. They are Kenneth Skinr?r,
Newport, and Buddy Lutz, Have
lock.
The ketch ran aground In rough
weather Sunday. April 24. It waa
enroute from Miami to Quebec, the
home of her owner-captain, N. E.
Sergent. Sergent and two others
aboard were rescued by the Coast
Guard.
Insurance Paid
Attempts to salvage the vessel
were made, but the owner gave up
and his insurance company paid
him 110,000. The insurance firm
then turned the Job over to the
Canipes who salvaged the Hon
duran freighter. Omra Babun, laat
July. The freighter was aground
at Rodanthe.
Old seafarers said the Honduran
freighter could not be refloated,
but they did it. Skinner aaid that
boat salvaging is a hobby with the
Canipes.
If the ketch is refloated ? and
Skinner and Lutz say it will be in
about four or five days ? the craft
witt belong to the salvagers. They
value it at $44,000. Their estimate
on putting it back in first class
?ondition is a couple thousand
dollars.
The ketch is 46 feet long. Skin
ner and Lutz have been using an
Army duck to get the Sergent off.
Her keel was imbedded in sand
but the bow was headed seaward.
Putting anchors off shore and using
a block and All, the salvagers put
lines on the Sergent. fastened them
to the offshore tackle and ran
them back to land to the duck.
Pulling landward with the duck
on high tides, they have been edg
ing the Sergent toward deep water.
As of Friday she was floating on
high tide.
Skinner and Lutz have been
working on the job more than a
month. They came into More head
City Friday for the first time in
two weeks.
The three Canipes. Worth W? E.
A. and Mack E., originally from
Cleveland County, came to Have
lock about 10 years ago and now
operate the Canipe Buick Co. at
Havelock.
The salvagers plan to use the
ketch as a pleasure yacht. Ser
gent. the hapless owner, visited
with the two boys last week as they
were on the job. Most of the fit
-tings ana lurnisnings aie mui
aboard the ketch.
Before the Canipes started their
work, a few beach scavengers help
ed themselves to movable proper
ties on her, but for the most part,
she's intact.
It looks as though the Nola Ser
gent will be another craft snatched
from the graveyard of ttie Atlan
tic. Skinner and Lutz plan to bring
her into Morehead City as soon a>
she's afloat.

At 10 a.m. tomorrow in the Goldshoro High School audi
torium the long-awaited hearing will start on Southern's
acquiHition of the Atlantic and East Carolina lease.
A large delegation of Morehead City citizens is being
sought to show that Morehead City is 100 per cent in favor
of the change.
Mayor George W. Dill said that each civic organization
will be represented. Members of1
(he org.M izations are asked to con
tact their president and gite him
their names.
"It is most important that those
who go are listed. But it won't
do any good to go up there with a
list of names." the mayor said,
"and when the names are called,
nobody show to back them up."
Individuals planning to go on
their own should give their names
to Dr. John Morris. 6-4437.
Just be There
It will not be necessary for any
member of the delegation to say
anything. All that is required is
that people be there. Spokesmen
for the delegations will do the
talking.
Mayor Dill said that as delega
tions are formally recognized,
members of the delegations may
leave. It is not necessary that they
stay through the entire hearing,
which may last several days.
Ted Davis, manager of the cham
her of commerce, made a special
request yesterday that as many
citizens as passible go to the hear
ing. He said that even though a
person's name is on a civic club
list, it may be placed also on the
list being compiled by the cham
ber of commerce.
If Transportation Needed
Persons who would like to go
but do not have transportation
should contact the chamber office,
6-3404, and transportation will be
provided.
"On this hearing will hang the
decision of the ICC as to whether
Southern will be allowed to come in
and help this area develop as it
should civic-wise and commercial
ly," Mf. Davis said.
Conducting the hearing are offi
cials of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. In addition to a dele
gation from Morehead City, persons
from other cities through which the
A&EC line passes, will attend the
hearing.
Opposition to Southern's opera*
tion of the railroad is expected
from the Atlantic Coast Line which
serves Wilmington and other inter
ests at Wilmington.
The proposed change in railroad
operators has been under negotia
tion for more than a year. South
ern's acquisition of the line would
make possible better service to the
Morehead City port, town and ports
officials point out, and would hold'
promise of extensive development
throughout all eastern North Caro
lina.
If the ICC approves acquisition
of the A&EC, the Southern will
also take over operation of the Ma
rine railroad between Lejeune and
Cherry Point.
Board Hears
Five Requests
For Road Repair
Five road requests were present
ed to the county board at the court
house yesterday morning.
All were referred to Moses How
ard, highway commissioner, or to
division highway officials for ap
proval.
Two requests came from the Ce
dar Point area, one for paving Hill
Street and the other for paving Bell
Street.
Hill Street is a thousand feet
long with 15 houses on it. Mayor
M. N. Lisk appeared with Mr. Guth
rie of Guthrie's Beach to request
paving of Bell Street which leads
from Highway 24 in the Johnny
Jones subdivision to the beach.
The road, 2,173 feet long, was
taken over by the state two years
ago, and has 15 homes on it. The
board approved the request pend
ing the filing of a petition on it.
To request placement of another
road on the county system, three
petitioners were present, Ortho G.
Duke, J. Murphy Smith, and J. A.
Meadows. Mr. Duke lives on the
road, which leads to the camp of
the Albemarle Presbytery, and the
other two men are New Bern resi
dents.
The road leaves Highway 24 and
loops, joining with the Hibbs Road.
Part of it is already on the btate
system. The petitioners want all of
it put on the system and kept in
good repair.
Bill McLean, Emerald Isle, re
quested that a portion of the nine
miles paved there by the develojv
ers, he put on the county uynf m.
Mr. Mclean said that the cost of
paving ran to $80,000. The board
agreed to turn the request over
to the highway department.
Mr. Howard said that he expected
a delegation from Mansfield Park
relative to paving 1.3 miles of road
with 43 homes on it, but the delega
tion didn't show up.
J. L. Humphrey, county road su<
perintendent, said that the ap
proaches to the Cedar Island bridge
would soon be completed and said
that roads paved down east several
years ago would be re-surfaced
soon. Rock has already been stock
piled for the job at two places.
E. M. Foreman, county forest
ranger, presented his budget re
quest for 1955-56. The county's por
; tion is $2,600.

Farmers Start
Potato Harvest
County farmers started harvest
ing irish potatoes the first of last
week but had difficulty in finding
a market for them. Price was
around $2.90 per hundred pound
bags for U. S. No. l'l.
R. M. Williams, county farm
agent, said that thia year approxi
mately 75 per cent of the potato
acreage in the county is the Canao
variety.
The Canso is resistant to late
blight potato disease, has a smooth
skin and "somewhat better appear
ance than the cobbler." Mr. Wil
liams remarked. It is, however, ?
bit later in maturing.
Commercial cabbage harvest Is
over. Cabbage prices this year were
better than last.
