? Proceeds from the showing of the
motion picture, Fireman Save My
Child, starring Spike Jones, at the
East Drive-In Theatre tonight, will
all go to the Beaufort firemen to
help defray the cost of their newly
purchased resuscitator.
There will be short subjects
shown and door priies will be
awarded. Beaufort merchants have
contributed electrical appliance!,
certificates for groceries, lubrica
tion and wash jobs and many other
prices. People need not be present
at the movie to win. All they have
to do is buy a ticket for this show
ing. ?
Ticket* are still available from
any fireman, at Haywood Snell'i
Barber Shop Ann Street, and from
Bill Sutton at the Beaufort Thea
tre. On the firemen movie com
mittee are Frank Lewis, Earl
Lewis and Haywood Snell.
Cod of obtaining the movie and
running the special show will be
about <100, according to Chairman
Lewia. so a lot of tickets will have
to be sold to make a profit.
If a profit ian't made ao that the
firemen can pay off on a resuscita
tor which recently saved a man's
life at Harkers Island, the resusci
tator will go back to the company
from Milch it was recently pur
chased.
The company which aold it to
the firemen (coat $381) wants their
money pr the resuscitator back.
The life-saving device haa been
used twice. Once to try to revive
a youth who died of a heart attack
at Atlantic Beach ? it waa thought
at first that he had water in his
lungs ? and just recently to re
vive a man who had fallen from
a partyboat at Cape Lookout.
A couple hundred dollars have
already been raiaed according to
Gerald Woolard, secretary-treas
urer of the fire department. The
balance ia badly needed and your
contributions would help the fire
department keep the resuscitator.

Talk on Mao
Tse Tung Given
Al Rotary Club
Lt. Conrad Fink, USMC, Cherry
Point, was the featured speaker
at the Morehead City Rotary meet
ing Thursday night.
Lt. Fink, introduced by David
Murray, international service com
mittee. presented the topic, A His
torical Look: Mao Tse-Tung, Red
Ruler of China.
He reviewed the economic, so
cial and cultural aspects of China
during the past, and the lives of
several Chinese who had tended
to shape the course of the country
by their ideology.
According to Lt Fink Mao came
into the picture about 1915, when
he was in his early twenties. He
was born of peasant stock and
knew at first hand the economic
struggle of the peasant masses to
eke out a living.
In his rise to power he suffered
many reverses, Lt. Fink said, and
at one time had only 18,000 men
remaining of an original army com
posed of 190,000 men. At this point
he was probably at his lowest ebb.
As we all know today, Mao Tse
Tung is commander of an army
that numbers well up in the mil
lions and occupies a position of
strategic rule in China.
Visiting Rotarians included Ho
ward Watkins, Lillington; Benton
Arthur, Warsaw; Dr. David Farrior
and Gerald Hill, Beaufort; Ray
Phillips, Washington; Jim Flem
ing and Lawrence Stroud, Green
ville; Robert Wooten, Kinston, and

? Dr. Mike Brady presented the resolution of the More
head City Jaycees approving fluoridation of the local
water supply Thursday night to the town board of com
missioners.
Though the motion for approval was tabled until the
next meeting on July 21, the commissioners, as well as act
ing Mayor lea oarner, taxing me'
plaee of Mayor George Dill at the
meeting, all seemed to favor the
idea.
Dr. Brady told the commission
ers that fluoridation would be a
great boon in cutting down cavi
ties among children, though it
wouldn't help the adults.
All in Favor
He stated that there was no ques
tion whatsoever about its effective
ness or safety since it is being
highly favored by the Carteret
County Medical Society, the local
dentists, the State Medical Society,
the State Dental Society, the
American Medical Association, the
American Dental Association and
the United States Public Health
Service.
At the present time. Dr. Brady
said, there are 20 cities in North
Carolina that are using fluorida
tion of their water supply. He told
the commissioners tHat he had writ
ten to the city managers of High
Point, Winston-Salem, Rocky Mount
and Charlotte and each of these
men had replied that they were
highly in favor of the fluoridation
program that had been installed.
Dr Brady stated that there were
several towns in the state that have
more fluoride in their water than
is required for fluoridation. In
Morehead City the water supply
has .3 per cent fluoride and in or
der to reach the optimum level of
successful fluoridation the water
must have .7 per cent fluoride
added.
Cost Wolld be Low
The doctor said that the Caro
lina Water Company would take
care of the cost of apparatus and
equipment necessary to put the
fluoride into the Morehead City
water supply at a cost to users of
about one to two cents more per
month on their water bills.
Fluoridation will not affect the
taste or odor of the water, Dr.
Brady said, in answer to a query
by Commissioner D. J. Hall.
* The Rev. Norfh Brown of the
Free Will Baptist Church request
ed the board's permission to place
signs on Bridge Street from 8th
to 11th Streets, and at the inter
section of 9th and 10th Streets and
Arendell and Fisher Streets from
9 a.m. to 12 noon on Sunday morn
ings to keep motorists from using
these streets while church services
are going on.
Rev. Brown said that the noise
made by passing traffic made it
difficult for the parishioners of his
church and the others in this vicin
ity from hearing the goings-on in
church.
