Mor?heod City
ScheduUs Hearing
A hearing on street re-routing
in Morehead City has been sche
duled for 7:10 Wednesday night,
Aug. 3, at the Morehead City Mu
nicipal Building.
The town proposes U> connect
Guthrie Drive in the Vernon
Guthrie subdivision with leaner
Avenue instead of Arendell Street.
Town commissioners believe that
Re routing will be in the public in
terest and that the chance ?U1
work no hardship on properly own
er* in the area.
Persona who wish to comment
in favor of or against the pro
posal should ?Uaodlbf Marias
for 10 teachers to complete*
1, county superintendent of
ted list as of Tuesday, were
ch teacher at Atlantic; home
ner, Smyrna ; seventh grade
teacher, Markers Island; public
school music and two sixth grade
teachers at Morehead City; Eng
lish-science and sixth grade teach
er at Newport; and one science
combination teacher . at Queen
Street, Beaufort.
The public scliool music teacher
needed at Morehead City is in ad
dition to Ralph Wade, who teaches
music there.
At the recent County Board of
Education meeting approval was
given plans to remodel the teach
erage at Newport into apartments.
Remodeling costs are estimated at
$6,000
In addition to five apartments,
three rooms will be available, but
Mr. Joslyn said the building won't
be operated as a teachers' room
ing house any more. Teachers will
have first opportunity to rent the
apartments and rooms, but if they
don't want them, then they will
be made available to the public.
Rilling Changed
The board changed a ruling
made several months ago. Children
living between 22nd and 24th
streets in Morehead City will go
to Morehead City School this fall.
With addition of rooms now being
built at Camp Glenn, it was hoped
that those children could be ac
commodated at Camp Glenn, but
such will not be possible.
Therefore only children living
on the west side of 24th street
and westward will go to the Camp
Glenn School in the fall, as they
did last year.
Mr. Joslyn said two additional
classrooms will .WtVe to be found
somewti'ef? - again 'this year for
Morehead City children either at
the recreation building or at a
church.
The board asked that Craven
County be informed that children
living in Craven County, who at
tended school in Beaufort in the
past, are welcome to come again
this year. Mr. Joslyn estimated
that there are approximately 150
white and Negro children from
Craven who attend Carteret
schools.
Ramp to be Built
At Smyrna a ramp will be built
from the gymnasium to the older
part of the school building, the
ramp flanking out from each side
to the grounds.
Exercising the authority given
county boards of education in the
last legislature, the board directed
that children this year attend
school in the same districts as last
year, except those who went to
North River and Merrimon Schools.
When the addition to the Queen
Street School in Beaufort is com
pleted, those children will be as
signed to Queen Street.
Relative to the attendance
wrangle in the western part of
the county, the Carteret board has
assigned children of the Stella sec
tion to schools in Jones County,
at Maysville and Trenton. Carteret
has also agreed to accept at the
Stella School Jones County Negro
grade children who live within a
mile and a half of the Stella
School.
Some parents in the Stella sec
tion object to their children going
to Jones County and recently car
ried to the State Supreme Court
their contention that their chil
dren should go to White Oak
School in Onslow County.
Coort Lacked Authority
The Supreme Court ruled that
since the last legislature put as
signment of pupils within juris
diction of local boards, it had no
authority to act on the iasue.
The county board has accepted
an insurance company's proposal
to provide coverage for children
throughout the school year. Cost
of the policy per child is $1.90, a
25-cent increase from last year.
Mr. Joslyn said, however, that
4he policy this year provides ad
ditional benefits, including an ac
cidental death payment of $yS00
and maximum medical benefits of
*2,300.

Lightning Hits
Russells Creek
Lightning struck the home of
B. H. Russell, Russells Creek,
Wednesday during a heavy rain
storm and caused extensive dam
age.
According to reports, the
lightning evidently hit the roof
of the house, went into a bed
room, through an iron bedstead,
knocked a hole in the ceiling of
the first floor and threw some
bottles off a dresser on the first
floor.
Mr. Russell was in his living
room reading at the time, but
was not hurt. For some reason,
the Russells Creek section us
ually suffers lightning damage
in heavy electrical storms. The
electric pump at the Russells
Creek home of Mr. Russell's son,
Robert, was put out of commis
sion during the past year be
cause of lightning.
On Wednesday the water
pump and switch on the farm
of Leslie D. Springle was also
hit by lightning. Damage was
estimated at $50.
Coroner Leslie D. Springle has
impaneled six men to serve on the
jury at the Elvin Gaskill inquest
tonigTIt. They are C. G. Gaskill,
Paul Jones, Frank Heslep, Gleit
Harris, E. W. Downum, and Elmore
Davis, all of Beaufort.
The inquest will start at 8 p.m.
at the courthouse.
Principal witnesses, Coroner
Springle said, will be State High
way Patrolman R. H. Brown who
investigated the accident .n which
Gaskill was killed, and >Sheriff
Hugh Salter. Also expected to tes
tify is Jesse Graham, route 2 New
port, who saw the accident.
Driving the car which ran into
Gaskill and killed him last Friday
at Stacy was John Russell Zim
merman, of Stacy and Florida, who
is being held in the jail at New
Bern. James Taylor, who was rid
ing with Zimmerman, was re
leased this week under $1,000
bond.
The accident occrured as Zim
merman was proceeding east on
Highway 70. He ran off the shoul
der of the road and struck Gaskill
who was behind a parked car at
Ralph Pittman's store.
Zimmerman has been booked on
driving drunk and speeding and
Taylor is charged with leaving the
scene of the accident.

the state motor vehicle laws, he
stated.
The officers plan to meet each
week for several weeks. The next

Lightning Causes
Power Failure
ThU entire area was without
power for 23. minutes Tuesday
afternoon. According to George
Stovall, manager of Carolina Power
and Light Co. here, there was a
flashover in the Jacksonville sub
station which tore the Carteret and
Craven area loose from sources of
power at both Lumberton and Wil
mington. The power was off from
3:40 p.m. to 4:03 p.m.
The failure was due to lightning
upstate. The dispatcher at Camp
Lejeune said the lightning was the
won} he'd ever seen. There was
very little lightning here, however.
The 19-minute power cut-off
scheduled for Sunday morning at
4 o'clock proceeded as scheduled,
Mr. Stovall said. Power all over
the county was cut off to allow
chances to transformers so that
voltage could be upped.

' ii present pians are carried mrougn, tteauiori 8 new
brid&e across Gallant's Channel will be located north of
the present bridge and enter Cedar Street.
The Beaufort Town Board, in special session Wednesday
afternoon, unanimously passed a resolution approving the
proposed location after the plarH
was presented by state highway of
ficials.
The board and other invited
guests met on the second floor of
the town hall.
W. H. Rogers, senior engineer
with the State Highway and Public
Works Commission said the ap
proach to the bridge on the west
would tie in with the causeway so
that all existing businesses there
will be served. This includes ma
rine stations on Pivers Island.
From the causeway, the approach
would cross the Beaufort and More
head City Railroad track, cross the
new span and < nter Cedar. Cedar
Street will be paved from the east
end of the bridge east to its inter
section with Highway 70.
Appropriations Required
Mr. Rogers pointed out that I
funds have not yet been appropri
ated for the project and he didn't
know when work would begin, but
both he and Maynard Hicks, high
way commissioner of this division,
assured the town fathers that need
for a new bridge was recognized as
essential and every effort would be
made to obtain the appropriations
as soon as possible.
Mr. Rogers said he didn't know
what the cost of the entire project
would be until further detailed
studies are made. He said it might
be in the neighborhood of $800,000
The new bridge will not be a
leaf-type bridge as the present one,
but will swing open as does the
span on the new bridge between
Morehead City and Atlantic Beach.
It will consist of two lanes with
three-foot walkways on each side.
Mr. Rogers said he did not know
what the clearance would be but
an attempt would be made to give
as much clearance as possible.
When asked if the swing span
would be 80 feet, he said that had
not been determined but engineers
realized the importance of giving
as much channel clearance as
possible.
Mr. Rogers said his department
had surveyed all possibilities for
relocating the bridge.
Ann Street wai dimutvid be
cause of the present congestion
there, especially on Sundays since
three churches arc located on that
street.
Broad Street was dismissed be
cause of the railroad on that street
It would entail, obtaining more
right-of-way than on Cedar Street
and would prove more costly. He
pointed out that the town would be
required to assume one-third of the
cost of obtaining the right-of-way.
Also, if Broad Street were se
lected, he added, two cemeteries
would be Involved and obtaining
right-of-way along burial grounds
always proves difficult.
Cedar Street would require the
obtaining of only a 60-foot right
of-way. This would provide suffi
cient space for a 44-foot wide paved
surface. Only one block of this
street is paved at present. He said
that the state's project, In addition
to paving the street from the chan
nel to Highway 70, would include
sidewalks on each side.
No Detour Needed
He also pointed out that the
Cedar Street route would allow
proceeding with construction with
out re-routing present traffic.
Mr. Rogers said that the arrange
ment for tying in the new bridge
at the east end of the Beaufort
Morehead City causeway, would al
low leeway for future planning for
a new bridge across Newport River
into Morehead City.
Before explaining the proposal
for the Beaufort bridge, he said
that the State Highway department
realizes that in the "near future"
there will have to be a new bridge
across Newport River.
Mr. Hicks introduced T. B. Gun
ter Jr.. bridge engineer, who In
turn presented Mr. Rogers.
The motion to accept the state's
plans was made by Commissioner
Gerald Hill and seconded by Com
missioner James Rumley.
Moses Howard, chairman of the
County Board of Commissioners,
said that he felt confident the
county board would give its ap
proval also.
Attending the meeting, In addi
tion to those mentioned, were R.
Markham. division engineer; J. G.
Gibba, right-of-way engineer; Mayor
George W. Dill of Morehead City;
Gene Smith. Beaufort town ittor
ney; Otis Mades, Math Chaplain.

Only first and second graders
who received polio shots at school
ia May are eligible for the second
shot. It had been hoped that both
shots could be given before school
closed, but further testing of the
vaccine prevented doing so.
Children who do not get their
second shots now will not be able
to get Uiem when school opens be
cause the vaccine now being used
may not be administered after
Sept. 1, 1955.
Health department nurses ask
that children be on time for the
shots because they will not be able
to meet their entire schedule if
delays are encountered.
