Capt. Hubert Dail of Mill Creek,
head captain, investigated the

couldn't determine what caused
the explosion. Captain Dail was
not aboard at the time. "We're in

? Never underestimate ine power
of the tiny ant.
Ants on Saturday morning emp
tied the town of Beaufort's 60,000
gallon municipal water tank. How?
It was simple. They crawled into
the automatic pump controls,
caused a short which kept the
pump from starting automatically,
and so all the water was being
drawn out of the tank and none
replaced.
At about 8:30, houscwive* turn
ing on their faucets got only a
trickle of water. Nobody could
take showers and if there had been
a fire ,the only thing which could
have put it out was the rain. There
was literally water everywhere but
not a drop to drink, unless you
caught it on the way down.
Water was replaced in the tank
and pressure thereby auotmatically
restored by 9:15 a m. When the
trouble was discovered, the pump
was started manually and the
other pumping system put in op
eration, C. W. Williams, Carolina
Water Co. manager, reported.
Mr. Williams said there is a
pressure gauge at the Beaufort
fire station and when the pressure
gets down to the danger point, a
loud hofn blows. The fireman on
duty is then to notify the water
company, but the company got no
word of the lowered pressure Sat
urday morning, the manager said.
Elmond Rhue. fireman on duty
at the station Saturday morning,
said that the pressure alarm sound
ed at 8:1S and be tried continually
for half an hour to phone the wa
ter company plant but there was
no answer.
How did the water company get
rid of the pesky ants? "Sprayed
'em," Mr. Williams said
Antt have been out in force
ever since rainy weather set in
about the middle of August.
Civil Defense Proposes Emergency
Feeding Project for This County
In cooperation with the county
civil defense director, the Carteret
Buainess and Professional Women's
Club has endorsed an emergency
feeding program. Miss Ruth Peel
ing, civil defense director and
chairman of the BJtPW Club na
tional security committee, has re
quested women's organizations in
Beaufort and ltforehead City to
participate.
The program proposes that each
member of the clubs or fraternal
organizations contacted contribute
canned foods to be stored for
i emergency uae. Paper and wooden
eating utensils are alao being re
quested.
For example, the American
Home Department of the Morehead
City Woman's Club h?a been re
quested to contribute cam of ap
piaaauce. The Beaufort Woman's
[Club has been requested to donate
paper plates.
The cluba have been given a
choice each member may donate
one package or can of the item
specified, or else the organization
may buy the item in bulk.
Would be Stored
The food would then be stored
at central locations la Beaufort
and Morehead City where it would
be easily accessible In caae of
emergency.
Mias Peeling explained that un
der the civil defense program this
county is designated aa an area to
which people would be evacuated
from target areas Because civil
defense provides no funds for pur
chase of food supplies, these must
b? obtained through volunteer co
operation.
Tbe type* of food requested are
canned, can be stored without de
terioration and can be prepared
without cooking
While the food would be ear
marked for civil defense uae. it Is
possible that it could be released
for emergency feeding in case of
natural disaster, such as hurricane.
"That problem has always been
taken care of by the Red Cross and
civil defense is not going to step
in and take over responslfilities
already adequately handled by
other agencies," Miss Peeling said.
"But it is conceivable that in cer
tain emergencies an available food
supply such as civil defense is at
tempting to obtain, would be in
valuable," she commented.

Two Persons
Bitten by Dogs
Henry Conglcton, 114 Broad
Street, Beaufort, and Miss Helen
Manson, 906 Ann St., Beaufort,
were bitten by dogs Friday. Chief
of Police Guy Springle said that
the dog which bit Mr. Congleton
in the ankle is now being kept
tied.
Miss Manson was walking along
Front Street in front of the Ro
land Bell house when she said
three dogs went after her. One bit
her on both legs.
Chief Springle said that town
ordinances give police officers the
authority to kill any vicious, un
licensed dog. No dogs are allowed
to run loose unless they are vac
cinated and females in heat must
be kept confined.
Anyone having a mad dog can
be fined or imprisoned and fail
ure to list a dog for taxes consti
tutes violation of law, he declared.
Chief Springle said that anyone
convicted of violation of the dog
laws may be fined as much as $50
or imprisoned 30 days.
They are also responsible for
any destruction the dog may cause
or for any bills arising from treat
ment of bites inflicted by the dog.

More Water Problems
Towns Consider Filing
Rate-Raise Protests
Beaufort will evidently file a
protest with the State Utilities
Commission regarding Carolina
Water Company's proposed rate in
crease, town officials said Friday.
Mayor George Dill, Morehead City,
said he didn't know whether the
town of Morehead City would keep
quiet or protest.
"The papers would have to be
drawn up by our attorney," the
mayor said, "after we take the mat
ter up with the board of commis
sioners." He said George McNeill,
the attorney, is out of town and
was not available for consultation.
W. W. Exum, mayor of Snow
Hill, told THE NEWS-TIMES yes
terday that the matter would be
considered at the board of commis
sioners meeting at Snow Hill to
night. He said he didn't know
whether his board would file a pro
test.
Mayor Dill said that citizens have
been asking town officials what |
the town is "going to do about it."
The mayor said, "The town of
Morchcad City is only one cus
tomer of Carolina Water Co. We
may be a big customer, but it's
up to the individual water users to
protest too. We didn't ask for the
j ate raise and we alone can't pre
vent it," he said.
"I do think that to double the
rate all at one time is a right high
jump," the mayor added.
Attorneys for Carolina Water
Co., which serves Beaufort, More
head City and Snow Hill, filed a
rate raise application with the
State Utilities Commission 13 days
ago.
The application asks that present
rates be doubled. Carolina Water
Co. bought the water systems of
the three towns July 1, 1954 and in
the transaction agreed that the
rates would not be raised within
one year of purchase.
The systems were bought from
Carolina Power and Light Co.

For School Safety
Former Member Requests
Cooperation with Patrol
Larry Howard, captain of the
Newport School Safety Patrol,
spoke to Newport Rotariana laat
week on the' work of the aafety
patrol. Hia talk follows:
This Rotary Club along with the
Newport Parent-Teacher Associa
tion has sponsored the School Saf
ety Patrol aince ita beginning.
These two organiiations have done
much to render comfort to the
patrol members and provided rec
reation to boost their morale. I
was graduated last year and will
not be in school to help the patrol
thia year, but 1 am confident that
the patrol leaders will be able to
select a group of boys that will be
efficient and proud of the Job they
have In preventing accidenta.
I feel sure that Mr. Comer, our
principal and Mr. Long, the patrol
supervisor, will do their beat to
select dependable and efficient
members. Mr. Comer can do much
in demanding that the teachers as
well aa the students obey the rulM
and regulationa of the patrol. It
la vary diacouraging to a patrol
member to see hia polite instruc
tions completely Ignored. I{ this
happens too often, the boys are
ready to give up in despair.
You that have children in school
should demand that they obey the
rules and regulations of the Pa
trol. It ia for their protection only.
You js members of a sponsoring
organization should also obey the
rules and see that you, too, cross
at the crosswalks. If you see some
child break the rule*, speak to the
individual and tell him where he
did wrong. This will lighten the
load on the patrol members. Also
give the patrol members words of
encouragement from time to time.
Our biggest problem ia with the
high school students. Many still
think that they should not take
orders from patrol members who
May be in the 7th or 8th grades
or from high school members for
that matter. Such attitudes could
and should be corrected at home.
Safety is primarily a question
of. education, but accidents can be

State Highway patrolmen put
an undertaker's tent, steel vault,
family chairs, artificial grass and
flowers on the point of land where
the two highways intersect. Two

there. Signs nearby said, "This
Could Be Your Funeral ? Drive
Safely."
A highway patrol car, with blink

CD Director
Wants 12 'Ducks'
The "duck" that amphibioui ve
hicle which is as much at home
in water as on land, may become
a much more familiar sight along
the North Carolina coast.
Gen. Edward Griffin, state direc
tor of civil defense, says he is try
ing to obtain a dozen "dusks" for
permanent assignment to the coas
tal towna for rescue work during
floods such as those that accom
panied Hurricanes Connie and
Diane.
If the vehicles are assigned to
the state. General Griffin said,
tbey probably will be dispersed
among the coaatal towns and baaed
at National Guard armories.
He recalled that Civil Defenae
had to call on the Marines at Camp
Lejeune for a number of "ducka"
for rescue work along the Pamlico
River after Diane came by.
The amphibious vehicles brought
a number of persona out of tlM
flooded lowlands.
