Cooper Says Government Wastes Money on Dunes Troubles have arisen in the Bogue Banks seawall plans. Civil Defense has now taken the attitude that funds can be used only "to repair existing facilities" at the beach. Property owners were making seawall plans on the announced Civil Defense policy that funds There will be a meeting of At lantic Beach property owners at 10:30 tomorrow morning at At lantic Beach. Mayor Cooper said, "It is most important that every property owner at Atlantic Beach ? attend!" would be provided for a temporary structure, if the need for such ex isted. The beach people were hoping to use Civil Defense financial aid and make up the difference, to provide a permanent wall, with their own funds. "I've been misled in this whole thing, even from the top office," Mayor A. B. Cooper said dejectedly yesterday. "We're going to have another meeting of property own i ers and explain the situation to them," the mayor said. Civil Defense, according to Mayor Cooper, has taken the atti tude that sand dunes are cheaper. ' "But they do not furnish the type ? protection needed for all this val uable property here," Mayor 1 Cooper said. "-Well probably get some help, I but nothing like we had hoped," be added. ' "Pushing up dunes between storms and then having them wash ed away is just wasting the govern i ment's money," he continued. "It i seems to me that the plan we have under consideration is only good business sense. "There's another storm (Janet) on the way and we can't put up with this time after time. If some thing permanent isn't done, we're going to lose everything we have," the mayor concluded. Game Warden Picks Up Three Men Three men have been charged with taking deer illegally at night in the Merrimon section. They are lames Styron. Clyde Hose, and William Duke.

The group held its initial meeting above the Joe House Drug Store. First Lt. Leon A. Mann Jr., mayor of New port and commander of the unit was in charge. Lieutenant Mann stated that the organization of this type of unit in Beaufort will provide the ideal solution for proper utilization of the many skilled young men who make their living operating or supporting the boating industry. "The 824th Heavy Boat Company should appeal very strongly to those for whom the sea and boat ing have such a tremendous rec reational appeal," he remarked. First Lt. Paul W.

As the Heavy Boat Company gains in strength It is highly pos sible that some floating equip ment may be issued, Lieutenant Hill said. The unit will have full use of all floating equipment dur ing the annual summer training at Fort Eustis, Va. The 824th Heavy Boat Company will have a strength of four offi cers, 23 warrant officers and 105 enlisted men. All masters, mates and engineers rate the rank of warrant officer.

Allen Leary of the Beaufort and Morehead Railroad, using the rail roadcr'a seventh sense, said yester day, "I know we'll have a train In here by Monday at the latest." According to Information from the Atlantic and East Carolina of fice, New Bern, yesterday, it would be several weeks before a train could come in here. The AAEC report said that no agreement had been made as of yesterday to use the federal line between Lejeune and Cherry Point. Mr. Leary said that he had been in contact with Washington and Cherry Point and waa confident that the line would be put into um aa soon m three washouts on ft art repaired. They're expected to be fixed by tomorrow night Under that plan, cars would be aent from New Bern to Jackson ville, then acroas to Cherry Point am) Into Morehead City. The railroad bridge at New Bern waa waahed out by lone and that'a what baa caused all the trouble. The A4EC office said that there ia a small bridge and washout be tween New Bern and Kins ton and it would take a few days to repair that. Therefore, there would be no traina into New Bern. Mr Leary said that would not prevent freight from coming in here. He aaid cars could be aent on the Southern from Goldaboro to Wilmington and then back to Jackaon ville.

May, ASC manager, said that ASC iunds to help farmers pay for gypsum (to treat saltwater damaged fields) has been request ed of the Stale ASC committee, but the state ASC has not yet re ceived an OK from the federal government. 120,000 Requested Twenty thousand dollars has been requested by this county to help the farmers in this phase of farm rehabilitation. Mr. Williams said that analysis of soil, after Connie and Diane, did not show as much salt content as after Hazel. "The ground has been so saturated with fresh wa ter that the saltwater did not soak in like it did in Hazel," the agent commented. lone, he said, has probably fin ished off any sweet potatoes that survived Connie and Diane. "Hay and soybeans are surely gone," Mr. Williams added. Robert l^aughton, Crab Point, said, "Actually, lone couldn't do much damage, because everything was destroyed in the earlier storms." Forms Received | Mr. Williams said that his of fice has received forms to fill out, giving data on damage to farms in Connie, Diane and lone. He said that he doubted that a meet ing of the County Hurricane Dam age Committee would be called bccause farm officials themselves are planning to check among the farmers and use those form re ports in filling out the forms.

During the hurricane, which turned the streets of the station into rivers and turned every low ftpot on the base into a rain-lashed lake, winds reached a velocity of 64 miles an hour with some gusts topping the 108 mile-an hour mark. Before the fury of the storm hit Cherry Point, Marine officials offered the safety of the base to military dependents and civilian employees living in government housing on and in the vicinity of the Air Station. Buses continued to cruise the areas until all who desired eva cuation could be taken to the sturdily-constructed station theatre. Many of those who took refuge aboard the station had reason to be thankful as the raging wind uprooted huge trees and lent them crashing down on houses and ga rages. The exact extent of the damage to this Air Station has not yet been determined. The station aen ior medical officer reported no in juries.
