Heavy Wind, Rain
Hits Carteret
Heavy winds and rainfall of 1.63
inchcs accompanied daybreak In
the county yesterday. There was
both lightning and thunder.
In Beaufort the wind blew out
two plate glass windows at City
Grocery on Front Street and street
intersections were flooded. As a
result of the windows being bro
ken, rain damage in the store was
extensive.
The high temperature for the
end of last week was recorded Sun
day at 71 and the low waa record
ed Friday when the temperature ,
dropped to 40 degreea.

From New York to Germany
In One Short 24 Hours . . .

(Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of articles being writ
ten by the Rev. John Runn. More head City, as he travels to the Holy
Land where this summer he will be a member of an archaeological
team in Jordan).
April 3. 1956
The trip from International Air
port, N. Y., was of the nature of
cinerama. New York, Nova Scotia.
Scotland, Holland, Germany, all in
one .short 24 hours.
To fly KLM (Royal Dutch Air
lines) is a pleasure. Meals were
what you might call heavenly for
they were served 19.500 feet in the
air. Two meals were served aboard
plane over the Atlantic, lunch and
dinner. Between meals, even in
tourist class, coffee, fruiis, cake,
and cokes were delivered to the j
passengers.
The only time that I was I
"stooped cold" was at Prestwick, \
Scotland, where breakfast was
served at 6 a.m. at the Air Ter- j
minal. Wo were greeted at the en- j
trance by a gentleman garbed in ,
full formal dress. Tails no less!
I thought for a moment that this j
was some unfortunate wayfarer I
that had cither stayed late alter a
party or was rather early. Then j
when he seated us and proceeded i
to take our orders. I realized he !
was only the waiter but with class, j
I am writing now from the Savoy
Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany, just |
across the street from the central j
train station. The marks of the j
Allied Forces are still much in evi
dence here. The rail terminal still |
has sections not yet repaired and j
many buildings still have their i
pock marked faces as yet not reno- '
vated. One building on Kaiser- 1
strasse appears to have been tat- j
toed with machine gun fire.
April 5, 1956 ,
At 1:20 a.m. our plane landed at
Cairo Airport. Departure was from
Frankfurt, Germany at 2 p.m. The
chance in plans called for routing
by Vienna, Austria, then to Istan
bul, Turkey and then to Cairo. Vi
enna, the once proud center of
Hungarian culture, also was disfig
ured by the ravages of war.
The airport is still in repair. 1
Once behind the Curtain of Iron
?ill changed. In fact we tarried J>ut
seconds in the terminal before re
turning to the ship. Istanbul was
a lovely sight from the air with
its millions of lights spangling the
night like stars in the heavens.
A few minutes after arriving, we
taxied out the runway and were
off for Cairo. Here hotel reserva
tions were all fouled up. In other
words "youngcrns it's a scrape.''
We finally wound up in the Royal
Houseboat gently rocking upon the
waves of the Nile.
This same river once witnessed
the comings and goings of the
mighty Pharaohs of Egypt. It was :
upon the breast of this river that
the cradle of Moses was softly |
rocked. Before me is over 5,000
years of history and the beginning
of a new era for this nation.
From the airport to Cairo are
literally hundreds of new apart
ment buildings to house the people
of the land. Possibly a new era of
greatness awaits this old but young
nation. An era which shall revive
its once world-wide power. But
who knows, that lies in the hands
of Kismet!

Polio Vaccine Will Be
Given at Clinics Today
Polio vaccine will be adminis-4*
tcrcd again this afternoon at clin
ics in Beaufort and Morehcad City.
Two hundred thirty-five of the
315 doses allotted this county last
week were administered at clinics
Thursday. More vaccine was re
ceived at the county health de
partment yesterday morning. Dr.
Luther Fulcher, health officer,
said the department has been no
tified that vaccine will be coming
along in greater supply and more
is expected here soon.
The health department hopes to
get at least one shot to all persons
under 19 who want it, because one
shot gives a large measure of pro
tection.
The Morehead City clinic this af
ternoon will remain open only as
long as there are persons present
to take the vaccine.
Assisting at the clinic Thursday

Girl Scout Leaders Seek
Parent Opinion on Day Camp
win scoui leaacrs in in is county
as yet have had no indication of
interest from parents relative to
establishment of a week of day
camp here this summer.
Mrs. John James, Morchcad City,
says that unless parents notify
Scout leaders that they are inter
ested in having their girls attend
.such a camp, it will not be estab
lished.
The camp would continue for one
week and be located here, possibly
at the beach. Girl* would attend
by the day, going home at night |
;.nd could attend as many days as j
they wish.
Day camp is a 1 training ground ,
for longer camping periods. If the
Scout wish, they may attend the (
Girl Scout camp, Camp Trailee,
July 8-20 and July 22-Aug. 3. Camp i
Trailee is located nine miles south ,
of Goldsboro
Parents of Girl Scout who are in
tcrcsted in having a day camp in

Stop ? Stop ? Stop ? STOP!
A new stop sign set up at the
intersection of Arendell and
Bridges Streets, west of Morehead
City, is apparently working quite
well, according to state highway
patrolmen.
About four weeks ago, stop signs
were re arranged as shown above.
Prior to that time accidents were
happening at the intersection so
fast the officers could hardly keep
up with tfcem.
The street in the foreground is
Arendell Street, westbound lane
(Highway 70). Traffic in this lane
must stop. The panel truck in the
background is going east on
Bridges (Highway 70A). Neither
cast nor westbound traffic on
[Bridges nerd stop, as it had to doi
! prior to the change.
I The stop signs, in addition to
j the one at the far left are for cars j
turning left from the castbound
I lane on Arendell to cross north ;
I ward to Bridges.
' The stop sign in the foreground,
J which is painted yellow stops traf- ,
j fic from piling into westbound j
Arendell street traffic.
I Moving the eyes to the right'
slightly, the third stop sign is j
seen. This is a precautionary sign t
to warn the motorist that as he j
completes the curve into Bridges.!
he will have to stop.
Then the fourth stop sign at the
far right stops him before be ac
timlly enters Bridges. The three
signs in the background of the i
picture are painted red.
Sgt. C. L. league of the State
Highway Patrol .said that he is not
sure that this arrangement is the
best. lie said complications may
arise this summer when traffic get.s
heavier. However, the new set-up
to the average motorist, has more
logic to it than the previous com
plicated stop sign arrangement.
Prior to the change. THE NEWS
TIMES pointed out editorially that
the original arrangement was dan j
gerous and was probably a contrib- 1
uting factor in the number of ac
cidents occurring at the intersec
tion.

Even with Atlantic Beach con
tinuing sale of beer on Sundays,
the State Highway Patrol, county
law enforcement officers and court
officials believe that the accident
rate in the county can be cut down
if rural beer-selling pLaccs are
closed on that day.
Wiley Taylor, solicitor of County
Recorder's Court, yesterday re
leased figures on accident rates in
Carteret. He said that on the basis
of those figures, Judge Lambert
Morris, Sheriff Hugh Salter, Sgt.
C. L. Teague of the State Highway
Patrol, and the highway patrolmen
stationed in this county, decided
that closing the rural beer-selling
places would help prevent the coun
ty's high accident rate.
(Sheriff Hugh Salter said yester
day that when he gave approval to
no Sunday beer sales, he was un
der the impression that state law
would allow stopping beer sales at
Atlantic Beach too. He added that
he is not in favor of allowing some
people to sell beer and closing
others down).
I According to a map prepared by
'Sergent Teague, 31 accidents oc
| curred on Highway 70 between
I Wild wood and the Craven County
line last year. Of those, three
| caused fatalities and persons in
; jurcd totaled eight.
In 1955 there were 263 accidents
in the county. 109 persons needed
medical attention and there were j
11 deaths, all the fatalities being in
the rural areas.
There were 20 driving drunk ar
rests, the majority of them being
in the western part of the county,
and according to the sergeant's fig
; ures said Mr. Taylor, many of these j
arrests were made on Sunday. !
Forty-four per cent of all the I
fatal accidents in the state happen
on Saturday and Sunday, according
to Sergeant Teague's report.
To cite a few examples. Mr. Tay- ;
lor said that on Sunday, May 1, in
jured in an accident on the Lake j
Road were three persons who had

Firemen Answer
Two Alarms
Beaufort firemen answered two
alarms last week.
At 1:40 p.m. Thursday they were
summoned to Haywood Snell s bar
ber shop on Front Street where
an oil stove caught (ire. No dam
age was caused.
On Saturday at 1:55 p.m. they
were called to Bel Air and Ann
Streets where a 1V4 ton pickup
truck owned by Earl Noc. Beau
fort. caught fire. Damage was es
timated at $500.
Firemen stated that the fire was
caused by spontaneous combus
tion, as glaring rays of the sun
caused some paint thinner in the
back of the truck to ignite.
The firemen also reported that
the new portable pumper bought
by the Rural Fire Association is
wonderful. The new pumper was
put through its paces, has 150
pound pressure and can pump 300
gallons per minute.
The pumper can be placed any

Two Cedar Island resi
dents will be Riven a bearing
in county court Thursday on
charges of conspiring to rob,
assault and robbery. They
are S l/c Frank Wright,
USN, who is stationed at Ce
dar Island, and Rodney
(Bill) C. Gaskill, who lives
at Ceiar Island.
According to Sheriff Hugh Sal
ter. they lured Molvin G. Hatley. a
salesman, to Cedar Island Saturday
night and took $*5 from him. Hat
ley. oricinallv from Idaho, is a
salesman for the Kmerol Manufac
turing Co., working out of Char
lotte.
The sheriff said the whole thing
started when Wright. Gaskill and
two girls from Atlantic met Hatley
at Atlantic Beach. Gaskill wanted
to drive Hatley's 1956 Pontiac so
he could compare it with his own
19.56 Ford. So Gaskill and Hatley
were in the Pontiac.
Behind them in Gaskill's Ford
were Wright and the two girls. Ilat
lcy said Gaskill told him he was
driving him toward New Bern, in
stead they were headed for Cedar
Island.
Transfer Made
En route one of the girls with
Wright cot out and got in witb
Hatley and Gaskill, the sheriff re
lated. At Atlantic, he continued,
the girl with Wright asked to be
put out at her home and later the
other girl said she asked that she
he taken home too, but she wasn't
taken home.
Hatley told the sheriff that he
asked several times what road they
were on and was told they were
taking a "short cut" to New Bern.
When they drove on to the old
cutoff road by the Cedar Island
school house. Hatley asked again
where they were and he said Gas
kill replied, "You'd be surprised
how close you are to New Bern."
Then Wright pulled ahead of
them and the two of them hauled
Hatley out of the car and Hatley
said Gaskill asked him for $50.
Meanwhile the girl had run to Gaa
kiM's car, jumped in. rolled up the
windows and locked the car doors.
Salesman Robbed
Hatley told the sheriff he in
formed Gaskill and Wright that he
had no money. Then he said,
Wright held Hatley's arms while
Gaskill went after the money. Hat
ley said he was knocked down once.
Wright got $25 and Gaskill said
he got $20 which he later threw
out the window, he claimed, as he
was driving away from the scene.
Wright, Gaskill and the girl then
left Hatley. Hatley, however, had
another set of keys to his car and
he tried at several homes on Cedar
Island to get help. Then he drove
to Atlantic, the sheriff said, where
he got a woman to call the sheriff.
It happened that the woman was
the mother of the girl who had
witnessed the robbery.
The sheriff was notified at about
2:15 a.m. and he and Deputy
Sheriff Marshall Ayscue went to
Atlantic. There at the house of the
woman who had called them they
got tlie license number of Gaskill's
car.
Information Relayed
The number was relayed to More
head City police station where Sgt.
Bruce Kdwards was able to con
tact Williamston by radio and got
a description of the car. The two
officers picked up Gaskill at his
home at Cedar Island and Wright
at the Nsvy radio station and had
them in jail in Beaufort by 4:30
a.m. Sunday.
Gaskill has been released under
$1,000 bond and Wright, who has
been in the Navy 10 years, was yes
terday still waiting for relatives in
Virginia to get up his $1,000 bond.
The sheriff said Wright returned
the $25 to Hatley Sunday morning.
