Car Runt Off Crab Point
Road Sunday Morning
A 1949 Chevrolet ran off the
Crab Point Road . and into the
woods at 9:30 Sunday morning.
The owner of the car, Oscar Chap
man, 509 12th St., Morehead City,
was found lying in the road a mile
from the car at 4 p.m. Sunday and
was charged with public drunken
ness.
Chapman told State Highway
Patrolman Brown that he and "ano
ther fellow" were in the car and
the "other fellow" was driving,
but he couldn't remember who his
companion was.
Chapman was put in Jail. Dam
age to the car was estimated at
$100.
The dairy barn owned by John
Oglcsby, Crab Point, burned at #15
Friday night. Mr. Uglesby esti
mated his Iocs at $8,000. The barn
was partially insured.
The blaze is believed to have
started from defective wiring. Mr.
Oglesby said he had just left the
barn, a half an hour before James
Forbes, a neighbor, tame rushing
into hi* house to tell him the barn
was on lire.
"I went out and looked and knew
then that it wks gone," lit Ogles
by said. The flames were leaping
high in the air, fanned by a strong
southwest wind.
Morchead City firemen rushed
to the scene and kept the fire from
spreading. The Oglesby home is
located a short distance south of
the barn, with other outhouses be
tween the house and barn.
The barn was of wood construc
tion, 36 by 40 feet. Inside were
grain, wheat straw, seed, a small
grain conveyor, hammer mill, a
thousand pounds of fertilizer and
other equipment. All were lost.
A horse, stock pig and cow were
rescued from the barn. But the
horse and pig were burned. Mrs.
Oglesby said the horse, trapped in
his stall, stood whimpering just
like a helpless ehild.
John Ebron, a neighbor, got
some medieine at the drug store
and treated the burned animals
when efforts to find the veteri
narian were unsuccessful. The ani
mals were reported yesterday to
be getting along all right.
The Oglesby dairy herd was out
in the field at the time.
Mr. Oglesby plans to rebuild the
barn, but be's not certain that it
wfll be on the same site.
Indonesian Fishery Men
Visit at Pivers Island
Two Indonesians, G. Hakim and
J. R. Pattinasarany, arc visiting at
the Kish and Wildlife Laboratory,
Pivcrs Island, this week.
They arc studying methods of
catching and using fish. The major
item of the Indonesian diet is rice.
There is little or no meat available
in Indonesia, so the government la
trying to find ways to increase the
per capita consumption of fish
which now is only 10 pounds a year
per person.
The visiting Indonesians, after a
five-month tour of study in this
country, will return to their home
land. There model fishing commun

the shores of Indonesian islands.
Included in these model villages
will be all the necessities for catch
ing and using fish ? boats, a can
nery, fish meal plant, facilities for
drying fish, lee plant, and boat re
pair yards. The fish meal plants
will process fish for human con
sumption, producing products such
as oil, flour, and meal.
Mr. Hakim and Mr. Pattinasarany
will instruct other fishery workers
when they return home. Mr. Hakim
will be stationed at Bandjarmasin
in Indonesian Borneo and Mr. Pat
tinasarany will be stationed at
Djarkata, Java.
The two men have already visit
ed the New England and Gulf
States fishing ports. En route to
the United States they visited Den
mark and the Netherlands and will
stop at Japan on the way home.
While in Beaufort tbev hope to
go out on a shrimper, but the
shrimpers have been tied up the
past several days because of the
high winds.

' The town of Morehead
City has purchased land for
a new cemetery. Negotia
tions were closed last week.
The new property consisting
of two acres of fields and
wooded area lies north of the
KEA building on Bridges
Street and south of Calico
| Creek.
The land, costing $15,000, which
will be paid fdr over the next three
years, was bought from Cccil Nel
son, Morehead City.
The western section will be plow
ed and grassed this fall with a view
toward offering lots for sale in the
spring of 1957.
Space Needed
The purchase was necessary.
Mayor George Dill points out, be
cause very few lots are now avail
able in the present Bayview Ceme
tery. Bayview is the town's first
cemetery and covers about six city
blocks. It lies east and west of
20th Street.
Mayor Dill said that the new
cemetery will be laid out on a
park-type plan. Restrictions will
also apply to the lots in the new
cemetery. In other words, owners
will be limited as to what they can
do to a lot.
Frequently shrubbery, plants,
walls or copings make care of the
lots difficult, thus complicating a
perpetual care program.
There are no restrictions in Bay
view Cemetery.
No Decision Yet
The town has not decided as yet
what restrictions will apply. These
will be drawn up after programs
of other cemeteries are studied.
Sale of lots in the new cemetery
will also be on a different plan.
Lots in Bayview sell for $100 a
square. A squire includes four
"lots" or a total of 12 grave spaces.
Mayor Dill says that in the past a
family buys a square, but uses only
several of the grave spaces, thus
burial space is wasted.
Price of lots in the new ceme
tcry has not been set. This too
will be decided on after plans on
Jiyout are determined.
Purchase of land for a new ceme
tery comes after several years of
looking for a desirable site avail
able at a price the town felt it
could pay.
Two Boys Survive Explosion
W. H. (Piggy) Potter Jr., 12, of
Beaufort, and Fleming (Tex) Ful
ler Jr., 11, of Kington. were in
jured at the Potter home, 1015
Front St., at 10 o'clock Friday
morning when a machine gun shell
exploded.
Tex was discharged from the
Morehcad City Hospital Sunday
and Piggy was reported by his fa
ther yesterday to be getting along
very well.
According to Mr. Potter the two
boys were in Piggy's bedroom and
had a 30-caIibrc machine gun
shell. The lead and powder had
been taken out and Mr. Potter said
that he had looked at the shell
and although it looked as though
the cap might still be live, he as
sumed it was harmless.
Piggy had bought the shell,
about S inches long and an inch
in diameter, at school last year.
Since the accident happened, Mr.
Potter said he has been informed
that quite a few of the boys have
such sheila.
Shell Re loaded
The two t|oys, however, also had
two cherry bombs (type of fire
cracker) and they slit those open
and poured the powder in the ma
chine gun shell and set the shell
on the bedroom window sill. Then
Piggy lit a match and dropped It
in the shell.
This ignited the powder. The re
sulting explosion drove the cap :
into the wlndowsill and fcattcred |
shrapnel over the room and ill
over the boys.
Piggy was more seriously hurt
than his playmate. A piece of shell
an Inch and a half long and half
an inch wide hit him in the pit
of the stomach. It had to be re
moved by surgery. Fortunately, it
didnt penetrate deeply.
Tex had tiny pieces of shrapnel
under the skin in his abdomen but
the doctors decided that leaving
it there would be better than try
ing to remove the metal fragments.
Mr. Potter said that as the ex
plosion occurred the boys auto
matically threw their hinds over
their faces and this probibly
saved their eyes from the splin
tered metal. Mrs. Potter was in
the house it the time.
Taken by Ambulance
The boys were taken to Morc
hcad City Hospital in the Dill am
bulance. Chief of Police Guy
Springle notified the Morchead
City drawbridge tender to keep
the bridge down.
Mr. Potter said, "It's a good
thing he did too becausc a barge
was coming." The ambulance got
to the hospital but the Potters
were held up by the barge.
Mr. Potter saitt that' everyone
has been most helpful and he ap
preciates their interest in the wel
fare of the boys. He also said the
accident should aervc is ? warn
ing to other parents whose boyi
have gun shells that arc believed
to be "hirmless."
