300 Attend Pearsall Forum at Newport Wednesday Three hundred pecaons attended a public forum on the J Pearnall P1?n Wednesday nijjM at the Newport School. i Speakers were H. L. Joslyn, county auperintendent of I schools, D. G. Hell, county legislator; and Mrs. Joe John Ron, New Bern, a member of the state I'TA executive com mittee. ? Milton Warren, prvnident of the Newport PTA, intro ft Aictd Mr Joslyn, who expressed* t Me hope that provisions of the Pearsall Plan will never have to be used. He viewed it as a "safety valve" which could be turned on in case bf racial tension. ? Mr. Joslyn set forth reasons * given by Dr. Charles Carroll, state superintendent of public instruc tion. as to why the Pearsall Plan should be approved. Moses Howard. Newport, chair man of the county board of com missioners, introduced Mr. Bell. The legislator said the issue is one of the most serious ever faced by voters in the county. He gave the background on Pear sall Plan and how it came into being. Mrs. Johnson, introduced by E. B. Comer, Newport principal, urged her listeners to "vote in fa vor of their children's education." She said that the organization she represents is against the Pearsall , Plan because opposition to it is "the only way the public schools can be strengthened and pre served." She said the PTA had "no quick and easy answer" to the problem. Some of the questions and the answers follow: Q. After withdrawing my child from public school because of in < tegration, am 1 compelled to place ' my child in a private school even though I cannot afford to do so? A. No, but you will not receive $135 the state is setting up if your child is kept home and tutored there. Q. Can I withdraw my child from school even if there is no in tegration problem? A. No, your child must stay in school unless an intolerable situa tion relating to integration arises. Q. How long would a school which is closed by this plan re main closed? A. Until reopened by public vote. Q. Is there anything in the Pear sall amendment to keep minority groups from closing the schools? A. The minority may remove their children from the schools but only a majority can close the school doors. Q. If integration came to New port, would the county provide transportation for my child to a segregated school? A. No, but the child could bo assigned to another school. Q. Could the closed public school building he sold or leased as a pri vate school? A. If eloeed for a long time, a private corporation could buy or lease the school building. Q. Would voting for the Pear ?nil amendment indicate enough strength that the S a pre me Court would change Its decision? Power Will Be Cut Twice Sunday There will be two 10-mtaiite ' power outtages In Beaufort and j vicinity Sunday, George Stovall. manager of Carolina Power and | Light Co., announce*. The outtages will take place if | weather i> fair. The first will be from 6 to (10 a.m. and affect Len noxville Road. Glendale Park, Cir cle Drive, North River from the intersection of Highway 101 and 70 to North River, the town of Beaufort and in Morehead City the port terminal. Standard OH Co., the shipyard and the Jefferson Hotel The second outtage will be from I) to R: 10 a.m. During the outtagc, sectional 17 ing switches will be installed so that in caae of breakdown on one ' circuit, that circuit can be dropped and power fed to the rest of the area. Also to be repaired is a 33,000 volt lightning arrester which was damaged recently. j Watch Your Washer For Rusty Water, Official Advises C. W. Williams of Carolina Wa ter Co. warns Beaufort housewives to fill automatic washers before , they put the clothes in them. The calgon which the company put in Beaufort water mains Monday af ternoon is beginning to cut the rust from the pipes, he said. He points out that rust will stain clothes, so be sure that the water in your machine is clear. If the first water drawn is rusty, let the water run a bit until it clears up. The calgon itself is harmless and tasteless, Mr. Williams has had wide ex perience using the chemical in other areas, and he says that once the rust is out of the pipes only occasional use of the calgon will be necessary to prevent further rusting. A. There are just 17 southern j states standing alone against the Supreme Court decision, although there is racial tension in other states too. Q. If a child were tutored at home for several years, what grade would he return to if the public schools were reopened? I A. His grade level would be de termined by tests. h ? Referendum (Continued from Page 1) la tar* woyld not be chaaged. It would iflMiiii at $16 a day for members and at 9S0 a day lor the twa presiding officers But the period for which they might draw it would be increased from 90 days to up to 120 days, and the change very welt could result in longer sessions. The change of meeting time amendment would, as the ballot will state, permit the legislature to convene approximately a month late. But it would also permit legisla tors to convene at any time of the year they might wish. That's made clear in the proposed amendment, but it's not shown on the ballot. February Opening The amendment says: "The Sen- 1 ate and House of Representatives shall meet biennially on the first 1 Wednesday after the Monday in i February next after their election, ' unless a different day shall be pro- ! vided by law; and when assembled, shall be denominated the General Assembly. Neither house shall pro ceed upon public business unless a majority of all the members are actually present." The constitution now says the j legislature shall meet biennially on the first Wednesday after the j first Monday in January next j after their election. It does not al- ( low lor changes such as would be , possible under the new words "un less a different day shall be pro- . vided by law.'* Explains Change The attorney general says the j idea of moving the opening day of i the session from January to Feb ruary results from the change in j the deadline for filing income tax returns. "The 1955 General Assembly," he wrote, "passed a law which ex tended the final date for the filing of income tax returns from March ( 13 to April 15. As a result of that i change, the General Assembly can not have until a month later an estimate of anticipated revenues to guide it in planning appropria tions. "By convening a month later, the assembly can be in session long enough to consider this vital mat ter after the estimates are in, with out having to continue in session lor an unnecessary length of time. The amendment would also author ize the General Assembly to fix the most appropriate day for its meeting." The amendment authorizing a married woman to execute a power of attorney conferred by her hus band would do just what it says. The adoption of it would mean | that when a husband could give his j wife written authority to sign and ' acknowledge deeds for him wheth er the property involved is owned jointly or individually. It would allow in North Caro 'lina, the attorney general wrote,' Fishery Association Directors Discuss Dredging, Paper Mill Plans for a meeting to promote ? deepening of Ocraooke Inlet and waterways loading to New Bern were mode at a hoard aioeting of [the North Carolina Fisheries Asso ciation at New Bern Wednesday. The proposed pulp mill between New Bern and Kins ton was also discussed. Garlaiul Fulcher, Oriental, presi dent of the NCFA, presided at the luncheon meeting which took place at the Hotel Tryon. Among the guests was Bill Ed wards, president of the New Bern Chamber of Commerce, who asked the association's cooperation in get ting the Neuae River to New Bern dredged. He said the Navy has recently announced that the larger Navy boats, drawing 14 feet of water, which frequently are sent to New Bern for repairs, can no longer be taken into New Bern because of shallow water. He estimated dredg I ing would be required for a dis tance of 11 miles. The NCFA and New Bern inter ests agreed to cooperate in push ing the Ocracoke and Neuse River projects. A dinner meeting at New Bern, which leading government officials and civic leaders will at tend, has been scheduled for some time within the next 30 days. W. H. Potter, Beaufort, was named chairman of the steering committee. George Garner secre tary of the NCFA, was authorized to write Graham A. Barden, Alton Lennon, and Herbert Bonner, con gressmen, to arrange a date that will be convenient to them. U. S. senators, state officials, in cluding Col. Harry Brown, head of the hurricane rehabilitation pro ject, Army engineers, representa tives of the Board of Conservation and Development, and representa tives of civic organizations and chambers of commerce interested in the Neuse and Ocracoke Inlet will be invited. 7 -Foot Depth Karl Holton, past president of the NCFA. reported that depth of the channel through Ocracoke In let is only 7 feet. "We have been having at least 8," Mr. Holton com mented I Mr. Potter remarked that the | depth of Ocracoke Inlet channel [should be no less than 20 feet. It was pointed out that a survey of the channel has been authorized by the federal government. "No boats of the new shrimp trawl size can use fhat inlet," Mr. Potter said. Clayton Fulcher Jr., Atlantic, estimated that leas than 20 per cent of the trawlers are able "a common business practice that is now allowed in every state of the union with one exception." to reach tbe ocean and return by that channel. During a discussion on the pro posed paper mill, Mr. Edwards, New Bern chamber official, read a letter from M L. Taylor, techni cal director for Union Bag-Camp, the firm interested in building the plant. Referring to fishermen's concern about the mill and the wastes which will be deposited in the Neuse River, Mr. Taylor said that surveys are still in progress to de termine what treatment will be necessary before the mill wastes go into the river. Mr. Taylor said the mill will lo cate near the Neuse only if it is found that wastes can be treated economically and the firm can be come a "good citizen" in its new site. It was reported that Dr. B. B. Brandt, a State College roologist, has been retained by Union Bag Camp to determine what amount of waste can be put into the Neuse an-d what prior treatment will be necessary. John Rodman, attorney for the NCFA, said that Dr. Brandt was consultant when wastes from the paper mill at Plymouth were caus ing difficulty in the fishing indus try. Requests Extensive Study Clayton Flueher Jr. requested that an exhaustive study be made on waste effects on all types of fish, not just finfish. He said that a finfish can probably filter a lot more water through its gills than a shrimp or other type seafood, and thus could withstand a more highly-polluted water. Mr. Fulcher cited an instance in Florida where an industry located on a waterway. A study had been made \yHich showed that the wastes would (j0l affect finfish, but after the mill was in operation, crabs became contaminated and a crab plant located there had to go into receivership when it was discover ed that its crab meat packed and shipped throughout the country was not fit for consumption. Mr. Holton said that he under stood that there was actually no law which could prevent the paper mill from dumping its wastes in the river. Ed Kirk, assistant to W. P. Saun ders. director of the Board of Con servation and Development, said he was sure there were several ways the dumping could be checked. He added 4hat he was "impress ed" with the approach being made by Union Bag-Camp, saying. "If they locate. I think you can be rea sonably assured they will have con crete solutions to problems." Guy Hamilton of the New Bern I.ions Club, who assisted in obtain ing an option on property for the mill, said that the plant proposes to deposit its waste water in ponds on a 4.800-acre site prior to releas ing it into the river. Suggestion Made Sam Whitehurst, state legislator from Craven County, suggested that coastal legislators be acquaint- I ed with fisheries legislation at a meeting prior to the opening of the general assembly next year. H. P. Edwards, general manager of the A&EC Railroad, was present ami pledged his cooperation with the NCFA in its projects. President Fulcher reported on negotiations with the Marine Corps I relative to practice bombing over ? fishing grounds. Arrangements are being made to consult with the Ma rine Corps at Cherry Point. Cecil Morris, Atlantic, chairman of the state commercial fisheries committee, told NCFA board mem bers that they "have the respect of the state" and the governor and the Conservation and Development department was ready to cooperate 1 fully in the association's work. Present, in addition to those mentioned, were Roy Watson, Ho bucken; I. J. Hudson and Sam Mc ! Cotter, Vandemere: Fred Whita ker, Kinston; Libby Ward, Hap j Tucker, Olin Wright, all of New I I Bern, and Lockwood Phillips, ' Beaufort. | Travellers on British railways, may engage automobiles when they ! buy their rail tickets and on arri val at their destinations are con-i ducted by special agents to their j waiting cars.

Merritt Bridgman, commanding officer of the Morehead City National Guard | unit, telling him that the county j had made no provision in its bud |get for 1956-57 to pay the unit $30 a month. Janes D. Potter, auditor, report ed that all legal matters in con- j nection with borrowing money for the health center have been taken carc of. The notes have been sold but the county has not yet re ceived the money, totaling $12,000. Mrs. Ralph Albares, Beaufort, gave the commissioners some ad j vice on how and where they should advert Lse. Commissioners present were Moses Howard, chairman, Harrell Taylor, Walter Yeomans, and Odell Merrill. Price Correction When you read the Piggly Wiggly j Store advertisement, prices for tv\o ' frozen items are incorrect. The ( price for one package of frozen turnip greens should read 15 cents and the price for two cans of orange juice should read 29 cents. The 1 errors were not noticed in a proof supplied the Piggly Wiggly store prior to the printing of the ad. Presbyterians Rate in Top 10 Atlanta, Ga.?
