Duke Endowment
Aids Hospitals
Sm Level Hospital Will
Get $209; Morehead
City Figure Estimated
Trustees of the Duke Endowment
this week approved a grant of 1209
to the Sea Level Community Hos
pital to help meet cost of caring
for unable to-pay patients last year.
A total of $417,293 will be given
North Carolina hospitals and or
phanages.
The rate is $1 a day for each free
day of care given indigent patients
No amount was specified for
Morehead City Ilospilal. but David
P. Willis, administrator, estimates
that the grant to the Morehead hos
pital will be between $2,000 and
$2,500. Received last year was
$1,490.
Audit Delayed
Mr. Willis explained that the
Morehead City Hospital audit has
been delayed and the financial re
port is late in being filed with the
Duke Endowment trustees. He said
the deadline is Feb. 13.
According to Mr. Willis, a change
in the dates l?f the Duke Endow
ment fiscal year has contributed to
the delay. The Morehead City Hos
pital audit, lie added, is now com
plete.
Request 'Studied'
Relative to the recent request by
nurses at the Morehead City Hos
pital for an adjustment in salary,
Mr. Willis said that "the situation
Is being studied.''
Nurses requested last month a
meeting with the hospital board of
trustees. The board's next regular
meeting is Thursday night, Feb. 14.
County Library
Opens Branch
A branch of the Carteret County
Library has been established in
Newport, according to county li
brary director. Miss Dorothy
Avery. The library is located in
the PTA Center and will be open
each Monday from 2-4 p.m.
Miss Ada Allen of Newport will
be librarian for the new library,
which will open its doors for the
first time Mondav afternoon.
The branch is the result of a
cooperative arrangement between
the people of Newport and the
county library. The town of New
port will provide the building
(pace and personnel to operate
the library, and the county library
furnishes the books and the ser
vices of its director to plan and
develop the branch.
Over 200 adult books arc now
on the (helves at the branch. A
generous supply of fiction, and a
number of books on the home
demonstration club reading lists
are included, announces Miss Al
len. There are also non-fiction
books, mysteries, and westerns.
A good selection of children's
books may be found. The library
offerings begin with easy picture
books and continue in progressive
stages to the teen-age reading
level.
Once a month the bookmobile
will bring additional books and
pick up those which have been
read.
Miss Avery comments that the
progress or failure of the new
branch will depend upon the per
sons who use it. "Unless the libra
ry justifies its existence by be
coming useful to Newport resi
dents, it would be a waste of books
and materials to continue its op
eration."

B. J. May, ASC manager, pre-?
diets that there will be a waiting
line at the eounty ASC office to
day, the first day that farmers
can fign up for the 1957 acreage
reserve phase of the Soil Bank.
The office, upstairs in the Beau
fort postoffice. will open at ? a.m.
Mr. May says that the applica
tions will be handled on a first
come, first served basis. County
flue-cured tobacco growers will
split up $38,086 and cotton grow
ers will divide $3,48u under the
program. A total of $25,471,600 has
been allocated to North Carolina
for the entire program.
The minimum payment for to
bacco under the program is $191
per acre. Maximum payment is
$293 The general average estimat
ed for the state will be $255.42.
Payments arc based on previous
production of the fields placed in
the Soil Bank.
There arc no minimum limita
tions on the acrcage that a farmer
may place in the Soil Bank, but
there are maximums.
For flue-cured tobacco, the max
imum limit for any one farm is
three acres or 30 per cent of the
allotment, whichever is larger.
For cotton, the limit is 10 acres
or 30 per ccnt, whichever is lar
ger.
Farmers wishing to participate
above the maximum acreage limits
should indicate this in their origi
nal agreement, according to state
ASC officials. The additional acres
will be accepted under, the pro
gram later if more funds become
available through reallocation from
another county or state.
The deadline for tobacco and
cotton growers is March 1.
To sign an agreement, the farm
operator or owner must visit the
county ASC office personally. He
must be prepared to designate and
identify the specific fields to be
placed in the Soil Bank.
ASC representatives will inspect
the "banked" fields at the time
they visit the farm this spring
and summer to check compliance
with allotments.

Committee Head
Names Members
L. D. Gore, chairman of the in
dustrial committee of the More
head City Chamber of Commerce,
has announced the names of the
committee members for 1957. They
are Skinner Chalk, John L. Crump,
George R. Wallace. J. D. Holt,
and Dr. S. W. Hatcher.
Mr. Gore reports that during
1956 nine manufacturing or indus
trial leads were processed in ad
dition to miscellaneous merchan
tile inquiries. Some of these cases
hold promise of further develop
ment and are being followed up
by various data through corres
pondence and long distance phone.
Because of the nature of the
work of this committee, each com
Lou Gore
. . . steers committee
mitlccman is named as a co
chairman, making it unnecessary
to have time-consuming meetings
unless a "hot prospect" appears
where combined effort would be
most effective. Then says Mr.
Gore, the full committee will "go
to town."
It was pointed out that last year
the committee had no funds with
which to operate and the work '
done in digging up information
for a number of firms was done
by individual members. This year
the committee will have an indus
trial brochure listing the informa
tion most frequently requested
and it is hoped that the member
ship of the chamber will realize
the importance of bringing new
payrolls here to the extent of pro
viding funds for widening the ac
tivities of the Industrial Develop
ment Committee, the chairman
said.
Mr. Gore stated that every citi
zen in this area should consider
himself an cx-officio member of
this committee. "Many of our
citizens visit other sections of the
country from time to time. They
have opportunities for discussing
the advantages of locating small
or large manufacturing plants or
branches here. If they will just
tell any member of our committee
about any favorable responses they
receive, we will do the rest," he
said, "if we know who to go after,
we will go."

the Beaufort Rotary Club meeting

ing. They arc J. P. Harris, Bruce

for president. Dr. David Farrior,

directors will probably choose of
ficers at their meeting next week.
The speaker was J. A. DuBois,
Morchcad City, who spoke on the
need for a state waterways com
mission. Mr. DuBois was intro
duced by Halscy Paul.
Visitors were Tom Green, Shel
by; Thomas Noc and Buck Mat
thews Jr., Morchcad City.
Rhode Island, smallest state in
