Town Reminds Fag
Sellers of Laws
Newport town officials have
requested cigarette-selling bus
inessmen in town to cooperate in
cutting the number of youngsters
smoking cigarettes.
In a recent letter to business
men, Mayor Leon Mann Jr.
pointed out that it is against the
law to sell tobacco products to
a child under 17. An older per
son who buys such products for
a child under 17 is also violating
law, he said.
The appeal was made as the
result of a "rising incidence of
cigarette smoking among mi
nors," the mayor declared.

What individual local communi
ties do will determine whether the
world will continue to exist in the
next hundred years or whether
man's new discoveries in science
will bring destruction.
This was one of the points in a
thought provoking message brought
to a Centennial congregation of
750 Sunday night at the Morehead
City, football field by Or. B. Crank
Hall.
Or. Hall, pastor of the Pcarsali
Memorial Presbyterian Church,
Wilmington, was pastor of the
Morehead City and Wildwood Pres
byterian Churches in 1933-38.
Speed of News
The minister said that the mod
ern systems of communication let
peoples all over the world know
what is happening in this country
an hour after it happens.
"The future of the world is not
being decided in Washington or
Moscow." the speaker declared,
"it's being decided in Morehead
City and communities like it every
where."
lie recalled how. as a member
of a conciliation mission during
the Arab-Israeli conflict, he visited
a refugee camp with several other
Americans. He said they no sooner
arrived at the camp than they saw
an American consular car over
turned by rioting refugees and set
afire.
Even the American diplomatic
officials did not know what had
set off the trouble. A few hours
later, it was learned that there
was a lynching in a small town in
the Deep South in the United
Stales.
The refugees had received this
information by "radio Moscow,"
Dr. Hall said and in protest against
the lynching attacked American
property. Such a flare-up of vio
lence, he continued, could be the
starting point of a major war.
"It used to be," Dr. Hall de
clared, "that we could talk Chris
tianity and live the way we wanted
to. But the modern methods of
communications no longer allow
us this luxury of double talk."
Dr. Hall said that other cities
have celebrated periods of exis
tence far in cxceas of Morehead
City's one hundred years, but re
marked that the town need make
no apologies for observing the past
hundred years, for during this span
of time man has made greater
scientific progress t! an in the 19
centuries preceding.
Past Not Perfect
He warned the audience not to
deify and attempt to perpetuate the
past, but rather to recognise the
ways in which there was failure
and attempt to remedy such short
comings in the future.
He was introduced by the Rev.
A. G. Harris Jr., pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, More
head City.

Two Bottles
Found on Shore

Mrs. N. W. Hitson. 1306 Trent Blvd.
The dollar in their bottle waa
from Fleming's Motel. Mrs. Scott
said both the girls were thrilled
at finding the battle.
It is being kept aa a souvenir.

gave each 30 cents so that the
money in the bottle might be kept
intact I

dred dollar bills.
