for their hours of time and gra
ciousness in making my pictures
The delicious foods and dinners
may have put on a little weight,
but they were certainly wacth tt
My hosts everywhere were delight
ful. In fact you ALL made me
feel like a real queen.
Best Wishes to you. each and
evervonc, and to Morehead City
for an even greater 100 years

(Editor's Note: Bob Morris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Morris, At
laBtie, was la Mexico during the recent earthquake. Uc writes, in
thr following article, of the evening prior to the quake and his ex
perience during Hi.
On Saturday, July 27, 1957, the
Casa de los Amigos in Chimalpa
was buzzing with work for the
fiesta wc were giving the village
that night. In the afternoon our
truek went into Mexico City to
carry Buck Rogers, a graduate
student in chemistry at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, who was
sick.
A few people in our group (mem
bers of a work project devoted to
the protection of peace through in
ternational understanding) went
along as far as Cuajimalpa, a sort
of county seat to Chimalpa even
though the former is in the Federal
District and the latter in the State
of Mexico. There is a public bath
there, where wc go twice a week
for showers.
We were in a hurry to get away
on this particular afternoon be
cause there were clouds building
up over the mountains to the north.
The rainy season in Mexico lasts
from April to September and dur
ing that time anyone planning to
leave Chimalpa for the world out
side must do so before the rains
cone in the afternoon; the timing!
has to be trigger-quick after it be
gins sprinkling or there is no get-1
ting through.
On Saturday, July 27, we made
it in the nick of time over the |
torturous little mountain road by
travelling at a somewhat less than |
safe speed. It had begun to drizzle j
just as we left Chimalpa.
I was in the group going to the
public baths. In Cuajimalpa we
separated from the three people
going into Mexico: Thelma Bab-1
bitt, our director, who went to i
take Buck Rogers to the doctor
8-Year-Old Runs
Into Pick-Up
William R. Wiseman Jr., 8-year
old son of Major and Mrs. Wise
man, 100 Rucher Circle, fori
Bragg, was knocked unconscious
for several moments at 7:25 p.m.
Monday when he ran into a mov
ing pick-up truck in front of

Beach.
Driving the truck, according to j
State Highway Patrolman R. II.
Brown, was Mrs. Elnora F. Joy
ner, 104 Church St., Karmvillc.
Mrs. Joyner was headed toward
Morehead City at about 10 miles
an hour, the patrolman said, when
the boy ran out from the motor
court and into the aide of the
pick-up.
He was taken to the Morehead
City Hospital in the Dill ambu
lance, given first aid treatment
and discharged. There was no
damage to the truck and no
charges were filed against the
driver.
Patrolman Brown said the acci-1
dent was unavoidable, lie added |
that the boy was apparently run
ning across the hcach road (o join I
two brothers who were at Sonny's |
Yacht basin.

Bath Felt Great
After a week's work of digging
a ditch and a culvert, the hath
was refreshing as only a rare bath
can be. We were going to get dirty
walking back to Cuajimalpa. but
that fact didn't seem at all im
portant. For a short time we were
clean and nothing could intrude
on the comfort of this thought.
There was no suggestion of any
menace in the mountains we saw
on our walk back to Chimalpa
that afternoon. We were headed
straight for our village which, in
the sunlight after the rain had
passed, seemed to glisten like a
brown jewel in a green nest of
mountains.
Over on our right a mountain
dreamed away in the afternoon
under a mantle of maiz fields just
getting up; rows of older maguey
plants (it takes twenty-five years
for them to mature) bordered the
Indian corn fields.
Like threads of little blue as
terisks on the brown page of the
hill-side, the maguey shone in the
sunlight among the yellow maiz
and the green woods down in the
valley. There was nothing menac
ing in the afternoon; walking in
the heavy, late-afternoon sun. one
felt only a sense of benevolence
and favor in the landscape.
When we got home to the Casa,
supper was waiting. Don Luis, the
Sub Delgado in Chimalpa, had ex
pressed some concern over our
choice of Saturday night for a
fiesta because lots of men who
live in the hills around Chimalpa
and work in Mexico City during
the week pass through here on
their way home Saturday after
noons and linger in the local can
tinas getting drunk, so we speeded
up our schedule in order to begin
promptly at 7:30 and have every
one out of the patio by 10:30.
We finished with supper quickly
and began to decorate tlie Com
mon Room for our guests.*
After 7. people began to arrive
rwttoer steadily. Women in wea
I tiered rebozos a?d dresses, often
as not barefooted, men in their
weekday clothes, x rapes and som
breros, soon filled up the room
we had prepared for them.
Social conscience in Chimalpa
demands that men and women
never be seen together in public,
so on one side of the room sat
the Senoras and Senoritas, on the
other, the Scnorcs. We had had to
make a rule about the children
who otherwise flooded the place.
Ninos who showed up were ad
mitted only with their parents.
At 7:30 wc handed out balloons
to the children. Wc had planned
to hang these up from the ceiling
but, once blown up, balloons are
inseparable from Mexican children.
With homemade cards we played
"Bingo"' under the title "Amigo."
"Amigo" made a great hit with
our friends.
The business of a prize for the
winners posed a ticklish problem
since, for obvious reasons, wc
could not hand out largesse. Wc
dealt with this matter by having
Darryl McKnight, an art student
from Bakersfield, Calif., draw a
pencil portrait of each of the vic
tors.
By now, the small room was
crowded to capacity and anyone
curious as to the success of our
party would have found an easy
answer in the facial expressions
of our guests. The Irish sweep
stakes could hardly offered a more
exciting promise than our game.
In the congested atmosphere of
the room an American new to this

Officers Hijack
Cargo of Booze
Officer Otis Willis. Beaufort po
licrman, and ABC Officer Marahall
Ayscue interrupted a delivery of 39
gallon* of moonshine at 3:30 Tues
day morning in Beaufort.
Officer Ayacuc is holding the car,
a 1942 Hudson, in which the whis

into Beaufort on I,ivc Oak Street
and when the police car was
spotted, the driver drove into
Tom's Service Station and "aban
doned ship".
Officer Ayacuc, however, has a
pretty good idea who was driving.
In the car was found a tow bag
with three gallons of booze, and six
cases, each holding six gallons.
