Beach Board
Adopts New
Set of Laws
Commissioners Discuss
Roads, Town Expansion,
Fire Truck Funds
The Atlantic Beach commission
ers adopted a new town code at
' their monthly meeting Saturday
morning. They met at Mayor Al
fred Cooper's model beach cottage
Attorney Wiley Taylor, who was
assigned to codify the town's ordi
nances. reported that he had drawn
up an entire new set of ordinances
based on a model code furnished
by the North Carolina League of
Municipalities.
The new code was unanimously
adopted.
The commissioners authorized
Civil Defense director Jack Savage
to spend up to $100 of the town's
money for equipment for the fire
department and other civil defense
departments.
Alarm Needed
Mr. Savage said that he thought
the town could get a fire alarm
system from Morehead City. He
said that there was an air raid
alarm that had not been used since
the war that would serve the pur
pose very well.
There was a brief discussion
concerning the extension of the
town limits. The commissioners
agreed to talk to the people who
would he involved to sec how they
felt about coming into the town.
lown clerk II. M. Kure was au
thorized to write letters to E. L.
White and W. T. Joyncr of the
State Highway Commission, and R.
Markham, district engineer. The
letter will ask the men to consider
construction of a service road
parallel with . the pavement be
tween the beach bridge and the
city limits.
Such a road, they feel, would
give people a place to ptdl over
and wade, fish or picnic. Park
areas could be constructed along
the service road, too, the com
missioners believe.
Street Graded
Street commissioner A. F. Flem
ing reported that he was grading
a street by his property at his own
expense. He said that it would im
prove the looks of his land and
he thought it was worth the cost
to have it done.
He did say that the town should
spend some money buying grass
seed to plant on the shoulders of
several streets where the soil is
washing away. He was authorized
to have the shoulders seeded where
they were washing.
The commissioners heard a re
port of fire truck funds from Mr
Euro and voted to use the funds
collected to date to pay for the
conversion work done by Howard's
Garage in Newport.

hard to take," Darden recalls. "It
was so hot back home and while
crossing the Atlantic at some
points it was in the low 40's."
From Plymouth a special train
took the boys to Sutton Coldfield.
Thirty-five thousand Scouts from
84 nations comprised the jam
boree and were fed at the specially
established commissaries. Other
English Scouts also camped there,
