TWO SECTIONS TWELVE PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1958 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Menhaden Boat Hearing Will Be at 2:30 Today ? Time Postponed From Yesterday ? Plaintiff's Attorney Wants Map in Court The hearing on menhaden boats at the Moore dock, Beaufort, was postponed from yesterday to 2:30 p.m. today. According to C. R. Wheatly, at torney for Mrs. Ann Duncan Brown, plaintiff seeking removal of the boats, the postponement was granted by Judge Clifton Moore at the request of Judge Luther Ham ilton, attorney for the Moores, who own the dock. Judge Hamilton said he could not be at the hearing yesterday af ternoon because he had to attend a funeral, according to Mr. Wheatly. The hearing will be held before Judge Moore in the Craven County courthouse. The hearing date has been changed twice. Residents in the vicinity of the Moore dock object to the boats tying in a residential area in violation, they allege, of the town zoning ordinance. Judge Moore signed an order Nov. 14 prohibiting the boats from docking there. The order was void ed later when the judge was in formed that papers were not served until Nov. 17. The hearing today is being held to give both plaintiff and defen dant in the case an opportunity to present evidence. On the basis of that evidence the judge is expected to rule on whether boats may dock at the Moore dock, located in front of the postoffice. Mayor C. T. Lewis was served a court order Saturday requiring him to present at the hearing the zoning map of the town. The map disappeared from the Beaufort town hall over the weekend. Mayor Lewia informed THE NEWS-TIMES that he gave the map to Leslie Moore and that either Mr. Moore or Mr. Moore's attorney had it. The map is part of the zoning, ordinance.

The me*ns of obtaining a competent study, as fast as possible, of the potential growth area of the More head City state port was a major topic at the meeting of the State Ports Authority yesterday afternoon at the Morehead Biltmore Hotel. At a meeting of highway offi cials, state ports officials. Conser vation and Development members and representatives of the Army engineers and Marine Corps, it was decided yesterday noon that such a study was the key to location of the future highway bridge. W. F. Rabcock, director of high ways, said that the State Highway and Public Works Commission could hold up plans on a new More head City drawbridge until about July 1, but hardly any longer than that since the present bridge is in bad shape. State ports officials expressed doubt that a study to show what di rection port development should take could be completed in six months. John Reeves, chairman of the SPA, said that his authority hopes to work out a 15 to 20-year plan for Morehead City port expansion. "We can't say at the moment which is the best way to go; it's an economical matter with us, as it is with the highway commis sion." The bridge to be replaced is lo cated across Newport River, con necting Morehead City on the west with the Beaufort-Morehead cause way on the east. It has been suggested, due to the probability of expansion of the Morehead City port which at pres ent lies south of the bridge, that the new highway bridge be built upstream, farther north, to permit more land area for industrial de velopment around the port. At present, port developers the highway bridge prevents pass age of large vessels to the north of the bridge, thus blocking off use of that land area. Running paral lel to the highway bridge is the Beaufort and Morehead railroad bridge. Involved in location of a bridge is depth of the channel which is maintained by the federal govern ment. In answer to a question by Kirkwood Adams, SPA member, Col. H. C. Rowland, district en gineer, said that he thought the fed eral government would look with favor on an "improved channel" if the port grows. Mr. Adams asked if the highway commission would be willing to go ahead with bridge plans, without waiting for the federal government to commit itself on channel im provements. Mr. Babcock said, "Our problem j is to find out what your problem j is in this bridge matter.

Mrs. Leslie (Sally) Moore, Moore's Motor Court, Atlantic Beach, informed THE NEWS TIMES Friday that she had re ceived a letter from the Azores. Mrs. Moore was secretary-treasur er of the Atlantic Beach Business men's Association which staged the "floating bottle" stunt in ob servance of the centennial in 1957.

(Each bottle con tained a dollar? two had hundred dollar bills ? and each bottle con tained the address of an Atlantic Beach business). The letter from the Azores, bear ing Portuguese stamps, was turned over to Mrs. Moore by Vernon Guthrie, Morehead City, who re ceived it. It follows: Nov. 1, 1958 This is from the Azores island of Pico, just six miles from the island where is a volcano who Is known all over the world. My boy, 6 years old. found a bottle while swimming with a dollar and this address on a piece of paper. 1 had not any chance to find someone to write. Now I took the opportunity of my neighbor next door, from New Bedford, Mass., visiting the island for a short time. My boy is anxious to go to USA, but no chance. We work very hard to have a poor living. What we can do? Just exist and nothing else, llopc this rcach you in short time and we can hear from you ajjain. Yours sincerely, Maria da Piedade Lima Canada de Franciuca Lao Loas Pico Azores The Azores are located in the Atlantic ocean about 850 miles west of Portugal.

Mr. Tcmplcton is on a tour of fisheries laboratories in this country. The purpose of his trip, sponsor ed by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, is to compare notes on the disposal of atomic waste into the sea. The United States and England are working closely on the prob lems involved and Mr. Tcmplcton says the countries share informa tion to avoid overlapping research. Mr. Tcmplcton began his tour at Chalk River, Canada, then came to Beaufort, via Woodshole, Mass., and John Hopkins University, Bal timore. He left Saturday enroute to Oak Ridge. From there he will go to labs in Florida. Washington state and Wisconsin before return ing home Dec. IS. Mr. Templeton, who is a grad uate of St. Andrew's University, Scotland, says that the biggest problem in disposal of radio active wastes in the sea is in getting ade q u a t e dilution and dispersion. There must not be enough radio active materials in one location to affect fish which may be eaten by man, he explains. This was Mr. Templeton's first trip to the United States. When asked for his first impression of the country he said. "I spent four days at ? tourist in New York. The thing that impressed me most was the way that life goes on around the clock. "Even in London, the largest city in the world, one has to walk for quite a distance to find a place open early in the morning. In New York the streets were alive at 3 and 4 o'clock.."
