Chairmen Named
Hopes of establishing i 4-H sum
mer camp in Carteret hinge large
ly on finding a site.
Carteret residents interested In
4-H work and the proposed 4-H
Foundation met Thursday at the
country club to discuss the camp.
They arc interested in having a site
donated. Other possibilities of ob
taining a site are also being con
sidered.
No ocean-front site is wanted.
The site should preferably be on
a sound, river or lake, according
to Earl Lewis, chairman of the
county unit of the 4-H development
program. Others assisting Mr.
Lewis are Walter Teich, chairman
of special gifts, and Mrs. G. T.
Spivey, chairman of the general
fund-raising committee.
The immediate major objectives
of the program are scholarships
and 4-H camp sites. Carteret has
been termed ideal at ? camp loca
tion.
The camp would accommodate
ISO bo.vs and girls a week for a
period of 10 weeks during the sum
mer. The 4-H'ers would come from
all parta of the state. The camp
facilitiea would also be available
for otfter activities -throughout the
year.
At least 25 acres of land alt
needed. Money would then be re
quired for constructing the camp.
J. A. DuBois, manager of the
chamber of commerce, is enthu
siastic about the possibilities.
Mr. DuBois said that a camp at
tracts a lot of other income to an
area. For example, he already has
received letters from two families
who want to rent cottages here
while their sons attend Camp
Morchead.
Attending Thursday's meeting, in
addition to Mr. DuBois, Mr. Lewis
and Mr. Teich were W. H. Potter,
Dr. Russell Outlaw and Moses
Howard.

Present Morehead City
Facilities Inadequate
A program to raise $500,000 for construction of a new
Morehead City Hospital has been endorsed by the hospital
trustees, medical and nursing staff.
The campaign will get under way "in the immediate
future", announces A. B.- Roberts, chairman of the More
head City Hospital board of trustees.
If $500,000 can be raised over a two to three-year
period, hospital officials and town officials propose apply
ing for $750,000 from the federal government under the
Hill-Burton law.
This legislation permits the federal government to fur
nish 60 per cent of a total hospital cost, with the commun
ity furnishing 40. The new hospital would be a $114 m'l
lion plant.
The Morehead City Hospital is a town-owned institu
tion, but persons concerned over the crowded conditions at
the hospital and lack of modern facilities feel that $500,
000 may be raised more easily by voluntary contribution
than Kir flnaiinrt Knnrls onH raivintf 4
the tax rate.
At present, 10 cents of the town's
tax rate is levied for the hospital
and all of the town's liquor store
revenue is turned over to the hos
pital.
Town and hospital officials have
conferred with the State Medical
Care Commission relative to the
hospital needs in Morehead City.
The Medical ,Carc Commission,
which must pass on all hospital
construction in the state, has stated
that it is not advisable to attempt
to add to or renovaU the present
hospital on Shepard Street.
The commission has advised a
completely new plant, according
to Mr. Roberts, on a site consist
ing of 15 to 20 acres, situated be
yond the present town limits. If
that plan materializes, the present
hospital property would be offered
for sale.
To publicise Use building fund
campaign, and to tyise money,
ttocras, nurses anil Others allied
with hospital operation will under
take a home-made salted peanut
sales program.
The nuts will be bagged in 10
cent bags and in one-pound plastic
