CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES ,0' 48th YEAR, NO. 76. EIGHT PAGES ' MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFOBT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1959 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS H. S. Gibbs Jr. Appointed To Morehead School Group Auto Magazine Features Story On Highway Some of the very finest, (actual articles oil travel appear in the various magazines published and distributed by automobile manu facturing companies. Motor News, official publication of the Automobile Club of Michi gan, while not a manufacturer's magazine, is another such. Its September Issue contains an article, The Road That Beat the Sand Dunes, one of the very best on our Seashore Highway. It de scribes the highway from Nags Head to New Bern and the folks who live near it all year round. It was written by Len Barnes, associate editor of Motor News, a complete stranger to the Highway and one completely unaffected, odd as it may seem, by publicity ema nating from various sources along , the highway route. And, odder yet, from publicity that miracu lously flows from Morehead City's latter-day Barnum, Capt. Tony Seamon. The very last paragraph of Barnes' article is devoted to Tryon Palacc. The two preceding para graphs follow ill full: "The towns of Beaufort, More head City and New Bern lie at the lower end of this highway. Each has its fascination. The centuries old bouses of seafaring men in Beaufort retain the charm and flavor of the 18th century seacoast town, with narrow streets, plenty of trees with white houses tucked in between. "At Morehead City is one of the best seafood restaurants in the United States, with the unlikely name of 'Tony's Sanitary Fish Market and Restaurant.' Don't miss it We had some of the most flavorsome, sweet oysters, crab meat and soft shell crabs it has been our pleasure to taste here. Freshness of the food is guaran teed, because Tqny's is at water's edge, with docked fishing trawlers just outside its picture windows." Board to Meet The Beaufort board of commis sioners will meet at 7:30 tonight to hear the report of Williams and Wall, town auditors. At a recent meeting of the < Carteret County Board of Educa tion H. S. Gibbs Jr. was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Tru man Kemp Sr. on the Morehead City school committee.

' A special committer has decided to allow former Beaufort football coach Vernon Morrison to remain as bead coach at Taylorsville high school. The committee also de clared that the school'* football program, suspended since a play er's death, may be resumed under certain conditions. The Alexander County school board unanimously concurred in the findings of a five-man school committee which investigated the death of John Robert Johnson, a tackle who collapscd and died dur ing practice on Aug. 21. The conditions specified for the resumption of practicc are (1) no practice during especially hot and humid days, (2) the presence of a person trained in first aid who shall watch over the welfare of the play ers, (3) the securing of additional first aid equipment, as may be recommended by a physician, for treating players affected by heat, and (4) a meeting of parents, coaches, players and school offi cials to "re-evaluate the football program." The school committee said John son was a victim of his own "vol untary uncomplaining overexer tion" on an exceptionally hot day and: "It Is our opinion that Vernon Morrison is not guilty legally or morally for the death. "In our initial deliberations we concluded that Mr. Morrison is, to a great degree, the victim of cir cumstances in that many members of his football team had developed a dislike for him becsuse of his demands upon them and because of his prior dismissal of a teammate. "These circumstances led to de scription of events on the part of many football players that were out of proportion to the true intent of Mr. Morrison's statements and actions." The statement wat signed by chairman Don Sigmon and Percy Deal, William A. Land, Marvin Bcnefield and Baxter Hayes. Attends Conference The Rev.
