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. Mr. Kemp
is now doing business in South
Carolina and plans to make his
home there soon.
Trustees of the Harkers Island
Methodist Church requested per
mission to lease the Harkers Island
teacherage, adjoining the church
property. The boar<k agreed and
the lease is being drawn up.
H. L. Joslya, county school super
intendent, said the church will be
responsible for upkeep and insur
ance on the building and if, the
building is needed for school pur
poses the church will evacuate the
building within 30 days.
The board approved the school
treasurers working with the prin
cipals. Four treasurers are teach
ers and five are school secretaries.
The board passed an official re
solution that the meeting be held
at 9:30 a. m. every first Monday.
Two Persons Hurt
In Wreck Saturday
Two persons were injured in a
head-on collision Saturday night at
11:15 three miles west of Newport.

ing to highway patrolman W. ?.

English Woman Visits Relatives
Here on First American Visit
The charming Lady of Benthall
in Shropahire, England, Mrs. Mary
Clementina Benthall, waa a visitor
in Beaufort last week. She is tour
ing the United States visiting re
latives that she has never seen
before.
Mrs. Benthall only recently dis
covered that she has relatives in
the United States and the spry
octogenarian decided to couple
her first trip to America with a
reunion with her many relatives
on this side of the Atlantic. While
in Beaufort Mrs. Benthall stayed
with Mrs. Frances Boone, a first
cousin. Another cousin, Mrs. J. W.
Dickey, met Mrs. Benthall at
Idlewild airport in New York City
after Mrs. Benthall had crossed
the Atlantic on a BOAC jet liner.
Mrs. Beatkall, who was born in
London, has spent the last 25 years
of her life living in Benthall Hall,
which dates back to the 11th cen
tury. The thousand-year old trad
itional home of the Benthalls is a
one-time feudal castle, situated
It upon a 400-foot high plateau, over
looking the Severn river aa it
plunges downward on a 100-mile
course to the Sea of Wales.
The 50-room castle of oaken tim
bers and estate quarried limestone
is listed in the Domesday Book as
having been built in 1069. It was
later rebuilt in 1535 during the
reign of Henry VUI.
An excellent example of the
early Renaissance period, the hall
is mainly built at local stone with
* stone muilion, leaded light windows
and moulded brick chimneys. The
interior has a finely carved oak
ataircase, decorated plaster ceiling,
carved oak ornamentals and the
Mth Century oak paneling.
The caatle has only recently been
donated by Mrs. Benthall to the
National Trust of England, a histor
ical society which will make a
national shrine out of the castle.
Mrs. Benthall presently lives there
alone with two servants and a gar
dener. Her husband, James Floyer
Benthall, died in 1M2.
Besides her relatives, located in
eight northeastern North Carolina
towns, Mrs. Benthsil plans to also
visit people in Ohio, Michigan,
I New York City and Hartford, Conn.
; before returning to England next
Mn. Miry tenth all, rifM, of Shropshire, England, (pent part o(
last week viiHtal la the home of Mn. France* Boone, left. Mrs.
BenthaH came to the United Statea recently In visit some relatives
whom she had never seen before.
Asked for her impressions of the
United States, Mrs Benthall said
that she was impressed moat by
the miles and miles of woodlands
and forests which she has seen. A
botany enthusiast, Mrs. Benthall
has alwaya, until recently, main
tained beautiful flower arrays
around Benthall Hall. She added
that the number of white bouses
she sees everywhere she goes has
alao impressed her very favorably.
lie Wyear old world traveller,
who has lived during the reign at
four different monarch! in England,
aaid that with her trip to the
United State* the hat now visited
every continent with the exception
of New Zealand. She was quick to
add that she expected to make the
tiny country her next trip.
When aiked to select the high
light at her American visit Mrs.
Benthall said, "the kind and gener
ous hospitality with which I have
been received by my relatives here
has made the trip more than worth
white."

' 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.
