Construction work on the new
concrete bridge spanning North
River is well under way. This new
structure will replace a wooden
bridge, built and rebuilt oyer the
years since 1920 when the first
bridge was erected. It was dur
ing that year that Carteret County
started an extensive program of
road and bridge building, especial
ly in the eastern section.
For many years a small bridge,
connected by a sandy lane, some
distance up stream from the pres
ent one, helped the people on the
east side of North River to. reach
the county seat and outside com
munities. This road followed a cir
cuitous route over both the uppor
branches of Wards Creek and
North River, coming out on the
Merrimon road about opposite the
present Laurel road.
The summer and fall of 1920
found the qoad and bridge work in
full swing under the supervision
of Charles W. Thomas who had
been appointed road supervisor by
the county commissioners. No
hard surfaced roads were built at
this time. Such connecting links
from settlement to settlement that
had served as roads or trails of
deep sand, were graded and built
up with oyster sheila and gravel.
Attention was first given to four
main roads. The supervisor was
instructed to start work on the
road from Atlantic to Beaufort,
Beaufort to liarlowe, Bogue to
Stella and Straits to Bettie. Along
with the road work went the con
struction of needed bridges over
North River, the Clubfoot Canal
at Harlowe and the White Oak
River at Stella.
The largest bridge project was
that over North River. The new
site selected, which is the present
one, required a span of over one
quarter mile, not including the ap
proaches. The first plan called
for a width of 10 feet but before
work was started, the width was
increased to 16 feet. In the center
of the bridge was an 8-foot rise or
"hump" above the main level to al
low small boats traffic back and
forth.
This bridge was built by The
Guthrie Brothers of Morehead City
for the contract price of $14.50 per
running foot. To reach the new
bridge a new road was built from
the Merrimon road into the sev
eral small communities on the
east side of the river. This same
firm built the bridges at Harlowe
and Stella. The Harlowe bridge
over the Clubfoot Canal was of
unusual construction, known as a
rolling draw. It was double the
length of the span it had to cover,
half of the structure acting as a
counter weight. Mounted on rails

Angel Street Gets New
?
Season Off to Good Start
By ELINORE STONE
On Saturday evening the Carteret
Community Theatre got off to what
promises to be its best season yet,
if last week's performance is 1
equalled by following plays.
* The offering was Angel Street,
which in past years was a vehicle ;
for several top professional stars. ,
In many respects, the production of
the Community Theatre did not suf
fer by comparison. As directed by ;
Jimmy Wheatley, the performance ,
was really excellent.
The staging was pleasing; the 1
properties and costumes authentic
ft* the historical period. The old ]
makeshift settings have been re
placed by new flats and effective j
lighting devices. The olive drab j
background of the flats was warm- ,
ed by drapes in blending shades of |
deep rose and pink.
And the acting was excellent.
John Wagner, as Jack Manning- I
ham, the criminal husband, offer
ed a more robust ? perhaps less t
quietly sinister ? impersonation |
than did the actor I saw in the role ,
some years ago. But it was his ,
?own interpretation, and he put it
across forcefully. I
Bill Davis, as Inspector Rough, ;
played a difficultly melodramatic ,
role with humor, but also with con- j
vincing sincerity. ,
Georgette Beaver, as Elizabeth, !
the sympathetic housekeeper, got 1
her effects with subtly varied in
tonations of speech and barely per
ceptible gestures.
Anne Marie Lewis, as Nancy, the
Dippant and slightly amoral maid,
was delightfully graceful and pert.
Tom Respess and Wayne King, as
Scotland Yard Bobbies, put on a
convincing scramble in arresting
Manningham.
I have not listed the characters
in order of their appearance be
cause 1 am saving lor special no
tice the one which made the great
est tax upon the actor:
Ruth Durham, as Bella Manning
ham, the persecuted and haunted
wife, gave an exceptionally expert
impersonation. Her rendering of
her lines was delicately varied. Her
every movement made a graceful
picture whether in hysterical action
ar stilled in despair. Her hands
were at once frantically and gent
ly expressive.
I am not recording my own im
pressions of the play only, but
those of many of the audience with
whom 1 talked, all of whom were
enthusiastic.
Much credit for the success of the
play should go to Tressa Vickers
ind Lillian Giddens, .for staging;
lean Holt, for properties; Arlcne
Mohler, for make up; Frank Carl
ton, for lighting effects; Ruth
Deyo, for costumes; and Joyce
Lewis, as prompter.
? An interesting description of In
dian artifacts, found along the
shore of Core Sound, was given by
John S. MacCormack of Atlantic
at the fall meeting of the Carteret
County Historical Society in Beau
fort Saturday afternoon.
From his vast assortment of
artifacts gathered during the past
four years, Mr. MacCormack ex
hibited fine specimens of both In
dian and early white settlers. All
shown had been examined, titled
and dated by the Smithsonian In
stitute's Department of Ethnology.
Many of the Indian artifacts, ac
cording to the institution, date
back to the 17th and 18th centuries.
Those of the white settlers show
a later date. Such specimens were
found in the banks along the sound
near the MacCormack home at At
lantic. The location of Atlantic is
on part of the Indian Hunting
Quarter, at one time their chief
source of game and furs.
G. M. Paul who heads the organ-,
ization formed to celebrate an his
torical event in Beaufort next year,
gave a tentative outline of the proj
ect, asking the cooperation of the
society. To work with the Beau
fort organization a committee was
appointed: J. S. MacCormack,
Mrs. Nat Smith, Mrs. Luther Ham
ilton Sr., and A. D. Ennett.
The meeting marked the begin
ning of the sixth year of the socie
ty. Officers serving the past year
were reelected: F. C. Salisbury,
president, Mrs. E. G. Phillips, sec
retary, Mrs. Luther Hamilton Sr.,
treasurer, and Miss Amy Muse,
curator.
During the social hour, dough
nuts and coffee were served by the
hostesses, Mrs. T. T. Potter,' Mrs.
G. M. Paul and Mrs. Horace Lof
ton. Members and guests number
ing forty attended. Mr. Salisbury
presided.

Mrs. E. C. McLawhorn
Named Woman-of-Year
Mrs. E. C. McLawhorn, presi-4
dent of the Harlowe Home Dem
onstration Club, was named worn
an-of-the-year at the Home Dem
onstration achievement program
Friday night at the N. F. Eure
building, Beaufort.
Mrs. McLawhorn, who was show
ered with gifts, is county crafts
leader, a member of the county
adult committee for 4-H, and is ac
tive in church and community af
fairs. Her selection vas woman of
the year was announced by Moses
Howard, chairman of the county
board of commissioners.
The speaker for the evening was
Mrs. Corinne Grimsley, specialist
in family relations, from Raleigh.
Mrs. Dyon Simpson, president of
the Home Demonstration County
Council, presided. Mrs. G. T. Spiv
ey gave the welcome and the Rev.
A1 Daniel the invocation. The re
port on the year's activities was
presented by Mrs. Joyce Shrake.
Miss Josie Pigott collected pen
nies for friendship and Mrs. Floy
Garner, home economics agent,
gave the perfect attendance
awards.
Merrimon Club won the gavel for
travelling the longest distance with
the most members. Musical num
bers were presented by the Glou
cester chorus. A1 Hubbard, a mem
ber of the chorus, sang The Lord's
Prayer.
Mrs. R L. Searle introduced
Mrs. Grimsley. The speaker said
that "mother-in-law trouble" is no
myth. Statistics show that moth
er-in-laws are the cause of most
trouble in families.
She mentioned three ways of
strengthening family ties:
? Encourage family rituals, such
as celebration of birthdays and
holidays.
? Be consistent in family disci
pline. The mother and father's
agreeing on points of discipline is
important.
? Show love and affection toward
family members.
She warned women against try
ing to remold their husbands into
what the wives think a husband
should be. Mrs. Grimsley said
most women would be wiser to
make themselves over than try to
remold soircf^ne else.
"A good wife," she remarked,
"makes the best husband."
Everyone she continued, needs
to be accepted, approved and ap
preciated.
She mentioned the following as*
obstacles to happiness: anger, ill
ness, anxiety, sorrow, criticism, re
jection, tiredness, nervousness,
temptation, resentment, discour
agement, disappointment and frus
tration.
Everyone is his own biggest
problem, Mrs. Grimsley said. She
said that each one could improve if
? We accept ourselves as impor
tant people
? Accept others as important
people
? Accept time in terms of today
The program followed a covered
dish supper. One hundred twenty
five attended.

130 Attend Fall
Meeting of Bird
Club in This Area
One hundred thirty persons at
tended the fall meeting of the
North Carolina Bird Club over the
weekend at the Morehead Biltmore
Hotel. Some of the registrants
were from other states along the
eastern seaboard.
Formal sessions ended Saturday
night. A field trip to Camp Bryan
between Morehead City and New
Bern Sunday morning, followed by
a visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Conderman, New Bern, high
lighted Sunday's activities. Club
members were also invited to visit
Tryon palace Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Edna Lanier Apptoberry,
Wilmington, president of the club,
presided at Friday night's meet
ing. George Ball, Morehead City,
member of the club, introduced Dr.
Ben Royal, who told of the late
Capt. John E. Lewis, Morehead
City, and his two gulls.
In 1889, Dr. Royal related, Cap
tain Lewis captured two gulls, a
male and female. They headquar
tered in his chicken yard, the first
time that any gulls, according to
known records, had submitted to
captivity.
They mated and for the first nine
years raised a brood. After that,
the male broke his leg, and al
though the female continued to lay
eggs, the eggs never hatched be
cause they were not fertile, Dr.
Royal said. She produced eggs for
41 years.
This was the first time, too, ac
cording to bird experts, that her
ring gulls had nested south of Nan
tucket. When the birds died, Dr. j
Royal skinned them and sent the
skins to Dr. Gilbert Pierson, noted
ornithologist, for mounting.
Dr. Royal brought to the meet
ing his "pot hunter's gun," a gun
that used to be used by hunters
who shot wildfowl for market. The
gun weighed 22 pounds. It was a
four-gauge muzzle-loader, double
barreled with hammer lock.
Fired into a flock of ducks, it
would drop 25 to 30 at one time.

Police Pick Up
Marine, Charge
Him with Peeping
Richard Max Stone, 23, a Marine
stationed at Cherry Point, was ap
prehended by the Morehead City
police department Sunday night in
the vicinity of the 2800 block of
Evans Street after a woman had
notified police of "a peeping torn"
at 2804 Evans St., an apartment
house.
Lt. Joe Smith of the police de
partment said that Stone was pick
ed up shortly after the call wa *
received. The woman who made
the call identified Stone as the per
son she saw window-peeping at a
house across the alley from her.
Stone has been released under
bond, posted by the Marine Corps,
and will stand trial Monday in re
corder's court.
Opinions
Expressed
Eight civic leaders were contact
ed yesterday for their opinions on
today's bond referendum.
Mrs. A. B. Roberts, Morehead
City, district president of the Fed
erated Woman's Clubs, said, "I am
in favor of the bond issue as an
overall program. It is certainly a
step forward for our state. 1 think
all of us should support it."
Mrs. D. F. Merrill, Beaufort, ac
tive in the state's Democratic wo
men's organization, said she was
not in favor of the bond issue if it
would mean an increase in state
taxes. "I think the objectives are
good,'' she remarked, "if we can
borrow the money without addi
tional tax."
State senator Luther Hamilton,
Morehead City, explained, "The
proposal does not call for any in
creased taxes. Our last legislature
authorized this bond election to
make provision for the funds in or
der that taxes might NOT have to
be raised to meet our needs.
"It is my confident feeling that
we should vote in favor of each and
every one of the issues before us,
and that we should try to make our
vote as impressive as possible.
Surely," the senator said, "we can
take out of our busy day a few
minutes to go to the polls to ex
press ourselves on these very im
portant public issues."
David Jones, president of Beau
fort Rotary Club, said, "I'm very
much in favor of borrowing the
money. It will be a step forward.
Taxation may have been the an
swer, but if this is the only way we
can get these improvements, I'd

Two auto accidents occurred Sat
urday, one east of Beaufort, and
one west of Morehead City. Both
were investigated by J. W. Sykes,
highway patrolman.
At 9:20 a m in front of the East

driven by Mrs. Barbara W. Thom
as, Harkers Island, crashed into
the rear of a 19SS Ford pickup
truck driven by Mrs. Mary L. Gil
likin, route 1 Beaufort.

No one was hurt in either acci
dent. Charges are pending in both.
Mayor, Sewer Committee Clarify
Reason for Session Wednesday Night
Coast Guard
Gives Two Assists
Fort Macon Coast Guardsmen
made two assists over the week
end.
On Saturday evening at 8:23 the
30 and 40-foot boats went to the
aid of the Terry II, a cabin cruiser
aground in Bogue Sound. The ves
sel was refloated and the men re
turned to Fort Macon at 11:20 p. m.
Crew of the 40-footer was Charles
Gaskill, BM1, and Linton Williams,
EN2. Aboard the 30-footer were
Hastle Baber, BM2, and Kodncy
Gaskill, FN.
The same men picked up a 16
foot outboard at Shacklcford Banks
Sunday morning. They found the
boat in the breakers off Shacklc
ford at 10 a. m. and took it to the
Coast Guard Station.
The fishermen who were in it
were ashore at Shackleford and
had been picked up by other fish
ermen earlier and taken to the
Coast Guard station.
Very strong southwest winds
caused extremely rough water.
Two outboard motorboats were re
ported to have turned over in Beau
fort inlet but this report was not
confirmed by the Coast Guard.
Mayor W. H. Potter, Beaufort,
reported Saturday that members
of the Hancock Park sewer com
mittee met with him and Gray
Hassell, town engineer, Wednesday
night at the mayor's request, not
at the request of the Hancock Park
sewer committee.
Mayor Potter said that for years,
and especially prior to and after
the annexation referendum Oct. 10,
he had heard that Hancock Park
folks were interested in what would
happen with their privately-owned
sewer system, if their area be
came a part of the town.
To exchange information, the
mayor said he requested Ralph
Leister, chairman of the Hancock
Park sewer committee, and his
committer members to meet Wed
nesday night at the town hall. At
tending the meeting were Mr. Leis
ter, George Herbert, Charles Bell
and Thurman Salter.
Mayor Potter explained that
Leigh Wilson of the League of Mu
nicipalities informed him that if
the town annexes Hancock Park
and makes use of the sewer sys
tem, the owners of the system
should be reimbursed at a fair
price.
The sewer committee members,
who said their phones were ring
ing constantly after Friday's news
story o < the Wednesday meeting,
emphasize that they were not rep
resenting residents of Hancock
Park, bat were only discussing the
?ewer system with town officials.
They wanted to be prepared to ex
plain to Hancock Park residents
about the sewer system and what
the town would do, should Beau
fort annex the area by ordinance.
The Beaufort town board met in
special session last night to discuss
enlargement of the town and study
maps. Mayor Potter said that he
would recommend that the town
commissioners make no move to
annex any territory until people in
the proposed areas are in a more
receptive frame of mind.
The vote on the matter was de
cidedly against new areas' becom
ing a part of the town.
Mayor Potter says that his at
titude toward annexation by ordi
nance was altered after discussion
of the matter with Mr. Wilson, who
attended the Oct. 13 meeting of the
town board. Mayor Potter ex
pressed his appreciation for Mr.
Wilson's service to the board.
Becaase of last night's meeting,
the board will not meet the first
Monday as usual. The November
meeting has been scheduled for
Monday night, Nov. t.
