? More than luo Morehead CItjM
business and professional men and
women attended the annual mem
bership dinner of the Morehead
City Chamber of Commerce Thurs
day night at the recreation build
ing.
Members and guests heard fea
tured speaker Curtis E. Long of
Winston-Salem who talked on the
potential that the area of Morehead
City and Atlantic Beach presents
for one of the finest year-round re
sort areas north of the Florida
coast.
Calling Morehead and Atlantic
Beach the all-family,^!! facility
and all-fun vacation spoTwr. i,ong
said that the over-abundance of
natural resources here gives the
area the possibility of greatly sur
passing such popular resorts as
Myrtle Beach and Carolina Beach.
"Nature," said Mr. Long, "has
supplied Morehead City and Atlan
tic Beach with every facility for the
perfect beach resort. There is both
deep sea and sound fishing, there
is the broad expanse of beaches,
there are the boating facilities, the
banks, the inland waterway and
the colorful history and legends of
Fort Macon.
"What other area on the entire
Carolina Coast can match these na
tural gifts?" said the advertising
executive. "But," he continued,
"it sometimes seems like we're
too close to the water to see the
ocean."
mi. uuiik, in ur^ina uk Duainesfi
and professional people of the town
to take advantage of the potential
and develop into the state's finest
beach area, said, "Think big."
Mr. Long accompanied his talk
with copies of a report of an in
formal survey he conducted in
Winston-Salem before coming to
Morehead City. The reason for
the survey was to attempt to de
termine just how much people in
the western part of the state knew
of the Morehead City-Atlantic
Beach area.
Of the 100 people questioned by
Mr. Long in the study, 68 per cent
of them said that they visited an
ocean beach in 1959 Of these, 35
per cent visited Myrtle Beach;
16.5 per cent visited a Florida
beach and 13.3 per cent visited Car
olina Beach. The percentage com
ing to Morcbead-Atlantic Beach
was 6.7.
From the standpoint of overall
family appeal, 51 per cent of the
respondents placed Myrtle Beach
in first place while 10.5 per cent
placed Morehead-Atlantic Beach in
first place.
One of the questions asked in the
survey was, "Which of the follow
ing words do you associate most
with Morehead City?" swimming,
relaxing, sightseeing, fishing, boat
ing, port. Eighty per cent of those
questioned said fishing was the

Almost i hundred dollar* and
several merchandise items were
stolen Saturday night from the Co

urday and daylight Sunday. It was

through a screened-in area at the

the door into the back to the store
itself was opened by removing the
lock. In the office, the dial on the
safe was knocked off and marks on
the safe showed where tools had
been used to try to crack it open.
The thieves helped themselves to
gloves in the store, so that they 1
would leave no fingerprints. They 1
also took to Bradley travel alarm '
clocks and a lady's wrist watch
with a black strap, Captain Bunch i
reported.

Eagles Bow 14-6 in Classic;
First Beaufort Win Since '51
By BILL KIRK <
The end of an eight-year reign as ruler of the Mul
let Bucket series came Friday night for Morehead
City at 10:02 when Beaufort high school Seadogs
outplayed, outhustled and outscored the Eagles 1 4-6
to register their first win since 1951 over their cross
river rivals. *
The Seadogs struck for touchdowns in the second
and fourth quarters while the Eagles could manage
only one tally late in the third period.
Between 3,800 and 4,000 football fans jammed the
Beaufort gridiron to witness the important clash. After a
pre-game presentation by the Morehead City band, Beau
fort won the toss and elected to receive. The kick was
taken by Seadog quarterback Butch Hassell on his own
35-yard line and the senior signal-caller returned the
ball to the Eagle 42 yard line. ?
On their first series of plays the I
Seadogs rolled for three straight
first downs before being halted by
the Eagle defense. House carried
for 10 yards up the middle; Ray
Hassell added seven through the
same hole, Butch Hassell then hit
David Jones with a pass that cov
ered seven yards. House bucked
for five and Taylor got three on a
wide sweep, Taylor added two more
up the middle and Butch Hassell
got one on a quarterback sneak to
give the Seadogs third down and
eight yards to go. On the next play
Eddie Taylor was stopped for a
yard loss on a draw play and the
Seadogs were forced to punt.
After taking the kick Morchead
City was unable to advance Lhe
ball against the hard charging line
of the Big Green and after running
three plays they found themselves
exactly three yards back of where
they started. Nolan lost two yards,
then McQueen lost one and on the
next play Nolan was stopped for no
gain. While the Eagle offense was
failing to roll they were kept out
of trouble by the quick-kicking of
Ernest Lewis. Not taking any
chances of letting the Seadogs get
within striking distance of the goal
line the Eagles called on Lewis to
quick-kick on third down twice dur
ing the first period.
The Eagles made their first gain
from the scrimmage line on their
second series of plays when Mc
Queen picked up four yards. Jackie
ivas stopped dead on the next play
though and then Gary Guthrie was
thrown for an eight-yard loss on
in attempted reverse to call in
Lewis to kick.
The Seadogs took the kick and
after Butch Hassell had hit David '
(ones with a 22-yard aerial they
lad to punt themselves, as two
>ther passes fell incomplete. The 1
'irst quarter ended with the Sea- 1
logs in possession of the ball. 1
Beaufort lost the ball on downs
0 open the second quarter when
1 fourth down pass fell incomplete.
\ftcr Jackie McQueen had been
hrown for a five-yard loss, Lewis
igain quick-kicked.
The remainder of the second
luarter was spent in punt ex
changes by the two teams as in
complete passes and penalties nul- I
ificd any penetrations. 1
