:s= CARTERET COUNTY MEWS-TIMES '?< 49th YEAR, NO. 51. THREE SECTIONS TWENTY PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1960 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS SPA Renews Chilula Contract with USCG Renewed for another year is the+ contract between the United States Coast Guard and the State Ports Authority for the berthing of the Coast Guard cutter Chilula at the Morchead City state port D. Leon Williams, executive di rector of the State Ports Authority, told mayor George W. Dill, More head City, this week that the Chi lula will continue at its present berth and meanwhile the SPA will ready another berthing site for it. In April it was announced that the SPA was considering the can cellation of the lease with the Coast Guard, which would neces sitate removal of the Chilula. The Chilula, if it is stationed in More head City, must tie up at the state port, the only place where there is water of sufficient depth. Morchead City residents and of ficials. anxious to keep the Chilula at the Morchead City, proposed that the SPA prepare another berthing site at the western end of the east-west pier. At present the Chilula tics up at the south end (berth 3) of the north-south pier. This berthing site, the SPA said, was needed for grain ships. Re newal of the contract means that arrangements prevailing during the past year will continue, with the Chilula moving to other berths when it is necessary for a grain ship to be loaded. Mayor Dill said that he was ex tremely well pleased with the news that the Chilula will be ac commodated at the state port. Although the SPA claims that the rental it gets from the Coast Guard for the berth is insignifi cant in comparison to the amount of revenue it would receive from cargo ships, Morehead City con siders the buying power of Coast Guardsmen and their families im portant to the economy of the area. Highway Patrol Hopes to Reduce Accident Rate State highway patrolmen of Car teret arc ending this weekend the third of a series of four-day checks in a program to prevent accidents. The program started statewide on June 9 and continued through June 12. It was resumed June 16 and continued through this past Sunday. During that period Car teret patrolmen warned three pe destrians, made 13 arrests and checked 145 cars in the section on highway 70 from Mansfield Park to the eastern limits of Newport and in the five-mile section from high ways 24 and 70 west on highway 24. This same area will be under constant patrol surveillance through this Sunday. The patrol men are working in four-hour shifts. This program, known as Selec tive Enforcement Patrol, has been undertaken to make the public award of highway laws and the fact that they are being enforced. Early in 1960, the state's fatality record was 20 per cent lower than the 1959 statistics. But as of May 18, 1960, the 1960 record was only 12 per cent lower. The number of injuries from motor vehicle acci dents is 15 per cent greater this year than in 1959, reports C. R. Williams, director of the patrol en forcement division. The concentrated program to save life, prevent injuries and ac cidents centers on those highways throughout the state where acci dents frequently occur. Highway patrolmen in this coun ty are R. H. Brown, W. E. Pick ard, W. J. Smith and J. W. Sykes. Court Banishes Man from Beach In Atlantic Reich mayor's court Monday night Lee E. Jurgensan.

Governor Proposes County Industry Appreciation Days At the suggestion of Gov. I.uther llodgcv Moses Howard, chairman of Carteret county's board of com missioners, proposed Tuesday that Lhc North Carolina Association of County commissioners endorse and recommend to each county observ ance of an Industry Appreciation Day. Governor Hodges, addressing :ounty officials at Morehcad City it their S3rd annual convention, said, "A number of communities ind counties have, within the last few years, held Industry Appre ciation Days to indicate their ap preciation for the role their local industries have played in their eco nomic progress. I believe the lime has come for the entire state -all 100 counties? to join in such ? recognition." Mr. Howard's proposal was ap proved and sent to the board of directors for formal action. Governor Hodges spoke on the role the individual county can play in attracting industry. He urged county cooperation with towns. Relative to finances, the gover nor laid, "Industries will shy away from the county that cannot prove its financial stability. On the oth er hand, a county that establishes and maintains a sound fiscal rec ord, and has a record of equitable taxation, will rate high in the esti mation of the potential investor." The governor asked that coun ties not overlook the value of old established industries within their borders. "Since 1*4," he remark ed, "we have added roughly 100, 000 new jobs to the industrial pay roll. Approximately 40 per cent 01 them have resulted from the expansion of old industries." la conclusion, the governor said, "It has been a most gratifying ex perience to work with you during the past five and a half years? an experience that has, in many instances, encouraged me and given me confidence in my own efforts to contribute to the build ing of a irtore prosperous North Carolina." New officers of the county com missioners association arc Ben W. Haigh. Wake county, president; R. B. Jordan Jr., Montgomery coun ty, first vice-president; and Berry A.

Scheduled to be aired before judge Malcolm Paul last week in j superior court, the hearing never : came off. | (iene Smith, attorney reprcsent I ing persons in areas outside Beau fort who don't want to join the town, said that his clients have agreed to a hearing before judge W. J. Bundy, resident judge of this district, on a Saturday mutual ly convenient for the town of Beau fort and the petitioners (G. W. Huntley Jr. and others). Judge Bundy, in a prior hearing, upheld the petitioners who claim ed that the town of Beaufort was not complying with the law in its move to annex outlying areas by ordinance. In the hope of having the pend ing hearing before judge Paul, it was thought that the town was seeking a judge who might differ with judge Bundy and rule in favor of the town. Mr. Smith said this week that the hearing, scheduled for last week in superior court, has been "continued." When the two parties in the mat ter will get together for the hear I ing before judge Bundy is any I body's guess. The annexation problem has been brewing six I months.

No charges were filed against either driver by investigating of ficer Lt. Joe Smith of the More head City police department.

Ocracoke Announces Its Program for July Fourth By ALICE RONDTHALER Pony penning at 9 a.m. on Mon day, July 4, at Ocracoke will be one of the highlights of the day's events. Fifteen of the famous Outer Banks ponies belonging to Boy Seouts of America, Greenville Council, under trusteeship of the Ocracoke Boy Scouts, Troop 290, will be sold at public auction at the annual July 4th penning. Privately owned ponies will also be put up for sale. Round-up of the ponies will begin early Mon day morning, though not as early as in years past, since for the past year the herd has been fenced on National Park land about seven miles north of the Village, and the corral is a part of this area. Visitors to the Island for the July 4th holiday will have an op portunity to witness the penning and the sale. Following a tradition of many years, there will be a flag raising ceremony at the schoolhousc at 11:30 a.m., with a brief program. Immediately after will come the big July 4th dinner in the school library, sponsored annually by the Woman's Society of Christian Serv ice of the Methodist church. % Pro ceeds of the dinner arc used for the work of the society. Two old-time square dances, one on Saturday night, July 2. the oth er on Monday night, July 4, will be features of the weekend cclc bration. In past years there have also been other special events. These, if they materialize, will be announced later. The Ocracoke ponies to be sold are descendants of a long line of sturdy little horses which roamed the island in years past and at one time roamed the entire Outer Banks of North Carolina. Grad ually, to make place for encroach ing habitation, the ponies were sold off until about two years ago Ocracoke Island and Shackleford Banks were the only sections where they still ran wild. A year ago the Ocracoke herd was cut from 60 to about 45, 35 being the ones owned by the Boy Scout Troop. The plan of the troop committee is to reduce the herd this summer to 20, sincc it has be come necessary to provide better maintenance of the range. Eligible voters of the state are expected, to move in droves to the polls tomorrow. Whether they will, remains to be seen. C. Z. Chappell, chairman of the Carteret county board of elections, says a second primary never brings out voters in as heavy num ber as a first primary. In June, families arc on the move? vacationing. It's a staunch voter who plans his vacation around a second primary. Voters who change their residence for the summer seldom make the trip back home to vote. Especially in vacation areas, permanent residents feel that swimming, boating, fishing or pic nicking take precedence over cast ing a ballot. The first primary occurs in May, usually before schools arc out. Thus families are still anchored and the adults find , it easier to get themselves to the polls. Votes cast in this county in the May primary totaled 4,963, as compared with 3,565 in the 1954 gubernatorial election. A congres sional race involving Skinner Chalk, a Morehcad City candidate, heightened interest. Only four names will be on to morrow's ballot: for governor, Beverly Lake and Terry Sanford; for congressman, David Hender son and James Simpkins. The polls will open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 6:30 p.m. Everyone who is a Democrat and is registered for a general election is eligible to vote. Counters of ballots in the coun ty's 27 precincts are asked to phone in the vote tally to the sher iff's office, PA8-3772, as soon as possible after the polls close.
