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.

rines claim that they were hitch
hiking to Cherry Point when the
Newport youths, in two cars, stop
ped and jumped them.

Bunch said that the injuries prob
ably were inflicted by a heavy
stick.

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

Annexation
Hearing Yet
To be Reality
Still hanging in mid-air is the
; question of a hearing on the Beau
fort annexation issue.
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.
Two Cars Meet
On Highway 70
Two Morchead City men, Lloyd
Ojwar Crowe and Samuel Lee
i Hughes, were drivers of cars in
volved in an accident investigated
by Morehead City police Wednes

Damage to Crowe's car was esti
mated by police at $100 while that

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.
