Greenville Man Drowns After Helping S wimmers State Property Officers Confer In Beaufort F. B. Turner, state property of ficer, and Parks H. Icenhour, real property attorney, Raleigh, went by boat to Peanut shoal and Town Marsh, across from Beaufort, Thursday afternoon to view land in dispute. A disagreement has arisen be tween John Yarnell, Raleigh, who owns 42 acres of Town Marsh land, and the town. Since recent law has placed "made land," such as land built by dredging, in the hands of a state land office, the state enters into the picture and is expected to ren der a decision. Accompanying the state officers on the trip were J. O. Barbour Jr., representing the Beaufort Mer chants association; C. R. Wheatly Jr., town attorney; Ronald Earl Mason, town clerk; Mr. Yarntll, and his attorney, George W. Ball, Morejiead City. Mr. Yarnell alleges that Town Marsh joins Peanut shoal and therefore spoils that have been drr.'.ged up on Peanut shoal join his land. He is requesting that the state assess the value of the prop erty, which extends east to Gor don street, and permit him to buy it. The town of Beaafort contends that the fill does not join Yarnell's Town Marsh property, but joins with Peanut (hoal which wis deed ed in 1913 to the town. Mr. Barbour said it appears that each claimant, the town and Mr. Yarnell, wijl have to present e*i deuce supporting his claim. He said he and senior citizens of Beaufort well remember that there was a deep channel around Pea nut shoal, which doe< not exist now. The channel separated Town Marsh and Peanut shoal. Mr. Bar bour stated that old charts indi cate there was such a channel. The town board in May 1950 sttaed that it had no objection to Mr. Yamdell's acquiring land built up adjacent to his. Firemen Called Beaufort firemen answered an alarm at 6:25 p.m. Sunday at the Ann Street Esso service station where fire broke out in a grease pit being cleaned by workmen at the station. One truck was dis patched to the scene and the blate was quickly extinguished. No one was in the pit at the time of the fire. ? Funeral services for Jack Bar rett of Greenville, who drowned Sunday at Money Island near At lantic Beach, will be conductcd Thursday at 10:30 a.m. in Green ville. Barrett drowned Sunday afternoon while trying to save two persons in trouble in the surf. Coroner W. D. Munden reports that James B. Edwards, who was with Barrett at the beach for the weekend, gave this account of the accident: Edwards and Barrett were walk ing along the beach in the vicinity of Sportsman's Pier when they heard cries for help. Several per sons had gotten ton far out in the water and some wen having trou ble getting back to shore. The two men went into the water and helped several to safety. Ed wards said he tired and headed for shore himself. He said he begged Barrett to go ashore too, but Bar rett remained in the water. Upon reaching the shore, Ed wards and another person took an inflated raft and went to get Bar rett. Edwards reported that Bar rett was floating in the water and was unconscious when they put him on the raft. On shore artificial respiration was administered and the resusci tator from Atlantic Beach was used. The Morehead City rescue squad was also called.

County Takes First Step On Hospital Bond Voting Work Proceeds on Ferry Slip At Bayshare Park near Boguf, the ferry that Is to run between the Carteret mainland and Emerald late Uet at the dock, right. Its landing place on Emerald Isle can be seen through the pilings In the left of the picture, a white mound of sand against the trees. A dragline is at work there now and doiphina have been put in.

All-Seashore Group Will Request State to Operate Ferry at Atlantic , Truman Kemp Speaks to Club Traasn Kemp, president and general msasger of Ctrleret In duitric* Inc., was the tut ft speak er Thursday night it the meeting tt the Morebead City Rotary club. Mr. Kemp traced the evolution of the garment industry, at the lilHi'of the twentieth century, hma the gfece-work 'sweatshops' to tile modern factory buildings of today that have spread through the southern states. The noted the Impact of steam and electrical power, new and im proved machines, specialization of the individual operation! of mak ing garments, leading to the tre mendous gains in production. Mr. Kemp told Rotariana that Carteret Industries now employs 87 persons, with a possible near future capacity of 100-110 employ ees from the Newport, Mill Creek, Wildwood and Broad Creek areas. The new plant opened in May. It is located on the Nine-Foot road near Newport. Visiting Rotarlans were R. L. Bender, Pollocksville; Jack Sin clair, Jacksonville; snd Walter -Ruckcr, Greensboro. Woody Shock ley, nephew of Stanley Woodland, attended as a guest. Letters will go out from the All Seashore Highway association this week, seeking support of eastern Carolina towns and civie groups in asking the state to take over op eration of the ferry between At lantic and Ocracoke. J. A. DuBois, secretary of the All-Seashore Highway association, said the heavy traffic over the fer ry this summer has proved its value. The All-Seashore Highway association feels the state should take over operation, which would mean that the trip would be free; algo ?dd more ferries. kill at the ferry landing at ei ther Ocracoke or Atlantic an hour prior to sailing time does not as sure passage, Mr. DuBois said. Some cars have been left behind and this delays travelers a day on their trip. The cars arc taken aboard the ferry on a first-come basis. Get ting passage this summer has been so difficult at Atlantic that cars park in line the night before the ferry leaves, the travelers rent rooms in and around Atlantic and Sea Level, and then go back to their cars at about 7 the next morning when tickets for the ferry passage go on sale. The cars are loaded aboard the ferry in the order that they stand in line. During July the Atlantic-Ocra cokc ferry carried 1,141 cars and 3,882 persons, according to records kept by ranger Hazen Brooks of the National Park Visitors centcr, Ocracoke. In July the Hattcras-Ocracoke ferry carried 7,171 cars, 2,000 more than (or the same month last year. (Both ferries arc on the north south seashore route). It has been suggested that steps be taken to dock the Ocracoke-At lantic ferry at Cedar Island and thus cut off an hour of the cross ing time now necessary. This was the plan before the ferry was built but it was abandoned when it was believed that a channel would be too difficult to keep open at Cedar laland. PetiUoas are now being circu lated to have highway 70, which ends at Atlantic, extended to Cedar Island, Mr DuBois reports. North Carolina All-Seashore high way interests arc cheered by an announcement that the state of Virginia will build a {200 million series of bridges across Chesa peake Bay between Norfolk and Kiptopeke beach. This will open Virginia and North Carolina beaches, they say, to the teeming millions from the metro politan areas of the middle Atlan tic statea and New England, and make an All-Seashore highway a must. Dutch Crewman Hurt During Swim in Sound Johannes J. DcWitt, crewman aboard the Dutch ship Sommels dyk, suffered a cracked vertebra Sunday afternoon while swimming with other crew members in Bogue Sound near AUantic Bcach. DcWitt apparently dived head first into shallow water. The crewmen had gone to the sound in a small boat from the Sommelsdyk, which was loading to bacco at the state port. After D? Witt was injured he was put aboard the small boat, taken U> the port and put aboard the Sommels dyk. From there he was taken by Dill ambulance to the hospital. It was reported yesterday that he may be in the hospital as long as six weeks. The Sommelsdyk sailed yester day for Europe. ? The first step toward a vote on a million dollar hospital bond issue has been taken by the county. Appearing in today's issue of THE NEWS-TIMES is a legal no tice of the intention of the county to ask approval for issuing the bonds. Approval must be given by the Local Government commis sion. ! If the commission approves, and all other legal requirements are met, Carteret voters would say yes or no on the bond issue at the polls Nov. 8. The million dollars would be used to build a hospital and ac quire land for it, if necessary. Purpose of the legal notice in today's paper is to invite persons objecting to the bond issue to file, in writing, their objections with the !,ocal Government commission. Raleigh. A copy of the statement must also be filed with OdeU Merrill, I clerk to the board of county com missioners, Beaufort. Both state ments must be filed by Aug. 26. The Local Government commis sion will consider the statement in determining whether to hold a pub lic hearing on issuing the bonds. County commissioners, by a vote of 4 to 1, agreed in May to put the hospital bond program before the people. The commissioners were requested to do so in April by staff members of the Morehead City hospital and other citizens.
