This is the recently-built National Guard armory at Smithfield, which was
built at a cost slightly less than the estimated total cost, $135,040, of the proposed
Morehead City armory. Seventy-five per cent of armory cost will be borne by the
federal government and 12’,4 per cent by the state. Ballots in tomorrow’s referen
dum will give the town authority to borrow “up to $50,000” for armory costs. Town
officials say they will borrow only the amount necessary for land acquisition and
the town’s share of construction costs, which totals slightly more than $30,000. The
funds must be committed by June 30.

* S. A. Chalk Jr., candidate for the*
third Congressional district seat,
charged today that his opponent,
who is a member of the House
Postoffice committee, is increas
ing the postal deficit by using his
privilege as a congressman to
send “free” mail to congratulate
highsfichool students “upon the ac
complishment of high school grad
uation" before they graduate.
Commenting on this Mr. Chalk
said:
‘'The administration is advocate
ing an increase in postal rates?
and my opponent is contributing
to the huge deficit, which makes
such an increase necessary. 1
have in my office a large manila
envelope received by a constituent
before May 12, 1962, under my op
ponent’s free mail privilege that,
if paid for by him, would have
cost 16 cents for postage alone.
The congratulations enclosed are
premature, as everyone knows not
a single school in the third district
has had a graduation exercise.
“This is a cheap way for him to
campaign, to bring his name to
the attention of, the parents of the
graduate, but expensive to the tax
payer, as under industry standards,
the cost of the mailing is not less
than $1 for each addressee.
“If my opponent paid for this
out of his own pocket, he should
announce this fact, because the
impression is that it was paid for
with tax funds.
“If elected, 1 shall introduce
legislation to prohibit a member
of Congress from using the mails
to send unsolicited material ot
this type at taxpayer expense,”
Mr. Chalk said.
Congress Fund
Now Totals $435
An additional $10 received this
week has pushed the Chalk for
Congress Fund to $435.
By Tuesday, $217.58 of the fund
had been committed in newspaper
advertising throughout the Third
Congressional district (except Car
teret) and $122.25 in radio spot an
nouncements, promoting the can
idacy of S. A. Chalk Jr., Morehead
City.
With just a few more dollars, the
Fund would be able to buy time
on two television stations during
the coming week. Anyone who
has considered contributing to Mr.
Chalk’s campaign and has neglect
ed to do so, is urged to send in his
check at once.
All political advertisements must
be paid for in advance and delay
in placing the orders means that
the “best spots” in radio and tv
time may already be committed.
Contributions for THE NEWS
TIMES Chalk for Congress fund
should be mailed to THE NEWS
TIMES, Morehead City, and a note
on the face of the check should in
dicate that it is for the Chalk for
Congress fund.
A detailed report on how Uie
money was spent will be given fol-;
lowing the May 26 primary.

Two 15-Year-Old Boys Held
For String of Break-Ins
Two 15-year-old boys, residents
of Morehead City, were taken into
custody by the sheriff’s depart
ment Wednesday and were being
held in the juvenile detention rooms
of the county jail yesterday.
The two white youths have con
fessed, according to deputy sheriff
Bruce Edwards of the sheriff’s de
partment, to a string of break-ins
and petty thefts at business places
in Beaufort and Morehead City
over the past month. The sheriff’s
department said most of the
break-ins occurred during the past
two weeks.
One of the defendants returned
from training school about five
weeks ago. Deputy Edwards said
that after one of the boys was tak
en into custody, surrendered by
his parents, the parents of the oth
er brought him in.
Both are being held, pending
setting of a date for hearing be
fore juvenile judge A. H. James.
From Belk’s department store,
the boys stole clothing and two
suitcases. They kept the clothing
in an abandoned bathhouse at the
beach where they would go to
change into it from the clothing
they put on at home.
The clothing and the suitcases
were recovered, but money, taken
from several places, had been
spent. Belk’s manager, Earl Lew
is, valued the clothing (including
pairs of shoes) at more than $100.
The boys admitted entering the
following places, the deputy said:
Luigi’s Bakery, Belk’s; St. An
drew’s church where one time they
got $1.15 and another time 75 cents;
Capt. Bill’s where they took five
silver dollars, some pennies, old
coins, candy and cigars, and Ad
ams Furniture Co.
The boys were unsuccessful in
attempts to enter Leary’s, Wa
chovia bank, City Newsstand,
Veta’s, Morehead City Drug Co.,
Hardware and Building Supply,
Rupert Willis Hardware and Willis
Auto Supply.

*. King’s
or route
2 Dtfficon. The' accident happened
while the children were en route
to church with friends.
Mr. King left Tuesday morning
to join his family in Oklahoma.
He hopes to be able to stay until
the children are well enough to
be brought home.
State Senior Golfers
Will Play Here Sunday
North Carolina Seniors Golf as
sociation will hold a tournament
Saturday and Sunday over the
Morehead City Golf club course.
After play, starting at 9 a.m.
Saturday, all golfers will be on
their own until 7 p.m. when they
will gather for a dinner at the
golf clubhouse.
They admitted cutting the glass
on a cigarette machine on the
waterfront in Morehead City. One,
the deputy said, admitted break
ing and entering Fleming’s fishing
pier concession stand, taking ice
and cigars.
In Beaufort, the boys entered
Paul Motor Co. by going through
a trap door in the floor. They
took some change from there; went
in the Surfside restaurant through
a back window and took a Heart
fund container, some pennies out
of the cash register, and cigars.
They went in the Beaufort‘thea
tre and took change from the con
cession stand, but were unsuccess
ful at entering Biggs shoe shop,
and places of business on the south
side of Front street including a
dress shop, a dinette, grocery
store, feed store and service sta
tion.
Also entered was a paint shop,
formerly the Toot ’n Tell It drive
in on highway 70 across from
Beaufort school, but the two got
nothing.
At Capt. Bill’s they got in
through a ventilator in the roof.
Bankrupt Shipbuilding Firm
Will be Sold Next Month
The Morchead City Shipbuilding
Gorp. will be sold Tuesday, June
19, announces W. H. Hefler, Dur
ham, trustee in corporate reorgani
zation.
Real estate in the name of the
corporation will be sold at the
courthouse door, Beaufort, at 10
a.m. Tuesday, June 19. ' Machine
tools, marine supplies, ship fit
tings, office supplies and equip
ment will be sold at public auction
on the premises of the shipbuild
Morehead City residents will decide at the polls to
morrow whether they want to borrow $86,125 to buy land
and pay their share of construction costs for an arinory.
Voting will begin at 6:30 a.m. at the municipal build
ing and will end at 6:30 p.m.
Mrs. A. N. Willis, registrar, saysH
1,600 residents of Morehead City
are eligible to vote. Of that num
ber, 804 are women and 796 men.
The building will be of brick and
masoriry construction and contain
13,560 feet of floor space. It will
be situated, if the referendum pass
es, on Bridges street, north of the
present commercial fisheries build
ing at Camp Glenri. It would be
several hundred feet in a north
east direction from the present
temporary buildings used as an
armory.
The State Board of Conservation
and Development has agreed to
sell the land to the town, approxi
mately five acres, for $19,250:
The state has informed town of
ficials that the selling price is
slightly less than the figure fur
nished it by local realtors who
appraised it. An effort to have the
state donate the land to the town
was not successful.
FSgt. Dennis Goodwin, adminis
trator of the Morehead City Nat
ional Guard unit, said that by us
ing land to which the state already
has title, the town has been able
to defer actual purchase until af
ter the voters speak. Had it been
necessary to acquire land from a
private property owner, the Nat
ional Guard would have required
that the town show ownership of
title and transfer to the state prior
to the referendum.
He added that this is the only
large plot of ground within town
limits that is available. Had prop
erty been acquired elsewhere, the
town would have had to bear the
expense of supplying water and
sewage facilities.
“There have been rumors that
the land’s price is toe high,” said
sergeant Goodwin, “actually, it is
the mosjj judicious jwrehase th*
town could make. This way, we
don’t actually hav* to invest mon
ey in it before we see which way
the referendum goes. And if we
buy it, Utilities and town service
are readily available.”
The armory’s main entrance
will be on Bridges street. The park
ing lot will be situated adjacent to
Bridges and the street which leads
south to the water.
“Some of those who would like
to see this referendum defeated,”
sergeant Goodwin said, “are tell
ing our Negro voters that they
won’t be permitted to use the arm
ory. Our Negro citizens,” he con
tinued, “who belong to civic organ
izations, churches and similar
groups can use the armory for
special occasions in the same man
ner as any other group,” the serg
eant emphasized.
Many civic organizations have
endorsed the armory. Those who
have recently announced approval
are the Morehead City Merchants
association and World War I vet
erans.
George Stovall, president of the
merchants association, said, “We
see a definite advantage in the
armory, a means of boosting busi
ness — another step forward for
Morehead City.”
Persons who would like further
information (facts, not rumors) on
armory plans, are invited to call
sergeant Goodwin at PA6-5045, or
Dr. Russell Outlaw, PA6-3162.
The last time Morehead City
residents went to the polls in a
municipal referendum, they voted
74 to 71 in favor of a 10-cent levy
for recreation funds. The vote was
taken June 3, 1950.
