Re-Named Chairman
The county planning commission,
at its recent meeting at the court
house, formally commended county
officials involved in the enforce
ment .of subdivision regulations, es
_pccially those responsible, for ac
cepting or rejecting plats or maps
for recording.
In their resolution, planning com
missioners noted that there had
been a “clear effort ... to circum
vent the subdivision regulation or
i < dinance enacted by the County
Board of Commissioners.’’
They said this circumvention
would “nullify the best efforts of
the county to properly plan for its
long range development,” adding
that the commission “commends
those who have acted with due
diligence in the enforcement of
these regulations and requests the
cooperation of attorneys, realtors,
land developers, engineers and all
- others in carrying out the require
ments of the ordinance.”
With the cooperation of R. D.
Barbour, administrator of the com
munity planning division, C&D de
partment, work is already being
done in Raleigh on getting ready
the county’s application for aid un
der the federal overall economic
development program.

Board Reviews
Debt Status
Presented to Beaufort town com
missioners Monday night was a
statement of the status of the
town’s bonded debt.
Budgeted for payment this fis
cal year on the total debt of $325,
500 is $45,000. Of that $45,000, $7,
000 has been set aside. Purchase
of $53,000 in bonds is anticipated,
and of that amount $27,500 has al
ready been used to buy bonds. In
addition to the $45,000 budgeted,
there is in a sinking fund $20,367.
(The debt, prior to purchase of
$27,500 in bonds was $352,500).
According to the debt retirement
plan, the town will be free of debt
in nine years, in fiscal 1970-71,
The monthly financial report
showed the town’s total income for
September as $4,397.51, as com
pared with $18,372.10 in August.
The large August income was due
to taxes. Because tax bills went
out late this year, tax income was
still heavy in August.

tangible taxes also in August, was
$2,196.03. ABC store payments in
August were $486.15, as compared
with $700.34 in September.

fiscal year is $48,499.87, as com
pared with receipts of $18,789.31
by the end of September 1961. The
bank balance as of Oct. 1 was $5,
959.06 and all accounts owed by
the town were paid.
The financial report is compiled
monthly by Ronald Earl Mason.

closest to the hottorn of the pic

Speaker Reports on Cancer
Congress Held in Moscow
I)r. Rachel Davis, Kinston, who-<
spoke to the county cancer society
Wednesday night in Morehcad
City, reported on the seventh In
ternational Cancer congress at
Moscow, which she attended this
summer. She was introduced by
Dr. Herbert Webb, Sea Level, vice
chairman of the county cancer so
ciety.
Five thousand doctors attended
the meeting, which was held in
the Hall of Congress in the Krem
lin. The six-story building covers j
a city block, she reported.
Each chair in the auditorium,
which seats 6,000 persons, is equip
ped with earphones and 12 lang
uage buttons, permitting the lis
tener to have the program trans
lated in the language of his choice.
Throughout the six days of meet
ings the Russians emphasized their
desire for Peace, Peace, Peace!
According to Dr. Davis, it seemed
to be their primary concern that
everyone know that the United
States, not they, are the war inong
crs.
Despite the propaganda, and des
pite the fact that most of the scien
tific papers were reported as be
ing something that the Russians
had already accomplished several
years ago, Dr. D.avis said she
gleaned much f~ jm the discus
sions. It was a orrelation of scien
tific data collected all over the
world in the field of cancer for
the past four years.
Some progress has been made,
but nothing spectacular, the speak
er said. The greatest progress was
made in instruments and examina
tion equipment for early diagnosis,
early treatment, and prevention.
Individuals are known to have a
body chemistry which makes them
prone or resistant to cancer.
By the use of polarized light it
can be determined whether cells
are prone. This is used primarily
in research centers. The Japanese
have perfected a movie camera
1/3 inch long which will take a
