Newport Medical Center Inc. Lets Contracts Wednesday By J. BTANCIL BELL, Chairman Newport Medical Center lac. The Newport Medical Center ex ecutive committee met Wednesday night and contracts were let as follows: plumbing, heating and air conditioning, Styron’s Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Com pany, Morehead City, $2,889; elec trical wiring, H, & H Electric Co., Newport, $1,075, White Slaque Roof, East Carolina Builders Supply, Newport, $702; prefabricated in terior (complete), Medical Facili ties, Iowa City, Iowa, $13,500. R. S. (Dick) Garner of Newport was selected to be the construction and labor supervisor. Dick will also serve as inspector of all jobs on the center. He will be assisted by the building committee, executive com mittee and advisor (J. Stancil Bell). It is believed that the gen eral construction can be much cheaper in this manner as some free labor has been promised and some will be available that has not promised to date. Do not forget your promise—we want some new offers. Anyone qualified and desiring work is requested to contact R. S. (Dick) Garner. It is hoped that qualified workers will see him at once as to workers needed, price paid, date to begin, etc. We MUST have some free labor to keep the construction within our money available. We still need about $3,000 in loans and contributions to meet our goal. It is hoped this amount will be offered when the work begins. If the pledges are paid on time (all are due June 1, 1963), we can start construction on Monday, June 3, 1963. If construction begins on schedule, it is our objective to have the building ready for two doctors by Aug. 15, 1963. The building committee is com posed of L. M. (Mack) Garner, chairman; Lloyd N. Garner and A. B. (Tom) Garner. J. Stancil Bell was appointed as advisor to the executive board which consists of Wallace Hill, chairman; Bob Mon tague, Seymour Ruben, Leon Mann Jr. and Clayton Cannon. We are grateful to all who sub mitted bids. We are sorry that some were underbid, however, it is hoped that they will be coopera tive and offer suggestions for the betterment of the building. This building will be a wonderful asset to our community. We are proud of the progress of our project and I feel that I must give a quotation from an editorial carried in THE NEWS-TIMES re cently. “The Medical Center pro gram is one of the most ambitious and far-sighted to be launched in this county in many a day by peo ple who aren’t looking for ‘match ing funds’ from somewhere.” Let’s show folks that we in Newport and friends of Newport can prove that the statement is correct. Board (Continued from Page One) that Morehead City does not want sailors ashore when the fleet is in Morehead City port are erroneous. “They’re welcome,” he said, ‘.‘but when they do not come ashore they are being kept on the ships for reasons that are the Navy’s own,’’ he remarked. The commissioners discussed peddlers on town streets. It was reported that representative Ven ters has introduced HB930 in the legislature which would authorize towns to regulate or prohibit ped dling from vehicles on its public streets, sidewalks and alleys and in other public places. Mayor Dill announced that the alumni group of the North Carolina chapter, Southern Police institute, will meet at Morehead City Friday and Saturday. The board decided to advertise all delinquent taxes, whether par tial payment had been made on them or not. Commissioner Outlaw was elect ed mayor pro tern. Attending the meeting in addition to those men tioped were commissioners Dom Femia, Jerry Willis, S. C. Hollo way, D. J. Hall; and town attorney George McNeill. i Wmmm' --- - ■■■■■ Chris Carter Wil I Direct Show, Gulls and Buoys Chris Carter, who will direct the Morehead City Junior Woman’s club follies May 31 and June 1, ar rived Sunday and will spend two weeks in rehearsal with the cast.

Also in the car was Ansley Nelson. All three were in the front seat. Trooper J. W.

Also injured were Darcy E. Cal lahan, Cherry Point, and a fellow Marine with him. Mrs. Adler was taken to the hospital by a motorist and the other two declined treat ment until they got to Cherry Point where they went to the dispensary. According to patrolman John Mayberry, investigating officer, Mrs. Adler, driving a 1952 Dodge, was going south on 28th street and collided with Callahan’s car, a 1949 Mercury, which was going west on Arendell.

MiSs Beulah Willis, riding Cedar Point Firemen Trained The Cedar Point fire depart ment has successfully completed sixty hours of firemen’s training sponsored by the North Carolina department of public instruction and will hold graduation exer cises Friday, June 7, at 7 p.m. at Cedar Point beach. A fish dinner will be served. The training is required of fire departments wishing t* become qualified for participation in in surance rate reduction. P. L. Burt, department secretary, said Cedar Point is the first of its class to take part in this pro gram in this county, so far as the department has been able to determine. Committee Kills Crab Bill Killed in committee last week was a bill proposed by Rep. Tho mas Bennett, Carteret, which would permit the taking of spawn ing female hardcrabs. The state commercial fisheries committee has set Friday, May 31, at Morehead City as the date of a special hearing on the “sponge crab” controversy. Regulations now prohibit the taking of the crabs. Most Carteret crab fisher men want to catch and sell them. One carload of crabs, containing sponge crabs, was confiscated by the state several weeks ago at New Bern. They were being shipped to Maryland by Billy Smith, Atlan tic. The crabs were turned over to the prison department. They were valued at $1,300. Mr. Bennett mentioned yester day that the “blue law” bill which has been in the legislature does not include Carteret, because this county is a resort area. A law pro hibiting doing of business here on Sundays would seriously cut into the income of many summer busi nesses. It has been predicted that any blue law bill which gets through the legislature would be declared unconstitutional because of its many exemptions and “discrimina tions.” with Mrs. Adler, was reportedly not injured. Damage to the Dodge was esti mated at $350 and to the Mercury $300. Charges are pending. VODKA 4/ 5 Quart IOO PROOF DISTILLED FROM GRAIN BOAKA KOMPANIYA, SCH ENLEY, PA.

Operators Mark Changeover to New Bern with Party Saturday Night * _ a_l. noeViollflAV* A* Operators at CaraHfta Telephone and Telegraph Co. effice in More head City, who have been transfer red to New Bern, gave a party Saturday night in the operator’s lounge. The party began at 10 p.m. and lasted until 2 a m. Sunday, when the changeover to new equipment was made and the operators were no longer needed in Morehead City. The new equipment is a prelimi nary step to direct distance dial ing in this area. Telephone cus tomers will still be able to reach the operator by dialing 0, but they will now be served from the New Bern office. L. M. Raby of Tarboro, general traffic manager, and George Pate of New Bern, district traffic man ager, were among the company officials in Morehead City for the changeover. L. A. Daniels is man ager of the local office and Mrs. Mary Carlton was chief operator. Refreshments of coffee, ham bis cuits, sandwiches, punch and cake were served. Mr. Daniels emphasizes that di rect distance dialing will not be Sovided in the Carteret area at is time. H# reported, however, that the moving of tbo long dis tance operation to New Bern is a preparatory step toward DDD. “When DDD comes to this area, the equipment required for custom er long distance dialing will be located at New Bern,’’ Mr. Daniels said. In commenting on the discontinu ation of the long distance switch board here, the manager noted that centralization and automation have become necessary throughout the telephone industry due to increas ing costs of operation. He reported that all operators and other traffic department em ployees at Morehead City have been offered employment in other exchanges of the company and many are electing to transfer. The company’s business office as well as its installation and main tenance forces here will continue to serve subscribers in this area, according to Mr. Daniels. In the future, as in the past, sub scribers in Morehead City, Atlan tic Beaufort, Marshallberi and Newport will be asked to give their complete telephone number to the operator when placing long dis tance calls. The office prefix (first three di gits or two letters and a digit) is needed by the operator to identify the exchange from which the call originates.
