Town of Beaufort Buys il Bonds, Reduces Town Debt Beaufort town commissioners' heard Monday night at the town hall that $21,000 of the town debt had been retired during the past month. Twenty bonds were bought at par and one at 99. Remaining in the debt service account now is $6,000. , During the past fiscal year, 48 bonds were bought, according to John Jones Jr., town clerk. Inter est saved amounted to approxi mately $12,000. The town debt now stands at $305,000 the clerk said. Approximately 88 per cent of the current tax levy has been col lected, leaving $4,500 still owed on personal property and the balance on real property. Still due on prior levies is about $20,000 in real estate taxes and $50,000 in personal property. “Taxes over three years old should not be on the records of the town at the end of this fiscal year,” C. R. Wheatly, town attor ney, declared. A concerted effort is being made to collect all taxes prior to July 1, 1964. Unless tax back sliders ap pear before the board to discuss their back bills, the taxes will be collected for the full amount. Joe House appeared before the board relative to 1938-39 taxes for which he has been billed. Mr. House said he was under the im pression they had been paid. The board accepted a check for $138. 67, the amount of the tax. An offer for settlement of taxes owed by the Lottie Sanders estate was taken under consideration. Liens are being filed now to col lect personal property tax. If those who owe taxes do not make any effort to pay by Oct. 1, by con tacting the town board, legal steps will be taken to collect the taxes, the board decided. The board meets the first Monday of every month. If that comes prior to the 7th of the month, the board meets the second Monday. The board authorized the town attorney to notify the State tJtilities commission that Carolina Water Co. refuses to serve 83 home own ers on Carteret avenue, Willis and First streets, with water. The board said the water company is not fulfilling its contract with the town. Dr. John Costlow, mayor, com mented that there was no water throughout town for a while Sat urday morning. The wate* com pany was notified by Elmond Rhue, fire department engineer, that there was no pressure. A main had broken at Jones Village, and after repairs were made, pres sure and water were restored. Flooding problems at the rail road on Live Oak street were dis cussed, but no action taken. Also considered was a drainage problem at Queen Street school. The clerk said the town had an agreement with the county board of education to install the tile if the education board furnished it. He said the tile has never been furnished. Tabled was a request by Dr. Kenneth Wilkens, Goldsboro, to purchase a water lot at Front and Gordon. The board okayed a request from Grayden Paul that an old town water fountain, now in storage, be placed next to the Alphonso, the whaling museum on Front street. Frank Wall, auditor, requested that the town renew its contract with him for the 1963-64 audit. The board decided to request bids on the job. Bids for fuel for the town will also be sought. They will be open ed at the July meeting. Request was made for moving of a pole at 415 Live Oak St. Tabled was a complaint about merchan dise cluttering Front street side walks. Chief of police Guy Springle re ported that Howard Hill, Beaufort officer injured by a truck, would probably be in a cast for four months. He suffered a serious hip injury. Attending the meeting, in addi tion to those mentioned were com missioners Glenn Willis, David Farrior, Earl Mades, Osborne Da vis, Holden Ballou, and Wardell Fillingame, street superintendent. Former Resident Dies in Sleep Dr. Kenneth Downes, 42, former ly of Beaufort, died from acciden tal carbon monoxide poisoning Feb. 28 in Waldorf, Va., where he was living. Word of his death has just been received here. Dr. Downes had been ill for ten days and had gone to Fredericks burg, Va., to recuperate at the home of his mother. He returned to his home in Waldorf Wednesday, Feb. 27, planning to report to work the next day, but was overcome and died during the night from carbon monoxide fumes from the refrigerator in his apartment. As a result of his death, Public Health authorities reportedly con demned every refrigerator in the apartment building because they were obsolete. Dr. Downes had formerly worked at Pivers Island for the Oyster Institute of North America. He left in 1960 to go to Annapolis to work. k Routine Training Enables Employee to Save Fisherman By RUSS MELLETTE This story will happen many times this summer—the ending could be tragic or happy: The outboard chugged around a bend in the river. It was a balmy day, and the black waters of the Northeast Cape Fear river spark led in the sunlight. A heroic deed was probably the farthest thought from the man in the boat. He might even have yawned contentendly, returning from one of his favorite fishing spots. In the next instant Kimball W. Burriss faced the test of saving a man from drowning; As he round ed the bend, a partially-submerg ed boat loomed before him. Bur riss scanned the murky water, but saw nothing. “Then I saw the top of his head come up,” he recalls. He grabbed the hgir and pulled up, but lost hold of the short, curly hair on Frank Brock’s head. He backed his boat up and man aged to grab an arm just as it was about to go under. Burriss pulled the unconscious, 195-pound Brock into his boat and headed for shore several hundred feet away. Piloting with one hand, Burris applied artificial respiration with the other as Brock lay face-down ward across the boat seat. “If I had waited until I got to the bank to work on him I’m afraid he wouldn’t have made it,” he recalls. Burriss had spent a lifetime pre paring for this, and he was ready. He credits his on-the-job first aid and safety training with sav ing the life of Frank Brock of Cas tie Hayne. Today Brock is a walk ing, breathing testimonial that pro per first aid training pays big dividends. Burriss is also credited with using artificial respiration to resus citate at least two shock victims. He talks little about his personal lifesaving record, but has many words fo praise for the training that made it possible. When publicity of his most re cent lifesaving feat caught up with him, Burriss modestly attempted to focus the attention on his com pany’s first aid and safety train ing program. Frank Brock and a friend, Har vey Trexler, were hurled into the strong river currents when their boat struck a log. Trexler drowned before help reached him. Brock was saved, partly because Burriss happened by at the right moment, but mainly because of Burriss’s thorough first aid training through the years. The main thing that helped me save him was not getting excited,” Burriss says of the rescue. “With out proper training, it would have been easy for me to panic and then both of us could have drowned,” he explains. Court (Continued from Page 1) 1. The wife was required to pay court costs. An absolute divorce was granted to Lewis C. Fidler, Cherry Point, from Geraldine M. Fidler, believed to be in Hawaii. The husband, the plaintiff in this caw, was required to pay court costs. Bernice S. Gillikin and Sterling Moore Gillikin, both of this county, were granted a non-divorce with alimony by mutual consent. Mr. Gillikin agreed to pay $100 a month to support the two chil dren, Clayton Moora, 6, and Gracie Lynette, 4, in payments to begin July 1. The mother was given cus tody of the children, but subject to the father’s right to visit and to have the children visit with him. Mr. Gillikin also agreed to give his wife all their furniture and household helongings. He further consented to pay the $100 attor ney’s fee for bis wife. An absolute divorce was granted to Mary H. Carlton, Carteret coun ty, from Arthur B. Carlton, now living in Massachusetts. The wife was required to pay court costs.

TTlorehcad ‘‘The Showplace Of Carteret County” FRIDAY — SATURDAY STEVE REEVES — GORDON SCOTT "DUEl OF THE TITANS" STARTS SUNDAY Fri.-Sat. — Double Feature “THUNDER ROAD'’ “MAGNIFICENF*?” Fri.-Sat. — Triple Feature “SHOOT-OUT AT BIG SAG” “NIGHT RIDERS” “FIVE BOLD WOMEN* Starts Sunday A LITTLE DEATH EACH AM OF k±LB¥EE the yauN£ Beaufort Catholic Schools to Use New System in Math Goldsboro—Beginning in Septem ber, pupils in the kindergarten, first, second, and third grades in North Carolina’s Catholic schools will begin working with a major new modtrn mathematics program that will permit them to “discover for themselves’’ the fundamental principles of mathematics. Monsig nor Edward T. Gilbert, superinten dent of schools in the Diocese of Raleigh, announced today. Attacking problems as though they hadn’t already been explored by the great geniuses of the past, primary grade pupils will learn to see the important relations in herent in mathematical problems, to understand the symbols neces sary to express these relations in a meaningful way and, in a very real sense, to play a part in “mak ing” mathematics, he said. The new program—The Greater Cleveland Mathematics Program (GCMP)—was developed by the Educational Research Council of Greater Cleveland over a period of several years, and is published by Science Research associates, Chi cago. The development of GCMP involved use of experimental ma terial by more than 100,000 child ren in 27 public, private, and pa rochial school systems in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, and*other commu nities. Since its publication in late 1902 GCMP has already been adopted by a number of large school sys tems, including two entire states. Monsignor Gilbert pointed out that GCMP represents a major de parture from traditional mathe matics materials and methods. Pu pil materials consist of brightly colored, padded worksheets and a number of visual and manipula tive aids. The program is con cept-oriented, and the stress is al ways on -how and why things hap pen in mathematics, rather than traditional memorization of rules and processes. He indicated that it is expected that with the new program pupils will be further advanced by the end of the third grade both in the ability to perform mathematical operations and in their understand ing of the processes. A special mathematics text for I teachers, comprehensive teacher guides, and teacher-training films will be used to supplement regional study sessions already held for teachers in the diocesan schools. Parents, too, will have an oppor tunity to become acquainted with the new primary grades mathema tics through meetings designed to give parents an understanding of GCMP. Such meetings are to be arranged by principles of the local schools, Monsignor Gilbert said. The superintendent explained that GCMP was used experimen tally in St. Agnes School, Wash ington, N. C, during the past school year, under the direction of Sister Pius, principal, and Sister M. Justine and Sister M. Donata, primary grade teachers. These teachers reported their experiences with GCMP to the diocesan textbook committee in April, at which time it was decided to adopt the program for the pri mary grades in the diocesan schools. Monsignor Gilbert stated that the committee has given careful study to th'j matter of preparing pri mary pupils to think through and understand the processes of ma thematics, and that it has been agreed that the development of many important mathematical con cepts traditionally reserved for higher grades can and should be gin during the first years of school.
