Mowers Sharpened and Repaired Robesonlan Bureau, 607 Warner Bids- WASHINGTON A House Public Works subcommittee was trying to figure a way today to give North Carolina's coastal area some help in "repairing damage" to its beach front resulting from Hurricane Hazel last October. But, after hearing from nearly a score of Tar Heel spokesmen, committee members were in doubt as to what type of aid is sought: tor the area from the federal government. Under discussion is a bill sponsored by Rep. Ertel Carlyle oi Lumberton, 'authorizing the government to appropriate $5 million to repair damage to the beach front.

repairs by chief of army engineers. for grants. local authorities to assist in financing a i made under their direction." Acting Chairman John J. Dempsey and other subc m- mittee members advised the Tar Heels that $5 million would not bs Deer, Bass. Tomato, Strawberry, Grapevine, Wild Cherry and Peach i Orchard are places in Arkansas.

Not A New Business Just A New Location See WAYNE McMILLAN or ROBERT EARL BRANCH REMIUM QUALITY nearly enough to finance major beach works to protect the area from future devastation such a the $120 million damages done by Hurricane Hazel. The North Carolinians also were told that time would be required for an engineer's survey on methods of beach protection. Rep. Russell V. Mack (R-Wash.) suggested a breakdown of the costs of (1) immediate disaster relief, (2) beach roision projects, and (3) other teps to protect the coastal area, each erosion projects must inanced jointly, with local inter- sts putting up two-thirds of the ost, he warned.

The Carolinians also were warned than they might be limit i ederal aid too tightly with a specific $5 million request, rather han seeking a survey and report Tom army engineers, as New York-New England area spo Emen have done, without ment i on of a specific sum of money. Carlyle and others in the North Carolina delegation, without rejecting that advice, said money is needed immediately to help with restoring highways, sidewalks and public utilities damaged in the big storm. The hearing, conducted a weekend, ended without a 1 ar- cut statement from the Tar Heels as to what form of help they want. But they made it clear that the coastal area is in critical need of assistance in overcoming the f- fects of "Hurricane Hazel and preparing to meet any such onslaught in the future. Helping to paint the picture were i several state officials, includ i B.

C. Snow, chief engineer, divi- jsion of water resources, a jment of conservation and development, and General Edwin F. Griffin of Louisburg, director of thp state civil defense council, as weil as spokesmen from Wilm i ngt Southport, Wrightsville a Beaufort, Morehead City. Atlantic Beach arid Carolina Beach. Reps.

PONTIAC COSTS LESS THAN ANY CAR EQUALLING ITS 200 HORSEPOWER If you. delight in flashing performance, here's all the reason you need to join the record-breaking thousands who are swinging to Pontiac. The 200 horsepower delivered by the economical Strato- Streak V-8 with the four-barrel carburetor, optional at low extra cost, is the highest power ever delivered by a car at Pontiac's price--higher than that of cars costing considerably more. For thrift and thrills it's Pontiac ah 1 the way! PONTIAC COSTS LESS THAN ANY CAR EQUALLING ITS LONG WHEELBASE Model for model, Pontiac has a longer wheelbase than any car at its price--122" or 124', depending on whether you select an 860, 870, or Star Chief model. And that's important because a long wheelbase is the reason for Pontiac's smooth, road-leveling ride and the roomy comfort of Pontiac's large, luxurious bodies--advantages that put Pontiac on a level with costly cars for sheer riding pleasure.
