Even so, shark meat and eel will be the main menu fare come Sepmember 27, as officials of the N. C. Marine Resources Center on Roanoke Island plan a celebration in honor of the center’s fifth anniversary. The program, scheduled for 2 P. M., is open to the public. Refreshments will be served. In addition to the sampler of unusual seafoods, Aims and educational programs are planned along with an overview of the first five years of the center’s operations, a period during whichmore than one million persons visited the facility. Even the center’s five research labs will be open to the public, according to Rhett B. White, center director. While plans proceed for the open house, White of fered several observations recently about what he perceived to be the chief contributions of the center during his 18-month tenure as director. “Our major thrust is in the area of education,” he pointed out. “I would say that roughly 60 per cent of our time and efforts is devoted to marine education and we’re speaking of pre school age all the way through adults.” The center has 17 pre planned programs ranging in content from the Wild foods Weekend held in October to regularly scheduled bird Walks in the f— —I I Located Over Pate’s Florist 5 = Open Mon. 1 And Thurs. 1 (2-spm) g Enter between i Cato’s and Pate’s = The Service H Is Sponsored By \ Eirhe Local Churches [ \ All Items 50’ Each FOR SALE - 1976 HONDA XR 75 good condition - 1977 Schwin 10 Speed excellent condition for information contact Hayes Farms 482-2554 fall on Bodie and Pea islands to marsh and beach field trips conducted throughout the year. Additionally, the center staff often coordinates special programs such as the graduate-level oceanography course of fered in cooperation with the University of Virginia tis this past June. Center staff members actually taught a number of the classes prompting White to observe, “I have no reservations in saying that we have a sound group of people working here.” The center has also cooperated with the Sea Grant Advisory Service and the State Museum of Natural History in offering a week-long workshop for gifted and talented teachers from throughout North Carolina. A goodly share of the 230,000 annual visitors to the center gravitates im mediately to the 14 aquariums which house marine life native to the North Carolina coast. These, ranging in size from 300 to 3,000 gallons along with the largest “touch table’’ on the East Coast, fall under the watchful eye of Frank Hudgins, a marine biology graduate from UNC- Wilimington. It is Hudgins’ job *to collect and maintain the various specimens used for the live exhibits. The center employs two more professional staff members whose respon sibility are well-defined although, according to White, “everyone here does something of everything.” Dale Martin is the cen- Death Claims Mr. Long, 74 Claude Martin Long, Sr., 74, Route 2, Edenton, died Sunday evening in Chowan Hospital.

Beginning September 16, approximately 30 Weyerhaeuser employees from the maintenance department of the firm’s Plymouth wood products division began attending classes at the community college. The classes will focus on subjects related to the employee’s job, such as electronics, and allow the employee to improve present job skills in maintaining and repairing manufacturing equipment that is becoming in creasingly complex. “We have programs that give people initial skills in electronics, industrial technology and other mechanical areas however we have not, until now, developed programs tailored to a company’s need which up-grades an individual's skills in these areas,” says Dr. Neill McLeod, president of J§fef “SSST I ttMrnZ.
