First Tuna of Season
Landed By Capt. Pagel
Searching for bluefish in the
Hatteras inlet area last week,
Capt. Jess Pagels and Gene Car
row aboard the boat Jesse, ran
through a school of Tuna. Capt
Pagels who always has trolling
equipment aboard his boat
whether he is serving as guide "
for. a party or fishing commer
cially, put a line overboard and
hooked a large fish. Brought to
gaff the fish turned out to be a
Tuna, measuring nearly four
feet in length and weighing
well over 30 lbs. So that Capt.
Jess, one of the best Gulf
Stream fishing guides here
abouts, goes credit for landing
the first big salt water fish of
the season while trolling.

Fishermen Can't Buy
A Drink In Atlantic
Fishermen bringing their catches
to the busy little port of Atlantic
may crave a drink of beer or booze
after tkeir day of work on the water,
but they will be unable to buy same
legally in that eastern township as
a result of a law passed by the state
legislature. The law prohibits the
sale of beer and liquor in Atlantic
township. It is understood that one
store there sold beer but no ABC
store naa ever Been . established in k
the locality since they became legal.
A local observer in Raleigh thi3
week called the bill which was enact
ed into law, "Jim Morris' beer bill."
TOMATO ACREAGE
TO BE INCREASED
Approximately 750 acres in East
Carteret county will be devoted to
growing tomatoes during the current
season, in the opinion of George W,
nuntiey, wno is an authority on
farming in this county. He recently
returned from Florida where he
made arrangements to buy enough
plants to set out 100 of his personal
acres in tomatoes. Last year approx
imately 350 acres were devoted to
tomatoes in Carteret. The increase
this year will be planted primarily in
the Marshallberg, Gloucester, Straits
and Smyrna area. And the proposed
acreage there is attributed to the
fact that Carroll Crocket of Crisfield,
Md., is constructing a tomato can
ning plant at Marshallberg.
Covering The

By AYCOCK BROWN
SOMEHOW I can't help but think
that all of these junk piles once a
familiar sight on the outskirts of any
North Carolina town or city which
have been cleaned up and prepared
for shipment recently through the
many ports of the Atlantic to Japan
and other nations, might eventually
come back at us in the shape of
bullits. Considering the huge moun
tain of rusty metal which has been
shipped to the port of Morehead City,
which according to press reports h
small compared to some ports along
the Atlantic, many an eyesore on th j
interior of the country has been
moved coastward. But shipment of
the metal has provided an income for
many jobless people and removed
junk piles which frequently mar the
scenery, so some good has been noted
after all.

CAPE LOOKOUT CO AST GUARD
RESCUE TRAWLER "COOSAW
Capt. Fred Gillikin with a
crew of five men aboard the
Cape Lookout motor lifeboat
rescued the trawler "Coosaw"
early today after the vessel had
lost her rudder and rode at an
chor in the lee of the shoals
most of the night. The trawler,
under command of Capt. Mar
shall Hill with crew of four men
was towed to safety of Look
out Bight through high seas
whipped by a 35-mile southwest
er. Although the Coosaw lost her
rudder during the night she did
not send out distress signals un
til daylight. At the time she
was anchored in protected wa
ters about two miles off the
Cape, but to bring her to safe

to the mainland at lWille
Point, he need for the bridge
is great at all time3, but during
the past several weeks with
much illness on the island the
need has been even greater.
When a person gota sick on
Harkers Island it is a long trip
to a physician on the mainland.
With a bridge and causeway
reaching the mainland it would
be a matter of only a few min
utes. Approximately 1,200
persons on the island want and
demand that a bridge be con
structed. Down on the islnad a few days
ago they were discussing wheth
er Harkers would ever be con
nected to mainland by bridge
and causeway. Adrian Willis
said he thought the only way
out, was to sink stakes on the
western shore, and attach tow
lines to the 75 island owned
boats and thus tow same to
mainland. Another suggestion
which sounded as if it might
have come from Earl Davis was
to tow the island up North Riv
er until it jammed, thus mak
ing it unnecessary for the State
to maintain its present bridge
there. A non resident present,
said it would be cheaper for
the State to move its native
citizens away from Harkers, all
1,200 of them. The latter state,
ment sounds as if it might have
come from a member of the
S. H. and P. W. Commission
but we are not saying it did.

fish were saved.

NOVEMBER: IF anything has

afforded by the arrival of two huge

tons burthen, and over 280 feet in

IMPROVEMENT FOR
LOOKOUT CHANNEL
MAY BE APPROVED
Representative Barden
Very Jubilent Over
Late Prospects
Would Open Ail-Weather
Way For Boats To Ocean
Representative Graham A.
Barden who spent a few hours
in Beaufort last Sunday after
noon is very much encouraged
over the prospect for a favor
able report from the War De
partment on the proposed
dredging of an 8-foot channel
from Harkers Island throuch
Shackleford Banks to Cape
Lookout Bight. However defi
nite word as to the recommen
dation and report will have tn
come later from Washington.
In the meantime, however, it
is believed that finally the in
vestigators have come to see
the proposed work on the fav
orable light which Mr. Barden
has viewed it ever since he first
introduced the resolution for
improvement of the project.
In a wire to The Beaufort News
today, the Third District Congress
man stated: "Impossible to forward
additional information until authoriz
ed by Department." It is understood
that at last the Army Engineers have
submitted to Federal authorities in
the national capital a report which
made public will be of tremendous
interest and importance to all con
cerned, especially the citizens of
Core Sound communities who would
benefit most from this improved aid
to navigation.
The proposal provides for the cut
ting of a slip from Harkers Island to
Cape .Lookout, furnishing, a shorter ,
and much safer method for naviga
tion generally than at present when
it is necessary to go by Beaufort In
let which is not an all weather route.
The proposition would furnish $75,
000 for cutting and deepening the
slip for several miles. Ever since
Representative Barden has been in
Congress he has been working for
this project. He has personally ap
peared before the War Department
Board on several occasions in behalf
of the project. Hugh Hill, W. H.
Taylor and T. Murray Thomas of
Beaufort and Earl Davis of Harkers
Island have also appeared personally
before the War Department Board in
Washington in behalf of this project.
