PAGE TWO THE BE A UFO Rl SEWb BEAUFORT, N. C. Thursday, November 11. 1937 The Beaufort News caught. No one has given any explanation why the tremen fnblisb'd evtry Thursday at Beau-'dous run of shrimp struck in fort, Carteret County, North Car. Core Sound a few days ago. Some persons are of the opin ion that they came lrom Pamli co Sour.d and were migrating towards the ocean. Others are of the opinion that they hap pened there because of Drupi Inlet, that gateway to the sea which was cut through Core Banks during the September storm of 1933. Regardless of how they got there, the appear ance of the shrimp have leen a God-send to fishermen who go down to the sea in trawl boats after them from day to day throughout the year. W, O.

Thursday, November 11, 19371 Zion Mason, native of Stum py Point, and a resident of Beaufort is now business man ager of N. C. Fisheries Inc., in 1 Morehead City. He has succeed I ed John Sikes who established the Fisheries, and whom he as-i ' sisted in the management for , about 18 months. Quite fre quently when John Sikes was at the controls of Fisheries Inc., especially durng its early days, criticism was directed at the plant. Many persons were of the opinion that John Sikes, ' ex-newspaperman could not Carteret Should Have , possiblv know anything about Fire Warden Service ; the fishing business and that. With the possible exception, as a result he had no business of one or two other counties holding the position he was Carteret is the only one in the; holding. Others, especially in state classified as a timber dependent dealers claimed county which does not have from time to time that the gov Forest Fire Warden protection.

That is probably because this newspaper has not always been on the griendliest terms with the Carteret board of commissioners. At the present fishing industry. He time should a fire start in any engaged in fishing of acres are burned over before it is extinguished by rain or the shores of a bay or river. If Carteret had forest fire protec tion like practically every oth er Eastern Carolina county the blazes could be curbed before; a tremendous amount of dam-' age had occurred. As a result of the forest fire protection' not only the timberlands, but! the wildlife would be saved. 1 During seasons when wild life,; gijail, deer and other birds and animals are scarce the blame is usually due to forest fires which have baked the wildlife alive. At this particular seas on the woodslands are very dry. If a fire gets started there is no way to estimate the great damage it will do before it finally burns out. Springtime is the worst time for fires it seems though, here in Carteret. A forest fire during the Spring And now Sikes is no longer ac tively connected with the or ganization. He resigned and asked to be relieved of active duty on November 1. Zion Mason his successor has a world of knowledge about the has been for the greater part of his life and he comes from a fishing town, if there ever was one. Here is hoping Zion Mason will make a tremendous success of his new job and here is also hop ing that the various controver sies which have arisen from time to time between the inde pendent dealers and the Fish eries are over forever. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION The United States Civil Service Commission has announced an open competitive examination for the po sition of senior veterinarian (animal disease research), $4,600 a year, in the Bureau of Animal Industry. Ap plicants must have completed a course leading to a degree in a col lege or university with major study in veterinary medicine, and in addi tion, must have had certain specified experience. 1 not only leaves a Darren Waste Full information may be obtained its wake, but it burns alive 1 f10m Howard C. Jones, Secretary of nestling birds and suckling an- the U. S. Civil Service Board of'Ex imals. The State and Federal aminers, at the post office in this government cooperate with the 1 city. counties which adopt forest. fire warden service. The cost: M: V---- r io a a llllCLlI vrwilS to Carteret would amount to : only a few hundred dollars a; year, an amount which is even 1 lower perhaps, than some of the owners of large timber' tracts pay in taxes annually. . Cartaret county owes it to the timber owning tax payers to! adopt forest tire service and. the humans who make up the board of commissioners would ; also be doing a humane work if1 they adopted fire warden ser-j vice to protect the nestling birds and suckling animals. If ; Carteret county does not soon' adopt Forest Fire Warden Sen-' vice of its own accord then Carteret county will be forced by state and federal agencies! to adopt same. Mark those words. , Private Air Field Shrimp By The Millions I Shrimp by the millions have1 been shooting through the wa-, ters of Core Sound and other j nearby waters during the past several days. Trawlers who de-j rive a livelihood from catching these crustaceans have been realizing a profit from their efforts after several seasons when the shrimping was not good. Down near Sea Level last week-end it is estimated that a hundred thousand pounds of shrimp were taken by the trawlers. Some of the crews made catches that net ted them several hundred dol lars. But a run of millions Miss Geoi-fi-ina P. Viatman who bought the Open Grounds and Per quimans Plantation seveial months ago has constructed an airplane han ger and landing fiel.l on the proper ty. The landing fields are in two sections, one running north and south the other east anil west. This ar rangement gives a flyer an opportu nity to land a plane under any wind conditions. The field is marked with wind socks so that the avia tor or aviatrix, as it will be in Miss Veatman's case, can tell from the air which way the wind is blowing on the two fields. A cr-.w of workmen are engaged at the present time in digging ditches to drain the uin ways an-.l also filling a runway to the hanger. Miss Ycatman owns and flies her own plane, and has made several trips down from Philadelphia by that method. Smyrna Senior Class To Present Class Play The Senior Class of Smyrna High School will present their ar. mal play on November 18, 1937 in the Smyrna School Auditorium at 7:30 P. M. A small admission will be charged. The play "Baby Steps Out" is an unusual comedy filled with laughter and interest. The plot centers about the family life in an averae-e familv.

SERGEANT BELL Continued from page one) Alps mountains. The atmosphere here wasn't good the day we were out so we missed this wonderful sight. The people in the villages are very kind to us and do what they can for our comfort and we in turn help them to harvest their crops, etc. Young men are curiosities in this part of the country and the youn;: women work in the munitions factor ies. These people will not be whipped they have every confidence in their government and army, and every man buys all the bonds he can from time to time. It docs me good to know the people in Beaufort are so patriotic, tell them to not worry for an instant the Huns will never fight again after this war for they are going to get a thorough thrashing, j one that they never vviil recover j from.

PLATTSBURG Continued from page one supervises the Yeatman acreage in Carteret which includes the Opean Grounds and Perquimans Plantation told me about the old horse with a military, race track and polo field career I did not grasp the human in terest makings for this article. It was not until I returned to Beaufort that it dawned on me that Platts burg, 's career was an Armistice Day Story No. 1 for Carteret county in 1937. The horse has been in the Yeat man family for years. When Miss Georgina P. Yeatman bought the Carteret county property several months ago she sent Plattsburg down to spend his last days on a peaceful pasture. An Irish hostler named Carrigan who has spent most of his life taking care of fine horses came down from Philadelphia to take caie of the Yeatman stables. Plattsburg may have been an out standing racer on the tracks. His career on polo fields may have been worthy of note. But neither of these careers would make a human inter est story if given in detail for ,.,.a.. ers of a newspaper in a sectio.i wile,., little is known about rare h..
