G. W. Gillette, Director y State Ports Authority When river and harbor improve ments or flood control projects are considered and discussed many thousands of inhabitants not situa ted brt the coast or inland rivers fail to show the interest that these subjects should receive. These im provements vitally affect every re sident of the State. Improved wa terways result in better transporta tion facilities which in turn mean lower rates on all commodities shipped and which affects the pocketbook of every individual. In order to secure the maximum benefit resulting from such iin provements, the hitter should not be made in a haphazard way but sh3uld be coordinated in a State wide effort to secure the most ur;; nt improvements and to aid the Federal Government in screening tne numeiuuS requests lor said. It is becoming more necessary yearly to have this State-wide plan ning. Under present economic con ditions, such action is a "must" in Order to survive. A few states awakened to this trend early in the movement and now have active, ag gressive state ports which are not only paying for themselves, hut are showing benefits to the entire state where they are located in increas ed industrial activity and shipping and also in increased employment at high want's, greater opportuni ties for the small business man as well as the large one and a widc- nw.i1ip rnmmiinilv u-ith :i rli.-ivpr awareness of the economic life in ! these post wiir venrs. These facts! "' ""'" therewith, and Ship are easilv verified hv the residents v,;il(ls' shippng facilities incident of these communities. It is also true that such aggressive agencies place a handicap on those commu nities which lack the modern busi ness methods. Unfortunately, North Carolina was one of the latter until a few years ago although few courage ous, far-seeing citizens h.ve been fighting for years for North Caro lina State Ports. In 1045. the State Legislature nassed a bill II. li. No. 816 which brought intn being a State Ports Authority. Through this Authority, the Slate could en gage in promoting, developing, con structing, equipping, maintaining and operating the harbors nnd sen ports within the State and works of internal improvements incidental thereto including the acquisition or construction, maintenance and ope ration at such seaports or harbors of watercraft. terminal railroad and highways and bridges thftreon or essential for the proper operaj( tion thereof. The principal obstacle to the es-' tablishment of efficient Stale Ports agencies is the lack of interest in secionts of the State away from the seacoast. which sections cannot visualize how benefits can accrue to its residents. The law was de signed to overcome some of these obstacles. While modern oorts are essential, the North Carolina State Ports Authority proposes to de velop inland ports where desirable to providie the necessary facilities at the port and the requisite chan nels to the State ports. The Auhority is composed of seven members appointed by the Governor. These are: R. B. Page, of Wilmington, Chairman; A. G. Myers, Of Gastonia. Vice Chairman; W. O. Huske, of Fnyettcvlllc, Sec retary and Treasurer; J. H. Whitie, of Winston-Salem. II. S. Gibbs, of Morehead City; S. B. Frink, of Southport and T. Henry Wilson, of Morganton. Colonel George W. Gil lette, U. S. Army, retired, Is the Executive Director of the Author ity and Senator-elect J. Melville Broughton is the Attorney. The purpose of the Authority, as stated in the bill, is for the accom plishment of the following general purposes: "To develop and improve the harbors or seaports at Wilmingtoh, Morehead City, and Southport, and such other places as they may deem feasible for the more expe ditious and efficient handling of water-borne commerce from and to any part of the State of North Ca- N.i of 1011 Arendell street, .

The law enacted is not for the purpose of favoring Wilmington, Morehead City, Southport, or any j other port but is intended for the . benefit of every section of the i State. This benefit is often over I looked but it is real, nevertheless. ' With the establishment of modern State ports with the most efficient i loading and unloading facilities.

Industrial con cerns will be induced to settle in the State in large numbers. This has been the experience of all lo calities where such facilities are furnished and an active and ag gressive organization is busy bring ing them to the attention of ship pers and industrialists. The situa tion today is, the establishment of such modem State ports is a "must". Lacking such ports the shipping is diverted to neighboring states where the modern facilities are furnished.

C. If it hadn't been for the northeaster last Week Jack and Suzanne Zchrt of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and myself, would have paid a visit to Diamond Lightship which is anchored 13 miles off the tip of this cape arid five miles or so beyond Diamond Shoals. We had do a good job of cleaning up the beaches of vacationists a week be fore Labor Day. The story the Zehrts and myself had planned would have been more tactual than John had written we would make pictures in black and white lha would give pers ins an dea of what America's most modem ship of its type looks like. We. Suzanne and myself, in feature stories or columns w.iuM say lhat Diamond Lightship occupies one of the most dangerously expnst d lions with the warehouses nnd docks. The engineers also have plans under wav for enlarging the terminal facilities at Morehead City. At the same time agents from the Authority will scour the Stale interviewing shippers and indus trialists, enlisting their support and requesting their cooperation in the development of the port, at the same time pledging the Authority to do everything within its power to provide the shipper with better, or at least, equal facilities at no greater cost than shipping through 1 Satc ports. which is essenial to attain the de ' sired end, a North Carolina Water ways Association is being formed with headquarters in Wilmington to handle or assist on a State wide basis all worthy efforts for the im provement of its waterways, not only in the interest of navigation, but also for flood control, drainage, irrigation, correction of pollution, erosion and similar subjects. The Association will be a non-profit organization devoted to the wel fare of the waterways and acting as spokesman for many Interested in these subjects. Crtlonel G. W. Gillette, Director of the State Ports Authority, Radio Building, Wilmington, N.

It decs. We would explain about the electronic gadgets that make this ship So modern in its class, and Jack and I would make-plctuics of the gadgets if there wci'e no restrictions. Bob Garland who was once photo editor of the Saturday Eve ning Post had made pictures aboard the present ship's predeces sor in 1946. That was my last trip out there in the rolling blue waters at the edge of the stream where the lonely little red ship with its dual beacons rides out gales and never goes anywhere except ;o Hampton Roads once or twice each year in order that the giant barnacles and the goose-necks may be scraped from her bottom while a general overhaul is underway. I have been to Diamond Light ship many times. Tom Eaton used to take me out there fishing There was the suummer that we, or ra ther he, exploited the Waters for sailfish without success. We would stop at the lightship each morn ing nnd get the flying fish which the crew had caught for us the previous night. Flying fish are ideal for sailfish bait even if v.e were never lucky enough to catch one. The lightship crew wou.d open up the big cargo door in the side of the ship after dar1;, turn on an electric linht and the illumi nation would attract the lUh. They would fly towards the liglr ,;iij drop on the deck where the new members would pick them no and save for us the following day. I remember we had live .lays ofl offshore fishiny without a break and that is unusual becaus i:sual Iv the weather off Cape llalteras does not treat one so kindly. One day while off near the light ship we sighted a ghoslly lookirg white shark. This inteiested me no end, because not long before that time (it was in ihe early Thirties) there had l.een a story in Esquire Magazine about a white shark that had been caught off Pt. Lookout. For many years thereafter I tied in tint while shark with Cape Lookout, thinking that the man who had written the story had erred. Then, duri 'g the War, the charts in one oi the operational intelligence offices I operated had plenty about Pt. Lookout ui) on the Chesapeake. The author was right and I was wrong in my error findings it was Point Lookout wh re he had caught the shark. Then, last year It was, I felt vindicated to a certain extent when one of the commercial shark fish erman operating off ('ape Lookout came in with a liver thai had been estimated to have weighed 1,000 pounds as it Was removed from a 26-foot White shark that was so large they did not attempt to bring it into port, but removed the liver in tubs and buckets as the shark wds lashed alongside the boat. There ore while shark off Ihe coast 1 'j and they are what the shark fish errtiln who go after vitamin filled livers for a livelihood consider as Ihe true man-eater. I am beginning to wonder whe ther this column is supposed to be about Diamond Lightship which inspired it, or white shark, that came swimming into the copy in some manner. What I meant to do was wrile a bang-up story crammed with in formation about the lightships which have occuoicd the Diamond station orf Cape Hatteras slace 1B 97 except for brief intervals. One such interval was during mid-September in 1SKW. That was the lime that the little ship which traditionally "never goes hurri cane. Another such interval was in 1!)1!1 when a German submarine opened fire on a merchant ship about a mile and a half away from the anchored Diamond Lightship The Lightship wirelessed a warn ing to vessels in the vicinity and the submarine promptly sank her. The crew were permitted to ahan don ship before the Germans ripen ed fire, which was more than the Germans did in the same waters wilh merchant and war vessel! during World War II. They sank them without warnine. ('apt. Joe liurrus, a retired light house keeper at Ocracoke used to tell me this story: That the light ship crew who were permitted te abandon shin in small bouts were so excited that tliey rowed 14 or more miles to the very surf of this Cape Hatteras before they discov ered they had a sail and mast in the boat which would have reliev ed them of much labor had they stepped the mast and unfurled the canvas. Another such interval, when there was no lightship off Cape Hatteras was during World War H. All lightships were ordered in to port and the one which bad ridden out the hurricane of "X. was to become an examination ship in Hampton roads and finally be, sent to the bottom when rammed by a passing freighter. !
