SpruiU of tha state highway pa trol, reported today, but all ham been recovered. Two persons hare been Aarged with auto larceny, Ann Curry, of Camp Lejeone and New Bern, an8 Roy Y. Hudson, of ' Cherry Point The production of food fish in North Carolina from July 1, 1948 to June 30, 1949, showed a de crease from previous years Capt. John A. Nelson, fisheries com missioner, told the Board of Con servation and Development Tues day. But there were more men haden boats fishing last fall than ever before, the commissioner re ported. Approximately 60 boats fished out of Beaufort inlet, in cluding the non-resident boats chartered by resident menhaden plant*. "1 was told that more menhad en were seen between Hatteras and Cape Lookout than had ever been seen at one time," Captain Nelson commented. A record was set in shrimping. The state produced 7,219,667 pounds in 1948 49 as against 4, 264,883 pounds last year (heads on). There was an increase in oy ster production, but a drop in the market for hard and softshcll crabs, and clams. Regarding the food fish drop. ! Captain Nelson said, "The prod uction of food fish the past year has not been up to what it has been in the previous years. _ The main fishing season is the fall of the year and the catch of fish de pends largely on weather condi tions because most of the fish, mullets in particular are caught along the beaches. We had quite a few catches of roe mullet on the inside but they were small catches compared to those mude on the beaches when the "run" was on during favorable conditions. The past shad and herring season was I one of the poorest we have ever I had. As you probably know, the production from this activity is j subject to sharp change . . . "We produced 171,686 tubs ol oysters as against 153,740 tubs last year, or a gain of 17,926 tubs. We planted 163.175 tubs of oyster shells in Hyde, Pamlico, Carteret and Brunswick counties. Dr. A. F. Chestnut, ot the Institute of FiaiMrtea Research, will check soon the different- places where oyster shells are planted and will report to the Board the condition of the sets. We also planted 10,176 tubs of oysters in Hyde, Pamlico and Dare counties. We produced 20, 806 bushels of clams this year as against 24,473 bushels last year. There were as many clams as ever before tut we have not had the market lor them. "We produced 30.666 dozen soft crabs as against 36.812 dozen last year. The catch of hard crabs this year was 2,183,710 pounds as against 4,102,470 pounds last year. We had just as many crabs but there was less market for them. "The 1949 General Assembly ap propriated 950,000 to purchase a boat to take over the duties of the Hatteras. This boat will patrol our outside waters particularly to keep non-resident trawlers beyond the three mile limit and to check on non-resident menhaden fishing north of Cape Hatteras. This out- 1 side pa'rol is haiardous work es pecially at night around Hattcraa, and t hope the new boat can be 1 secured and made ready to take 1 over this work between November 1st and 15th, as that is the time the trawlers come down. Also, the usefulness of the Hatteras on this patrol has about come to its end," the commissioner reported. He concluded with the following financial report: "Our receipts for this year were 160,397.89 and dis bursements $122,525.12, including 96,089.44 we turned over to the Shellfish Division; our appropria tion was $62,127.23. The Governor and Council of State gave us 93, 985 for radios to be installed on the boats but we did not purchase the radios during this period; therefore, we transferred the 93, 985 to be used during 1949-50 along with 91.200 for truck pur chase." Fisheries Committee OKs Radio-Telephone Station Further assistance in this area's attempt to have a ma rine radio-telephone station lo cated in Carteret county was received this week when a di vision of the State Board of Conservation and Development joined in the fight. The commercial fisheries com mittee of the board with W. Roy Hampton, Plymbuth, as chairman this week passed a resolution to be sent to the Federal Communications com mission endorsing a marine op erator station in Carteret coun ty. In making the resolution the committee instructed that a copy of it should be sent also to the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company and South ern Bell Telephone company.

Open For Swimmers This Weekend The swimming, picnicking, and \ bathhouse areas at Fort Macon State Park will not be open to the public this weekend. That was the reply given yes terday in answer to the query* "Are state parks' authorities go ing to open the park this week end as scheduled?" Despite elaborate blueprints showing projected plans for the park, apologies for not inform ing the public when part of the park was closed, and promises that the. park would be open July 30, the principal portion of Fort Macon State Park will not be open to the public today, tomor row, the day after, nor probably for days to come. Three weeks ago considerable public furor was aroused when it was disepvered that signs had been erected in the park stating: "Park Open For Historical Pur poses, Swimming and Picnicking Not Permitted." Following a News-Times expose of the situa tion, Charles C. Stott, assistant superintendent of state parks, hurried to Morehead City to a pologize for not notifying the public and the newspaper of the reasons fo; erecting the signs. Mr. Stott .stated tfcat the signs were put up in order to keep visitors out of the area where the state was constructing a bathing, picnicking, and bathhouse section. He displayed blueprints showing a planned 592 foot boardwalk,; bathhouse, refreshment stand, reg ular parking area for 352 cars and overflow area for 180 cars. He also showed plans for a 40 table picnic area. "Even though some of the work may not be completed before the end of the summer," the parks' official stated, "we expect to have the main part of it open by the Weekend of July 30." Neve rtheless, investigations Wednesday disclosed that the boardwalk has not been laid, the refreshment stand is not finished, and the parking: area (the main hindrance to opening the area) is far from complete. Bulldozers were still busy clearing the park ing area and heavy gravel was yet to be obtained and placed over the cleared sand. The bath house was almost ready for busi ness, however. One of the park employees said "sure did hope it will be open be fore the summer's over. That way we might be able to tell how much business we will have next year and plan for it. It might be the last of August before things ara ready, though." The fourth break-in and third theft in less than two weeks occur red in Beaufort this week when a thief or thieves entered the cam era shop of Hoy Eu banks* Turner street, between noon and 2 p. m. Monday and stole an eight milli meter Eastman moving picture camera valued at $75. At the time, Mrs. Kubanks was 1 in the rear of the shop taking a ! picture. Curtains were drawn be- j tween the front and rear of the shop. ! Regular customers of Mr. Eu banks were contacted to sec if 1 any of them had borrowed the camera but the search was fruit less. Beaufort police were call ed in and investigated the case, j finding no postive evidence or j leads. The theft was the third in | Beaufort within one week. Tues day night a week ago money and valuables were stolen from the , apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Ken neth Prest, Saturday night $300 was stolen from the home of E. T. Bcllamah and then the day- 1 light theft on Monday at Eubanks. Chief of Police Louis Willis re ported there are no developments ! on the case of Mrs. John T. Noc, , who was severelly beaten about the head as she slept during the j early morning hours of July 19 The intruder and attacker, in that , case, was reported to have enter- j ed by a window. 'Peeper' Brings Police on Ron A false "peeping torn" ularni that should have been stopped where it began was received by Morehead City Police Sunday night. Sunday at 11 p. m. the polioi. received a chU from t h^ Jefferson1 Hotel stating that an occupant of one dT its ground floor rooms had heard noises outside and suspect ed that a peeping torn was at work. The police rushed to the hotel only to find that the whole affair was a false alarm that hotel em ployees could have easily quieted. The cause of the trouble was one hotel employee, the yardsman, who had been sent out to water the graSs. The noise of the spraying water had alarmed the room occupant who in turn alarmed hotel em ployees, the same people who had sent the yardsman out to do his i job. Police decided to "wash their hands" of the matter.
