Fisheries Men Roll with 'Blow' From Florida North Ctrplln* fisher??s expects were more amused than angry thia week over irrational state ments by Florida' > conservation director, Ernest Mitta. Mitts, angry because he claims North Carolina shrimpers are fish ing Florida's Pry Tortugas shrimp waters, said, "They have ruined their own shrimping up there and now they are down here and don't care what happens to ours." C. G. Holland, Tar Heel fisheries commissioner, said he couldn't make any comment on North Caro lina shrimpers' raiding Florida's closed areas because he knew nothing of it, first hand. He did say that Mitt's comments about North Carolina's depleted shrimp fishery is unfounded. Dr. A. F. Chestnut, director of the Institute of Fisheries Research, UNC, Morehead City, said that any statements about shrimp fish ing areas here being ruined are "erroneous". Not many brown-spotted shrimp have been caught here since the season opened. A few have been taken in the ocean and some in Core Sound, but the lack of ahrimp is attributed to the severe winter when lots of young shrimp and other young fish froze. Shrimp fishermen hope that the run of brown shrimp, which us ually comes in July, will be good. Board (Contlnned from Page 1) answered an alarm last month to Wright's potato house. Police commissioner Math Chap lain reported 17 arrests in May, 246 meter violations and four other parking violations.

The board approved ordering next year'a auto tags from Prison Industries. Mayor Lewis, Mr. Smith and Mr. Hill will attend a League of Municipalities meeting next Thurs day at Clinton.

Newport town attorney George Ball baa be*n instructed by Dm town board to investigate the le gality of an ordinance forbidding residents uf Newport to uae pri vate water supplies. Mayor lion Mann Jr. aaid that (hallo* wells, la particular, were dangerous sources of drinking water because of the great number of septic tanks in town. "There are piany shallow wells in t?v? tint are only a f?W teat from the drain field of a septic tank. Tbare are also mapy low ditehai is town that hold stagnant water until it seeps into the ground near somebody's well," the mayor declared. Newport has a state-approved water system but many citizens Good News About By Harry Venters, 4-H Advisor A very important 4-H event is just around the cornier. Of course I'm talking about the district 4-H demonstration contests. This event will be held on June It, at the school building in Washington, N. C. On this day, 4-H'ers (ram the 16 counties making up the eastern district, will compete with each other for the right to represent our district in the state contest. Demonstrations on many farm and home subjects will be given. There will be given demonstra tions on forestry, bee keeping, to bacco production, dairy foods, electric, livestock conservation, fruit and vegetable use, produc tion, and marketing, entomology, and many others. The 4-H Public Speaking contest is also held during this day of many activities. Talent contests are also held and some of the blue ribbon winners from this group will furnish entertainment during 4-H Club Week in Raleigh. This is another event that you are invited to attend. You can't possibly see it all this day as all demonstrations are tak ing place at the same time In va rious school rooms, but you will be able to pick the subject or sub jects that interest you most and watch those demonstrations. This y#nr there will also be a dress revue, and only the top four winners will b? selected to repre sent our eastern district. So make a note of the place, Washington, N. C., beginning at 9:45 a.m., on June 18th. I really believe you will enjoy seeing the boys and girls from Carteret County and the other counties in our district give their demonstrations. I hope that the boys and girls are working on their demonstra tion' right now, and that all of them will be district winners. This will mean an all-expense paid trip to state 4-H Club Week in Raleigh, where they will compete with other district winners for state honors. But win or lose, they will have gained some good experience and knowledge by participating in this event. And while it's not exactly easy to work up a good demon stration. I know that they get a lot of enjoyment from it, too. It may be the fact that they get to meet and compete against 4 H'ers from ether counties, or just knowing that they have tried, but it seems to put them a little ahead of others. If you're a 4-H'er and are not giving a demonstration this year, why don't you decide to participate next year? I know you can do it! Johnny Thrower, Newport 4-H'er, is now attending 4-H forestry camp. Johnny was last year's for estry project winner and this means a free week at camp. At this camp Johnny will receive in structions on many forestry sub jects as well ai have i WM fun. He will learn to measure a tree have rafused to bat* onto the aew line*. mayor said that one man paid $220 for a new wmp for his well rather than pay a 175 tap-on fee to the water tyatem.

The commissioners wil| f?l|ow ?h? suggestion, they (aid Street commissioner Bennie Gar ner was instructed to stake oqt a street between East Forrest Drive ?nd the old Newport Road. The road can be included in the tovfs's Powell Bill report if it is graded right away. I.t'S Bercegeay of the Cherry Point Veterans Mutual Housing Administration attended the meet ing and brought up the problem of an unpaved road in the hous ing administration project. The commissioners voted to put marl on the road as soon as possible with the intention to pave it at a later date. To Pave Street Commissioner C. H. Lockey made a motion to pave East Rail road Street. The motion was passed after considerable discus sion of other streets which needed paving. Uayor Mann said that he had noticed several citizens still driv ing without town tags on their cars. Town policeman Dan Bell was instructed to give these peo ple tickets to appear in mayor's court. Fire Chief C. A. Gould Jr. pre sented a proposed budget for the fire department for 1958-59. The total budget came to $1,522.80. The chief broke it down into the fol lowing categories: Operations, $162.40; training, $350; maintenance, $271.40; con struction. $200; equipment, $285; salary, $60; and miscellaneous, $200. Attorney Ball presented an ordi nance closing Main Street between to see how many board feet it will yield, forest safety, tree identifi cation and many other things. Maybe I can get Johnny to tell you all about it when he comes back. Those of you that have forestry as your 4-H project, work hard and turn in the best forestry rec ord book this fall. Then next June you will be enjoying camp life like Johnny Thrower is now. Contest (Continued from Put t) Creak. She will entef Meredith Upstage la t!? (all. I?

The ordinance was passed unanimously. Mr. Bercegeay asked the com missioners about setting aside a park for Little League baseball. After a discussion of the problems involved in public parks, the com missioners told Mr. Bercegeay to go back to his organization and ask if the members wanted to lease the land for a nominal sum or agree to let the land be dedi cated. The housing administration is planning to build a field and make other improvements on a piece of land near their project. No one attended the meeting to object to the town's planning de velopment one mile beyond the town limits. The commissioners could supervise the naming of streets to prevent duplication, check on sewer lay-outs and do other planning specified by an ordinance to be prepared by Mr. BaU. Commissioners present at the meeting were Mr. Lockey, Wilbur Garner, Douglas Henderson and Bennie Garner. Port (CMtiMed from rage 1) ports officials are well aware of the need a?d sincere effort* are beiu n#?de to rental* the WOT* out loading equipment that ateve dorea are compelled to vyork wUh. Mr. rrtoderichs said that We longshoremen are doing an *lm?at superhuman job with the loading machinery available to them. Appearing before the authority was John Goylc, Panville. Va., traf fic manager for the tobacco firm of nibrell Brothers. Mr. Goyk said the availability of steamship service and warehous ing facilities are of prime import ance to tobacco exports. Often, he said, freight rates to North Caro lina ports are cheaper, but that warehousing and shipping are bet ter at such places as Newport News and Norfolk, Va. His firm has used Wilmington, he said, and is investigating ware housing possibilities at Morehead City. However, he had been in formed a new 90, 000- square-foot warehouse under construction there has already been overcommitted. Storage Required He recommended vast expansion in storage facilities at both the North Carolina ports. Lumber and veneer men also had the same suggestion. Tom Bled soe of Greensboro, whose lumber firm imports from three countries, said the lumber industry needs a guarantee of sailings and service. At the port his firm now uses they can get a half carload of lumber into port without difficulty. Also there is adequate storage with lum ber carefully covered and ? when needed ? treated. Veneer men pointed out that their imports are logs and requires a mill close to port site. They also pointed out that large warehousing facilities are needed at ports. Shipping Date Fletcher Wall, speaking for the Pat Brown Lumber Co. of High Point, said his firm exports more lumber than it imports ? chiefly pine. Their first problem at North Carolina ports is the 17 days prior to shipping date required to get the lumber to port. Rain often makes this impossible. Pine has to be shipped dry. Their second problem is storage. He said there is not enough profit to allow for two handling charges. Ports like Norfolk offer the use of transit sheds for storage, necessi tating only one handling charge. Chairman Reeves said the dis cussions had opened up "quite a field" for investigation, and he promised that the ports authority would "follow through."
