Captains Elect Marlin Queen Morehead City party boat captains have elected Miss Barbara Jessup as Blue Marlin Queen. Here she poses with five of the eight marl in landed off Morehead City within a week. The largest marlin weighed in at 381 pounds and was 10 feet 10 inches long. It was caught by Claude Morrison of Monroe from an Ottis Purifoy boat. New Boys Baseball League Registration is Tomorrow Boys interested in playing base ball in a league for 13-16 year-olds can register at the Morehead City High School at 6 p.m. tomorrow. R. C. Harrell, Joseph Nolan and Charlea King will be on the front __ steps of the school at that time to talk to boys who want to play ball. Any parents or other interest ed adults are al90 urged to come to registration. Several attempts have been made in the past to organize a league for boys too old to play in Little League. Not until this year, however, have there been enough graduates from Little League to make the older league competitive. A number of Morehead business men have agreed to supply the boys with balls and bats. Mr. King says the money will be there but there may be a lack of adults to supervise the program. "If you want your boy to keep playing ball even though he has aged out of Little League, it will be to your advantage to be at the high school at 6 tomorrow night," Mr. King concluded. The biggest marlin yet was landed yesterday afternoon on the Dolphin I, George Bedsworth, skipper. The boat radioed to its home port, Capt. Ottis Purifoy's doeks, that the marlin was close to 11 feet. Fishing aboard the Dolphin I is C. H. Safrit and party of China Grove. They will make port this afternoon. The two-day party left Morehead City yester day morning. The Lucky Seven Ottis Purifoy fleet has landed four of the nine marlin caught out of Morehead City this season. Yesterday's was the first landed since last Monday, June 2. vlarine Captain Uses ?lane to Tow Water Skis By N. J. MALECKI Cherry Point? Ever wonder what it's like to take a spill from water skis while skimming the water at over 65 mph? If you're interested in getting the answer to that ques tion contact Marine Captain Frank Volney of the Second Marine Air craft Wing here at the Marine Corps Air Station. In addition to the answer he has the bruises to prove it. After about an hour's time on water skis, last summer and this year, the Marine Air Group-24 as sislant logistic i officer found the art of water skiing behind a high speed boat not too difficult. Looking for something just a little different and more daring, he now hooks his tow line to an airplane. On a Sunday morning you can find him at the Trent River near New Bern hanging on to the tow line that's hooked to a Cessna single engine plane equipped with floats. Piloting the plane is his friend, ex-Air Force Captain Jack Taylor, TRAINED PORPOISE AND SEA TURTLE EXHIBIT Opening Soon AT Sound Beach Pool Atlantic Beach Causeway Presenting Milton Santina and Wife of Marathon, Fla. Experienced Porpoise Trainer Some of the Largest Sea Turtles in Captivity > ; > Three Women Enter New Bern Tourney Mrs. Norman Scchlcr and Mrs. Catherine McCuiston Oliver of Charlotte are staying with Mrs. Oliver's mother, Mrs. C. C. Mc Cuiston, while all three women play in the North Carolina Wo men's Golf Association tournament at New Bern. Mrs. McCuiston is a member of the board of directors of the asso ciation. She is the wife of More head City golf Pro "Mac" McCuis ton. The tournament will determine the women's state golf champion ship. It will be the ninth annual championship event. Play will lie at the New Bern Golf and Country Club. Last year the tournament was played at Hickory. now in the lumber business in New Bern. From a normal water start skis resting on the river bottom? Volney rises to the water's sur face and is skimming the waves within 20 feet as the Cessna takes to the air at 65 mph and picks up speed. What does it feel like back there? Valney says, "turn your garden hose on full pressure, get a fine spray from the nozzle, and have someone hold it in your face ?now you know what the back wash of water from the plane's propeller feels like." As for spills ? "They're sensa tional"? Volney admitted. He took five spills on his last outing and has an abundance of blue bruises in a very obvious spot. As a safety precaution Volney advises, "don's try this without a safety crew." His safety crew in cludes his wife, Margaret, and three New Bern residents, Theo dore Baxter, and Mr. and Mrs. Albert McSorley. They follow along after the "low flying captain" in an outboard run-about. Volney has also enlisted the aid of a faster inboard motor boat with his friends Mr. and Mrs. Carl Wooten and a Mr. and Mri. Kirk of Kinston aboard as an added precaution. When he gets 300 feet of rope (to cut down on the back-wash) and his bruises heal. Captain Volney will be out in the Trent River again on water skis establishing a regional "first" for the Marine Corps. Most paper used for US bank notes is produced in Dalton, Mass. I want to thank you, the voters of Carteret County, who voted for me and supported my candidacy for coroner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. L D.
