VFW Feeds Little Leaguers The Jones-Austin Vf W Post was host to about 250 Little Leaguers and their parents Sunday afternoon. The boys did away with 400 hot dogs and the same number of drinks. Some of the Little Leaguers are shown here. Adults in the nieture are, left to right, Ralph Whit ley, Mrs. Foster Morris, president of the women's auxiliary; Foster Morris, post commander, William McKay, Mrs. William McKay, A1 Thomas, past district commandcr, Fred Harvey and Mrs. Fred Har vey.

Little League District Play Begins Thursday at Havelock : f Large Kings , Speckled Trout , Croakers Caught ny dud Minrsun Summer kings in fall sizes, croakers in so-called Virginia sizes, speckled trout in the Haystack, two new records, these were some of the highlights of weekend fish ing: accounting for some good catches of big kings were Harriet L II, with 14, including one at 30 pounds; Dolphin, 15; Sea Raven. 10; Bunny Too, 9; Dolphin II, Gulf Breeze and Shearwater, 8 each; Greta D 14. Calling the big croakers "Vir ginia" croakers reminds us of the Oregon Inlet fisherman who refused to discuss the big blues if they were going to be called ??Hatteras" blues. But whatever they're called they are abundant in sound and river. As for new records, H. II. Fish of Raleigh caught a 5-pound floun der, and Wayne Rierson of Tobac coville caught a 5-pound sheeps head, both in Newport River. Mr. Fish, whose favorite fish are cobia and trout, brought in 21 speckled trout from the Haystack area of the river. Although daytime fishing from the piers on the ocean side has i been slow, early morning and , laic aucrnoon are prooucing lair runs of blues and Spanish mac 1 kerel. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Essex of Winston-Salem checked back at Bridge view Motel with a half bushel of blues. Kings and tarpon are still the big fish holding pier anglers' in terest. Sportsman Pier reported 4 big kings landed Sunday. Inshore, Henry Holt's Modoc picked up 2 Spanish and 12 blues in about 45 minutes; Tommy Lulu ; had 15 Spanish; Edna, 49 blues, 4 Spanish and 2 kings; Sandy, 23 blues. Sea bass and porgies are best from the headboats. The new Jack Piper VII, sailing daily at 7 a.m. from her berth at the foot of 8th Street, is featuring Tues day as ladies' day, just like at the baseball games. ! Late weekend reports show a definite improvement in ocean and sound pier fishing: at Fleming's two Durham fishermen caught 180 ; croakers, hogfish and blues on cork rigs; at Mom and Pop's a Mr. Fleming from Greenville caught 150 big croakers; from Bunch's night fishing for blues is improv ing, with good croaker fishing during the day. "LETS SEE NOW . . . What's That Rate For Age 8 Months?" Well, little fellow, maybe you better let Dad do the figuring on Durham Life's FIRST ESTATE POLICY, even if it is for your future. The FIRST ESTATE POLICY helps your child take his first step toward creating a permanent estate and financial independence. The policy insures his insurability by an au tomatic increase at age 21 to five times the original amount, with no increaaeinpremium. Consult any Durham Life agent for details. Apply Box a.

Outboard Runs Wild Sunday An outboard motorboat with a high-powered motor ran wild Sun day at Shackleford Banks. The boat has not been identified. It was towing a water skier. The bkier fell off and the boat made a sharp turn, throwing the driver into the water. The boat, without a pilot, spun and spun in a circle, no one able to go near it because of the speed it was travelling. It was not cir cling wide, but spinning on ita stern. Other boats went close to it, but no one dared to jump aboard, nor could a line be attached to it. Finally, after ?bout 20 minutes, the motor stopped and it was taken in tow. Another event on the water skiing front ? with less tragic overtones ? is Ray Willis of More head City, who has nailed a chair to his water skiis and now skims the waters of Bogue Sound sitting down. 80TA' ? ^ SUMMER COLD ?* & symptomatic OOO RELIEF Hearing (Continued from Page 1 > John Seitter, Morehead City, called the NCKA report "biased". James Simpkins, New Bern, sen ator elect from the seventh dis Irict, representing Onslow Cotinly oystermen. pointed out places where Onslow oystermcn objected to Ihe report. Relative to the charge ill the report that oystermen are plant ing "trash" instead of shells, Mr. Seitter declared that if the oyster men are doing such, they would be hurting themselves. Relative to the report's stating that Hyde County wants no oyster seed or shell planting as carried out at present, Mr. Seitter request- I ed that money that formerly would have been used in llyde County be used in Carteret. He quoted figures to show how catches hav? improved in Shell Bay under the state program, and gave figures on the number of I convictions obtained by the law I enforcement division to show that fisheries inspectors are on the job. | Cecil Morris, chairman of the, commercial fisheries commi)ta>, ] said that he had no fault to flrtd with Commissioner Holland or Dr. Chestnut. He said he felt the re port was based on opinions of peo ple "carrying a chip on their shoul der." Under questioning by Commis sioner Holland. Roy Watson, pres ident of the NCFA, admitted that there were improvements in the oyster program in 1958. Mr. Wat son also added that the criticisms voiced in the report "may or may not be true"! Commissioner Holland said that the money being spent on the oys ter program is money spent to ben efit the oystermcn, adding, "I know that (the report) is not the opinion of the oystermcn of North Carolina." Defends Institute Dr. H. J. Humm, associate pro fessor of biology, Duke University, said that the Institute of Fisheries Research, UNC, which Dr. Chest nut heads, has some of the finest marine experts in the world and it disturbs him to see how little their opinions are valued. Eric Rodgers, of the fisheries advisory board, said that the state spent $60,000 several years ago on evaluation of the oyster industrv. He said if oystermen want more law enforcement, he'd like to see representatives from each of the 27 commercial fishing counties go with Commissioner Holland before the advisory budget commission and get the money to do it. David Beveridge, Beaufort, re quested that the regulation pro hibiting shrimping on Saturday be repealed. He said the shrimp sea son has been very poor and shrimping on Saturday would be of help to those shrimpers who are hard pressed to pay their bills. In answer to a request by Dr. Humm, chairman Morris said the regulation was put into effect as a conservation measure, "to give the shrimp a rest." Some Rest! Captain Beveridge said, "Well, they're sure getting a rest this summer." Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Biake, Wil mington, speaking for the weekend for-home use shrimpers, said that Saturday was the only time they could shrimp because they worked in an office all week. Fred Whitaker, publicist for the NCFA, who wrote and presented the oyster report, said that if any change is made, the shrimping should be stopped at Friday noon G. T. Hewitt, Shallotte, spoke in favor of doing away with the Sat urday shrimping ban. Ollie Marine, Snead's Ferry, and senator-elect Simpkins spoke in favor of prohibiting power dredg ing for oysters in New River.
