Much credit is due Mr. Van Pot ter of Beaufort, who since his re tirement a few years ago, has taken great interest in the restora tion and upkeep of this early town cemetery. His guided tours among the ancient stones reveal the life and accomplishments of many of the county's early citizens. Amateur Theatres To Observe 'Month' New York (AP)? More than 4,000 community theatres in the United States have been invited to parti cipate in celebrating November as National Community Theatre Month. Main purposes of the project are to recognize the work of local dra matic organizations, and to assist them in widening the scope of ac tivities. Initiated by a magazine (Theatre Arts), the sponsoring committee has Vice President Richard Nixon as an honorary member and in cludes Ralph Bellamy, president of Actor's Equity; Henry Fonda, Cyril Ritchard, Fredric March, Celeste Holm and Eva Le Gal liene.

Newport Class of 1948 Attends Reunion in July The class of 1948 of Newport High School had a class reunion dinner at the Rex Restaurant Sat urday evening, July 12. Sixteen of the 28 members were present. They, with their wives, husbands and guests numbered 36. The class colors, green and white, were carried out in attrac tive arrangements of white glads, white and green candles. The program was as follows: in vocation, Clifford Garner; wel come, Thelma Mann Atwood; re sponse, R. L. Pruit. Tribute to seniors, Mrs. Earle Wade; response, Mrs. Erma Gray Stanaland; history, past events, present 9tatus and dreams of fu ture, Alberta Jones Mann; short talks by Mrs. R. L. Pruit, Mrs. E. W. Tenney, and Earle Wade. After the dinner, tables were re moved and the group enjoyed an informal hour discussing memo ries of by -gone days. 1 The following letter from a class mate in Hawaii was read. Kaneoke Bay, Hawaii Dear Class, I am writing this with fond memories and deep regrets. The fond memories are the wonderful years in high school with all of you, the basketball games, the par ties and dances we all enjoyed to gether. The regrets are that I can not be with you on the 10th anni versary of our graduation to meet and talk over old times with my friends and classmates. Yoki and I are stationed at Kan eoke Bay, Hawaii. Being so far from home makes it impossible for me to be there in person but in this letter I hope in some small way it will keep us close together in memories. God bless and keep each one of July Was Record Month For Coast Guard Assists As July drew to ? close, the Fifth Coast Guard District's log reveals that It has been the most active month in history, with an average of almost 13 assistance cases each day. It was also one of the most disastrous, with a fatality rate of about one per day. Last weekend saw only one death after the previous weekend's eight and the interim period's three (two in Elizabeth City, N. C., and one near the Ocean View area of Nor folk). In last weekend's fatal case, two men were refueling their ljfeot outboard in Corncake Inlet, N. C. Suddenly, the boat began to drift to seaward, and then she capaized. One man, who waa wearing a life Jacket, was aaved. The other waa holding on to the empty gas can and trying to grab a floating life jacket. Then a large wane hit him, and he hasn't been seen since, despite a thorough, three-day land, sea, and air search by the Coast Guard aver a one thousand square mile area. The pilot of one of the air craft reported ominously that vis ibility was good, but that nothing had been sighted except numerous sharks. In another caae, death waa bare ly averted Sunday, when at 1:56 in the afternoon, the Coast Guard buoy tender Hidroaa ovesheard a dtatreaa call en 21B kilocycles |? dicatfcig that a Ban waa overboard from a fishing teeael In the New port News area.

By that time, the man had been found and taken aboard the fish ing boat. While artificial respira tion was being applied to the un conscious man, the patrol boat towed the fishing vessel to the waiting fire department personnel who had been previously notified to meet the boat with an inhalatof on the nearest dock. At 2:35 p.m., the man was breathing normally again and was on his way to complete recovery. Other cases during last weekend were more routine and lesa criti cal. One type of incident, which is cropping up disturbingly often in the Coast Guard Rescue Coor dination Center Log, is illustrated by Case No. *56 In this instance, another Cofoot patrol boat was dispatched Satur day eveMng front TilgBtnan Island to the Knapps Narrows area of Chesapeake Bay. where it was, re ported that a Si-foot eabia cruiser was disabled.

Members of the steering com mittee are the president, Mrs. Willis; Mrs. Harry Garris, New port; Mrs. Charles Harris, Atlan tic; Mrs. James Hunnings, Beau fort; and Mrs. Leslie Wade, More head City. Three of the officers plan to at tend the meeting of the North Carolina Hairdressers Association in Raleigh this weekend. Presiding at the meeting was Mrs. Charles Noe, Beaufort, mem ber of the State Board of Cosmetic Arts. She mentioned that two hair dressers organizations are in ex istence in the state, the one meet ing in Raleigh this weekend, and the State Hairdressers Association. Local units, Mrs. Noe said, may affiliate with either one. Daes of the Carteret unit were set at $5. The next meeting will be Tues day night, Sept. 3, at the Rex. A visitor at the organizational meeting was Mrs. Harold Yates, Chatham, Va., daughter of Mrs. Harry Garris. Manhattan Chapel to Open New York (AP)?

Cheap imports of fisheries pro ducts coupled with intense com petition for the world market have caused widespread distress for the 550,000 fishermen who man 100,000 vessels to provide an annual harvest of five billion pounds of fish worth an estimated $1 billion at the consumer level. The North Atlantic trawl fishery, for so long a vital component of New England's economy, and the West Coast tuna fishery have been driven to the very wall by com petition from abroad. Frozen ground fishes from Canada, Ice land, etc. and frozen tuna and al bacore from Japan may be im ported at a cheaper Vrice than American fishermen can ever hope to meet under the existing tariff structure. Must Cut Costs Although the menhaden fishery has managed to remain solvent in the past decade, it too is square ly confronted with a compelling necessity to reduce products eosts. More than a dozen nations arc involved in the scramble for the world market in fish meals, oils and solubles. Menhaden producers for long have been aware of their competi tive problems. Their reduction plants today have been modernized by superbly qualified chemical and mechanical engineers. The boats of the fishing fleet are among the most efficient at sea insofar as hull design, power plants and deck gear are concerned. But the actual fishing methods used to capture menhaden have represented but a slight improve ment over techniques which date back to Biblical days. And it is at sea and only at sea that the industry can hope to cut costs in an effort to maintain a strong competitive position. Production Comparison In point, American menhaden fishermen last year produced 166 tons of fish per fisherman per season. Their Canadian competi tors produced 207 tons of fish per fisherman per season, while South Africans attained the startling average of 393 tons per man per season. Obviously Canadian and South African fishermen Were using improved and vastly more efficient gear. At the termination of an arduous and costly research program, the industry finally discovered a me thod of reducing catch-costs. The logical answer was provided by adaptation of the power block as a means of supplementing manual labor when operating the seine in which menhaden are entrapped. The power block is a hydraulic device of simple yet rugged de sign and construction. Some quali fied observers are prone to view it as the first consequential im provement in seine fishing methods in almost 2,000 years. Used Abroad First Ironically enough, the power block was invented by an Ameri can fisherman, yet it was en thusiastically received abroad be fore domestic useage became com monplace. Salmon, herring and even tuna net fishermen employ the power block extensively. Its adaptation to menhaden fishing this year will be a major step in keeping that industry in a competi tive position. Without the power block, Ameri can menhaden fishermen cannot hope to remain a factor in thr world market. Norway, South Af rica, the United Kingdom and West Germany are but some of the na tions deeply involved in the manu facture of fish meals, oils and solubles. Indeed, more than 20 re duction plants are presently in operation in Peru alone. In a factual sense, the power block is intended to lower products costs. As the purchasing agent for a large poultry and cattle food company recently warned repre sentatives of the menhaden indus try: "Modern methods of fishing and manufacture are of rto value if they increase the volume with out lowering costs." Gives More Work Days Furthermore, it would be pa tently ridiculous to describe the power block as an instrument of automation. If anything, quite the opposite is true, because the device will keep American menhaden fishermen at sea when vessels of the tuna and trawl fleets are tied up at their docks. Time is of the essence for the menhaden industry. Foreign na tions are outstripping the United States in technological develop ment of fishing gear and methods. The Russians, in particular, are making enormous strides in the international race to harvest the great resources of the oceans of the world. Murmansk has been described as the greatest fishing port now in existence, and USSR fishermen Movie House Put Under Ban Lake Placid, N. Y. (AP)? The ranking Roman Catholic clergy man here has placed a theatre out of bounds to Catholics for six months bccause it showed the Brigitte Bardot movie "And God Created Woman." The Rt. Rev. Ms*r. James T. Lyng ordered the baa after the theatre management rejected his offer of $350 to cover any losses resulting from withdrawal of the film. The movie was shown at the Palace theatre, the only one in this famed resort town, on July 20, 21 and 22. Msgr Lyng announced the ban at masses last Sunday in St. Agnes Church. He is pastor there. The clergyman said Catholics should stay away from the movie house during the ban "regardless of the merits of any motion pic tures which may be presented." He alio declared that Catholic businessmen should refuse to post the theatre's advertising signs dur ing the ban. Fair Exchange Idaho falls, Idaho (AP)?

If the menhaden fishery is to survive in American vessels, the domestic industry haa no choice but to meet the chaflehge from abroad with every means at it* command. Tbe power block is the single most important asset to the industry in the trying years ahead. There can be no compromise with efficient fishing methods where survival itself represents the heart of the matter. American farmers want and need fish meal in their animal and poultry feeds. There if an attend ant demand for fish oils and solu bles. But domestic pndoets of the sort will remain in the market only so long as the producers can maintain realistic price structures Producer declares He Set Brief Tour New York (AP>?
