Cabbage, Bean Harvest Slows Cabbage cutting and bean pick ing slowed down yesterday in view of the weekend and the Monday Memorial Day holiday. Approximately half of the cab bage crop has moved out, R. M. Williams, agriculture agent, re ported yesterday. Prices are about $2 per 50-pound box. When cut ting started two weeks ago, the price was $3.75 a box. The quality is good but the price started dropping as cabbage far ther north started moving to mar ket. Green beans were selling for $2 per 50-pound hamper yesterday. Dry weather, Mr. Williams said, is affecting yield of both cabbage and beans. The bean quality is good, but farmers say a price of less than $2 a hamper leaves them mighty slim profit. Irish potatoes will be late this year. Mr. Williams predicts that none will be dug before June 10.

Rose Urges Reclamation Washington? W. H. Poller, Beau fort, who attended the Rivers and Harbors Congress at Washington this week reported Wednesday night that the Wallace channel Wainwright slough project in this county has advanced one step in rating. Mr. Potter gave Sen. B. Everett Jordan much of the credit in ad vancing the standing of the proj ect. The channel needs deepening to allow unhampered passage of the Atlantic-Ocracoke ferry. Mr. Potter was renominated as regional vice-president of the Riv ers and Harbors Congress, which makes recommendations to legis lators on the importance of water way and flood control projects. State Sen. David J. Rose propos ed that at least $40 million be spent on North Carolina's coast during the next five years for res toration and reclamation ? from Ocracokc to the Cape fear river. Endorsing Rose's proposal were Mr. Potter, Eric W. Rodgers, member of the advisory fisheries committee of North Carolina, Col. George W. Gillette, former execu tive director of the State Ports Authority, mayor pro tem R. T. Burney of Wilmington and former Wilmington mayor J. E. L. Wade. Unless something is done to sta bilize the Outer Banks, senator Rose said, "it will not be too many years before at least five of our coastal countics will be a part of the Atlantic Ocean." He said North Carolina needs a 50-foot port "either at Morehead City or Wilmington," a major beach restoration project, and "ac complishment of the long justified 12-foot channci connecting Beau fort Harbor with Pamlico Sound via Core Sound and Wainwright ?lough. This will afford safe pns sage for the so important ferry row operating between Atlantic and Ocracoke." Cbl. Harry E. Brown, director, and Gen. Henry C. Wolfe, chief, division of navigable waters, NC Department of Water Resources, submitted reports showing the present status of all water re source projects in the state. Included is the project for the deepening and enlarging of More head City Harbor and its entrance channel. Estimated cost is $1,197, 000, of which $558,000 was provid ed in the fiscal 1960 apppropria tions. The 1961 federal budget car ries an item of an additional $942, 000, which should complete the project, Colonel Brown said. The $942,000 item was approved last week by the House appropriations committee. Senators Ervin and Jordan and members of the North Carolina delegation in Congress were prais ed for "the unswerving aid they arc giving in helping develop wa ter resource projects in North Car olina."

University Women Advise Larger School Systems Released this week were the rc-4 suits of a survey of eounty high school graduates. The survey was made by the Boaufort-Morehead branch of the American Associa tion of University Women, which is working toward improvement of the high school curriculum in the county. The report concluded that the courses most requested by the graduates arc those that only a large school system could have. In summary, the report says, If the schools remain small and split up as they are now, they can not possibly offer what the stu dents want and should have." The comment on the survey, as released by the AAUW, Mrs. F. J Vernberg, Beaufort, president, fol lows: This past year the Beaufort j Morchcad City Branch of the I AAUW undertook a study of the j curricula of the Carteret county schools. Our aim was to find out what courses are being taught and to try to find out if the courses of study offered arc what the stu dents want. Accordingly, we mailed ques tionnaires to the members of the graduating classes of 1955; this class was selected since by now they have been out of high school long enough to have decided on their life's work or profession, but yet not long enough to have for gotten their high school days.

Size of the shrimp are ranging from 31 to 50 count inside. Com missioner Holland said that he has seen none over 70 count (number of shrimp per pound), but that some arc being caught.

Harris, Beaufort, is in the eounty jail, charged with shoot ing Edward Barrett, Beaufort, with u .22 rifle at 2 a.m. Wednesday. Harris is under $500 bond. Bar rett is in the Morehead City hos pital with a bullet wound 6 inchcs above his left ankle. Officer Carlton (Chief Lightnin') Garner said he was in the patrol car in the area where the shooting occurred when he heard a lot of cursing and the jangle of breaking glass. He discovered where the noise came from and pulled to the front of Harris's place in the 600 block of Pine street. He saw a fellow, later identified as Barrett, staggering out of the yard and heard Harris, he said, call to Barrett, "I'll kill you, you i" The officer said he heard Har ris fire, Barrett fell and officer Garner ducked behind the patrol car. Then the policeman called to Harris to put the rifle down. Harris announced that he was tak ing the law into his own hands and fired again. Officer Garner took refuge be hind the patrol car, got his flash light, pulled his pistol and warn ed Harris to put his rifle down or he'd fire. Barrett was lying on the sidewalk. After some argument, Harris surrendered the rifle to the offic er, telling the policeman that Bar rett had broken into his house. Officer Garner later learned that ^arrett hid been in the other side ot the house which Harris rents to Edward's brother, Ernest. Harris maintained that he could run Ed ward out of Ernest's place, even though Ernest was paying rent to Harris for it. The officer had helped the in jured man to the side of the pa trol car, but meanwhile, Edward had started to crawl back in the yard. When Harris saw him, he yanked the rifle out of the offic er's hand, Garner said, and warn ed Edward to stay out of the yard. Officer Garner said that he twist ed the rifle out of Harris's hand and the barrel hit Harris and knocked him down. Then he took Edward to the hospital.
