W. 8. Chalk Comments
On Monday s Hearing
W. B. Chalk, president of the
Neuse Development association,
said Tuesday that the delegation
which carried the bridge problem
to the Conservation and Develop
ment department this week at
Nags Head is not at all sorry that
it made the trip.
The group of five, headed by Mr
Chalk, sought the commerce and
industry committee's support in
blocking location of the proposed
bridge at Morehead City.
Gov. Luther Hodges happened
into the meeting and at the con
clusion of Mr. Chalk's presentation
of the matter stated that there was
nothing the commerce and indus
try committee could do about the
bridge location, nor did he him
self expect to do anything about
it. '"Hie governor's decision is
that the highway commission has
voted and that's it," Hodges de
clared.
Mr. Chalk thanked the commit
tee for listening to him. The dele
gation was given the opportunity
to be heard first and since the
commerce and industry committee
was ready to go into its regular
course of business, the group left.
With Mr. Chalk were mayor
George Dill, Morehead City; Joe
DuBois, manager of the Morehead
City chamber of commerce; A. T.
Piner, member oT the Morehead
City Pilots Association, and Rob
ert Dardcn, New Bern, freight
traffic manager, A&EC railway.
Mr. Chalk said that the delega
tion was earnest in its purpose and
sincerely believes that the state
highway commission is making a
mistake by planning to put the
new highway bridge so close to
the present one.
"However, the matter is closed.
We're accepting the highway com
mission's decision, and that's
that," Mr. Chalk said.
On the lighter side: The dele
gation went to Nags Head Sunday
and saw The Lost Colony Sunday
night. One of the men commented
on the way home, after the gov
ernor spoke his piece, "Well, we
went up there to see a show, but
we saw two: The Lost Colony and
The Lost Cause."

For Marine Fisheries Study
New Product Finds Market
y ?-/' **W!> ~ ? -.v ?? ;sr;~WT
Rufns Butner, president of the Greater Morehead City ehamber of commeree. left, expresses pride In
the achievement of Elmer Willis, right, chamber member, who is marketing a Carteret-packaged sea
food product. Mr. Willis is reading his first big order for his frozen diced clams.
Elmer Willis, Williston, who has
pioneered in packaging diced
clams, happily announced Tuesday
that he has received his "first big
order" for Elmer's Diced Bay
Clams.
The order was placed by W. C.
Dishman, meat merchandiser for
Colonial Stores, Raleigh. The 75
dozen of packaged frozen clams
will go to the Colonial warehousl
at Raleigh and from there be dis
tributed to Colonial stores through
out the state.
Mr. WUUs, who has been dubbed
"Mr. Clam" because of his long
time interest in clam production,
started the new business June 1.
He is greatly encouraged by its
development. "We're getting re
peat orders from every store
where we have placed the prod
uct," he reported. People have
told him that after trying his froz
cn clams, they're through messing
with fresh ones.
Mr. Willis for many years has
sold clams to soup companies, but
Elmer's Diced Bay Clams are his
first retail packaged product. The
cover for the package, an attrac
tive blue, black and white picture
showing a fisherman in a sou'
wester, was designed by a com
mercial firm in Atlanta.
On the back of the wrapper arc
recipes for clam chowder and clam !
fritters. Mr. Willis says the 10
?unce package will serve six, but
folks Who have used the clams
say it will serve more than that.
Mr. Willis plans to market the
product through a broker in Nor
folk. He has been trucking the
product to local stores and super
markets in this county, and will
continue to do so.
"If this really gets going, I'm
going (o have to increase the num
ber of employees at my plant,"
Mr. Willis said. He said that he
knew diced clams would always
make a first class product, but was
unable to go into the venture until
he got his new clam juice evap
orator recently.
Mr. Willis says the Conservation
and Development department of
the state was most helpful in get
ting him started in the processing
business. The state has long rec
ognized the need for seafood pro
ccasing plants in North Carolina.
Mr. Willis had to buy new equip
ment and no less than 100,000 ten
ounce boxes to get the new enter
prise on the road. He estimates
his investment at $10,000.
A package of Elmer's Diced Bay '
Clams, packaged at Williston, N.
C., sells for 79 cents. Mr. Clam
says, "Try 'em!"

Injures Knee
Mrs. Ollie Satterficld of Durham
was admitted to Morehead City
hospital Wednesday with a knee in
injury suffered when she slipped
while surf caating at the beach
aod fall on a rock.
When summer draws to a closc,
the mosquito spraying program
also nears its end.
A spot chcck in Beaufort and
Morehead City indicates that Beau
fort residents seem quite pleased
with the spraying program. More
head City folks didn't voice com
plaints, but only half of the More
head residents questioned have
even seen the spray rig this sum
mer.
John Lashley, Morehead City
town clerk, said that the truck has
sprayed "most every day," add
ing that it takes about a week to
cover the town from one end to
the other.
Towns and the county receive
funds from the state to help fi
nance the spray program.
A. D. Fulford, county sanitarian,
reports that the Sea Level Atlantic
citizens who tried for several years
to run their own program, allow
the county to use their machine
on a county truck. This equipment
is kept by Fi nk Salter. Sea Level,
who with a helper, does the spray
ing in the eastern part of the coun
ty.
Another county spray rig, oper
ated by Harry Williams. Gales
Creek, is charged with spraying
"west of Newport river,'* Mr. Ful
ford said.
The town of Newport also con
ducts a spraying program, as it
has for several years.
Except in isolated spots, mos
quitoes have not been as prevalent
this year as in the years immedi
ately following the big hurricanes.

Mr. Fulford explained, however,
that "we know better how to han
dle the problem. We have better
chemicals and better machines."
The county trucks have been
working since the first of May and
will continue until frost, the sani
tarian said.
They try to follow regular sched
ules, but these are varied to meet
changing conditions. Where mos
quito population is large, spraying
is more frequent. Spraying is done
particularly in low areas, around
drainage creeks, and marshes that
are accessible to trucks.
Asked if the county had suffi
cient funds to finance the spraying
program this summer, Mr. Ful
ford replied, "Well, wa never have
enough, but wc have enough to 1
make out with."
Resident* of Morehead City were
contacted by phone Tuesday in an
attempt to learn how frequently
the spray rig has been sighted
around town.
Mrs. Ervin Lupton, 207 N. 20th
St., said the truck goes by her
house about once every two weeks
and sprays out towards Bayview
cemetery. Mrs. D. A. Ballou, 2300
Bay St., said her area is sprayed

Although a proposed state
department of commercial
fisheries may not get the
blessing of the committee on
reorganization of state gov
ernment, a $30,000 appro
priation for a study of fish
eries problems could well
pave the way for a broaden
ed scope in fisheries admin
istration.
The Conservation and Develop
ment board this week at Nags
Head agreed to request $30,000
from the legislature to finance the
study.
The commercial fisheries com
mittee, in its resolution requesting
the funds said the money would
be used "to conduct studies and
evaluate the problems confronting
marine fisheries resources in North
Carolina with the results to be in
corporated in a long-range pro
gram that will be effective in the
best utilization of these resources
. . . and toward the establishment
of a working relationship between
saltwater sport fishing and com
mercial fishing interests . . ."
In a hearing last Friday, fish
eries officials told the committee
on reorganization of state govern
ment that they did NOT favor a
department of fisheries separate
from C&D. The move IS favored
by the North Carolina Fisheries
association.
Although it approved the $30,000
study, the C&D turned down a re
quest for $2,500 to investigate the
feasibility of the state's construct
ing refrigeration plants on the
coast for the use of fishermen.
Eric Rodgers, chairman of the
commercial fisheries committee,
said such plants could store fish
products when the market is glut
ted and prices low. Then they
could be marketed when the price
improved. It is Mr. Rodgers' be
lief that fishermen, paying for use
of the plants, would be benefited
to a very large extent.
Much In prominence at the meet
ing was the old fight wherein
sports fishermen and commercial
haulers of finflsh accuse trawler
operators of killing many small
fish.
A petition containing several
hundred names of sports fisher
men asked that trawlers be ban
ned from inshore waters and that
certain other steps be taken to
protect sports fishing interests.
