This means probably, Mr. June said, that there just aren’t as many of them around. 3. The older fish are not in abun dance in the North Carolina catches this year. This indicates a higher death rate among the older fish. Mr. June said, “This may be due to increased fishing intensity or natural deaths or both.” (Fish deaths caused by any other factor except capture of the fish by man are considered “natural.”) Scientists have noted a general increase in mortality of older fish over the last five years. During this time new fishing methods have been put into use: the power block, use of aluminum purse boats, nylon seines, fish pumps, increased use of planes to spot fish, and electro fishing gear. (The power block is a device used to haul the net mechanically rath er than hauling by manpower.) It is estimated that fishing ef ficiency today has increased 12 to 20 per cent over the five-year pe riod of 1951-55. Mr. June feels that at least three more years will be needed to clarify data on this point. If it is found that fishing effi ciency has increased to that ex- ' tent, then the more perfect fish ing techniques would be an im portant factor in fish deaths. The significant point is that this will mean lower catches in future years, Mr. June observes, and more fish will be caught at young er ages. Another important point is that the number of menhaden entering the fishery in 1959 and 1960 was small. Mr. June says, “On the basis of data on hand now, it ap pears that the 1962 catches will decrease.” This applies only to the Atlantic coast fishery. There is no similar information on the Gulf fishery, but studies are being conducted there which will enable appraisal in a few years. In the first ten months of this year, 1,064,000 tons of menhaden have been taken on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. For the entire year of 1960, 997,000 tons were tak en, and in all of 1959 there were 1,097,000 tons taken. Mr. June believes that the in creased catch in the Gulf of Mexi co and the good fishing of the past week off Beaufort have been suf ficient to push the 1961 total up to a new high. From 1955 to 1961 the average catch per year on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts was 945,000 tons. For the same period, the average catch per year In the-summer fishery along the Atlantic coast was 659, 000 tons. In addition to Mr. June, other speakers at the Biltmore meeting were Charles Butler, Washington, D. C., who spoke on industrial fish eries products, including fish flour; Dr. Donald G. Snyder, College Park, Md., who spoke on fisheries products studies: John Dyer, Boston, surveys of the uses of fish oils; and Ed Grleg er, Seattle, Wash., development in the fish oil program. Mr. Butler also spoke on the role of the US Bureau of Commer cial Fisheries in connection with fish products and fisheries tech nology. Jack T. Styran, New Orleans, La„ formerly of Morehead City, presided. Girl Scouts Practice Christmas Play Tuosday Girl Scout troop 153 mat at the home of Mrs. G. B. Talbot Tues day afternoon.

A 1949 Chevrolet dump truck was demolished. Extensive dam age was done to Hamilton’s car, and to a 1953 Chevrolet, driven by Adolya Guthrie Bennett, More head City. According to police, Hamilton was driving south on 20th street on the left side of the road and collided with the truck which was headed north on 20th. The truck, which was owned by the state highway department, went off the right side of the road, back onto the highway, collided with the Bennett car and over turned in a ditch. Ernest Edward Guthrie, More head City, was the driver of the dump truck. He escaped with only a bruised leg. Neither the drivers, nor passengers in the other cars, was injured. Police chief Herbert Griffin, who investigated, estimated dam age to Hamilton’s 1962 Chevrolet at $700 and that to the Bennett car at $500. Board Approves Purchase of New Billing Machine * County commissioners, who met Monday at the courthouse, approv ed purchase of a billing machine for the county auditor’s office. The machine will be used for tax bill ing and other county records. James Potter, county auditor, said there is a possibility that all the county records may be kept on the machine in the future. Mr. Potter said the county needs the machine. It will prove useful by saving much labor and will en able the county to develop a bet ter billing system, he remarked. The county will pay $619 per month for a year, at the end of which time the machine will be come the property of the county.

Horton has been ap pointed president of the Carteret County Heart council, according to Dr. C. Glenn Sawyer, Winston Salem, president of the North Car olina Heart association. Purpose of the Council is to in form the public of the facts about heart disease, to provide local physicians, nurses and other pro fessional people who deal with heart patients with the latest re search discoveries in treating heart disease, and to conduct com munity programs for the benefit of patients and their families, Dr. Sawyer said. The council will also spearhead the annual drive for funds to sup port local programs and those at the North Carolina and American Heart associations.

If a declaratory Judgment can fee had, that’s exactly what we want done.” Mr. Howard commented that he asked Henderson if there was any way possible for the county to get an extension, even thirty days, and he was told absolutely not. “We’ll tend to that. We’ll see about that,” said Dr. Moore, “If you can get the resident judge down here and clear up that bond matter, settle on a Site and clear that up, we’ll do the rest." He said that “we” meant the doctors. 1%e chairman commented that another lawsuit would probably be started if a site were settled on, that there are people who won’t go along with anything less than three miles west of Morehead City. Dr. Moore answered, “Any group of people not willing to compro mise is not willing to the demo cratic form of government ... let us take care of Henderson. When the time comes we’ll tell you. This hospital is important to you but you don’t realize how vital it is. It is a solid emergency. It won’t be any less an emergency later, only more.” The doctor said either the Bar bour or Oglesby site is “allright.” “If the board settles on a site and another lawsuit comes, the only thing to do is go upstairs and fight it out,” Dr. Moore declared. Mr. Howard commented that the board selected one site and lost it and might lose another one too. Dr. Moore said the only thing to do is fight and the only way to prove “the board wasn’t respon sible” is to start all ovfer again. Commissioner S. A. Chalk voted against the motion to proceed with obtaining a declaratory judgment. Other commissioners voted in fav or. Tax Collector Presents Report To County Board Received by the county tax col lector in November was $43,706.09, according to a report given county commissioners Monday by E. O. Moore, tax collector.

Case Non-Suited A non-suit was declared Tuesday at Kinston in the murder case against Winston Philip. Philip was charged with murdering Ruth Gra ham Tillery, formerly of Morehead City. Judge W. H. S.
