Captain FRED K02FF led a flotilla of about l8 boats to Cape Lookout on
Thursday, October 6, assisted by Seaman No Class FRA.NK JOHNSON, A lot of
stories have been told about that day, and some of them do not bear repeat
ing (we suspect that not even changing the names to protect the innocent
v/ould be enough to save us) but v/e think it's probably all right to say that
FRA.N D^TER was named "Best Hand Fisherwoman", although we aren’t sure v/hat
it means, that BLANCHE YANCEY was "Champion Bait Fisherv/oman", and that EL
RATLIFFE’s boat drifted into the hook and was salvaged by KEIT HALL.iR,
Pretty near 75 people had a whopping good day that day. It sounds as if
they ought to do it again.
NANCY and P...TE PETERSON (Dr« Charles Peterson, if you insist on being formal)
told us that the pizza at Ryggs is just great so we rushed out to try. And
their pizza great, RYGGS is just off Bridges Street close to the hospi
tal,
V'ORTH an expedition according to Si and Minnie Bec^uyen and Dan and Thelma
Vaughan v/ho have recently been there is the COUNTRY SQUIRE restaurant be-
tv;een Kenansville and Clinton, It is on route 24 about 85 miles from PKS,
They begin to serve dinner at 5*30? reporters say that the menu is
excellent. There are lots of little extras such as the hor d'ouvres which
are served in the room uhere you wait for a table, if you have to wait.
The restaurant is in the middle of nowhere, so it runs on reputation, and
people come from all over to have dinner there. The Country Squire looks
like a lovely old home, and dinner is served in various rooms rather than
one large one. The owner collected recipes when he became interested in
food and restaurants v/hile he vjas in service. The menu is varied but he
specializes in steaks,
FIGURED OUT what 'Ha-Fia's" is? By now it has surely been made clear that
it's an Italian restaurant, but v;e didn't knov; that when Marilyn Miller rang
up up the other day, Marilyn and Jerry Fousek have, until now, been runn
ing the Royal Palm, right on the causeway. Well, they carried it all across
the street and transformed Mom and Pop's old hangout into a bit of Italy,
with the red checkered cloths* 'The veal scallopini and parmigiana are leng
thening their perennially long menu into what must now be the size of a
phone book,,,,'Cause they are still offering their early breakfasts (6:00am,)
their many-sandwich lunches, as well as the spaghetti and meatball stuff.
As of December 1st, they'll be open from six in the morning until eight-
thirty at night - v/ine and beer are available*,
Good things going on at the ililRINZ; Pi .SOU'.CES CENTER:
You've read about the film series. By the time you get this, "Twenty

And that's not all. Seems that in early January v/e'11 have a chance to see
an exhibit of photographs taken with something called an electronic micro
scope, by Dr. John McNeill Sieburth of the University of Rhode Island,
Dempster '-'heeler at the Marine Resources Center says the photographs are^
r:-ally "esoteric", which makes us think we will be viewing a unique combina
tion of art and science. The exhibit was compiled by the Newark, J*»
museum and will be tra'jceling about the country. Exhibit's called Micro
bial Seasca^je",
VJe can be v/atching for two craft shov/s at the Center; the first 'will be
Dec, 3rd and 4th, the second. Dec«, 17'th and l8th and we'll probably find some

AND - the Carteret Community Theatre will be presenting "Scrooge" in the
round at the Center Dec, 2nd and 3rd at 8:00 p.m. and Dec. 4th at 3:00 p.m.

huh*?
