News Bureau Chief Says It Will Return Dividends Bill Sharpe, director of the North Carolina State News Bureau, be lieves that the effort of the South eastern North Carolina Beach as sociation to put on a $15,000 fishing rodeo and advertising campaign is one of the soundest investments that this region can make to insure good tourist business during sum mer and fall.
