raced out. The fish were found
below Georgetown and the boats
were able to load in such short
order that one of them was able
to get back to port by sundown.
Others straggled in by 9 and 10
o'clock that night.
One of the days 4 of the boats
eac.h blew for a catch of seven
hundred thousand fish. A'l others
had six hundred thousand each.
The $43,000 payroll for five days
of fishing, going to the boat
crews and factory employees,
does not represent the total re
turns from the operations. Fac
tory employees will have to work
10 days or two weeks converting
the catch into fish meal.

8, compared with 703 new cases
for the same period in 1954, and
926 cases for the entire year,
1953, but it is emphasized that
hundreds of North Carolinians
stricken by polio must for a long
time look to the March of Dimes
for needed help. The Salk polio1
vaccine cane too late for them. !
The national March of Dimes
goal for 1950 is $40.700,COO, com
pared to $64,000,000 it ihe 1955;
campaign. Reducing the eoal was j
mode possible, Mrs. Row 1c said, '
because the National Foundation'
for Infantile Paralysis r,o longer
needs to invest funds in the Salk
vaccine or in gamma globulin.
Funds for patient aid will con- '
tintie to be needed in gr at
amounts for some time to ce.uie.
The new year will see at If at
68(000 polio patients needing 'i
nanrial assistance.”
National Foundation will r o
campaign contributions for nhe
caie of patients, for further soi -
tific research in many directic t
as well as improved methods ’
care, and for professional edur 1
tion and recruitment.
Sowing a crop of telephone convenience...
Many new, improved construction
methods are helping Southern Bell to
extend telephone service in rural
areas. For example, the. cable plow
shown above can lay 30 miles of
cable a week to a maximum depth of
30 inches, leaving no unsightly
trenches.
Also, a small new-type cable which
carries several telephone lines has
been developed. Of light, inexpensive
construction, it is strung right along
side wires on pole lines.
These' new and- improved tech
niques helped make possible the in
stallation of about 86,000 new rural
phones in 1955 in our nine-state area
at a total cost of 16 million dollars.
And there’s still a big job to do. We’ll
spend over 18 million dollars in 1956
to bring even more telephones to
farm folks who want and need them.
