week were blamed on “Neglect,
dissension among fishermen, and
| enforcement of regulations.”
Calling for re-examination and
' overhaul of the State-regulated
! commercial fishing business, Har
grove (Skipper) Bowles, Jr., State
Conservation and Development di
rector, outlined proposals for beef
ing-up the inspection and enforce
ment program, for bringing reg
ulations up-to-date, and recom
mended an education and publica
tions program for the industry.
Bowles was principal speaker at
the spring meeting of the Greater
Morehead City Chamber of Com
merce. The scene was a clambake
at Elmer Willis' clam house at
Williston. He was introduced by
D. G. Bell, of Morehead City,
chairman of the House committee
on Conservation and Development.
"Enforcement seems to be the
key to the immediate problem in
the fishing business,” Bowles said,
"but the long-range approach de
mands that the multitude of regu
lations, many of them out-of-tune
and antiquated, be examined
again."
He said that his proposal for
an education and publication pro
j gram, similar to that operated bv
the Wildlife Resources Commislon,
intends to develop cooperation,
rather than dissension, among
people in the industry.
"It would be a most difficult
project," he said, "but the in
dividual fishman, as well as the
big operator, must appreciate the
stake he has in th's wonderful
I resource. Through cooperation and
understanding, rather than tug
ging and hauling in all directions,
I the commercial fishing business
in North Carolina can survive and
make a dollar.”
Enlarging the board of Conser
vation and Development means
that the Commercial Fisheries di
vision will get greater emphasis,
Bowles said. While most other
C&D committees will have three
members, five will be assigned to
Commercial Fisheries, “because it
deserves this emphasis, this inter
est, above all others at this time.”
Commercial Fisheries has been
a "sort of step-child, has been
neglected over the years, for the
more glamorous and less contro
versial operations of state govern
ment,” he said. “This industry
has been overlooked, and we’ve
got to make up lost ground if it
is to survive.”
Bowles said he came into Con
servation and Development from
the business world, and with no
preconceived notions on how to
solve the problems in commercial
fishing. It didn't take long, he

Exotic Grass For Golf Fairway
One of the most interesting
agriculture! operations carried .on
in Brunswick county this season
was performed Friday on the
practice fairway at the Oak Is
land Golf Club.
Two representatives of the
Patton Seed Co. of Lakeland,
Ga., arrived that morning with
a truck load of sod from their
said, to determine that problems
in the industry are complex.
This is partly due to the fisher
man, independent by nature, he
said, who often resent restrictions
and regulations. Just about every
fisherman has his own idea on
1 ow the industry should operate,
he said, and has difficulty in
reconciling his views with another.
‘‘You all know better than I,
how many different opinions there
are on how the fishing business
should be operated,” Bowles said.
"Oyster men fall out among 1 hem
selves. Shrimpers and long haul
ers are at each other’s throats.
The crab men feels that he is set
upon. Most everybody, it seems to
me, feels he is discriminated
against and that he, alone, knows
v hat is mete and proper.”
“Even though I don't know the
dirference between a binnacle and
a barnacle,” Bowles said, "I know
the situation in commercial fish
ing isn't good. Governor Sanford
ha“ ordered me to take hold and
make a going thing of it. North
Carolina is on the go. Our fisher
ies industry must go along with
it.'

each year than are destroyed by

The manner by which this was
accomplished is what made the
process most unusual.
The first step was to .shied

Two Words Mean
Different Things
The words “Compensation'’ and
“pension” as used by Veterans
Administration to describe month
ly benefits to veterans or depen
dents are not synonpmous and
should not be used interchange
ably, Crawford Rourk, Bi unswick
County Service Officer, declared
this week,
Rourk said compensation is paid
to a veteran or to his eligible
dependents for disease, injury, or
death resulting from thi veteran’s
services, and then only under
certain conditions.
The easiest way to distinguish
between the two benefits, accord
ing to the County Service Officer,
is that compensation is a service- I
connected benefit for wartime or
peacetime service and pension is
a non-service connected benefit
for only wartime services.
Detailed information concerning
either benefit is available from
the County Veterans Service Offi
cer or T Formy-Duval, District '
Officer, wno is located at 409

broadcast over the field. After
this had- been done, a tractor
pulling a disc and packer came
along and cut in the grass and
packed it, all in one operation.
The final step was to set up
irrigation equipment so that the
field might get a good soaking.
Mother nature loaned a hand the
next day with a heavy shower,
but the sponsors of this expen
sive planting project were tak
ing no chances. They had the
artifical rain ready to fall.
The land was prepared care
fully for this planting and was
heavily fertilized after first being
limed. Junior Weeks was in
charge of the delivery and plant
ing operation, and he said that
the field will be ready to cut
within 60 to 90 days so that
material may be borrowed for
planting other fairways. This
same grass is used for greens,
he said.
He delivered about 1150 bushels
of the grass, which was enough
to plant the six acres, or at
about the rate of 200 bushels
to the the acre.
The establishment of a hardy
turf is the primary requisite for
the establishment of a golf
course, and from the practice
fairway the promoters hope to
be able to plant their other fair
ways and greens.
