EDITORIALS SHELL DREDGING: INLAND WATERWAY! »• Whether or not dredging for oyster shells in State sound waters will result in harmful effects to shell and fin-fish continues in debate with no party on a firm footing. Some would approve a period of experimental dredging then w'ait to see what happens. Other would proceed on the premise that a new in dustry would be created for profit to the State and local workers. Opponents to the whole scheme are in a court in junction phase saying marine life in the Albemarle and currituck Sounds, pro posed area, would be destroyed and migratory game wTould be denied feed ing areas. Temporary disruption of the dredged area would result but sea-life has a way of repropagation and larger and a more bountiful supply of oysters and clams could accrue from such an under taking. Moreover, deeper water attracts good fishing and trout, for one, would find the hole to their liking. The coming of the Inland Waterway through North Carolina created minor opposition in some instances but it was short-lived, Seafood-wise, it nas been a bonanza for fishing of every kind and, except for the channel itself, it has im proved rather than harmed the shell fish life in sounds traversed by the channel. Damage was only temporary and oysters and clams, nourished by geater volumes of water, returned in great volumes. The same could result from the oyster-shell dredging. STUBBORN WOMAN DECORATED The old saying goes that when in doubt play trumps. Doubt was there in the mind of Dr. Frances 0. Kelsey, Public Health officer in Washington, and she did just that—refused approval of the drug thalidomide for use in this country. Her conviction that the drug was not safe as a tranquilizing agent brought Dr. Kelsey the highest decoration a civilian may receive: the Distinguished Civilian Service Medal and presented at a White House ceremony Wednes day by President Kennedy. The drug, distributed in the United States on an experimental run, is said to be responsible for deformed child The State Port Pilot Published. Everv W ednesdav Southport, N. C. JAMES M.

Already, according to a report by the Department of Healt, Education and Welfare,, 1,118 patients in North Carolina have been treated with the drug and 219 of them are women of child-bearing age. For tunately, no deformities in this country have been attributed to the taking of the drug. But if there is a suspicion that it brought on ill effects overseas, then the same or similar results could be ex pected in this country. Some more stubborness of the kind exhibited by Dr. Kelsey is in order where the health of our people is invol ved. This is no matter of shooting first and asking questions later. TUNE HAS CHANGED A news report says the University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team will. charge to the tune of a Yankee accent come September and pigskin time. It may be something like: “Come on, you Rebels, let’s show ’em.” They say Coach Bear Bryant has come up with a 19-year-old Beaver Falls, Pa. sophomore quarterback who can go with the best and he may be the tonic for another undefeated season and possible national crown. The crisp Yankee accent supplanting the long drawl. And in the Heart of Dixie. What a contrast to 100 years ago when the Yankees were saying, “Let’s take ’em,” and the Rebels were daring, “Just try it.” WEST COAST LUMBER CO. 200 Castle Hayne Rd. WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA P. 0.

Letter To The Editor August 13, 1962 Editor The State Port Pilot Southport North Carolina Dear Sir: I am writing this letter for the fishermen of Frying Pan to Little River Outside Fishing Waters. Some few weeks ago the buoy tender started the removal of the buoys on the wreck of this fish ing area. These buoys were placed on these wrecks some twenty-five years ago or more for the benefit of the shrimp fishermen. They en abled us to stay off the wrecks. Since the buoys have been remov ed, several of us have not been able to stay off the wrecks and have had the misfortune to lose or damage our nets and fishing gear. Our nets and rigs cost from $300 to $1000 each and anyone can see the damage it is to the fishermen if these buoys are done away with. I don’t know who is responsible for the removal of the buoys or why. Noone seems to know. Any one reading this letter that knows why, please let us know. We want them placed back on the wrecks immediately. The shrimp fishermen of this state seem to have no represen tation whatsoever in anything in the state or federal government to help us to improve our indus try. We tried for years to get Lockwood Fotly Inlet improved without success as well as other projects. Now I don’t think that anyone can say that we do not pay taxes like anyone else, but we are taxed without representa tion. Who can show me anything that has been done for the out side fishermen of this area? Now maybe this is a job for the De partment of Conservation and De velopment to step in and go to the aid of the fishermen. They tax without representing. Please, if anyone can stop the removal of these buoys, come to our aid. Sincerely yours, N. C. Bellamy PLANS PROGRESS FOR (Continued From Page One) each division. There will be three prizes for the winners. There is talk of other contests, including a crab-catching contest for chil dren under 12-years of age and a similar operation limited to ladies only. Stage Manager Dan Walker says there will be no trouble about spectators being able to see ! the crab race, for plans are be ing made to provide an elevated track that will place the 16-foot race course within plain view of the several hundred spectators expected.

Children are particularly vul nerable because of their outdoor summertime play, their natural curiosity and abbreviated dress during warm weather. Dr. Elliot says they should be taught to steer clear of stinging insects and »ot chase after them or try to catch them. Bees are more likely to sting on bright, warm days when their business of gathering nectar is interrupted. And when a heavy rain has washed the nectar from the flowers they are frustrated, angry and in a sting ing mood. Gaily colored or dark, rough clothing attracts them, but they tend to avoid white clothing with a hard finish. As might be ex pected, they are attracted by per fumes and scented cosmetics. When the worker honeybee stings, it leaves its stinger and venom sac in the victim’s skin. Even though separated from the bee, the stinger keeps working in deeper for about 20 minutes, while j injecting more venom. Remove ' the stinger and sac as quickly as possible, trying not to squeeze more venom into the wound. Cold packs will slow down absorption | of the poison and help ease the R.
