History is more than photographs. This is the way it was when the Cape
Fear Pilots Association was billed for its utilities by the city in October,
1936. The bill was mailed on a penny postcard. Joe Wiggs, who serves
as business agent for the pilots, says that their utility bill is rather high
er these days.

A public hearing will be held
November 2 at 5 p.m. on a plan that
would make human crematories
easier to locate in the county.
There is a quicker way to solve the
problems faced by two county

and operate crematories, which are
only allowed in heavy manufactur
ing zones by the county zoning ordi
nance.
County attorney Huey Marshall
told the Brunswick County Board of
Commissioners Monday that rather
than tamper with requirements of
the zoning districts already in place,
changing the definition of a ceme
tery to include crematories and
mausoleums will help solve the
dilemma more quickly.
Brunswick Funeral Service of
Shallotte and Coble-Ward-Smith
Funeral Service of Supply both
want to operate crematories, but
only Coble-Ward-Smith has proper
ty within an HM zone. A zoning
change that blocked construction of
a pet crematory in a residential
neighborhood at Town Creek four
years ago has created the current
problem which restricts human cre
matories to HM zones.
Brunswick Funeral Service wants
to operate a crematory in an area
that is zoned mostly commercial
low-density and residential adjacent
to its business on U. S. 17 west of
Shallotte. Cemeteries are allowed as
permitted uses in most of the coun
ty’s zoning districts, including resi
dential and C-LD zones.
The plan will be forwarded for
review to the Brunswick County
Planning Board, which meets
tonight (Wednesday).
By definition, a cemetery would
include a mausoleum, burial park
and crematory or any combination
of those, said Marshall.
Commissioners indicated they like

the text amendment for it won’t hold
up the funeral home projects to
await a lengthy draft of a new zone.
At a workshop last week, the plan
ning board began drafting a new
light manufacturing zone and dis
cussed how crematories could be
classified as such use.

Anybody with a line in shallow water is a red drum fisherman this time
of year, so all should be interested in the new regulation which takes effect
Thursday concerning these fish. The rule is: You can keep only one fish,
and it must be between 18 and 27 inches long.
This is a special change in state regulation (the limit was five; one could
be over 27 inches) which several weeks ago shut down the commercial
fishery for red drum until further notice.
The object of both restrictions, of course, is to protect and renew the
breeding stock, which according to our book are fish three years or older
(usually 26 inches or greater). This is their spawning season, but drum can
live for decades so allowing more fish to live should magnify their produc
tivity immensely.
me euimiieieiai suuiuuwn ui nu iuccu eunj»cquciiee, uui uic angling
clamp-down calls for concern, for a great number of fishermen here spend
their fall and winter looking for lunker drum in the surf, or trying for big
pups in the rivers and creeks.
The concerns should not be devastating, for any one fish over 18 inches
can provide a good feed, and drum are eminently releasable. Gene Fuss
taught us that several years ago when he was tagging and releasing drum
on Bald Head, some over and over again.
Of course, that same experience also taught us how dumb drum are. But
we should never blame the fish for getting scarce.
We visited with the captain and crew of the pew Division of Marine
Fisheries patrol vessel at the Southport Marina last week, and found the
boat quite impressive. Gray, businesslike in appearance, the 48-foot alu
minum vessel is a replacement for the 39-foot (and much slower) Royal
Shoals, and both in speed and bulk she should prove a far superior vessel.
Her (the transom lettering says “N. C. Marine Patrol Morehead City”)
skipper is Wayne Gray, who launched a 33-year Coast Guard career aboard
the 95-footer here in the 1960s and who is now several years into his sec
ond career at DMF. Sailing with the four-man crew for the day was
Brunswick enforcement officer Donald Goins, who pronounced the new
boat “a dream.”
We spoke with Lt. Mike Davis at DMF on Tuesday about the new boat
and he apologetically noted that the project was put out for bids twice, and
the only taker was Sea Ark in Monticello, AR.
Davis said he visited the factory and found that Sea Ark is widely
known. Other boats in the making there were destined for (former Soviet)
Georgia; a Middle Eastern shah, and the Colombian government.
In other new-boat news, a replacement ferry is in the offing for the
Southport-Fort Fisher run. The plan is to relieve the conventionally steered
Gov. Daniel Russell with a vessel that has the improved maneuverability of
the Southport. The Russell is to be shifted to duty where the demands on
her handling are not so great.
We understand that the replacement should come in about a year.
Lobbies for naming undoubtedly are cranking up even now, but we’d like
to suggest keeping the “Russell” here. North Carolina ferries have under
gone name-change, if not name-transfer, before.
