Alice Joyce Fulcher's Daddy Saved Her Life It was a lucky thing Tuesday morning down on Harkers Island that Alice Joyce Fulcher's father was a coast guardsman and that he happen ned to be there at the time. She is the 22-months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fulcher of Ocra coke. They were visiting Mrs. Ful cher's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Shellie Davis, when Alice Joyce, playing out in the yard drank some kerosene from a can near an outside fire ov er which clothes were boiling. As a result the c.uld was uncon scious for about 15 minutes, "limp as a rag" as her father described it. By the use of artificifl respiration, such as every coast guardman knows, Mr Fulcher finally brought life back to bis little daughter an ! then she was rushed to Dr. Moore', office here for further treatment.

It is by far the best boat here abouts for cruises out there beyond Cape Lookout where the blue water begins, and fishing from her decks anglers have landed more of those species, for which she is named "Flying Dolphin," than any other vessel along the coast with the pos sible exception of a boat owned by Frazier Peele of Hatteras. ABOARD THE FLYING Dolphin will bea crew of four, one more person than she carried last year when sailing under the name of "Lu ther M. Werner." For those who do not have suitable tackle, brand new boat rods and reels, properly equip ped for the fastest fish that swims, will be available for a small rental charge.

If you were there last Sunday you saw several hundred bathers in the surf. If you were there one day last season you probably saw Miss Mar garet Howland and Miss Velna Nel son of Morehead City, when their photo was made on a grass covered sand dune, pictured above . . . Vast improvements are being made at the beach this season. Since last Sunday the boardwalk has been re paired, free showers have been es tablished on the open beach and drinking fountains placed at conven ient locations. Under construction at present is an open air' "restaurant, which, when completed will resemble the after deck of an ocean liner. The hotel is being gaily trimmed with blue paint as are other build ings. Each Sunday during May the bath houses and drink stands will be open, and the hotel and beach prop er will formally open on May 31. (Eubanks-News Photo). Scott's Body Returned . The body of Adrian L.

HATTERAS BLUES Thirteen thousand pounds of giant Hatteras Blues were taken near the Outer Diamond of Dia mond Shoals southeast of Cape Hatteras Tuesday by three crews of Carteret fishermen. They reached Potter's Fish house here early today and were being prepared for shipment. Thomas Lewis, Telford Willis and Adrian Willis were skippers of the crews making the big catch. The current price for this, species is only four cents, .it was stated, which netted the fishermen only $520 for tho catch but that is big money for fishermen at certain seasons. It is believed the Blues are headed fouthwestward, which probably means that they will strike in at Cape Lookout soon, thus afford ing sport for anglers.

J. G. Allen, at the re quest of this paper, expressed de light not so much because the Junior-Senior dance held at the Atlantic Beach Casino on the evening of May 8th has been reported as being per haps next to the largest . and best managed affair held at the beach at any time, but rather with his Board was delighted chiefly because of the enjoyment of the seniors and the numerous expressions from patrons, students, county officials and other guests saying that in their opinion the dance was easily the cleanest, best conducted, most varied, "hom iest," and generally speaking the most delightful affair held at the beach within their memory. The superintendent, board mem bers, and senior class presidents have made and will continue to make numerous inquiries as to the pres ence of any objectionable or unbe coming features of the dance but as yet have found not even slight ad verse criticisms.

Parent Birds Return To Same Location VVIieie Young Baked Last Year With the arrival of a score or more American Egret tn Monday of this week, each of the five sp.-cies which formerly rooked at Lonox ville are again represented, and ('apt. Dave Godwin, employed by the Au dubon Society to protect the birds says that a total of several hundred herons and egrets are there this seas on. The five species represented are American and Snowy Egret, Black Crown, Louisiana and Little Blue Heron. Officials were uncertain whether the migratory birds which winter at a government sanctuary in Louis iana would return to their former nesting place in Carteret county this year. That was because last summer a forest firo destroyed the rookery and baked alive many hundreds, and possibly thousands of young birds. 1 As a result of the tragedy which befell the rookery in 1935, national publicity was given in newspapers from coast to coast. And now orni thologists, both amateur and profes sional are constantly beseiging Capt. Godwin with letters to gain informa tion aoout tne birds and many hav re paid the place visits.
