With the closing of this station, the finish has probably been written for old Portsmouth, once a thriving resort town, once destined to become a great port of entry, but which during later years gradually declined in size and de creased in population until today there are less than 100 persons living there. Members of the crew of the station and the place where they were trans ferred to follows: Troy Morris, B.

Whoever wrote the copy for the book let deserves a great deal of credit be cause he or they did an excellent job. Off hand we would say that John Sikkes had quite a bit to do with editing the job. It seems to be his language, and he has the ability for saying much in a few words. That is the secret of successful writing. We know who did the photos which illustrate the booklet and they too are excellent. The photos or the majority of them are by D. G.

Thus an understanding of the basic issues in these battles in the House and Senate are desirable for those following the course of this and other legislation. At the outset, the President re commended a total of $1,500,000, 000 for various relief activities. Thi3 amount was promptly challenged. Some members of the Congress favor ed doubling that amount and others 1 Continued on page eight) To Have Catching Turtles He Is Diving For When the above photos were origi nally run in The Beaufort News two years ago, a Kentucky angler fishing in nearby waters bought 30 extra papers to be mailed to his friends back home. He wanted to show them how they used to do it down here in Carteret County. The draw ing showing a man diving overboard from a skiff after a Leatherback was photographed from an old print ap pearing in a U. S. Bureau of Fisher ies book, now in the library of the Fisheries Laboratory on Pivers Is land. The caption beneath the draw ing read: "Method of catching tur tles in Carteret County, North Caro Postpone Opening The Beaufort Park Commis sion announced today that the proposed official opening of Beaufort Community Center which had been previously set for Saturday night, June 5, has been postponed to a future date, Atlantic Beach's Chief Life-Guard m a LeRoy Guthrie I pRov Guthrie of Morehead City who for the past several years serv ed as life guard on Atlantic Beacn, is there aeain this year as chief of the life-saving crew.

On Tuesday night, when Jimmie Liv ingston played for the opening dance in The Casino, more than double the number of terpschicereans were pres ent than had been estimated by beach officials would be there. This pleased everybody and everyone seemed to be having a splendid time. If you dance it is not hard to have a good time when Jimmie Living ston and his musicians are making music for you. Patrons of The Cas One Pound Spuds Given To Editor Dr. Clifford W. Lewis, 'gentle man farmer' gave the editor of this newspaper two huge Irish potatoes today, the largest tip ping the scales at exactly 16 ounces. A 16-oz potato so early in the season is something worth writing about. If any other farmers in the county can eq al or better this record, bring them to The Beaufort News of fice. (Note: You might also bring along a peck of smaller ones for the editor's private consumption or beans, cabbage, beets or any kind of produce you happen to raise. A.B.)

And the manage ment of the beach in turn, employed Jimmie Livingston and his orchestra for the entire season. Non-dancers are extended a cor dial invitation by the management to attend the free afternoon concerU on the boardwalk, each day of each week. These concerts are presented from the veranda of The Casino, ad jacent to the Boardwalk. A splendid crowd went to the beach last Sunday. On this coming Sunday, with weather favorable, an even larger throng will be present according to present indications. Patronage at Hotel Atlantic Beach has also been very good, it was stat ed by an official of the beach. Capt. Stewart Feted Upon His Retirement Capt. Elmo Su vart, (Boatswain Mate 1 CI.) retired from the U. S. Coast Guard on Tuesday following 29 years and 10 months in the ser vice. Upon his retirement Capt. G. H. Meekins and the crew of Fort Macon Station where Capt. Stewart was classed as No. 1 Man for the past several years, gave a party in his honor. All members of the crew, the wives of many and several out siders enjoyed refreshments served at this party, and Capt. Stewart was very grateful for the honor. Capt. Stewart entered the service in 1907. He was first stationed at Cape Lookout, later being transfer red to Core Banks where he was sta tioned for many years. Until 1928 he was a surfman, but at that time was promoted to Eoatswain Mate 1 cl. Later he was transferred to Fort Macon. During his years in service he played impor ant roles in a great many rescues, 'ttnly last Sun day he rescued the occupants of a small sail skiff Shackleford. About 25 years ago he helped rescue the crew of the BriUh steamship This tleroy which sank off Cape Lookout with a cargo of cotton. Twenty five persons were saved in that res cue. Plan To Establish Local Auction Mart A BatWing Collar Brings Good Luck T. A, Purse of Greenville and Atlantic Beach wears a batwing collar when he goes fishing. Maybe that is the reason why he and his party fishing with Capt. Jess PageU aboard the Jesse on Wednesday had such good luck. Maybe the reason they had such good luck was be cause the other two members of the party were Methodist Clergymen the Reverends T. M. Grant of Greenville and C. T. Rogers of Beaufort. But they had real luck while troll ing off Beaufort Inlet during the hottest part of the day. Their catch totaled 246 bluefish, Spanish Mackeral and Bonito. hey returned to town, tired, hot and happy about 3 o'clock. Mr. Purse's collar was slightly wilt ed. The two clergymen were slightly sun-burned. Their's was an exceptionally good catch. POTATOES MOVING Irish potatoes are moving -from Beaufort and East Carter et county. On Wednesday sev- en carloads left by rail. A sim ilar number of car-loads were scheduled to leave today. And digging potatoes has just begun. By next week solid train loads of potatoes will be leaving Beau fort daily, according to the pre diction of shippers here. In addi tion to rail shipments, dozens of loaded trucks leave each day for distant marts loaded to the gunnels with East Carteret Irish potatoes. Kooler-Aire Comes To Local Theatre Manager Bob Lang of The Beau fort Theatre proudly announced last night that his Kooler-Aire system which was written up in last week's edition of The Beaufort News, arriv ed late Wednesday. He hopes to have the system installed soon which will make his theatre the coolest spot in the county. A Bull Dolphin And Its Captor Col. James L.McNairt It won't be long now untiGulf Stream anglers will be trolling for the big ones, similar to the bull dol phin shown in the above photo which was landed by Col. James L. McNair of Laurinburg who owns a summer home in Morehead City. As a mat ter of fact if the weather is favor able, (and as this is written the barometer is falling slightly) a par ty will go to the Gulf Stream on Friday. Col McNair caught his big fish in the photo, last summer. (Photo by D. G.

When yo see a flock of gulls busily engaged in flying over a certain spot and making frequent darts to the surface after bait, you may rest assured that a school of fish, usually blues or Span ish mackerel are milling in the wat ers below. The best bet is to locate the gulls and then you have located the fish. BUT TWO OF the best catchea made by anglers out of Beaufort recently were made in schools whichv were found by the fishermen guide before the gulls located same.
