three issues ago listed Fred Seeley
as one of the legislators who would
be a candidate to succeed himself.

was a sub dealer under the Jackson

SCIENCE AND ART
WILL BRING FAME
TO OLD BEAUFORT
During Summer Three
Biological Units
Coming Here
Woman'. College Will
Establish Art School
Science and art are destined
to bring fame to historic old
Beaufort. Already Beaufort is
second only to Woods Hole,
Massachusetts, as the center of
marine biological experiments
along the Atlantic coast and
with the announcement this
week that Woman's College of
the University of North Caroli
na, Greensboro, would estab

Beaufort, the Carteret coast

terested worker in having another
and additional marine biological units
established at Beaufort said this
week that Duke University would
start actual construction of their
Marin Biological School in the south
side of Pivers Island within paonth,
Judge T. D. Bryson, of the Duke Law"'
School who was in town on business
said that he could not speak author
atively on the plans, but that he felt
sure that Duke was planning to begin
operations of their marine biological
summer school here during the com
ing summer. A very substantial pier
has just been completed on the Duke
properties and the paved road lead
ing to the site has been finished. Dr.
Prytherch is of the opinion that the
unit to be built this spring will con

. .Finback Whale : '
The whale which Dn Yeomani mad
a party of friends killed down at
Cape Lookout Tuesday afternoon a
bout 3 o'clock was not a 'hump-back'
a first announced through the pre
stories under Beaufort datelines, but
instead a 'finback.' Curator H. HV
Brimley identified the giant 50-foot
mammal when he, Dr. Herbert F.
Prytherch of the Fisheries Labora
tory, and Director Harry Davis, of
the museum and party went to tha
Cape Wednesday aboard the Sand
piper. Cecil Sewell, Roy Hamilton
Graydon Paul on Tuesday night were
planning to tow the 30-ton whale in
to Beaufort and display same on
Paul's Marine Railways. But after
seeing the whale on Wednesday, Mr.
Paul decided that the idea was not
practical as the whale, which had
been punctured with 100 or more
bullets from a 30-30 rifle, seemed to
be waterlogged. Associated Presa
and United Press stories about the
whale-killing covered the nation un
der Beaufort datelines and Lowell
Thomas, Paul Sullivan and other
newscasters announced the event ov
er national hookups. It was good
publicity for Beaufort. Just what will
happen to the carcass is not known.
