The Academy Honors
Dr. H. F. Prytherch
When the North Carolina
Academy of Science an
nounced that Dr. Herbert F.
Prytherch, director of the U.
S. Fisheries Biological Lab
oratory here, was the winner
of the Gold Medal award this
year, it was not only pleas
ing news to everyone who
knows the local fisheries ex
pert, but an honor justly be
stowed. Dr. Prytherch is
recognized as the World's
outstanding authority on
oyster pests. Through his
research he has discovered
pests and ways to combat
them which have saved the
oyster industry millions of
dollars or will perhaps,
save the entire industry if
his discoveries are practiced.
If the Town of Beaufort like
the Academy of Science pre
sented each year a Gold
Medal award to an outstand
ing citizen, Dr. Prytherch
would be the logical person
to receive same. He has
been responsible tor many
advancements in Beaufort
since he came to the local
laboratory in 1931. He has
cooperated in an advisory
capacity with the Duke au
thorities who have estab
lished the local marine bio
logical summer school unit.
He has consistently coopera
ted with other biological
units that have come here
for work or research.
.Through his efforts many
improvements have been
made at the U. S. Fisheries'
property on Piver's Island,
As a result of it all, Dr. Pry
therch deserves plenty 'of
credit, and this newspaper
through its editorial columns
is quick to tell its readers
about it all.

Help Make Coastal
Festival A Success
Every citizen in Carteret
county should make every
effort to cooperate to the
imit with the Morehead Citv
Junior Chamber of Com
merce, sponsors of the first
annual Coastal Festival to
be presented in Morehead
City on August 10, 11, 12.
If the festival is a success
this year, and it will be, the
event will grow to such an
extent from year to year
that it will naturally become
a Carteret Coastal Festival,
attracting additional thous
ands each year. Such an
event is costly to produce.
Just where the Junior Cham
ber of Commerce is getting
the funds to put it across
this newspaper does not
know. The sponsoring or
ganization cannot possibly
realize mucn protit trom the
venture, but the hotels, the
merchants and all those who
cater to visiting tourists will
casn in neaviiy. it is an
event which should be prof
itable to Carters County as
a whole and after this
year, this newspaper lirmlv
believes that Carteret should
come into the picture and
help finance the event. And
that is what will probably
happen. In the meantime
every citizen ot Beaufort,
Morehead City and the
county at large should give
their whole hearted coopera
tion to the organization
which had the nerve to es
tablish the Coastal Festival.
Perhaps the banks, off the North
Carolina coast, are not the place
to raise livestock. Those who are
interested in seeing vegetation re
stored there say they are not and
steps are being taken to rid the
banks of thtir livestock; at least
temporarily. Once the vegetation
has been restored and there is less
disposition to cut out the trees and
pasture livestock at large on the
islands, it will be possible to again
raise some there.
What was most interesting how
ever, to those from this section:
who attended the annual Fourth of
July pony penning and sale on
Ocracoke Island, was the most not
able improvement which has been
brought about in the past few
years in the ponies on that island.
Where formerly there were "knot
ty" little ponies of almost no work
value, it was pointed out. some
I good stock was offered on the
Fourth of July holiday.
David Koppel, New York art col
lector who owns a lodge on Ocra
coke Island, and w ho has been con
ducting an experiment in the rais
ing of polo ponies there, was given
credit for the improvement. Mr.
Kepptl placed some valuable
breeding stock on the island. The
blood of that stock now flows in
the veins of many of the ponies
which ran wild among the sand
dunes.
It was an experiment which may
not be repeated in just that form
on the mainland. Stock no long
er roams at will except on the is
lands. But that which was ac
complished in proving the banker
ponies may be brought about on
any farm in eastern Carolina for
the benefit of the owner of that
farm. The Sun Journal.

Twin City Fishing
Pier Needed

To the Editor:
Please let me call your attention
to the fact that, while the Cham
bers of Commerce, and other or
ganizations of Beaufort and More
head City, have been working
strenuously to attract visitors to
this coast, nothing whatsoever has
been done for the benefit of that
most lucrative source of our in
come from Summer people, the
Upstate fisherman, save to tell him
what tine fishing there is down ! badly
here. He is the forgotten man
when he arrives; he finds that ev
ery bridge over fishing waters is
jormuwen to mm, mere is no pier
from which he ca-i fish, and ho
must either row himself out in a
skiff, if he is experienced enough.
or hire a party boat. And most of
them do not want to go out in
boats, but would prefer to stand
on something as solid as the bank
of a river, or a fishing pier.
And that is just what we neetl
a fishing pier. All along the At
lantic coast now, and at every
coast town of Southern California,
fishing piers have been built for
the free accommodation of Up
state fishermen, and they attract
thousands daily, where there is
good fishing. Below Wilmington,
at one of the beacn resorts, as
many as two thousand have been
seen out on one pier alone.
Nowhere on the Atlantic Coast
is mere a tetter place, or Dvuvr
fishing, for a pier of this sort, than
in Newport Kiver, at the East end
of the highway and running paral
lel to the railroad bridge, on its
North side, a pier a thousand feet
long can be built out over twelve
feet of fishing water for about sev
en hundred feet of its length,
landlocked and secure from any
kind of a storm. This fishing drop
is the favorite place of anglers,
both here and from Upstate, and a
free pier for their accommodation
would attract, not hundreds, but
thousands of fishermen weekly
throughout the Spring, Summer
and Fall.
It has been argued that such a
pier will cut down the earnings of
party boats, but personally I think
that those who want to go out in
party boats will still do so, and
that their business will actually be
iinreased through greater crowds
attracted here.

the improvement has been needed
there for the past several

succeeded by a bridge) was con

When A Park Is
Not A Park
When is a State Park, not
a park? The answer is
when the State fails to de
velop same and make it at
tractive to visitors. Fort
Macon State Park here in
Carteret county is a fair ex
ample, of a park that is not
a park. Tne Superintend
ent of State Parks and the
State Forester may be satis
fied with the sjt up over at
Fort MaCon, but the Board
of Conservation and Devel
opment, or at least some
mighty important members
of the Board are not. The
Federal Government pre.
sented North' Carolina with
one of the finest historical
forts, line for the excellent
architecture, along the South
Atlantic coast when Fort
Macon was transferred. Not
only that, but the Federal
Government sent a detach
ment of OCC youths over on
Beaufort Inlet who under ex
pert supervision partially re
stored the famous old struc
ture. Fort Macon today is
a structure that is really
worth driving hundreds of
miles to see and so far this
year a few thousand tourists
have driven such distances
to visit the furt.
But the actual fcrt is not
all that should be offered by
.the State. Or, if it is, the
structure should become a
unit of the Hall of History
and advertised as such, in
stead of a park with several
hundred acres of dune land
surrounded by the waters of
an ocean, an inlet and a
sound. There has been some
criticism about the nominal
charge of ten cents to enter
the old fort. But that is in
cidental. If the State needs
the dime it is well worth the
price for a person to visit the
fort. But still Fort Macon
State Park is not in reality a
Park. It will not be a park
until the State builds picnic
areas and sheds where per
sons can get in out of the
rain without paying a dime
to keep from getting wet. In
other State parks cottages
have been built to take care
