And in the face of all of this there has been no market glut, the prices have held up excel lently, and the demand has been good. Largest catches have been made by the mullet haulers on the beach On the beach of Bogue Island and Shackleford and also along Core Banks, Ocracoke and Hatteras Is lands, mullets have been taken in the greatest numbers in years.

On a visit to Ocracoke Island a few days ago the editor of The Beaufort News learned that the residents there were worried about plans for the building of a new Coast Guard station to replace the antiquated structure now serving the crew. Building of the Station would mean the expenditure of many thousands of dollars. It would give employment to many of the islanders. It seems that news had reached the island that plans for the con struction of the new building were postponed indefinitely. Upon his return to Beaufort, Editor Brown personally contacted Representa tive Lindsey Warren, to determine the exact status of things. This was on Monday when the First District representative was in Beaufort on a visit. Upon his re turn to Wasrington he wrote the editor of this newspaper as fol lows : "On September 28 I received a letter from Admiral Waesche sta ting that contracts had been let for certain necessary dredging and bulkheading at Ocracoke, prepara tory to the erection of a new com bination station building. It is iv.y I impression that th ' dredging ha-' neon complete'!. An niocauon oi about $110,0:10 has boon set aside for the work :: 'Vnicoke." The f.'i-i f.'.-i a.r is proof that the work will b. ca: ''io.i out as planned and Ocracoke will get a much needed nr.i combination station building.

E. Kelly, treasurer and general manager of the event which opens at the Graded School Athe 1 e t i c Field on Monday. One of the reasons it will be big ger and better' this year is because the Art Lewis Shows, one of the largest midway attractions in Am erica, with its 1 5 feature rides and 13 shows will be presented as the main attraction. Another reason it will be 'big ger and better' is because in Ex hibit Hall (the school Gymnas ium) there will be an increased number of agricultural, home ad school exhibits. Arrangements have been made to take care of the largest variety of exhibits of any former Carteret Fair, said Manager Kelly. In addition to ex hibits merchants and firms of Morehead City and Beaufort have rented booths. Exhibit Hall will be under the management of Mrs. Phil Thomas and Mrs. S.
