C, April 27, 1939. Number 17. w0 Heron And Egret Rookery At Lenoxville Will No Longer Be Guarded By Audubon Warden Capt. Godwin Served As Warden During Past 14 Years Lenoxvilla heron and egret rookery loses its protection this year as a result of cor . rier-cutting economizing on the part of the National As sociation of Audubon Socie ties with headquarters in New York. Unless the North Carolina Bird Club can make ar rangements to give the birds pro tection by a warden, the rookery this year will be open to any per son mean enough to go there and harm the birds, steal tne eggs irom rests or whatnot. Robert P. Allen, sanctuary di rector of the national association of Audubon societies advised Capt. Godwin through letter a few days ago that they could no longer pay him the $60 per year salary for posting signs against trespassing at the rookery and watching the birds. Capt Godwin had been warden for the past 14 years. There is a possibility that the North Carolina Bird Club will as sume the responsibility of protect ing the birds and employ a warded. There is also a possibility that the Carteret Game Warden will be in structed to guard the rookery from invasion by persons who would harm the birds. Capt. Godwin's letter from Mr. Allen which gives reasons for the Society's discon tinuance of warden service and other interesting data relative to the rookery follows: Dear Captain Godwin: - I was glad to have your report and to know that your interest in the Lenoxville Rookery continues. Owing to increasing demands made upon our financial resources by bird species that are in a really Ciitical condition in this country, (Continued on Page 8) Covering The ; Waterfront By AYCOCK BROWN ! FOR THE past several days have been planning to write Story about the fishing laws, the size of net meshes and other data in connection with the recent in cident down at Cape Lookout when m.inv fishermen usina nets with meshes smaller than allowed by law, were ordered to stop fishing until their nets did comply with the law. One of the reasons I did not write the story was because I did not understand clearly both sides to the question. I still do not understand every little detail in connection with the question, but this week I was fortunate in receiving from my fine fishing friend Jimmie Guthrie, a letter, which explained pretty clearly how the matter stack up. 1 am run ning that letter today in this col tmn, because Jimmie Guthrie cer tainly gave both sides to the ques tion. The letter follows : To the Editor: ' BE SURE YOUR sins will find you out.

Albino Terrapin Found At Davis An albino terrapin of the dia mond back species was found in Oyster Creek near Davis on Mon day by Justin E. Davis of that community who in turn sent it to The Beaufort News editor with instructions that it be turned over to the laboratory on Piver's Island. Capt.

They have maintained this size hand now for 2 years, although the personnel has changed almost entirely since Paul entered State College last Fall.

Each senior class will have one appropriate representative of the class to be acclaimed during the program, by applause, as (a) King and as (b) Queen, with the subse quent crowning of the seniors so selected. Such schools as have suitable talent and as wish to do so have been invited to participate in a duet dance, one boy and one girl from each school dancing simul taneously through one "hot" num ber, each duet to determine for themselves whether they shall do the big apple, the little apple, or what-not.

RATTLESNAKE When the seven year old son of Kirk Dickinson of the Core Creek section told his father that he had seen a snake under the piano, his parent replied: "Oh, you didn't see any snake." Mr. Dickinson placed his hand under the piano to prove there was no snake there. To his astonishment he heard a rattle and with a stick he reached again beneath the piano. Out from beneath the piano crawled a young rattler with three rattles and a button on its tail. It was killed quickly and in the future when his son says snake, Mr. Dickinson will take him more seriously Now VICTOfC MEEKINS COUNTRY DOCTOR Continued As plainly as if today, I can re member his story of the return from death of the late "Court" Bliven. "Yes, my friends, it is hard to believe," the doctor intoned in his thin tumbling voice, late one night as we sat up at the home of a friend. "But," he continued, "Court Bliven and I made a sol emn pact that which of us should be the first to pass away would come again to let the other know there is returning from beyond the grave. "It was past midnight when I was driving home from Wanchese. The moonlight spread in silver patches across the road. It was just north of the 'Battleground,' where many soldier had met death. It seemed I felt a 'presence,' and tho I was speechless, and tho he spoke not a word, there stood 'Court' Bliven with the friendliest look on his face." Imagine the hair-raising effect this would have on a boy of 12 or 13. No wonder he was never for gotten by those who knew him. But this yarn was nothing to the one he told us about his experience when a young medical interne in Baltimore: (Continued on page two) Dead Whale Was Only Unconscious The dead fishing whale which Iredell Salter and Arthur Lewis found in their sink net down at Cape Lookout the other day was only unconscious. This was dis covered shortly after they had tied a hawser to its tail and were tow ing the mammal off shore to set it adrift... At the same time the whale regained consciousness it al most upset the boat, because it's idea was to go in the opposite di rection from which it was being towed. . .Cutting the line quickly Salter and Lewis released the whale in so doing perhaps saved their boat and their lives. No tell ing what would have happened if it had not been released as soon as it started showing signs of life. When the whale was first discov ered it was tangled and rolled up in the net and apparently very much dead, but, as outlined it was only unconscious.

Actor Victor Moore Would Send Fish To the Editor: Your paper, The Beaufort News is creating so much interest among the members of the "Leave It To Me" company now playing at the Imperial Theatre, that I am having considerable difficulty in keeping their minds o ntheir work, particularly Victor Moore who is crazy about fishing.

Four or even three years ago, a craft carrying such equipment appearing in our fish ing area attracted much attention locally. That was before big game fishing became a reality in stead of a sort of a dream. Many of the the cruisers coming into our North Carolina ports equipped for off-shore fishing are giving ideas to our local guides, would probably remain here during the summer for the Gulf Stream fishing off the Capes of Hatteras and Look out if they could book parties. Some of them, as a matter of fact, are booking parties for the ex ploitation of the fine fishing grounds ranging from 30 to 50 miles off shore at the Hundred Mile Curve or Contirental Divide. In the meantime our wiser boat men are equipping their vessels with outriggers, and more power ful motors.
