until Aycock Brown heard of it,

that could be done on the Riviera

Covering The
Waterfront
By AYCOCK BROWN
f Editor's Note: Early this week
an old gentleman with a telescope
in one hand and a roll of chart
in the other came into The Beaa
fort News office and introduced
himself as "ZODIAC." On the
spur of the second I did not recall
who in the heck "Zodiac" could be,
but then like a flash of lightning,
my thought went back to the
football season of last year and s
number of my friends who said,
"Zodiac's predictions are ail .the
bunk I will bet the other way."
So they did bet the other way and
lost. Maybe you will see their
names, some of the fellows who
lost, in this guest column, which an

Principal oddity of the week
brought to The Beaufort News of
fice was a carrot which had grown
to maturity through the tiny hole
of a clamshell. Capt. Dave Willi
night policeman for Beaufort,
brought the oddity to the News

from the Ball Brothers, funny

Anihilates Gator
Amberjack
John Singleton, managing direc

week saw two queer looking eyes
on the road ahead shining like a
pair of flashlights. As he ap
proached closer to the eyes he
discovered that it was an alligator
which hurriedly made its way front
the causeway in to the water next
to the road. It was the third alli
gator, reported on Bogue Banks
this year. Two former gator's were
discovered west of the resort vil
lage,, near Salter Path.

The amberjack in this section is
not the top-water fighter like the
dolphin, but he is game to the
core, and it? sursring runs have
turned victory into deit for
many an angler. To check the j
powerful race of tha amberjack,
fishermen hers need a 4-0 to 6-0 j
