And the Atlantic Ocean, not to mention a couple sizeable sounds are getting off. . A. C. Stratton does not look like a figure in a cataclysmic chapter from nature's book, but North Carolinians as far inland as 50 miles or more might well regard him as the general of a long thin ; yellow line which is keeping their jl, geography intact, keeping a wild surf from pounding over their ' farms and cities, and saving their network of inland waterways and a substantial fishing industry. GEOLOGISTS estimate that if the long finger of Outer Banks . which point out into the ocean were to keep pounding to pieces, the banks would disappear the time depending upon stoTm condi- tlon3acrtfte2E3W&THM p safely at bay, would invade the low mainland for many miles.

Joe Kelly Comes From Manteo To Beach 28 ROUNDS SCHEDULED ON CASINO CARD Henry Gillikin, Morehead City's fighting fisherman, who has always proven to be a sort of terror for his oppo nents in The Casino arena, meets Joe Kelly, of Manteo, billed as the champion of the CCC in that sector on Friday j night. They weigh in at 140 j pounds each and their bout will top the card in the third of a se I lies of weekly boxing shows in The Casino promoted by Frank J. Allston, former Elon Athlete, but who for the past 12 years has been athletic director of the pub lic schools in New Bern. Gillikin is practically undefeat ed. During his ring career of some 30 bouts he has never been decisioned but once and has scored knockouts in over half of his arena battles. Locally, fight fans are beginning to think there is no one in the same class who can see vic tory with Gillikin's powerful left. The Gillikin-Kelly bout will be a 4-rounder. Last Friday night Gillikin kay oed Marty Watkins, billed as a UNC varsityman for two years with defeat only to the Southern Conference Champion at Universi ty of V'irginfa in less than the first half of the first round. James Hunnings of Beaufort fighting near ft draw for the first two rounds in a 4-rounder with Spec Tyson, of New Bern, made sensational gains during the last two rounds and decisioned his man. They are saying that Runnings really has something but needs n bit more training before meeting a big timer. (Continued on Page 8) 4-Master Reported Afire Off Lookout Tuesday 10 A. M. Beaufort News office received a report from Cape Lookout Coast Guard . Station early Tuesday morning that a 4-masted schooner (unidentified) was apparently a- fire off the shoals about 15 miles seaward. The report came in about 10:00 o'clock and while the U. S. C. G.

Race Track With a spirited fight both by the proponents and oppo nents of the legalization of race track operation and pa rimutuel betting for More head City for several weeks, the matter came to a head on Tuesday and an election was held. Proponents were winners and Morehead City can have horse or dog track and pari-mutuel betting also becomes legal. The vote was 462 for and 264 against. The majority was 88, as 112 persons qualified to vote did not vote. It means that race tracks can be established (and probably will be) thus giving Morehead City the distinction of becoming the first plate in North Carolina where tracks and pari mutuel betting is legal.

MEEKINS Well, Jennette has gone and done it; his ocean pier is complet ed. Folks said when he started he wouldn't get his money back. It cost a good many thousands of dollars to go out in the ocean a thousand feet with a wharf as wide a3 a highway bridge, built on in verted trees 60 feet long. But it looks like Jennette has brought something to the Dare County Seashore that is going to bring something else just like it, so popular will it become in a short while. Jennette's Ocean pier has more to it than just the pier. It has a comfortable refreshment stand, bait market, rest rooms, etc. And above all, it has about 30 zooms in its comfortable and spacious cot tages, all neatly furnished, with modern facilities. mean so much to but when a fisherman can come to the beach, where there is good (Continued on Page 8) t t V -' "' 1 MRS.

Fishing And All Outdoors By AYCOCK BROWN Editor's Note: Guest fishing columnist this week is Laureno Leonard, conductor of the Column "It's A Great Came" and sport editor of Greensboro Daily News who spent last week-end on the Carteret Coast and learned many interesting things about Gulf Stream Fishing which is bringing fame to our coastland. A. B.) By Laurence Leonard WHILE FISHING off the coast of North Carolina is now rated among the finest anywhere, there are many reasons to believe that this excellent sport is still in its in fancy in so far a3 that section is concerned and that within a few years further development will be made in one of our greatest na tural resources.
