Fishing And All Outdoors By AYCOCK BROWN IT SEEM that a compromise has been reached between the sports men who objected to the diversion 'of game funds to the forestry divi sion and the Board of Conservation and Development which during its summer meeting in Morehead City proposed to use 10 per cent of game and license fees for opera tion of fire protection units. A . group of 10 persons, including five sportsmen and five members of the Conservation group, at a meeting in Raleigh a few days ago unani mously agreed to use $12,500 of diverted funds but no more. UNDER THE original proposal it had been planned to use up to 10 per cent or approximately $80, 000 per biennium. The compro mise agreement will be presented to the Conservation Board for ap proval at its October meeting usually held in the western part of the State. The Forestry division will have to get its funds from elsewhere, after the $12,500 rec omended to be transferred "this year only'' is used. (Continued on page 2) jgVICTOR. 'MEEK1NS c ONE DAY recently I spent an hour or so, being shown over the great Ederer net mill in Philadel phia. I saw hundreds of people many of them young women and middle-aged women working, earn ing their living. Without a job they would, no doubt, be on relief, a burden to the American taxpay er, working in sewing rooms, or weaving rooms, or other places where their skilled hands could be used. I saw them feed raw stalks of flax into machines that sent them on to other machines, almost countless processes, and finally the thread was spun on spools and put into a complicated machine that tied the thread into nets.

Ralph Nelson, leading sportsman guide of Atlantic ad vised The Beaufort News today that a party of seven anglers from Winston-Salem caught 36 channel bass, 17 weighing over 33 pounds, near his fishing camp at Drum In let one day this week.. .The larg. est tipped the scales at 38 pounds. Anyone interested in catching channel bass from the surf with rod and reel are advised to try Drum Inlet at this time. In the opinion of Capt. Nelson, the big autumn run of these copper-colored beauties has begun in a big way. Anglers catching big chan nel bass at Drum Inlet, who wish to enter their catches in the North Carolina Surf Casting Tournament which has been extended to Octo ber 31, will find blanks and a weighing machine at Fulcher's Store in Atlantic.

The season opened with the first shift of the wind to the north, west and prices have been fair, but hardly any better than last year. It means that coastal residents who are gotting a livlihood from mul let fishing are receiving approxi mately the same returns for their fish and their labors as they did last year, despite the fact that all food-stuffs have increased in price. Beach Haulers Of Core Sound Catch Big Hatteras Blues Big Hatteras Blues, and they have to be big to be classified as "Hatteras" were taken by beach haulers down the Banks near Drum Inlet by Core Sound com mercial fishermen in nets during the past week. If the report is an indication that these big blues are coming in towards the coast it wi!l be the first time since 1935. Dur ing 1935, or the Spring of that year, blues weighing up to 15 pounds each were taken by anglers and commercial fishermen in the Cape Lookout region. And it will be such a fish that will win the N. C. Surfcasting trophy for Blues this year. Coast Guard Taking Many New Recruits The U. S. Coast Guard which has almost ceased to take on new recruits until just recently will en list approximately 2,000 men im mediately, according to a press dis patch from Washington this week. This news will be received with es pecial interest in coastal areas and along the Outer Banks where many young men have been waiting for a chance to enter this branch of government service. Recruiting headquarters for this section is lo cated in Atlanta. The Beaufort News Moves To New Home The Beaufort News, Carteret's oldest and most widely .circulated newspaper vhich has .been .pub. lished in a building located at 109 Queen Street for the past many years, is now located in its new home on Craven Street, in the for mer residential building adjacent to Herring Radio Shop. The Beaufort Publishing Company has purchased the building and several hundred dollars has been expended in remodeling the structure into a newspaper office and printshop. William L. Hatsell is owner of The Beaufort Publishing Company. World War Horse At Open Grounds Given Publicity Plattsburg, 28-year-old World War horse, which served with Ui. American Expeditionary Fonwir.

Lighthous tenders. Recently the U. S. Lighthouse Service became a part of the U. S. Coast Guard, which is operated under the Treas ury Department during peace tir,e the U. S.

However, in case any one has been overlooked, Mr. Lassiter is urging that every tobacco grower who is not complying with the program this year and his farm has not been measured come to bis office at once and register his name and all tenants and sharecroppers on his farm.

The day of the week was correct but the date of the month should have been September 25, instead of the Jate mentioned in last week's edi tion. The Singing Class this year has a new program and one which is sure to please local residents. The program will be presented un der the auspices cf the local Ma sonic lodge. ne w c f Car t ei (An Editorial) Without assuming the role of an alarmist the Editor of The Beaufort News would like, to again, call to the atten tion of the North Carolina Delegation in Congress of the United States which convenes today in Special Session that our 300 miles of coastline is unprotected and unfortified against possible enemy invasion. We have written of this matter before, about our vast and somewhat lonely coast, which during modern warfare would prove should we be come involved an open door to America. Things have been happening during the past few week in wan crazed Europe which not only surprised the mighty powers over there, but each of you outstanding leaders selected by North Carolinians to represent our great State in the Congress of this great nation. We did not think that an enemy could conquer Poland in less than threo weeks but an enemy did that very thing. We are not saying thai an enemy of Great Britain could with her efficient fleet of Subma rines, and War machinery in general, capture the Bermudas and make that group of islands (less than two hours by fast bombing planet from' North Carolina) a base for operations, but we do believe it is possible. We are not saying that our nation will become involved in War, but we are not too young, to remember what they were saying in thS United States during 1914, 1915, 1916, and what actually happened isj 1917. And neither are you you men In Washington who are repre senting our State in the Special Session of Congress convening today). We know the BIG NOISE which is calling yon back to Washing. is NEUTRALITY. While you think of this very important matter ami debate on the proposals for revisions of our Neutrality Laws, pleas; for the sake of your very own State and very own country, think too of the very important matter of PREPAREDNESS, for what mtgM happen if the echoes of 1917-1918 come hack again. Remember that our coast line was conquered by the enemy throf years before the Confedrate State generally surrendered; Remember, . and check up on this, that the "warning net' in the War Game of . Autumn 1938, did not actually warn of the approach of half the "en emy planes" crossing our coast line to capture an area of which Fori Bragg was the center. Look at that map of your State's coast aad see for yourself the approximate center, or the point which can pro vide a natural harbor vast enough to care for our entire "one-ocean (and that is the Pacific) navy a place which is about equal distance from the Virginia and South Carolina borders and then don't ask for it but demand that CAPE LOOKOUT be made into a land, water1 and air base for the protection of our unprotected and unfortified Coast of North Carolina. Aycock Brown. Coast Guard Of Ft. Macon Assist Stranded Vessel .Fprt Macon . Coast Guard went to the assistance of the 2-masted schooner Esperanza of Charleston, which had grounded near' the mouth of Adams Creek Canal on Tuesday night. After several hours of tugging, the vessel was fi nally re-floated. Again on Wed nesday morning the Esperanza ex perienced difficulty near the inter section of the waterway at the point where the Beaufort and Morehead City channel begins.

Subscription Price until June Covering The Waterfront By AYCOCK BROWN MULLET FISHING has started along the coast again. The mul let fishing season starts 'suddenly. On one day it will still be summer time, and apparently there is not a fish in the sea that can be net ted. Then comes a shift of the wind to the north west. The old timers call it a "mullet shift'', and within a few hours crews are busy along the surf hauling in mullet3 by the truck load. Just what brings mullets into the beaches fol lowing these shifts I do not know but I do know that within two or three hours after a "mullet shift" waters which were barren of fish are literally alive with those jump ing silvery species which do so much to add additional silver to the pockets of fishermen and their families.
