W. H. Lewark, senior C. G. Officer of this Area. This regulation is effective at oiwe. Lt. Lewark stressed the fact that only bona fide party boat op erators who derive their living from this work will be permitted to take parties off shore, and they will be permitted to operate only from sunrise to sunset. No change in regulations governing pleasure boats has been made. The ruling is that they cannot go out side. Barden's Inlet locally known as The Drain will be open for traf fic June first. Party boats and commercial boats will be allowed to pass through this inlet and fish in the vicinity of Cape Lookout heretofore closed to all traffic. . There are areas along Salter Path where boats will not be per mitted to enter at certain hours on certain week days. This infor mation may be had at the Coast Guard Office, Post Office Building, Morehead City. - News of the lifting of fishing limitations was met with enthusi asm by party boat operators. A hundred or more attended a meet ing at the City Hall, Morehead City, on Tuesday evening to dis cuss the situation. Chief Charles Bennett, USCG, presided, and the group talked the matter over from every angle. Already something like forty party boat fishermen of Beaufort and Morehead City have applied for licenses according to cmei Bennett. HUMBER MAKES CHALLENGING ADDRESS TO H. S.
