Entrepreneur Oli ver Qavis estimates business was better in 1948 by some 50 per cent and thinks the volume of business for 1949 probably won't drop much below that of '48. His boats are bringing la sea, mullet, grey trout and a few shrimp. With the com ing of colder weather ha expects to get trout and drum. To Davis , market is now retailing spots far 25 cents, sea mullet for 25, cents, k trout for 45 cents, 'drums for 30 - cents, butterfish for 35 cents, and shrimp for 60 and JO cents. Dealer William Way is buying from five or six boats, muting one buy boat. Some 600 pounds of shrimp and 270. pound of mullet came in from the Cape region to this market to set a record last week. Disagreeing with the consensus in regard to the amount of fish caught this year are some of the smaller fishermen, among them Captain- Billy around at Dennie Glover's who opines that if you "kill the chickens you'll have no hens." He sides with those whe believe smaller catches are result ing from the taking of small fish in the nets and says his observa- tion is that there were fewer fish this year. Glover is selling shrimp for 45 cents, hogf ish for 20 cents, and getting his "stock" from in side waters. Captain Dennie is shipping terra pin to New York now.

The resultant dish is said to be far superior -to the soup prepared for urban gour mets. "Terrapin soup." say local turtle-fanciers "just don't seem ngni. ' W. T. Glover is getting a few roe mullet and small spots but handling no shrimp at the pre sent time. He expects ta get more trout shortly and "should be new" he says. Six hundred pounds of mullet, between 700 and 800 pounds of shrimp is the "high" for Hardes ty's, whose personnel doesn't ex pect to do much after Christmas and looks forward to only about six weeks more of even "fair fish ing." Trout and drum are expected in quantity here, too. According to Luther Glover, it is the cold that brings the trout and drum to gether and disconrages their scat tering, which adds to the difficulty of catching' them. Noe's market has turtle, too, but theirs are of the thicken or Logger head varieties. These they expect to take till summer in their nets and trawls," Used in stew and soup, they are also cut into steaks and featured in "turtleburgers" in such tourist-conscious towns as Key West, Florida. Slightly tougher .nan beef they have much the same flavor. Knowing natives there treat the steaks with citrus or papaya juice (which is high in pepsin content) in addition to beating them thoroughly. Grace Weatherington, too, thinks this year has been better than last and agrees with the national sur vey figures which show an increase in fish-consumption over pre-war years. New York's Fulton Fish Market, which handles seafood coming from points which range from Canada to Florida, recently releas ed figures showing a 20 per cent boost in sales since 1941. Even when meat prices tumbled, fish sales held up or increased. The theory is that the lack of meat, and its high cost, caused people to eat fish who hadn't before, and educated the usual Friday fish efrters into preparing seafood in different ways and serving it more frequently. At any rate, Fulton grossed an estimated 85 million dollars and expects to gross 100 million this year. oiacy uuiurte 01 namers j thatf he and bis fellow Isla Stacy Guthrie of Harkers Island Noe's renorts Islanders are taking mullets and some shrimp and he, for one, hopes the fishing will "hold up till Christ mas." His Chrysler-powered "Ann Clyde" is getting a new coat of paint and will be piloted home ward by her genial owner in sev eral days. Also wielding the paintbrush to good effect Saturday was Randolph Johnson of Beaufort whose boat, as yet, is un named. Gordon Hardest, "Ruth Ann" was in getting a line on her wheel and Brady Lewis' "Cool Breeze" was up for overhauling. Getting some mullet and a few shrimp from inside' waters is the Willis Brothers market on Bogue Sound. They are running two boats, the "Hilda" and the "Nel son," both skippered by Broad Creek men, and shipping to both Carolina and northern markets. They expect to get fish both from trawlers and sink nets with the coming of proper weather. Latham Willis, meanwhile, is running two boats in the vicinity of Cape Lookout and expects to start sink-netting right away. Last week and the week before brought in roe mullet but he says' he has had few spots since the heavy run three weeks ago. The season so far has been better for this firm than usual with mare fish bringing bet ter prices than in former years.

Captain' Bill la naming a charter beat business in Stewart, aa he has far the past several winters, thus combining basinets and sun-basking very nicely. Duffy Guthrie of Salter Path de livered 25,000 spots to Ottis Puri ty's market yesterday and says this U not particularly uauwtal that he has gotten more and has been getting spots since the first pf September, but no pullet.

O'Nsal la not expecting sink-nettere te da mack far a couple of weeks but expects the procedure te be profitable at the Beach, in Bogue Inlet, and around Cape Lookout, after that. Albert Lea believes the spots to be gone for this year and is look ing for. flounder as a result of lower temperatures and figures sink-netting should be held up till the shrimp trawlers wave, then outside waters should give up croakers, some spots, mullet and trout ' x ' The first shad roe of the sea son was taken by Morehead boats Saturday, according to Tony Sea-' mon, who closed his well-known Sanitary Fish Market Sunday night and will keep it closed till Jan nary, giving his employees a chance to take time off during the Thanksgiving and Christmas sea son. His whole staff cooks, wait resses, and "executives" will take their post down at the Jefferson and there serve the same fare a that featured at the SFM. The retail fish market will be closed also. One boat, the "Sylvia Jane," skippered by Thetodore Lewis, will supply the Jefferson with seafood. This boat has been bringing in hogfish, trout and sheepjjead re cently. Comes once more the plaintive plea from the various labs that we explain the difference between the various establishments here which have in common only their location and the type of work they do. Tradespeople, the post office, de livery boys, visitors even the highway sign people all mix up the various labs, causing confusion and misunderstandings of all kinds. Roy Hampton tells the story of how he drove out from the old section base to find a neat new sign pointing down the driveway which s-id "Duke Marine Labor at( "y, 14 mile." He made it his business to call the powers that be who might be concerned with the error and the sin promptly disappeared and was planted in its proper place, just west of the Beaufort draw. Came the next dawn and an other neat little sign stood in the same spot. This time it said "U. S. Fish and Wildlife Laboratory." Pa tiently, lie explained the setup again to those concerned and the second little sign progressed east ward to a more appropriate spot. Now the highway folks, at least, know the score but what about you? May we brief you on the mat ter? The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Lab, where Dr. Herbert F. Pry therch, Al Thomas and Captain Vanee Fulford work (not to men tion Mainstay Charlie Hawkins.) is housed in the cluster of white buildings at the north end of Pi vers Island. It has no connection whatever with the Duke University Marine Laboratory which is at the other end of the island and com prised of a group of low-lying grey shingled buildings and at which 01' Doc HUmm,' the 1 seaweed spotter, holds forth." ' ' Incidentally, to further clarify the matter and to aid the hordes of enquiring visitors who don't seem to know, the only real "sights" tq be seen are at the Fish eries Lab, where a museum and tquarium are located. The Duke lab was designed primarily for summer school classes and only a few research workers visit the place in the winter. Now the Morehead City Tech nical Institute is a branch of State College in Raleigh and offers class es designed to produce bigger and better (well, better, anyway) ma rine technicians people who run, build, or have any vocational in terest in boats. The Institute of Fisheries Research, on the other hand, offers no classes but is in terested primarily in research the why and wherefore of seafood abundance or scarcity and man ned by Director Bill Ellison, Fish eries Biologist Eugene Roelofs, Oyster special M Al Chestnut, shrimp-man Carter Broad and En gineer Charlie Newton. Is that clear? The personnel of the above mentioned establishments would find it immeasurably easier if thp idea could be put across for, to the uninitated, it seems to be a case of "a lab's a lab, for a' that" (With due and humble apolo gies for the paraphrase to the shade of the Scottish poet who was no mean naturalist himself.) (Continued From Page One) . .- olina Methodist conference had passed unanimously a resolution deploring "all forms of gambling, legal and Illegal" It was also an nounced that a similar resolution would be placed before the State Baptist convention meeting today at Charlotte. Rev. Mr. Jenkips told his fellow ministers that gambling is an at tempt to get something for noth ing and would result in a break down of the county's economy. '"Other evils, stealing and mur der are not legalized simply be cause 'they are prevalent," he re marked. 'There's no reason why we should approve legalize gamb ling.",',' 'V-"-" Rev. Mr. Jolliff claimed that gambling results In , people not paying grocery bills, children go ing hungry, and homes being lost. Principal speaker at yesterday's meeting was ' Rev.

W. Constable, chief chemist of the State Depart ment of Agriculture. Samples of several so-called "permanent type" anti-freeze mix tures submitted to the Agriculture Department's laboratories recent ly have been found to contain materials prohibited by state law, Dr. Constable said. Reports received from the west ern part of the state, he added, indicate that one of theso brands has been widely distributed in that area and complaints of damage al ready have been received. Samples of the following brands, the chemist reported, have been analyzed and found to contain illgela material: Cascade Permanent Type Anti freeze, distributed by the Alias Distributing Company, of Cincin nati, O. Spirt (correct) Permanent Type Antifreeze, distributed by the Spirit (correct Chemical Corpora tion, Philadelphia. Polar Zone Permanent Type Antifreeze, manufactured by (he Federal Chemical Manufacturing Company, Baltimore, Md. Samples submitted on nil of these brands, Dr. Constable said, were found to contain calcium chloride, a chemical that has caus ed widespread damage to motor vehicles in recent years when other antifreeze preparations were dif ficult to obtain. "Because of the corrosive nature of calcium chloride," he caution ed, "users of anti freeze should be very careful about what they buy to put in the cooling systems of their cars and trucks. Dealers should make sure before taking on a line of anti-freeze that the pro duct complies with the law and is free of .harmful substances. An act of the 1943 general as- BEAUFORT THEATRE Beaufort N.
