By Ajrcock Brown WITH AMPHIBIOUS GROUP 2, Off Vieques (Delayed) To the north of us is the mangrove fringed, snow white beach of Vie ques Island. To land there with General Hart's assault force we will board LCVP's and pass through the Bahai de la Chiva, a bay that normally, no doubt, would be excellent fishing waters. Maybe just for the heck of it, some one will drop a line and lure overboard to tow behind this great command ship as our ma neuvering speeds are reduced. Maj. J. P. Rathbun, the shore bombardment officer attached to this ship, was telling me as he did some experimental trolling from the Mt. Olympus's stern on the way down, about the big tuna he had hooked and played off New England on a similar occasion. The tuna was'never landed, but it gave him a good play. When there is time for fishings members of the ship's crew can draw tackle from the recreation officer. Manyi of the marines have the official, fishing tackle kits in their gear, i Beyond Bahai de la Cliiva and! the white coral beach are low lying hills, which are higher than I anything along the North Caro lina coast, except the dunes of Dare and Currituck.

Today board Wednesday night in the the only settlement is Isabel Se gunda on the north shore. There is some confusion in my mind about the island of Vieques. Note 3 of the ship's plan of the day on Monday said that, "There is a mmuii iuwn ai me nortnern end of the island with a popula tion of about 100. There are no welfare or recreation activities available, other than fishing. Since there are some poisonous fishes in this area, it Is Advisable to check wijtf youi" gnV Joctbr before you decide to eat your catch." If the Navy's description is cor rect the intelligence is different from that which 1 received in the PIO headquarters at Camp Le jeune. There I was shown pic tures of Isabel Segunda. It was quite a sizeable place, larger in appearance than Manteo, Swans boro or Southport. The location of various utilities of the town were pointed out by a marine corporal who took part in the maneuvers last year. He also pointed out a clearly visible fortress back of the town, shaped somewhat like Arch eologist J. H. Harrington's recent model of old Ft. Raleigh. This fort, I would assume, was built by the Spaniards shortly after Columbus started taking over the West Indian isles for Queen Isa belle. The marine corporal not on'y pointed out the places of in terest in the town including the location of the rum shops, but Se NAVY MARINES Page 4 Dan Taylor, Native of Sea Level, Buys Palm Beach Hotel NEWS BRIEFS Ben Taylor, colored, was arrest ed at 11:30 Friday night along the North River road.

The monthly orthopedic clinic, Dr. Hugh Thompson in charge, will be held at noon today in the health offices, New Bern. Newport town commissioners will meet at 8 o'clock tonight in the town hall. Dan Walker, manager of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, repeated the request today that any veteran interested in a co operative housing development should contact the Chamber of Commerce, B 8241, or mail pos tal card. Expression of interest means no obligation, Mr. Walker said. Class rings for the seniors at Beaufort high school arrived Fri day. The oyster season has been ex tended 'two weeks.

Extension Service Extends Thanks To County Board In a statement released yester day, R. M. Williams, county agent, representing the State Exten sion service, thaiiKcd the county board ot commissioners for their ! net ion which will supply a portion of the salary for an assistant conn ty agent. Mr. Williams' statement follows: The Carteret County Extension j service office wishes lo express its sincere appreciation for the : action taken by the county board of commissioners at their last meet ing on February 7lh regarding the employment of an Assistant Farm Agent for Carteret county. We also wish to thank members of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, interested farmers in the county and pcrso el from State College who offered their 'sssistance in the promotion of the project. It is definitely felt that this is a wise investment and one that will pay large dividends from an agricultural viewpoint in the fu ture. The employment of an Assistant Farm Agent for Carteret County will not shorten the working hours or decrease the Extension load here in the county. With the em oloyment of additional personnel in any organization likewise car ries along with it additional res ponsibilities and duties. A County Farm Agent repre sents a middle man or a go be tween of our Agricultural College and Experiment stations in en couraging rural farm people to attain higher standards of living iy adopting better recommended arm practices. Our Agriculture College and Ex periment stations have without question been worth millions of dollars to the agricultural interest of North Carolina. Much of the teaching material, experimental facts and information relative to various phases of all farming acti vities is of little value until it is made available to every farm fa mily who is in position to take advantage of what is being offered them. What wc are interested in in the employment of an Assistant Coun ty Agent is an enlarged agricultu ral program for this country. Agri culture is an important enterprise in the county. It furnishes employ ment and a livelihood for a great Sec SERVICE Page4 I her away from Kinston who write for appointments wil be given pri ority number Persons should write to Lenoir County Cancer Center, Health Department, Kin ston, N.
