Salter Path Grows

Fishing Crews Land 139,000
Pounds in One Day;
Residents Want Road
By Aycock Brown
Sailer Path ? This once isolated
Village on Bogue Banks has in re- !
cent years become one of the most
important fishing and seafood pro
ducing communites on the Carteret
coast Anyway, that's what Harker
Island-born Steve Guthrie told me
and since he is a sort of one-man
chamber of commerce for Salter
rath, I believe he knows what he
is talking about.
? single day last weekend!
the fishing crews operating in the
T,r,b?yJcean's surf landed a total 1
of 139,000 pounds of fish, mullets
spots and bluefish.

of fish in the Salter Path area is

As a matter of fac' in the old
days I did write stories about Sal
ter Path and the need for a good
paved road to connect with paved
roads on Atlantic Beach and -thence
to the mainland.
I have been fully aware for many
?ars that Salter Path deserves a
better road in order that the mail
and school bus and the many trucks
wh ch haul seafood to market can
c 'r'p over an 'mproved
highway. It has not been so many
years since the island community

Safrit's sawmill, which is a short
distance east of thfe Beaufort
school on Lennoxville road.

A1 Deblanc, Newport RFD, has been elected president
of the Newport Rural Fire Protection association. C. A.
Gould, Jr., has been appointed secretary-treasurer, and
the following trustees were elected at a recent organiza
tional meeting: L. \V. Howard, Raymond Simmons, Y. Z.
Simmons. Floyd Garner, Jim Hill, and Lonnie Smith.
The Fire Protection association has been organized to
protect the homes, barns and out
buildings of farmers within a five
mile radius of Newport The or
ganization hopes to purchase a
fire truck at Cherry Point. Ben
nie R. Garner, chief was appoint
ed to decide on the amount the
association should bid.
Chief Garner reported yester
day that approimately $700 has
already been collected by the as
sociation. According to the reg
ulation* of the organization, a
farmer, to obtain protection by
becoming a member of the group,
pays $10 per dwelling and $5 for
each outbuilding on his property.
This payment entitles him to 10
years' service by the fire-fighting
equipment.
The town of Newport has
agreed to accept, house, and main
tain the equipment and furnish
the firemen to answer county
alarms. The truck proposed for
purchase by the asociation will be
equipped to carry 500 gallons of
water and the latest "wet water"
chemical equipment. This "wet
water" makes it possible folY 500
gallons to do the job of an ordi
nary 2,000 gallons.
A big item of discussion in the
rural protection plan is getting
word to the fire department,
namely the telephone problem.
The fire department reports that
during a trip by Governor Scott
to 'this county, a group of New
port people met with him and dis j
cussed the pnone situation. It is I
reported that the governor said
that if the private companies'
won't put phones in, the KEA will. ;
An alarm system has already been !
planned for installation as soon
as more exchange equipment is
available.
Both the town and the fire dep
artment are cooperating fully on
iXtYifraT fire protection plan. Ac
cording to a recent survey, a maj
ority of the farmers in and around
Newport said they favored the
program. It is estimated that ap- :
proximately $2,500 can be raised. 1
This would pay for purchase of
the truck and outfitting it with I
additional equipment.
A favorable factor in acquiring
an additional truck, firemen point
out, is that the townspeople will
not be left unprotected should a I
fire break out in town while the
town truck is fighting a fire in the
country.
It would also clear up the prob
lem of deciding when the truck
should be permitted to go out of
town and when it should not. 1
Committee Lists
Fire Alarm Boxes
In observance of fire preven
tion week, during the next few
days placards will be distributed
in Morehead City listing fire
alarm boxes and signals.
Ben Alford, chairman of the
Jaycee fire prevention committee,
said this is being done to familiar
ize citizens with the location of
their nearest fire Alarm boxes.
Special contests relating to fir$
prevention are being conducted at
the schools this week. Each
Morehead City school has had two
fire drills this month and more
will be held during fire prevention
week.
The hook and ladder truck of
the fire department will be park
ed in downtown Morehead City
and at the City Theatre a one
minute trailer on fire prevention
will be shown. A fire-fighting
demonstration is also scheduled to
he staged this week by the fire
department. Mr. Alford said the
time and place will be announced.
Officer Terms Hal Poison ,
Campaigns a Success
Dr. N. Thomas Ennett, Carteret
county .health officer, reported
today that the recent rat poison
ing campaign* at the Beaufort,
and Morehead City dumps met
with very good results.
Also placed in certain stores
were packages of Red Squill, rat
poison, which retails for 35 cents,
only 10 cents jm>re than its costs
the health department, ,Dr. En
nett explained. One package is
sufficient for one treatment to a
prentice.
The health officer also report- 1
cd that a rural sanitation program
in the county will be undertaken
in the very near future. A prelim
inary meeting will take place
this week.
Ohio Lad Seeks Work
On 'Gore Sound' Ranch
A photograph of banker ponies
racing in the surf of "Gore
Sound" was the cause of it all.
Lou (lore, Morehcad City, re
cently received a letter address
ed, "Gore Sound. Morehead City,
North Carolina." Enclosed was
a picture, clipped from a news
paper, showing the banker in
Core Sound ponies and a letter
from one David R. Ilaney, 706
Ruckhorn St., Ironton, Ohio.
Mr. Ilaney is seeking a job on
a ranch ? or any place where
there are cattle or horses. Evi
dently the picture of the ponies
in the surf appealed to him. In
his letter of "application" he did
not state whether he was equip
ped with water-wings.
