Band T? Meet
There will be a community band

o'clock at the Morehead City

(
Capt. John Nelson, state com
mercial fisheries commissioner,
presented his report on commer
cial fishing activities in North
Carolina for the past six months
to the Board of Conservation and
Development which met yesterday
and is continuing sessions today at
Raleigh.
Captain Nelson stated that the
newly - purchased 110-foot subma
rine chaser will be ready for use
the first of April. It is now being
overhauled at the Morehead City
Yacht basin. Another new pur
chase' for the department is an
automobile to handfc supplies for
the office and patrol boats.
Weather Unfavorable
The fisheries commissioner cit
ed unfavorable weather as the
cause for menhaden fishing, mul
let and spot hauls being less than
in the last six months of 1948.
The menhaden were late in ap
pearing in these waters and when
they did show up, it was too rough
to take them.
"Capt. Bonner Willis, one of
our best menhaden fishermen/'
Captain Nelson reports, "said he
had enough menhaden in his net
one time to load his boat twice,
but had to turn them out be
cause it was so rough he could not
bail them."
The calendar year of 1949 was,
however, the best in the history
of the menhaden industry, accord
ing to authorities.
Shrimp Production
During July 1 to Dec. 31, 1949
there were 6,623,111 pounds of
shrimp produced as against 6,509.
Ill pounds the same six months of.,
last year. (This weight is with
heads on).
The commissioner pointed out
that in recent years most of
the shrimp have been taken on
Die inside rather than in the ocean
as once was the practice.

To Injunction
To Stop Boat Sale
A warrant charging larceny and ;
aiding and abetting in larceny
has been issued against Frank S.
Davis and J. A. Ncwsome, and
Davis in return has had an in
junction served against the sher
iff's department to prevent the
selling of the cabin cruiser, Air
line II, by virtue of tax warrant.
The Airline II was scheduled to
be sold by the sheriff at noon
Friday at the Morehead City yacht
basin, following its return from
Myrtle Beach, S. C., where New
some is alleged to have sailed it.
The cruiser was stolen from it*
berth at the Morehead City yacht
basin at 6:45 last Tuesday night.
There will be a hearing on the
injunction matter Feb. 3 at High
Point. Davis, owner of the boat,
and Newsome, his brother-in-law,
will be tried on the charges against
them next Tuesday in recorder's
court before Judge Lambert R.
Morris.
Sheriff Gehrmam Holland re
ported that the cruiser in the
course of its voyage cither to or
from Myrtle Beach, sprang a leak.
A large number of people, not
knowing about the injunction, ga
thered at the yacht basin for the
sale of the boat Friday. Other
parties, known to be interested in
buying it, were notified by tele
phone that the sale could not be
made aa scheduled.
Fishermen Beqaed Buoys
Ob Wrecks oH Tips Coast
Commercial fishermen have re
quested W. A. Ellison, Jr., direct
or of the Institute of Fisheries
Research, to determine the pract
icability of buoying wrecks off
the North Carolina coast which
are so destructive to nets.
Marking of these wrecks by
means of buoys would serve i
twofold purpose, Mr. Ellison point
ed out. It would serve commercial
fishing Interests by enabling
their boats towing submerged
net* to steer clear of the wrecki:
nd it would enable the party boat
operator! and I porta fiahermei to
find the wrecks easily. Wrecks
are well-known harboring grounds
of fish sought by aporta fisher
men.

Did Midnight Taps Foretell
The Coming of Death?
By Wallace G. Styron
I wonder if you believe in
ghosts, or spirits, or tokens of
things to come. I wonder if there
isn't a little superstition in the
mind of everyone. You say there
is not? Well, before you disclaim
any tendency toward the supersti
tious, let mc ask you if you have
ever been put to the test. I claim
to have very little of this weird
and uncanny stuff about me. yet I
say there is no human being who
is totally devoid of this unearthly
force.
There are only just a few people
who arc not affected to some ex
tent when they find themselves in
a lonely cemetery after dark. They
can't explain why. They really
know there is nothing to hurt
them; yet there is that strong still
ness that creeps over one, and any
little noise that is heard sounds
a* if someone it trying to tell you
something from behind those white
tombstones that mark the last long
sleep of the dead.
I wish to r.y that these ghost
stories of 50 years ago were real
to a gr?A many more people than
now. That la to say nearly every
one in those years of long ago
believed Is visits from tbe spirit
world.
When I was ? lad there were
10 in the family, four boys and
four girls and my mother and fa
ther. Neighbors would call most
every night and tell tales of tho
past and present. They would also
tell of things that happened to
themselves and to others also;
talcs that bordered on the super
natural. Many times 1 have heard
those uncan iy stories repeated,
and I would listen in awed silence
until I could feel my scalp tingle,
and was so afraid that I would not
go on the porch for a drink of
water without some older person
with me.
You remember those times,
don't you? Of course, every elder
ly person remembers those times
and those old ghost stories.
What I am about to relate surely
had some of the earmarks of a
ghostly visitor, however, no per- 1
son was seen. No wraithlike shad
ows of unearthly visitors, but a
noise like the sound of a giant |
Morse key tapping '&ut a message
from the Beyond, a message in
tended for mother and me.
I was quite young at the time,
too young in fact to know what it j
was or from whence the sound
came. It was like this: I had a
sister who was sick at the time,
aged about 5 years.
She had been ailing several
months and apparently was get

Census Supervisor
Seeks Workers
In This County
Thirty - three enumerators and
two crew leaders will be required
in Carteret county to undertake
census operations, Nere E. Day,
Jacksonville, supervisor in the
third congressional district, an
nounced today.
Mr. Day stated that a represent
ative of the census bureau will
be at the court house in Beaufort
Thursday, Feb. 2, to interview
applicants from this county who
wish employment in census work.
Application forms will be furn
ished and notice of time .and v! ace
for giving the written tests, re
quired by the bureau of applicants
as part of the qualification pro
cess, will be given.
Besides being the largest enroll
ment ever made, this the 17th de
cennial census will be one of the
most vital population counts ever
staged While the Bureau of the
Census estimates that the popula
tion of North Carolina will show a
definite increase over that of 1940,
it is estimated that North Carolina
may lose one of its twelve Con
gressional districts.
This loss is due to California
and some other states having had
a greater ratio of population in
crease than North Carolina. It is
therefore, of utmost importance
that everyone be counted in this
census, Mr. Day explains.
The supervisor added that work
will start April 1 and it is hoped
that counting will be completed
by April 10. Pay for enumerators
has not yet been definitely de
termined.
The Bureau of Census opened
its office in Goldsboro about ten
days ago. In charge are Mr. Day
and his assistant, J. B. Hooks of
Fremont.
