Tenth Year
The 1949-'50 season of the North
Carolina Symphony marks the
tenth year of Benjamin Swalin as
leader of the orchestra.
The rise of the North Carolina '
orchestra under Dr. Swalin's lead- 1
ership has been rapid, progress- !
in*; from six concerts in 1940 to
130 concerts in 1950. When the
orchestra was rejuvenated by Dr. ;
Swalin in 1940, its season was lim- 1
ited to a few week-end concerts. I
Now, ten years later, the or
chestra's itinerary includes ap
pearances in North Carolina, Ten
nessee. and Georgia. This ten-year
mark will be celebrated with the
orchestra's return visit to Mere
dith college in March, where Dr. j
Swalin a id his musicians made |
their initial bows almost ten years
ago to the day.
Unique Practices
The ten years have included in
novations that are now establish
ed policies of the symphony: au
diences participate in the program
by singing a hymn with the orches
tra: aspiring young artists are
given an opportunity through au
ditions to appear as soloists with
the orchestra. To insure fullest
enjoyment of the music, free pre
paratory material is sent to the
children in advance of the con
certs spccial concerts which the
orchestra plays in all communi
ties and which are admission-free
to the children.
No other orchestra spends its
season entirely on tour, nor is any
other symphony supported by a
state-wide membership plan as is
the North Carolina Symphony or
chestra.

Commissioner Craig Calls -
Attention to Zoning Laws
Persons starting to build
homes or places of business a- :
long highway 70 from Newport
to Cherry Point will save them
selves lots of grief if they first
contact the Cherry Point zon
ing commission.
This suggestion was made this
week by Aaron Craig, mayor of
Newport, who is a member of
the zoning commission.
He also added that failure of
Carteret county commissioners
to act favorably on the commis
sion's request for $1,000 is hind
sighted and detrimental to the
interests of the people.
Fire Chief Makes
Requests to Town
Commissioners
Beaufort Fire Chief Charles 'b.
llarrcll requested the town board
Monday night to purchase two un
iforms for fire truck drivers, foam |
for fighting fires and asked the
police department's cooperation to
preve.it automobiles from follow
ing closely behind fire trucks.
Chief H rrcll stated that if the
town eould purchase two uniforms
four of the firemen would pur
chase their own so that there
would be six with uniforms.
He added that the men would
make a better appearance that
way in case they were asked to
represent the fire department at
the funeral of a deceased mem
ber.
Board Com "lies
The board agreed to this re
quest and then discussed the pos
sibility of billing persons fur the
use of foam where that material
was used to put out fires. The
foam costs $1 per gallon.
Chief Harrvll said five gallons
were used to^put out the fire on
the Misspillion, a Beaufort Fisher
ies boat; five gallons on the fire
aboard the j. Earlc Morris, a Quinn ,
boat; five at Ivcy Taylor's service
station, and five at Foreman's ser
vice station. Core Creek. Five gal
lons were used also to train fire
men in the use of it.
It was suggested that the plan
ning board bring to completion its
plans on levying cost for fighting
out of town fires and report to
the town board in March, then the
town will consider the recommen
dations or proposed charges sub
mitted by the planning board.
Asks Pol ire Help
Chief Harrell requested that
members of the poJice departme it
arrest anyone, firemen or spec- j
tator. which follows right behind
the fire trucks or parks, right be
hind them and thereby prevents
efficient fire fighting.
The board also agreed to bear
the expense of cleaning clothes of
firemen when those clothes be
come soijed while fire fighting
Chief Harrell was made responsi
ble for determining which clothes
shall be cleaned at town expense.
The commissioners commended
Chief riarrell on the manner in
which he presented his requests
commenting that it was a pleasure
I to deal with a person who request
ed rather than demanded.
Parents' Night Tonight
The Boy Scout troop of Franklin
Memorial Methodist church will
observe Parents' Night at 7:30 to
night at the church. Parents of
the boys are invited and will be
entertained by the Scouts.
State Welfare ,
Men Offer Advic
Ob Proposed Jail
Newport Commissioners
Consider Plans for New
Municipal Building
I). B. Thompson of the State <
Department of Public Welfare and
T. A. Early, inspector of correc
tional institutions, conferred with I
Newport town commissioners at
their monthly meeting Tuesday
night.
The state officials gave advice ]
on the matter in which the jail
should be built when the proposed
new municipal building is con '
strueted on the highway just west
of Garner and McCain's store.
Mr. Thompson told the board :
that he would send them names of j
companies which manufacture
cell blocks. He said that plans for
jails must be sent to Raleigh and
approved by the welfare and
health departments and the insur- ;
ance commission.
The town board hopes to erect 1
a new municipal building which '
will contain housing for the town's
two tire trucks in addition, to a
jail and an office. Plans drawn j
up several years ago called for a ,
building estimated to cost <$18,000, ,
an amount the board feels beyond '
the ability of the town to pay.
Tax Decision Made
Tl?e commissioners agreed 1o
accept $100 settlement on an $83. |
06 tax owed by Mrs. James Win
gate. Penalties and interest on the
tax amount to $60.50. j |
Tony Hill was relieved of two
years' poll tax because he reported
to the town clerk that he had not
been living in town during the
years in which the tux was levied
against him
The town paid $223 to have the
present town hall moved 10 feet
west of its former site' to make
xpace tor the building of a garage
for the new fire truck.
Mayor Aaron Craig read a let
ter from the highway department
stating that stone would be un
loaded at Newport in the near fu
turc. The stone will be used tor
strett repair. * *
lie also read a letter from the
town attorney. George Ball, stat
ing that the deed for the land on
which the housing cooperative will
be located has been sent to Wash- |
ington for execution, and ex
change of national forest property
will soon be possible. '
iille Papers Needed
Edith Lockey, clerk, reported
that she had not received title pap- |
ers for the new fire truck. Bennie
Garner, chief, reported that new
equipment has already been
bought for the truck. It carries
550 gallons of water, five gallons |
of wot water have been purchased .
in addition to 100 feet of hose, two j
sirens, new ladders, and on order 1
are a pressure gauge and a new
carburetor. I
Seventeen hundred dollars has i
been spent on additional equip
ment since the truck was bought ,
/rom surplus material two months ,
ago at Cherry Point. The initial |
price was $904.54. -
Chief (farncr reported that 40 ,
percent of those expected to join
the Rural Fire Protection associ- ;
ation have done so. The associa- .
tion hopes to have 100 p?r cent |
of those eligible as members by |
fall of 1950. .
By an\agrcement with the Hur- ;
al Fire Protection association the ]
town will maintain the new truck, j
which will be used to fight both ;
rural and town fires. The new |
truck will be the one to go out of j ]
town on calls. i
It was put to use several weeks j
after purchase to fight a fire at ]
the home of W. !{. Skinner. Dam- ; ;
age amounted to $1,500. The fire 1 <
started because of a defective j ]
chimney. Chief Garner said.
Jimmie Gutlirie Presents His
Views on Shrimp Regulations ;
It seems that now is the time |
for shrimping in our waters to ffo
on strike. Sure enough, the bdard
of conservation and development
has called 'a meeting at Morehead
City to curb or call off the shrimp ,
fishing for some months in the'
year.
If people cannot catch shrimp.'
then' the Dye is cast, and the die is
cast also. The production is so
much greater than the demand, is
not a question of destruction of i
fish.
40 years ago I was to Hatteras
where trawlers infested the ocean
from inshore off shore with no
molestation. Schools of trout along
the betch all the time.
IS years ago I fished down there
with school; of fish and plenty of
triwlers. We caught plenty of big;
fish and so. did the Traw!. but j
whei we took our 300.030 yards of
little mesh net dowa there it west ?
dead in just ?iv? years. Sure the.
shrimp that is i m li ? here in the |
Channel Net is clean shrimp No I
fish wha(foevtr is caught there |
Our usual line of fish here is <
not destroyed hy trawls. Mack- i
errel, Blues, Mullets, spots, and 1
such like is not destroyed by i
trawls. Such as little pin fish. i
little stink-fingers that has no val- I
ue is usually taken. <
Any fish a trawl en sell >? not;
destroyed. We already have - a i <
closed season for shrimp. "Decern- j I
ber to April" is already.closed and i |
if the Board should close May. : !
June'. July. August, September. Oe
tober and November, then twelve i i
months would be closed <
Better let it alone, like it is i
For God sake, open up things for t
the people, don't close down. The 1
people must have a time to feed
themselves. You must not close i
our season. I

Delegations Make
Appeals to Board
Of Education
Two delegations appeared before
the county board of education at
the February meeting Tuesday af
ternoon in the office of the super
intendent of schools.
A colored delegation from the
Morehead City Parent-Teacher as
sociation asked the board if it were
possibie to obtain more money to
build two more rooms on the pres
ent eight-room school now under
Construction.
H. L. Joslyn, superintendent of
schools, told them that a total of
$108,000 will be invested in the
project by the time it is complet
ed and tnat more money is not
available tor the 10-room plan.
Seventy-eight thousand dollars
will ,40 to the genera, contractor,
leaving plumbing, heating, and
lighting to be paid from tne bal
ance, in addition to the purchase
price for the site.
Raymond Ball, chairman of the
Beaufort board of trustees, rJalsey
Paul, :?i:d Charles Hassell, mem
bers of the board, and T. G. L ;ary,
principal, asked that Beaufort's
needs be considered in the coun
ty s school building appropriation.
The county board told them
that they would receive considera
tion. but there was nothing in the
immediate future that could be
lone to aleviate the crowded con
ations at Beaufort school.
Mr. Joslyn reports that prog
ress on the lunchroom at Camp
Glenn is encouraging. It is not
known when the work will be fin
ished.
The next holiday for schools in

A new ihlmping ground has
been discovered off the Florid*
keys and shrimp fleets all along
the South Atlantic coast are
weighing anchor and heading for
the lucrative waters near Rebecca
shoals.
Part of the Morehead City fleet,
including the Malola and Captain
Mel are already underway, half
of the Southport fleet is making
for the Florida Keys, as well as
the Florida shrimping fleet and
boats from South Carolina, Geor
gia, Louisiana, and Texas.
In addition to the Mel and Malo
la. three other boats that were
fishing for Belhaven Fish and
Oyster company in Morehead City
are en route south. They are the
Chippewa. Penny, and Royal
Flush.
Belhaven Boats Leave
Four of Clyde Potter's Belhaven
deep sea trawlers arc on their
way ? the Bud and Doris. Ethel
Stowman. Sarah J., and Randolyn.
There is a possibility that the
exodus of a large number of trawl
ers from this area may mean a
shortage in fish coming into North
Carolina ports, thus increasing the
price of those that do reach mar
ket.
Distance to the new grounds
from here is estimated to be a
thousand miles. Shrimp are being
taken 300 miles south of the most
southern point where they have
been found in the past, and about
150 miles from Fort Myers in wa
ter from 20 to 25 fathoms.
1.0M Pounds a Day '
Boats average a thousand pounds
a day. and the count is 2ft to 30 a
pound headed, a nice "cocktail
size" shrimp which dealers sell
at port at an average of 55 cents
a pound.
W. A. Ellison. Jr., director of
the Institute of Fisheries Research,
stated that the shrimp is probably
the same species caught off this
coast, but it is a different color
and texture, pinkish and with a
hard body
rKUB| rrgDicrai
Boats arc operating out ?( Fart
Myers and other west coast sou
thern ports. Packing is reported
to be a problem because there are
few facilities in that area. Dock
ins space also is limited. Boats
setting out for the shrimping
grounds are advised to hang rub
ber tires all around the gunwales
because boats are literally bang
ing into each other.
It is believed that the shrimp
have always been in these waters
off the keys, but no boats had ever
discovered them. Active fishing
is reported to have started there
about two and a half weeks ago.
but the grounds had been found
prior to that time and a big effort
made to keep the discovery secret.
A Florida fishing boat license
is aproximately $6 for a boat of
average size, lit is charged for
out-of-state boats, plus $9 for each
man in the crew. It is estimated
that an out-of-state boat fishing
from Flordia ports would pay be
tween $40 and >30 in license fees
per year.

Fred Seeley Joins
'Kicking Club'
Fred R Seeley, chairman of the
county board of elections, is now
a member of the Self Kicking Club
of America. And Roy Eubanks,
Beaufort's photographer, was pres
ent at the initiation ceremony near
New Bern last Sunday to record
the event by camera.
Mr. Seeley said he felt he ought
to become a member ' because he
lost $450 by not applying for so
cial security benefits when he re
tired several years ago. Like
many other people, he didn't think
he was eligible.
"I thought I knew all about it,"
he remarks. "I was a member ot
itic state legislature when the act
was passed. I have been chairman
of the welfare board and I thought
I was certainly not eligible
"Finally, when I did look into
the matter at the request of the
local social security representative,
I found I had lost benefits from
the last half of 1946. through 1947,
1948. and part of 1949"'
So he and Mr. Eubanks made
the trip to Tom Haywood's service
station several miles east of New
Bern and the camera clicked while
Mr. Haywood operated the machine
that gives prospective members a
boot.
"I became a member in hopes
that other people learning of it
will not make the same mistake I
did." says Mr. Seeley.
