Substitute Hired ! Also, he said, some ol them al leged that he did not return from his lishing business on time to go to work at 4 p m. each day. This was partially true, he said, but to take care of any such instances h< had hired a substitute policeman to be at work promptly at 4 pin on days when he (Fulchei) could not show up on tune This step was taken to be ceitain that the town had a police otticer on duty when o'ie was needed, ho explained, but nevertheless his sub stitute had worked only seven hours since May 1 The lest o the time, he said, he had been at work on time No Specific Charges As to the charges that he solici ted business while on police ilut>. otticer Fulcher said no specific charge had been made but just general statements.

Sylvester Green, executive, vice-president of the Medical Foun dation ol North Carolina, and for mer Rotary president, spoke on "The Naivete of Rotary" Tuesday night when Beaufort Rotarians en tertained their wives at a dinner meeting at the Inlet inn. Dr. Green's talk hinged on a re mark once made to him by some one who termed Rotarians "naive.'' The speaker said he didn't know whether the remark was a compli ment or insult, but after looking into the matter, he found that es sentially. the word "naive" means "artful, "unaffected simplicity," "unsophisticated." He cited the high beliefs of Rotarians, their high ideals, and concludcd that each man should therefore be proud t?be numbered among "naive Rotarians." Dr. Ennett Presides ? Dr. N.

Jointly ? Sponsored Reseat ch work will be carried on under tlie joint auspiccs of the Uni ted State Fish ?*r??l Wildlife Ser I vice and the \tomic Energy ('om mission, Dr Chipman stated This will Ire done since the research work will serve two functions; to study the accumulation ol radioac tive materials in marine mverte brates and to study food chains in lower animals and ti: lies Actually, the study ot accumu lation of radioactive materials in marine invertebrates is a study ot fission products in such mverte i brates as a result of marine nollu tion from atomic warfare and Ih^ manufacture of materials lrom r id inactive substances Or. Chipman explained. This research will be carried 011 for the Atomic Energy commission in order that steps may be taken to counteract such pollution in time of war or in ord er for substitutes to be found for such contaminated foods The other part of the radioiso tope investigative work, studying food chains in lower animals and fishes, is carried on purely from the j scientific view point of discov ering more and more about the life and development ot these an imals, Dr Chipman commented. This study of food chains con sists of research into what toods each marine animil uses starting with the most minute forms of life and working up to the standard si zes the average fisherman is fa miliar with. The study will attempt to determine what eftect each food has on Ihe animal consuming it and 01 the animal's various or ganisms. The laboratory, when completed, will be one of the best equipped ( and afranged in the South and wilt outstrip most similar Umveisity lab- 1 oratories, the research chief claims I He says the most modern equip j ment is being installed in quan tities sufficient to allow every tech nician to give full vent to his sci- 1 entitle will. Precautions Taken Each worker in the lab will be completely .protected against the ' effects of radioactivity. Special I laboratory garments will be worn, chemical and mechanical indicat ors will be worn by the scientists to register the amount ot radioactivity i striking his body while working j and a shower and clothing change room has been installed so that 1 the scientist leaving his day's work I can clear himself of all radioar- , tive substances before departing- !
