All outaide woodwork aod iron work haa been painted and new doon have been placed at the front aat tide entrances. The work wn attrtcd two woeki ago Yummy Fish Stand Little Chance With Spearmen J Captain Munro, left, and Major Bolt, right, flank their Fourth of July 56-pound sheephead catch. Captain Munro holds his spear gun. Feet flippers can be seen on Major Bolt. The masks parked on their heads are pulled over the face right before diving. Two enthusiastic underwater fishermen, Capt, R. J. Munro and Maj. J. F. Bolt of Cherry Point, will trade a hook and line for a spear-gun any day. When they can bring in 56 pounds of fish in sev eral hours as they did the morning of July 4. more than one angler should be inclined to listen to them. Both men have spearfished in Florida waters and vow that (He North Carolina fish population den sity is much greater than farther south. "People arc making a big mistake here by ignoring spear fishing," exclaims Captain Munro. Equipped with rubber feet flip pers, a glass and rubber face plate, and armed with spear guns, the two dive 10 to 20 feet below the surface, find their quarry, release the trigger and nine times out of ten rise to the surface with a prize sheephead. To get a good idea of the manner in which the two Marine officers ?operate under water, Major Bolt suggestes that folks go to see the movie, "The Frog Men," the story of the Navy's underwater demo lition teams. Captain Munro and Major Bolt's spear guns arc home-made #con traptions made of stainless steel, wood, string and heavy surgical rubber bands, which provide the driving force to shoot the spear forward into the fish. The spear is actually just a small pointed piece of metal attached to the end of a wire which in turn is attached to a shaft. When the shaft is secured in the housing the gun is 5 feet long. After the trigger is pulled the weapon meas ures 10 feet. Captain Munro has experiment ed with several types of spears and finds that the single point is bet ter than a barbed tip. "Barbs tear the fish up too much," he explains. The spear fishermen add that conditions and tides must be right, and they watch those just as close ly as any expert hook and liner. In addition to the 56 pounds of shcephead speared at Shackleford banks, Captain Munro one day caught an 8-pound sheephead under the Beaufort brldfr. At another tiae four dtvfi netted four fish. The Marine corps officers swear that nothing can beat going right down in the water after the fish ? it's a sport filled with thriUs and the end results are good eat ing!

Mr. and Mrs. George Smith, pro prietors of the Sombrero restau rant, Atlantic Beach, did just that. Their purchase was Just as brown as any normally colored bag of groceries, so they nonchalantly placed it on the back seat of their big Olds, put a pillow under its bead and drove home. With them In the front seat was a friend. Mrs. W. H. Reynolds who averred that brown or no brown she wasn't go ing to sit in the back aeat with that bag of meat.

Rotarians Hear i Marine Scientist Marine animals and fish, partic ularly the porpoise and the whale, were discussed Tuesday by Dr. Henry Kritzler of the Duke Marine laboratory, Pivers Island. He de scribed interesting facts of the un derwater world to Beaufort Ro ?tarians at the Inlet inn. Emphasizing that the porpoise is animal instead of fish, Dr. Kritzler, former Florida Marineland expert, rated the ponderous, blunt-nose animal's intelligence between the dog and the chimpanzee. In fact, said Dr. Kritzler, the porpoise is slightly more intelligent than the dog. The scientist also played two supersonic records of undersea sounds that distinctly proved that all is not quiet under the waves. The exact opposite being true ? noise caused by the marine ani mals and fish causing almost as much sound as a submarine.

Darkened clouds hung, in the north yesterday after noon, hut whether they held rain or were merely darken ea Dy smoicc irom numerous I or est i fires remained a question. Fire fighters throughout the county, under the direction of Warden E. M. Foreman, battled a stubborn blaze in the pocosin at Long Bay as well as repeated out breaks of flame near Wildwood between highways 24 and 70. Crops WIU R. M. Williams, farm agent, re ported yesterday that the dry ..pell, going on three weeks, is forming one of the most serious threats to crops in many a season. Tobacco, oorn, hay. peanuts, and tomatoes are failing to hold their own in the face of the relentless heat. Flames, urged on by 1 light southwest wind, sped through woodsland on the north side of highway 24 yesterday afternoon, opposite Camp Morehead. The Morehead City fire depart mcnt was called at 1 p.m. to protect camp property.

Sm;ill homes stand in islands of green, proteeted only by homeowners who kept the flames elear. Even in the burned-over areas, there was evidence yesterday that fire would break out again.

George Stovall, manager of Tide Water Power co.. reported yester day that power poles at the beach are caked with salt on the south west side. Several cross arms have burned out due to the salt and in other areas throughout the county poles have been damaged by fire and lack of rain. Temperatures since July 3 fol low: The fire warden urges that no fields be set afire and that trash fires be carefully watched because everything is so dry that once a fire starts it is practically impos sible to put it out.

The dis pute was settled late Monday but only after one North Carolina shrimp operator was attacked and lives of public officials threaten ed. The price-cutting war ended when Louis Simmons, president of the Gulf Coast Shrimpers and Oys termen's association (American Federation of Labor), announced that out-of-state fishermen had joined his union and agreed to work under its rules and prices. Gov. Kidding Wright threaten ed Monday to call out "all the Na tional Guardsmen in the state" if necessary to combat violence in the shrimpers' war that for sever al days paralyzed the Gulf coast shellfish industry.

Operators estimated 4,000 to 5, 000 fishermen, pickers, canncrs, and other processors were idled as Mississippi boatmen swarmed a shore Monday and closed plants here and at other Mississippi Gulf coast ports. The union did not call a formal strike but the shrimpers banded together to close the plants because they were being undersold.
