i- Governor (Continued from page one) of the state's rivers should be put to use, not only for development of electric power, but for recrea tional purposes, flood control, and for the purpose of conserving soil. "The conservation board should carry the responsibility in initiating a better rivers program," the chief of state directed. He asked that the board not let its work be hampered by conflicting philosophies on how projects should be carried out, rather they should pursue directly the course that benefits the major ity of the people of North Caro lina.

Director Ross was authorized to consult with the attorney general in working out reciprocal agree ments with other southern states as to shrimping in out-of-state waters. The former regulation prevent ing night shrimping was suspended until the spring meeting of the board, but Sunday shrimping pro hibitions were retained. Although the commercial fisheries committee did not complete its report this week, it recommended with ap proval of the board that the closed season for ?hipping clams in the ?hell i> e suspended until the next wjilir meeting. Old fishing regulations still in force were ,reapproved as a tech nicality in the plan to organize and print them. Report Made C. D. Kirkpatrick, law enforce ment administrator for the Di vision of Commercial Fisheries, re ported taxes and licenses brought $81,248.61 during the past fiscal year, an increase over the $69, 952.43 for the previous year. He said the shad run was the best in several years, the clam and crab production greater than ever before, an increase of around 20 per cent in food fish, and an in crease in the herring catch, but the menhaden catch was less than the preceding yeir.

George Rons, di rector of the board, reminded Lup ton that t ha federal courts have ruled that states do not have a right to keep trawlers out of inland waters. I.upton replied that if they come in, they should be taxed. Clayton Pulcher, jr., Atlantic, told the board that if they are in terested in conserving shrimp, the only way to do it is to close .small creeks in which the young shrimp live. Referring to an article in the Atlantic Fisherman. Ficher said that shrimp spawn in open waters, then move inland. While some of the larger ones return to open waters, the small ones remain in creeks and bays and in the spring double their weight in a period of three weeks. He contended that limiting ihe size of net mesh or setting the number of shrimp per pound will not conserve them Boats go into bays and rivers, taking shrimp; they keep the marketable size and throw the undersized shrimp over board, Rulcher said. Earl Holden, Vandemere, re quested that small creeks be closed because "that's where the small shrimp come from." Russell Swindell, representative of Hyde county, requested that night shrimping be prohibited on the basis that the small boats thaf trawl by day can't get any shrimp because other boats have taken taken them the night before. Dr. H. F. Prytherch, Beaufort, suggested that the board request federal funds for control of oyster pests, for experiments at the North River oyster farm, and suggested that Pacific and African species of shrimp be brought to these waters. Mart Fulcher, Snead's Ferry, and Bill Moore, Swansboro, asked the board's help in preventing the Marine corps and the Army corps of engineers from enlarging coastal water bombing targets. Eric W.
