L. (Tony) Seamon of More head City, and Sen. S. M. Capon of Alliance will attend a meeting of the Atlantic States Marine Fish eries commission Thursday and Friday at the Roosevelt hotel, New York City. Attending the meeting from this area also will be members of the United States Fish and Wildlife staff, Beaufort. They are Dr. C. E. Atkinson, chief, middle and South Atlantic fishery investiga tions, G. B. Talbot and James E. Mason. From New York Talbot will con tinue to Rochester for the Ameri can Fisheries Society conference Sept. 13 and 14. He will be joined by R. A. Fredin and Charles Wal burg, both of the Fish and Wild life station, Beaufort. Delegates from Virginia, Mary land, and North Carolina will dis cuss joint regulation of fishing off their coasts. Charles M. Lankford, jr., state fisheries commissioner of Virginia, said the commission had for some time been studying the problem of shrimp trawlers pulling up and destroying 'small fish. He said he had asked the Atlan tic States Marine Fish commission to set up a meeting of Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina offi cials to discuss the matter in con junction with the ASMFC meeting in New York. Lankford said the discussion would be "purely exploratory" and he had no specific regulations to present to the group at that time. Mrs. Tony Seamon will accom pany her husband to New York where they will spend a 10-day va cation. Although Seamon and Capen are the North Carolina dele gates on the commission, Seamon having been appointed by the gov ernor and Capen by the 1951 legis lature, there is a possibility that George Ross, director of the State Board of Conservation and De velopment, will attend also. New Type Dimker Trains Pilots Cherry Point, N. C.? An entire ly new type of cry was heard vi brating throughout the area of the combat swimming pool at the Ma rine Corps Air Station recently. Cause of the weird screams was the demonstration of the Dilbert Dunker Ditching trainer. The de vice. designed to acquaint piloti with the proper procedure of ditch ing their plane in the event of a crash at sea, is the latest addition to the training equipment at the air station. Resembling a roller coaster in an amusement park, the "Dunker" is constructed in the form of a cockpit, mounted on a movable platform, perched about 19 feet from the water. When a brake is released, the pilot, strapped in the cockpit, surges forward along 25 foot rails and strikes the water at 25 miles an hour. Just as the cockpit is entering the water, a latch engages the rear wheels and a towchain catches the underside of the nose, causing the "Dunker" to snap back in the air, flip over and plunge up-side down into the water. The pilot then releases his safety belt, slips out from the bottom and floats to the surface. F. J. Conlon, representing the Austin Company, manufacturers the device, conducted the demon stration. Conlon was aided by Sgt T. R. Wagner, Cherry Point's ace swimmer and other volunteers who acted as the pilot. Silimar devices have been in stalled at the Naval Air stations at Pensacola. Florida and AnnapolU, Maryland. It is planned to include this type of training on several other aid stations as a permanent part of the pilot's course of in structions. MPW Clfab Traunru- Asks Faymtnl of 1951*52 Dms Mrs. D. F. Merrill, treasurer of the Carteret Business and Profes sional Women's club, stated yester day that all club members must pay their dues for the current year to her no later than Tuesday, Sept 18. Mrs. Merrill stated that a record of all new members must be in the hands of the s*"1* treasurer no later than Sept 20. . ? "What this country should do Is to send all our young men and women over to the old country, so they could see how well olf our country is and realize how lucky they are to be Americans." This is the opinion of John Me makis, who returned to Morehead City Aug. 29 from an extended tour of Greeoe, Turkey, and Italy. Greece, he said, is suffering from numerous wounds. First there was the damage of the German occupa tion during World War 11; follow ing that came three years of civil war. Now, Memakis stated, Greece smarts from the hatreds wrought by the civil war and an inflation which seems to grow worse daily. Memakis, proprietor of the Busy Bee restaurant on Arendell St., left Morehead City April 12 with Mrs. Memakis, their two daughters, Thelma and Mrs. Nicholas Galantis, and granddaughter, Koulla Johnisc Galantis. The family sailed out of New York harbor April 22 on the lux urious American liner Independ ence The next week they landed in Piraeus, the port of Athens, Greecc, on the Aegean Sea. Inflation Takes Toll They found their countrymen up to their ears in inflation problems. The unit of money, the drachma, used to be worth 1.3 cents (1928). Today, Memakis revealed, it takes 15,000 drachmas to equal one American dollar. The average Greek citizen, he continued, makes about $1.25 a day. On such a meager salary, they have a hard enough time trying to buy food, let alone thinking about get ting new clothing; luxuries are just unthinkable. "Black bread is the fare for the Greeks," Memakis reported. "In Turkey and Italy we got some tasty white bread, but not so in Greecc." The civil war, he disclosed, has caused much hatred within fami lies who found themselves divided politically and fighting on opposite sides. It will take decades for such memories to be forgotten, he said. Visit AcropoH* In Athens Memakis and his fam ily visited the Acropolis on which still stands the ruined Parthenon, a temple to the ancient Greek god dess. Athena. Memakis said it was the most inspiring sight on the trip. The group made many side trips. One was to Cavalla where they saw a great religious festival held in the memory of St. Paul's imprison ment in nearby Philippi. From Greece, Memakis and his family journeyed to Istanbul where they saw the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox church, Athena garas. The patriarch told Memakis that his thoughts and prayers were with him and his fellow Americans always.

Geer, jr., Jimmy Wallace, and Ralph Gard ner made a report on the firat quarterly board meeting to the Jay cees last Monday at Capt. Bill's cafe. The meeting was held in Rocky Moyn? last weekend. President Jimmy Wallace urged that Marehead City send larger delegations to future Jaycee con ventions. Wallace also announced receipt ,of a check from Volney Felt Mills for the scrap paper the club collected in its August drive. Walter Morris proposed that this week's meeting be postponed until tonight because of Monday being Labor Day. The motion carried.

Second Marine Air Wing, and Aircraft, Fleet Ma rine Force, Atlantic at the Marine Corps Air Station here is $75 rich er this week because he sat down one day and wrote an article about his experiences in Korea. The $75 came from Skyways Magazine, which is publishing Cap tain Oliver's article, "Night Strike," in its October issue. "It's just a story about a strike ? what went on," the Captain said. He wrote the article in Korea, turned it over to his units public information office, which then for warded it to Washington for place ment in X magazine, in accordance with the regular Marine Corps plan for assisting anyone who de sires to publish an articlc. Captain Oliver, of 223 Church well avenue, Knoxville, Tenn., is living with his wife and two chil dren, Susan, 6, and Steve, 4, at Newport. Disease Attacks Ladino Clover R. M. Williams, county {arm agent, remarked today that several county farmers have been inquir ing recently about a disease of la dino clover. The farm agent reported, "Most ladino pastures which I have ob served ?re affected with what is known as pepper spot disease. Where ladino fields are affected with this disease, one may observe the leaves covered with numerous tiny brown spots. Where affected pastures are clipped or grazed be fore a heavy lossagc of foliage or curs no great damage rorfclta." He added, "Due to pressing dit ties of farm work of various types, many pastures are being greatly damaged at this time as a result of heavy weed infestation. Improved pastures cannot be expected to re turn the greatest yields when al lowed to compete with weeds. Pas tures should be mowed several times during the year. The time spent on this operation will pay good dividends. "Improved pastures which have already been established should be fertilized once each year cither in the fall or spring. Six to eight hundred pounds of either 0-14-14 or 0-9-27 fertilizer mixture should be used per acre. "Farmers who intend to seed pastures this fall should be pre paring their seed bed by turning under all vegetation. All organic materials should be decayed and the fields leveled off and firm at the time of seeding. Soil samples should be taken and sent into the Soil Testing Division in Raleigh, for analysis and lime applied just as soon as possible if needed. "Our livestock program in Car teret and other Eastern North Carolina counties cannot expand any more rapid than we expand our feed program," he concluded. Barring an air attack by Russia, which the majority of' kids deem the most likely thing to stop opening of the 1951-52 school term, Carteret county schools will open Thursday morning. Enrollment is expected to be equal to last year's, if not .lightly more. H. L. Joslvn. county* superintendent of schools, stated that enrollment in the eastern part )f the county will remain about ;he same, but there will be a slight increase in the western section. Opening exercises at most of the schools will take place in the school auditorium. Although there will 3e only half-day sessions Thursday, full day sessions are expected Fri lay, but at certain schools there s a possibility that Friday's ses sion will be just a half day also. Book Fees The book rental fee for high school students has increased from &3 to $3.60 this year. Fees for the ower grades are as follows: 1 and 2, 50 cents; 3, 4, and 5, 60 cents; 5. 7. and 8th grades. 70 cents.

Insurance, See SCHOOLS, Page 2 Tide Water President Denies Rumors of Company9 s Sale \J Warren W. Bell, president of Tide Water Power Co., Wilmington, today scotched persistent rumors that Tide Water would be ?old to Carolina Power and Light co. "We have no intention of telling Tide Water," Bell declared. "Cer tainly Tide Water would be an at tractive acquisition for any power company. During recent years we have taken a power company that none of our neighbors wanted and built it into a substantial operation in an area that show* more future promise than any other spot I can think of in the east" Bell explained that In addition to the exceptionally bright indus trial and commercial prospects for the company's service area, he feels _ a strong responsibility to the more than 500 men and women who hsve worked hard to further Tide Water's growth in rwent yean. "These men and women have a stake in the future of Tide Water," he said. "They are entitled to share ia the prosperity they help to build. We want nothing to in terfere with their chances for ad vancement as the company grows and we want to prewne for Wil mington and other communities the payrolls that Tide Water pro vides. Definitely Tide Water is not for sale." Bell also stated that plana for ,#L (instruction of a $23,000,000 gen erating plant at Wilmington have >een temporarily postponed. Construction material shortages ind previous power contract com nitments were given as the reasons or postponement. "Anticipated modifications of our wwer purchase contract with Car >lina Power i Light company, vhich runs until 1939. have not wen completed." said Bell. "In liscussions with that company we ind that it has purchased consider ible extra equipment and made a iubstantial investment in order to ustain its part of our contract.

This is part of a long range program which the Fish and Wildlife Service has been conduct ing since late 1949. Oil affects fish three ways, re marks G. B. Talbot, senior biologist who is in charge of the shad project: first, it spreads over the surface of the water in a thin film. This film prevents oxygen from passing into the water. Thus oil cuts down the water's oxygen con tent. Second, oil emulsifies or breaks up into microscopic particles in the water. These adhere to bits of floating sand and sink to the bot tom. In this way the fish eats a certain amount of the petroleum. Third, the emulsified oil leaches out volatile acids which permeate the water and are injurious to fish and their eggs. Talbot's problem is to determine the tolerance shad have for pe troleum and how well they can live on a reduced supply of oxygen. His guinea pigs are 140 two-inch shad which he recently hauled in from the Neusc river. He said, however, that the ex periments cannot begin until the baby shad become acclimated to their new home? a freshwater aquarium in the laboratory. "The move from the river here," Talbot added, "caused many of the shad to die, so we don't want to begin the tests until we're sure those still living are healthy." The shad research project is im portant, for in the last 50 years that variety of fish bait decreased Uemendoubi} in bijj AwontU coast rivers. Two Countiaos Get Assignments Pfc. Otis R.

C, ? (AP) ? Blind people get sceing-eye dogs to guide j them about hut a blind dog here has recruited a secing-cye cat. Penny, an eight year old Eskimo Spitz owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Cothran. has been blind seven years. Formerly, the Cothran's maid took care of him. The maid died a few months ago and Inky, the Cothrans' 18 months old black Persian kitty became Penny's eyes. Inky leads Penny about the premises, shows him to his food. J and occasionally takes him on jaunts through the woods near the house. It was after several of these ? t strolls that the Cothrans first real ized what Inky was doing. They reasoned that Penny never could have made it through the woods and back by scent alone. Occasionally, the two animals argue over their food but it usual ly is short lived. Inky is inclined to let Penny have his way and, in fact, treats him with un-catlikc and touching gentleness. Towards other dogs, however, Inky has a normally antagonistic attitude especially those who try to bother Penny. Several of them have found out to their dismay that Inky is serious about this see ingeyc cat business and truly de voted to his blind friend. C. D. Kirkpairick Takes' Oaih as Fishery Official C. I).
