Completion of what is believed to be the largest single seed oyster planting project ever before attempted in Brunswick county was announced today by George R. Ross, m director of the state department of conschnftlon and development. Ross said that 3.968 bushel tubs of seed oysters were planted in public-owned bottoms in the Shal lotte river area. The job of gather ing and planting of the seed oys ters was supervised by R. II. Leon ard, a Shallotte oysterman, under the direction of the commercial fisheries division of the department of conservation and development, and the Institute of Fisheries Re search, Morehead City. The oysters were gathered and planted at a cost of 33 'i cents per bushel tub to the department. The need for additional oyster bottoms in Brunswick county has long been felt, Ross said, and legis lation enablnig the department of conservation and development to plant seed oysters in that county was passed by the 1951 state gen eral assembly following its intro duction by Representative Harry L. Mintz, jr., of Brunswick county. Under the Mintz act, none of the oysters planted in the Shal lotte river area can be harvested during the next three years, or until the oysters reach maturity. Persons caught and convicted of invading tlie beds in which the new oysters have been planted will be subject to fine and imprisonment under State oyster protective laws. The Brunswick project, Ross said, lis part of the general pro gram undertaken by the depart ment of conservation and develop ment to rehabilitate the oyster, clam, scallop, and other bivalve resources in the waters of eastern North Carolina under terms of leg islation passed by the 1947 general assembly and by subsequent ses sions of that body. That the rehabilitation program is proving to be a success is shown by the fact that during the current oyster season there have been more and better oysters produced in North Carolina bottom lands and oystermen have been getting an average of more than $1 per bush el tub above prices paid during the 1950-51. season, according to re ports being received by Ross from C. D. Kirkpatrick. state fisheries commissioner, Morehead City.

Historian Finds Post Cemetery J At Fort Macon M. F. Perry, historian at Fort Macon, is confident that he has discovered the post cemetery of the fort. The cemetery was recorded in documents on the fort but it was not known where it was located. With the assistance of a former employee at the state park, who had remembered that someone had "found a cemetery" near there about three years ago, the his torian located the burial ground on the sound side of the state park among dense cedar trees and vines. It is approximately a half mile west of the fort itself. The only thing visible there is a headstone bearing the inscription, "Sacred to the Memory of Mary Jane Stewart, Born Oct. 24th, 1848, age 7 days." Perry said that he has learned that the child was the daughter of Sgt. Peter D. Stewart, ordnance sergeant, who was stationed at the fort and lived there with his fam ily. One other rotted wooden marker Jesignaterf another grave, bnt no? inscription is visible. Also found4: on top of the ground was an in fant's wooden coffin about 3 feet long, with six sides, being 1 foot wide at the widest part. Nothing ; whatever was in ?the coffin when he found it, Perry said. Even the top was off. He is confident that there are more graves in the vicinity and ex pects to locate them by probing. Since his coming here about six weeks ago, Perry has obtained from residents of the area relics of days when the fort was garrisoned and has also arranged exhibits which will be on display in the fort this summer. j V ABC Officer Arrests Three On Whiskey-Carrying Count Marshall Ayscue, county ABC officer, arrested at 10:30 yesterday morning three persons in a 1950 four-door sedan.

Western Union j Strike Continues Morehead City, Beaufort Telegraph Offices Re main Closed A 10-day-old Western Union strike is still in progress and has idled 30,000 AFL commercial teleg raphers. who punch out telegrams for Western Onion in 2,000 cities and towns. Wages are at the bottom of the dispute. Small office personnel, forced out because of the strikes in major telegraph centers, are without pay and some are speaking of finding new employment unless the strike is settled soon. Local Offices Still Out The offices in Morehead City and Beaufort are still closed but the of fice in Wilmington opened Thurs day with supervisory employees. Striking workers immediately or ganized picket lines. The Wilming ton manager, A. R. Gallup, said that messages are being accepted for delivery in larger cities. Mediation talks broke down Tuesday and both sides dug in for a long strike. The union's leaders in Washington said they were ready to sit out for six or eight weeks or even longer. Union's Demands The CTU is demanding wage and other benefits worth an estimated 50 cents an hour per telegrapher. Western Union has called its i present wage of about $1.80 an hour "very fair" and has refused Jo increase it. Since the telegraph strike began, an added load has been placed on the nation's telephone service. Although the telephone strikes endangered communications even further, the general public hardly has noticed it. Dial phones work ^retty much by themselves unless long neglected. Some long distance service has been slowed, although supervisory telephone employees took up part of the slack in the four mid western states where operators struck. ar ? - j New Homes Ready Soon for Tenants j Certain units in Hancock Village, near Cherry Point, will become available for occupancy by officers and their families by about May 1.
