its April decision of prohibiting
night shrimping in inside waters
under state jurisdiction. A delega
tion of shrimp fishermen ippeared
before the board Monday asking
the regulation be changed.
On motion of Dr. C. Sylvester
Green of Chapel Hill, head of the
board's parks committee, the board
approved a plan to ask the next
three sessions of the general as
sembly for I9.2S0.000 for perma
nent improvements of the state's
14 parks. The money would be
spent over a six-year period. Or.
Green said attendance at the state
parks for the fint six months of
this year increased 23 ^ per cent
over the same period last year.
Acting at the request of W. B.
Austin of Jefferson, chairman, ind
other members of its minerals re
sources committee, the board
pledged its support to a number of
local groups in western ?lorth
Carolina and the National Park
Service in establishment of a min
erals museum on the Blue Ridge
parkway.
The board averted a possible
fight by deferring until its Novem
ber meeting a proposal by W. I.uns
ford Long of Warrenluii, president
of the Tungsten Itinirg corpora
tion. for permission to explore
huge T ake Phelps for llemite and
associated minerals. The lake is a
part of state owned Pettigrew State
park in Washington and Tyrrell
counties.
Promised Fight
Charles H. Jenkins, board mem
ber from Ahoskie. told reporters
he was "prepared to fight the pro
posal vigorously" if it came before
the board. Long agreed to Dam
toft's proposal that action on the
matter be deferred until George R.
Boss, C and D director, and State
Geologist J. L. Stuckey could in
vestigate and report back to the
board next November. The matter
never was placed before the board
officially..
On motion of Fred P. Latham,
board member from Belhaven, ihe
board instructed C. D. Kirkpatrick,
state fisheries commissioner, to en
force the law regarding oystering
in closed oyster beds. Violators
will be penalized upon conviction
by losing their permits for a year.
It also ruled that no dredge weigh
ing more than 100 pounds may be
used by small boats under 25 feet
in length and that boats over 25
feet cannot use dredges for oyster
ing in excess of 165 pounds.
The board heard a report from
Kirkpatrick on a survey being
made by the Institute of Govern
ment with a view to asking the
1953 general assenrfbly to restore
the dealers' severance tax op
shrimp, clams, escallops and crabs.
The tax, repealed by the 1951 gen
eral assembly, has dented the fish
eries receipts by about $30,000 a
year, Kirkpatrick said. Action will
probably be taken on the severance
tax at the board's November meet
ing.
Aubrey Cavenaugh of Warsaw,
chairman of the board's water re
sources committee, told the board
that his group plans another meet
ing after receipt of the report and
recommendations of Bert Robb, di
rector of the Michigan State Water
ways commission, with regard to
further development and use of the
state's numerous inland ports and
waterways. Robb made a three
day inspection of several inland
ports last week and reported in
formally to the board at its Mon
day's session. Robb proposed that
the state spend $7 million in de
veloping its inland ports and water
ways and said that if the state will
repeal its law regarding rebates to
boatmen using its waters the $7,

equipipent room at the Beaufort
gym Wednesday night. The Jayceei
agreed at their meeting Monday
night at the Inlet inn, Beaufort, to
finish outfitting l football equip
ment room, including repair of
the roof.
Wiley Taylor, jr., president of
the Jaycees. said yesterday that
the county board of education will
furnish the materials.
Reports of standing committees
were heard Monday night. The
committee working on construction
of a concrete block fence around
the football field is drawing up an
advertising schedule tor the fence
and as soon as it is approved, sell
ing of ad space will begin.
The president said he had writ
ten the chief of real property

town's taking a revocable lease on
the post office dock. As yet no
reply has been received.
The Jaycees football committee
reports that the fall schedule is
complete with the execptfon of one

game Sept. IB. If that date is not
filled, the first game of the sea
son will be Sept. 26.

000,000 indebtedness for ports im
provements can be wiped out in
15 years on basis of the present re
bates to boatmen. Cavenaugh said
he plans toehold a hearing "for .ill
those interested" in inland ports
developments.
Request Denied
The board turned down a request
of the Webb Memorial Presby
terian church and other Morehead
City interests that it sell or lease
portions of the 18 acres of land
owned by the board.
"We recognize that the sale or
lease of any portion of this proper
ty would unequivocally jeopardize
the state's future development."
the board said in a statement
placed in its records. "Our man
date of stewardship does not eoun
tcnance such jeopardy."
In addition to the church folk,
a group representing an outdoor
theatre wanted some of the state
owned land. However, the board
said it has no objection to use of
the property for purely local non
profit activities such as an athletic
field for the Morehead City high
school.
The board heard a report from
Frank Brandt, landscape engineer
for the State Highway commission,
on development of the system of
roadside parks and picnic stands as
was first originated by the board
two years ago. The number of
Voadside picnic tables, Brandt oaid,
increased by 117 during the past
fiscal year.
Its busy three days at an end,
tbe board adjourned to meet in
Raleigh next November.

ments on the fisheries for the first

to 15-day longer season. Season

as well as production.
Crabs: The crab season was
slightly later than last year, but
the quality of crabs at the present
time is better than last year.

greater quantities and are in pro
duction in a greater area; eacal
lops are now found all the way
along the outer banks to Hatteras.
Food fish: The production of
food fish was slightly better this
year than last year, due to the
catch of croakers on the outside.
The shad season was the best in
a number of years, Jx>th as to
quantity and quality, roe shad run
ning from four to six pounds.
Menhaden: The menhaden sea
son was largely in the fall, increase

A man came into our store the other day with an empty pre

when we said we couldn't do it without the doctor's approval.
He didn't realize that taking drugs without his doctor's orders
is serious business ? for him, for his doctor and for us, too. After
all, the doctor knows what's wrong and how to treat it ? and
how to keep his patient alive.
When the government will not allow even a liquor bottle to be
