The cargo has been consigned to fertilizer plants in eastern North Carolina. This will mark the second com mercial vessel to discharge a cargo at the port terminal since its open ing last August. The SS Carl Finer, another German ship, arrived at the docks Sunday, March 1. The earlier ship brought a cargo of muriate of potash for fertilizer plants in the eastern part of the state. Port officials are hoping that the two ship arrivals will promote a new pattern of harbor development which will prove of significance to the state's agricultural areas as well as the coastal ports. The Morehead City terminal has had a brisk petroleum products traffic and heavy cargo and per sonnel movement during Marine Corps maneuvers in the past Spe cial interest, however, has been centered on the import of agricul tural commodities, and the dock ing of the German ships begins what leaders hope will develop into a two-way traffic of agricultural commodities.

When the work is completed, the company will become the second on the Beaufort waterfront with ac cess to the rear of the building from the street. At the present time, only the Standard Oil com pany ha* *jcb access. Mr. Barbour said that the added space will make it possible to have a freight entrance at the side or tlie rear of the building.

Millington recently assumed com mand of Marine Aircraft Group-24 of the Second Marine Aircraft Wing, Cherry Point. The Colonel, with 18 years of ex perience, accepted command of the group from an old South Pacific friend, Col. E. W. Johnston, who took over new duties as Assistant Chief of Staff, G-4, of the Air Sta tion here. Colonel Millington served a tour of duty during World War II aboard the aircraft carrier USS Essex with a task force. A lieu tenant colonel at that time, he was commander of the two Marine squadrons aboard the carrier. Before the Iwo Jima amphibious .landing, the colonel's squadron's were ordered on the important mis sion of bombing the Japanese main land and Tokyo itself. On February 15, 1945, Colonel Millington led the first Marines ever to see Japan from the air in wartime. He recalls that they found air opposition very light over the Japanese mainland. Only four Corsair pilots shot down planes on this early strike. Another two of calinfl's pilot's found ?nd destroyed a convoy off the coast of Honshu. Colonel Millington helped malte more Marine, aviation history three days later when he led a combined Corsair and Hellcat fighter-bomber run over Iwo Jima to establish another first.

McGce, then commander of the landihg force air support control unit, now a brigadier general who formerly commanded the Air Sta tion here. Colonel Millington re ceived word from Colonel McGee to "go in and acrape your bellies on the beach."

V Beach Erosion Control Project At Fort Macon Is Completed Water erosion it historic Fort Macon has once more been stopped, state engineers reported this week. - At a coat of approximately $22, 000, W. H. Riley, engineer who sup ervised the project, said the erosion control project has been completed. Mr. Riley is head of the water re sources division of the Department of Conservation and Development. Eroislon at the eastern end of the fort area had advanced last summer to the point that it had practically destroyed the public sanitary fa cilities and was endangering other sections of the beach, Mr. Riley said. After viewing the erosion George R. Ross, director of the Conservation and Development, re quested an emergency appropria tion from the state with which to construct a new breakwater and re pair and strengthen the existing Jetties. The Governor and council of state last fall approved the spending of H4.200 from the con tingency and emergency fund for the projects. New sanitary facili ties for the public were included in the plana. Principal addition to the barriers between the fort and the sea is a flOO-fort new breakwater. Repairs were made to the three jetties at the eastern approach to the fort. The main jetty Is of concrete and was constructed in ISM. Data* at construction of the other two are unknown. The tort, the third to be erected in this coastal area since colonial days, was begun in 1825 as a link in the nation's coastal defense. After a fiercely fought battle in 1862, its Confederate defenders surrender ed it to attacking Union forces. It was ceded to the state in 1924 by Congress for use as a public park. Fort Macon was used by the coastal artillery during a part of the Second World War It is now part of the state parks. Thousands of sightseers annually visit the fort and many use the neighboring beach for surf bathing and other types of recreation. Thomas W. Morse, superinten dent of state parka, said the job of building a brick structure near the fort to houae public comfort sta tions and a water system Is now about >0 percent complete.
