Monday Morning The Greek freighter Costis Los sailed for Norfolk yesterday morn ing at about U o'clock after dis charging more than 4,000 tons of ammonium sulphate at the More head City port terminal. The freighter and its cargo were the largest ever to come to the state docks. The cargo of fertilizer material was consigned to the local port by the Allied Chemical and Dye com pany. It will be shipped from ware houses here to fertilizer plants in the Carolinas and the Mid-west. Port officials reported that the ship would have left early Monday rooming except for a miscalcula tion as to the probable completion hour which caused a stevedoring mix up. Since the first of March four commercial freighters have come to the port, three to discharge car goes and one to pick up tobacco. The three discharged cargoes were all composed of fertilizer materials such as potash and ammonium sul phate. Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock only the clean-up in one of the five holds of the ship remained to be finished and port officials, union officers and other skilled stevedores pitched in at various jobs to complete the job. By 10:30 the stevedores were through and at 11 o'clock the ship sailed. The ship owners were anxious to leave More head City as quickly as possible in order to pick up a cargo of coal in Norfolk lor delivery to Japan. The local pay-roll on the ship will total approximately $10,000. At the port work is nearing com pletion on the two tanks which will be used by the Dow Chemical company in its shipment of glycol from the Kinston plant making da cron to the DuPont company. The glycol will come to the port by rail from Kinston and be shipped by tankers from here to Texas for purification. State Names * New Engineers W. H.

Distress Signal > Change Reissued By Coast Guard On May 1 by international agreement radio frequency 2182 kilocycles became a world-wide dis tress and calling frequency for all water craft, the Coast Guard re minded all maritime interests this week. Captain J. D. Conway, acting commander of the Fifth Coast Guard district in Norfolk, reported this week that many boatmen and ship operators in the Morchcad City, Beaufort and Wilmington areas "have been unaware of the new distress frequency assign ment." In an effort to publicize the im portant change Capt. Conway said that further information was being sent through all public informa tion channels. The newly assigned frequency will be used for radiotelephone distress calls and distress traffic as well as lor urgency and safety signals and messages. It will also be the international frequency to be used for brief calls and replies, and for signals preparatory to talking on other frequencies within the band 1605 to 2850 kcs. Beginning on the first of May the Coast Guard has maintained a 24-hour radio watch on 2182 kcs in order to listen for distress calls from craft in need of assistance, though it was pointed out that calls to the Coast Guard on 2182 kcs are not necessarily limited to dis tress messages. The Coast Guard also continuous ly listens to 2670 kcs lor distress calls, but it is exclusively a Coast Guard frequency and only craft in distress or need of assistance may use it. All major Coast Guard operating units arc equipped to communicate on both 2132 and 2670 kcs. When in trouble and calling the Coast Guard boatmen are urged to state the name of their vessel, radio call letters, description of trouble, position, course, speed and type of assistance desired. Coast Guard operating units in the Fifth district including Vir ginia, North Carolina and Maryland which began a continuous watch Ion 2182 kcs in addition to 2670 kcs on May 1 include all vessels more than K25 feet in lengt^ when under way and the Coast Guard's radio station NMN at Oc. ana, Va., which is the control station for all Coast Guard units in the district. Units which will guard only 2182 kcs include the lifeboat stations at Fort Macon and Ocean City, Md. Continuing to guard only 2670 kcs will be the Coast Guard air station at Elizabeth City; and life boat station at Oregon Inlet, Oak Is land, Cape Hatteras, and Assa teague Beach, Va. Beaufort Police Make Four Arrests Chief Carlton Garner of the Beaufort police department reports that his department made four ar rests over the weekend, most of them for motor vehicle law viola tions.

Superior Court Judge Scores x Appeals from Recorder s Court Drainage Ditch Delays Collection of Garbage Wardell Fillingame, Iteaufort street foreman, says that he wish es to thank citizens of Beaufort for their patience with the gar bage collection during the latter part of last week.

Sanitarian Terms * School Successful A. I). Fulford, sanitarian for the county health department, says that Carteret county's first food handlers' school was a success. Mr. Fulford says that total at tendance at the school's six ses sions was 592, with 278 individuals attending one or more classes. The course was completed by 123 per sons, all of whom will receive cer tificates. According to Mr. Fulford, 63 of the county's 87 restaurants took part in the school, with 14 estab lishments having 100 per cent staff attendance. Twenty six managers will receive certificates for attend ing the entire course. Capt. Bill's Waterfront restau rant and the Sanitary Fish Market restaurant tied for the largest num ber of employees attending the school. Both had 23 employees in attendance. Mr. Fulford estimates that there are about 488 food handlers in the county and that about 190 did not attend the school. In addition to the 63 restaurants which took part in the school, all of the county's school lunch rooms were represented. -Several home economics teachers also attended the course. Fourteen persons not connected with any food serving establish- 1 mcnts also attended the school. For ' tin* most part, according to Mr. Fulford, these were recent high school graduates who hope to ob tain jobs in various restaurants. Several persons from outside the county attended the school, includ ing representatives of health, de partments in other counties. Among those attending the school u as a summer visitor from Albany, N. Y. A delicatessen op erator, she took advantage of the opportunity to attend the school while visiting Morehead City. Mr. Fulford says that those who do not receive their certificates within ten days should contact the county health office at the court house annex in Beaufort. He says that it is possible that some peo ple will be overlooked when the certificates are sent out. The food handlers' school was the first of its kind ever held in the county, although similar schools have been held annually in other counties in the state. The sanitarian said that it will be up to the restaurant managers and food handlers whether or not the Carteret county school becomes an annual affair. He said that, if those who attend ed the school feel that it has help ed them and want another school, the health department will make plans for another school next year. Fishermen Neglect Food Fish ; All Are Shrimping Farm, Home * Week Opetis ' The 1053 Farm and Home week opened last night in Raleigh with a speeial program honoring Chan cellor and Mrs. J. W. Harrelson of State college. Ruth Current, state home demon stration agent, led the tribute to Chancellor Harrelson, who has been very helpful to the extension service during his years at State college. The week's program will include lectures and demonstrations for both men and women. These will be based on the results of research performed by State college exten sion workers. The programs for the men will include lectures on soil condition ing. tobacco testing, cotton breed ing. control of plant diseases and information on various disease re sistant varieties of plants. Pro grams for women will include all phases of homcmaking. The lectures will begin this morning and will continue through tomorrow morning. The fiftieth anniversary of the agricultural extension service will be celebrated tomorrow afternoon with a special program. Earl J. Coke, assistant secretary of agri culture, will be the speaker at to morrow night's session. Thursday's session for men will be devoted to live stock and will be held at the state fair grounds. Lectures and demonstrations will cover feeding, control of diseases, marketing and breeding. The North Carolina federation of home demonstration clubs will hold its 27th annual meeting Thurs day morning and the state council will meet that afternoon. ? Food fish arc not as plentiful in seafood markets along coastal j North Carolina as they usually are and there is a big reason why they are not in good supply at the pres ent. I is not that there are fewer fish in the waters of the Atlantic or in the rivers, that dump their waters into the Atlantie, according to Garland Fulcher of Oriental, owner and operator of one of the largest fish houses along the coast, and others contacted by this re porter at various times this week. Mr. Fulcher and others are con vinced that the big reason for the scarcity of fresh ocean food fish is due to the fact that commercial fishermen are presently devoting most of their time and efforts to trawling for shrimp. Shrimp are bringing good priccs, they report. In fact, shrimp cleaned and with their heads off have brought up to 83 cents per pound in coastal markets here and elsewhere. The priccs fluctuate, of course, from time to time. The shrimp average 40 to 45 a pound. The shrimp fishermen have been especially busy since the Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment and its division of commer cial fisheries allowed day and night shimping to begin last May 11 fol lowing adoption of a resolution by the State Board of Conservation and development at its meeting in Elizabeth City in April. This resolution empowered the department to open the shrimp sea son a little ahead of the usual time for the shrimp season opening on recommendation of the Institute of Fisheries Research of the Uni versity of North Carolina at More head City. The shrimp season was opened for a period of 90 days or until the board takes further ac tion. A survey at a number of places along the coast indicates shrimp, especially the socallcd brown spot See FOOD FISH, Page 3 Merchants Announce Father of Year' Contesl A Morehcad City trading area search for "the Father of the Year" was launched today by a committee of distinguished citizens in preps ration for the local observance of Father's Day 1953. an event which will be celebrated all over the coun try on Sunday, June 21.
