Oceanographers Study Gulf Stream Currents x A group of scientists working^ out of Morehead City hope to" prove that changes In the currents of the gulf stream are caused by tides in the Gulf of Mexico. The four scientists, headed by Bill von Aux, are from the Woods Hole Oceanographic institution. Woods Hole, Mass. They are work ing aboard the institution's 97-foot yawl, Caryn. Working with the latest in scien tific equipment, the group works back and forth across the gulf stream, measuring water tempera ture, salinity, depth and the speed of the current. The men say that, contrary "to popular opinion, the gulf stream is not a steady, evenly flowing cur rent. Instead it pulses and changes speed frequently. Mr. von Aux hopes to prove that these pulsa tions are caused by changes in the tides in the Gulf of Mexico. The stream not only changes the speed of its current, it also changes location. The edges move, and the line of maximum current may vary as much as 20 miles although most See GULF STREAM, Pace 7 Wheat Acreage K Deadline Nears B. J.

Capt. Harvey H. Heeker, 75, left New Port Richey May 15 to travel to Ohio in 15-foot-seven-inch home made boat powered with a ten horsepower O' ioard motor. The long boat trip is nothing new to Captain Hec<er, who says that he cannot swim a stroke. He left Sandusky last November and sailed down the Mississippi and through the Gulf of Mexico to reach the Florida town - in which he spent the winter. After the wui - trip along the Mississippi, the cap., expects lit tle difficulty on his tri. 'nig the intracoastal waterway, the iiudson river, the Erie canal and Lake Erie. He hopes to reach Sandusky in the latter part of July. Captain Heeker, a veteran of the Spanish-American war and World War I, says that he decided upon the long trip when time began to hang heavy on his hands at the Ohio Soldier's and Sailor's Home where he lives. He ordered a boat kit and con structed his little craft in about two months. When he had fin ished the boat, he took it to the Ohio river and, without any fanfare or publicity, set sail on Nov. 9 for New Port Rieliey where he had for merly maintained a winter home. By the time he reached Cincin nati, the newepepen had learned of his proposed 1,100-mile trip and Captain Heeker began to receive nation-wide publicity. Mb j i a , - Mayor George Friedly or New Port Richcy learned of the trip and notified cities and towns along the traveler's route to keep watch for him. From that point on, the citizens of New Port Richey Ifept an anxious watch on the captain's progress. Captain Hecker says that his trip down the Mississippi was rel atively uneventful except for the weather. He said that he was caught in a snowstorm on the Ohio and experienced several days of rain and cold weather on the Mis sissippi. He said that on two occasions he slept on the boat in wet clothes. He said that he travelled only in the day and tied up along 'the shore at night, fie usually was able to spend the night with some resi dents of the town at which he stopped, although he occasionally had to spend the night on the boat. The voyager keeps his boat stocked with enough food for sev eral days and has a two-burner stove on which he can, if necessary, cook his meals. He also carries a sleeping bag. and the boat has a canvas canopy to protect him from bad weather. When Captain Hecker reached New Orleans, he waited seven days for an opportunity to take his small craft through the Industrial chan nel to the Gulf of Mexico. When port officials at New Orleans be came worried about him crossing the gulf, Captain Hecker agreed to travel part of the way on an oil barge. One of the oil barges took him See BECKER, Page 7 r Ai a meeting monciay nigni in me cyae Jones snowroom, it was re ported that it appears certain that a new attempt to extend the town limits of Morehead City will succecd. It was reported that 86 residents of the area to be annexed have signed a petition asking for annexation, and enough others have promised to sign the petition to bring the total number of names to 120. The petition will be presented to the Morehead City town board at Beaufort Rotary Hears Penologist James Waite, director of the But ner Youth center at Camp Butner, was the guest speaker at Tuesday night s meeting of the Beaufort Ro tary club. Mr. Waite described the work at the center, which is devoted to the rehabilitation of youthful first offenders. Through a program of work and recreation, the center seeks to release the young men as useful members of society. The inmates are chosen from among honor grade prisoners in various road camps. The youth cen ter operates on the honor system and there are no guards. The center stresses to the inmate the importance of regaining their citi zenship rights after they are re leased. The success of the center is borne out by the statistics on the number of repeaters among those released from the center, in most of the state's prison camps, about 70 per cent of those released re turn to prison for other crimes. Less than six per cent of those re leased from the youth center re turn to prison. The center was begun four years ago with 30 inmates and now has about 90 inmates. Two of the inmates of the center accompanied Mr. Waite to the meeting and spoke about their experience at the center. They told how their attitudes had been changed by the time they had spent at the school and how they were ready to return to society. A native of Texas, Mr. Waite came here in 1933 as a summer camt counsellor. *He married a Hir' ?r?t t <i+er* lived there for ?>me yoaiV Mter hl? diarharg-' frum the service at the end of World War II, he entered prison work.

Group Opposes A Highway Extension The New Bern chamber of com merce. through its highway and transportation committee, went on record Tuesday as opposing a proposed extension of NC 12 to provide an alternate route be tween Morehead City and Kin ston.
