New Director
Of Ports Will
Visit Morehead
J. D. Holt, Manager of
Local Port, Expects
R. S. Marr Next Week
Richard S. Marr, newly-appoint
ed director of North Carolina ports,
will pay his first official visit to
the state port at Morehead City
early next week, J. D. Holt, port
manager, said yesterday.

lette. Mr. Holt said he expects
Colonel Marr either Monday or
Tuesday.
Colonel Gillette gave a party for
his successor Wednesday at Wil
mington. Mr. Holt, who attended,
said the new director is now look
ing for a house in Wilmington. He !
and his wife are presently living 1
at Rock Hill, S. C. !
Visits Wilmington
Colonel Marr made his first of
ficial visit to the Wilmington port
Monday. He was accompanied by i
two members of the State Ports
Authority, Chairman Edwin Pate of ,
Laurinburg and Avery Thompson !
of Lake Waccamaw. i
He was reported pleased with !
the Wilmington" terminal. The
problem now, he said, is to give
the Wilmington and Morehead City
ports a lot of business.
The problems, he said, are first, j
to get business to the ports and
second, sell the ports to the steam
ship lines.
Confident of Future
There is enough business in this
part of the nation, he declared, for
all ports to be working at full ca
pacity. North Carolina ports must
operate so efficiently and be so at
tractive that business will natural
ly flow here. Colonel Marr added.
The n<*W dli eetw and the Ports
Authority plan to get business by
opening solicitation offices in New
York, the midwest, and perhaps
one in Washington. There wUl also ,
be solicitation in the Piedmont ,
section of the state.
Chairman Pate said of the new ,
director, "Marr is an excellent ad- j
ministrator. Between him and the ,
additional competent personnel he
will attract. I feel sure we're go
ing to have an aggressive and in
telligent solicitation program." (

some mementos of Civil War days,
for at that point was a section
of breastworks thrown up by Con
federate soldiers during the early
days of the war as protection for
Morehead City and Beaufort
