? Unless state education officials'
change their minds, Morehcad City
School will lose its highly-valued
vocational education department
which teaches boys woodworking
and cabinet making.
The school board has been noti
fied by J. Warren Smith, director
of vocational education, Raleigh,
that due to insufficient funds the
state has to reduce the number of
vocational education departments
it sponsors throughout the state.
Mr. Smith said that following a
recent survey, it was noted that in
the past five years none of the
boys who took the course at More
head City School had gone into
woodworking to earn a livelihood.
He sjid that the program at the
school would be discontinued as of
yesterday.
Protests Filed
H. L. Joslyn, superintendent of
the County Board of Education,
has protested the closing of the
vocational education department,
as has Dr. D. J. Eure, chairman of
the Morehead City School Board.
The Chamber of Commerce, the Ro
tary Club, D. G. Bell, county legis
lator, and several of the boys who
were enrolled in the woodworking
courses have also objected to the
shutdown.
, Three well-known carpenters and
cabinet makers in this area, G. S.
Mitchell, M. J. Lockhart and Joe
Fulcher, were students in the de
partment Both Mr. Mitchell and
Mr. Lockhart have written Mr.
Smith, pointing out the value of
the instruction they received.
Student Writes
A letter was also written by
Ralph A. Sterlen, a student who
graduated within the past few
years. Mr. Sterlen is now enrolled
at State College. He remarked that
his woodworking training was
most helpful to him in the service
and that without the training he
would not have been able to decide
on his course of study in coll?ge.
Mr. Joslyn commented yesterday
that many of the boys who take
the course go Into the Navy and
Coast Guard. Their training in
woodworking has proved invaluable
to them and in many cases was the
stepping stone which led to higher
ratings.
The instructor, since the course
was instituted in 1035, has been
Delfido Cordova. Boys in the 11th
and 12th grades enrolled in the
program received three hours'
instruction each morning and the
remainder of the time Mr. Cor
dova devoted to teaching the
younger boys.
According to the vocational edu
cation aet-up, the state pays one
third of the coat, federal govern
ment one-third and the county one
third.
Mr. Joslyn said that if the state
does not reverse its decision to
stop support of tfce vocational edu
cation department, he seea no way
that financial support could be
provided locally.'
If the county had the money. It
would be obligated to do the same
for every high school, and that
would be financially impoaaible.

' The punt month was the best June for menhaden catches
in seven years, W. H. Potter, manager of the Beaufort Fish
eries, said yesterday. In his words, "It's been 50 per cent
better than any summer since 1948." t
Shrimp catches are better this year than last, bu| they're
off this week as compared to last week's catches.
Menhaden catches slacked off this week too. But the
boats fishing inside were making*
record hauls the middle of the
month Beaufort Fisheries, the
only plant in this area which op
erates the year around, was pour
ing smoke from its stacks and
putting out an aroma which local
folks love but visitors abhor.
Outside Hauls Off
Menhaden boats outside have
been doing practically nothing.
Mr. Potter said that the bombing
runs off New River drive the fish
out into deep water. Also, lack of
rain has decreased the food supply
and the fish not driven far into
the ocean arc coming into inside
waters to feed. #
Mr. Potter explained that the in
side waters have a larger amount
of fresh water which increases the
supply of plankton sought by the
menhaden.
The size of the fish is smaller
than the menhaden caught in win
ter. They're from 7 to 8 inches
long, "lean and hungry," Mr. Pot
ter said, and have no oil.
They're on their way to feeding
grounds where they will put on
weight this summer and then come
back along this coast in the late
fall, fat and full of the valuable
oil
Working Outside
Unlike the menhaden boats,
shrimpers are doing better outside
than in. Many boats which had
been working in the rivers and
sounds arc this week operating
out of Beaufort and Morehead City.
The fleet has been estimated be
tween 60 and 70 craft.
The few shrimp caught inside
are running 41 to 45 per pound.
These caught outside run 31 to 39.
The larger ones are bringing the
shrimper about 20 cents and the
smaller ones 18 cents a pound.
Catches dropped off from last
week. A 1,500 pound catch by
Markers Island boats wai reported
Monday. But shrimpen say there's
always a lull in catches about this
tim?.
Channel net shrimping is about
over. This type of shrimping dif
fers from trawling in that the nets
are stationary and the flow of the
tide carries the shrimp into the
tail bag.
Even though catches this year
are ahead of 1954, shrimpers point
out that 1954 was a bad year, in
ferring that almost anything this
season couldn't help but be better.

County Liquor
Sales Up in May
Total Was $47,975.25;
New Way of Profit
Dividing Begins Today
Sales at county liquor stores to
taled $47,975.25 for the month of
May, according to the report re
leased yesterday at the county au
ditor's office.
Morehead City sales were $26,
106.25, Beaufort $13,08045, and
Newport $8,788.55.
Shares paid to the three towns
in which the stores are located are
as follows: Morehead City Hospital
$1,194.77, Beaufort $599.07 and
Newport $402.38. Estimated net
profit for May, $4,045.51, was paid
to the county.
Sales for May of this year were
ahead of last May's by $2,107. Paid
to the county last month was $5,
042.49, the net profit for the quar
ter ending March 31, 1955. A total
of $22,958.58 has been paid the
county for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1955.
According to county officials,
profit from ABC stores in previous
years has averaged $35,000.
Because the county felt that the
expense of operating the stores
was not warranted by the return,
a bill was introduced in the recent
legislature to divide profits on the
basis of net receipts rather than
gross. That new procedure takes
effect today.
In the past, the profits were di
vided among the towns on a per
centage of gross receipts and if
any {irtrfit 6a? left, the county got
it. The new method assures the
county of return on a basis equal
with the towns.
