Jet Pilot Killed
When Plane Falls
In Open Grounds
Second Lt. Thomas Patrick Riley,
USMC, Cherry Point, was killed
Wednesday afternoon when the
Cougar jet he was flying crashed
10 miles northeast of Beaufort.
Mayor Clifford Lewis, Beaufort,
and his brother, Marvin Lewis,
Morehead City, were fishing in
North River and saw the plane
fall.
"We heard these planes over
head," the mayor said, "and then
saw one break through the clouds,
trailing smoke. I thought it might
hit right near us but it went on
and crashed someplace that looked
like it might be in the open
grounds. It was terrible ? it look
ed like pictures you see of an
atomic bomb burst.
The Cherry Point Public Infor
mation office says the plane was
an F9F8. Pilots who flew over the
crash scene said wreckage was
scattered over a wide area.
Lieutenant Riley was a member
of Marine Air Group 24 and was on
a routine training flight. His home
was in Newark, Ohio. He it sur
vived by his wife, the formed Lor

David Jones, chairman of the
council, upon suggestion of C. S.
Long, Newport, appointed B. J.
May, Mrs. David Beveridge and R.
M. Williams to a committee to pre
sent the council's proposition to
members of the Beaufort Ameri
can Legion post, sponsors of the
"fair."
The council said they will invite
Tbomas E. Kelly and C. L. Beam,
and any other Legionnaires affili
ated with the fair to their meet
ing Thursday, Nov. 10, in the court
house annex. Members of the
County Ministers Association and
principals of all schools in the
county will also be invited.
The council members agreed that
a real agricultural and educational
fair, containing exhibits by rural
residents and the schools, would be
desirable, but they were unanimous
in their opinion that they could
not support "anything like we had
out there this year."
Mrs. Floy Garner, home agent,
said that thus year if the Home
Demonstration Club * women and
4-H'ers hadn't put exhibits there,
there would have been none at all.
Mrs. Gamer said that if the farm
agencies find that they can co
operate, there wHl have to be also
an adjuftment upward in the pre
miums paid prize winners.
?So Little' ?
Mr. Long said relative to the
premiums. "They pay so little, it's
not worth it."
B. J. May said that representa
tit* of the agricultural agencies
shetrid help select the shows that
coattTltfi "They know exactly what
they're getting when tfce.v go to
Raleigh in January to sign up
those shows," he said, "and if we
(aericultura! agencies) didn't ex
hibit out there, they couldn't have
the carnival. They've told me that
themselves."
Mrs. Garner also poinled out that
the fair premlXim book has no name
of a board of dlfectors for the fair,
who's responsible for it or who's
doing what.
R. M. Williams showed a fair
premium book on the Pender Coun
ty Fair, listing the people in charge
and the program. The fair runs
from Wednesday through Saturday
he said. There are a few rides and
no sideshows.
Fair Events
There arc dairy cattle shows,
band concerts, greetings from town
and county officials, fireworks, con
tests for teen-agers, Voice of De
mocracy and spelling contests,
speeches by state officials, selec
tion of beauty queens, prizes to
schools that win the most events,
poultry shows and square dancing.
Mrs. Beveridge moved that the

Governor Hodges
To Arrive Today
At Sea Level Inn
Gov. Luther Hodges and party
will arrive at the Sea Level Inn
by plane today for a few days of
fishing.
Governor Hodges is hoping to
break the jinx. Every time he's
tried his luck fishing in these
parts, his takchome catch has
been nothing.
With Grady Sheets of Atlantic
as guide, the governor and his
party will go to Core Banks to
fish for drum.
J. A. DuBois, manager of the
Sea Level Inn, says that Mr.
Sheets can catch drum when no
body else can, so it is expected
that the governor will have at
least one fish to carry back to
the executive mansion.
He is expected to be at Sea
Level until Tuesday.

was bound over to Superior Court
when Judge Lambert R. Morris
found probable cause in the man
slaughter case against Lawrence
yesterday in County Recorder's
Court. Bond was set at $900. Law
rence did not take the stand dur
ing the preliminary hearing.
According to the testimony of
State Highway Patrolman J. W.
Sykes and Sheriff Hugh Salter, the
defendant claimed that Clarence
Piner. Otway, was driving the auto
mobile in which he was killed Oct.
12. Then, they said, Lawrence con
fessed this week that he had been
the driver.
The testimony of both law of
ficers revealed that Lawrence had
told them that he and Durwood
Ciillikin, Otway, had consumed a
pint of whisky on their trip from
Portsmouth, Va., to Otway, in the
company of Piner the day of the
fatal wreck.
Lawrence was reported by offi
cers as having said he had driven
the car to Otway from Portsmouth,
and that after leaving Gitlikin off
at his home, had driven to the
home of Piner's mother. At the
mother's home it was learned that
Piner's wife was at Stacy.
Lawrence, on the night of the ac
cident, told officers that from Ot
way. bound to Stacy, Piner was
driving. Monday, however, he gave
a statement to the sheriff to the
effect that he was driving at the
time of the accident.
Blood Noted
Patrolman Sykeft stated thit ho
looked the car over after the wreck
and discovered that most of the
blood was on the right side of the
car. When he asked Lawrence
about this, Lawrence told him that
he didn't know how it got there.
In his statement to Patrolman
Sykes, Lawrence stated, the patrol
man said, that his arm had been
caught in the right hand door, but
when he admitted to the sheriff
that he had been driving, he said

Year's Evidence Indicates
Snapper Fishery for Sure
Fin-equipped gold of a rosy hue has been discovered
off the North Carolina coast and from present indications
the new red snapper fishery may equal the snapper fishery
of Florida.
Dr. William E. Fahy, Institute of Fisheries Research.
UNC, believes that North Carolina fishermen, with the
proper equipment, roum realize
from the red snapper business an
income surpassing that of shrimp
ing.
During the past four months
50,000 pounds of snappers have
been taken from the new North
Carolina grounds, the price to the'
fishermen ranging between 18 and
35 cents a pound.
Now some of the old fishermen
hereabouts say they fished commer
cially for snapper many years ago
and Dr. Fahy says that on occasion
they may have caught snappers

nave you seen me snip ai me

Well, that's the SS Silver Ma
riner. one of the largest and fast
est passenger-cargo ships afloat.
The "grasshopper legs" are giant
booms and pulleys which makes it
possible to load the ship with unbe
lievable speed. The Mariner is tak
ing part in the current Navy and
Marine Corps amphibious opera
tion.
The Silver Mariner, owned by
the Maritime Administration and
operated by Moore - McCormack
Lines, cruises at 22 knots. The only
ships in the North Atlantic which
can outrun her are the luxurious
passenger liners, the United States,
Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary.
Built under the emergency pro
gram necessitated when the Korean
war broke out, the Silver Mariner's
speetj enables her to travel in war
time without convoy.
Commissioned in August 1954,
the Mariner was named in honor
of the silver-producing state of

(Editor's Note: In view of the continuing interest in cleaning up
the "county fair." [see letter on editorial page and agriculture coun

Although the newspaper hac

One of the headlines over the

In the same issue of that paper

when she was commissioned, he
was on Moore-McCormack ships op
orating between New York and
Scandinavia and New York and
South America.
After its current assignment, the
ship will resume its regular run to
Rremerhaven, carrying dependents'
vehicles overseas. The Mariner can
carry 460 passenger automobiles in
one trip.
She has 26 cargo booms and
! seven hatches as compared to the
five hatches usually found on cargo
ships. Below the main deck ve
hicles can be stacked three deep.
As the lowest deck is filled, hatch
doors slide shut, vehicles are low

when filled, hatch doors are closed
over them and then more cargo
loaded.

The vessel cruises on 17.500
horsepower, carries a crew of 12
officer^ and 46 men and is 565 feet
long. Her deadweight is 13,300
tons. Built at a cost of ten mil
lion dollars, she has carried cargo
for the Military Sea Transport Ser
vice and was rung in on the cur
rent Navy-Marine exercise to show
her capabilities in an amphibious
operation.
Captain O'Neil calls it "good
practice for us." All officers aboard
at present are Naval Reserve offi
cers. Commodore of the exercise,
which will end Nov. 9, is billeted
aboard the Mariner.
The 12-passenger space on the (
ship is occupied by other military
personnel.
The Mariner makes her own
water by evaporating sea water. It's
more economical than taking on
water at the dock. Captain O'Neil
comments. It can store 400 tons
and uses about 30 tons a day (233
gallons to a ton).
Unlike European - built ships,
there's not a strip of wood in her.
