My Camera and I Visit
The Garden, Calvary
By THE REV. JOHN BUNN
This is a picture story on Cal- 1
vary and the Garden Tomb. The
Garden Tomb is a rectangular cave, j
artificially excavated in the facej
of a solid rock hill. Directly in the
center of the picture can be seen i
the tomb door.
By looking carefully just below
the door at what appears to be a
rock ledge, the rock-hewn channel
in which the stone door was rolled,
can be seen.
If we enter the tomb door, the
sight which we see is where Christ
lay after crucifixion (above). No
tice the sloping floor of the coffin
bottom with the foot niche carved
from living rock.
Running along the center of the , ?
mm ?
picture, one can observe a rock
cut channel. Into this channel a
long flat stone slab was set to
make a side for the coffin. Ano
ther slab was then placed over the
top to completely close the sepul
chre.
Just cast of the Garden Tomb
area, a distance of about 50 yards v
is Golgotha or Calvary where 1
Christ was crucified. In the right I
center of the picture you can see '
the two caves in the rock which c
appear as eyes and between them '
the rock ridge which resembles a '
nose.
This reminds us of Mark 15:22
vhich says, "And they bring him
into the place Golgotha . . . the
>lace of a skull." At the extreme
?ight top corner of the picture one
:an see the place of crucifixion,
vhere Christ along with the two
hieves was crucified.

Officers at Annual Meet
Official Extends
Season for Taking
Scallops, Crabs j
The season for taking scallops
and crabs in pots has been extend
ed, C. G. Holland, fisheries com '
missioner, announced yesterday.
Commissioner Holland also report
ed that certain designated trawlers
mad? trial runs for spotted shrimp i '
last night. I
The crab pot season will not close <
until Saturday, May 5. The seal- j '
lop season will continue through j '
Thursday, May 31. Roth seasons 1
usually close May 1. which would i
be today. j '
Commissioner Holland said e\- j 1
tension on these seasons has been j '
granted for the same reason the;'
shad and herring seasons were 1
lengthened ? bad weather. Shad j
and herring may be taken until '
next Thursday, May 10.
High winds and cold weather
have kept the crab catch down and <
fishermen can't go after scallops | ?
in rough weather, So to give the j ^
fishermen a bit more time to take I
advantage of these fisheries, state ?
officials decided to keep the sea- \ 1
son open a bit longer.
Commissioner Holland said that (
five privately-owned trawlers made >
trial drags last night for the spotted (
shrimp, a species which can be t
taken only at night. The trawlers
made the test runs in Core Sound, j
Pamlico Sound and the Neuse ,
River. I
Commissioner Holland says re
sults of the test runs will be an- f
nounced some time this week. He i <
doubted seriously that shrimp of j j
commercial size would be found j ]
since seasons are running about 10 t
days late.
Should shrimp of marketable size ] ,
be taken, the catches wrjll be turn- 1 1
ed over to the fisheries commis- ,
,?oncr.
' When it is determined that the
shrimp are ready to be taken,
shrimping in inland waters will be
permitted. In past years the season
has opened about the middle of j
May. I

Bam Containing
Cypress Lumber
Burns at Smyrna
In spite of excellent performance
by the Beaufort Rural Fire Depart
ment's new pumper, firemen were
unable to save a barn at Smyrna
Thursday night. Down East fire
men also answered the alarm.
The barn, containing 5,000 feet
of cypress lumber, was owned by
Mrs. D. B. Wade, Smyrna. It is
not known how the fire started.
The pumper on the rural truck,
which enabled firemen to get water
from the creek, was recently pur
chased with funds collected during
the membership drive
i The fire had a good headstart by
the time it was discovered and the
firemen called. The firefighters
spent three and a half hours at the
scene, putting the blaze out and
making sure it didn't flare up
again.
The firemen were pleased with
their new pump's performance and
felt sure it could have been the de
ciding factor in saving the proper
ty, had they been able to get to
the fire before it made so much
headway.

Full-Time FHA
Office Opens
I Carteret County again has a per
| mancnt Farmers Home Adminis
tration office. Miss Lorraine Wil
lis, Beaufort, employed on a tem
porary basis several months ago,
has been employed on a full-time
basis, I. M. Robbing, FHA super
visor, announces.
The FHA office is located in
room 210, Beaufort postoffice. All
files pertaining to FHA borrowers
in this county have now been trans
ferred from New Bern to Beaufort.
The permanent FHA office here
was disestablished a number of
years ago.
Applications for all types of ser
vices may be made in the Beaufort
office. Mr. Robbins said, "FHA
is engaged in extending supervised
credit. It makes farm-ownership
loans for the purchase, enlarge
ment, and development of family
type farms; emergency loans in
designated areas; production and
subsistence loans for the operation
of family -type farms; and soil and
water conservation loans.
"Whatever the purpose for
which FHA assistance may be
needed, applications may be made
at any time of the year. On the
basis of experience, it is expected,"
says the supervisor, "that in the
near future most of those who ap
ply arc likely to be interested In
soil and water conservation loans.
"These, as the name implies, are
adapted to a variety of uses. But
in this area loans of this type havo
been used more frequently for the
establishment of irrigating systems
and for the improvement of farm
drainage than for any of the other
purposes for which FHA is per
mitted to advance them."
Until a short time after the hur
ricanes in 1955, the FHA was not
represented in this county by full
, lime personnel. The agency served
' the county from its New Bern of
> fice. and a part time office at Beau
1 fort.
Mr Robbins reports that many
I emergency loans were made follow
i ing the severe and widespread
? losses experienced by farmers last
year. In addition, loans of other
i types, have increased in number,
[he said.
