Sanitarian Comments
On Mosquito Program
Since the ?Ute has announced <
that it will match local funds on a
8040 basis for mosquito control,
towns and counties have been won
dering exactly what this means.
A. t>. Fulford, county sanitarian,
said Friday that he believes the
?tate will furnish the insecticide,
which he says, amounts to SO per
cent or more of the cost of spray
inc.
He added, however, that he has
received no notification from the
atate since the $57,400 in state
emergency funds were allocated
the first of this month.
Mr. Fulford said matching funds
may be available for purchase of
apraying equipment if $100,000
can be obtained from Civil De
fense. Governor Hodges has re
quested that amount and is hope
ful that CD will see fit to appro
priate it
In this county mosquito attacks
have been spotty. In some neigh
borhoods the pests have been ex
tremely active, and in some places
they haven't been very bother
some It is believed that the un
usually chilly weather is the only
thing that has kept them from
feeding in flocks everywhere.
Mr. Fulford reports that spray- 1
ing on a county-wide basis cannot
begin until July 1 when the $3,000
for mosquito control, appropriated
by the county, becomes available. [

Firemen Fight Blaze Friday
Near Yacht Basin Boat House
Photo by Jerry Schumacher
Charles Edwards, More he ad City fireman, shoots water on gasoline fire.
A serious fire was averted near
the boat house of the Morehead
City Yacht Basin at 7:30 Friday
night when Morehead City firemen
poured gallons of water on a gaso
line fire burning on the water.
^ The fire started while Manly
Styron, Morehead City, and his
stepson, Vance Mason, were work
ing on an engine in their small
open boat. They were pouring gas
oline in a carburetor to prime it
and had taken off the flame ar
rester.
The engine backfired and caught
their "priming" gasoline afire and
that in turn ignited a large 5-gal
lon can. Tom Kellum, master of
the Eight Bells, which was tied up
a few feet away, rushed for a small
fire extinguisher aboard, his boat.
Mason was about to throw the
large can of gasoline overboard,
thinking he could smother the
flames before they gained head
way, but as he was about to do so,
he noticed the knee on one of his
pants legs afire.
With that, he dove overboard,
and the can went the other way,
the gasoline spewing over the
water and flames leaping 2 and 3
feet high.
Only an unusual calm kept the
flames from being fanned higher.
When Kellum saw the fire headed
toward his boat, he ran aboard to
start the engine, preparatory to
getting his boat out in the channel.
Meanwhile, Bob Simpson, master
of the Silver Spray, came running
with a carbon dioxide fire extin
guisher while his wife plipned the
Hre department. In these lew sec
onds, a brisker wind sprang up
and flames were being blown back
toward the de-k where they were
fed by trash lying on the water
The fire licked up waxed cartons
and other debris that had been
thrown overboard and flames leap
ed high between the flooring of
the dock. In the midst of this, a
woman aboard the Rebel started
screaming, "The children, the chil
dren. get the children," meaning
the Helium's youngsters aboard the
Eight Bells.
Instead of loosing the lines to
get out of the way, as originally
planned, the Kellums decided that
in face of the increasing intensity
of the fire, the children should be
taken off and a man nearby helped
put them ashore.
Kellum was trying to help Simp
son with two pvrene fire extin
guishers. but neither the C02 nor
the pyrene had any affect on the
open flames. Only the fire depart
ment's deluge of water split the
raging fire up into small sections
and finally put ft out.
Two boats were saved from de
struction and one or two other
small craft escaped only with slight
charring.
Chamber Manager Wages Campaign
To Keep Fisheries Exhibit in N. C.
Unless somebody acts fast, the
fisheries museum which was for
merly housed at the Fish and Wild
life laboratory, Beaufort, will be
sent to "the Gulf states," J. A.
DuBois, manager of the Morehead
City Chamber of Commerce, de
clared Saturday.
Mr. DuBois, who has written to
the governor on the subject, and
who has sent telegrams also to
Congressmen Graham Barden and
Herbert Bonner, as well as W. P.
Saunders, head of the Department
of Conservation and Development,
said that the state has defaulted
on its agreement with the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service to house
the exhibit, care for it and have
? person on duty where the ex
hibit is displayed.
The specimens consist of models
of marine animals as well as ani
mals preserved in bottles.
Exhibit Moved
Until several years ago, the ex
hibit was in the Fish and Wild
life building on Pivers Island.
The exhibit was moved in 1950 to
the commercial fisheries building,
Camp Glenn and a member of the
staff of the Institute of Fisheries
Research served as curator. The
museum was named in honor of
the late Koy Hampton, Plymouth,
N. C.
Aftrr a couple years, it was de
cided to move the display to Fort
Macon where it would be housed
and a state park service employee
would be on hand to supervise.
Mr. DuBois discovered Saturday
that the museum has never been
taken to the fort.
Some specimens arc still hang
ing on' the wall at the fisheries
building. Others, in formaldehyde,
have been taken to the second
floor of the building, according to

Repeated Inquiries
Mr. DuBois said he started check
ing on the museum following re
peated inquiries from tourists as
to where they could see it. Mr. Du
Bois said that transfer of the ex
hibit to the Gulf states has already
been authorized by the Fish and
Wildlife Service in Washington.
Commissioner Holland said yes
terday that he received over the
weekend a letter from Arnie Sou
mela, acting director of the Fish
and Wildlife Service, Washington,
asking whether North Carolina
was willing to have the exhibit
moved.
Commissioner Holland said that
in his opinion, if the funds arc
made available to meet operating
cost, the museum could be re
opened here.
In the letter to Governor
Hodges, Mr. DuBois said,
"Is it possible that North Caro
lina, one of the greatest Commer
cial Fishing States, cannot find
funds to support a museum "dedi
cated to this great industry? If
so, why were the Coastal Counties
and Towns not approached for
suggestions and support?
"Can a State which is striving
for more industry, more progress
and more attractions, sit back and
see its only Fisheries Museum
handed over to other States?
"Instead shouldn't we be think
ing in terms of a larger museum
with a modern aquarium and ad
ded attractions?
"A permanent building must be
furnished with adequate space for
an aquarium and for future expan
sion. The logical location would
be near one of the Fisheries Re
search laboratories, but any lo
cation in North Carolina will
do. . . "
Mr. DuBois said that Congress
man Barden has replied to the
telegram, stating that he would
start checking on the matter yes
terday.

Re-Elects Joe
DuBois President
Joe DuBois, More head City, was
re-elected president of US Highway
70 Association at a meeting Thurs
day at Goldsboro.
Other officers elected were Rich
ard K. Degenhardt, Asheville;
Charles D. Cunningham. Lexing
ton, and John G. Riddick, Golds
boro, vice-presidents, and Ben Al
ford, Morehead City, secretary
treasurer.
The organization plans to publish
50,000 copies of a pictorial map of
"US 70 from the Mountains to the
Seashore."
The slogan, Hospitality Route,
was adopted for Highway 70 from
coast to coast, and attractive, uni
iorm ITS 70 signs arc to be design
ed for use at the east and west ap
proaches to every town on US 70 in
the state.
Dues of $20 per year were set for

hotels, motels, restaurants and ser
vice stations. This amount is to
cover the listing on road map of

Spring Shrimp
Fail to Show Up
It looks as though the record will
read, "No spring run of shrimp in
North Carolina inland waters in
1958." The spotted shrimp, usual
ly taken in trawk from the middle
of May through June, just haven't'
showed up.
C. G. Holland, commercial fish
eries commissioner, said that the
best shrimpers can do is hope for a
summer run. Both Mr. Holland,
and Dr. A. F. Chestnut, director of
the Institute of Fisheries Research,
report that there are an awful lot
of tiny shrimp which ought to
make a good catch in 3S to 40 days.
Trawlers taking shrimp in the
ocean are getting from 7S to 100
pounds a day. Most start to work
at about 2 a.m. and return to port
at 9 a.m.
Mr. Holland said shrimpers and
fishermen, generally, are at a stand
still.
In spite of the condition here, he
said some Florida boats are com
ing to these waters. Fishing in
Florida is reported to be slow too.
Dr. Chestnut said that 4he cold
weather may be responsible for the
lack of a spring run. He said quite
a few young shrimp have been
found frozen along the shores and
if any did move out to the ocean,
they did so spasmodically and not
in large schools.
Driver Suffers
Chest Injury
J. T. Hill, route 2 Kington, suf
fered a punctured chut at 9:30

Big Weekend
Visitors swarmed to the state
park, Atlantic Beach and Emerald
Isle over the weekend Atlantic
Beach and Morehead City police
men started their summer stint o t
traffic directing in the broiling
sua.
? Based on a valuation of $1,225,000, the tax rate for At
lantic Beach for 1956-57 has been set at $1.35. This is ex
pected to yield $16,537.50, based on 100 per cent collec
tion. The rate was set at the meeting of town commission
ers Saturday morning at the summer home of Commis
sioner W. C. Whitehurst.
The total budget for the fiscal year was set at $21,807.50.
ExDcnidtures for the vear aro ? ?
broken down as follows:
Town clerk and tax collector's
salary, $1,050; dues (League of Mu
nicipalities and Institute of Gov
ernment), $32.50; mayor's ex
penses, $600; police, $6,010; life
guards, $2,375; garbage and refuse
collection, sanitation, $4,840; street
construction and maintenance, $4,
750; street lights, $1 054 80; fire de
partment, $500, and miscellaneous,
$595.20.
The property valuation for the
coming year is $477,346 higher than
last year's.
The commissioners lowered the
tax rate from $1.50 and went on
record .stating that the rate un
doubtedly would have been lower
if it hadn't been for the disasters
which struck the beach during the
past year.
They added further that it was
their intent to lower the rate as
soon as it was practical. They hope
this will be possible for 1957-1958.
The board passed a resolution
stating that they regretted the oc
currence at the beach when some
sailors and Marines were involved
in several fights last month.
Certain reports on the incident
were exaggerated, one reporter
even linking a comment on the
Morehead City police blotter,
"What a night!" to the alleged
"brawls" at the beach where More
head City police have no jurisdic
tion.
Rumors that Cherry Point mili
tary authorities were alarmed
about conditions at the beach were
declared to be without foundation
by the Cherry Point Public infor
mation office.
Military police have been grant
ed permission by Cherry Point au
thorities to serve as officers at At
lantic Bcach when they are not on
military- duty. The board also said
that the beach will be rigidly po
liced during the coming weeks.
R. A. Barefoot appeared before
the commissioners and requested
that something be done about ,
drainage at the intersection of the ,
beach road and the Salter Path
road. The board stated that the '
problem was the state's and asked
the clerk to write the highway com
mission.
In reply to a recent request by :
A. F. Fleming, the board stated
that they would open up Raleigh |
Avenue in the west end of the ;
bcach as soon as funds are avail
able.
Mayor A. B. Cooper announced <
that the state has taken over At
lantic Boulevard west, and that i
Mart Bell is to repair Greenville I
Avenue this week. 1
