And so it was. then, that C. H. Henderson left bis native Edge combe County and came to Car teret County and thia still some what quaint fishing village, which is located some seven milea west of- Atlantic Beach. He came in search of relief and cure, if pos sible of a very bad bronchial fil ment. And he I* glad he did. Henderson, longtime owner of a lumber and building supply bus iness at Tarboro, had thought about gning to Florida, Arizona, or some other place where the climate would not affect upon bis breathing apparatus. Comes to Coast Loath to sell his business in Tarboro, Henderson decided to give the Horehead City area a whirl. Henderson took a look at Salter l'ath. He liked what he saw. The still quaint village ia in the middle of a stretch of land, with the At lantic Ocean on one side and Boguc Sound on the other. He acquired land running 200 feet on the land side and 300 feet on the sound side, from heirs of members of the Theodore Roose velt family of New York. Having worked most of his life and determined "not to just sit and hold my hands because if I did I would certainly wind up jumping oft something," Hender son first thought about going into the cold storage seafood business on a broad scale "to keep my mind occupied." He built a house on Bogue Sound. He also constructed a small cottage to rent to weekend visitors in addition to two places in which he had his cold storage equipment. And then another idea was born in the brain of this husky son of Edgecombe County. He bad seen the countless fish ponds ao many people of this state are building for the stocking of fish. Would a salt water fish pond I be a profitable venture and would4 | it keep hit mind occupied to a , certain extent? Henderson thought | it would. While the oldtime residents of Salter Path looked on in obvious | wonder and some wondered out loud what kind of nun thi* fellow Henderson was, the Tarboro man, | who had been compelled to leave j his native county, proceded to build a fish pond between his home land the nearby Sound. The pond is now in itf second year of life. It's a large pond, mea suring 225 by 200 feet. The hur ricanes of 1>S3 almost wrecked it. Contains Many Fish It contains a wide variety of salt water fish. The fish are caught by commercial fishermen of the area and then dumped into the pond. In thf pond are drum, sea (rout, shcepshead, spots. /Toilet, clams and some oysters Fresh sea water from the squad comes into the pond on every high tide and thep sinks back to its normal level on ebb tide. The pond is of such unique con struction that there is no likeli hood of the water ever becoming stagnant. Its mud bottom contains oyster shells, rubber tires, and other things calculated to keep seafaring fish on the happy side. "Those Duke University scien tists over on Piver's Island (fish laboratory located near Beaufort) tell me that I have the only salt water fish pond in North Caro lina," Henderson said. How's business, the writer asked Henderson. "Fairly good, especially on week ends and holidays,'1 Henderson re plied. "We get families with chil dren. They come here because I guess they know they'll catch some fish. They should, too, because I know there are hundreds of fish in that pond." The pond ranges in depth of from 12 to 15 feet. Largest fish a customer caught in the pond was a 30-pound drum Recent custo mers included people driving cars with Ohio and Pennsylvania license plates. Estimating he had invested "be tween 15 and 20 thousand dollars" I f ? ? ? ? Japanese Police Fail to Agree Tokyo (AP)- Should Japanese policemen face the emperor or tfce crowd turned out to watch hiqi? Face the crowd, say Tokyo po lice. Face the emperor say the National Police. The National Police Board com plained Tokyo police were turning their backs to the emperor. That, it argued, was reviving the pre-| war custom of considering tbe em peror divine and not to be looked upon. Not so, said Tokyo police. Crowds turning out to see Emper or Hirohito are so great they just have to be watched. So, unless the two police forces ] ean get together, one ipill just have to look one way while the other , looks the other. in the pond, Henderson makes a charge of a dollar a day per cus tomer for fishing privileges.
