PRIZE-WINNING NEWSPAPER CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES '<* TAR HEEL COAST 46th YEAR. NO. Sg. TWO"SECTIONS SIXTEEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1957 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Fisheries Division Uses Plane To Catch Sunday Shrimpers C. G. Holland, state fisheries commissioner, reported yesterday that several shrimpers were caught Sunday violating the no-Sunday shrimping law. Names of the violators will be re leased. he said, when papers are served on them. The violators were caught when the stale commercial fisheries division used a plane in conjunction with four stale patrol boats. Atoard the plane, besides the pi lot, was Leon Thomas of the state fisheries division. Walkie-talkie ra dio was used from the plane be cause the plane's radio frequency was not the same as that on the state boats. Commissioner Holland said that the plane was put into use because some shrimpers have been viloting the Sunday ban. The commissioner commented that lots of shrimpers have to make good this season because they had such a bad year in 1956. For that reason, they've been out shrimping on Sunday. "We don't feel harsh toward any of thcin," the commis sioner commented, "but the Sun day no shrimping regulation must be obeyed." The weather has been so good that shrimpers have been able to work around the clock. In seasons when weather is bad, the shrimp get a rest when the boats can't get out, the commissioner said. But this season the shrimp aren't let alone on Sunday nor do they get a rest from the trawls because of bad weather. One day of no-shrimping each week is considered a conservation measure. Commissioner Holland says that his department is going to continue use of a rented patrol plane and anticipates buying its own plane. Sheriffs Department Takes Visitors on Tour of New Jail The sheriff's department is con ducting open house in the new jail beside the courthouse. Bruce Ed wards, jailer, reported that a hun dred persons went through the jail Wednesday morning and en joyed refreshments of lemonade, cookies, peanuts and mints.

Committee OK's Bill That Covers Harbor Project The House public works commit tee approved Wednesday the $1.4 billion rivers and harbors bill which includes deepening More head City harbor to 34 feet. Cost of the project is $1,197,000. The bill must now be apporved by both the House and the Senate. This is the second time the More head City harbor project was started on the tedious way toward approval, ? authorization and ac tual digging. The harbor depth now is 30 feet. The project was included in a bill which got through the Con gressional mill last year but was vetoed by the President who claimed there were projects in the bill which had not been properly investigated. The Morehcad City harbor pro i jeet was moved higher on the priority list at the Rivers and Har bors Congress in May. The Public Works committee ap proved a five-year program of era- j dication by the Army Engineers j of water hyacinths, alligator weeds i and other obnoxious plants wher-1 ever they grow in North Carolina and seven other states. The projects could cost an csti- j mated $1,350,000 annually for five j years, with the federal government j providing $1,012,500 annually, and the remaining $337,500 supplied by local interests. Also in the bill is an authoriza tion for a flood protection project on Pantego and Cucklcrs Creek in North Carolina, for which the cost is estimated at $413,000. The measure also authorizes an Army Engineers' survey of Wrights Creek in the State.

J. May. county ASC office4 manager, estimates that the coun ty's tobacco crop will l>e 40 per cent less than it was last year. He based his estimate on the fact that 25 per cent of the county's tobacco land is in the soil hank and that black shank has done considerable damage to the tobacco that has been planted. In 1950, farmers harvested 1. 704,400 pounds of tobacco in the county. That was 700,000 pounds less than for 1955, Mr. May re ports. This year it appears that county farmers will harvest only about a million pounds of tobacco. Mr. May says that he is afraid that the cut in production will not lead to a rise in price. "There a I ways has been a good market for top grades of tobacco," he says, "and poorer grades have never brought a good price, regardless of demand. Due to black shank and other diseases, the tobacco this year is of a rather poor qual ity on the average." Type 12 tobacco, grown in the eastern bolt, is expected to have an average yield of 1.550 pounds per aere. This figure has been re leased by the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service. Mr. May point ed out that this is more than 200 pounds below last year's record yield of 1,760 pounds per aere. The Cnitcd States Hue cured to bacco crop is forecast at 962.965,? 000 pounds. That is 92 per cent lower than last years crop and the smallest since 1943. Woman Gets Diamonds Back The two diamond rings lost by Mrs. W. Fay at Atlantic Beach last Friday have l>een recovered. When Mrs. Fay was given the rings by Sheriff Hugh Salter she broke down and cried. Mrs. Fay, a resident of Kinston, is living at ltiU7 . Shacklcford St., Morchcad City. The two rings were turned over j Tuesday to Patrolman BiJI Condie j of the Morehead City Police De partment by a Marine. The $115 in cash, which was also with the rings in Mrs. Fay's pocket book, was not recovered. Mrs. Fay said she left her bag on the beach somewhere Friday, but did not miss it until Saturday morning. Meanwhile, beach police found the bag but it did not con tain the rings or the money. The case is still under investi gation, the sheriff said. Crass Fire Beaufort firemen were called to Safrit's Lumber Co. on the Lennox- j ville Hoad at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday.! They found a grass fire between : Lennoxville Hoad and Ann Street.

The Civil Aeronautics au thority inspector visited tha Beaufort-Morehead City air port yesterday morning and declared that unless condi tions there are improved within the next week. Pied mont Airlines will he re stricted from using the air port. The inspector. It C. Murray, Winston-Salem, will return next week to determine whether CAA requirements have been met. The report on Mr Murray's visit was made hy M T Mills, More head City, former chairman of the Carteret County Airport Commis sion. Mr. Mills accompanird the in spector and David T. Morrison, Piedmont station manager, on the inspection tour. Problems Cited Situations needing correction, ac cording to Mr. Murray, arc the fol lowing: I. High myrtle bushes growing close to runways M.J2 and 2?-S. Unless the hushes arc cut imme diately, the runways will have to l>c closed The bushes might catch a wing-tip and cause a wreck. Furthermore, Mr. Murray said, they prevent the station master from seeing whether anyone is ob structing the runways prior to a plane's coming in. 2. Children playing on the air port apron. While Mr Murray was making his inspection. Mr. Mills said a woman from Beaufort drove up with shout six or eight hoys in her car. She had brought them out to the airport to play hall on the hard surface in front of the administra tion building. That simply cannot lie permitted, Mr. Mills declared. No one knows when a private plane mat land and kids chasing balls all over the run ways is extremely dangerous. Planes flying under interstate commerce are not permitted to land at any point where a human being is on the landing field, Mr. Mills explained. 3. Cars using the taxi strips. This must he stopped. Mr. Mur ray recommends that the airport commission request the highway patrol, sheriff's department anil the Rcaufnrt police department help keep the ears on the roads and highways where they belong. 4. Planes taking off from taxi strip. The taxi strip is the paved por tion circling the airport and is to be used only by planes taxiing to the runway to take off. Private planes frequently take off from the taxi strip instead of using the runway. This is a dan gerous habit. Mr. Mills said, for a plane either landing on or taking off from a runway could collide with the plane on the strip. Mr. Murray requests that anyone seeing a plane take off from a'taxi strip notify him. furnishing htm with the license number of the plane, the type plane, time of day and the date. The information should be sent to Mr. R. C. Murray c/o CAA Smith-Reynolds Airport Winston-Salem. N. C. A pilot found violating the taxi strip regulation will have his li cense restricted. Mr. Murray proni |ised. Relative to ears driving on the , airport strip and runways, Mr Mills pointed out that the dirt road front the West Beaufort Road to the administration building is usa ble and there is also a road into the airport from Highway 101. "There is absolutely no reason for automobiles being on the air port runways," Mr Mills declared. Mr. MUla commented yesterday afternoon that he offered to stay with the commission until new ap pointees became familiar with the work. Edgar Swann. Morehead City, was appointed chairmau of the commission late in ISM. "I would like Mr. Swann to take over a* airport commission chair man." Mr. MUls said. "Maybe he can convince the people of thia county that the airport is not to be used aa a highway." Mr. Murray said the cooperation of every citisen is needed to make the airport a safe place. Party Boat Tows 16-Foot Boat to Coast Guard Fort Macon Coast Guard station had help from a partyboat ' eater day morning. A Ig-toot open boat was towed to the station by the par tyboat.
