Morehead Sets
Dates for War
On Mosquitoes
' Bill Singleton, chairman of the
Morehead City Finer Carolina com
mittee, announced Wednesday that
one of the group's major projects
is mosquito control.
The week of June 9 to 14 will
be designated War on Mosquito
Week.
Mr. Singleton explained that the
project envisions every family do
ing its share to prevent breeding
of mosquitoes.
In addition to asking that per
sons get rid of pools of stagnant
water, rusty cans filled with water,
or other mosquito breeding places,
Mr. Singleton is anxious to learn
what suggestions persona may have
for eliminating mosquitoes.
"They may call me at my home,
6-3241, any time after 5 o'clock,"
he said. Persons may also give
suggestions to G. E. Sanderson,
town street commissioner, under
whose jurisdiction is mosquito
spraying.
Mr. Singleton is seeking coopera
tion of civic groups and Scout
troops. Organizations which want
to help in the mosquito war should
contact him.
"Scouts, for example," Mr. Sin
gleton said, "could pick up cans
and botlles holding water."
, The mayor is expected to pro
claim the week of June 9 as War
on Mosquito Week.
Color TV Set
Will Go July 4
The Centennial deficit committee
will conduct a drawing (or the color
television set on display at Econo
my Appliance Store on July 4.
T/Sgt. P. D. Bray, committee
chairman, says July 4 is the final
drawing date he will set.
Hie set was to have been given
away the first time on April 28.
The date of the drawing has been
set back several times since then.
The deficit committee wai organ
ized to pay off the debts left in the
wake of the CentenniaJ Jubilee last
summer.
Sergeant Bray said yesterday
that he was not sure just how much
the Centennial committee owes.
J. R Sanders, Centennial treas
urer, was requested at a meeting
at noon Tuesday to draw up a de
tailed financial statement of the
amount still owed to meet Centen
nial debts. The color tv give-away
was devised to raise money to pay
off the debt.
The city of Greensboro has re
parted a $16,000 loss on its recent
Sesquicentennial celebration. Plans
are under way there now to raise
money to meet that deficit.
Looks as though birthday parties
for cities aren't profit propositions.

Shrimp Season Will
Open Sunday Midnight
Opening of the shrimp season in
inland waters is late this year.
The season will open at midnight
Sunday.
The opening comes 26 days after
last year's season and six days
after the 1956 season opened.
Ocean shrimpers have been
catching very few and there is
little hope of finding large quanti
ties of shrimp in the creeks and
bays. Those that are caught may
run about 40 or SO count, com
mented C. G. Holland, fisheries
commissioner.
Shrimping in the ocean is al
lowed any lime. Shrimping in "in
land waters", under control of the
state, is permitted only by state
regulation.
The heavy freezes of the past
winter took a toll of young shrimp
and young finfish. Dead young of
all species were found in experi
mental trawls soon after the
freezes. It was predicted then by
Dr. A. F. Chestnut, director of
the Institute of Fisheries Re
search, that this coming shrimp
season would be a lean one.
Any shrimp taken will bring a
good price.
All boata engaged in shrimping
must have licenses from the CAD
Department's commercial fishcriei
division at Morehead City.
