Wild, Woolly Sheep Leave Banks
Photos by Bob Mymour
The sheep were brought from Shaekleford Banks to' Harkers
Island, tied in open skiffs. The skiffs were moored in shallow water
at Harkers Island and willing hands pulled the sheep into the water, i
then guided them ashore to the waiting trueks.

The wild ponies are permitted to reaiaii on Shackleford Banks, but sheep, hofs and cattle are required
to be removed by law. It is expected that all of the livestock will be off Shackleford by the end of this

loasiai carouna nisiory was in
the making at Harkers Island and
Shacklcford Banks Monday. Wild
sheep from the banks were round
ed up with help of dogs, penned,
then ferried across Core Sound to
the island and loaded on trucks
bound for Virginia.
The roundup followed legislation
by the state requiring all stock to
be removed from the Outer Banks.
The legislators felt that the ani
mals were destroying the vege
tation that held the sand dunes
Hurricanes of recent years have
made state officials more aware
than ever of the important role
played by the Outer Banks. These
islands catch the brunt of ocean
stofms and prevent flooding of the
mainland

Students Use
New Facilities
At Marine Lab
Durham ? A newly-completed
$45,000 improvements program to
Duke University's Marine Labor
atory at Beaufort, which includes
an additional air-conditioned re
search laboratory, has been de
scribed as "invaluable" for scien
tific studies there.
This was the report from Dr. F.
John Vernberg, assistant professor
of zoology at Duke and assistant
director for research at the labora
tory. He said, too, that a dedica
tion program for the new facilities
will be held at the laboratory, but
that details are yet to be worked
out.
Other Additions
In addition to the r\ew research
lab building, the expansion includ
ed two new wings to the boathouse,
an outdoor scawater tank for salt
water fish and sea animals, and
a small fire-proof building for the
storage of gasoline, paints and
other inflamables.
Dr. Vernberg pointed out that
the now research lab building?
the third at Beaufort ? provided
space for nine additional research
workers and has temperature con
trol equipment that is of consid
erable benefit to scientists from
several countries who currently
are involved in some 22 research
projects under way there.
Controlling the temperature of
the water in the laboratory tanks.
Dr. Vernberg explained, enables
the scientists to find out many
significant facts about sea life. For
example, he said, scientists can
discover at what temperatures
various forms of sea life flourish
and breed most prolifically, and
what temperature extremes are
fatal to tbein.
Gear House
The two wings which have been
added to the boathouse include a
room for housing collecting gear-*
nets, dredges and other equip
ment; and another which more
than doubled the prior space for
a shop which contains power tools
for msking some of the apparatus
that can't be bought.
The improved facilities also
prove helpful to the some 45 stu
dents enrolled in the laboratory's
summer session. Directing the
summer program at Beaufort is
Dr. C. 'G. Bookhout, who also is
chairman of the executive com
mittee of the laboratory.
