ALL WHO READ READ THE NEWS-TIMES CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES 47th YEAR, NO. 103. TWO SECTIONS SIXTEEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26. 1958 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Robert Lee Humber Will Give Annual Report Here Shipbuilding Firm Adds to Its Line For Year '59 Morehead City Shipbuilding Corp., in its December newsletter, announces the addition of two new boat* to its building line? a yacht and a head boat, each of which can be rebuilt as fishing boats, since they will have standard traw ler hulls. Also to be turned out by the firm, located at the east end of Bridges Street, Morehead City, is a new "modern and efficient ahrimp trawler . . . which will give the owner greater return on his money." The shipbuilding company looks forward to 1959 with optimism. The newsletter comments. "The signs of the times are favorable. Slowly, but steadily, seafood is becoming a more important part of the diet of the average American. Our na tional population is on the increase and per capita income is high. We are not predicting a boom ... but the future does look bright." The shipbuilding corporation re ports that when it was delivering more than two trawlers a week for over a year, remodeling of the yard and designing of new and better boats "was always difficult and sometimes impossible. "But now these things are being accomplished," the newsletter re ports. "Work on a number of traw ler refinements, new models and new boats is well under way." During Helene, SO feet of the trawler shed, as w?U as the wet ittfijc docks, Tirlitt' rtnpmd' "office buildings were damaged. Although the catastrophe took its toll, it expedited remodeling of the shipyard, according to R. C. Kir cbofer, president. Relative to the shrimp industry, for which Morehead City Shipbuild ing has been turning out Hattcras trawlers, the firm says, "The fu ture of the ahrimp industry? all the way from the building of the trawlers to the marketing of the processed product? is brighter to day than it has been for many months, or even years. Both the total catch and the catch-per-boat is on the increase. The demand < for shrimp is strong; and the prices on the whole are good." ?

Mr. Eisenhower continued, "The Christmas message of peace on earth, good will toward men is not an ideal of Christianity alone nor limited to Americans and people of the free world. "It is matched in yearning in the inermost thoughts of all peoples. It is a universal, driving spark that lights the soul of mankind." Immediately after the president delivered his Christmas message, he pushed the button that set aglow a towering Christmas tree from a mountain forest near Libby, Mon tana.

Commissioner Holland said that oystering operations were greater there than anticipated. Tremendous catches were made and as a result practically all of the marketable oysters have been caught. Back Bay will close Jan. 1. Tonging operations only are per mitted there. Rose Bay, Mouse Harbor and Jones Bay arc still open. Commissioner Holland terms the current oyster season "the best in years", lie attributes the good catches to the state's diligent oys ter planting program. "We've got ten a lot of compliments on it from the oystermen," he said. On the first day Point of Marsh area was opened 18 boats averaged 21 tubs per boat. Price per tub was $2.75. On the same day in Deep Bay, Hyde County, boats took 25 tubs per boat and the oysterman got $3 to $3.25 per tub. Both Point of Marsh and Deep Bay were planted two years ago. They are open to dredges. The fisheries commissioner said the planting program will continue next year, starting about March 1. Both shells and spat will be plant ed. Young spat mature to mar ketable size in two to three years. Point of Marsh has proved to be - a good producing area in spite of the fact that many oysters there were killed by the nor'easter in October. Some oyster beds were hit worse than others, the commis sioner said. Scallop catches arc very good in Boguc Sound where dredging for the delicacy is permitted this year. Scallop fishermen are getting $2.50 to $3 per gallon (shucked). Scallops may be taken by rake or scoop in Core Sound, but catches there are light, Commissioner Hol land reported. The shrimp season during the past year wasn't anything to shout about. Catches pickcd up in Octo ber and November. Concluding his comments.
