Cpl. M. S. Parvin of the highway patrol presided. Mayor W. H. Pot ter of Beaufort gave the welcome. D. G. Bell, Carteret's representa tive in the legislature, explained why the law was enacted. He said he regrets the lack of good safety legislation passed by the last legis lature, but hopes this measure will be of some help in curbing acci dents. He explained that, among other purposes, the law will help curb accidents and death on the high ways and will help make North Carolinians more aware of high way safety. George Crowley, driver educa tion representative, explained the point system and how it will work. He said that 35 states work on point systems similar to the one the Tar heel state has adopted. Four per cent of the drivers are responsible for 38 per cent of the accidcnts, Mr. Crowley pointed out. He showed a chart telling that the greater the number of violations on a person's record the greater the number of accidcnts. He said the new law was aimed at such chronic violators. Under the new law a driver is charged with points for certain moving violations. The point sys tem does not include violations covered by other legislation, such as speeding or manslaughter. If a driver is involved in an acci dent combining several violations, his points are taken from the vio lation having the larger number. Drivers arc warned that out-of state violations are also counted. When a driver accumulates four points he is sent a warning letter by the Department of Motor Ve hicles. When he acquires seven points he is called for a conference with a department hearing officer and may, voluntarily, attend a driver improvement clinic. If he attends the clinic and successfully completes it, three points are erased from his record. Upon the acquisition of 12 points a driver's license is suspended. Un der the first offense this is for a period of 60 dayi. After the first See NEW LAW, Page t ?

A specially equipped mo tor vessel, the Silver Bay, is ploughing the waves off the shores of North Carolina from Frying Pan Lightship to Cape Lookout in depths from 10 to 100 fathoms searching for the potential to develop the North Caro lina commercial fishing in dustry. The cruise of the Silver Bay, op erated by the Bureau of Commer cial Fisheries, US Fish and Wild life Service, is the first of four which will take place within the coming year to ascertain the po tential for the development of the commcrcial fishing industry in North Carolina at the request of the North Carolina Fisheries Asso ciation. Already, at midpoint of the current cruise, two strong evi dences of new fisheries for the State have been found ? one of them an exciting one. Of very great interest to the coas tal industry is the finding of traces of an extensivu bed of scallops east of Core Banks. Taken in shrimp trawls by the Silver Bay was a large quantity of scallops measur ing four inches across the shell. The Silver Bay which, to the con sternation of North Carolina com mcrcial fishermen is based at Brunswick, Ga., made 70 drags in North Carolina waters on its way to Morchcad City where it arrived on Monday. It set forth on the sec ond leg of its first cruise early Tuesday morning. A similar fishery was discovered by the Silver Bay in the Gulf of Mexico recently with the size of the scallops only half of those of North Carolina. That fishery is now be ing developed in the Gulf of Mexico and the meats from these scallops bring the fishermen nine dollars per gallon. At th? same time fishermen out of Atlantic have begun their own experiments in the scallop fishery, procuring a special scallop rake for the efficient taking of the scal lop. It is the first time such an experiment has been done in our waters, but F. J. Captiva, the party chief of the Silver Bay, says that on the second exploratory trip of the Bureau of Commercial Fish cries a special scallop rake will be a part of the equipment for a thorough analysis of the scallop bed potential. The technologists of the work party of the Silver Bay will be working with the Atlantic fisher men on the current trip, ending on Sept. 30, to assist in getting pre liminary information for reference in their intensive work, to take place the latter part of November and the first two weeks of Decem ber. The second trace found in tlie first part of the current cruise of the research vessel is a large indi cation of trash fish, which is a growing industry in all parts of the Atlantic Seaboard. These fish have no edible commcrcial value, but are processed for animal feeds and fertilizer. The emphasis in the exploratory effort of the current cruise by the Fish and Wildlife vessel will be to ascertain the migratory pattern of our shrimp population. The brown spotted variety is now leaving our inlets for deep ocean waters. It is the belief of the commercial fisher men that, should this pattern be established, the season could be ex tended considerably by the taking of these shrimp at sea, once their See RESEARCH, Page 2 Ministerial Association Names Five Committeemen I ommiuec chairmen were named by the County Ministerial Associa tion at their meeting Monday at the civic center.
