State Ports' Business Shows Large Increase in One Year (Editor’s Note: Recently expanded, North Carolina state ports al ready are overcrowded and approach a boom with record business activity. These figures and a glimpse Into the future are presented In the last of a four-part series). By FRED A. PARKER United Press International Wilmington—After eight years of operation. North Carolina’s state ports are in the black and on the edge of a boom. Tonnage, revenue and number of ships set an all-time record for the first six months of this year. Additional warehouses not yet com pleted will catapault these figures still more by the end of the year. Still more facilities are needed. “We finished our open wharf in January,” state ports director D. Leon Williams told a group of vis iting newsmen. “I had said be fore completion it would be over crowded in 90 days. We had to turn away businses in 30 days.” Comparative figures for the first six months of 1959 and 1960 show ed this growth. “The ports are self-sustaining in sofar as operating expenses are concerned," comptroller Ruff De Morenead city 1950 1960 Increase Tonnage . 211,887 288,577 76,690 Revenue .. $126,002 $184,524 $58,522 Ships -.,. 110 144 . 34 Wilmington Tonnage . 117,881 171,995 54,114 Revenue .$250,432 $410,233 $159,801 Ships .. 120 157 37 Combined Tonnage . 329,768 460,572 130,804 Revenue $376,434 $594,757 $218,323 Ships „. 230 301 71 Pet.

Their main discussion was how they could raise money for their schol arship fund. Each year they loan $250 to a worthy senior who is going to col lege. It was decided to have sev eral barbecue suppers to raise this money because the one they had last year was so successful. Last year's officers elected San dra Whitehurst, their past presi dent, FHA Queen. After the foot Vane said. “We still have to have a state subsidy to maintain an op erating margin. And, of course, capital improvements must come from state funds. Private enter prise is not interested In ports be cause of insufficient return on in vestments." State support probably will have to continue indefinitely because of intense competition between states for additional industry and busi ness based on port facilities. North Carolina's comparatively new ports are more than holding their own. “I doubt if aiiy port in the world is growing as fast as purs by com parison,” Williams said. “Indus try moving South will continue to provide expansion.” Williams does not, however, an ticipate expansion to major world port status in the foreseeable fu ture. “I see great expansion in the next 10 years, but other ports are ball game, the FHA is sponsoring a dance. Everyone is invited. Last week’s game was a shock and a disappointment to some of us but we must all learn to take our losses with our wins. Our boys played well but they just weren’t used to much opposition. Tonight they will be ready for anything. I’m snre everyone will come out tonight to start them back on their winning streak. This week’s Miss Senior is Della Marie Conner, better known to all of us as “Josie.” She was born growing, too,” he said. "Our basic responsibility is to serve industry and agriculture in the state. We could not continue to render the personalized service which is our strong point now if we grew to major proportions.” But the kind of growth vital to continued progress in the state’s economy, from the mountains to the sea, was plainly visible in the activity at North Carolina’s' giant step forward, its state docks at Morehead City and Wilmington. Lawyer Tells Fib, Son Exposes with Question Memphis (AP)—A busy lawyer strode into the waiting room at his office, trailed by his young son. Around the crowded room, heads lifted hopefully. The counselor stopped at his sec retary’s desk and said, in ringing tones: “Afraid I’ll have to be out in the county all afternoon,, taking depositions.” The patient waiters wilted. The lawyer marched sternly toward the door. At this point his son spoke up plaintively. “Daddy,” he asked, “does that mean we aren’t going fishing after all?” on May 18, 1942 to Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Conner of Harlowe. She is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 124 ’ pounds. “I’m Sorry” is her favorite song and she likes to hear Brenda Lee and Fats Domino sing. Josie’s pet peeve is a noisy school bus. Her memorable event is the Junior Senior banquet. While in school she has been a bus driver. After she finishes high school she plans to get a job. Mr. Senior is Leaton Craig Dud ley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leaton Dudley. Craig was born on Aug. 8, 1942. He has brown hair and blue eyes and is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 153 pounds. “Blue Bird of Happiness” is his favorite son^ and his favorite sing ers are Fats Domino and Brenda Lee. In the food line he likes shrimp and fish. His pet peeve is anti-sociable girls and his hobby is cars. Craig’s memorable events are the last three state championships and the Junior-Senior banquets. He would like another memorable event in the Elwood hotel in High Point. While in school Craig has been in the Science dub, 4-H club, and a school bus driver. After high school he plans to con tinue his schooling in the Army.
