The Whaling Museum Will Open in Beaufort June 1 The museum in the sharpie, AM phonso, Beaufort, will reopen Thursday, June 1, announces Gray den Paul, director. It will have a new name this year, The Whaling Museum. Mr. Paul said the former name, Museum of the Sea, had little meaning. Because the museum has many of the relics used in whaling during the 19th century on the outer banks, Mr. Paul de cided on the name, The Whaling Museum. The museum will be open week days from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 2 to 6 p.m. Sundays. The admission charge will be 25 cents per person. Elsewhere in this issue is the second part of a story on whaling, written by Mr. Paul. On display in the museum is one of the back bone sections of the whale, Little Children. Also displayed is the harpoon and gun which killed the whale, the try pot that was used in boiling out the oil,* a lamp that burned the oil, the yoke used on the oxen that hauled it and the museum itself is housed in a sharpie, a sailboat like the ones used in towing whales ashore aft er they were killed. In addition to whaling relics, there are displayed more than a hundred other objects used by the early seafaring folks of the coun ty. The museum was established last year in conjunction with Beau fort’s 251st anniversary celebra tion. It is located on the Beaufort wa terfront at the south end of Pollock street, between the Inlet inn and the postoffice.

Bell Introduces Bill On City Redevelopment A bill was introduced in the House Tuesday to allow the use of federal funds in redeveloping blighted areas in the downtown business sections of North Caro lina cities and towns. Rep. D. G. Bell of Carteret in troduced the proposal at the re quest of Governor Sanford. Mr. Bell said that he was hon ored to be asked to introduce the bill. It was one in a series of three bills Sanford plans as organiza tional tools in his economic development program. Mr. Bell said the bill Would “clarify” present laws to allow the use of urban renewal funds in redeveloping “commercial and in dustrial areas as well as residen tial areas:” “This is essential to the renova tion of downtown areas which are the heart of our economic system,” Mr. Bell said. “Most slum or blighted areas are adjacent to the business areas of our cities and serve to stifle expansion .. . of the business area.” Governor Sanford urges com munity, county, and area groups interested in sharing in the federal area redevelopment program to “start moving.’ He invites them to get in touch Jaycees Name New Delegate To Convention At the Morehead City Jaycces meeting Monday night, Joe Beam was appointed delegate to the state convention in Asheville re placing Cliff Lynch who will be unable to attend.

President Paul Cordova read a copy of a letter that has been sent to the Guilford College Junior Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of this year’s Miss North Carolina pageant.

Members were reminded that next week’s meeting will be a stag party at Bruce Goodwin’s camp near Swansboro. Former Jaycees and prospective members arc in vited, according to Paul Cordova. State Buys Land In conjunction with the state program to conserve and stabilize lands in danger of erosion in coast dl Carolina, the state last week purchased Portsmouth land from J. Hanes Lassiter and others for $60,000 and from Donza Lee Mor ris and others for $28,000. with his assistant for economic affairs, George Stephens Jr. , Said the ' governor: “The area redevelopment legislation is de signed to help progressive groups and areas help themselves by building a firm economic base on which to grow.” Under the act, also called “de pressed areas” legislation, areas designated by the federal redevel opment agency will be eligible for grants to construct industrial facil ities. They can also get loans for pub lic facilities, such as water or sewer systems. Any area can get funds for studies aimed at outlining econom ic development plans. Under the program, funds must be channeled through agencies such as county or community gov ernments, or area development groups. What constitutes eligibility for the funds has not been made clear by the federal agency. Sanford said an announcement of the definition is expected short ly “Those desiring to make use of funds should make their interest known, so that applications can be submitted as soon as it is de termined that they arc eligible,” the governor commented. In addition to the parade in Beaufort at 3:30 today, there will be displays of military equipment al the municipal park on Bogue sound, Morehead City.

Schooner Founders Photo by Bob Simpson Four persons walked away from this schooner after she fetched np south of Portsmouth ahont a week ago.

According to Cape Hatteras Coast Guardsmen, the tefroon*1* Chamber's Air Committee Contacts FAA The aviation committee of the Greater Morehead City chamber of commerce, Ben Alford, chair man, has made three recommen dations to the Federal Aviation agency, Washington, D. C., rela tive to use of air space in this area. The recommendations were made after Mr. Alford conferred with private and commercial pilots who use Beaufort-Morehcad City air port. Also studied, Mr. Alford said, were changes now proposed in Air space Docket No. 60-WA-277. Since a fatal collision between a private plane and a Marine Corps jet over Morehead City in 1959, lo cal fliers have become actively concerned with the extensive air space restricted for use by military aircraft. Recommendations made by the chamber of commerce committee are the following: 1. The outer banks from the air port to Ocracoke should not be in cluded in the restricted area, inas much as light planes use this route ferrying passengers back and forth to the outer banks. For many resi dents of the outer banks, this is about the only means of transpor tation available to them. Also, many hospital patients are flown from the outer banks to local hos pitals. 2. Due to several near-misses at less than 1,000 feet over the Beau fort-Morehead City airport, we recommend that the minimum alti tude for jet aircraft over or in the vicinity of the airport be establish ed at 3,000 feet. 3. At the present time, private and commercial planes have to ob tain clearence via direct line tele phone to take off from the Beau fort-Morehcad City airport. This direct line is paid for by the Marine Corps. We recommend the discontinu ance of the practice of using this direct line and obtaining clearance for local flights, or flights mov ing through the controlled area in VFR weather for all flights below 35,000 feet. Mr. Alford, in the letter to FAA, directed to D. D. Thomas, thanked the agency for its consideration qf the matter. * Stewart Daniels to Go To Windsor as Principal Stewart Daniels, principal of Smyrna school, has accepted the position of principal of Windsor high school in Bertie county. According to 11. L. Joslyn, county superintendent of schools, Mr. Daniels had planned to return to Smyrna, but was contacted during the past week by the Bertie county school superintendent relative to the Windsor position. Mr. Joslyn said no replacement has been found for Mr. Daniels. He expressed regret at Mr. Daniels’ leaving, terming him “one of the best principals in the state.” was en route to Plymouth, Mass., from Nassau. The Coast Guard was unable to give an explana tion as to why it ran aground.

The framed scroll, presented by W. B. Chalk, president, was a tan gible token of the Neuse valley’s “grateful appreciation” of con gressman Barden's service to this area. Mr. Barden, in his address, list ed attributes of the Neuse valley and the cities represented at the meeting, Goldsboro, Kinston, New Bern and Morehead City. He told members they should be pleased by the healthy growth of the area and thankful that it had not been a “mushroom growth” bringing many difficult problems. The elder statesman advised his listeners not to take the excellent government in the area for grant ed. He questioned overseas spend ing hy the United States and drew applause from the many business men present when he criticized government officials, in general, for wasting money. Former congressman Barden said that if it had not been for several conservatives like himself in public office “I don’t know what the wild-eyed liberals would give away.” He said that if the public studied the Neuse valley in the light of what was expected 30 years ago of the area, “we all would be opti mistic about what we can do for ourselves.” J.

The two other vice-presidents arc Charles Me Cullers, Kinston, and Bob Monte, New Bern. Mr. Campbell said his goal for the coming year will be a com plete survey of what the area has to offer. He said the group must have complete and accurate facts and figures about itself. He asked the members to ask themselves the question, “What kind of pic ture arc we painting of our own community?” Reports from officers of the asso ciation in the different cities were given. Mr. Chalk gave a report from the Morehead City area, com bined with an overall report of the association’s progress. Closing his address, Mr. Chalk reminded folks to “always be alert to talk to any leaders in industry who by birth, education, friendship —or otherwise—have some relation with our area. A personal contact through someone whom you know may be the direct approach to ob taining the next industry or busi ness venture.” Both Mr. Chalk and mayor George Dill of Morehead City point ed out that the new convention fa cilities at the Biltmore hotel should bring much new business to this area.
