TWO SECTIONS FOURTEEN PAGES C&D Board Acts On Fish Matters • Restrictions Put Back On Sponge Crabs Crab Dredges Banned After July 25, 1963 The state commercial fisheries committee at Wrightsville Beach this week heard W. R. Hewitt, W. R. Carter and Elroy Lennon of Shallotte ask that people not be permitted to take shrimp for their own consumption in Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties. They were told that this is a law that can be changed only by the legislature. They appealed to oth er ocean counties to work for re peal of the law and commended fisheries commissioner C. G. Hol land on the fine job he is doing. Roy Watson, Lowlands, and Earl Holton, Vandemere, said they felt that refuse from Cherry Point air station was polluting the Neuse river and was detrimental to fish ing. The C&D director, Hargrove Bowles, was asked to confer on the matter with the State Stream Sanitation committee. Mr. Watson and Mr. Holton com mended the department for closing waters in which small shrimp were being caught and suggested a ban on night shrimping during the sum mer. (The Institute of Fisheries Research has been authorized to make a study of the brown spotted shrimp, which is caught at night, with a view to making regulations concerning night shrimping.) Commercial fisheries action tak en by the C&D board: • Made permanent a regulation which bans use of gill nets of less than 3‘/ti-inch mesh in Albemarle Sound and Chowan river (regula tion 64). • Restored restrictions on taking sponge crabs. The fisheries com missioner, at his discretion, may allow 10 per cent of total crab catch to be sponge crabs. • Banned use of crab dredges in state waters after July 25, 1963. • Banned taking of clams by dredging, kicking or by any other -- pdwfer device east of a fine in Core sound from flasher beacon JB, thtL northeast point of Drum shoal, foT* lowing the Macons to the north east point of Hodges reef at the beacon. • Rejected a petition requesting May 1 as the fixed opening date of the shrimp season. • Permitted setting of fish traps and fish boxes for the taking of etels and catfish in Perquimans river and its tributaries below the highway bridge on route 17 at Hertford. • Authorized sale of the state vessel, Atlantic, to the highest bid der, the return of the Chowan and Roanoke to the US Fish and Wild life Service from whom the craft were leased, and authorized the commissioner to obtain, on a lease basis, launches in the 22 to 25-foot class. • Referred to a special C&D committee, to be appointed by the director, an application from the North, Carolina National Guard for conveyance from C&D of 35 acres of section base property in More head City. • Approved the first North Car olina Crab Derby at Morehead City Aug. 25-26.

Recently, however, the grass plot between the walk and curb was cut. Two large magnolia trees in the yard, if located at Orton plantation or some similar spot, would be termed tourist attractions. One is said to be over a hundred years old. The trees are brave soldiers in a battle for survival. A tree surgeon could save them for future generations. Not only abandoned places, but business places, too, are graced with weeds. This is a building in the business section of Arendell street. Since this picture was taken two weeks ago, 3-foot high weeds have been cut. The urns hold prize weeds. Miss Amy Muse's New Book Relates Story of Chadwicks Just off the press is a notable historical work by Miss Amy Muse of Beaufort entitled Grandpa Was a Whaler, A Story of Carteret Chadwicks. Because many of the present-day residents of Beaufort and vicinity are Chadwicks or of Chadwick de scent, the 126-page book promises to be of wide interest. The author’s mother was Lizzie Hellen Chadwick—but the book is more than a geneaology. A story of Beaufort could not be written without Chadwicks liberally sprink led through it, and to know the early Chadwicks is to know the story of whaling, planting, sailing, government, education and re ligion. Included in the book is a photo static copy of the will of Samuel Chadwick, dated Oct. 4, 1749. Quoted are other wills and deeds, census recuras oz uurzwzcib itam 1790 to 1880, information from Chadwick family Bibles, location of remains of Chadwicks in eastern Carolina cemeteries, and a listing of vessels calling at the port of Beaufort who had Chadwick men as masters. The work is annotated and would he of tremendous value to anyone interested in history or geneaology. The books are now on sale at $3 per paperbound copy or $4 cloth bound. A limited number have been printed. They are available from Miss Muse directly and are expected to be on sale soon at a downtown business, the place to be announced. Miss Mnse is well-known for her historical works. She wrote a his tory of the Methodists in Beaufort, has made literary contributions to the county historical society of which she is a member and was formerly affiliated with The Beau ion rnwii New Boy Scout Camp Will Be Located on Gales Creek James Brakes Gets Suspended Term Tuesday A conviction of assault with a deadly weapon brought a three months suspended jail sentence Tuesday to James Brakes in coun ty recorder’s court. Brakes was charged on a warrant with Billy Carlysle and Harry Dean Bratch er but they were not prosecuted. Brakes' jail term was suspended on payment of $25 and costs and three years’ good behavior. The defendant appealed and the case was transferred to the next term of superior court with bond set at $100. Brittian Oxcndine appeared be fore judge Lambert R. Morris to answer charges of breaking, en tering and larceny. He was given a two-year jail sentence, suspend ed on payment of $25 and costs and three years’ good behavior. Also drawing a suspended jail sentence was David Bittner who was convicted of non-support. His term, one year, was suspended on payment of costs and $10 a week to the welfare department for the use and benefit of his children. A warrant listing three defend ants charged Tom Tew, Roger Ragsdale and Paul Kozma with assault with a deadly weapon. The state did not prosecute Kozma and Ragsdale. Tew’s cases were con tinued until next week. Five speeding offenders were ordered to pay court costs. They were Robert Davis Jeffares, Ter ry N. Mautsby. Jack Homer Bass, Gerald Gordon Mason, and Phillip Ray Fulcher. Two other defendants found ex ceeding the speed limit a little m.rc expensive.

A motion was passed amending the old dog ordinance by striking out section 10 and amending sec tion 11 to read “any dog” instead of “females in heat.” The motion passed established a new section 10 which reads “pack dogs.” The ordinance, effective Monday morning, will permit extermina tion of dogs running in packs that cannot be caught by ordinary means and impounded. Packs of dogs are defined as three or more dogs. These dogs will be shot on sight by Morehead City policemen. If the dogs are on private property, they will be herded on to public property where they will be sum marily shot. It was decided that dogs could be shot on private prop erty when permission was obtain ed. The board decided to have the town purchase a .22 calibre rifle with which to shoot the dogs. A regulation police pistol they said, would be too dangerous, due to the possibility of ricochet. Also included in the ordinance is the provision that dogs that are properly licensed and have bad the necessary shots must be re stricted to their owner’s property. These dogs will not be allowed in public places or along the streets of Morehead City except when they are on leash. To enforce this measure, cita tions compelling the dog owner to appear in court and answer for his dog’s violation will be issued. Issuing the citations will be Bids Opened The State Highway department opened bids Monday on 25 projects, including a bid on enlarging the ferry slip at Atlantic. The bid was $4,900 by the Twin City Dredg m go., mmm. Housewife Reports Garden Adventure Mrs. B. 0. Ketner,' who lives five miles from the Morehead City limits on highway 70, al most stepped on a mighty live wire last Friday morning. Mrs. Ketner was walking in her vegetable garden when she happened to look down at her feet. She saw a rattlesnake. “I- practically stepped on it,” she said. “It was no more than 4 inches from my foot.” Calm, cool and collected as could be, Mrs. Ketner backed slowly off from the snake, picked up a bush-axe, an instrument with a long sharp blade, and kill ed the snake. Upon examination of the snake, it was discovered that it had 15 rattles and a button. It measur ed over 5 feet in length. Algie V. Bell Finishes College With Honors Algie Velmer Bell will be grad uated from Bryant College of Busi ness Administration, Providence, II. I., at its U8th commencement to day with the degree of bachelor of business administration — magna cum laud. Mr. Bell is the son of Mrs. Billie Mae Willis, Smyrna. He is mar ried and is making his home with his family at Cumberland, R. I. A graduate of Smyrna high school, Mr. Bell won these scholas tic honors at Bryant: was named to the dean’s list and received the golden key for high scholastic achievement. ' He was treasurer of the Mas quers Dramatic society, and a member of the Marketing club, de ceived the Roger W. Babson award, a gold medal inscribed “To the senior in the School of Business Administration — Accountancy and Finance who is distinguished for the qualities of sound judgment, vision and systematic business habits.” This award was presented to Mr. Bell at class day exercises on the College Green yesterday. Mr. Bell received the silver medal for second highest general scholarship m the School of Busi ness Administration — manage ment major. Morehead City policemen, as well as the policeman who will accom pany the dog catcher. The board decided to have the dog catcher accompanied by a po liceman because he is often halted in his line of duty by dog owners who will not permit him on their property. Speaking about the motion, May or Dill termed it “an extreme measure for an extreme . condi tion. “People who have dogs should welcome this," he said. “We stand the possibility of a rabies epidem ic, and we have been extremely fortunate that such has not occur red,” mayor Dill said. CSrD Acts on Recommendations Of Commercial-Sport stishing Group The Board of Conservation and Development, meeting at Wrights ville Beach this week, heard rec ommendations of the specially-ap pointed sports-commercial fishing committee and made recommen dations of its own. Most of the recommendations of the special committee were ac cepted and some have already been carried out. The special committee, appoint ed in January, and headed by Charles Davis, Bbaufort, and Turn er Battle, Rocky Mount, requested in May the following (appearing in parentheses is what has been done about the recommendation): • $30,000 from the general as sembly for a survey of commer cial and sports fishing. (The gen eral assembly provided these funds.) % • Codification of fisheries regu lations. (Assistant attorney gen eral Andrew Jones recodified the regulations. They, have now been HkMt I# AM CM) dfNWfi MM* Purchase Transaction Nears Completion Negotiation* are now in the final stage for purchase of a site for a Boy Scout camp on Gales Creek, west of More head City. Dr. S. W. Hatcher, chairman of the Carteret district, Boy Scouts of America, said Wednesday that with collec tion'of some more money, purchase of the camp site is assured. The site consists of 105 acres with 2,500 feet fronting on Gales Creek. Dr. Hatcher said the land will be bought from Walter Tcich and Blaine Baugus, who, he said have offered it at a “most reasonable price.” Purchase of the land and de velopment of the waterfront is ex pected to cost a total of $10,000. The camp will be operat J by the East Carolina council, but money to acquire it is being raised by the Carteret district. The coun cil encompasses 21 eastern Caro lina counties and 13,000 Scouts. At present, the council has only one camp, Camp Charles at Bailey. Dr. Hatcher said this one camp is inadequate for the entire council. Only 10 to 12 per cent of East Caro lina council boys have been camp ing when at least 40 per cent should be enjoying camp experi ence, the district chairman said. It is hoped that the new camp will go a long way toward correct ing the situation. The Carteret camp will accommodate 200 boys at one time, who will pay about $16 a week per boy. Cabins, a mess hall and other facilities will be built. See CAMP, Page 2 Mother Pulls . Son Iron River Johnny Hancock, tl, was saved from a watery death Monday aft ernoon when his mother rescued him from North river where he had floundered into a hole. Mrs. Elmer Giilikin, Otway, the boy's mother, said he was playing in the water with goggles. He could swim a little, but got into trouble when he couldn’t touch bottom. Seeing the boy's predicament, Mrs. Giilikin, who hadn’t been swimming in years, rushed in the water and kicked him to the sur face as he was going down a third time. She managed to get him ashore and he was rushed to the office of Dr. Theodore Salter, Beaufort, where he was given emergency treatment before being take to Morehead City hospital by ambulance. He was reported to be doing well Tuesday. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HYMN?

(Such a school will be conducted in September and all fisheries regulation offic ers, as well as applicants for jobs, will attend). • The commercial fisheries di vision should be given sufficient personnel. (The legislature pro vided funds for an additional su pervisor, three more inspectors, airplane pilot and plane with all necessary equipment. The divi sion now has two planes.) • Catching of trash fish solely for animal food plants or indus trial use should be stopped. (This recommendation is being handled in recodification of the regulations 1 Defendant Pays $100 Fine, Court Costs Monday Willie John Eby, Camp Lejrune, pleaded guilty to drunk driving charges Monday in Morehead City recorder’s court and was fined $100 and court costs by judge Her bert O. Phillips. Another defendant charged with drunk driving, Paul William Smith Jr., Hampton, Va., requested a jury trial and his case was trans ferred to the next term of superior court. Bond for his appearance was set at $150. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Stanley of Bur lington were defendants in cases charging the couple with passing 10 worthless checks totaling $105. Judgment of the court was that they honor the checks and pay court costs. Evie McArthur Taylor, Newport, was the defendant in a case that was remanded from superior court to recorder’s court for compliance with an original recorder’s court judgment. Taylor had been charg ed with driving without an opera tor’s license and was fined $25 and costs, which he appealed. He later withdrew his appeal.

See CITY COURT, Page 3 Sweet Potato Growers to Vote Sweet potato growers will go to the polls Sept. 23 to vote on a pro* gram to promote North Carolina sweet potatoes. The referendum has been requested by the North Carolina Sweet Potato Association, Inc., and is authorized by the State Board of Agriculture. If the referendum passes, there will be a two cents per bushel as sessment on commercial sweet po tatoes and two cents per one-hun dred pounds for all sweet potatoes sold for canning purposes. E. E. Godwin of Dunn, president of the potato association, reports that finances are needed to get more people eating North Carolina grown sweet potatoes. It is felt that this promotional program will reverse the down-trend in acreage add consumption of sweet pota toes in the state. If approved, an estimated twen ty to twenty-five thousand dollars will be collected the first year. In three years, growers will have the opportunity to vote on the pro gram again. w irawiers, muiuruuaia «uu tyboats should not go within 1,000 feet on either side of fishing piers. (Question has been raised as to the right of the state to make regu lations in the interest of a private property owner, such as a sports fishing pier operator. Therefore this recommendation is now being studied by the attorney general’s office.) • Sports fishermen, pier fishing operators and party boatmen should be given representation on fisheries advisory commission. (Two vacancies occurred on the commission July 1. Garland Ful cher, Oriental, was named to suc ceed William Mason. W. A.
