Mr. Williams said, “We have in Carteret County, four towns who have their own Civil Defense Di rectors. They arc, Newport, More head City, Atlantic Beach and Beaufort. These towns arc re quired to submit an appendix to the basic county plan. This ap pendix consists of from one to six pages. “The directors of all these towns with the exception of one, have offered to help draw up the county plan. In the event of an emergen cy, the civil defense in these towns would operate under the control of the Carteret County Civil Defense agency.” Menhaden Run Off Hatteras Menhaden boats found some fish this week off Hatteras, but things are running late this year. The season is 10 to 12 days late, according to menhaden factory op erators. The fall was too warm tmd when the weather turned cool, boats couldn’t get out because of rain and wind. Approximately 40 boats are in Carteret waters. They fished Tuesday and Wednesday. Beau fort Fisheries processed its first large, fat menhaden Tuesday night, the kind of fish that are rich in oil. Last year they processed their first big shad Nov. 0. Whether the late season means that fishing will continue through Christmas is questionable. Boats from other states usually leave by Christmas whether the season starts early or late. The boats will fish Thanksgiving Day, weather permitting.
