In his box he found several
magazines and a note requesting
him to see the postmaster. The
Fort Banning- postmaster met
him with a sheepish grin and a
tattered envelope. His allotment
check. $176 worth, had been half
eaten by a choosey, mercenary
squirrel which had somehow
gained entrance to his box.
Now, while sergeant Sinoyer
tries to convince his wife that
his tale is true, the Army is
making arrangements to replace
the check. The embarrassed post

G. B. Talbot, director of the Bu
reau of Commercial Fisheries la
boratory, Pivers Island, has been
transferred to Tiburon Marine la
boratory, Tiburon, Calif., a few
miles north of S«n Francisco. He
will leave here Oct. 5 to assume his
duties as director there, where re
search is geared toward sportsfish
ing.
Mr. Talbot, born in Alberta, Ca
nada, came to the federal fisheries
laboratory at Pivers Island in 1950
as chief of shad investigations. The
staff of this research group was
given, in I960, a unit citation
award by the secretary of the in
terior, for its accomplishments.
Mr. Talbot was promoted to la
boratory director in 1952. Since that
time, all new buildings have re
placed the old ones and funds have
been made available this year to
construct an additional laboratory
to house the radiobiological pro
gram.
During the past ten years, re
search at the Pivers Island lab has
steadily expanded, and in addition
to the spad and radiobiological pro
grams, research is carried out on
menhaden, striped bass, and blue
crabs.
The lab is headquarters for the
bureau’s statistical program in
North Carolina, Florida and Geor
gia. The staff has increased from
23 in 1950 to 53 at present.
In 1958 Mr. Talbot was asked by
the food and agricultural organiza
tion of the United Nations to assist
Pakistan in its studies of Indian
shad. During a leave of absence
from the Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries*, he worked three months
in Pakistan and- India.
Mr. Talbot received his bachelor
and master’s degrees in fisheries
at the University of Washington in
Seattle. Prior to coming to Beau
fort he was employed by the Inter
national Pacific Salmon Fisheries
commission in a study of the sock
eye salrnop of the Fraser river.
Mr. Talbot and his family are
members of St. Paul’s Episcopal
church, Beaufort, where he has
served two terms on the vestry and
was also on the building and fi
nance committees. At present, he
is chairman of the Beaufort school
committee.
Mr. Talbot’s successor at Pivers
Island has not yet been named.

banks from Portsmouth island
southward Friday afternoon and

"That's the only way to see the
banks," The choppers landed fre
quently.
"Many of the people on the com
mission had no idea of the serious
ness of the situation on the banks
from Barden’s inlet southward,"
Miss Willis remarked.
Mr. Gaskill, Cedar Island, was
most helptul in describing to the
commission members the condition
Of the banks now as compared with
the years prior to 1933, she added.

will NOT be transferred to the new
books, Mr. Willis emphasizes. A
now registration is being sought be
cause the present books are out of
date. When books are as old as the
county’s, it’s eas'y to allow people
to vote who are not registered and
to allow questionable voting prac
(ices to creep into the system, ac
cording to the elections board.
Mr. Willis said. “The board of
elections is making every effort to
assure the citizens of the county
fair and honest elections. Many of
the old registration books have be
come so filled with names of people
who have died, moved away, or
otherwise become disqualified, it is
felt a new registration is the best
way to secure a correct list of qua
lified voters.
“This means much work and
many headaches for our board and
election officers. We ask for your
full cooperation in this undertaking
and in all other requirements for
clean, honest elections.”
Registrars will be at their polling
places Saturdays, Oct. 6. 13, 20 and
27. Each voter will register in his
own precinct. Voters who cannot
register Saturday may do so by
calling at the home of the registrar
at any “reasonable hour” between
Oct. 6 and Oct. 27.
The elections board urges people
not to wait until Oct. 27 to register.
“No one can register after Oct. 27
and no one can vote in November,
unless he rgisters,” Mr. Willis em
phasizes.

a curve and turned over several
times. Two passengers were thrown
