GOVERNOR 600 SCOTT PRESENTED FLAG OF ST. GEORGE .■'.vw;. i is Lt. Gov. Robert W. Scott said Tuesday he was “definitely in- , terested" in becoming North . Carolina’s chief executive, but denied he was a candidate now. "If the tides and water aro right, I might jump in,” Scott said during a question-and- answer session at the annual installation banquet of the Dare County Jaycces. ' Scott said a definite decision to run for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination will not be made until later in the year and certainly after (he legi.slature udjoiirn.s. He said he would have "to sit lown and ,1 take a hard look” at the politica' (* situation. * Scott spoke in a folksy man ner to a crowd of several hundred at the installation banquet of the .service organi zation. Few doubted that ho was campaigning for the job his late father held before be coming a United States senator Scott, Dare Rep. .Archie Bur- viis, and .Sen. Ashley Fiitrell flew hero from Raleigh in a Texas Gulf Sulphur Coiq). plane. Scott endeared himself to the local Jaycee.s with a suggestion that the next state convention of the organization bo held at * Nags Head "because the food is so good.” But ho insisted quickly that the Jaycees group ' is "much more than a meet and eat club.” He .said it “believes in doing something—it believes in constructive acticn.” One blunt question was whethei- he was going to bo the state’s next governor. Ho re plied that was “one of those ramors that leaked out of my campaign headquarters.” Hu said some five million Nortli »Carolinian? “will have somo- jJFthing to" say about it.” In aiKSwer to other questions, Scott snil he believed a deep water channel would ho of grrn' 1 benefit to this area, that it will | not be too long off baforc East | Carolina College becomes a j university, and. tlial issues in the^ ne.xt election will deprin! largely- upon what the legisla- [ ture does, particularly for j roads and secondary education.

MYSTERY SHIP UNCOVERED AGAIN — A mystery ship has re-aiipcai-ed from its sandy grave on tlie beach of Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge near the northern end of Hatteras I.sland. Timbers and hulk of the old wooden vessel are shown in two sections ns uncovered during a recent northeaster! Balfour Baum, NFS ranger of Jlantoo was the first to report the re-appear ance of the unidentifieil vessel. Although David Stick’s “Graveyard of the Atlantic,” lists several vessels being lost on'Pea Island during the late 19th Centiny, the book does not identify the name of this old shiiJWTock. It is located at the fii-st NFS parking droa on N.C. 12, south of Oregon Inlet, and may be seen from a .nearby ocean overlook of the National .Seashore. Offshore about j 100 yards may also be seen the boiler of a Federal Transport, tho;“Oriental"'which was wrecked in 1802.
