Fish Division
ToGet Boats
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel,

Raleigh, Aug. 24.-Two new motor
cruisers for the Commercial Fish
cries Division of the Department of
Conservation and Development are
soon to be purchased to replace two
old boats that have been in use for
almost 40 years, it was announced to-
day by Captain John A. Nelson, of
Morehead City, chief of the division.
The two new boats will cost $4,000,
of which amount 55 per cent will be
borne by the State and As per cent
will come from a grant from the
PWA. The States portion was includ-
ed in the bond issue authorized by the
recent special session of the General
Assembly.
Each of the. new cruisers will be
38 feet long with a beam of II feet,
six inches, powered by Diesel motor
capable of driving the boat at least
Is miles an hour. These will replace
the "Pamlico' and the "Albemarle, -
which have been in use so many years
that they are no longer considered
safe and seaworthy.
Each of the new boats will be in
command Of a deputy fisheries COM
missioner and will be used in enforc-
ing the fishing laws in the manv
sounds and rivers. These deputy COM
missioners have been exceedingly
handicapped during the past few
years by having these old, slow boats
making it impossible for them to
cover as much territory as they should
Captain Nelson feels that the work
of his division will be made much
more effective when these two new
cruisers are put into service. They
are expected to be delivered before
, the commercial fishing season gets
j under way this fall.
Captain Nelson will continue to use
| ''The Hatteras" for patrol work in
the ocean outside the sounds, to keep
check on the large steam trawlers
which come down from New England
and fish off the North Carolina
coast each fall, winter and spring
The law prohibits their fishing with
ing less than three miles from the
shore line.

College Will
Teach Safety
DAILY Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 24-Dean Cevil A. Jar
man, of Atlantic Christian college:
Wilson, brought about Is of his girls,
most of them teachers, to Raleigh
Tuesday and talked in the safety cam
paign for better driving in North
Carolina.
The dean represents the only insti-
tuition which has put into it's courses
this very modern way of life. That
institution, seeing menace of the reck-
lessly driven machine, not only has
introduced safety education into it's
curriculum, but takes the CIR and
shows them as something worth saw
ing.
Primarily, this institution is concern
ed in making the highways safe. 1t is
endorsing the program to widen the
routes and add the shoulders. 1t is
working with engineers who are con-
cerned primarily with properly laid
cut thoroughfares and correctly
drawn curves But the college is
even more concerned with a human
attitude which does not stop merely
with recoiling at the unconscionable
slaughter on the highway; but gets
out and in a highly missionary mood
does something about it.
Revenue Commissioner Allen J.
Maxwell, under whose administration
the killing, the manning and the saw
ing go on, finds much to make him
happy over the evidently aroused cit
izenship. North Carolina in past
years has been marked over the ma
ton for the murderous record of its
automobile drivers. The State held
the supremacy a long time, the larg-
est number of killings in proportion to
gasoline consumed. There is a big
reduction for the first seven months
of the year. There were 1,123 killed
in this State during the II months pre-
ceding. North Carolina seems des-
tined to take a fall from the evil
eminence to which it had earlier ris-
en- by reason of it's wholesale high
way killings.
The safety campaign for the State
gets its biggest impetus from the Of
flee of Major Arthur Fulk and his as
sistant director Ronald A. Iocutt.
who carries these killings to the peo-
pie where they can be shocked by
them.

bury to see him lots of Sundays. I
left for home on Tuesday, August -,
my birthday, and Mr.. Bost went home
the following Friday. I received seve-
al letters from him as we wrote to
each other occasionally.

going to Salisbury ona short trip, just

come and spend the night with him.
He answered my letter saying for me
to come, so I went. The next morning
we attended the city court where
Clyde Gooch of Oxford, former

we rode around a while and went back

San he sent me Christmas card, and
ever since he died, they have sent one
to me. Jesse had not long been mar
ried when I visited them, and he and
his wife lived with his parents. Last
night Jesse told me he had a fine boy
six years old.
The reason he was in Oxford is
that the town is having several
streets tarred and rocked and Jesse
drives the tar truck. He said his
mother was getting along very well.
He showed me his fathers watch
chain, and I well remembered his
