Bring Vacationists

Colonel Roscoe Turner yester-
day notified Walter Cartier. secre-
tary of the Wrightsville Beach
Chamber of Commerce, that he
would be unaole to bring the second
plane load of Hoosier vacation
lists" here this weekend because
of a business trip to Mississippi.
Turner was scheduled to arrive
his afternoon with more weekend
tourists from Indianapolis, Ind, in
his twin-easined luxury liner to
follow up the three hour trip made
recently. The flying Colone, plans
to make these trips a regular tea-
ture, and it is possible that he
will fly here again in the near fu-
ture.
Cartier stated that he had re-
ceived several letters from inter-
ested parties ir the midwest re
questing information about the
facilities here. One party from
Michigan is particularly interested
in flying here in light planes along
with several friends.

if other inlets are Widened and
deepened.
Colonel C. w. Gillette. District
Engineer at Wilmington, who has
spent years of study on this sub
ject. recently said:
Few persons realize it but the
work we do on waterways and IN
lets has more to do with the propa-
CATION and preservation of fish and
shell fish than all other activities
combined. Inlets permit fish from
the ocean to seek shallow and
eresner waters for protection and
spawning. Oysters and clans must
have the proper proportions OF
fresh and salt waters or we have no
oysters and CLANS. You may have
good oyster bottom but the right
salinity must be present too, or no
oysters"
Army Engineers Investigate
It was announced a few days ago
by Colonel Gillette that his office
will make an aerial survey OF the
Carolina coast and inlets at an
early date to determine present
conditions ard to learn what
changes have occurred during re-
cent years.
Whatever measures may be
taken to expand the industry in
North Carolina they will benefit nct
only the fishermen in the eastern
section but also the inhabitants Of
a wide area of the eastern United
States, as we'll as indirectly the
people of Europe. by making more

Commercial Catch Is I'm.
portant Industry Along
North Carolina Coast

When fishing is mentioned the
thought which strikes the average
mind is that of a sportsman whip
ping a mountain stream for trout,
trolling along the coast for Spanish
mackerel or for big sailfish on the
Florida coast, or possibly OF q
creek in the country with a bare
foot boy patiently watching a float
ing cork. Ali are pleasant pictures
but they all represent sport, and to
some it is the best.
There is another picture however
and that is not sport fishing. It is
a business and in eastern North
Carolina it is definitely big bust
ness. While the world = wide food
shortage has brought millions OF
persons to the brink of starvation,
the millions of tons of seafood
available to anyone willing to take
1t have put the industry in eastern
North Carolina On a large scale
basis.
Basic Industory
Fishing has been the base indus
trv of eastern North Carolina from
the beginning in 1887. When the
first English settlers came to Roa-
noke Island 359 years ago they
found the Indians fishing and they
followed suit. They have continued

most exclusively a county OF fisher
men. and practically everyone de-
ponds upon it for his livelihood.

habitants fish. These men are a
hardy, hardworking group of Amer
leans, as individualiStlc and as
independent as any in the United
States. The same conditions exist
in other eastern counties.
Coaversing with the older fisher
men one hears tales of great catch
es Of years ago and how these
catches have diminished due to the
shoaling of inlets connecting Pam
lico Sound and the Ocean, and not
withstanding the fact that las. year
was a good year for fishermen they
believe the catch al be vastly in
creased.
Food fish handled in eastern
North Carolina was greater in 1915
than in 1914 but was about the
same as that handled in preceding
years. A total of 1878 tons of
edible fish were handled in 1945
with an estimated value of So, 1885,
900. The town of Atlantic is the
largest handler of food fish. The
demand for shrimp has been grad
ually increasing during recent
wears and conditions were favor
able last year for a good catch.
The catch at Beaufort exceeded
that of Southport for the first time
in years.
All of the shrimp at Beaufort
were disposed of fresh. There are
no canning plants there. Last
years catch was 1892 tons, having
a value of ST, $50, 900. The amount
of oysters handled as 10, 1874 tons
valued at S575, $40. This was above
the average annual catch. New
Bern for several years prior to
1914 was the largest oyster market
due to the fact that a large can
ming plant was there. Belhaven
was the largest market in 1914 but
due to the fact that a large buyer
there ceased operating last year,
Vandemere became the largest.
Clans and hard crabs for some
reason fell below the average year
ly catch. About 1850 tons of clam
and 3,377 tons of hard crabs were
handled. having a combined value
of SAIL, 78Q.
The Menhaden
In addition to the above food fish
the menhaden industry was larger
than last year. This industry, a
large and profitable one, is also an
interesting one. Special boats are
used for this purpose and are
equipped with crows nests high in
the mast where lookouts are sta
toned. These boats cruise slowly
in the sea until a lookout spots a
school of menhaden. They are
plainly visible by the dark coloring
made on the surface of the sea and
a school sometimes covers several
acres. The discovery is reported by
the lookout and the crew starts
moving. The object is, of course,
to head off and trap the school. A
purse seine is used for this pur-
pose. It is carried by two purse
boats which drop it as they separ-
ate to encircle the school. The cir
Gle is then contracted until the
whole school or most of it is drawn
alongside the vessel with tons Of
struggling, Tapping fish.
They r then bailed into the
hold of the vessel by what is known
as a bail net and carried to Beau
fort or other base post for delivery
to fish factories. The fish, which
are very oily and for this reason
are not extensively used for feed,
are partially cooked to facilitate
the extraction of the oil. They are
then placed in hydraulic presses

PRESBYTERlANS
REPAIR CHURCH
Completed, Renovate Main
Assembly Room Chap
Ell And Gilmour Hall

The First Presbyterian church.
Third and Orange streets, mas Deen
completely renovated, it has neen
announced by the Rev. Wllia1n
Grove, Jr., D. D. pastor.
The renovation included extern
sive redecorating and repairs 10
the main church and education
buildings.
Moisture stains in the nave OF
the church we're covered during
the redecorating process, the Rev.
Grove said.
Also painted was Kenan Memoir
ial Chapel, Gilmour hall, the
church school assembly room, the
banquet hall and the kitchen. Other
small assembly rooms used o
Cradle Roll, Nursery, Beginners
and Primary departments were
also painted and redecorated.
The church offices and the pas
tors study have been renovated.
Kitchen cabinets have been added
along with other equipment. Addi-
tional equipment to modernize the
other rooms is also being negotla-
ted for, the pastor said.
All windows in the church build
ings we're weather-stripped. The
large windows in the sanctuary,
made of cathedral glass, were
stippled and rubbed to give a
beautifying and softening effect. A
glare, which formerly m e
through the windows, has been re-
duced by the rubbing process to
give an even more religious atmos-
phere, the pastor said.
Extensive repairs were also
made to the roof to stop any cell
ing and wall leaks.
The church is of Gothic design
and is considered one of the out
standing examples of this style
in the vicinity.
The work was done by j. B.
Lucas, of Sumter, S. c., under the
supervision of the Board of Dea-
cons, F. E. Little, chairman and
the building committee, L. N.
Boney, Jr.. chairman. Edgar c.
Garrabrant and C. S. Morse served
with Boney.
Further repairs the Rev. Grove
said, which entailed the moving Of
small windows in the Nave to pew
level which gives better ventilation
in the church auditorium.
The Rev. Grove said plans were
also underway to have the rose
window at the top of the chancel
illuminated at right.
The pastor said the work is a
great asset to the church making
it possible for each member to be
better able to worship and enjoy
the facilities offered by the church.

SPORT CLOTHES TO TAKE LEAD IN MALE
 ATTIRE SAYS SPINE

Sport clothes Of various types will probably head the list of what the well-dressed man will wear" for some time to come, ac- oording to Frank Stine of the re- gently established mems furnishing store on South Franklin street.
 Stine, who has been associated with the merchandising business in many cities and in varying posi- tions since 1908, has just returned from Q buying trip to the States, during which he visited clothing centers and manufacturers in St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Los Angeles and Seattle. Perhaps it would be more correct to say he was on hunting. trip, since so many articles of mems wear, such as business suits, dress shirts, even cotton shorts. are practically non- existent.
 Very little hope was held out by clothing manufacturers of much im- provemant over the present condi- tions before the end of this year, Stine added. Material shortages, la bor unrest and general condition of chaos seem to be the chief fac tcrs responsible for the situation.
 However, on the brighter side of the picture, this enterprising part ner in the Stine and Thompson store was able to stock some very good locking two and three piece suits for boys from 10 years up, which should he a boon to mothers who have been searching in vain recently for a good suit" for Jun for.
 Stine was also able to acquire enc of the best selections of leather jackets for men in town, possibly in the Territory, while on this trip, as well as very good stock of luggage, including matched sets of airplane luggage. Other articles much in demand will be coming in as soon as available, and it would te wise to keep in touch with this store for shirts and other needs.
 The junior partner in this new concern is Jack Thompson, grad uate of Juneau High School and until recently First Mate in the ATS.
