FISHERIES GROUP HOLDS
MEETING WITH OFFICIALS
OF WlLDLlFE SERVICE

New Bern, April 27.-Planning
for the future development Of the
commercial fishing industry of
North Carolina, members of the
North Carolina Fisheries Associa-
ton met here on Friday with Off
Gals of the U. S. Fish and Wild
life Service.
The planning set up an explora-
ton schedule for the research YES
sci Combat of the Service, due to
arrive in North Carolina waters
for work in June. At the same time
the discussions established tenta-
tive plans for long range explora-
ton of North Cardinals off-shore
fishing grounds beyond 80 fathoms.
Officials of the Federal Service
at the meeting were Harvey Bull
Inns of the Pascagoula, Mississippi
station of the Service and DR.. G.
F. Talbot of the Beaufort labora-
tory. Leading the large group of
commercial fishermen at the meet
ing were NCFA President Garland
Fulcher of Oriental, Vice-President
Roy Watson of Hobucken, Direc-
tors Otis Purifoy of Morehead
City and Clayton Fulcher, Jr., of
Atlantic; and NCFA Executive
Secretary Fred Whitaker. Also
present was DR.. William Fahy of
the N. C. Institute of Fisheries
Research.
One area established for the
June exploration is between the
Cape Hatteras Lightship and the
Cape Lookout light, approximately
65 miles long, ranging from five
to 10 miles in width, and below 20
fathoms. A second area, which had
some previous exploration by the
Service, lies between Cape Fear
and Cape Hatteras at $50 to $50
fathom depths.
Bullus said that the June explor-
alton will be concerned exclusively
with the finding of shrimp beds
at the greater depths. Of particu-
lar interest to the group is the
finding of the "red" shrimp which
was found in southern waters by
the research vessels of the Service
and which are now being profit
ably exploited by the Florida and
Gulf Coast fisheries.
Future exploration by the re-
search vessels of the Service will
be planned for the finding of a
"winter" and other species of
shrimp, establishment of new
grounds for finish TRAVELLING, and
the testing of ocean bottom where
evidence of scallops has been
found by the fishermen.
! Members of the Fisheries Asso-
citation offered to cooperate in the
work with service vessels with
their own deep-water trawlers, but
no plans were made to utilize the
vessels of the North Carolina fish
ing fleet Immediately.

sDrake is going westward! His
ships are in the bay" For the past
few weeks I've been seeing pic
lures Of Mayflower II in Brixham
harbour, Devon, England, and a
mixture of memories came into
my mind, some of them happy and
some of them sad, for five years
and better of the time / was there
in Devonshire, from September
1889 into 1915 were of course the
war years; from then until 1948
were the clearing up years and
the years when everyone was try
ing to readjust themselves to a
way of living that would never
again be quite like it was before.
It was to Torquay, Devonshire,
that / and a few thousand others
were evacuated and one of the req
uisitioned hotels that our office
took over stood on top of the cliff
by Daddyhole Plain, a small plat
eau on top of the cliff overlooking
Torbay on the other side of which
was Brixham.
During the war there was no en-
joying oneself on the beach and
bathing in the surf for that and
the coves were hemmed in by barb
ed wire and heavily mined. The
Brixham fishing fleet put out to
sea but very few times and then
for no great distance except on
that period Of suspense,-so many
emotions still come to one at the
mention of that name,--now
known in history as Dunkirk; the
glory day for the little ships.
With war over and the seas
cleared or more or less cleared, the
fishing fleet again set sail and if
You were lucky and had seat in
the office by the window and on
an upper floor, you could take a
minute off to watch the boats, with
their brick red sails, (they had
motors too of course but made use
of the sails when good wind was
with them) going out or coming
into harbor across the bay as they
came in under the headland of
Berry Head.
Brixham was a lovely place to
visit whether you liked the sea or
the country side. We used to take
the bus from Torquay harbour and
ride along the road which circled
the bay and sometimes when feel
ing really energetic we would
walk there, eat our meal and they
cooked many one especially in
summer, then after wandering

round the harbour, wend our way
up across the back of the village
by the winding streets and short
cuts, which were nice shallow,
flights of footworn steps, to the
dirt track that led through the
wood out onto the top of Berry
Head. There you could sit your
self down on the short, springy
turf, dotted here and there with
wild flowers, and doze in the sun
with the scent of the gorse drift
ing across you and mixing with
the clean, salty air; looking down
and outward there was the English
Channel with the sun glittering on
the waves, the little motor boats
carrying holiday-makers across the
bay or round the headland and up
the Dart to Dartmouth, another
lovely spot. Further out toward
and beyond the horizon the big
boats, the liners and the merchant
men, were steaming and sometimes
the smoke from their tunnels was
all you could see to tell you they
were there. Mostly what you were
aware of was the silence silence
except for the hum of the bees in
the gorse, the breeze through the
bushes and grasses on the cliff and
the muted rhythm of the waves
breaking on the rocks below.
When exploring takes ones
fancy, there is the headland of
Berry Head itself to explore. Even
on the hottest day, walk out to
the very end of the grass topped
rock and a Chamber down the face
in the few safe spots, brings
you to a shady seat among
the rocks with the sea surging
and foaming right at your feet and
the breeze blowing cool from the
upflung spray.
l don't expect there has been too
much change in the countryside and
coves of Devon since Drake sailed
westward. Of course the automo-
bile now comes and goes where the
carriage and horse used to hold
sway although the farmer still
uses cart or wagon for his hay
and produce on occasions and those
who can afford the care of horse
and have the time to enjoy riding
still ride the downlands and woody
lanes, but now for enjoyment and
not out of necessity. The houses
and cottages still show the lights
in the windows at even but now it
is electricity, not candle or oil
lamp. The ships and even small
boats are different in many ways
but the men are still the same
hardy, folk who made their living
from the land or the sea and
though there are larger, we'll
stocked towns hardly now, where
many helps toward easier living
may be bought, the sea, the cliffs
and the moorland and winds that
blow over them with their soft,
damp taste of the wide seas beyond
Lands End in Cornwall, the bleak

the men of adventure that weren't
content to just stay home and tend
their vegetables or to become a
vegetable. Both sorts are needed to
run this world, but rightly or

wrongly it is the seeker who puts
into action his thirst for knowledge
that history remembers, though

name of the blossom of a sweetly

Mr. Nixon is right as rain, Of course,

alive who has not complained that her

Let's See the Evidence

The resolution in which the executive
committee Of the NAACP attacks Police
Chief Murray directs the local president,
Eugene Davidson, to document the
charges" No evidence in support Of the
charges is set forth in the resolution, and
we suggest that the community await
Mr.. Davidson's Recommendation.
In substance, the resolution &C
euses Chief Murray of federation of
brutality, abuse of police trial board pro-
cedure and personal race prejudice.
Chief Murray, in fiat denial of the
charges, says that the NAACP is trying
to dictate policies of the police depart
ment, seeking preferential treatment and
pursuing course which can only destroy
the effectiveness of the police force in pro-
tecting all law-abiding citizens. He also
says that as long as he is Chief Of Police
he does not intend to submit to intimida-
ton by Mr.. Davidson or the NAACP.
This is one of those controversies
which cannot and should not be pre-
judged. We have no hesitation, however,
In expressing our high regard for Chief
Murray and for the manner in which he
has handled the work of the police de-
partment. We think he is entitled to the
confidence of the community. The PROM
ised Recommendation of what are now
merely unsupported accusations will, of
course, receive impartial study.

Investment in Health

The Senate is right in contending
that the war on cancer heart disease,
mental disorders and other scourges of
mankind should be expanded with the
help of Federal funds for research The
National Institutes of Health is the gen.
eral headquarters for the American at
tack on these killers and cripplers.
Congress ought to see to it that the
offensive Is not only continued as already
planned by the CHG but extended and
intensified. The money so spent will be
an investment in human life and hap
pineSs.
The House had accepted $44 million
cut in the NH budget made by the Budget
Bureau for economy reasons. But the
Senate, after receiving vigorous testimony
in support of an enlarged medical re-
search program, has voted to restore $32
million Of the slash to the NH appropria-
ton bill. Nearly third of this additional
sum would go for cancer research, In
which 1t Is reported that good progress
is being made, especially in the chemical
field. The remainder would be about
equally divided among research projects
relating to other major diseases which
have not yet been conquered by medicine
or surgery. In view Of the Senate's action,
we hope the House will reconsider its
approval of the budget cut and assure
the NH of the funds 1t is urgently seeking
to achieve greater successes in the realm
of medical research.
