FISHERMEN NOW
CONSIDERED AS
FARMERS OF SEA
Association Disturbed By Stream
Pollution and Beach
Erosion Dangers

New Bern. "A new classified
ton of commercial fishermen came
out of the annual meeting of the
North Carolina Fisheries Associa-
ton here on Monday night. There
was complete agreement that COM
merciaI fishermen are Farmers of
the Sea" so far as the proposal of
the State Tax Study Commission
to impose sales tax on their pur-
chases of fuel oil, engines, machin-
cry, rigging and equipment is con-
cerned.
That Interpretation, advanced by
Association Attorney John Rod
man, had the supnort~of the sew
eral members of the 1857 General
Assembly present at the dinner
meeting. Legislators present were
Senator Edward L. Owens of Plym-
outh, and Representatives Sam l..
Whitehurst of New Bern. Thomas
J. White of Kinston, D. G. Bell of
Morehead City, Ned Delamar of
Oriental, and L. H. Ross of Wash
ington.
Rodman told the Fisheries Asso-
citation that Governor Luther Hold
ges was very sympathetic to the
classification of commercial fisher
men as Farmers" of the coastal
waters when he presented that in
depreciation to him recently. A
farmer is exempt from sales tax,
except the 1920 of 1 per cent man
ufacturers tax, on all working
equipment that generally has NOV
ing parts. Rodman said, CONNER
cial fishermen are entitled to the
same consideration as farmers.
Otherwise there is discrimination.
l believe that this Interpretation
will appeal to the Legislature, as
we'll as to Governor Hodges"
A possible threat to North Caro-
lina's $1O,50O,000 fishing industry
also received close scrutiny from
the fishermen in a speech by E. C
Hubbard, executive secretary of
the N. C. Stream Sanitation Com
mittee, and in lengthy question
and answer period following the
speech.
Hubbard explained the recon-
mendations and waste handling
procedures set up by the Commit
tee to prevent the pollution of the
Neuse River in the vicinity of
New Bern, following the beginning
of operation of the kraft paper
mill proposed near there.

DARE TOURIST BUREAU
DIRECTORS DISCUSSED
ORGANIZATIONS WORK

Dare County Tourist Bureau di-
rectors meeting in Manteo on We'd
nesday discussed the organizations
activities during the past several
months and plans for making 1857
one of the greatest vacation sea-
sons in the history of this coastal
area. Financial problems, of the bu-
reau, at this time of the year, u.s.
ually at a low ebb, were also dis
cIssed.
Members of the Board, cogniZant
of steady increase of public rela-
tions and publicity activity as a
new calendar year begins, heard
more about it from the manager
and news director in his report.
A larger work load was shown
in an unprecedented number of in
quiries from persons in many
states who plan to spend vacations
in this region. "There has been an
increasing number Of inquiries
from persons asking about family
vacations" said Manager Aycock
Brown.
He gave as an example of this
fact the current inquiry list which
goes to all vacation spot operators
at present. Some rs percent Of
more than 200 persons seeking in
formation in the last 10 days of
January, indicated they were inter-
ested in family accommodations.
Most of them asked about cottage
rentals, or cottage courts, but many
also were equally interested in no.
tells, motels and restaurants.
Two new Board members are AL
yah Ward Jr. and Moncie Daniels,
Jr. Ward was present at the meet
ing but Daniels was unable to at
tend due to other commitments.
The Tourist Bureau was set up
primarily as a public relations and
publicity organization so there are
plans underway to change the sys-
tenn of mailing out inquiry lists
which are valuable for operators
who seek new business, yet cost
considerably more to prepare and
mail than some of the operators
pay into the bureau each year to
help keep it operating. The new
plan will go in effect in Spring.
A legislative committee was ap-
pointed namely Melvin R. Daniels,
Martin Kellogg Jr., and Archie
Burrus. The executive committee,
composed of Burrus. Chairman Nc
Gown and Mrs. Elizabeth Baum,
the treasurere was re-appointed.
Mrs. Baum gave comprehensive
report of Tourist Bureau finances.
Various members were designated
