Carolina General Assembly
A mere 81 votes separated the two front running

bly, and his experience in Raleigh as qualifications
which merit his endorsement from Dare constituents
on Saturday.

WORLDS RECORD SOUGHT
FOR GIANT MARLIN CATCH

Gary Stukes, the lucky ang-
Ter who hooked an 810-pound
blue marlin off Hatteras on June
II, returned to his home in Nor
ristown, N. j. this week after
having completed forms which
he hopes will lead to the recog-
milton of his catch as a worlds
record.
The potentially record-break-
ing fish was caught by Stukes
while cruising aboard the Alba
ross II, captained by Bill Fost-
sr. The gaint marlin was landed
after only 20 minutes of strug-
gle and was found to measure a
phenomenal IA feet from tip to
tip, with girth of 68 inches
The catch was, in the opinion of
Jim Mays, outdoor editor of the
"Virginian Pilot" the -"largest
of anything ever. taken on ar
artificial lure"
The big marlin was a female
that had recently spawned its
eggs or roe, according to Stukes,
who submitted affidavits to the
International Game Fish AS
sociation and the Field ane
Stream international Fishing
Contest for recognition of his
"once in a lifetime" feat.

PHOSPHATE MINING TO
BE DISCUSSED THURS.

Frank Turner, N. c. Property
Officer, stated this week that he
intends to recommend approval
of a phosphate mining lease to
Texas Gulf Sulphur Co. of New
York, when he meets with other
state officials to discuss the pro-
posed contract for Beaufort
county on Thursday in Raleigh.
The group will meet with Tur-
ner, E. C. Hubbard, secretary of
the State Sanitation Committee,
w. R. Clary, assistant director
of the Division of Stream SAM
tation and officials of the Gulf
Sulphur Co.
Hubbard noted that one of the
purposes of the meeting is to
discuss with them the manner in
which they propose to conduct
their operations and the methods
that will be used in protecting
the qaulity of the water in Pam
lico River.
Hubbard stated that a permit
will be necessary before waste
can be discharged into waters
which have been classified by the
Stream Sanitation Committee.
The acceptance of the Texas
Sulphur firms recent bid was
recommended by the Minerals
Committee of the State Conser-
vation and Development Board
on June IA.
Turner stated on Tuesday
that: "We're going to recon-
mend OF the governor and Coun-
Gil of State that the lease be ap-
proved"
Texas Gulf was high bidder on
one mile square area of land in
Beaufort County which it plans
to mine for phosphate. The
company offered to turn over to
the state 1875 per cent of its
gross sales of any phosphate
mined in the area, if the bid
were accepted.
The mining operation has been
opposed by Sen. Lindsay Warren
of Beaufort County, and others,
who have claimed that such an
operation would endanger plant
| life and the fishing industry in
the area, by digging the river
bottoms.

GIANT SHARK Is
HOOKED SUNDAY;
WEIGHS sos LBS.

A mammoth tiger shark was
the principal actor in reward
ing play of good fishing from
Atlantic Waters on the Outer
Banks this week as warm wealth
er and cloudless days kept the
big ones biting from Currituck
Beach to Ocracoke.
The SO5 pound shark, hooked
by Gene Powell of Norfolk, has
been described as the largest
shark ever taken by a sports
fisherman along the North Caro-
lima coast. The giant scrapper
was caught by Powell as he
cruised aboard the boat "Slow
and Easy" captained by Fred
Basnight off Oregon Inlet on
Sunday.
1t took Powell about one and
one-half hours to bring the giant
speciman within gaffing range
and the II foot, nine inch deni-
zen was so large that it had to
be lashed alongside before
bringing it into port.
While larger tiger shark have
been caught in Australian wa
ters, there was no record avail
able locally to indicate that a
larger shark of the tiger" spe-
cies ever. had been caught off
the Atlantic. Scientifically, how
ever, there is no difference be-
tween Australian and coastal
tigers"
Other fish, not as large, but
in greater quantity, are being
hooked up and down the Outer
Banks. The most phenomenal
catches of tuna ever witnessed
on the Dare Coastline continue
to make life exciting for deep
water anglers. The cruiser-based
fisherman are still catching
bluefin tuna in the 100 pound
class off Oregon Inlet and Nags
Head.
Guides on charter cruisers
bring back stories from offshore
about great schools of tuna that
literally cover acres OF the
ocean. Local salts are unable
to explain their presence or
guess how long they may re-
main.
Several channel bass were
taken by anglers. aboard Oregon
Inlet cruisers over the week end.
Best day for channel bass was
reported last Saturday when a
party from Richmond, Alberta,
and Glen Allen, Va. boated four
channel bass ranging from 36 to
43 pounds.
Marlin fishing on the coast
is still of the sensational variety.
The blue marlin score for Dare
Coast waters was an even lOO
on Monday, with at least a dozen
more being shared by Wednes-
day.
Of the 100 marlin taken by
anglers this year, since the first
was landed off Oregon Inlet on
Nav 2, SO were caught by an
glers ard Hatteras-based
cruisers and seven aboard Ore
gon Inlet craft. =,
The blue marlin have ranged
from a 129 FOUNDER taken by s.
P. Shehan of Chevy Chase, Md,
to the $40 pound, potential
world-record shared by Gary
Stukes of Morriston, N. j. The
white marlin, cousin to the blue,
has also been taking the hook
with regularity off the Dare
coast, along with several sail
fish. The sailfish-white marlin
count has now reached 20 in
number for successful offshore
anglers.

sage to Delawareans serving in
the Armed Forces of the United
States:
"The approach of another holi-

that there are thousands of fine,
brave American men and women :
like yourselves in the UNIFORM
of this great Nation who are to-
day guarding the ramparts' of the
farflung outposts of the FIR e

while our best wishes are ever
with you, our thoughts are with
you more at Christmastime than at
any other season of the year and
your absence from home and COM
munity is more keenly felt.
Regardless of where we might
be, Christmas should be a joyous
occasion, for it not only commem-
crates miraculous event that has
greatly influenced our lives d
actions, but also serves to bring
back memories of by-gone Christ
masses, of childhood and of prev
