journals of the State today wouia

Southerner, one of the oldest

T Inek-e to work first on the old
Star, and later on the Post. During
his sojourn in Washington he was
also employed in prints-sops. I:
was in Washington that he learned
th. art of setting type on a lino
type machine, when the Post in
s't.V.k'd them in their new ofi'iet
on the avenue where it is pui'hsh
c.l :odc,y. The Post was one . 1 the

this new contraption which would
set type mechanically. It was not

Highway Officials
Requested To Move
Siren From Bridge
Fifty residents of Beaufort, the
majority of them living in the
western part of town near the
State Highway Bridge which cross
es the harbor channel have re
quested the State Highway Com
mission through petition this week
to remove the siren and replace
same with flashing lights or some
type of noiseless signal. Chief
proponent of the petition is Major
George C. Scherer, retired, U. S.
Engineering Department official.
Previously there was an air siren
on the bridge which could be heard
for several miles and disturbed
the slumber of many people here,
especially during the winter fish
in,' months. This first siren wa
removed and another siren which
sounds like a combination of a fire
truck and ambulance siren was
placed on the bridge. The noise it
makes is rather confusing to many
people who mistake it for fire
trucks or ambulances or police
cars. j. .
Major Scherer's contention is
that it would be perfectly legal fi
replace the present siren with si
lent flashes, and he is therefore
lading the movement with 50 pe
titioners to have a change made.
it is tne contention ot otneis nei-.
that the law requires the noisy s;
ven, due to the fact that Beaufort
Channel, across which the bridge
is erected, is a part of the Intra
Coastal Waterway.
Prince of the state highway and
public works commission, crossed
Oregon Inlet on the way to Hat
teras. The lifting of the ferry toll
over the inlet, link to the Hatteras
bank trail, was one of the three
things that people of the Outer
villages wanted.

large numbers. They want roads
also to connect up with a highway
that will someday come to Hat
teras Island. What the Ocracok--rs
want most of all at this tim"
hough is a ferry connecting their
sland and Hatteras across Hatter
is Inlet.
Governor Broughton and party
got a first hand glimpse of the
need for a highway along th
bench as they drove down the 50
or more miles of Hatteras Island
:rom Oregon Inlet. Part of the
"rip was made on the sand trails
nd occasionally the driver would
ake to the beach route. Accom
panying the governor's party was
heriff D. Victor Meekins of Man
leo, through whose efforts Daro
County has made many forward
strides in recent years.
By boats, beach buggies, Coast
Guard trucks and airplanes came
people to attend this celebration,
which was even larger than the
"vendues" of olden days held by
the wreck commissioners following
the foundering of ships on these
shores. Chief Pilot Dave Driskill
of the Air Division of Ocracoke
Transportation was busy through
out the day bringing passengers
n the island quickly. Early Mon
day morning he had brought R.
Bruce Etheridge to Cape Hatteras
light house. The previous day he
hurl tmnsnort.ed Paul Jones. Leon
ard Safrit and the Beaufort Newi I
iditor to Hatteras Island, making
the trip up from Beaufort, 70 air
line miles, in about 45 minutes. The
return trip on Monday afternoon
started immediately following the
tremendous picnic dinner served
by the people of the island to their
guests for the day.
The Governor and his party
traveled here by motorcade. State
patrol boats brought others, and
some flew. Most of the visitors
plannpd to stay over for a fishing
trip tomorrow.
Governor Broughton revealed
that anybody with taxed gasoline
in their tanks could ride the ferry
f cross Oregon Inlet free of charge.
The only people who will have to
nay a transportation charge will
be user of tax-free gasoline, he
said. Under the arrangement,
Capt. Toby Tillets, owner of the
ferry, will keep a monthly record
of names of persons who have rid
den with him and the gasoline tax
will pay the cost.
The announcement was made as
the Governor and Chairman Bee
sary buildings at the site.
Progress continues on the build
ing of "the spur of the Atlantic ard
East Carolina railroad to serve the
construction camp and the marine
base area. Progress is also being
made in preparation for the build

It was in May of this year that

Fiddler Farming Is

Island Of Ocracoke
Thurston Gaskill, one of the
most widely known fishing guides
on Ocracoke Island, has had
'fiddler' farm for a number of
years. So have other guides on
k- Their "farms" range
from 10-quart gaWanixe buckets
to special built boxes halt rmeu

k.l Congressman Ross Rid
ley's (R-Okla), secretary Miss
Lydia Vacin appeared last week
on page one of The Beaufort News
and in Smith Barrier's fishing col
umn in The Greensboro Daily
News on Wednesday of this week.
The two big fish and 21 others of
similar size were caught by Miss
Vacin while fishing with Guide
Gaskill over the wreck of the old
barkentine Vera Cruz which sank
in Ocracoke Inlet back in 1903,
marooning nearly 400 Cape Verde
Island immigrants on Portsmouth,
south of the Inlet for several days.
Gaskill and the Ocracoke guides
have claimed no credit for being
the first to establish "Sand Fiddler
Farms." To them a "Sand Fiddler"
is the fast moving yellow crustae
ean which inhabits the dry sand
of the ocean beach and is seldom
used as bait or for any other pur
pose, although people have tried
to catch channel bass with them.
The smaller species which inhabit
the mud flats, which the islanders
call "mud-fiddlers" are used as
bait for sheepshead and tautogs.
The Ocracoke "mud . fiddler"
farms which have been operated
for many years in everything from
buckets to fish boxes are portable
in nature and are usually maintain
ed aboard the boats of guides.

Defense Needs Get
First Consideration
In reply to his telegram to Sec
retary of the Interior Ickes asking
that further provision be made to
supply gasoline to this section
which has large defense develop,
nrat needs. Consressman Graham
A. Barden. in New Bern, has had
word from John J. Dempsey, Un
der-Secretary of the interior, call
ing attention to the fact that de
fense needs are to be supplied be
fore any other heeds are filled
from the local gasoline quotas.
Priority is also given in the
sale of gasoline for farm uses,
savs Demnsev in pointing out that
the needs in tobacco marketing
should be cared for.
Coneressman Barden sees little
helpful in the suggestions. He es
timates special needs of gasoline
requirements for the section 50
per cent above those of recent
months, and he sees denial beyond
that asked of most other sections
in the allotment of so much of the
local supply to such unusual pur
poses as defense and marketing
needs.
