Game Fish Run
In Nearby Waters
The game fish run has started in
local waters. For several weeks
local and visiting anglers have been
making good catches of bottom
species including trout, sea mullet,
flounder and sneeps head. Last
week the first channel Dass to *be
taken from the surl at Drum fnlet
here on the Carteret coast were re
ported. At the same time the first
? ' catch of channel bass to be made
in the surf at Ocracoke Island was
reported.
Skippers of Gulf Stream sports
fishing boats have made a lew ex
ploratory trips to the Gull Strean.
on recent week-ends but to date no
species have been taken from blu?
water. Some of the offshore fisher
men have had fair luck landing sea
bass with rod and reel while fish
ing over the coral reefs off Cape
Lookout and near the western edge,
of the Gulf Stream.
Unsetled weather conditions re
cently have been blamed for the
delay in making game fish catches
far off shore. As the weathei
abates and the sea becomes smooth
the first blue water species of the
season are expected to be landed.

Outer Banks Writer Initiates
Custom of Awarding Trophy
Ben Dixon McNeill, writer of
the Outer Banks, was the moving
spirit in the establishment of this
custom of presenting an annual
Vurf man's racin# trojmy. Mr. Mc
Neill introduced Josephus Daniels,
Jr., at the banquet Thursday nigh1.
Mr. Daniels, son of the man in
whose memory the silver cup is
given, gave the award to the Fort
Macon crew.
Mr. McNeill's remarks, which
preceded his introduction of Mr.
Daniels, follow: "
"Apart from my own unhappy
?iiuation at the moment, the oc
t-asion here is well circumstanced,
and not without important signifi
cance. I doubt that any of you,
leaving out a few Ionic suffering
near neighbors, have ever heard
of the MacNiell Unification Plan.
It has been pretty well hidden in
the shadows of a much larger and
extensive vocal plan of unification.
Some of you Marine Corps people, ;
I believet^look upon it a* elimina
tion rather than unification.
"No single congressman knows
anything about the MacNeill Uni
fication Plan, and, 1 ^x,?ect, it is
news even #to Commodore Whit
beck. It isn't a complicated plan.
Indeed, it is simplicity itself, and
you see here before you how easy
it was to fetrh it about and how
well it works. P-g just this: there
are four elements of the U. S.
toast Guard the cutler service,
the aids to navigation service, the
air search & rescue service and
the lifeboat service. AH of them
are here present, for the first time
together, ef we can lock upon this
occasion as an extension of the
j celebration we had last August on
Cape Hatter as.
"That day, for the first time,
w? had, working together, each of.
? he four elements of the service,
hi exercises and demonstrations

?t the instance of Alexander Hani
iiton and Congressman John Gray
Blount of North Carolina. Offshore
there were cutters; overhead were
aircraft; Captain Manyon retrie

destruction. And on the beach |
were men with oars in their hands.
"It took seven years to get it
done, and it began With an obser j
\ation by Josephus Daniels as w? \
approached the dock in Manten
aboard a Coast Guard craft. Dur- 1
ing that October afternoon in j
l'J41 Mr. Daniels had re-visited i
the scene of his ftiiidhood along
the Outer Banks of North Caro ;
lina. He had come home from the
Embassy in Mexico City. Nearing j
his 80th dirthday he wanted, once'
moup before he sat down to the
task of setting down the record of
nis years, just to look at a country ,
ihat was thqj^iome of his forbears.

raui Midgett was there with some
of his crew from Nags Head to
take him off. As he approached
the dock Mr. Daniels remarked
"The airplane is fine and we could
n't Jjave it any other way, so
quickly or so comfortably ? but it
takes a boy with an oar in his
hand to get us to the doCk."
"Five years afterward Mr. Dan
iels came back to Roanoke Island
for a week of resting from the
labor of writing four of the five
volumes of his jjjemoirs an(' *-?
renew his strength for the fifth
atni filial chapter of his story, j
Roanoke Island was still in the!
midst of nine days of wonder oc ;
casioned by a very spectacular '
show put on by the Coast* Guard
in celebration- of. its 166th birth
day. With that uncanny prescience
that was characteristic of him Mr. ,
Daniels put nis finger on what was'
for me one sore spot about !he ;
celebration. There was no man
with an oar in his hand.
"Admiral Shanley, the ihen dis j
trict commandant and his very
able cnief of staff, ('apt. Ira Ksk |
ridge, were willing enough to have!
a life boat crew take part in the
Coa ' Guard's demonstration, but
he simple fact was that the serv
ce d not have, in all the District,
j o much as one surfboat crew. It
just couldn't be managed, and the
throng which attended ? the lar
gest in the history of Dare coun
ty ? maybe didn't miss the surf
boats too mu< Y But Mr Daniels
missed them.
"Next time," he said, "you must
have a surf boat? L-it's just not the

The husband had lived happily
with his wife for three years when
his mother-in-law mofed in on the

He burgled cellar stores, forged

The husband pleaded guilty and

the dock when I was here five
years ago? It takes a man with
an oar ? and we just can't let the
surfman get lost among the gad
gets. Gadgets are fine ? but it
takes a man with an oar, just like
it takes a man with a gun in his
hand to win a war no matter
how many battleships and atomic
bombs we've got."
"That was not the first time I
had heard the same thing from
Mr. DanielR. My first contact with
the Outer Banks and the sturdy
men of the oar was 25 years be
fore that when hf sent me down
to visit the late great Capt. John
Allen Midgett at Chicamacomico.
For Mr. paniels it went back more
than 70 years, to his childhood on
Ocracoke, when he first saw the
mighty surfmen of that day. And
so it was, last year, when it was
my privilege to again have some
small part in putting together the
events staffed in observance of the
Coast Guard's birthday, it was
inevitable that I should remember
the man who was sometime their
commander, always the friend of
this mighty race of men with oars
in their hamh. It was a great day,
a day that brough1 together all
the elements of a great service on
an equal footing, a day with but
a single regret ? Mr. Daniels had
not lived to altend it, as he ha !
confidently planned, ut the great
tradition of the surfman lives, anH
the memory of this their fri?n '
lives.
"Mr. Chairman, I have the,
honor to present the boat crew of
Fort Macon Group of the U. S.
Coast Gi^rd, winners of the first
rowing for the Surfman's Trophy,
established in memory of Josephus
Daniels, by his sons, who inherit
and share their distinguished
father's evaluation of a man with
an oar in his hand.
