Water Lily. nd Poplar Branch is borneout by the statement of many men of, a number f Hifferent interests. Responsible In- l viduals of keen observation an long ,erience In practical and legislative Series have eiven it as their opinion hat the water of Currituck sound must lie essarily" become saltier under' these conditions and that therefore fisheries f Currituck sound will become stead iiv smaller and in a few years be ruln ,1 increased salinity will have an in imical effect on the gunning- of the MHind because of the chanpre in .he vecetation that must follow greater saltiness. This opinion is. that of the biological survey.. The records ofshiP ment of the several commercial species of fish of the sound for. the past' five vears show. that in 1919 there occurred j considerable decrease. in the amount the catch and shipment from the found. This is especially true of the fiddle sound from the Narrows to Knott's island where the sound in the first week of August was saltiest and where at all times It is probably salt iest due to the banking-ut of ttie salt water in that vicinity afer it f has reached there through the dredged channel of the sound.

Strong northerly, winds, es pecially predominant during the fishing season, October to April, bring a regu lar; and sometimes a continuous flow of salt water .from the Chesapeake to the sound. Salt water thus entered and diffused does not leave the sound on a change tif wind in the same concentra tion as it entered. The sound therefore retains . a . quantity of salt af ter" each! drive ... past a long whitewashed board fence about six feet high along a stretch of exceptionally muddy road.

Feb ruary 8,i Is a proposal to use the billion ; aoiiars in, funds now available for road building in 1921. as a partial rernedv for unemployment conditions through t uut ie country, s ' Because an a automobile plant in Xe trolt; closed for a month, a request-was xna.de; -'byvtlie idle employes for permis sion to use the. factory to make cars for themselves" and families. The workers agreed. to pay for all raw materialised! and,, in general, to return the plant in even ber' condition. 1 A.campaign against mud splashing by automobiles ;; is bringing, good - re sults in Paris. ' -Motor cars supplied with' anti-splash .devices are ordered to northerly blow The salinity of the sound in the win ter of 1920 may have been apparently increased by a deficient rainfall and increased evaporation from the sound. The meteorological records of .the near est weather recording stations show a considerable departure below ) normal .precipitation, especially for the vicinity of Norfolkthe region which the creeks and rivers which, feed Currituck sound should drain. , "The economic value of the fisheries and gunning of Currituck Sound Is of Importance not only for v Currituck county, the state of North Carolina, but also the nation at large, as such a pro ductive i body of water, especially for black bass, is rarely met with. The sound Is indeed a natural' resource which, should be properly preserved. A body of water of -arfch small size rela tlvely speaking, which alone yields an nually two million pounds of food, fish, and -a.t the same -time serves as the largest and besf stocked winter resort, of wild water fowl in the eastern Unit ed States, deserves, with no argumen tation, adequate protection, legislative ly or otherwise." , Mr. Barney recommends that "in the interests -of the fisheries of Currituck sound as well' as the Inland waterway, and its' navigation, that some mechani cal means of control' of the flow of salt water through the canal into Currituck sound be installed in the canal." It is suggested that a lock in the canal would remedy the; condition.. j Currituck 'sound is about 30 miles long and three mlles wlde.i' More than 600 .people live by . taking Bsh from Its waters. The fish catch is worth about $126,000 annually. ' ' NUMBER OF WEDDINGS ' r IN NEW BERN SOCIETY Miss Hart Is Honored At Pre nuptial Events .
