Fishermen Put Up
Big Fight To Secure
Oregoni Inlet Funds
Group, Aided By Her
bert Bonner, Argue
In Washington
Fishermen from North Carolina and
Virginia, shepherded by Congressman
'Herbert C. Bonner, let fly with both
barrels before the House Appropri
ations Committee on behalf of Oregon
Inlet last Week and fram.on-the 1 record
and off-the-record observations by
members of the Committee, scored
effective hits for the project, both as
a matter of national defense and on
the grounds that money spent for
'modernization of the Inlet would pay
uncommonly high dividends.
Basing their presentation primarily
on the thesis that Oregon Inlet is es
sential to National Defense, the dele
gation, headed by Alvah H. Ward,
Manteo, chairman of the Inlet organi
zation, reviewed briefly the bloody
history of the waters above Cape
Hatteras, documenting the fact that
in three wars more than a billion dol
lars worth of ships and more than
three thousand lives have been lost
along an undefended coast that has no
harbor between Norfolk and the point
of the Cape.
Added to that the proponents set up
a second line of offense, showing that
the expenditure of an estimated $865,-
000 to make the Inlet a harbor of re
fuge for fishing fleets that would
operate in the area would save in the
actual operating costs of boats actual
ly at work of $1,048,861.48 annually.
The case, as Chairman John H. Kerr
observed at the conclusion of the hear
ing, was one of the best organized
and documented ever to be presented
to the Committee.
Congressman (Bonner’s “Oregon In
let boys” .were second on the day’s
calendar of hearings before the Com
mittee and they had been allocated
fifteen minutes for the presentation
of their case. Time was not formal
ly extended by the committee but it
was not quite an hour before the hear
ing ended. Members of the Committee,
and especially Congressman Louis Ra
baut of Michigan, got to asking ques
tions and the discussion of the gen
eral outline of the case widened and
extended itself.

Neill, now a resident of the Point of
Cape Hatteras, led off the presen
tation. The case was stated verbally
and briefly and .(hen in writing. Fol
lowing that Mr. Bonner presented
W. H. Potter, of Beaufort-Morehead
City, North Carolina, who spoke for
the trawler fleet that operate
in the area but would if there were
a harbor handy in the event of some
Hatteras weather. He, in .turn, was
followed by W. H. Waller, who .pre
sented a similar statement for Ammon
Dunton, of ißeidsville, Virginia, rep
resenting the organized fishing in
terests centered in Chesapeake Bay,
who would also operate in the area if
there were a harbor into which they
could fleet weather.
Documented statements of the vir
tually untouched wealth of commercial
fish in the area were presented and
Mr. Bonner declared that here was a
field second not even to the Grand
Banks, capable of adding upwards of
a half billion pounds of edible fish
to the nation’s larder. Others pres
ent and taking part in the general
discussion that followed the opening
statements included D. V. Meekins of
Manteo, Garland Fulcher and Earl
Hblton, of Pamlico County, fleet
operators, and Eric Rogers, member
of the Conservation and Development
Commission. Telegrams from Director
George Ross and Governor Scott were
written into the record, as was also
a statement by Col. G. W. Gilette,
executive director of the 'State Ports
Authority. Col. •Gillette was here for
the, hearing first scheduled for yes
terday afternoon and postponed until
today.
Also read into the record were state
ments by the late General of the Air
Forces H. H. Arnold, who declared
before his retirement .that a harbor at
Orefbn Inlet would have cut four
months from the fighting time in
Europe because it would have lessened
the frightful loss of shipping and lives
off Oregon Inlet in the opening
months of the war. 'Also a part of
the record is an earlier declaration of
Admiral Arthur W. Radford, now com
mander of Naval forces in the Pacific.
No formal action was announced
by the Committee but from the com
ment of members, their reaction was
•wholly favorable. 'Spectators
hearing declared that they had never
seen a more favorable reception for
a presentation and the fishermen left
for home greatly encouraged at the
prospect of the “liberation” of their
gate to where the fishing is.

Garden time j
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
——n—
Most of our first plantings of gar
den crops have been made, and if you
made the same mistake that I did you
have had to replant your liiflt beans
and some of yTOF snap beans. The
recent cold rainy weather rotted the
seed in the ground. Don’t 'blame the
seedsmen for that.
From now on it will be a battle
with weeds, insect?, diseases, and dry
weather. Everyone knows how to
take care of weeds. A sharp hoe, a
good garden cultivator —perhaps a
garden tractor with all attachments —
and a will to work will keep weeds
down. Chemical herbicides are still
too uncertain to be depended upon.
A straw mulch .put down around
your tomato plants will keep weeds in
check as well as conserve moisture.
We recommend mulching tomatoes and
also staking them. They should be
trained to stakes by tying with soft
twine. Pinch out all side shoots and
, allow only one or two stems to de
velop. This method will give you bet
ter quality tomatoes under our cli
. matic conditions. A lot has been said
I about spraying tomatoes with har-
aligned—soft coil springs on all four
wheels soak up the bumps and
bobbles—honest weight keeps you
on a steady keel.

sure. Buick’s high-compression

spare.
Handling is different-this
car seems to steer itself on
straightaway or curve—
and swings lightly into

mones to get a better set of fruit.
Spraying the first two or three clus
ters of blooms with a harmone such
as “Sureset” or “Fruitone” will give
larger yields on those clusters. Some- 1
times the fruits are seedless. However,
•there has been no advantage gained by
spraying more than the first two or
three clusters. Use the harmones
strictly according to directions on the
package.
