Fishing And All Outdoors 1 TT a r Msa nriAtirif I AN ELEVEN year old boy, Kent Oglethorpe, of Norfolk, may have already sewen up the 1939 channel bass record of America. Fishing with Lee Dough at Oregon Inlet, young Oglethorpe landed a channel bass which weighed 73 pounds and four ounces after it had been out of the water ten hours. The all-time record for channel bass to be landed by rod and reel was the 74 pounder which Charles Beckman landed at Chin coteague, Va., on June 27, 1939. HARDLY A week had passed from the Oglethorpe catch until a channel bass weighing 75 pounds (weighed several hours after it was taken from the water) was landed by Jamie Styron, well-known guide and commercial fisherman at Oc racoke. The sad part of the story is that it was landed in a net. But at that, the channel bass equals the world record, for fish of this species. According to authentic Field and Stream's statistics, Jor dan and Evermann reported a 75 pound channel bass in the "caught in any method" class. (Continued on Page 3) My Neighbor ! Says:zs Nests of spinach holding carrot eggs will appeal to the child whose diet requires many vegetables. Grated cheese sprinkled over the top of clear soup just before It is served adds both flavor and color. Because of its mild flavor veal re quires more seasoning than other meats. Slower cooking is also nec essary. I Leather chairs put in storage are likely to mildew. If a little petro leum ointment is rubbed over the leather the mildew will easily be removed. A small amount of lemon juice, orange juice and grated lemon rind will add flavor to stewed fresh or dried fruits. Use about 1 table spoon of juices and teaspoon of rind for each 2 cups of fruit Associated Newspaper. WNU Service Ancient Wood Pipe Line May Be New Evidence Of Proof The discovery of an an cient wooden pipeline un earthed in the neighborhood of Core Sound recently is be lieved by many to be proof that Sir Walter Raleigh's famous Lost Colony was lost on or in the vicinity of Harkers Island. There are many persons, especially persons who live in Carteret County who be lieve that what is today Harkers Island was the island on which the first English settlers, settled, to be lost before relief ships came back to America a few years la ter. And, apparently, there are peo ple who live outside of Carteret who believe, like many of the cih zens of this county, that credit for the landing of the first English settlers belongs to Harkers and not Roanoke Island. A letter appear ing in the May 6th edition of State Magazine from R. D. Harris, of Roanoke Rapids, is republished herewith for the angles it presents on a reality which might be af ter all an unsolved mystery. The letter follows: ANCIENT PIPE LINE Roanoke Rapids In this issue of State there appears a letter which describes an ancient wood en pipe line which has been un earthed in the neighborhood of Core Sound. I offer the sugges tion that this may very well be supporting evidence for the claim which is made and believed by the inhabitants of Harkers Island, which is also in Core Sound, to the effect that theirs is the true site of the original colony of Sir Wal ter Raleigh, and the site, likewise, of the original fort. Dlhpr PviiU-iir'A in sunnort of this idea may be found by referr ing to a map of the Carolina coast. White's diarv. I believe, states that the first ship entered a harbor and dropped anchor, then sent a land ing party one-half day's row to the eastward, where they landed on an island. It is interesting to note that Beaufort Inlet and Harkers Island are the only geographical points on our coast which satisfy (Continued from Page 8) Plans Progress For Union Revival Rev. Ben F.

Ml BUM fcW" VICTOR, ME E KINS PHAROAH FARROW'S GOLD. Did you ever hear of the story of Pharoah Farrow's gold? It is said to be buried in, the sands at Kinnekeet. Many attempts have been made to find it. Even all the jigging of dikes at Avon failed to uncover it. Avon is a quiet com munity and its people no longer search for the gold. The sound of the word Avon, the peace-loving village of the seacoast seems to connote quiet and rest, and might indicate a village in the country at the side of some gentle brook. The nearest thing to a brook at Avon has no4een gen tle. ,The old Atlantic ocean, lash ed to' fury by the storms, has cut many gulleys across the beach, and made running streams under peoples homes. Graveyards have been washed out. A few years ago through the en terprise of a steam-shovel man and spurred by some sharp resident, the people raised money by popu lar subscription and built a dike some five feet high and two miles in length around the village to shut out the storm tide. There are some who say the idea was con ceived in the hope of digging up Pharoah Farrow's chest of gold, as the dike ran through the site of his old homeplace. Storms have come since, and severely damaged the dike, but it proved the salvation of the'" village. Extensive repairs have been made, and like the wall ed cities of old, protected by boats and dikes, Avon, has only one en trance whereby the traveler may drive in and out.

It is the first tim in history that an en tire community has set e.si s a sol-1 id week to honor a United States . Representative in Congress.

While it was not offici ally stated here today that this would happen, it was authoritative ly understood by this newspaper that efforts are being made to get the government commodities a gency to step in and buy the sur plus cabbage. It is estimated that approxi mately 1,000 acres in Carteret waa devoted to cabbage growing this year. It is estimated by observers, that approximately 50 per cent of the total crop has been harvested. In the meantime with cabbage selling from five to eight dollars per ton, the growers or many of them face ruin, unless they cannot dispose of their cabbage at once. For instance, it is believed that the government will step in and give a hand, as it did last year. ANTHONY'S BROTHER KILLED BY A MULE Mr. and Mrs. J. O.
