Editor Dare County Times: “Just a line to let you know that I remember Manteo and your hos pitality and have a lot of pleasant memories of my short visit there. I often look back at the good times Mr. Dambach and I enjoyed, even though the visit was very short. “I have enjoyed your paper which I have obtained regularly and note with interest your activ ity in trying to make Manteo a more desirable place in which to live, as well as an attractive fishing and visiting resort. Recol lections after a time usually be come more sound, and if I am not presuming too much, may I make a suggestion which I believe is a most constructive criticism offered with the best intentions. “My only criticism was the con dition of the waterfront behind the stores over which prospective fish ermen must travel in order to get boat accommodations. The odor and the sight behind those stores was anything but invitifg and at tractive. I would suggest that it wi6uld be most beneficial to those of the village of Manteo desiring to benefit the business of attracting fishermen that two things should be done. First, that that portion of the beach behind the stores be kept in a more cleanly condition and second, that a more accessible and pleasant walk with steps be con structed from the street back to a more desirable landing. Such an improvement would not be expen sive and would add a lot to the desirability that would be created in a fisherman’s heart to go back again. I remember very distinctly the conditions we found at fisher men’s resorts on the coast of Vir ginia and with very little effort and practically no expense they were far more attractive. “I am only offering this criticism with the kindliest of intentions and have debated for a long time whether I would even suggest the same to you. However, as time passes on and as I remember your kind, wholehearted and courteous friendship, I feel that I owe a duty to my friends in Manteo to so write. “You may rest assured that I am anxious to return again to Manteo. I enjoy your paper very much and would be more than pleased to re ceive a personal letter from youj telling me the news and improve-1 ments that you believe would be interesting to me.” Most sincerely, R. W. Humphrey. 1 Continuing the advance that .has been apparent ever since introduc tion of its new 1939 models, Chev rolet sold 51,966 new cars and trucks at retail in January, W. E. Holler, general sales manager, an nounced here today. This com pares with 39, 469 units in January 1938, and is an increase of 12,566 units or 31.7 per cent. In the same month, Mr. Holler announced, Chevrolet dealers sold 114,375 used cars, or 8,925 more than in January 1938. Combined new and used car sales for the month were 166,341 units, as com pared with 144,919 a year ago. For the past three months, Mr. Holler pointed out, there has been a steady rise in the monthly per centage of increase over sales for corresponding periods in the 1938 model year. In November, the ad vance was slightly more than 6 per cent; in December it was 25.4 per cent, and in January, 31.7 per cent. Generally improved business con ditions, plus the public’s enthusi asm over the 1939 Chevrolet, fea turing new type knee action and the exclusive vacuum gearshift with steering column control, is credited with the sharp upturn, Mr. Holler said. “The .heavy volume of used cars,” he added, “is espe cially gratifying. It shows that in spite of the increased new car business, this end of the dealers’ operation is under complete con trol, so that dealers are in splendid position to move new cars and trucks.” FOUR TO EIGHT THOUSAND CLAIMS WITH UCC A WEEK SWAP Representative Vinson wants the Government to exchange $75,000,- 000 worth of surplus farm com modities for strategic war mater ials which this country lacks, in cluding tin, manganese, tungsten, chrome and other minerals. Initial claims for benefits with the Unemployment Compensation Commission increased about 96 per cent in the first five weeks of 1939, as compared with the last five weeks of 1938, or from an average of 4,440 a week to 8,654 a week, figures compiled in the central of fice in Raleigh show. Except for the Christmas period, the claims increased gradually from about 4,300 a week to about 6,500 a week during the last five weeks of 1938. The first two weeks in January, 1939, showed 11,253 and 12,204, respectively, while the next three weeks showed 7,492, 6,623 and 6,700 claims. The weekly continued claimes averaged 27,145 a week for the last five weeks in 1938 and 37,778 a week for the first five weeks in 1938. ? This first-of-the-year increase is due in part to the fact that num bers of claimants drew benefits for the maximum of 16 weeks last year and still have credits which they can draw after the second benefit year starts, and it started in Jan uary for numbers of claimants. Chairman Charles G. Rowell ex plains, stating that, seasonal unem ployment and the Christmas holi day let-up in business probably entered into the increase. ;; i: Mid - Winter Clearance | CASH - SALE Begins Feb. 15—Lasts through Feb. 28.
