Fresh water fishermen who have
howled In protest at the weather
man for providing icy-temperatures
In April have no monopoly on com
... plaining. Salt water guides along
f the North Carolina Coast have been
: equally 'vociferous " in their woe.
. Sub-normal readings have kept the
usual runs of bluefish and Gulf
Stream fish out of the productive
Tarheel ' ocean area except in
scattered instances. One notable
catch was made early in the week
' by a party fishing frrfm Captain
" Hay. Stubbs "Bessie Ray" out of
South port .. along Frying Fan
Shoals. Santa K Gaffney of Randle
: man, 'N. C, and party picked up
32 bluefish on the Shoals . , and
they averaged' two pounds apiece.
Captain Stubbs said it was good
fishing, if you dont mind the high
winds and the rough riding that
went with it The turn to warmer
weather after mid-week figured to
bring the blues in In greater num
bers and give Gulf Stream parties
their first big amberjack of the
season.

The annual spring madness that
. has been- called "Rockin" on the
River" is moving into its hot-and-heavy
stage along the Roanoke
River at Weldon. Late-week reports
tell of increasing numbers of stri
ped bass moving into the River for
their annual spawning; run. The
cold weather agaia kept the rock
fish from beginning their spawning
. . but several fish were caught by
Book and line fishermen, using live
and cut bait Rockfish spawn when
the water temperature reaches m
degrees. Up until the middle of the
week, the . temperature had gone
no higher than 07 degrees. a . '
The State Striped Bass Hatchery
was opened for. business on Tues
day, and officials said a small num
ber of eggs were brought in. The
Hatchery is paying twenty dollars
per million for rockfish eggs this
year, and a good sized roe striper
will produce that many eggs.
Tor the past two week-ends, de
mand for boats for rent has far
exceeded the supply. The advice,
then, is to bring your own boat to
Weldon, if possible, and launch it
at the new access area provided by
the North Carolina Wildlife Re
sources Commission. A launching
railway is provided, free of charge,
at the area located in front of the
hatchery. , .
Local observers predict that it
will be about May 1st before the
big spawning activity really starts
- but that plenty of fish will be
caught prior to that time.

Pier fishermen along the coast
have had spotty lack during the
early days of the season, depend
ing on the amount of southerly
winds. Bill Robertson at Kure's
Pier at Kure Beach says the whit-

to northly will drive, them back

What promised to be one of the
most productive channel bass sea
sons in years along the Dare Coun
ty coast had to take a recess for

says he's not worried, though
that "frivolous April" is about to

By Chaplain Gus Noland '
' I am reminded of a story read
a long time ago. A lifeboat full
of people was floating around in
the Atlantic after the sinking of
the ship. Days passed, and the pass
engers were out of drinking water.
Hope of being rescued had reached
an all - time low. If only they
had water, perhaps they could last
a few days longer. Finally, a tiny
sailboat appeared on the horizon,
and after frantic attempts to at
tract the boat they- finally suc
ceeded. As the boat drew near, their
hopes sank again; the sailboat was
even smaller than their lifeboat
Rescue was impossible, so they ask
ed for water. A voice on the sail
boat bellowed out to them, "Let
down your buckets." It was hard
to understand what he meant Fin
ally; it dawned on one of the ship
wrecked crew members that they
were in the Gulf Stream, a river
of pure water. All they wanted was
were lor uie uuuugi
People are finding themselves In
the same situation these days; dy
ing for friendship, for close com
panionship where fellowship can be
enjoyed. They are unconscious of
the fact that their souls needs are
all around them.
Sometime ago I met a most char
ming lady of seventy-five. She was
eating ice cream. I smiled at her
mainly because she remined me of
my own mother. Holding her sooon
between bites, sort of etvina it a
little shake, and the way she smak-
led her lips drew me to her. As she
finished and started to leave, I saw
she wanted to say something. As
I was about to open my mouth, she
broke In saying, "You know, I was
seventy five years old a short time
ago, and someone said to my daug
hter, "Your mother Is seventy-five
but she does not look it" My daug
hter said, "No, but I wish she would
act it!" -With that she sat down
beside-me and we had a wonderful
chat She said, "Everyone calls me
Carrie Belle, but my name is Mrs.
J. E. Smith, A Georgia Cracker."
When I told her I was born in
Georgia, that sealed our treindship.
She is from Dudlln where Mr.
Smith had a large supply store -"The
Four Seasons," as it . was
known. Mrs. Smith said, "The boll
weevil got our money any every
thing else except my million-dollar
outiif e on life. Mrs. Smith is,
discovered, a niece of General
Blackshear ot Civil War fame. She
now lives with her daughter. Miss
Clyde Smith, the city librarian.
They live In an apartment over
the library in Raleigh, N. C. Both
attend the Bdenton Methodist Chu
rch. If my. friend, Carrie Belle
spreads as much fun and joy every
day as she did when I saw her
walking back toward the library,
neaven itseu will nave te be en
larged to accommodate her. She
had certainly learned the secret of
gracious living and is spreading it
wherever she goes.
The subject of Rabies or mad
dog disease is again important and
due some discussion. 7 The disease
la very old and yet there are sev
eral cases in our county each year.
It is a serious virus disease and is
preventable but not curable. Rabies
will kill dogs, cats, foxes, cattle,
horses' and man. There is real dan
ger in this disease right here with
us. ,
Dogs are the animals that are
effected most They are, likewise,
the carrier of the disease. If we
will recognise our own responsi
bility as a dog owner, it will solve
tne problem. ",-,
I consider a dog a friend to man.
Heis a pet or a hunting dog or a
worthless stray dog.
The pet or hunting dog Is worth
vaccinating annually to protect him
and the owner's family. Remember
Rabies kills dogs also, the worth
less, stray dog Is often the rabid
dog and nobody owns him. -
I therefore, request that each dog
owner vaccinate his dog or else
destroy them and not allow the
public to be endangered by them.
There seems to be no other way
to manage Rabies. ,
Dr. Phillips, veterinarian of Wal
lace. N. C is the appointed Rabies
Controller. His clinic will be pub
lished later. He may appoint others
to neip nun. . '
I appeal to you to vaclnate your
dog or else get rid of him. There
