VOLUME XVII NO. 22 ’DARE LEADERS PRAISE PLAN FOR WORKSHOP #To Be Held First Three Days I of Next Week in Interest of Youth Recreation County and community leaders have lots to say about the forth coming Recreation Workshop to be held in Dare next Monday, ’ Tuesday and Wednesday with Vir ginia Gregory, Specialist in Rec reation, in charge. They see it as a golden opportu nity for parents, teachess and youths leaders to learn to promote the type of recreational activities through the family life, in church es, youth clubs and schools, that will contribute to the positive welfare of the children and youth of the county. Here is what they say: ' Mary Kirby, Home Demonstra tion Agent: “The Workshop will > be very helpful for parents and children to teach recreation for wise in schools and churches, com munity activities and especially in the home. Planned recreation is needed to carry out a good pro gram in any club or community activity. I hope everyone will take advantage of the opportunity of fered through the Workshop.” ♦ Mary L. Evans, Superintendent of Dare County Schools: “I think the Workshop will be very helpful for teachers. It is my understand ing that Miss Gregory will demon strate activities that may be use ful in the classroom. On rainy days, the teachers’ initiative is often taxed to find activites for her students. The Workshop will give the teachers many ideas for such occasions.” Mrs. Mabel Meekins, founder of the Avon Youth Club: “We are especially glad that Miss Gregory ovill come below the Inlet for ses sions. We need what she can give us, and more can take advantage of the opportunity when brought to us here in Avon.” Bob Smith, County Agent: “I have great interest in the Recrea tion Workshop to be held in Dare 'County because it brings to my mind the great need for supervised recreation for our youth. Ask yourself, as I have, is my boy or girl a potential delinquent pro blem, or am I? Why have we got ten away from home and church parties like we used to have 25 years ago ? Another fact we have. to face is that only a few adults today build their homes around • the idea of their teenage children , having a place for a party at | their home. We push them off to ' seek recreation elsewhere so that , they do not mess up the home I with dirty dishes and crumbs. I say' now is an excellent time to learn ' from a trained recreational leader, what our youth of today would’ like in the way of home recrea tion.” Melvin R. Daniels, Registrar of , of Deeds: “In my opinion there is | nothing needed more in Dare coun ty than some wholesome recrea tion for the youth of Dare county —and for the grown ups as well. If there is any one thing that should have the wholehearted sup port of the people in the county, l it is this project. When I think of the many things needed in Dare, I know of nothing that would be of more benefit in the future than wholesome recreation for the young people, for after all they are the future of the County, State (pnd Country.” Helen Duvall Daniels, founder of Manns Harbor Youth Club: “Any one who is working with children and young people should welcome this Workshop as the rare oppor tunity it is to -et new and fresh <deas for programs that we can wse in their clubs. We have this chance once in a lifetime, almost, and I think we should show our willingness to learn something that will help us do a better job in guiding young people into the 1 wholesome activities they need to live a full life.” Miss Gregory will hold sessions from 3:30 p. m. till 9:15 p. m. in Avon school on Monday, November 26; and for the same hours in Manteo, in the Community Build *C ing on Tuesday and Wednesday November 27 and 28. Everyone is asked s o bring a sandwich and stays possible for both afternoon and evening sessions. On Wednesday morning, Miss Grejbty will meet with leaders of thenegro community in the Roa noWfe 'School.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT COLINGTON SQUARE DANCE A square dance at the Coling ton school house last Saturday night brought a large attendance, and a fair sum was raised for the Christmas party fund. The community club sponsored the af fair, and will also sponsor the Christmas party for the children. MORE STATE AND FEDERAL GAME - ENFORCEMENT Extra Duck Hunting Stamps Money Provides Means' for Stricter Enforce ment A good tip for all hunters, and especially those who go out today for wildfowl, Will be to take cau tion. The Federal Government is planning stricter enforcement of the game laws this year, and has extra money for the purpose, through a larger allottment of duck stamp funds. North Carolina game authori ties some months ago, announced more strict enforcement of all game laws, and particularly on the hunting of bear and other big game by night. With respect to the wildfowl hunting program, the Fish & Wildlife Service makes the fol lowing announcement: A greatly expanded program of enforcement and management for the protection of the nation’s mi gratory waterfowl resource is an nounced by Albert M. Day, Direc tor of the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice. The enactment of S. 509, now Public Law 182, by the last ses sion of the Congress, authorized an increase in expenditure of duck stamp funds for enforcement and administration from 10% to 15% of annual receipts, at a time when more enforcement officers are sore ly needed to protect the ducks and geese that fly south each au tumn. The Service has estimated that the illegal kill of dueks and geese amounts to about 20 per cent of the legal kill. The new amendment is expected to enlarge enforcement facilities to the ex tent that more waterfowl will fly north each spring to their ances tral breeding grounds. Based upon the sale of approx imately 2,000,000 stamps each year, the Service expects to have an additional $200,000 available to hire and equip enough new agents to bring the enforcement staff up to a strength of about 120 men. The additional funds will permit the placing of 21 new United States Game Management Agents in areas which were previously understaffed. It will also allow the Service to employ undercover agents to check commercialization , and illegal shipment of waterfowl. “Good enforcement is achieved] in large measure through public | i understanding of and resepct for the annual hunting regulations,” | said Mr. Day, and “good regula- i tions can be based only upon sound, factual information. The States, through Pittman-Robertson projects, and the Service, with duck stamp and other funds, are now gathering much information on the year-round status of water fowl. We must be certain that we are making maximum use of all of these data, acquired through the expenditure of public funds, when we undertake the difficult task of prescribing regulations each year. “Management by flyways re quires that additional technical I help be assigned to th» coordina-1 tion of State and Federal activities ; in order that the best possible reg-' ulations may be made for each fly way. I am convinced that we can best achieve this goal through a reorganization of the Branch of Game Management which will combine the law enforcement offi cers and the waterfowl biologists in the same unit, under the same administrative direction. More ef ficient use can then be made of' manpower and equipment in both the law enforcement and the fact finding units. As the end result, the Service expects to be able to gather better data upon which to' base the hunting regulations and' to effect a decided strengthening j of enforcement activities.” To accomplish this consolidation ' of enforcement and management, | the Service Director explained that he is transferring the person- 1 nel and funds of the Section of Waterfowl Management Investiga tions, which includes the flvwav biologists, from the Branch of Wildlife Research to the enlarged Branch of Game Management. “I want the Branch of Game Manage ment to ' become what the name implies,” * said Mr. Day. “Public Law 182 was enacted to improve enforcement. This seems to be the appropriate time to effect a gener al improvement in the whole wa terfowl management program which has long been considered.” , . : x 1 * • .'MASONIC DINNER FRIDAY NIGHT AT RODANTHE ’ Third Get-Together on Outer Banks to honor Widows of Members of Order k The third of a series of dinners by the Masonic fraternity of the Outer Banks, will be held at the Rodanthe school Friday night at 7:30.

NEGRO BAPTISTS CELEBRATE THEIR 86th ANNIVERSARY Roanoke Island Scene of Un usual Assembly of Churches of North eastern North Carolina I Roanoke Island for several days, concluding Sunday night, was the scene of an unusual gathering of Negro Baptists of Northeastern North Carolina, when Haven’s Creek Church of Manteo, celebrat ed the founding of the church for the colored, 86 years ago. The meeting began Wednesday night of last week, and continued through Sunday. It was after the close of the Civil War, the Baptist Church for the Negroes was established, while so many thousands of them were quartered on Roanoke Island. Prior to the War, the Negroes had attended the churches of the white people. With their new freedom, they established their own church es, of the faith in which they had been reared. The Roanoke Island Church got a good start, because at that time, hundreds of Negroes were brought here from all over Northeastern North Carolina, quartered, fed, and employed by the Federal Gov ernment in sawmills and other in dustries established to keep them busy. Featured at the meetings here was the choir of the Jarvisburg Baptist Church. Haven’s Creek Church is known as the mother church of the whole area, and the Baptist at Manteo ; have built since the war one of I the finest church buildings in this section. Rev. B. C. Ellis has been I its pastor for three years. Hay- • wood Wise is Superintendent of the Sunday School. GOOD PROSPECTS AHEAD FOR WATERFOWL HUNTERS RALEIGH, N. C.—Early arrival of large numbers of waterfowl at top hunting spots holds out pros pects of a good season for hunt ers along the North Carolina coast. The 45-day season—five days more than were allotted last year—be . gins at noon on November 22. Bag I limits are unchanged—two geese I and four ducks a day. i At the 50-000-acre Lake Mat itamuskeet refuge which normally winters one of the greatest con centrations of Canada geese, on the Atlantic Flyway, Refuge Pro tector L. B. (Speedy) Tunnell re ports big numbers of geese are on hand, along with more ducks than in several years. He said that only scattered res ervations for blinds and guides are i available for the first couple of weeks of the season, but that there are plenty of vacancies for shoot ing dates after December 10. Res ervations may be made by writing ' Tunnell at New Holland, North , Carolina. | Great flocks of ducks and geese also have come to the widely i known Currituck Sound shooting {grounds, and to Kitty Hawk Bay, , Oregon Inlet, Hatteras and Ocra coke on the Outer Banks.

MANTEO, N. C„ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1951 CHANNEL BASS SCHOOLS WORKING IN TOWARDS ,'CAPE HATTERAS POINT 1 1 Buxton.—On November 16, 1949 . I and again on November 16, 1950, great schools of channel bass have arrived in the surf at the point of Cape Hatteras. Anticipating that the big school of copper beauties ' J would arrive on the same date this : | year has been responsible for sev ' > era! parties of anglers from New ■■ Jersey and elsewhere being here ' i this week. The anglers have been surfcasting with cut bait, either mullet of menhaden, since their arrival several days ago and fish have been caught. The largest to date was a 42-pounder. On November 15 this week fish wise anglers casting at Cape Point saw the gulls working over a school of fish about two miles off shore. “That’s what we’ve been wait ing for,” said Arthur Johnson of Pt. Pleasant, N. J., who arrived on the Outer Banks last week with a dozen of more New Jersey “When that school moves into sportsfishermen. the surf, we’ll start squidding for them,” he said. Channel bass will take tin squids or artificial lures only when they are in schools, it was pointed out. That is why mid- November and the date November 16, is becaming an epochal period for game fishermen in the Cape Hatteras area each autumn. AVON FISHERMEN CATCH FIRST SHAD OF SEASON Avon.—Hauling a net in the surf near Oregon Inlet on Wednesday, Eddie Williams, Percy Williams and Gibb Gray, Jr., Avon commer cial fishermen, caught the first shad taken along the beach of Hatteras Island this year. It was a roe shad and weighed about five pounds. The fishermen had placed their net in a slough where about this time last year they caught almost 90 striped bass .in one afternoon. The stripers weighed more than 2,000 pounds. On Wednesday, the Williams brothers and Gray failed to catch any striped bass, but the lone shad they landed had the dis tinction of being the first of the season. Usually shad are not tak en in quantity until after Christ mas. Good sport fishing is reported on the beach at Avon. Many chan nel bass, weighing from 15 to 45 pounds, have been caught.

MANTEO BANK ISSUES $15,000 FOR CHRISTMAS Largest Club of Local Returned to Depositors This Week Christmas savings of depositors of the Bank of Manteo this year were the largest in the history of the bank, according to John H. Long, Assistant Cashier. The bank this week mailed checks tot aling $15,000 to depositors who have been planning for the se curity of their holiday season. The checks ranged from $12.50 to SSOO each, and will no doubt mean a lot in the tills of local merchants. A good deal of this money is used to pay taxes. It has been customary with several de positors to use a part of their money each year for this purpose.
