’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.

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.”

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.

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.
