Although a branch bank on the beach is now assured it will not become a reality until next spring, W. R. Pearce of the Bank of Manteo said this week. Approval of the application for a branch bank came so late that it would not be possible to get a building erected in time for this season. The building probably will be located on a lot the bank owns on the ocean side of the high way, near the Carolinian hotel. It will be a brick structure. Al though the plans are not com plete, Mr. Pearce said that it would be an attractive building. The branch bank will have a drive-in window, believed to be the first in North Carolina east of Greenville. This window will be of bullet proof glass set in stainless steel, with a drawer that can be pushed out and drawn back. Eventually, lobby space and other facilities will be added.

C. DONATIONS SPUR PLAN FOR CITY HALL BUILDING Gifts of Building, Site Use, Moving Costs Accepted by Commissioners Kill Devil Hills Through the generosity of several individuals and firms, the newly incorpor ated town of Kill Devil Hills is to have a city hall. When the mayor and com missioners met Monday night, they learned that C. A. Hardee had given them a building used by the contractors working on his beach cottage. It is about 20x30 feet, and can be made usable, Mayor J. L. Murphy said, by covering the outside with asbestos siding and putting a tight roof on it. The plan may also include finishing the inside with sheetrock. John Ferebee has agreed to move the building, charging only for the labor, which he said would not exceed $25. He told the mayor he wanted to do that for the new town. The Manteo Furniture Co., which owns property across from the Kill Devil Hills post office, offered the use of that site for the town hall. To make it legal, so that the town could remove the building when it de sired to do so, the land will be leased at $1 a year. In discussing the plan, Mayor Murphy pointed out that the hotels were now going into their busy season, so that it is no longer feasible to meet in their dining rooms. At meetings held in private homes, presence of the public is not practical, so that the temporary town hall plan was adopted as a stopgap measure. In this connection, announce ment was made that Mr. Town ley, operator of the Nautilus, would donate a kerosene heat ing stove. SAMPLE CATCHES TWO SEA MULLET ON FIRST CAST Nags Head. Two sea mullets on the first cast was the luck of W. ’C. Sample, Jr., of Elizabeth City, Monday. He, his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Warren Sample came to the beach that afternoon for a little fishing and went home with 35 or 40 sea mullets, some of which weighed a pound and a quarter. They were using shrimp for bait. Other successful fishermen Mon day were Mr. and Mrs. R. E. (Jelly) Brinn of Newport News, Va., who caught nearly 75 king fish, sea mullets and Virginia whitings. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Bennett of Charlotte, here for just a few days, caught 20 kingfish Monday. All of them were fishing off Jennette’s pier. A woman, whose name in the excitement was over looked, caught a three-pound bblue fish Sunday, and a number of other good catches of blue were reported. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING THE COASTLAND TIMES. MANTEO. N. C. WARREN JENNETTE HAS OWN SYSTEM TO SPUR FISHING Nags Head. lt was 4 o’clock in the afternoon and even the most ardent fishermen casting off Jennette’s pier were getting dis couraged when Warren Jennette came back from Elizabeth City. “Here, this won’t do,” he de clared. “Unless somebody catches a fish pretty quick, everybody will leave. I believe I’ll go out and catch a sea mullet.” So he did, —two of them, in fact. “Now I belive I’ll catch a speck led trout,” said he. So he did. And just about that time, fish ing got so good the Izaak Waltons were wearing themselves out reeling in the catch That lasted about an hour, till a school of porpoise came along and scared the fish away. According to Mr. Jennette, he. has to resort to just such drastic measures every once in a while, though some of his customers hint he just wants an excuse to fish. He uses a Sea Hawk lure, which he claims is designed specially for pier fishing. They are becoming so popular that the Florida fac tory that makes them can’t keep up with orders. And there’s a story behind that, too. Mr. Jennette had noticed that the occasional person who fished off the pier with that lure had success, but although he question ed everybody, he couldn’t find where to buy them. No wonder, because the factory had closed its doors for lack of orders. Finally, Mr. Jennette found somebody that remembered where MANTEO STUDENTS ON WEINER ROAST Nags Head.

DIGGING ON BEACH PROVOKES OWNER Kitty Hawk. D. M. Jackson of Hertford is adding two rooms beside his garage on the ocean front. This place formerly was known as the Penn Marshall cottage. Mr. Jackson ts the Jackson Wholesale Co, was disturbed, when he came to attending to the building, to find that a pit five feet deep had been dug out of the beach in front of his cot tage. He said it was far above the high tide mark to be filled in by action of the tides. He esti mated six gondolas of sand and gravel had been removed.

C. Price mcteew w»» ■» he bought the lures. A telephone call brought a couple of gross of them, and the box had the manu facturer’s name and address on it. Another telephone call found that the factory was closed, but that the manufacturer would open it for an order for all it could produce in 20 days. When the lures began arriving, Mr. Jennette showed hig customers how to use them, they had success and the lures caught on at once with the fishing public. Since then, the factory has never been closed a day. Well, that’s the way Mr. Jen nette likes to do business at his pier, which he has operated ever since he got out of the produce business in Elizabeth City. The pier was first built in the spring of 1939 by him, his father and brothers. A permit to do so was issued by the U. S. war de partment Feb. 17, 1939. Con struction started the next month and the pier was completed in June of that year. Storms and salt water worms, however, took their toll and the pier went down three years later. Because of the threatening inter national situation at that time,, creosote piling couldn’t be secured. In 1945 Warren Jennette bought out the original owners, the Jen nette Fruit Co., and the following year he built the present pier. Besides the pier, he has cabins with 30 rooms, some with kitchens. This week, he had the former case building on the grounds moved and started remodeling it to provide another five rooms. 7-ROOM COTTAGE IS GOING UP FOR WILLIAMSTON MAN Nags Head. T. B.
