l ‘ VOLUME XX NO. 30 2 ANGLERS GET SIOO FOR 3 FISH CAUGHT AT CHICAMICOMICO Colerain Folks Get Nice Prizes For Catch Made in Surf at Waves Last October Waves, Jan. 20—Three channel bass weighing a total of 135 pounds and landed in the surf abreast this Outer Banks village last October by two Colerain ang lers were worth SIOO. That is be cause these three big fish were the largest landed in that area during 1954. Os the total amount, Hezzie Pierce received SBO, representing first and second prize in the all year Waves Rodanthe Surf Fish ing Contest. His biggest bass, a 50 pounder measuring 50 inches from tip to tip and 29% inches around its girth, won first prize of SSO in cash. A second channel bass scal ing at 44 pounds, measuring 47% inches from tip to tip and 28 inch es around its girth, caught short ly after he had landed the larger fish, was runnerup in the contest to win $0 in cash. Pierce’s fishing companion, W. J. Britt on the fol lowing day brought in a 41 pound er measuring 50 inches from tip to tip and 28 inches around its girth. This fish won third prize in the contest or S2O in cash. A. H. Gray, Waves merchant, bad charge of the contest which in a Financial way was sponsored by Donald C. Todd of Pittsburgh, Pa., and R. D. Owens, owner operator of Chicamacomico Motel located between Waves and Ro danthe. Although dozens of big fish have been entered in the Ro danthe-Waves Contest during the past two years, all prize winners have been anglers from Colerain. In 1953, W. S. Hughes of Colerain won the grand (and only) prize for biggest fish of the vear, a 41- rounder measuring 50 inches from tin to tip and 28 inches around its girth. . . the 1954 win ners were announced this week when Gray mailed checks to Pierce and Britt. Business men of Waves, Rodan the and Mirlo Beach, all in a two mile radius, sponsored a fishing tournament also in late October which is the first of what is prom t ised to be an annual affair, and which attracted much interest. While heretofore overlooked, largely because no one has been interested in catering to would-be fishermen in this area, there is not a better place for fishing in either ocean or sound along the N. C. coast. In fact, some of the best surf fishing of the entire season has been in this area, especially near the stranded shins abreast of Waves and Rodanthe, and Pamlico Sound too offers good fishing with rod and reel. PHONE COMPANY'S STIFF DEMAND HEARING FEB. I Norfolk & Carolina Seeks to Increase Phone Rates By Half; It Is Expect ed Request Will Be Granted A hearing on the proposed rate hike of the Norfolk and Carolina Telephone Company will be held February 1, at 10 a.m., ac cording to Stanley Winborne, chairman of the North Carolina Public Utilities Commission in Raleigh. The hearing will be held in the hearing room of the Pub lic Utilities Commission in Ra leigh. The telephone company has ask ed the commission for authority to increase its annual income by $195,165 a year. This would change the rate on a top rate busi ness phone from $6.75 to $9.75 and top rate residential phones from $4 to $5.50 per month. Since there appears little or ganized opposition to this rate in crease in sight at the time, many people believe the company will be granted its request for what is widely considered a most unrea sonable rate hike. There is bound to be a decrease in the number of phone subscribers when they find that instead of $1 they must pay 31 50 for their servce. One person as suggested that instead of ask .ng for increased rental for their phones, the subscribers should ask the Commission to order a 50 per cent increase in service. CLARENCE H.

Members of the steering com mittee with whom he has discuss ed the addition of a beach buggy race included A. H.

C. CLASSIC “Riding to hounds” in jeeps and stock cars has become an annual classic at the beach resort of Nags Head, North Carolina, where the seventh annual Valentine Season Foxhunts will take place Febru ary 17-19. The Nags Head event draws sportsmen and spectators from half a dozen states, and the pack of blue-blooded foxhounds they follow over the dunes and beaches is marshalled from the Carolinas and Virginia. John Ray Watkins, of Oxford. North Carolina, will again be Master of Foxhounds, as he has been for the past six years, and will lead the motorized “field” in a station wagon. Headquarters for the three days of foxhunting are at the ocean front Carolinian Hotel at Nags Head. A “hound-tel” is installed nearby to house the more than 100 foxhounds brought to the coast for the chase. The Hunt Ball, a rollicking square dance featuring a string band and an amateur floor show, will be held at the Carolinian the evening of February 19. Each day of foxhunting begins at 7 a.m. after guests at the Carolinian are awakened by the music of an old-fashioned hunting horn. The first “cast” of hounds is usually made near Bodie Island Lighthouse, just south of Nags Head, and hunting days some times begin in the Nags Head woods overlooking Roanoke Sound, or on Collington Island. There is a plentiful supply of ?rey foxes in the Nags Head re gion, and often as many as three ire accounted for in a single day’s hunting which last from early morning until dusk. FRED S. PINNER.

Mr. Ferebee picked them up on the beach at Nags Head, and gave them some food. Their stay at the town hall doesn’t speak too well for the alertness of the town, for despite their tender age, Mr. Cannady didn’t call their parents to notify them, stating that the town would not pay for such phone calls, and he would have to wait to morning to get the county to pay for a call. They did get $5 for the rifle they carried, which was enough to buy them bus fare back to Elizabeth City, and they left Manteo, for gotten foi the time being. They announce ! thiir plan to go ’’ome, but were later seen in Elizabeth City. In Ma.iteo they said they had run out of gas and sold the rifle for money to buy gas. JOHN R.
