VOLUME XXIV NO. 29 WILDFOWL HUNTING SEASON CALLED BY MANY, WORST ONE Old Geese Considered Too Wise to Get Shot; Business Spread Out Thin . There are many theories and opinions expressed pro and con about the poor wildfowl season which ended Thursday, January 15th in North Carolina, and which ended earlier this week in Vir ginia, where the season is reported as among the poorest. The set son started off in great style, and with large attendance on opening day, and in the"-vicin ity of Lake Mattamuskeet where is largest concentration of hunt ers there was hardly room to ac commodate all sportsmen who wanted to shoot. The season started off too, with arrests of upwards of 100 persons .charged with shooting over baited areas. Many guides in Hyde Coun ty today will tell you the adver tising from the arrests, frightened away many sportsmen and cost the hunting industry many thous ands of dollars in business. The game enforcement officers said the arrests were made,on or ders from high up because of a situation that had grown out of hand, due to allegations of wide spread disregard for laws against baiting. In some instances, game war dens declared that farmers had gone and broadcast additional grain about their blinds after ' fowl had exhausted before the sea son’s opening what had been left from the crop harvest. Apparent ly, following the arrests, there was little renwal of feed on for mer baited areas, and this too is considered to have operated in favor of some other hunting areas where there is no available feed from agricultural crop residue. The unusual amount of birds on Hatteras and Ocracoke islands is believed to have resulted from lack of the usual feed on the Hyde mainland causing wildfowl to for age afar from their accustomed haunts. No less an authority than Federal Game Warden Bob Hal stead of Washington believes there is some weight in this theory. At any rate, on Hatteras Island, there has been reported the best . season in some time, and W. D. Lewark at Mirlo Lodge near Ro danthe, says hunting has been ex tra good. This location adjoins the Pea Island bird refuge, which offers some advantages, for bird population has been heavy on the refuge this year, perhaps result ing in heavier flights across ad joining areas on the usual blustery days considered best for hunting purposes in this section. Despite reports of a poor sea son by many persons catering to wildfowl hunting on the Hyde mainland in the Mattamuskeet area, there are on the other hand, many guides and lodges which have had more business than they could handle all through the sea son. Some of these have been in business several years and have established top reputations. Those ‘hunting preserves which have been well-managed, where over-shooting has not been allowed, and where adequate lay-periods are observed, are already known far and wide to a long-established clientele of the most profitable kind. They en • joy good business booked up months ahead of the opening of the season. Many good reports have come fram Ocracoke Island, and the Hatteras area, but in both areas, there are fewer persons each year who cater to the wildfowl hunting business. This is due to the short 'seasons, and in that many of the persons best qualified at this work have become engaged in other per manent occupations and are loath to abandon their usual tasks to assume the expensive hunting bus iness for a mere two-months sea son which has, of course, the ’strong element of risk. Some sections of Currituck County report good hunting, but in most places reports are of an unsatisfactory season. i When guides and hunters be come frustrated because of failure to get good sport; their bag lim its or better, many devices and excuses are employed to erplain away this poor luck. According to A principal argument used these days, all geese now remaining alive are old wise and wary birds w’ho know better than to get with in gunshot. Hunters can’t hit the birds, n ”d say they are old and wise, and keep just far enough away. Os course some of the dis appointed ones are poor shots. If the argument is sound, it then appears there has been too careless slaughter of all the young birds; being that all. of them are “about kjlled off.” One important thing that is never mentioned, is that in these days there are bet ter guns and ammunition, there are many thousands of new hunt bcs, where in the old days only a ‘■few days went out far from home See HUNTING, Page Eight THE COASTLAND TIMES PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE WALTER RALEIGH COASTLAND OF NORTH CAROLINA APPOINTED STATE CHMN., EASTER SEAL CAMPAIGN | w Hml ■ v ■'BLW w.■ - BBL Wri yayffigg Announcement of the appoint ment of Terry Sanford of Fay etteville as state chaii-man of the 1959 Easter Seal appeal has been made in Raleigh by the president of the state chapter, Felix S. Bar ker who directs the State’s special education program. Barker said that over 3,000 physically handicapped Tar Heel children and adults were helped during the past year toward more normal living through rehabilita tion services provided by Easter Seal funds. But such aid only skims the surface, Barker pointed out, since there are over 100,000 disabled people in North Carolina. Referring to the, rapidly ex panding summer carppiAg' pro gram provided by the Easter Seal societies, Barker said that during the past summer a camp for white children and one for white adults were operated in the moun tains of this State and a camp for Negro children was conducted on the Carolina coast. Barker said that new programs of physical therapy for handicap ped persons at home or in the hos pital are now functioning in the central and southern sections of the State. A third such program is now being set up in the Pied mont, he said. “We feel that the handicapped child is everyone’s child and that the handicapped adult has the same rights as the able-bodied ad ult,” Barker declared, “These pro grams seek to help handicapped persons help themselves, and to mak them productive, self-respect ing, and happy citizens.” CIVIL TERM OF COURT IN DARE LASTED DAY AND HALF At a cost of some §4OO a day, and using about one and a half days of time, the special term of Superior Court held in Dare Coun ty this week knocked off, Tuesday afternoon after settling a few civil actions and granting a divorce. Judge Malcolm Paul of Washing ton presided, holding court in Monday forenoon and all day Tues day. The total immediate cost for Jurors and stenographer came to $616.05 which is not quite half what the usual terms of court cost, the county commissioners this time having the foresight in drawing the jurors, to weed out "the cripples and to draw less than the usual number who have been coming to court to pile up need less cost to the county. Two judgments were granted on Monday, both against Elmer Mid gett, one-time plumber in Manteo. R. S. Wahab of Ocracoke got a judgement for $770, and L. D. Tarkington for $612.74. Os 16 cases, Il were continued for vari ous reasons. Judgments were tak en in two of them by the plaintiffs. Ernest Scarborouh. negro, was granted a divorce from Charlotte Scarborough. TOURIST BUREAU BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO MEET There will be a meeting of the Dare County Tourist Bureau board of directors January 21 at 10 o’clock in the Community Building at Manteo, J. G. Kellogg chairman, states. Other officers are Wheeler I Ballance, Hatteras, vice chairman and Archie Burrus, secretary treasurer, whose duties are cur rently being handled by W. H. McCown, former chairman and one of the bureau’s organizers. “The January meeting of the board is always an important one, because at that time we are mak ing plans for bringing more per sons to Dare on visits and vaca tions,” said Kellogg. Members of the board of direct ors in addition to the officers named are: Alvah H. Ward, W. H. McCown, L. L. Swain, T, H. Briggs, Margaret Davis, Asa Gray, R. E. Jordan, Tom Chears, E. E. Meekins, Mrs. W. S. White, Mel vin Daniels, Mrs. Juanita Parker and George Crocker. BLUE MARLIN DUEL AT HATTERAS WITH PUERTO RICANS A “blue water duel” with giant marlin as the objective will be one of the big events destined to bring additional big-game fish ing fame to waters off Cape Hat teras this year. It will be a chal lenge match between Puerto Rico’s fishing team of San Juan’s Club Nautico and a similar group of anglers from the Billfish Club of Hatteras. Dr. J. C. Overbey, president of the club and a Norfolk dentist who in recent years has done much to promote local game fishing, said the challenge fishing match had been set for the first or second week of June, and it will be in addition to a proposed internation al blue marlin tournament also planned for Hatteras this year. Following the Hatteras fishing match, the two teams would meet again during late August or early September in Puerto Rican wat ers, and the idea behind it all according to Esteban A. Bird, vice commodore of Club Nautico and captain of the Puerto Rican team that will come to Hatteras, is to determine ,‘once and for all the question of which area has the most blue marlin—and catches the most.” Last year 79 blue marlin were caught by anglers off Hatteras and Oriegon Inlet. Senpr Bird claims that as many as nine blue have been taken in one day off Puerto Rico, not counting the present 780 pound world record for 80 pound test line.

He discussed the importance of all males growing beards, “be cause beards are one of the pri mary trademarks of the Jamboree each year.” He outlined how the vacation season was once only a three months deal for Dare, but See JAMBOREE, Page Eight UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES: Rat Race vs. Sanity, Decency and Morality Is Issue of "Folks Against the People" Dear Mr. Editor: It’s beginning to look like this rat race we are in has about nar rowed down to an issue -of “The Folks Against the People.” We are having to fight each other all the time instead of fighting together for something worth while. And it’s going to be worse and worse. It is somewhat amusing to see Mr. Ed Sillivan flying to Cuba to glorify himself by talking to the bandit Castro and trying to make it appear this Castro is a saint and liberator, at the same time when Castro’s crowd are shooting their fellow’ Cubans in the back by the thousands. What difference does it make who is in power in Cuba; they are all of the same stamp. We went down there and licked the Spaniards, gave ’em their freedom, and paid Spain for taking it away from them and paid Spain’s ex penses for fighting us. We made the Cubans free of Spain, and all they’ve done is fight among them selves the past 60 years. , Now Mr. Editor, we are doing the same things here in the United States. We haven’t had time to get around to much shooting, but w'e are doing just as bad, and maybe worse than if we had been slaying some of the dead-hedds and get ting them out of the way. It’s a steady war all the tame, the one crowd who won’t work, with the help of the politicians, living off all of us who do work, and driving us to death supporting a wasteful government that is giving our country away to heathen foreign ers. We also see our schools dis rupted, and our children being de nied an education because a group of judges decided to make laws and force millions of our people to go against nature and commonsense. This has come about because of the craze of some of our politicians for votes. This craze for votes has led them into allowing labor racketeers who gain control of large segments of our country. Overnight they can paralyze our and send the cost of living skyrocket ing beyond the ability of our poor people to pay. Nobody ever thinks about the people. It’s always a case of a few folks with the power they have wheedled out of the govern ment, making war against the ma jority of the people. No, my friends, we do not have majority rule in this country. We hive minority rule. A few of the folks divide up the gravy. Does the welfare money go to those who need it, or to the ones who stand in with the politicians? If you can be kin to an office-holder, you can get more consideration. Who gets SLATED AS SPEAKER ON ACHIEVEMENT DAY WALLACE H. McCOWN is to be the speaker in Manteo, Saturday morning at 10:30 on the Achieve ment Day program on the 4-H groups of Dare County. Mr. Mc- Cown, who is Dare County attor ney, is well-known as a civic and church leader, and as a good speaker. The program will be held in the Manteo High School auditorium. The purpose of the 4-H Achieve ment Day is to recognize the 4-H county winners in different proj ects throughout the year. These project winners will receive gold filled medals for outstanding work in their selected projects. 4-H’ers will have a big part in the program. Nancy Coles Bas night, President of the 4-H County Council, will act as Master of Cer emonies. Other 4-H’ers to have a part in the program are Susan Bas night, Jan Oneto, Charlotte Perry, Carol Hooper, Nancy Pearl Mid gett, Charles Perry, Caryn Gray, (Johnny Hooper, Michael Parker, ( Mary Charles White, Della Bas- ( night, Nancy Lynn Midgett, Mar vin Sparrow, Mary Elizabeth Earle, | Mary Rogers and Carrol Harris. Presentation of awards will be by Mrs. Fran A. Cullus and J. L. Rea, Jr., the Dare County Home and Farm Agents. the gravy jobs paid by the taxpay ers? Why just look who they hand them out to. Do they always go to someone who has no other income, or to somebody who is already drawing down big pay from Uncle Sam. Do you ever stop to think that the taxpayers are putting up this money also. It looks to me like this war of a few folks fighting all the people is going to last a long time, and if we people don’t put more pep into defending ourselves, we can expect it to be a lot worse before t gets any better. We have been encouraged for so long a time to try to get some thing for nothing until it has be come second nature to many peo ple. Instead of working for the good of the majority it has devel oped into a rat-race against sani ty, decency, morality and common sense. We no longer think first about what is good for our com munity, but how much we can get out of the people for it. We don’t think what is of profit in the finer sense, but first of the fast buck. We want the fleeting glory, ful some flattery’, foolish praise appar ently to be plastered with mayon naisse from the pature instead of the solid satisfaction that should come to hearts secure in the knowledge of honest achievement. If it’s going to be a war of some folks against us people, and we have to be in it whether we like it or not, let’s wade in and do our part to make it a real war. The sooner we get on the offensive, the more chance we will have of win ning it. We’ll never win it if we are content to stay on the defen sive. Yours for more backbone and lesis bull. UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK MRS. FEARING HEADS EASTER SEAL CAMPAIGN k The Dare County Chapter, head ed by Mrs. W. B. Fearing of Man teo, as chairman, is now complet ing plans for its part in the 1959 campaign. Mrs. Fearing said that the group is hoping to extend the local serv ices now being rendered by the chapter. A recent informal survey disclosed many local physically handicapped persons wlu> need the type of assistance made available by the State society and local af filiates. The Dare County campaign will formally get underway on Febru ary 27, the same date as elsewhere in North Carolina. BIGGEST TURNOUT OF THE N. C. SOCIETY FOR ANDY GRIFFITH Four Hundred Carolinians Do Honor to a Native Son in Washington Saturday What many people say was the biggest turnout yet put on by the North Carolina Society in Wash ington, D. C. was the dinner and dance attended by 400 in honor of Andy and Barbara Griffith, on Saturday night, Jan. 10th in the Mayflower Hotel. Long after the allotted number of dinner tickets were sold out, appeals were made to obtain others. Ex-President Harry Truman was one of the notables who came to the party held in the Pan-American Room prior to the dinner, and with him was National Democratic Chairman Paul Butler. Several United States Senators at tended, including Senator John McClellan of Arkansas, who is chairman of the much-famed com •mittee ■ investigating racketeers among labor unions. Senators Er vin and Jordan of North Carolina, and just about all the State’s Con gressmen attended, with their wives. Mrs. Emma Neal Morrison, the President of the North Carolina Society, arranged the party, and it was no small triumph for her as the first event at the beginning of her term of office that the So ciety has held. The society each year holds a reception or dinner in honor of a distinguished North Carolinian. Andy Griffith, a suc cessful screen and television star, is currently rehearsing a Broad way musical. He flew down from New York Friday night, while Mrs. Griffith drove up from their home near Manteo. Mrs. Morrison is the wife of Dr. Fred W. Morrison and are well known in Dare County where they spend their summers in their beach home in Kill Devil Hills. Dr. Morrison is head of the big Washington law' firm which was founded by himself and the late former Governor Max Gardner of N. C. Mrs. Gardner was one of the guests at the dinner. The N. C. Society is composed of North Carolinians now tempo rarily or permanently residing in the nation’s capital. It has many distinguished members, and its dinners bring notable resident North Carolinians to participate. Among the visitors present Satur day night was State Treasurer Ed win Gill who is prominently men tioned for the Governorship in 1960 and numerous others in pub lic life across the state. Others included Mr. and Mrs. Louis V. Sutton, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Goerch of Raleigh. Attend ing the event from Manteo were Mr. and Mrs. Victor Meekins. David Brinkley, NBC news com mentator of Wilmington, N. C. was master of ceremonies. Plans for entertaining the 32- year-old Andy began last fall when Mrs. Morrison visited the Griffiths at their home on Roanoke Island. Some difficulty in arrang ing the program showed up until the actor learned whether he would be in the east instead of on the west coast at this time of the new year. As usual in making these ap pearances, Andy paid tribute to Roanoke Island, his homeplace which he and his wife both prefer to Hollywood. He told the dinner that he loves the Outer Banks and its wonderful people. Griffith himself was a tremen dous success Saturday night when he did several numbers for the occasion, and he and Barbara won tremendous ovations. They were married at Fort Raleigh during the time they appeared in the cast of the Lost Colony, a period of several years. Barbara played the leading role, Eleanor Dare, in the Lost Colony. She is from Troy, N. C. and Andy from Mt. Airy, but they always wanted to make their home here, and some three years ago, they bought the 58- acre tract and home of the late Dr. Joseph Barach of Pittsburgh. Among the numbers rendered by Andy Saturday night was the rich monologue he did several years ago: “What it was was football,” a sosuthera deacon’s reaction to his first football game, which was widely and successfully used as a recording throughout the country. See N. C. SOCIETY, Page Eight Saturday night he was accom panied by Dave McWilliam’s or chestra which played for the dance in the Mayflower Ballroom. One of his group of singers is Miss Anne Morrison, a niece of Dr. Fred Morrison. Assisting Mrs. Morrison is arranging the event were Mrs. W. Harold Williamson, Charlotte, Chairman of Hospital ity; Mrs. B. Biaxton Jones of Kinston, Chairman of Dinner Tic kets; Mrs. Macie Lowe, Lincoln ton, Chairman of Dance Tickets; Mrs. Henry C. Soper, formerly of Wilmington and Greensboro, Chairman of Publicity. Single Copy 7# GOVERNOR HODGES AT HATTERAS HAS PART IN ORGANIZING Hatteras Blue Marlin Club Organ ized For Activities of Top- Notch Sportsmen This Year Organization of a Hatteras Blue Marlin Club with a mem bership to include some of the na tion’s wealthiest sportsmen, plus the further development of bill fishing off the Outer Banks, is ex pected to result from a meeting held in Hatteras Monday night, Arrangements for the meeting were made by Governor Luther H. Hodges through his Dare contacts and Charles Johhnson of Palm Beach and Biltmore, one of the nation’s outstanding sportsfisher men and also owner of more Chevrolet agencies in southeastern United States than any other per son. Governor Hodges, Earl Phillips of High Point, a big game fishing member of his N. C. Ports Au thority, Woodrow Price of the News and Observer, Mr. Johnson and Bounce Anderson of West Palm Beach, Hal Wilson, secre tary-treasurer of the recently or- f ganized N. C. Blue Marlin Asso ciation, Bill Wilkins of Norfolk and Stanley Wahab of Ocracoke were the off-islanders present at the meeting. Some 25 or more Hatteras citi zens representing the sportsfish ing vacation and business interests of the island were present at the meeting held at the Blue Marlin docks following dinner at which the visitors were guests of local residents in Thurmond Ballance’s Channel Bass Restaurant. The visitors indicated that many private fishing boats would be bas ing at Hatteras during the blue marlin season this year and they wondered what the reaction would be if efforts were made to intro duce new methods of fishing, and if improvements wold be made in outfitting local charter cruisers for better or more suitable facilities than most of the craft have at present. The reaction was that lo cal operators were always ready to improve their facilities. Following the departure of Gov ernor Hodges shortly before noon on Tuesday, Johnson, Phillips and Anderson looked over various places of accommodation, with thoughts of having suitable hous ing for big game fishermen they claim will be coming to Hatteras and also a place suitable for es tablishing clubhouse facilities where the big game anglers could meet socially following a day in the Gulf Stream. Anderson, who produced the Cape Hatteras National Seashore travel film and rents a home at Hatteras where he has spent the past two summers, will be key man in the club set-up planned.
