Bay Bridge-Tunnel to Boost
Traffic Virginian /
Predicts
It is essential that North
Carolina and Virginia get to
gether soon on plan for an ac
cess road to the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Sidney S.
Kellam of Virginia Beach, a
member of the Bridge-Tunnel
Commission, told the Elizabeth
City Rotary Club recently.
Kellam said surveys indicat
ed traffic will increase by three
to four times when the bridge
tunnel is completed in late 1963
or early 1964.
, “What is giving me con
cern,” he said, “is whether or
not this area—Eastern Virgin
ia and North Carolina—will
be prepared for it. If we
haven’t built the necessary
roads, people are going to stop
using the bridge-tunnel.”
Discussing access routes, Kel
lam said there were many per
sons who thought the traffic
should be moved to Suffolk
and then on to Emporia. While
he didn’t agree with them, he
said they could make “a pretty
good case.”
“In my opinion, • however,”
he continued, “I don’t know
how we’re going to start asking
people to use a shoreline route
and then send'them inland when
they get to a certain point.
“Or I don’t see how we can
bring them north inland and
then say, ‘Come east to the
bridge-tunnel.’ I don’t see how
you can sell two kinds of ice
cream and tell everybody each
one is the best.
“I think our interest is in a
coastal route all the way from
Maine to Florida.”
Manager George Attix of the
Elizabeth City Chamber of
Commerce said Highway Com
missioner Gilliam Wood of Ed
enton had told him that he was
disturbed by talk in Suffolk to
the effect that North Carolina
would meet any Virginia road
at the state line. Wood said the
! remark referred to alternate
routes proposed in the vicinity
'of Moyock, and not just any
where along the state line.
b Attix said he had gained the
impression that the North
Carolina Highway Commission
was ready to talk over the route
with Virginia officials, and
would be receptive to an invita
tion from them.
Kellam said he didn’t know
what Virginia 'would do, but
that a complete report had been
ordered along Routes 166 and
168. The study is due to be com-

OCEAN IS THE CLASSROOM
' FOR OUTER BANKS COURSE
4
RALEIGH—With that first j
wtirm day in spring, the fever
to fish begins to creep into the
bones of even the most casual i
angler. .
Whether you are a casual ang
ler or a devoted follower of the ,1
art, North Carolina State Col
lege’s Extension Division is
offering a short course in “Sport
Fishing” which should appeal ;
to any and all types of “hook j
wetters”. ,
The short course, which will <
be held on North Carolina’s 1
Outer Banks, will mix class
room instruction with actual
fishing trips in a prescription
sure to suit old and young
nimrods alike.
Famed Hatteras—known
world-wide for its excellent fish
ing and recreational facilities—
will be the site of the 1962
course, June 17-22.
It should be a real “Fishar
ama” at Hatteras during June.
For State College’s week-long
fishing short course will follow
directly on the heels of the inter
nationally famous Marlin Tour
nament.
The Sport Fishing Course has
something to offer for every
type of fisherman:
—Classroom discussions on
the proper handling and care of
equipment and the proper
methods of fishing in both salt
and fresh water.
—A day-long sojourn to the
Gulf Stream.
—At least two trips to the
sounds around Hatteras, which
are usually teaming with bait
hungry fish.
—And as. strictly elective sub
ject, a try at night shark fish-

Just to see North Carolina’s
famed Outer Banks is well worth
the trip. But just add the top
notch fishing in the vicinity of
Hatteras, and it is .enough to
cause even the most sophistiated
angler to oil up the old reel and
break out the favorite lures.
There will be a limited en
rollment for the course, so the
first anglers to register get a
crack at the dwellers of the
deep which live in great abun
dance in the waters off Hatteras.
The coverall registration fee
will take care of all the week’s
activities, including lectures,
fishing trips, meals, room and
gear.
It’s an opportunity a fisher
man just doesn’t want to miss.
