Dr. W. W. Harvey, Jr. To Visit
Hatteras Village Clinic
Each Wednesday
Hatteras Island, whose resi
dents have been without a doctor
for the past six months, will re
ceive the services of a 3Ianteo
medical practitioner beginning
on Nov. 21, when Dr. 3V. 3V.
Har\’ey Jr. will provide medical
attention for the ill at the new
ly-created Hatteras 3Iedical
Clinic on a one-day-per-wcek
basis.
Dr. Hai-vey, a Duke Univer

and a resident of 3Iantoo since
195G, announced that he will fly
to Hatteras each Wednesday un
til 3Iay, in an effort to provide
motlical attention for the island
ers.
The clinic will be conducted at
the old Gen. 3Iitchell 31otel at
Hatteras and, except in cases of
extreme emergency, treatment
will be by appointment only
Hours for the clinic are from 9
a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The appoint

Hatteras.
Civic Group Succe.ssful
Tlie doctor’s seivices were ac
quired through the efforts of the
newly-created Hatteras Village
Civic Association, a group which
still hopes to .acquire a full-time
medical practitioner at Hatteras
Village.
Another goal of the organiza
tion is the construction of a
i modern medical facility in the
village. Efforts for the construc
tion of such a building were
given a boost several weeks ago
by a contribution promise of
$500 from Charles F. Johnson, of
Asheville, a member of the Hnt-
teras 3Iarlin Club.
Until such a facility is acquir
ed, Dr. Harvey vvill utilize the
old Gen. 3Iitcholl Motel building
which has been converted into a
clinic with a waiting room, of
fice and examining room. Med
ical supplies for the doctor will
be supplied from stock at the
Buxton Medical Center.
Although Dr. Harvey will be
unable to provide service for
'Hatteras Island after April,
members of the Hatteras As
sociation hope to have a full

Refuge and hunters throughout
the Tar Heel Coastland and from

their limit during the wildfowl

noon on Saturday.
L. B Tunnell, refuge manager
at the Lake 3Iattamuskett 33'ild-
life Resources Commission’s
Checking station says that 87,
000 Canadian geese have already
arrived at the refuge and in
dicates that thousands more will
probably arrive within the next
two weeks.
Tunnell stated that the geese
number at least a thousand more
than the bird arrivals at this
time list year. “3Ve definitely
have more geese here than we
have them for the last two or
three years. 3Iost of the geese
are Canadian, but there are blues
and snows here—at least several
hundred.”
Fewer Ducks
There arc, however, 25,000
fewer ducks than last year at
the 3Iattamuskeet Refuge. Tun-
ncll reports that approximately
35,000 have been spotted wing
ing their way into the feeding
aieas at the lake. Last year
more than G0,000 were reported.
Tlie 60,000 acre reseivation at
Lake 31attamuskeet is equipped
vvith 3G blinds and a guide for
each blind. 3Ioro than 300 pri
vate guides are on duty in the
area to assist hunters seeking
to utilize the hundreds of acres
which sorraund the lake-site.

3IANNS HARBOR — Striped
bass fis’ning has continued up to
par during the past week and
the fish, mostly two and three
pounders, but some going to 8
pounds have been caught by
anglers aboard charter boats,
privately owned outboard-power
ed craft and by anglers who
waded the shallow waters near
the shore and cast for them
with artificial lures.
Bob Pond and Bob Preston
caught three averaging seven
pounds each while casting from
shallow shore-waters near the
north end of Roanoke Island on
33'ednesday. They were using
“Atom Plugs,” manufactured
and distributed by Pond, to make
the catches.
Preston stated after their
33'edncsday catch that ca.sling
from shallow waters near the
shores of Croatan and Albe
marle Sound h:id po.s.sibilities of
becoming a sport that would at
tract many striped bass fisher
