SOME PROGRESS
MADE IN INLET
WORK AT BUXTON
Engineer Corps Still Awaits
' Approval from OEP;
Expected Soon
While it appears to specta
tors tliat little or no progress is
being made in the closing of
Buxton Inlet, word from the
District Office of the Corps of
Engineers in Wilmington indi
cates that operations will be in
creased soon. The Engineers arc
still awaiting final papers from
the Office of Emergency Plan-
, ning for this area, which is
' headfiuartered in Thomasville,
Ga.
In the meantime, the Corjis i
has completed its siir\’cy work, J
aiul has been assured that a
second dredtre can be placed on
the south side of the inlet at
an early date, upon arrival of
the OEP commitment. i
The IG-inch dredge which is
now on the site is working on
the north shore, filling in low
spots, and this has many people
concerned, for they feel that
best effect could be attained by
pumping the spoil in the sound-
side of the inlet. Chief Engi
neer Donald A. Gardner of Wil
mington said: “There is a very-
valid reason for doing so. We
, feel that it is more practical
' for pumping at this time to bo
conconlralcd on the north shore,
rather than the inlet itself, un
til we can get the second
dredge started on south-side."
“When the additional dredge
i.s positioned, we intend to be
gin closing rapidly from both
sides,’’ he e.xplained, “The inlet
has a natural tendency to move
soutlnvanl, anil we do not want
to run the risk of enlarging it,”
he added.
In the original contract let
to Atkin.son Dredging Co. of
Groat Bridge, Va., 225,000 cubic
yards of fill wore called for.
Estimates of total fill needed at
this time range upwards of 700,-
^ 000 yards.

Death came Saturday night
for Norwood Rollinson. The 9-
year-old Frisco youth passed
away in Albemarle Hosuital
following severe phyical dam
ages resulting from exposure.
Young Rollinson and a com
panion, Ronald Williams, 14,
also of Frisco, ventured off Fri
day afternoon at 1:30 p.m. on a
trip to Buxton via the old woods
trails on their new bicycles, re
ceived for Christmas. The boys
became tired and apparently
confused as to their location,
and with darkness coming on,
built a fire to keep warm.
They were lightly dressed and
with temperature dipping down
into the forties Friday night, it
was not an easy matter to keep
warm, even with a fire. As the
night wore on, the boys went to
sleep. Rollinson apparently roll
ed away from the fire during the
night, and when Williams awoke
Saturday morning, he found his
companion unconscious, at which
time he administered mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation It was some
time later that Coast Guard
rescuers arrived, and Rollinson
was removed by helicopter for
immediate travel to Elizabeth
City. The helicopter ran low on
fuel, landed at Mantco where ho
was treated by Dr. W. W. Har
vey, Jr. and sent by ambulance
to Eizabeth City. Death came at
11 p.m. Saturday night.
A search party had begun
Friday night, participated in by
upwards of 100 people from the
neighborhoods, but brought no
results until Saturday moming,
when a CG helicopter spotted
the boys.
Williams was given first aid

FINAL APPROVAL
FOR BLUE MARLIN
WORLD’S RECORD
Whopping Cafeh Off Hatteras
In June of 1962 Gets
IGFA Approval
HATTERAS. —The date was
June 11, 1962, the place was
near the edge of the Gulf
Stream off Hatteras, and the
battle between man and blue
marlin lasted 25 minutes. The
result, the largest blue marlin
ever caught with rod and reel
by anyone, was 'boated aboard
the cruiser Albatross II by
Gary Stukes, a Morristown, N.
J. angler who had been coming
here for the big game fishing
for several seasons — always
hoping to hook one of the giant
billfish, but failing each year
until 1962.
Stukes was skipping bait
from the Albatros.s II with Capt.
Bill Foster as his skipper using
a Hawaiian bait that a friend
of Foster’s in Richmond had
given him, when the big fish
hit. The Hawaiian lure, a com
bination of plastic and a fea
ther, had resembled a choice
morsel of big marlin, when the
giant fish hit. In 25 minutes
the largest blue marlin ever
taken anywhere by an angler
was aboard the Albatross II.
The marlin brought to the
docks in Hatteras was officially
weighed, measured, and the rec
ords were wired out to the pis
catorial world. The marlin was
14 feet from tip to tip, 68 inches
around its girth and it scaled
at 810 pounds.
The largest blue marlin ever
taken before was a specimen
weighing 780 pounds, 13 feet and
10 inches long and 66 inches
around its girth that had been
boated off Puerto Rico on July
1, 1969 by Eric Widdowson.
Thus Stukea’ Hah became an
un-official new world’s record.
During the past week end by
the International Game Fish
Association in Miami, Fla., the
organization which has become
the last word on record fishes,
the Hatteras 810-pounder be
came officially the world's rec
ord for the species.

The movement for a central
water system for Nags Head
which will be brought to a head
on January 12, got a further
boost of support from members
of the town’s Planning and Zon
ing Commission, in a memo this
week from its chairman, W. A.
Williams.
Mr. Wiliams .said: “The Nags
Head Planning and Zoning Com
mission heartily endorses the
proposal for a public water .sup
ply system for the Town of
Nags Head. The Commission re
alizes the importance and ab
solute necessity for this utility
and future planning by the com
mission will depend upon the
outcome of the referendum on
January 12. Without this water
supply system not only the
growth of the area but it’s very
existence is doubtful. . .it is
therefore most important that
each registered citizen of Nag.s
Head vote in this bond election.

the bond issue but strongly urg

The new year began with a

blast of Arctic air. Temperaure
readings for the last several
mornings have been in the low

Continued cold weather has
caused much ice to form in the

anticipated to bridges.

At a meeting of the Sea.shore
Park Commission in Raleigh
Wednesday, tentative approval
was given pi'oposals that would
:dd 'n containing and develop
ing the Outer Banks. The pro
grams agreed upon would cost
in the noighljorhood of two and
a half million dollars in State
funds, which may be supple
mented by Federal and local
eommitments. The 19G3 General
A.'-senibly may look forward to
such legislation.
The pi'oposals would involve
the State in a major land 'ac
quisition project on undeveloped
stretches of the Outer Banks,
and in construction of big arti
ficial dunes.
Fred Cox of Grifton, chairman
of the committee, said the rec
ommendations “will ho subject
to expan.sion or modification”
after a public hearing in Now
Bern on Jan. 19.
Tile recommendations came
after the committee hoard State
Civil Defense figures which
showed that hurricane and
storm dam:igo along the Outer
Banks had amounted to over
$386 million since 1954.
The committee voted to ask
the Assembly for $1.5 million in ;
1903-05 for a State land pur
chase program along undevelop
ed areas of the Outer Banks.
It also endorsed a request by
WILLIAM I. LONG
TO BE DIRECTOR
OF LOST COLONY
Former Technical Director's Du
ties Increased; Miss Welch
To Be Assistant
the State Board of Water Re
sources for $l million in State!
matching funds for federally j
and locally-supported beach dune '
construrtion at Wrightsvilie
Boaoh and Carol.na Beach. i
Another proposal called for a,
State appropriation of $50,000 in
1903-65 to support grass-plant
ing projects as a means of
building up water-flattened
banks.
Expected to bo a major point
of controversy at the public
hearing is the e.xtcnt to which
local govermnenlal units should
be required to paiticipate in ero
sion conii'ol nu'.isui'i's along the
coast.
The Board of Water Resourc
es, in asking for $1 million in
State funds, expects to sponsor
legislation requiring local units
to put up 50 per cent of the
non-federal share of such dune-
construction projects, with the
State paying the other 50 per
cent.
In most such projects, the
federal share amounts to about
70 per cent of the initial con
struction cost. Local or State
sources would have to provide
about 90 per cent of the annual
■nourishment” cost of the dunes,
a cost that averages five per!
cent per year of the initial cost. |
However, coastal governmen
tal officials have asked that lo
cal units oe required to put up
one-tliird of the non-federal
share.
The coniniittco did resolve
that local participating should
be a requirement in all such
projects. Local units should
have a veto over any project
and could have by withholding
local participation said Woodrow
Price, Raleigh newspaperman,
and chairman of the commis
sion.
Price suggested the land ac
quisition program to acquire a
strip of beach from the high
water line far enough back to
bo used as the site for artificial
construction.
“This would not be for the al-
ready-ticvcloiied areas—tlie cost
would be prohibitive,” he said.
Most of the undeveloped 'beach
area is along the Currituck
County shore, on Suackleford
Banks off Beaufort and Jlore-
head City, and on other smaller
banks southwest of Morehoad.
The State has acquired unde
veloped Portsmouth Island and
most of Core Banks with a
$300,000 appropriation from the
1959 Legislature.
The committee was told by
Water Resources Department
Director Harry Brown that ar
tificial dune construction is now
considered the “only practical
way” to halt weather destruc
tion of the Outer Bank;;.
“But it is expensive, mighty
expensive,” he pointed out.
He estimated that a Corps of
Engineers study of plans for ar
tificial dune con.stiuction along
the State-owned banks from
Ocracoke to Capo Lookout would
call for State expenditure of at
