OREGON INLET FERRY
SERVICE INADEQUATE
FOR TOURIST TRAFFIC
Rodanthe. North Carolina has
built America's "first Teal, ocean
highway,, between Nags Head and
Hatteras and the pavement is such
that traffic can pass over the
route without experiencing diffi
culty. "But so far the State has not
improved the ferry service, even
though additional schedules have
been added and effors are being
made by the ferry operators to
move ail autos carrying tourists
and Hatteras Island residents over
the water link of the highway."
said Capt. Levine Midgett who
was one of the original proponents
for paving the trackless-roadless
trails on this island.
"On Sunday," said Captain Mid
gett, "there was so much traffic
and so many automobiles in line
waiting for ferries that many per
sons were delayed several hours
in returning to the mainland, or
the upper banks of Nags Head.-
"We had more off island auto
mobiles on Hatteras last Sunday
than ever before, and the summer
season is just beginning. As time
goes along there will be an in
crease in the number of persons
trying to make the trip down
here." he stated. "Our greatest
number of summer visitors will
be here during late July and
through Augues."
Captain Midgett is of the opin
ion that as the State built the
present highway that has opened
the once isolated island and its
seven communities to tourists, the
officials should have anticipated
the travel to this area and ereated
an Oregon Inlet ferry system that
will serve the public.
"North Carolina's advertising di
vision has done a good job in tel
ling the world about Hatteras Is
land, and it seems that just about
every tourist in the country wants
to come down here. Now that we
have a paved road, the problem
of ferrage across the Inlet has
become what some term as a criti-

WILKINSON ADDRESSES
DARE CO. REPUBLICANS
Washington Attorney Extolls Par
ty Virtues and Belabors New
Deal and Fair Deal
The evils of today in our na
tional life were laid 'in vigorous
words at the doors of the New
Deal and Fair Deal administra
tions of Roosevelt and Truman,
by John A. Wilkinson, prominent
Washington, N. C. attorney and
party leader in a Republican rally
in the courthouse in Manteo Wed
nesday night.
The meeting, arranged by Coun
ty Chairman V. G. Williams
brought only 25 people to hear
him. Represented at the meeting
were East Lake with one or two,
Avon with several and Wanchese
with several people present. East
Lake and Avon were former
strongholds of the party.
Wilkinson scored the Republi
cans who had deserted their party
to take jobs under the New Deal,
all the way down from U. S. Mar
shall to foreman of WPA gangs.
He said the only way to sanity in
Government now is to turn down
Truman and his party.
The amazing thing about the
rally was not the few people who
were present, for the Republican
party died in Dare County during
the New Deal and WPA days. It
was the remarkable versatility and
energy of the speaker, Wilkinson,
Never in many a day has an aud-
ience in Dare County heard a po
litical speech so vigorous, so con
vincingly prepared and so ably
presented. The group marvelled at
the ability of the man to talk for
an hour without loss for words,
without groping for a fact, with
out incorrectly stating a name. As
the speaker said: "My friends tell
me I have thrown away my career
hy not being a democrat; but I
am fighting for a principle.
A visitor at the meeting was
Sheriff B. Ray Cahoon of Colum
bia, one of the Republican stal
warts of the district.

To The Editor:
Thanks to my next door neigh
bor at home, Mrs. H. L, Dilday,
I have been receiving copies of
your paper. Each time they come
I've thought to write to you. Now
I am finally getting to it.
You have no idea how much
it means to be able to read what
is going on at home. There are
many items of interest irj your
paper that friends don't think to
include in letters. In fact I'd like
to say that altho I've never taken
the paper regularly it has im
proved considerably in the last
few years. And it give, me great
pleasure to see the progress made
by it as well as the town I think
of as home. Sometimes it makes
me terrible homesick to know
what is going on and not be able
to do my bit; but we always
hope to get back again and help
where we can.
We've been here six months
now and altho it c in never be
the same as home, life is inter
esting ana the mends we ve
made have been very kind.
As for sight-seeing we've seen
most of the places of interest in
and around London now and
I hope thru the summer months
to spread out into the neighbor
ing countries.
We are most fortunate in get
ting a 2-week's vacation in Ire

go to Liverpool and take a boat

CAR DEALER IN
BELHAVEN LEAPS
THROUGH WINDOW
Close Hauled by Officers in
Car Theft Case, Buster
Paul Departs
A good rule for an officer to
follow with any prisoner is to fol
low him, even to the John. Deputy
Sheriff Claude Selby of Hath
found this out Monday ivght, when
lie allowed Buster Paul, used ear
dealer and body mechanic to go to
the toilet. Paul escapl through
a bed-room window, and got away.
Paul was being questioned by
officers with respect to st cut up
late-model automobile that had
been discovered in the woods some
eight miles from Belhaven. While
Patrolman John Thomas and Dep
uty Floyd Lupton ware on the
phone at City Hall in Belhaven,
seeking more clues, Selby was k'ft
to guard Paul, who wanted to go
home to cat. After he ate, he had
to go to the toilet. In the toilet,
he called his wife to bring paper.
The wife after staying a few min
utes with him came through the
bedroom and slammed the door be
hind her. Buster Paul bolted
through the bedroom window and
got away.
The investigation followed dis
covery of a cut up automobile in
the woods near Paul's father's
home. Suspicion led officers to
Paul's shop in West Belhaven.
where they found a motor sup
posedly from the car. The car, it
developed had been stolen from a
used car lot in Norfolk, and was
registered in the name of H. D
Hall of Bayside. Paul admitted
knowledge of the car, said it had
ocen Drougnt to him by a car
dealer from Norfolk who called
himself Sawyer. He said he cut
up the car.
Officers are still looking for
Paul.
THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF
AMBERJACK ARE REELED IN
Thousands of pounds of Am
ber jack,, a Gulf . Stream variety
of game fish which attract many
anglers to the Dare Coast from
Nags Head and Wanchese south
ward to Hatteras Village each
summer, have been caught dur
ing the past few days.
It has not been considered
anything out of the ordinary for
half dozen anglers aboard a
charter boat catching up to 50
jack averaging 20 or more
pounds per fish.
On Sunday alone an estimated
5,000 pounds of these sports fish
were caught. In the old days
nglers, or many of them, did
not bother to take amberjack
home. That was before they dis
covered that an amberjack steak
costs them considerably less than
prime western beef, and if you
like seafood you'll enjoy the flesh
of amberjack.
R. E. Rollason. W. S. Perry. G.
W. Privott, R. M. Young and Bill
Phelps of Norfolk fishing with
Capt. Willie Etheridge, Jr., of
Wanchese on Sunday brought in
51 'jack. On the same day an
other Norfolk party out in the
blue water aboard Capt. Omie
Tillett's Jerry Jr., landed 42 fish.
This was Charles T. Fleear and
party of six from Norfolk.
On Monday Roy N. Bentley,
Thomas J. Johnston, Cooper
Johnston and Robert C. Folden
of Due West, Va., and H. C. Kyn
och of Roxboro, fishing the Gulf
Stream near Diamond Shoals
with Captain Tillett from aboard
the Jerry Jr., landed 38 amber
jack. and several weighed more
than 25 pounds each.
Amberjack are usually taken
in the vicinity of sunken ships
or near buoys. They are surface
feeders and will take a trolled
lure, but usually the lure is tow
ed beneath the surface. Once the
'jack strikes, he will start sound
ing for the botom and to bring
one to gaff is no easy job.
Feathers and spoons are used
to lure the fish.

The Senate Appropriations com
mittee this week voted $100,000
for the deepening of Far Creek
into Engelhard to make it con
form with the inland waterway,
from Pamlico Sound, and if tho
House and Senate concur in this
effort, there will be a 12-foot chan
nel made available to shipping in
terests of this Hyde County town.
The measure was approved
largely because it was represented
it is essential to the farming in
terests of Hyde and Tyrrell Coun
ties, and such improvement will no
doubt play a large part in the de
velopment of Engelhard as a jjrain
center, where already large term
inal facilitiese have been built.
At the time the $100,000 waa
voted into the bill, the Senate Com
mittee restored $840,000 to tha
Kerr Dam at Buggs Island where
the Government is developing elec
trical generating facilities under
the guise of flood control.
On behalf of the Engelhard
project. Senator Willis Smith put
into the record letters from the
N. C. Farm Bureau Federation and
its Hyde County unit. These and
other letters pleaded that the
farmers of Hyde and Tyrrell
County depend solely on truck and
barge transportation since they ,
have no railroad. It was set forth
that a number of industries in the
area would be helped by deepening
Far Creek by two or three feet.
Industries at the present tima
include several saw' mills, grain
terminals, plants for handling fish,
oysters, fertilizers, ets.
The favorable action this week-,
is a' considerable "step in the pro
gress of this project. Of course it
must pass both the House and
Senate.
