FOWL COMING TO
DUCK COMMUNITY
IN DARE COUNTY
Interesting Community en-
North Banks" Famed as
Hunting Place for Duck
By AYCOCK BROWN


fowl have come to the vicinity OF
Duck, on Currituck Sound which
borders the shore a few miles north
of us. Highway 1853 and the
Wright Memorial Bridge, now the
main gateway" to the Dare Coast
land for persons coming from the
north. Duck, in the old days, was
called "North Banks"
Residents of Duck are already
preparing for the hunting season,
while they are not out on the beach
hauling their nets or fishing COM
mercially or for sport in Currituck
Sound. Duck, until about ten years
ago, had a postoffice, named for
the birds which used to be extrem-
ely plentiful in the area.
A couple of miles north of the
village is the Nays bombing
range which has resulted in a small
detachment of Naval personnel be-
ing stationed in the area for sever
al years. Their duties consist of
keeping the targets up and acting
ground information forces on
the range for the Navy pilots.
This week there were additional
Naval personnel in the area. They
were from Fifth Naval Districts
recreation department and their
jobs here were to build duck blinds
along the shore and in the shallow
waters of the Sound. This means
that Naval personnel can come
hunting this winter and shoot from
their own blinds.
Somewhere in this general area
is an Indian burial ground but The
residents of the village seem to
have other interests. None knew
it's exact location.
Several months ago Walter Car
roll, Durham newsman, who makes
frequent vacation trips to Mays
Head gave me information about
the Indian burial ground. He had
done some archaeological work as
a hobby in the vicinity and found
a number of Indian relics such as
arrowheads, pieces of pottery and
other items.
Duck is at the northern limits
of the Duck-Kitty Hawk Woods
Over on the nearby beach is the
old Paul CAMEL Hill life saving
station, now decommissioned and
privately owned by a resident Of
Washington, D. C.. In the old days
the crews of Paul Gamiels Hill anG
Caffeys Inlet Coast Guard station
five or six miles northward along
the beach played many role ii
the rescue of seamen aboard ships
wrecked along the coast. 1t has
been a long time since any wreck
occurred in the area of the beach
abreast of Duck, but Caffeys Inlet
is still manned by an alert crew
which will be ready for rescue &C.
tivity, when and if there is 8
wreck.
| Old Caffeys Inlet is no longer ar
inlet-but just a name. The loca.
ton of the inlet is now dune
studded beachlands. 1t was CaffeyS

insist that originally was the
''Trinity Harbor" of the Sir Wal
ter Raleigh Expeditions which first
visited the New World that was tc

There are two reasons for this.
The first is that Mcfarland was

that there are only around 5000
Negro votes in Arizona-too few
to be politically important.

Pay Bills
Injury, Illness
Benefits Sought

COLUMBUS, Feb. 1.-Two
bills, similar to legislation in
force in four other states
providing temporary dis
ability payments equalling
unemployment benefits, were
introduced in both houses of
the Legislature yesterday.
Payments to a person temper
arily unemployed because of ill
e or an off-the-job injury the
same as if he had lost his job are
provided in the measures.
The Senate bill was introduced
by Sen. Mark McElroy (D-Cuya-
hoga) chairman of a commission
created by the last Legislature to
study the problem of disability
unemployment. Reps. Michael J.
Dumas (D-Lucas), James r. Joyce
(D.-Jefferson) and Howard L.
Williams (R. Trumbull) introduc-
ed an identical bill in the House.
The bills also provide disability
pay for working women for six
weeks before and after the birth
of a child. The pay would be the
same as the present $25 and 26
weeks under the unemployment
compensation law.
The measure would create a new
division of the Bureau of I'm

minister the new benefits.

Legislature followed up the dist

Denounces Fund
To Send Negroes
Out OF Delaware

WILMINGTON, Del. (ANP)-
The newly established st. Barna-

Negro girls out of the state to
study nursing, was severly critiz-
ed here last week by the Delaware
Fellowship commission.
The commission denounced the
idea of sending Negro girls out
of the state to study nursing as a
compromise with segregation with

fund should work to have Negroes
admitted to nursing schools in

point of view that this is peak load. 1t is

We are truly faced with new way of liv-

we have to do is to refuse to be pushed about
by continuous new crises. We have to dig in
for national effort over the long pull. So
far as this relates to the fiscal problems of the
government and the personal financial prob

limit to defense expenditures. This top limit
must be high. 1t must involve austerity on
the part of the people of the country. But
it must not be so high as to produce economic
chaos, political dissolution and social conflict.
This high budget limit can produce an even

long run, true victory will be won only by
spiritual forces.
Americans do not like to remember that we
have had two smashing World War victories
in space of 80 years i but no resulting peace.
When we do remember this we have another
cause for fear.
This is the fear that World War iii,
which seems approaching after a shorter
interval than that between Wars and
III, can end only in a military victory
whose cost will be far beyond that of any
previous wars. Its resulting economic, social
and political disorganization will verge on
chaos. The sword is strong to win battles;
it is helpless to win peace. For that we must
trust to more powerful forces.
HERE is moral law in the universe as
there is physical law. That moral law has
never been broken. 1t cannot be broken. We
can break ourselves against it, but the law
