Work on the dam to improve the towns water system is progressing rapidly, the City Council was in formed at it's last meeting by the water committee consisting of George Smith, chairman; H. R. Coulter and Yern Smith. The spill way is being enlarged to 50 feet, thus eliminating trouble with clogging by backup of debris as has been experienced in the past
 Seaplane float facilities were discussed and correspondence from Director of Aeronautics Tony Schwamm advised the Council that plans would be forthcoming short ly to the Council for it's consider ation Work probably will be und- erway in another 30 days or such a matter.
 Wrangells school teachers, like everybody else are feeling the bangs of that old formula HCL, high cost of living They proposed to the Council that they be grant ed an increase in salary of S20O per year. Council scratched its collective head but took no action.
 Logs for improving the floats at the shrimp cannery and making an approach to the float at the head Of the bay near the Fred Lewis property have been brought into town from VRnk's Island by Capt. E. M. Campbell of the Alasco 4. and the Council was advised that work on them will soon be getting under way.
 To lend the proper touch to the newly lowered ceilings in the City Hall, the Council authorized the purchase of Venetian blinds.

CATFISH CORNER GIRL
MAY PUBLISH A SONG
Chicago Song Firm Gives High
Praise to Composition of
Gifted Local Girl
By MISS PINKIE PERRY

ny MlOO I1INhAG GASANA
Fame may come to a Catfish
Cornor girl because of a song she
has written and which has arous-
ed the interest of Chicago pub
Usher. Miss Consolena Carter, a
gifted young woman of this COM
munity has written a song, "You
are my Heartache."
Because a number of friends
urged her to do so, she answered
an advertisement of a Chicago
publisher Douglas Karkus & Co.
who wish to publish her song. No
thing would please Catfish Cor
ner people more than to see the
song on Broadway, as the pub
Usher hints might happen if he
publishes it.
If Miss Carter will only send
$500 they will publish the song
and send her 100 copies of it for
her friends, they say. And they
will give unremittingly of their
time to get it sung on Broadway,
they say.
Naturally Miss Carter, who
finished High school last year is
all a-thrill. Her friends think may
be she will wind up in the movies,
because of her talent, and that
Catfish Corner, which is mention
ed in the song will become fam
Gus,
Unfortunately Miss Carter is
not able to raise 500 to have the
song published, but Tuboleen Tue
ker of the Catfish Corner Cart
wheel Club says he is going to try
to get the club to sponsor the pub
LEGATION of the song, and she has
given him the song and her let
tiers from the publisher, which ne
will discuss before the club Mon
day night at their regular meet
ing.
Meanwhile Miss Carter is the
center of attention in Catfish Cor
ner, and boys from Wide Spot,
Frog Fork, Square Hill Creek,
Bay Level, Gar Creek and Vine
gar Hill have been trying to date
her since the news got out. The
only person who has spoken I'M
favorably about her is Pestle May
Peele, who is mad because Tubo-
leen Tucker is trying to help her.

CHECK MACHINERY,
FARM AGENT URGES

With spring planting season
just beginning, Hyde and Beaufort
County farmers were reminded to-
day that the most important step
in the safe operation of machinery
is to put it in good condition be-
fore field work starts.
Farm agents point out that
more than $4,000 tractors with
plows, cultivators, discs, and
planters will soon be working in
fields throughout North Carolina.
With labor high-priced and in
short supply, farmers will have
to depend more and more on me-
chanical equipment to help them
produce their crops. 1t is import
ant, therefore, that this equipment
be kept in good condition to insure
maximum production.
Another reason for taking care

FLOATING IN CATTLE
DISCUSSED BY EXPERT

To help prevent blaot in cattle,
DR.. c. D. Grinnells Of State Col
lege offers several suggestions:
a. Feed hay or silage before
placing anipals on legume pas
lures. Dry roughage initiates the
stomach walls and causes belch-
ing, which is the natural way Of
expelling excess gases.
(2) Craze the animals on grass
pastures for a few hours before
placing them on rich legume pas
ture.
(3) Cottonseed hulls treated
with molasses are recommended.
Molasses increases the palatabil-
ity and increases consumption to
the point where the hulls are help
full.
az Mixing grasses with le-
gumes in pasture so they make up
about half of the mixture is con-
sidered desirable.
90 Allow alfalfa to become
more mature before grazing.
(6) When animals are changed
to new grazing areas, they should
be watched very closely for the
first few days.
CD Avoid turning hungry cat
tie on legumes in the pre-bloom
stage. Feed other feeds to take
the edge off their appetites and
keep them well-filled.

the inlet work long since approved
by the us. Board of Army En-
gineers. In time of war, Oregon
Inlet would provide an outlet to
the ocean for many types Of fight
ing craft from protected bases in
shore and at the same time the
deepened inlet would provide an
entrance to the protected waters
of Pamlico Sound.
World War II proved the value
of Naval Section Bases along the
Atlantic frontier. Three such
bases were established along the
North Carolina coast at Ocracoke,
Morehead City and Southport. If
there had been navigable waters
in Oregon Inlet, Section Base
no doubt would have been estab-
lished in the vicinity of Oregon In
let-either on Bodie Island, south
of Mays Head, or here in Wan
cheese.
There is far more pleasant fu-
ture to the commercial and sports
fishing industry than there is to
any war-but there is not much of
future for the once great fishing
industry Of the Dare coast unless
shoally Oregon Inlet is dredged to
a depth sufficient to allow deep
sea trawlers and menhaden craft
to pass through safely.
Menhaden Industry Here
Why is the menhaden industry
brought into the picture? There
had never been such an industry in
the fishing history of Dare Coun-
ty. The menhaden industry could
become established on the Dare
coast. Already number of per-
sons interested in this Number 1
fish product of America have been
casting a look towards Roanoke
Island. At the present time it is
not practical for menhaden YES
sells to operate off the Outer
Banks of Dare between Cape Hat
teras and Cape Henry. That is be-
cause the waters are too far from
processing plants located well up
the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia
or at Morehead City and Beaufort
to the southwark. With a deep
Oregon Inlet, even if only IL feet
as proposed, there would be pro-
cessing plants established in this
area, and Wanchese here on the
southern tip of Roanoke Island is
the logical place for such plant
or plants.
At the present time there is
quite a large feet of mackerel and
croaker fishermen from other
ports basing Incorporating off
shore. But the boats are shallow
draft-the only type that can SAT-
ely navigate Oregon Inlet.

|WANCHESE COULD
GAIN BY OREGON
INLET PROJECT
By AYcoCK BROWN

The fishing community of Wan
cheese which spreads out over the
southern end of Roanoke Island
should have bright future. That
is because it is the nearest port,
so to speak, to Oregon Inlet.
There seems to be a very favor
able chance that Oregon Inlet will
soon be deepened--and when the
channel from sound to sea is of
sufficient depth to permit the lar
ger deep sea trawlers and the
menhaden vessels to navigate
from the ocean to Pamlico Sound,
the fishing business of Roanoke
Island, which is not much to talk
about now, will show a tremen-
dous increase.
There is a defense angle being
injected into the proposal to get
the government to go ahead with

of machinery, suggested the farm
agent, is their replacement parts
may become difficult to obtain as
increasing amounts of metal are
diverted to the defense area. The
wise farmer, he added, will at
tempt to make present equipment
last as long as possible.
Defective bitches, seats, clutch
es, wheels, brakes, steering mech
anism, and unguarded revolving
parts are things to check. The
National Safety Council has re-
ported many fatal accide n S
caused by failure of makeshift
seats and unguarded power take
off shafts on tractors. ALI dirt,
trash, and grease should be re-
moved from platforms, pedals,
foot rests, and steps to assure
safe footing.
Special care should be taken in
checking homemade labor-saving
equipment for accident hazards.
Accidents can easily Offset all the
other advantages derived from
such equipment.
Timely servicing will reduce ac-
cidents as well as costly field
breakdowns and make farm work
more pleasant. Poorly conditioned
farm machinery is irritating and
fatiguing to the operator. Field
accidents often result when he at
tempts to improve faulty opera
tons which should have been cor
rected before the machine was
taken to the field.
