BABY WHALE BEACHED
NEAR CAPE HATTERAS LIGHT

A baby whale washed ashore on
the beach just north of Cape Hat
teras Lighthouse. 1t was the first
to, come ashore this winter and
residents of the area were just as
happy as they could be that it
was a baby instead of an adult of
the species. Adult whales, some
times up to rs feet long, have
washed ashore at various places
along the North Carolina coast
and such incidents present a prob
lem for sanitation officials, whose
duties it is to get rid of the car
cass if it is near a village or city.
1t is not considered unusual for
whales to come ashore during the
winter months when great schools
of menhaden move close inshore.
Menhaden a species of fish taken
for it's oil and scrap content, pro-
vide food for certain species of
whales.
The small one came ashore in
the vicinity of George Fuller's
Cape Hatteras Cottage Court, now
nearing completion, was discovered
by Werner Quasebarth, a coast
guardsman stationed at the local
C. G. Loran Station. No effort
was made to salvage any part of
the small sea mammal, although
in the old days when whales came
ashore many residents of the
coast made a business of frying
the blubber for valuable oils. The
sea gulls were doing away with
the carcass at last reports.

DARE FEB. TEMPERATURES
COMPARE VERY FAVORABLY

Cool, but no cold weather, &C.
cording to Holiday Magazines
yardstick of listing temperatures
during February, is scheduled to
prevail along the coast of Dare
County. At Hatteras, for instance,
the average February tempera-
lures last year were considerably
higher than Santa Fe, London,
Paris, Washington, New York and
Denver, but from three to four
degrees cooler Con an average)
than such vacation spots as Las
Vegas, Rome, Carlsbad Caverns,
Charleston, Jerusalem, Lisbon and
San Antonio.
According to statistics furnished
by the local station of the u. S.
Weather Bureau, one of the most
important, in North America, the
average February temperatures
last year was a mean of AZ degrees.
The highest temperature of Febru-
airy 1851 was SO degrees while the
lowest and one of the few times
that the mercury sank below
freezing during the entire winter,
was % degrees.
The moderate winter tempera-
lures of the Hatteras region is
credited to the nearness of the
Gulf Stream, where the warm blue
water is only 10 miles offshore
from the Point of Cape Hatteras,
AS a result, Hatteras, Cape Hat
teras and Dare County foliage in
general is mostly evergreen and
semi-tropical.

URGING MUSEUM
FOR AVIATION AT
KILL DEVIL HILLS

Establishment of an aviation
museum at Kill Devil Hills seem.
ed one step nearer realization this
week with the announcement by
the Kill Devil Hills Memorial So
ciety of the formation of a special
Wright Memorial Museum Com
mittee.
The Museum Committee, work
ing under the general auspices Of
the reorganized Memorial Society
will be headed by David Stick OF
Kill Devil Hills, and will include
six other members prominent in
aviation and historical research
fields. Announcement of the names
of the other committee members
will be made as soon as formal ac-
ceptances are received.
The new chairman announced
that meeting of the committee
will be held, probably in Wash
ington, D. c., early next month
at which time preliminary ar
rangements will be made for the
preparation of plans for the mu-
scum building or buildings, for the
acquiring of special exhibits, and
for a drive for funds to finance
the project.
1t was emphasized that the
drive for funds will be directed
especially at "those groups which
have benefited most from the re-
suits of the Wright brothers ex.
periments at Kitty Hawk and Kill
Devil Hills"
"The necessity for some sort OF
a museum at the scene of the first
flight has been obvious since the
Wright Memorial was first opened
to the public" the chairman said
'for the average person visiting
Kill Devil Hill has little opportuni-
ty to learn anything about the
Wright brothers, or their expert
ments, or even what the first plane
looked like"
Preliminary plans call for the
inclusion, in the museum, of scale
models and replicas of the famous
1908 Wright plane, of all of the
gliders with which they expert
mented on the Dare coast from
1900 to 1908, and of their famous
camp and first hanger. Numerous
other models, photographs, draw
ings and relics will no doubt be
included among the exhibits.
No estimate of cost of the mu-
scum project can be given at this
time, but as soon as actual plans
are prepared this additional in
formation will be made public.
The National Park Service
which operates the Wright Broth.
ers' Memorial atop Kill Devil Hill
has expressed keen interest in the
project, as have officials of the
National Air Museum, where the
original 1903 plane is now housed
With the cooperation of these
agencies it is hoped that the mu-
scum will be established and open
ed to the public within the next
two years, the 5Oth anniversary
of the first flight December IT
1853.

JOB PROTECTION
is NOW BROADER
FOR SERVICEMEN

The recently passed Universal
Military Training and Service Act
broadens job protection for men
in service, men eligible for serv-
ice, and men getting out of mill
tary service. These changes are of
vital importance, also, to employ
ers and to labor organizations.
To prevent inadvertent viola
tions of the law and to conserve
manpower for defense employment,
the Bureau of Veterans Reem-
ployment Rights of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor is anxious to
reach as many interested persons
as possible to acquaint them with
job reinstatement rights. In this
locality the Volunteer Reemploy-
ment Rights Committeeman is j..
M. Vannote, whose address is Fort
Raleigh Hotel, Manteo. Veterans,
ex-servicemen, or others who
need assistance in connection with
these laws may contact Mr.. Van
note who has available the facili-
ties of the Office of the Bureau
of Veterans Unemployment Rights
in Atlanta, Georgia, if the assis-
lance of this Bureau is needed.
Several important changes have
been made by Congress-" Mr.. Van
note said, "in unemployment pro-
visions of the 1913 Act. (D The
restriction for limiting service
man to single enlistment subse-
quent to June "a, 1913, in order
to exercise unemployment rights,
has been removed from the law.
~ Increase the permitted serv-
ice from 8 to a years. 81 Extend
statutory leaves of absences to re-
jectees and to reservists perform
ing short tours of duty for train
ing purposes only"
Mr.. Vannote said that, general
ly persons now covered by reem-
ployment rights are persons who
either enlist or are drafted into the
armed forces, members of the re-
serves of any branch, or the Ma
tional Guard who enter on active
duty with the armed forces of the
United States"
Mr.. Vannote said that, "while
it is not legally required, it is
business-like for an employee to
notify his employer in writing
that he plans to enter the armed
forces, then there will be no mis-
understanding"
If a man plans to make career
of the armed forces, it is a good
idea to tell his employer that so
that he can secure permanent
replacement.
Mr.. Vannote said that, " a for
mer serviceman applying for his
old job back must do so within 80
days after he is relieved from mill
tary training or from hospitaliza-
ton continuing after his discharge
for not more than a year. Reject
ees and reservists coming off short
tours of training duty must seek
their jobs back in 80 days."
He pointed out that since some
misunderstanding Invariably
arise, each case must be considered
individually. If some misunder-
standing does come up he urged
veterans to contact his office and
if necessary, the ex-serviceman
will be put in touch with the prop
er person to handle his case.
