WILKINSON ADDRESSES
DARE co. REPUBLICANS
Washington Attorney ExtOIIs Par
ty Virtues and BelabOrs New
Deal and Fair Deal

The evils of today in our ma
tional life were laid in vigorous
words at the doors of the New
Deal and Fair Deal administra-
lions 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 We'd
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 Republic
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. 1t
was the remarkable versatility and
energy of the speaker, Wilkinson.
Never in many day has an aud
fence in Dare County heard 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 cropping for a fact, with
out incorrectly stating name. AS
the speaker said: "My friends tell
me l have thrown away my career
by not being democrat; but l
am fighting for a principle.
A visitor at the meeting was
Sheriff B. Ray Cahoon of Column
bia, one of the Republican stall
warts of the district.

the Manns Harbor Methodist
Church. Surviving are two sons,
Clarence L. and Ray L. Midget,
both of Manns Harbor; one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Tressie Gard of Manns
Harbor; two sisters, Mrs. Sallie

Waves.-A 53A pound channel
bass landed in the surf at Waves
on May 81 by Amelia Balance of
Buxton, is scheduled to become the
world record fish for its species
to ever be landed by a woman
angler on 25 pound test line, it
is reported here.
A 751s pound channel bass land
ed by Lieutenant B. r. Balance
her father, in 1889 was an all
tackle world record for more than
10 years. He landed his fish at the
Point of Cape Hatteras.
The International Game Fish AS
ISOLATION is the authority for the
new record. When officials of the
association learned that Miss Bal
lance, currently a nurse in De-
Pauls Hospital at Norfolk but a
former Coast Guard Spar had land
ed the big fish on 25-pound test
line they contacted her for all de-
tails in order that the record bay
be authenticated.
Miss Balance was surfcasting in
a slough close by the rustied hulk
of World War II LIST that had
wrecked in the breakers here sew
eral years ago when she landed
her big fish. 1t measured 53A
sinches from tip to tip and its girth
was 30A inches around, according
to Lieutenant Balance. She was
using glass casting rod and her
hook was baited with mullet when
she made the catch.
This is the second world record
fish to be landed by a woman in
Dare waters this season. Two
weeks ago, Mrs. Mary Black of
Chillicothe, Ohio, landed a 81
pound cobia while trolling at the
western edge of the Gulf Stream
southeast of Oregon Inlet. This
was an all-tackle record for wo-
men, the previous record being an
80R FOUNDER.
Both of the record fishes of Dare
fol this season are now being au-
thenticated by Miss Francesca La
Monte, secretary of the Interna-
tional Game Fish Association.

BARKING DOGS IN MANTEO
KEEP FOLKS AWAKE NIGHTS

There has been much complaint
for some time about dogs running
loose on the streets of Manteo.
Chief of Police M. C. Mitchell
calls attention to the town ordin-
ance on dogs. The ordinance reads
as follows:
Gall dogs shall be kept off the
streets unless accompanied by the
owner. If dogs are on the street
at large they shall be picked up
and placed in a pound until the
owner calls for them and pays a
fee for the care of the dog while
in the pound, this fee to be $1.0O
for the first three days, or any
part thereof and SOC a day there
after"

PARROT LIKE BIRD
SEEN IN DARE FOREST

Stumpy Point.-David Lawrence
timber cruising on the Dare main
land saw a bird in the swampy
woodland three miles from Stumpy
Point on Tuesday which he said
all the colors of parrot.
This brought up the question
again, does the Carolina Paroquet,
supposedly extinct for many years,
continue to exist in the great wood
lands of this coastal county. Once
the Ivory Billed Woodpecker was
supposed to have been extinct I'M
til small flock Of them was dis
covered in the Louisiana swanps
a few years ago-Ken Ward, Dare
fish and game guide had reported
two years ago that he thought he
had seen parrot in the big woods
Of Dare County, but Il was never
substantiated.

SECOND SAIEFlSH OF
SEASON LANDED OFF
HATTERAS TUESDAY

Hatteras.-John Laskey of
Washington, D. c., who came to
Hatteras to fish exclusively for
blue marlin, raised four on Mon
day, but failed to get either of
the giants to take the whole mack
erel bait that was being trolled in
the wake of Capt. Ernal Fosters
Gulf Stream cruiser, Albatross.
On Tuesday he landed a sailfish,
a speciman weighing Al pounds
and measuring 6 foot eleven inch.
es from tip to tip. The sail, second
to be landed in Hatteras waters
this year from aboard the Alba
tross, was taken with the marlin
bait.
His sail was IL inches longer
than the first caught this year
along the North Carolina coast.
The first sail of the season was
a 6-footer landed by James f.
Beatley of Richmond, Va.

THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF
AMBERJACK ARE RELIED IN

Thousands of pounds of Am
berjack, a Gulf Stream variety
of game fish which attract many
anglers to the Dare Coast from
Mays Head and Wanchese south
ward to Hatteras Village each
summer, have been caught dur
ing the past few days.
1t has not been considered
anything out of the ordinary for
a half dozen anglers aboard a
charter boat catching up to so
jack averaging 20 or more
pounds per fish.
On Sunday alone an estimated
5000 pounds of these sports fish
were caught. In the old days
anglers, 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
81 jack. On the same day an
other Norfolk party out in the
blue water aboard Capt. Omie
Tillett's Jerry Jr., landed AZ fish.

jack, and several weighed more
than Is 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 bottom and to bring
one to gait is no easy job.
Feathers and spoons are used
to lure the fish.
