FOUND FISHING GOOD
IN DARE COAST WATERS

During their two weeks vaca-
ton here at Kill Devil Hills, the
Lawrence Owen and Ernest Still
Ter families of Salisbury, N. c.,
were amazed at the variety and
number of fishes that swim in
local waters.
Their total take of large mouth
bass during their vacation was
90 and their fresh water score
made in Kitty Hawk Bay also
included Is white perch and 16
blue gill Dream. Trolling from
the bridge on the Manteo high
way these two SALISBURY fani-
lies caught a mixed bag Of IL
striped bass and trout. and dur
ing two days of fishing from
an ocean pier they reeled in 104
blues. They caught so many fish
of so many varieties, that they
did not keep a record of the
croakers, pigfish, sea mullet and
founders, il was stated.

OREGON INLET FERRY
SERVICE INADEQUATE
FOR TOURIST TRAFFIC

Rodanthe.-North Carolina has
built Americas ''first real ocean
highway, between Mays Head and
Hatteras and the pavement is such
that traffic can pass over the
route without experiencing diff
Guilty.
"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 all autos carrying tourists
and Hatteras Island residents over
the water link of the highway"
said Capt. Levine Midget 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 Mays Head"
eve 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 Argues"
Captain Midget is of the opin-
ion that as the State built the
present highway that has opened
the once isolated island and it's
seven communities to tourists, the
officials should have anticipated
the travel to this area and created
an Oregon Inlet ferry system that
will serve the public.
"North Cardinals 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 criti-
cal situation" he concluded.

JUST WHAT IS A FRANCHISE? !?

The question of just what is a franchise has become an important one to this community as the AL aska Telephone Corporation, which operates the local telephone com pany, issued an ultimatum to the City Council this week that if no rate increase is granted it will break it's franchise with the city.
 The company asked for rate in creases on its telephones ranging from 20 per cent on some residen- tial phones to as high as 67 per cent on business phones. It bases it's request on increased costs of doing business and the necessity of replacing old equipment to main tain service.
 In presenting the company's case to the City Council Douglas Starr, the corporation manager, stated that if the rate increases are not approved by the Council, the com pany will discontinue it's 24-hour service as provided for in the fran chise which permits Il phone company to operate as a public utility within the city.
 The natural question follows: Just what is franchise?
 As We understand it, a franchise is an agreement, in this case en- tered into between the City and the phone company, to fulfill cer- tain commitments aimed at sup plying telephone service to this community. Like any other con- tract, it is only as good as the par ties who make it. The result of broken contract is usually a day in court.
 It seems to us that is the situa- tioH- facing this community in con- neetion with the telephone rate in crease.
 As to the actual rate increase, there is, in these inflationary times, usually some Justification for tipping virtually everything. It is no doubt costing the telephone company more money to do busi-
