LEWARK LANDS II
FISH ALL AT ONCE
By AYCOCK BROWN

Kill Devil Hills.-Capt Will Lee
wark, retired Coast Guard officer
who took up fishing for fun as a
hobby upon his retirement from
the service made an unusual rec
ord while fishing in Albemarle
Sound, two miles southeast of
Wade's Point Lighthouse on Mon
day. AS result he is undisputa-
bly, the champion striped bass or
rock fisherman on the Dare coast
today.
Fishing alone from his 25-foot
boat with 81 artificial lures trolled
from the stern he hit a school of
stripers and caught 81, all at the
same time. He was using yellow
head bucktails which he had made
himself.
In all he landed 70 fish, weigh
ing a total of 83 pounds. The larg-
est fish however, scaled at an
ounce over six pounds.
His multiple rigs consisted of
seven three way ringers, and two
rods and reels.
Previously it had been reported
that the stripers or rockfish as
they are better known locally were
schooling in the waters of Abe
marie Sound. Capt. Tom Basnight,
skipper of the State Fisheries Pa
troll craft Croatan reporter rum
ming through three schools be-
tween Wade's Point and Roanoke
Sound last week. A. few good
catches of the stripers had been
reported by anglers hereabouts,
but none could touch the catch
and the record Capt. Lewark made
on Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Beatty Of
Cleveland, Ohio, spending fishing
vacation at Mays Head, were rum
nerups to Capt. Lewark on Mon
day. Trolling in upper Croatan
Sounds they landed IL striped
bass.
The real challenge for striped
bass fishermen along the Dare
coast is to catch one from the surf.
So far this season none have been
landed with rod and reel by beach
fishermen, but they've been report
ed in the breakers.

walton of the unique fora anc
fauna or the photographic condi.
tions now prevailing. These fea.
lures will be fully protected" ,
What part will the present Outer
Bankers play in the development
of the park?
Mr.. Lisle says, at is our hope
that overnight accommodations
meals, boating, fishing, hunting
and other facilities, services and
supplies will be adequately pro-
vided by these villages on Halter
as and Ocracoke Islands, which
should result not only in the pro-
vision of facilities and services for
visitors in the pleasant and hos
pitable atmosphere of these towns,
but should furnish desirable job
opportunities and commercial ben
efits to the towns-people."
Unauthorized solicitation of bus
mess or erection of buildings on
Federally owned land" according
to Mr.. Lisle, sis prohibited, and
there is no possibility of indis-
criminate commercial enterprise
on the area"
Economically, the National Park
Service sees great benefits to the
State through increased tourist
business:
eve believe" he said, "that
just as the Great Smoky Noun
tain National Park and the Blue
Ridge Parkway in Western North
Carolina have already proven to
be of considerable economic and
social benefit to the State, the
seashore project, in a few years,
will bring similar economic and
social benefits to the eastern por-
ton of the State"
"The project will not uproot any
of the villagers or force a change
in their homes or habits, but it
would seem that the expanded OPP
portunities which will be made
available, may result in some
changes in the present mode of
living of the local inhabitants, !"
Mr.. Lisle says.
Although he is not more specific
on this last point, it is not hard
to predict what those changes will
be.
The main income of the Outer
Bankers today is from commercial
fishing. Their second source of
revenue (there are no figures to
show how much) is the tourist
trade. At the present time, the
tourists are mostly hunters and
fishermen. These hunters and fish
ermen are different from the ordi-
nary tourist in that they. demand
very little other than roof over
their heads, adequate food and
plenty Of hunting and fishing.

MILLION AND QUARTER
VISIT WESTERN PARK

ness, he only needs to read the
figures showing what it has done
for the National Park in the N. c.
Mountains. More than a million
and a quarter people visited the
park during the year.
All records fell in August, for
visitations to the Blue Ridge
Parkway and Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, which
converge in North Carolina.
Parkway travel scared to 634,133
persons as compared with 432,-
844 in August of last year. The
Great Smokes Park counted
582, 726 persons as compared with
436,277 in August last year.
In Dare County alone, where
there is yet no park, but two Ma
tional monuments, tourist at
tendance jumped higher even
than the attendance at the Lost
Colony.
Travel to Mays Head and Roa-
noke Island is used as the coas-
tai tourist barometer because &C.
curate records are kept at two
National Park service projects
there. For August, visitors to the
Wright Memorial totalled 1902
as compared with 39,516 in Aug
ust of last year. At Roanoke Is
land (Fort Raleigh National His
toric Site) August visitations
were 55,591 as compared with 49,

MANNING GRAY RETlRES
AFTER 80 YEARS SERVICE

Boatswain Edward Manning
Gray of the United States Coast
Guard, yesterday retired after 80
years of active service. The Coast
Guardsman, whose home is at Vir-
GINA Beach, entered military serv-
ice when he was indicted in the
Army in 1918. He is now 81 years
old.
He is married to Rosa Bell Gray.
They have four sons, two in the
Coast Guard service.
Gray first went overseas with
the 81st Army Division and return
ed in 1919. He later entered the
Coast Guard at Elizabeth City. He
was born in Avon.
He was discharged in 1921, and
re-enlisted two years later. Since
that time he has spent considerable
time on duty in this area.
First he served at the Oak Island
Coast Guard Station, following
duty at Elizabeth City. He then
went to Spermaceti Cove Coast
Guard Station in New Jersey and
then to Dam Neck Mills, where he
made boatswain mate second class.
In 1888 he transferred to False
Cape and in 1887 went on food re-
lief detail on the Ohio River. He
was credited with rescuing SO per-
sons with his surfboat.
Transferred to Virginia Beach
in 1887, he made chief boatswain
mate in 1912, and appointed to Of
ficer-in-charge and later group
commander. He accepted warrant
boatswain in 1949 and took COM
mand of the Mohical.

What will the Cape Hatteras
National Seashore be like after
the U. S. Park Service takes it
over and opens it to tourists?
The answer is that it will look
almost exactly like it does now,
because one of the main purposes
of turning the privately owned
area into a Federal park is to
prevent it from being changed too
much.
In the words of E. NJ. Isle, as
sistant regional director of the
National Park Service, whose Of
flee is at Richmond, Va:
"No specific plans have yet been
prepared for the development of
this National Seashore, nor can
they be to any great extent until
the necessary lands have been ac-
quired. In general, the plan will
be to keep the area in as natural,
simple and dignified a condition
as possible. No Coney Island or
Jones Beach is contemplated, al
though public use areas will be
provided at suitable locations.
Will Employ Many People
Who's going to pay for the de-
velopment of the park, once the
Park Service takes over? In Mr..
Lisle's words:
provision of facilities within
the National Seashore recreation
area will be Federal undertaking
and the State will not be required
to furnish any funds. The size of
the staff which will be needed for
the administration and protection
of the area will depend upon the
extent of the area and the use of
the area made by the public. 'Ad-
ministration, protection and inter-
probation of the area will require
a staff which will include a super
intendent, park rangers, natural
lists, a clerical unit and a mainte-
nance force. All will be Federal
employees and no cost will devolve
upon the State"
How will the area be improved?
Mr.. Isle replies:
Camping likely will be restrict
ed to specifically designated camp
sites where the necessary sanitary
and use, facilities will be furnished
for the protection and enjoyment
Of the visitors. Picnic and bathing
areas will be provided, but we
foresee no special restrictions I'M
less conditions should develop
making them necessary. No en-
trance fee is contemplated.
while it is likely that there
will be need for extensive public
use facilities, the major portion
of the area will be preserved per-
manently as a primitive wilder
ness and no development will be
undertaken therein which would
be incompatible with the preser-

June, 1851, and was sent overseas
January, 1852. He served as an
automatic rifieman in the 18th
Infantry Regiment, 3rd Division.
He was severely wounded by a
hand grenade in an assault on
Hill 355 near Womb, Korea on
February Is, 1852. He was evacu-
ated from Korea to Tokyo, and
was subsequently transferred to
Walter Reed May Is, 1852. Since
arriving at Walter Reed he has
undergone seven operations.
His plans for the future was
undecided, however, he plans tc
take advantage of the vocational
training through the Veterans Ad-
ministration upon his discharge
from service.

THE VETERANS CORNER

Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to four questions of interest to
former servicemen and their fami-
lies.
@. ! am a disabled veteran en-
titled to a VA grant for the pur-
chase of an automobile. Is there
any deadline for applying for my
car?
A. Yes. Your application must
be filed either by October 20, 1854,
or three years after your separa-
ton from service, whichever date
is later.
Q. Must a veterans blindness be
service-connected, in order for him
to get the electronic and mechani.
cal equipment that VA issues to the
blinded?
A. Not necessarily. The veteran
must be entitled to compensation
for service-connected disability.
which may either be loss of sight
or some other disability.
Q. l am a Korean veteran. After

Il got out of service, 1 changed
my name. Would that bar me
from getting a CT loan, since all
my military and discharge re
cords are made out in the name
l no longer use?
A. No. If you are otherwise eli
gible, you would be entitled to the
loan. However, you must submi
competent evidence that establish
es your identity.
@. I'm planning to enroll in .

which the commission contends
would 60 far towards meeting the
country's health needs.
In general" the report said
''the diagnosis and treatment of
disease are quite well done in this
country. The fact that these skiIls
are unavailable to many people
constitutes the main problem"
As examples of how it contends
the nation is presently falling down
on the job, the commission cites
these:
l. Last year, the total national
expenditure for medical research
was $50 million dollars-which the
commission said was less than the
amount spent on building monu-
ments and tombstones.
2. .''In rural areas, recipients of
public assistance often get second
rate care from the standpoint
both of medical science and human
dignity. The system of poorly paid
county physicians still in vogue
in many parts of the country is
medical shame"
In its criticism of doctors, the
commission said sometimes a pa
tient is led to believe his family
doctor performs a surgery where
as he actually hires another doctor
to do the job after the patient has
table.
The commission offered no evi-
dence of its own regarding such
practices. But it said top-flight
organizations within the medical
profession had called attention to
such things periodically and had
roundly rebuked them as unethi-
cal.
Here is a digest of some of the
findings with regard to the ma
tons health conditions as out
lined by the commission:

New Coaxial Cable Carries
Flow OF Long Distance Calls

Long distance telephone traffic
was flowing smoothly today over
new coaxial cable circuits linking
Orlando and Tampa, telephone Of
ficials reported.
The new coaxial cable route,
branching off at Orlando from
The cable connecting Miami with
Jacksonville by way Of the Gen.
tral Florida city, was opened Of
fieiaIly at midnight last Safvr-
day. The first call was made by
John B. Kineaid, Jacksonville,
Florida Manager Of the South
ern Bell Telephone Company TO
Carl D. Rrorein, president Of fiae
Peninsviar Company at Tampa.
The call travelled the entire dis
tance by the coaxial cable which
is owned jointly by Southern Bell,
Pcninsular and the Long Lines De-
partment of the American Tcle.
phone and Telegraph Company.
Kincaid and Brorein commended
the new route as stormpyooi
means OF telephone eommuIlica-
tions that will initially provide 80
new circuits to meet the growing
seasonal demand for long distance
facilities from the nationwide Bell
System facilities to the Florida
West Coast area.
When fully developed the eight
coaxial tubes will carry hun.
drsds Of simultaneous telephone
calls plus network radio and
te'cvis:on programs.
At first, two Of the tubes viii
be equipped for telephone traffic
and two viii be scheduled as
standby equipment.
Begun in August, work of laying
and splicing the cable was COM
pleted in time to handle the in
creased load of Christmas tele-
phone traffic, Kincaid said.
Twelve repeater stations, hous-
ing amplifying equipment, boosts
the electrical current that carries
the conversations along the 1O1-
mile route between the two cities.
Cable plows buried the cable un-
derground where ii is safe from
high winds and other hazards.
Should it become damaged, a
special signalling system notifies
technicians so that it can be
promptly repaired.
The coaxial cable derives its
name from the fact that each
coaxial tube has common axis.
This is an inner conductor about
the size of a pencil lead separated
from an ouler conductor by plas-
tic discs, The entire tube is about
the thickness of a fountain pen.
Enclosed with other telephone wire

WASHINGTON Up - Cold cash
appears to be the main prescrip-
ton Of President Truman's special
health commission for curing the
nations "demonstrable, well-docu-
mented health needs"
In reporting such needs last week
after year-long survey, the COM
mission indirectly laid some Of the
blame at the door of the medical
profession.
But it also strongly implied that
society as a whole is largely re-
sponsible for the situation and
should bear the brunt of correction
principally by digging deeper in.
to its governmental and private
pocketbook.
The criticism Of doctors and
allied health personnel included
allegations that:
/. There are overall organiza-
tional deficiencies in the way these
professional people apply their
combined skills.
2. Some doctors are guilty Of
what the report called such "re-
prehensible conduct" as fee-split-
ting.
8. Family doctors and specialists
are too often in isolation" from
one another and so do not CO.
ordinate their skiIls for the best
interests Of the patient.
4. The medical profession hasn't
made completely adequate provi-
sion for the continued, up-to-the-
minute education Of the family
doctor after he sets up practice,
although sometimes individual doc
tors are themselves TO blame.
5. The medical schools aren't
giving enough emphasis in their
general training to matters con-
