For Robert Bruce Etheridge,
the House had Golden Anniver-
sary greetings and a little pres
ent Wednesday.
House members paid tribute
to colleague Etheridge, the Re
preventative from Dare who
served his first House term in
1908, with a resolution of tri-
butte, then a flowery speech by
its sergeant-at-arms, Wayland
Spruill of Windsor. Then it top
ped off the ceremony with a
little gift, a watch fob.
In return, 'UncIe Bruce" Eth
eridge said he would carry i!
always in my heart =. am deep
ly grateful"
The longtime State conserva-
ton director was lolling in his
seat reading the morning paper
as they began the ceremony of
tribute to him. The resolution
came from Rep. Joseph Hunt of
Guilford. In the speech that fol-
owed, Spruill reminisced about
former sessions in which he had
served with Etheridge.
The silver-haired Etheridge, a
Manteo resident, was born on
July 81, 1873. He attended Man.
teo's public schools, then Trinity
College at Durham, now Duke
University. From 1907 until 1888
he was cashier for the Bank of
Manteo. He also had served as
the postmaster of the little coast
al town, as superintendent of the
Dare schools, as State Senator
in 1907, as a member of the
Democratic State Executive
Committee and State Conserva-
ton Director from 1888 until
Kerr Scott took office in 1919.
And once he was Clerk of the
Court.
His first session as Dare Repre-.
sentative came in 1908, so years
ago. He came back in 1905, 1929,
1881, 1888, 1851 and 1858.
In his long, varied and honor
able career he has served truly,
faithfully, with native dignity
and good humor until he him

NONRESIDENT ANGLERS
ALLEGE FERRY is TRAP"

Oregon Inlet. - North Caro-
lina's toll-free ferrv at Oregon
Inlet has been described as a
trap" by anglers in the Wash
ington D. C. area who took their
complaints to Kennedy Ludlam,
outdoors editor, Washington
Times Herald and a well known
radio commentator of the Dis
trict of Columbia territory.
Ludlam in a letter to the Dare
County Tourist Bureau stated
that he had called the situation
to the, attention of the AAA
who have agreed to issue proper
warming" The situation" as
Ludlam put it, seems to hinge
around the fact that anglers and
tourists driving to- Hatteras Is
land are being marooned on the
south side of the Inlet when
and if an automobile is the
ninth car on the last north
bound trip which leaved (under
present schedule) at 4:50 pm,
OF if one fails to make this
ferry on the return trip from
communities south of the Inlet.
'It seems that before the
State took over the operation of
Oregon Inlet ferry the private
owner used to operate the boat
until all waiting cars had been
sferried across north bound" said
Ludlam. "Now, according to sew
eral who have been stranded on
the south side, the last trip is
at 4:50 p. M"
Actually during the summer
months the schedules continue
until early evening, but the sum-
mer schedules may not 60 into
s(effect until June or June ID.
The Bear ferry is soon to be
replaced by a former govern
ment LSU now being converted
which will haul % cars. There
have been considerable local
complaints, especially from re-
sidents of Hatteras Island, that

CLAIM OF RICHES
FROM ILMENITE.I is
NEW HUMBUGG'RY
Treasure Alleged in Outer
Banks Sands Would Not
Be For Our Land
Owners

A big-headed story about pur-
ported fortunes in ilmenite, a
material used in paint and other
products, that is supposed to be
in the sands of the North Caro-
lima coast was published in Sun
days Virginian-Pilot. The story
which had to do with surveys
made by the National Lead Com
pany last year, looks like some
more of the planted propaganda
: to discourage the creation of the
National Seashore Park, by fill
ing people with the thought that
the sand is loaded with VERT
able gold"
While some people who do
little thinking might fall for this
: line of stuff, little thought
may easily prove it is all suck
er-bait. Nothing further deserves
the title of poppycock. In the
first place, if there should be
ilmenite in the sands, it is not
the landowners who would pro-
fit by it. The profit would go to
the company fortunate enough
to hook the people into giving
leases to dig it out of the
ground.
According to offers that have
been made, the lease money
promised is SO negligible as to
be laughable.
On top of this the value of
the land would be completely
destroyed because the operation
would tear UP all the grass,
shrubbery, trees, and leave the
soil to become the prey of the
winds and tides and ultimately
swept away. In a short time
would be lost all the gains made
in the upbuilding of our beach
es that have taken place in the
past 20 years.
1t is a little difficult to be-
lieve there are people so stupid
as not to see the damage they
can do to our coast by encourag-
ing the digging UP and turning
over of the sands, particularly
since the financial gain is so
trifling.
It is automatic that thin
dime Immediately in front of the
eye can obscure completely the
vision of a ton of dollars some
distance away. That is true in a
case where anyone would con-
slider accepting a few cents for
permission to dig up his land.
1t is blind man who can't see
that other things in our future
offer lot more in every respect
for the welfare of all of us.
This ilmenite propaganda is
sheer humbuggery so far as pro-
fits go for our people. As said
before, it is difficult to believe
any folks are dumb enough to
fall for it. There are some, per-
haps, who will.
