The Traffic Cons
OF the Waterways
By James Birchiield

TIME ARMY ENGINEERS, who have
l. charge Of the navigation channels
in our inland waterways, are the "traffic
cops" of American rivers and bays, but
unlike the highway patrolmen, they
won't arrest you for speeding. Instead,
they'll help you make better time.
It is the duty of the Army engineers
to keep open the navigation channels
and they sometimes may make an
arrest. but it Is always the person ham,
pering speed or use of the navigation
ways that gets the ticket.
The Washington District of the Corps
Of Engineers for example. has under
its care all Of the Potomac River, the
Chesapeake Bay from Cove Point down
about to Wolf Trap Light, the Kappa
hammock River and other smaller rivers
and inletS in the area It's patrol boat,
the Anacostia, covers more than TOO
miles of waterways, seeing that the
navigation channels are kept open TWO
patrols are made each year-during the
spring and fall fishing seaSons-so,
roughly, the AnacoStia covers more
than 1,400 miles during her inspection
cruises.
Main concern of the inspection crew,
headed by J. X. Mears, 1905 Seventeenth
street Sc, is the placing of fishnets in
the bay and tributary rivers. According
Evening star., 1953-05-24

to law, nets may be placed on stakes
extending out to the navigation lines,
but allowing shoreward passages for
small vessels. The navigation lines are
marked by buoys, which sometimes get
shifted about and 1t Is up to the In
Spector to see that the buoys are cor
rectly placed and that the nets do not
infringe on navigation waters.
Mr.. Mears has been an inspector in
the Chesapeake Bay area for IA years
He must be something of both sur
veyor and navigator. He uses
sextant, but instead of shooting the
stars" as sea captain does to find
his location at sea, he takes his read
ings from fixed objects, such as light
houses, to determine the correct loca-
ton Of his buoys.
II Mr. Mears finds flshnets that tut
out into navigation waters, he must
first determine If the buoys marking
the ship lanes are in correct position.
He does this by sighting on fixed objects
and working out the location Of the
buoys by triangulation, the method
used by land surveyors.
If the buoys are where they should
be and the nets are out of place. the
fisherman, whose license number must
be on the nets, is notified officially to
move his nets and stakes If the fisher

all around them. Do they know that there is a higher hteraeya
rate here than most places of similar size and economic con
dition on the mainlandP Do they know that the crime rate
here is lower than any spot of comparable. size where they
come 'FRONT.' Do they observe that real democracy and equal
ity has prevailed here for centuries. 1
IT is ALSO MOST unfair to throw out such an attack
on the Christian church in the Islands. For years church
schools have been teaching young people and doing a good
lob. Church attendance is relatively high, and the Johnsons
can write home that they are safer here in their person and
personal belonging than any other place they have set loot
FINALLY, THE WRITERS of this paragraph showed
that they were refusing to see what was intended by saying
there was SO much Of the world, that there was little
ENJOYABLE" Again, they missed the boat, injecting their own
personal ideas, and s~uperimposing their own religious beliefs
upon a celebration intended only to give a picture OF what
used to be.
ONE DOES o have to be a clergyman to know that
Iesns turned water into wine so that the marriage celebration
should continue, or that he gave credit to worldly things when
he used the coin to bring out that what was Caesars ought
to be given to Caesar.
MISSIONARIES SHOULD not make such sweeping
statements in which they label everything as pagan OF
accuse the Christian church of not having accomplished much
# is not fair to others, and fairness is certainly an important
Ingredient of Christianity.

BEWILDERED MISSIONARIES

DEW1LDEnEDN UNDERGRADUATES
THE FOLLOWING paragraph from a letter written by
Rev. and Mrs. Leroy Johnson in The Burning Bush, a weekly
magazine of March 5, 1858 las published in the AVIS yester-
day. attracted our attention:
ST. croix this year put in what they were pleased TO call
an "old fashioned Christmas but some of the features of
the celebration had SO much of the pagan about Them. and
others * much of the world, that little was enjoyable. Prac-
tcaly every day during the season there was a parade a
dance o similar celebration. For all of its two hundred years
in the islands. the Christian church has accomplished appar-
emily little. !"
THAT MR. MRS. Johnson have misconceived the
idea is too evident for argument. Every country has its own
peculiarities, its customs and mores, many of which grew out
of centuries old traditions, and which form the basis OF a way
Of life. The old fashioned Christmas was an effort to
to capture some of the spirit and color of old times. That pas
all. And the onIooker who taxed his intelligence to read into
the celebration anything deeper or more significant missed
the boat entirely.
BUT THE IOHNSONS letter, unfortunately, followed
the pattern of so many who come to parts of the world like
these, see things, misunderstood them, make no effort to COM
prehend, and then write home what they consider accurate
accounts. But for this the letter could we'll go unnoticed.
IN DECIDING THAT there was much that was pagan
about the celebration, the Tohnsons showed little grasp OF his
tory, or even their own field of religion. There is always the
temptation to label as pagan" anything which differs from
our own way of thinking. 1t is for this very reason that Jesus
gave the parable Of the Pharisee and the Publican-a parable
with which the Johnsons, we are sure, are very familiar.
u THESE WRITERS went further in showing their
misunderstanding of life or even Christianity. 10 make the
brash statement that For all of its two hundred years
the Christian church has accomplished little is to leave an
unfortunate impression on readers of the magazine. 1t is even
more unfortunate that two people who seem normal IN all
ways should show so little knowledge of what is SO apparent

TWO MORE PLACES
OF BUSINESS OPEN

Nags Head - Saturday night
Is the time some youngster is go
ing to be made happy with a
Shetland pony. AIS Bingo, which
has been open recently, announc-
ed that the pony would be the
prize in a coverall bingo game
on shutter cards.
Since he opened, Mr.. Mater
has had 10 persons employed.
Later in the season he probably
will have more. This is the only
one of the four bingo places on
the beach that pays exclusively
in cash, except in such special
games as the Shetland pony.
Next door to AIS Bingo, Ray
mond Zalty of New York has
opened the Surfside restaurant
and gift shop. Although a res
taurant has previously been
housed in that location, the gift
shop is an innovation.
Before opening, Mr.. Zalty had
the building completely remodel
ed inside. He employed a dozen
helpers.

commission will be in session
at the office of Avalon Supply

At this weeks meeting, Mayor
J. L. Murphy reported on trip
he and one of the commissioners
took to Raleigh recently to put
in claims for Kill Devil Hills
share of state funds available to
municipalities. He said the new
town on the beach qualified for
a share of beer and wine taxes
and a share of the franchise tax.
In the case of the Powell bill
funds for street work, Mayor
Murphy said it was certain that
Kill Devil Hills would qualify
for this as soon as a map, now
in process of being made, is SUBJ
mitted. It is expected that this
allotment will amount to as
much as $4,000. Powell bill funds
are distributed on a basis of
