Search for Son Left Some

intrigued the beach, may soon
be forthcoming.
Mrs. Nellie Myrtle Pridgen,
who befriended Mrs. John Dav-
les few months ago when she
passed this way with three big
dogs and a puppy in a vague
search for son she had left
years before, recently received
a card from Anna Ray Keats of
Dover, Tenn, who wrote:
"a women with three dogs
left this card here. I figured you
gave it to her to hear from her,
She spent the night here and
headed for Memphis, Tenn. You
write me and I'll tell you more
about it."
When she came this way, Mrs.
Davies identified herself as a
former circus and carnival en-
ployee who in more recent years
had been living in Florida. She
told that when her son was
about 2 or 3 years old she had
left him with his uncle and had
since lost all track of him, but
she thought the house was in
this general vicinity. Later she
was heard from in Virgini a
Beach, and rumors have floated
back about her wanderings.
Mrs. Pridgen said she intended
to write to the Tennessee ad.

FOUL FISHING WEATHER
ENDS FIRST OF WEEK;
ANGLERS MAKE CATCHES

After weeks of foul fishing
weather anglers on the Dare

early this week. Catches were
being reported daily in Oregon

Capt. C. L. Stallings had ac-
counted for seven big bass, none
weighing less than 35 pounds,

FOUR HEARINGS
ARE SCHEDULED
NEXT TUESDAY
Warrant Sworn Out for Pat
Bayne After Portsmouth
Youth Is Shot in
Left Thigh

AS result of fracases on the
beach Saturday night, four per-
sons face charges in recorders
court May IL. Because of cleo
ton, no court was held this week
and the cases were put over to
next Tuesday.
Pat Bayne, owner and operator
of Jockey Ridge restaurant, is
charged with assault with a
deadly weapon and inflicting
serious and painful injuries on
Frank Drake, Is, of Portsmouth.
Mr.. Bayne is under bond. The
Drake boy told officers that he,
with other boys, parked their
car in front of the restaurant
while they climbed Jockey Ri
dge. When they returned to the
car, he said, man came out on
the upstairs porch, ordered them
away and before they could go
shot at them. The Drake boy
was shot in the left thigh, but
his condition is not regarded as
critical, though he was taken to
a Portsmouth hospital Four
shots, believed to be from a %
calibre rifle, penetrated the car.
Mr.. Bayne's account of the
events, as repeated by Sheriff
Frank Cohoon, is that the boys
had been banging on the restau-
rant door after closing hours.
He asked them to leave, but
they returned and continued to
raise a disturbance, he said
Although he got a black eye
in the process, Officer D. F.
Thyme arrested George P. Jones,
attached to the naval air sta
ton at Weeksville, Saturday
night, at the Casino. Jones is
said to have struck both Thyme
and a member of the shore pa
troll. He faces charges of creating
disturbance in a public place,

sisting arrest, assaulting an Of
ficer and using violent and in
decent language in pub i C
place. Jones, who made bond,
will also be courtmartialed, Sher-
Tiff Cohoon said.

was charged with being drunk
and disorderly and engaging in
an affray. He was released I'M
der bond.
]. c. Shelton of Suffolk, Va,

PONDER STEPS TO
RESTORE BURNED
AREA IN DARE
Pulp Company Making Plans
for Re-Seeding Property;
Map Shows Area
Burned

Foresters of West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company have begun
broad study of the company's
fire-swept woodlands along Croa-
tan Sound in an effort to determine
what preliminary steps will be
taken to restore the area ravaged
by last weeks destructive fire. A
map of the burned area is shown
on page 8 of this weeks paper.
The fire, which began Sunday
morning at the intersection of
Point Peter Canal and Highway
264, swept through more than IT,
600 acres of growing pine and
pine seedlings before it was
brought under control Thursday
evening. 1t is estimated that the
fire cost the company about 10 to
Is years progress in its forest de-
velopment program, as we'll as
many thousands of dollars.
William Ernst, Jr., of Manteo,
manager of the company's North
Carolina Woodlands, said that re-
storing growth of the proper spe-
cies on fire-damaged land is diff
ficult job because of the vast acrea-
ge involved and the complete re-
stocking that must be accomplish
ed by artificial methods. With the
loss by fire of all seed trees, the
next crop must be established
largely by mans efforts.
Such artificial reforestation re-
quires the successful duplication of
natures efforts and involves many
problems. 1t is necessary to locate
and collect large quantities of pine
seed, properly prepare them for
planting, and then distribute them
over large areas in such a way
that growth will be assured. Prop
er moisture conditions must be pres
ent for early growth of seed, rod
ent and bird feeding of the seed
often brings failure to these eff
forts; in addition, insect damage
may be an important factor in pre-
venting the successful establish
ment of piEe stands. Years will be
required to bring productive stands
of timber back to these lands that
have been heavily burned.
Meanwhile the company is con-
tinuing it's plans for broad fire
protection over the entire Dare
County area, which has been the
No. l item on its program since it
acquired the Dare County lands a
year ago. Work on the drainage
project is progressing with the con-
struction of the road south of the
East Lake highway. This will make
a greater portion of the property
accessible for reforestation activi-
ties. Additional improvement in
the radio system is planned by the
company which will enable two
way communications between plane
and ground crews. This will give
further effectiveness to fire fight
ing methods.
Plans are to erect an additional
fire tower on the southern part of
the mainland to aid in detection of
fires. With the erection of this tow
er, fire control efforts throughout
the mainland will be greatly i'm
