WILDFOWL GATHER BUT
HUNTING NOT TOO GOOD

Mays Head. - Wildfowl is
plentiful in Dare coastal waters
and also in Currituck Sound, but
hunting parties have not been
having very good luck during re-
cent days, primarily because the
weather was too good for good
hunting.
The coast of Dare is one place
where a sportsman who cares to
do so can usually get his limit
of wildfowl in the morning and
catch plenty of fish during the
afternoon. In the Kitty Hawk
area in recent years some hunt
ers bring guns and tackle, fish
ing for large mouth bass when
their bag limit of game has been
obtained. Others try the salt
water fishing after a morning in
the blinds.

PARK SERVICE
PASSES $4,000
ACRE LAND MARK

The Board of Commissioners OF
Dare County, at their August
meeting, voted to transfer title
of large tract of county owned
land to the National Park Ser
vice for inclusion in the Cape
Hatteras National Seashore Area.
The tract, located on lower Bodie
Island about 2 miles north of
Oregon Inlet, contains over 600
acres. The County was unwilling
to make an outright doratiou of
the land so the National Park
Service has agreed to pay $780,
10000 for the property.
The resolution adopted by the
Dare Commissioners to transfer
ownership of the land indicated
that is was to be used in the de-
velopment program of the Ma
tional Seashore Project for the
material and recreational benefit
of all the people of Dare County
and their visitors. 1t was under
similar conditions that the county
accepted the property as a gift
from the late David L. Lindquist
in 1912.
The addition of this acreage to
that already acquired for the
Seashore Project will bring the
total to over $4,000 acres. The
balance has been acquired by
purchase, condemnation, gift
from public spirited citizens, and
by transfer from the State of
North Carolina. When the ac-
QUESTION program is completed,
total or approximately 28,5OO
acres will be included within the
seashore boundary. These bound
aries were set jointly by the
North Carolina Cape Hatteras
Seashore Commission and the
National Park Service and ap-
proved by the Secretary of the
Interior last October.
The addition of the Dare Coun-
ty property will aid materially
in the completion of the acquisi-
ton program for the National
Seashore, which was authorized
by Congress in 1887.

STRIPED BASS CATCHES ON
UPGRADE AFTER STORM

Wanchese. Striped bass
catches which made such sensa-
tional news in the Wanchese area
during November 1852 seems to
be picking up now following
several days of rough waters and
stormy weather generally, it was
reported Monday by Mack Ether
idge, operator of Mack's Fishing
Center here.
All boats out from here on the
week end brought back fish, but
none in great numbers.
Capt. j.. F. Turner's party
landed 10, the top catch of the
day on Sunday said Etheridge.
"All during November last
year the parties were bringing in
good catches everytime they
went after striped bass" said
Etheridge.
Last year in November, striped
bass fishing was so good at times,
that parties chartering boats
caught so many fish that they
would often sell enough to local
fish, houses for enough to pay
their boat charter fee and still
have enough left over for their
own use.

BIG CHANNEL BASS
HIT SURF WATERS
OF CAPE HATTERAS

Beautiful November weather
has resulted in the biggest and
best channel bass catches of the
Autumn season during the past
week end here at Cape Hatteras.
Largest of the species landed was
a 52-pounder taken by Leland w
Clodfelter of Winston Salem.
Clodfelter was fishing In the
surf at the Point of the Cape in
company with H. Asa Snyder of
Denton and Elmer Ball of Lex
ington. In addition to the big fish,
a number of smaller channel bass
were landed by this party.
Runnerup to the Clodfelter
fish of SO pounds was one that
scaled at exactly so pounds land
ed by Mrs. Howard L. Valentine
of Whiteville. Her big fish too,
was caught in the surf at the
Point of Cape Hatteras. She was
fishing with her husband and
with Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Dyer,
Sr., of Whiteville. In all, this
party shared in the catches of
more than 20 channel bass weigh
ing above 80 pounds each, were
taken.
George Fuller, owner-operator
of Cape Hatteras Cottage Court
here stated that hundreds of
channel bass ranging from puppy
drum size, in the five to 15-pound
class to the larger specimans 60
ing over 80 pounds each.
Fishing the surf has been pro-
ductive in other areas of Hatteras
Island from Hatteras northward
to Waves and Rodanthe. Charles
Williams, Jr., of the Cape Hat
teras Hotel at Avon reported
guests at his hotel during the
past week end had brought in
channel bass and also had fair
luck with trout and founder.
In the Mays Head region big
channel bass were being caught
on the week end from Jennettes
Pier southwark to Oregon Inlet.

TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION
MONDAY ON REPLICA OF
WRIGHTS' EARLY HANGAR
Park Service to Construct Rude Buildings to
Simulate the Living Quarters Used by Will
bur and Orville Wright When They First
Flew at Kill Devil Hills.
By AYcocK BROWN

Monday of next week will
make history again. 1t will be
the day the Park Service begins
the construction of two rude
wooden buildings that will look
just like those in which Orville
and Wilbur Wright lived and
housed their first plane back in
1902, and from where they flew
in 1903 on December 18th for the
first time.
The project is part of the plan
of getting ready for four days OF
celebration next month.
The ear-long, worldwide OBJ
servance of the Golden Anniver-
sary of Powered Flight will be
climaxed by a four-day celebra-
ton, December 14-17 at Kitty
Hawk and Kill Devil Hills here
on the North Carolina coast at the
actual site of the Wright Broth
ers' conquest of the air on Dec
ember II, 1908.
With all phases of aviation
participating, the four day cele-
bration will include special tri-
butes to pioneers and private
Flyers Day; Tuesday, Industry
Day; Wednesday, Defense Day;
and Thursday, December IT,,
Golden Anniversary Day.
A feature event of the celebra-
ton will be the unwilling and
dedication of the reconstructed
site of the birthplace of Powered
flight. Under the supervision of
the National Park Service, one
of the four sponsoring agencies,
work was scheduled to begin on
the building of the Wright Broth
ers' hanger and living quarters
this week. These buildings will
be refurnished as they appeared
in 1908. The wooden mono-rail
used to launch their rugged plane
will also be constructed on the
original site.
Airplane development will be
d e mon t r t e d when a 1912
pusher-type plane re-enacts the
first flight of II seconds at 1927
o'clock on December II over the
Wright Brothers original course,
at speed of less than so miles
per. hour, followed by modern jet
fighters breaking the sound bar
rier. Scores of the latest types
of military planes will participate
in the Air review.
In addition to the Park Service
the four day celebration is joint
ly sponsored by Kill Devil Hills
Memorial Society, Air Force AS
ISOLATION, and the North Carolina
50th Anniversary of Powered
Flight Commission. Miles L.
Clark, oil executive of Elizabeth
City is chairman of the joint COM
mittee; Ralph V. Whitener, AFA
Washington is national coordina-
tor and Carl Goerch is State
coordinator. Aycock Brown is
local coordinator of the celebra
ton.

DEER SEASON OPENS
ON FIATTERAS ISLAND

Hatteras. - 1t is open season
for the ''pigmy" or "toy" deer of
the Cape Hatteras Woods but no
reports of kills have been re-
ported since November when
it became legal to hunt the little
animals until November 80. The
deer population of the woods
here is estimated to be anywhere
from SO to 100 animals by local
residents.
Most of the hunting for the an
imals is done by local and island
residents. Instead of using large
deer hounds to locate and chase
the animals, beagle hounds are
used. Only few deer are killed
in the area each year and a
movement is underway to give
them complete protection the
year around.

The School Horse

The school horse himself was usu-
ally an old bronc of character and
experience. Though officially he was
supposed to take the children to
school, there was many an instance
when he did his utmost to keep
them from getting there.
School horses had to be gentle and
to stand for a lot of nonsense. Par
ents therefore favored horses around
20 years old, figuring horses that old
were safe and sensible enough to
make up for young drivers lack of
experience.
And don't think that some of these
old horses didn't know they were
both older and wiser than their
chargesl The attitude of some ven
cradle horses said more plainly than
words: snow, see here, child! I
know more about this than you do"
How exasperating this know-it-all
attitude could be to child anxious
to get to school on time just once!
Some icy morning the old horse
might decide it was pure foolishness

Progress Was Slow

A horse of the stubborn type might
decide not to walk unless his driver
walked too. Then the youngster had
to lead him. Chances were, if the
child tried to get back into the buggy
without the horses seeing him, the
foxy old bronc would catch him at
it, and stop right there. With such
horse progress was so slow that it
was a miracle if the child got to
school at all.
Some horses never moved faster
than majestic walk. Others at times
refused to cross shallow streams, or
bridges with new snow. Some SHE'D
at sagebrush.
Still, to do justice to school horses,
they did more to get children to
school than to keep them from it.
And it is certain that any child who
has never driven a horse to school
has missed some very interesting ex-
periences.
On thinking it all over, it occurs to
me that perhaps it was the very diff
ficulty of getting to school at all that
made SO many country children so
determined to get there. There was
a sort of challenge about it. And
what child doesn't love challenge?
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-09-15

to go to school. Repeatedly he would
try to turn around and go home. Per-
haps he would upset the easily
tipped-over wooden sleigh. Again,
the horse might decide on route
different from the one desired by
his young driver. Chances were
good, too, that the horse would have
his way.
Any time of year the horse might
get tired and decide to take rest
for instance, in large pond in the
road where the water was hub-deep.
What could the driver do but wait
patiently till the horse was ready
to move on?
