OCEAN PIERS PRODUCE
SPOTS AND TROUT ON
SURF OF DARE BEACHES

Kitty Hawk-Despite unfavor-
able weather, fishing from the
new ocean pier here at Kitty
Hawk was producing bushels of
spots, plenty of trout and a
variety of other surf feeding
species. 1t was the same story
at the other two ocean piers
down in the Mays Head area.
Warren Jennette, operator of
Jennette's Pier in lower Mays
Head predicted better fishing
during early August than anglers
had experienced on the piers
during late July. He based his
opinion on the tides.
Jennette's Pier has entertained
thousands of anglers this year
and in addition to the small va
rieties landed, there were reports
of hooking tarpon and king
mackerel, but neither species
had been taken to date. A few
small channel bass or puppy
drum have been landed.
Fishing news from the Mays
Head pier about midway be-
tween Kitty Hawk and lower
Mays Head was about the same
as at the new ocean pier here at
Southern Shores and Kitty
Hawk Beach and the Jennette
enterprise.

BALL PARK PROJECT
WILL BE READY SOON
FOR NIGHT FOOTBALL

A Manteo ball park project
started in casual conversation
in a down town filling station
last September has begun to take
form and what was just an idea
last fall will be a lighted ball
park for football games this year.
Spanked by the efforts of Nc
Coy Tillett, the original group
of six men, minus a few who
have dropped out and plus a few
who have joined, has almost
completed the $4,000 job it set
out last fall to do. The park near
the Manteo water tower has been
leveled and erased and lights
have been erected. When the
lights are connected within few
weeks the original project will
be complete.
Manteo high school and pro-
fessional baseball teams have
already used the field for day
games and, according to Tillett,
the field will be lighted in time
for evening football games.
The six man group which
adopted the project included Nc
Coy Tillett, Robert Balance,
John H. Long, Donnie Irvine,
Elworth Peele and Jack Wilson.
Tillett has been managing the
project with John Long as sec
rotary and treasurer.
After numerous loads of sand
proved futile in leveling the high
school field it was abandoned.
The present park is on land be-
longing to the city.
Mr.. Tillett leveled the field
and planted grass last winter. He
continues to do maintenance
work at his own expense. Poles
and lights costing a total of
$1152 were erected by Ray
Lewis with the aid of baseball
team members this spring. AS
soon as transformers arrive and
wiring is done the lights will be
ready for night games. Free
electrical service has been offer
ed by Billy Cox.
'This project will mean a lot
to Manteo," says Robert Bal
lance, original committe mem
Der. "Our baseball team will
probably join the Albemarle
League with such teams as Col
rain, Hertord, Elizabeth City
and Edenton next year. The
school teams will be able to play
