The Governor said the Croatan
Bridge is not being built for Dare
County, but is needed, and has
long been needed, for the whole
state. He considers it a fine in
vestment for North Carolina, and
he also anticipates the demands
of traffic will force the building
of a bridge across Oregon Inlet
in short time.
In anticipation of next season,
he hopes to have two more docks
built at the Inlet to permit the
use of more ferries.

WATERFRONT

Manteo should be able to take
advantage of the yacht trade.
Only few yachts tie up in
Manteo every summer There are
no facilities for them and yachts
men have to climb over each
others boats and pick their way
across rotting piers and up dark
alleyways to get into Manteo.
With these conditions meeting
them they usually bypass the
town, thereby cutting out con-
siderable source of revenue for
Manteo.
Figures of the North Carolina
and National Conservation De-
velopment bureaus show that for
each "a hours a yacht is in har-
Dor $50 is spent for food, fuel,
entertainment, etc. Mr.. Davis
figures that at least 10 yachts
could be counted on to tie up
every night.
Yacht Club cruises of 40 or
more boats leave ports like
Morehead City and Norfolk
throughout the summer and
would spend time in Manteo, he
says.
Several projects for diking the
water front have fallen through
in the past because of their ex-
pense. This is a practical plan" !,
says Mr.. Davis, that Manteo
could accomplish this winter. It
could be a community project,
backed by the town, civic clubs
and merchants.
IF we can all work together,
he continues, what is an eye
sore today can be a valuable
asset to Manteo next summer"

WAHOO ADD NEW SPORT
FOR DARE COAST ANGLERS

Hatteras-Wahoo, one of the
streamlined versions of the
mackerel family, have been add
ing thrilling sport to the pisca-
torial minded anglers in waters
off Hatteras and Mays Head dur
ing the past several days. Dozens
of these fast swimming and hard
fighting fish have been landed
by anglers, who usually were
trolling for something else, US
ually amberjack or dolphin.
Largest wahoos taken during
the past week averaged about 80
pounds each. Several smaller in
size were boated, but few if any
larger than 80 pounds were
taken. In addition to wahoo,
Gulf Stream fishermen along the
coast of Dare County out of Hat
teras and Oregon Inlets have
been catching plenty of amber
jack and dolphin.
Unless there should be an alb
normal change in weather, pros
poets for the remainder of Au-
gust and well into September
should be better than average
for Gulf Stream fishing off the
Dare Coast and especially for
billfishes which have been blitz-
ing the waters heavily during
the past several days.

the Russian newspaper has a cir
culation of ten thousand. The
local radio station produces two

But, there are no longer any
theaters which use the Yiddish
language; and there are no Yid-
dish schools.
The local officials told Mr..
Salisbury, that the Jewish youth
do not make even attempts to
read Yiddish. This is quite aston
ishing, for of the 100000 people
in BRO Bidzhan, indicated by the
last census taken, almost half of
the people are Jews. In the fac
tories which Mr.. Salisbury visited,
half of the workers were Jewish.
From this, we gather, that the
Jewish population must be APP
proximately 100000.
Mr.. Salisbury was escorted
wherever he went, and the infor-
nation he gathered was received
in the presence of his escorts.
Therefore, his statistics must be
somewhat exaggerated

However, of all the books, new
ones can not be found. This con-

dead or in prison.
