MACS HEAD c. of c.
TALKS MOSQUITO,
MEMORIAL LIGHT
Elizabeth City Night Wednes-
day With Speaker; Spray
ing, Lighting Talked

Wednesday night was Eliza
beth City night at the Mays Head
Chamber of Commerce meeting.
Forrest Jones, speaker, talked
about the financing of a chamber
of commerce as an investment
rather than a contribution.
Other Elizabeth City people
present, who are property own
ers on the beaches, were: Wayne
Moore, Miles Clark, Wade Mari,
c. Alden Baker, Jack Jennette,
and Charles Hollowell.
Mrs. Lucille Purser, chairman
of the advertising committee,
gave a report on plans for the
coming year, and also gave tri-
butte to the Dare County Tourist
Bureau and Aycock Brown. The
Tourist Bureau does work which
the Chamber of Commerce can't
do, she said. Aycock Brown ex-
planned the $4,000 budget for
the. year.
Jesse Outlaw, a cropduster who
has just moved to Manteo, talked
about spraying the beaches with
DOT and an oil base, which
would probably last all season
and not wash away after rain
which it has done in the past.
The busting would cost ST per
acre, and the dust about Is cents
per acre, he said. w. A. Williams
is chairman of the mosquito con-
troll committee.
Letters were read from Senator
Hoey, Congressman Bonner, and
Conrad Wirth concerning the
year round lighting of the Wright
Memorial. There is no money ap-
propriated at present for this pur-
pose, but they all have promised
to work on the project and get
it through by next year.

MOUSE LURE TAKES BASS

A top-water mouse lure was
used successfully for taking large
mouth bass from the waters of
Kitty Hawk Bay during the past
week by family of Englewood,
N. j., anglers spending spring
vacation. Previously, silver spoon
and pork-rind lures had been
used for catching these Mays
Head fresh water species in the
waters of nearby Colington Is
land or Kitty Hawk Bay.
The Engelwood family of fish
ermen, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Cross and
their children, Nancy and Jack,
were fishing with Capt. Lee
Perry when they tried out their
mouse lure. Although fresh water
fishes have been taking live bait
for the past several weeks, the
large mouth bass are just begin
ming to show an interest in ar
tificial lures and catches are in
creasing from day to day.

OCRACOKE PART
SEA LEVEL C. OF c.
PROMOTION PLAN
Ocracoke To Be Included In
Plan To Promote Develop
ment of Lower Banks

Notwithstanding to a letter
received here by R. S. Wahab and
posted publicly, Ocracoke will be
benefited immeasurably by the
newly organized Sea Level Cham
Der of Commerce, which will in
clude coastal communities from
Beaufort to and including Ocra-
coke. Joe Dubois, formerly with
the Chamber of Commerce of More
head City, is manager of the Sea
Level Chamber of Commerce and
for the present will have his office
and headquarters at Sea Level Inn.
According to the plans this office
will serve as clearing house for
all of the coastal communities.
One of the first detectives would
be the building of a hard surface
highway down Ocracoke Island so
as to make closer connection be-
tween Hatteras and Atlantic. A
clever cartoon recently published
in the Carteret County News Times
depicted the fact that the North
Carolina beaches are more isolated
to the tourist than those of South
Carolina and Georgia, and that
when an autoist reached Atlantic
he is 300 miles by paved road from
Hatteras, and vice versa.
In addition to transportation
projects, the Community Chamber
of Commerce group would cooper
ate in national advertising, in san
itation projects, and in community
betterment in general.
Towns included in the Sea Level
group are Ocracoke, Atlantic, &C.
dar Island, Davis, Harkers Island,
Smyrna, Stacy, Williston, Otway,
Gloucester, Straits, Betty and
Beaufort. Several people from
Ocracoke attended meeting Tues
day at Sea Level to hear more
about the proposed cooperative
venture.

BODIE ISLAND c. G.
TO BE ALTERED FOR
PARK HEADQUARTERS

Old Bodie Island Coast Guard
station between Mays Head and
Oregon Inlet will soon become the
administration building of Cape
Hatteras National Seashore Recre-
ational Area, it was announced by
Allen Hanks, recently appointed
superintendent of this new and
first seaside unit of the National
Park System.
Already the old station building,
inactive as a Coast Guard unit
since World War II, is undergoing
conversion.
At the present time Hanks, who
came here from Everglades Ma
tional Park to assume his super
intendency duties on March 1, is
making his temporary headquar-
tiers in the Governor White cottage
at Fort Raleigh.
In addition to converting the
station building into modern adj
ministration building, plans call
for entrance highways and a park
ing area from nearby Nag Head
Hatteras highway to the building.
The ocean beach in the area is
expected to be converted into a
public bathing area during the
coming summer. AS this phase of
the seashore's development is
made, there would be lifeguards
assisting park rangers in operation
of the area, it was stated

SEA TROUT BITING

First sea trout of the season
were landed on the week end by
anglers fishing in the waters of
Roanoke Sound near the Little"
Bridge between Mays Head and
Roanoke Island. Only few were
landed, but those taken were
weighed in at from three to four
pounds each.
Anglers fishing for sea trout at
the Little Bridge use various
types of lures to attract the fish.
In addition to trout occasional
striped bass are landed from
these waters during the mid
spring fishing season at the
Little Bridge.

FOUR VEHICLES
INVOLVED IN
FOGGY ACCIDENT

A low-lying fog early Tues
day morning caused a Daniels
Building Supply truck to side
swipe the Virginia Dare Trans
portation Co. bus headed south
toward Wanchese on the 6 am.
schedule. The truck, headed
north, driven by Lloyd Sander
lin of Wanchese, had its wheels
left of the center line, and the
bus, headed south, driven by Bud
Dudley of Manteo, was side
swiped about a mile north of the
village of Wanchese.
The bus took off at an angle
through the marsh for about 25
yards after dudley lost control.
Neither vehicle upset. There
were two passengers on the bus,
and neither was hurt.
Marvin Daniels, Wanchese taxi
driver, was following along back
of the bus, saw the accident and
stopped. Then Ernest Walker,
driving state pickup truck and
following behind Daniels, ran
into the back of the taxi. Neither
vehicle was damaged badly.
Damage to the bus was esti-
mated around $500.
Sanderlin was charged with
having his wheels left of the cen
ter line. Patrolman R. c. Holt of
Manteo investigated the accident,
