CHANNEL BASS FISHING
is OFF TO LATE START

Channel bass fishing with rod
and reel was getting off to late
start on the Dare coast this week.
A few catches had been reported
from the surf in the Hatteras area
but generally the fishing had been
very spotty following so much I'M
settled weather in March.
An outstanding catch of Satur-
day was made by Joe Wells OF
Washington, D. c., who landed the
first of the season to be taken with
a spinning rig. He was casting at
the Point of Beach on Hatteras
Inlet using mullet for bait when
his fish, a 42-pounder, struck the
bait, was hooked and brought to
the beach.
Four days later A. P. Conover
of Concord, N. c., fishing the surf
between the lighthouse and Point
of Hatteras hooked and landed a
SO FOUNDER, according to reports
from Hatteras Island. Another re-
port from the Island indicated that
several yearling channel bass were
also landed after Conover beached
his 36-pounder.

OUTDOOR WRITER'S
FISH DARE WATERS

Outdoor writers from several
states came early this week to
match their skill against fresh and
salt water fishes of Dare coast
waters, and to gather material for
their columns or the magazines
which they represent.
On Monday two large mouth
bass were reeled in from Colington
Island waters by Woodrow Price,
outdoor editor of News and Observ-
err. A northeaster made it impossi-
BILE, on Monday, to fish in the In
let and surfcasters scattered along
the beach from Mays Head to Hat
teras Inlet had negative results.
On Tuesday prospects looked
better for the fishing writers as
many again went to the surf north
and south of Oregon Inlet and
some tried it again from boats in
Oregon Inlet.
Included in the group were: Hal
Lyman, publisher, Salt Water
Sportsman, Boston; Paul Harmon,
free lance outdoor writer of Wash

FIVE AUTOS GO
BERSERK ON THE
ROANOKE BRIDGE
Five Cars Travelling Same
Direction Smash Togeth-
er Saturday Night

Five cars involved in two separ-
ate accidents almost piled up into
one mass of twisted metal on the
Roanoke Sound bridge Saturday
night around 9 o'clock. Two cars
are estimated to be a total loss,
one is damaged to the extent of
$1,000, and damage to the others is
negligible.
Edgar Midget of Manteo, who
was driving a 1888 Packard con-
vertible east across the bridge,
came to stop when he approach
ed a truck driven by Sam Tillett,
because considerable fog in the
area at the time made visibility
bad. Ottley W. Austin of Kitty
Hawk, driving a new 1854 Chevro-
let east behind Midget, approached
the stopped vehicle, apparently too
fast, and because of the bad WISH
bility was not able to stop in time
to avoid collision, and the side of
Austin's car rammed the left rear
fender of Midgetts' car, knocking
them both crossways in the bridge.
The truck had stopped.
Eddie Brown, driving a station
wagon belonging to the Ell Gay
Tourist Court at Mays Head, came
up behind the wreck and stopped in
time to avoid collision. But, then,
Roswell Sanderlin of Manteo, driv-
ing a 1851 Ford convertible, came
behind Browns vehicle and just
slightly tapped it in the bumper,
avoiding chaos.
At this time Midget and Austin
were trying to get their cars off
the bridge. And while this was GO
ing on, Jackie Shannon of Manteo,
in 1949 Ford, plowed into the rear
end of Sanderlins' Ford, smashing
them together and humping up
against Mr.. Browns station wagon.
The cars were locked together, and
the wrecker later had difficulty get
ting them apart.
Miracuously no one was injured
seriously. Mr.. Shannon suffered a
few bruises.
Shannon's car and Sanderlin's
car was estimated at a total loss.
Austins' car was estimated at ST.
900 damages, Sanderlin and Shan
non had insurance, but Austin did
not.
All cars involved were travelling
in the same direction
The only charges preferred so
far have been against Shannon, for
reckless driving.
Patrolman Wise of Currituck in
vestigated the accident.
Mr.. Sanderlin had just gotten
his car out of the garage the day
before from damage of the same
nature-being rammed in the rear.

ANGLERS FINALLY GET
BREAK ALONG DARE COAST

Anglers who have been fouled
up by vexing weather for several
weeks got breaks late last week as
a variety of fishes began taking
lures or bait at various places
along the coast of Dare.
In the Manteo-Nags Head area
sea trout and stripers were be-
ginning to take lures. Several
catches of striped bass have been
reported by George Dykstra's
fishing center at Mays Head bridge
where anglers trolling nearby had
brought in several stripers, weigh
ing up to five pounds each.
At the Little Bridge between
Mays Head and Manteo anglers
were catching also a number of
sea trout.
Fresh water angling in the Col
ington Island and Kitty Hawk Bay
region has been fair, especially for
thos ing artificial lures. A sur
face "mouse lure" proved product
i've for a group of D. G. anglers

MANTEO SENIORS TO
PRESENT ANNUAL PLAY

The Senior Glass of Manteo
High School will present their an
nual Senior play April 80 at 500
The play, "Going on Seventeen,
pm. in the school auditorium, with
admission 75e and SOC.
is delightful, scintillating come
dy which comes from the pen of
Hilda Manning. The story revolves
around a typical family with Mer-
riest Simpson portraying Buddie
Carhart, a sixteen-year-old youth
who becomes involved in the fam
lily problems. Elsa, the maid, is
wonderfully characterized by Edna
Bruce Dowdy. Mr.. Carhart be-
comes involved in a money shor-
tage at his bank and is comforted
by Pat Baum, his quick, nervous
and futtery wife.
Buddy fights and fuses like any
other brother or sister, with his
older sister Florence, played by
Annie Kee. But he falls flat wher
he meets Lillums, Florence's CIR
friends little sister. Lillums flirt.
and flutters her eyes and causes g
small tornado in Harrisville. The
play, witty and charming, accurate.
ly reflects the lives of the younger
generation and all their trials anG
tribulations.

HIS GRADUATES MAY
APPLY SCHOLARSHIP

"It is hoped that at least one
Dare County high school graduate
will win one of the new scholar
ships to State College," said Billy
Harrington this week, county
chairman of the scholarship COM
mittee,. The scholarship is known
as "Talent For Service" and is
being sponsored by North Carolina
indutries.
The scholarships, for $500 and
81 900, are awarded on the basis of
scholarship, character, leadership,
and need, and are being granted to
help provide the state with trained
leaders, of which there is now a
shortage.
The demand for technically
trained persons has far out-dis-
tanced the supply, it has been
stated by the scholarship commit
tee. And less than one-third of
North Cardinals high-rankine
high school graduates attend col
lege, so this will aid some in be-
coming future leaders in agricul.
ture. industry and business.
The scholarships are renewable
for four years upon the applicant:

| ing information about the scholar
shin is requested to get in touch
with Mr.. Harrington in Mantee.
