OF WIFE
ENDS DARE OUTING
FOR GREAT ARTIST
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Russell of
Waynesboro. Virginia Re-
+urn Home Wednesday
From Ocean House

One of the worlds great artists
chose the Ocean Hotel motel at
Mays Head for the vacation of
himself and wife, but was obliged
to cut the vacation short Wednes-
day, due to the wife's illness. Mrs.
Lao Stebbin Russell was taken
home in Twiford's ambulance, ac-
companied by Miss Dorothy Drink
water.
The husband, Walter Russell,
now "a years old is distinguished
as artist, author, sculptor and
scientist. The coupl owns that
fabulous marble palace known as
Swannanoa, famed show-place IN
the Blue Ridge, near Waynesboro,
Va, and which they bought several
years ago and converted into a
mystic religious shrine. Here the
Russells teach classes in philos-
ophy, natural science and univ,:l-
sal law.
On the grounds of this magnifi-
cent home is situated the 30-foot
high statue of Christ of the Blue
Ridge. 1t is one of many that Prof.
Russell has designed. He was
sculptor of the Mark Twain Memo
rial at Hannibal, Mo-, the John
Phillip Sousa Memorial in Wash
ington, D. c., the Franklin Roose-
welt statue at Hyde Park, N. Y.
He painted many famous people IN
Europe and America, he was a
leading magazine illustrator dur
ing and since the Spanish Ameri-
can war, and is the author of sew
eral noted novels, as well as books
on scientific subjects.
Miss Drinkwater recalls her de-
parture from the Russell home
Wednesday night. His guests are
not told goodbye, but he plays
beautiful music on an organ while
they wend their way down the
mountain, and it comes to them
softly by a sound system conceal
ed in the trees and fades away
when they reach the outet gate
whose click actuates an electronic
control.

FIRE BUGS BUSY,
SET BRIDGE AFIRE
ON DARE MAINLAND
Attempts TO Set Two Fires On
Property Of West Virginia
Pulp & Paper Company

On Tuesday of this week, fire
was set with intent to destroy a
bridge on one of the roads built
by West Virginia Pulp & Paper
Company through their property
near Stumpy Point. John A. Twid-
dy, an employee of the company,
discovered the fire and by toting
water in his dinner pail, was able
to extinguish it before much dam
age was done.
Mr.. Twiddy also discovered in
another place burning ball of
oil soaked waste, apparently put
out with intent to start a forest
fire. Due to the wet nature of the
land at this time, it appears that
some person of low mentality must
be the fire bug, as there is little
likelihood of developing fire
while the area is So wet.
1t is the opinion of bystanders
that the fires were set by some
person who wanted employment
with the timber company. The i'm
preston is abroad on the Dare
mainland, that the company will
employ any person suspected of
setting fires in order to keep on
his good side. Many people believe
the company had done just this in
several instances, figuring it to be
the least expensive method of
fire control. However, the question
is, will it bring in more people of
the same ilk seeking jobs? Some
say it has already done so.

FISHING IN
MAINS HARBOR Is
GOOD AFTER STORM
Good Catches Report IN Croatan
Sound and East Lake Region
During Week End; Sport
At Nev Bridge

Some fishing fans got the idea
that fishing would be poor after
the storm. They read in the papers
that hurricanes killed lot of fish.
Hurricane tides do cause lot of
fish to die because of leaving them
stranded when the tide goes out.
But recent reports show that re-
cent fishing has been best in many
months in the East Lake and
Manns Harbor area since the last
hurricane.
On Sunday, the 10Th Earl Grant
of LaGr2nge made fine catch of
bass, some of them weighing 6h
pounds each.
Marvin Harrell and Leroy Bar
nell caught so gray trout, 11a to 2
Id. weight in Croatan Sound.
These are very sporty fish.
George Carpenter and party of
Tarboro caught 800 white perch in
South Lake. Payton Odom and a
Mr.. Norris of Erwin caught SO
trout in Croatan Sound and $50
white perch in South Lake.
These parties stopped at w. S.
Whites Croatan Motel at Manns
Harbor. Many other parties whose
names have not been furnished,
made equally good catches in the
vicinity.
Much good sport with hook and
line has continued at the Croatan
Sound bridge ever since the storm.

Among the many events that are
scheduled next week end at Ro-
danthe, none are expected to have
greater appeal than the Memorial
Service at the Rodanthe Church
which is to be highlighted with a
sermon by Capt. Roy E. Bishop,
USN, Chaplain of the Atlantic
Fleet, out of the Naval Base in
Norfolk, and concluded by a solo
sung by Robert Midget of Manteo.
This service will be held in Fair
haven Methodist Church, Rodanthe,
of which Rev. A. G. Tyson is pas
tor.
Capt. Bishop has quite diversi-
fled record in the service.
A native of Dinwiddie County,
Virginia, Chaplain Bishop grad
uated from Sunnyside High School
in 1926. He received his. Bachelor
of Arts Degree from Randolph
Macon College in 1880 and his
Bachelor of Divinity Degree from
Union Theological Seminary at
Richmond, Virginia, three years
later. He was awarded the degree
of Doctor of Divinity by Randolph
Macon College in June of 1850. Be-
fore entering the Navy Chaplain
Corps in 1896, Chaplain Bishop
was minister of the Methodist
Church at Amherst, Virginia.
Before the war he served as
Chaplain of the USS Richmond, the
USS Memphis and the USS Mis-
sissippi. Subsequently, he was as
signed for two years to the U. S.
Naval Air Station, Pensacola,
Florida. His wartime service was
at the U. S. Naval Station Tutila,
American Samoa, the Naval Train
ing School for Chaplains, the Col
lege of William and Mary, Will
liamsburg, Virginia and on board
the USS Alaska operating in
Pacific waters.
For this duty he holds the China
Service Medal, American Defense
Medal, Navy Occupation Medal, as
well as the World War II Victory
Medal, and is entitled to wear the
Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Ribbon
with three battle stars, the Phillip
pine Liberation Campaign Ribbon,
the American Theatre Ribbon and
the National Defense Service Rib
bon.
Following the close of the war,
Chaplain Bishop was assigned to
the Naval Academy in December
1915. He was subsequently named
Senior Chaplain of the Academy
and continued to serve in this
capacity until June of 1850.
Chaplain Bishop was assigned to
the USS Coral Sea in June of 1850
and for the next fourteen months,
was senior Chaplain on this large
aircraft carrier operating with the
Sixth Fleet in Mediterranean
waters.
In September 1851, he was as
signed to the Staff of the Chief of
Naval Air Training with Head
quarters at the U. S. Naval Air

SPORTSFlSHING ON
UPGRADE IN DARE

Following two or three weeks of
choppy seas and rough weather
generally, sportsfishing in Dare
waters was finally on the upgrade
as August ended and September
began.
1t was not until this week that
Gulf Stream anglers could return
to blue water and while catches
have not been large, a few land
ings were above par. The third
sailfish of season to be taken off
Oregon Inlet was landed during
the past week by Bill Perkins of
Charlottesville.
Since then dolphin and false al
bacore catches have been fair with
few large specimens reported,
but none as large as those taken
earlier in the season before the
storms of August began harrass-
ing fishermen in this sector.
Best catch reported this week
was a so pound wahoo. 1t was
caught by Charles A. Abel Of
Oaklyn, N. j., on Wednesday. Abel
was trolling from the cruiser
Phyllis Mae, skippered by Capt.
Joe Berry, which berths at Dykes
Fishing Center, when the big
wahoo was caught. Billy Brown,
his 14-year old mate, who was
shorter than the fish was long,
GATED the wahoo and brought it
aboard after Abel had played the
fish alongside the cruisers cock
pit.
Warren Gallop of Oregon Inlet
Fishing Center, reported fair
catches of dolphin and false alba
core and a few amberjack. He pre-
dicted that unless there was a sud-
den change in the weather that
sailfish would be taken before the
week end. "This is sailfish
weather." he said.
Mack Etheridge of Mack's Fish
ing Center at Wanchese reported
several catches of bottom varieties
being caught at this time by party
boats operating from there. Trout
and founder seemed to be the most
numerous.
From Hatteras waters Capt. Ed
gar Styron of the Blue Marlin
docks stated that as offshore wa
tiers Gained down this week
anglers going to the Gulf Stream
were bringing in fair catches of
dolphin and small tuna. "The tuna
are Scholastic bluefins, ranging to
Is pounds each," he said.
DIR. j. C. Overbey, only person
to land a blue marlin in Hatteras
waters since the recent storms,
stated this week in Norfolk that
he planned a return trip there on
September 3 and would remain
until September IL. The blue mar
lin he landed two weeks ago
scaled at 270 pounds. 1t was his
seventh of this species landed off
Hatteras> during the past three
years.
Willie Newsome of Sportsman's
Headquarters in Hatteras reported
