COLUMBIA GRADERS, OTHER
FISHERMEN ENJOY NEW INCOME
ATTRIBUTED TO BUGGS ISLAND
How a Project Designed TO Produce Electricity
and Control Floods so Miles Away May Make
For New Prosperity For Fishermen is Now Evil
dent in AlbemarIe Sound

Some SO or more fishermen in
the Columbia area are enjoying
new prosperity because of the first
invasion of blue crabs in the upper
Albemarle Sound, and fishermen
from distance of 60 miles away
are making big catches III new
waters at the head of Albemarle
Sound near the Roanoke and
Cashie Rivers.
The reason for this new invasion
of fish is attributed to the Buggs
ISLAND dam well up the Roanoke
River, $50 miles away, and thereby
hangs quite story. The Buggs
Island dam was created to control
floods on the Roanoke, principally
to benefit farmers, and to create
cheap electric power.
The dam holds back the water,
and doesn't let it spill out all at
once in flood seasons, but it drops
over gradually, and the fresh wa
ter flows down river on the top
level, while the heavy salt water
from the ocean flows up river on
the bottom level.

large an invasion of crabs up the
sound to Edenton, as to make
catching them profitable.
More than SO men in the Column
bia vicinity are now engaged in
grabbing and they earn up to $50
a day. One man made a catch of
1000 pounds of crabs IN a morn
ing this week, which sold at the
rate of three cents a pound. Crab
bers go out early in the morning,
and come in and sell out before
noon. North Carolina crabs are in
great demand among buyers from
Virginia and Maryland. For sew
eral years it has been an important
industry in Manns Harbor, Wan
cheese and many other points to the
south. But they were not in suffi-
cient number to be profitable in
Albemarle Sound before recently.
Fishermen at Manns Harbor
have been saying for sometime
that that their fishing for striped
bass, founders, white perch, and
some other varieties of fish which
alternate between salt, fresh, and
brackish waters as a matter of
habit, has been rapidly growing
less profitable, they having noted

FIRE EARLY THURSDAY
CAUSES MINOR DAMAGE
AT ARLINGTON HOTEL

A fire at the Arlington Hotel at
Mays Head early Thursday morn
ing was quickly extinguished and
only minor damage was sustained.
The fire, in a basement room
used for the storage of trash and
garbage, was discovered at 3:45
am. when Thelma Bowen, a hotel
employee sleeping in a nearby
room, awakened and smelled
smoke.
The blaze was quickly exiting
uished with a garden hose and a
couple of fire extinguishers. The
Manteo fire department was sum-
moned, but the blaze was out by
the time the fire truck arrived.
Dewey Hayman, operator Of the
Arlington, said that the damage
was mostly confined to a small
area of the shingles covering the
outer wall. Mr.. Hayman said that
the fire sprang up suddenly, as
Norwood Davis, night man at the
desk, passed by the room at 8
o'clock to punch a watchclock and
there was no sign of fire at that
time.

OFFER FOR FREE
MOST VALUABLE
LAND IN TYRRELL
Columbia Merchants Wish to Re-
tain U. S. 81 Down It's Main
Street and Offer Seven
Feet.

Believe or not, some strips of
the highest priced of all land in
Tyrrell County is being offered
free, provided the State Highway
Commission will take it, and keep
U. S. GA where it is, right down
the middle of the towns main
street, in Columbia. The business
men have offered a seven foot
strip on each side of the street,
giving permission to shear off
seven feet from the fronts of their
buildings, if the state will only
let the road alone.
Forecasting a tremendous boom
in traffic when the Croatan
Sound bridge is completed, the
Highway Commission sometime
ago made plans for building a
new bridge, and a new bypass
south of Columbia, fearing that the
narrow street of the town would
be bottleneck to slow up traffic.
Completion of the bridge is ex-
pected to be followed by greatly in
creased ferry service over Alliga-
tor River, all of which observers
say, will only make for so great
a congestion of traffic as to de-
mand a bridge at this point.

FOURTH CRAFT FOR
INLET FERRY is
JUST RECEIVED

The State Highway and Public
Works Commission has received a
fourth Navy craft for conversion
into a ferry boat for the Oregon
Inlet run, Ferry Supt. John Wilson
said this week. The boat is now
located in Norfolk, and was OBJ
tanned some months ago from the
Navy Department, which loaned"
it to the National Park Service for
use on this run.
The boat had to be stripped
down by the Navy, and it will now
go to Norfolk shipyard for con-
version to ferry uses. 1t is the
fourth craft of the kind furnished
this run by the Navy. Three other
boats of the same type are used
on Croatan Sound and, Alligator
River.
The boats now at Oregon Inlet
are the Governor Umstead, Con-
rad Wirth and Lindsay Warren.
The boats used at the Dare
Mainland are the Governor Cherry,

UnsueeessfulIY For More
t&, Pay ,(.

Elmo Moore, a Negro ,aborer
employed on the Crodtan Sound
bridge, about as years old, died
when he fell is feet to the waters
of Croatan Sound last Friday. He
had been pushing q small truck
which jumped off the track, when
he lost his balance and fell. Work
ers below grabbed him after he
reached the water, but ne either
suffered a heart attack or was in
jured in the fall. Moore had lived
in the Manteo area most Of the
time since the war.
Early this week, some 25 Hyde
County Negro laborers employed
by the t. A. Loving company,
bridge contractor, decided to
strike for more pay. Some think
the strike was precipitated by their
fear of working over the water,
after the death of Moore. They
returned to work after two days
without any increase in pay. Com
pany officials said they were pay
ing better than the general local
wage for this class Of work, and
their contract having been based
on such prices, would not justify
the increase asked. s
