CHANNEL BASS REPORTED
IN SURF AT HATTERAS

Hatteras.-Channel bass, scarce
for the past several weeks, have
been showing up again in large
numbers, especially in the surf at
Hatteras, it was stated today by
Scotty Gibson, owner-manager of
Atlantic View Hotel. Several fish
of this species have been caught
during the past week and one, 20
FOUNDER, was landed by Gibson's
daughter, Sheila.
After the Spring run of channel
bass is over, usually about June l,
the copper beauties are scarce for
several weeks. Then they begin
showing up again in the surf al
Hatteras Inlet or near the Cape
region and abreast of Avon and
Waves.
1t was in early July last year
that 621a pound channel bass
was landed by Norman DUDLEY in
the surf of Hatteras, Inlet. His big
fish became the national record
for this species during 1854.

SIDEWALK ART EXHIBIT
TO BE HELD IN MANTEO

The first sidewalk art exhibit
ever to be presented in Manteo,
which attracts many artists each
year, will be held at the Old Tran
quill House Friday, July 80.
Paintings will be exhibited on
the front lawn of the historic old
house which served as hosiery
that was visited by many out
standing persons. People interest
ed in art and painting are urged
to see the exhibit, as it will give
an idea of what students of the
James w. Pace summer school of
art here have been doing. Some
OF the paintings will be offered
for sale.
Pace stated that water-color
painting classes he has conducted
this summer have attracted some
80 or more art students, from long
distances. Pace is native North
Carolinian who now owns a school
of design in Chirago.

ALL FISHING TRIPS ARE
NOT FUN; WATCH GAS TANK

Four young Belhaven men have
learned the hard way that if you
don't watch your gas tank, a much
anticipated fishing trip may not
be any fun at all, and they pass
along some advice to their friends.
Capt. Howard Voliva and three
companions bound for Swan
Quarter on a fishing trip Sunday
morning, ran out of gas about
halfway down. They left at eight
o'clock, and finally made land at
Germantown in Hyde County about
p. m. and how they got there is
| the sad part of the story. In the
boat also were Clifton Jones,
Charles Powell and Ralph Sawyer.
They discovered they had also for
gotten to put in the oars. Their
boat drifted sufficiently close to
the Hyde County shore line to en-
able them by getting overheard, to
push it along whenever their feet
could hit bottom. When the boat
passed over water too deep, they
just hung on the stern. They took
turns at this means of developing
horsepower, and estimate they
pushed the boat ten miles. They
enlivened their outing by comfort
ing each other with outcries fon
ice water, steak and fried chicken.
No record has been made of how
much they ate when they made
land. They soaked in the water
until their skin was wrinkled like
a dish of fried chitlins, and ex-
posed portions turned like a boiled
crab and peeled like a sycamore
next day.

Clocks may be all around him, but
he must carry a nice watch be-
cause he never had one when he
was a child, and as one editorial
states, he carries keys as symbol

prove that he has worldly possess
sions in his care.
As he grows older, he must keep
small change for tips and parking
meters and must carry glasses if
he is to read the printed word.
Little boys may carry in their
pockets such things as pieces of
string, pieces of rock that they are
convinced contains gold and a

EiAYMAN REUNION AT
MAINS HBR. SUCCESSFUL

Again, the Hayman reunion of
North Carolina had a delightful
day. at Manns Harbor Sunday, July
gath. The program began with the
eleven o'clock hour with worship
and sermon by Rev. L. d. Hayman,
the retiring President. Mr.. Hay
man preached on the subject
Building Life on the Greatness OF
God", emphasizing the cultivation
of a great faith, great courage,
a great devotion to all good
causes, and a great hope which
outshines all hindrances and holds
us to the forward look of eternity
with God. The dinner hour-was
splendid, and with long table full
of all good things, plenty of cold,
soft drinks free, and a barrel OF
ice water, made the lunch hour a
big occasion. After two hours OF
fellowship, friendly greetings, the
members of the reunion assembled
in the Methodist Church for the
final business session. The name
of the gathering was changed
from Hayman clan to The, Hayman
Reunion of North Carolina. The
committee on nominations made re-
port and the following were
nominated and elected. Ira Spen-
Ger, Jr., President; Carrie Hayman
Penn, Vice President; Inez Gibbs,
Recording Secretary; Oma Pearl
Daniels, Treasurer; L. D. Hayman,
Executive Secretary. On invitation
from ]. D. Hayman, Jr. of Wan
cheese, the reunion voted to hold its
next annual gathering at Wan
cheese, the date being July %, 1856
unless otherwise announced in
due time. Several features in
special music, memorial service,
and talks by different members,
made the day a delightful one.
And will serve to welcome an in
vitation back to MAINS Harbor in
due time.

MANY THOUSAND OF
HYDE COUNTY ACRES
IN CATTLE PROJECT

For several weeks giant cattle
and numbering project has been
in the making in Hyde County
where j. d. Parker of Eagle
Springs, N. c. has optioned thou
sands Of acres of the Roper Lum-
Der Company holdings which ex-
tend between Alligator and Soup
pernong Lakes.
Mr.. Parker, who is a well-known
timberman and cattle raiser in his
home locality, which is near Can
dor, N. c. seems to be well-ground-
ed in this contemplated business,
and believes farming, timbering
and stock raising combined will
make for profit on this large area,
the cost of the land being estimated
locally at about one million dollars,
Adjacent to the Parker holdings
is the Sel-Mal Farm area near
PIONEER in Hyde County, which
were purchased last year by the
celebrated Murchison interests of
Texas.
From time immemorial the maps
have carried an Alligator Lake in
Hyde County. Only recently has
this lake been called New Lake
the result of a real estate develop
ment whose promoters coined the
name, contending that prospective
buyers in Ohio or other distant
states would shy away from the
area for fear it contained alliga-
tors. New Lake is a misnomer, al
though a small and fast vanishing
community nearby is now known
by that name.

A MANS POCKETS CARRY
MANY NECESSARY ITEMS
By CARLTON MORRIS
Editor. Gates County Index


There are many stories of the
things little boys carry in their
pockets, but never a line about the
things men carry in theirs. One
story states that lady in New
York dropped her pocketbook on
a crowded street and among hum
dreds of items out rolled a pound
of beefsteak. 1t is well established
that women use their pocketbooks
for a catch-all and little boys
carry around many things in their
pockets that only they can find
a use for, but when these little
boys grow up, they really must
carry their pockets full to survive.
For instance, as man grows
older, his pockets may contain
such things as the same pocket
knife that he carried as a kid,
pocketbook often without money, a
watch, keys to many locks, a
handkerchief and some small
change, to say nothing of glasses,
digestive aids and possibly two or
three types of medicine, pencils,
a comb and matches or lighter,
pipe, tobacco and cigarettes, and a
letter for his wife that he forgot
to mail.
Each of these items is very nee
essary to the average man. The
knife he keeps in an effort to cling
to his boyhood and to trim his
fingernails. The pocketbook, he
