MANTEO BOY STAYS A
MIGHTY MALLARD DUCK

Manteo-Largest mallard duck
ever seen in this section was killed
Monday in the marshes of lower
Mays Head by Coy Tillett Jr. II
weighed six pounds and nine
ounces, and the size compared with
that of a Canada goose in weight
1t measured 80 inches from the
tip Of its bill to the tip of its tail
and had a Widespread of almost
one yard.
There was no mistaken identity
1t was male "greenhead" mallard
and was identical in coloring and
marking to smaller mallard
young Tillett killed on the same
day. The smaller one weighed two
and three quarter pounds.
The North Carolina Book of
Birds lists weights of adult mallard
ducks as ranging from two to three
and 3/4 pounds. The species, not
as numerous as some other wild
ducks which winter along the
North Carolina coast is seldom
seen in large flocks. They prefer
ponds in marshes to open waters
of the sounds. L. B. Turner, mana
ger, Pea Island National Wildlife
Refuge on Hatteras Island, about
10 miles south of where Tillett
bagged his big duck reported APP
proXimately 600 mallards there
last week.
Tillett did not eat this duck. In
stead his father, Coy Tillett ST.
gave the large mallard to Clark
Stratton on Christmas vacation
to take to Richmond for mount
ing. Stratton is one of the officials
of the regional office of the Ma
tional Park Service in Richmond

Federal Funds Granted for MAINS Harbor, Roa-
noke Island, S+umpy Point, Kitty Hawk. Avon

ed. Work May MOI Ger Underway Before
Warm Weather.

Federal relief funds in the
amount of $40, 500 for dragline and
bulkhead work have been approved
for seven projects in Dare County,
and work on these projects will be-
gin early in 1856, perhaps not be-
fore warmer weather comes. Law
renee Swain, county commissioner,
who has been authorized by the
board to handle this work, stated
this week that it requires consid-
cradle time to do the paper work
and engineering on these projects,
and considerable auditing and
checking, advertising for bids, etc.
is necessary before they can get
underway.
The grant of money to Dare
County came as result of claim
for STE, 485 made to the State and
Federal agencies handling relief
work in the state, by the Dare
County Commissioners, following
the hurricanes Connie and Diane
in August.
The projects which have won
final approval are as follows:

timated 10000 cubic yards, $751;

ored section on the west side of the

spent, mostly to continue work on

canal from the schoolhouse TO Kit
ty Hawk bay, eight feet wide, six

In addition to those above-men-
toned, the following projects were
disallowed in Raleigh: For break
water at Kitty Hawk, 500, 400;
breakwater at Duck 100000;
breakwater at Stumpy Point $685.
900. These projects were classified
as new projects, and were not eli
gible under the law. Such projects
as were approved were old prof.
ects, which the application showed
were damaged as a result of the
hurricane to the extent shown in
the grants made. Subsequent eff
forts on the part of Mr.. Swain on
behalf of the board have not re-
suited in revisions upwards of some
of the claims, or reinstatement of
those previously disallowed.
