HALF-MILLION FOR
OREGON INLET is
APPROVED IN BILL
Would Stabilize Channel and
Bring Deep Water Into
Pamlico Sound

First fruits of the constant work
of Congressman Bonner, aided by
many people in Dare County, ap-
peared this week in approval in
the House appropriations bill by
the subcommittee, of a fund of
$4,000 for the improvement of
Oregon Inlet. This is the first
time funds have been included in
the appropriations bill for this
project, and with the steadfast in
terest of Senator's Erwin and Scott
assured, there is now hope that
funds will become reality.
Avah H. Ward Jr. of Manteo,
who got news from Congressman
Bonner's office Monday, is hopeful
that at last something tangible is
in sight for this much needed
project. The clamor for Oregon In
let developed into a big campaign
some ten years ago under the
leadership of the late Alvah H.
Ward, a Manteo businessman, and
through his efforts great interest
was aroused throughout Eastern
North Carolina. Delegation after
delegation went to Washington,
and large sums were donated by
the fishing interests of the state,
aided by liberal support from the
Dare County Commissioners. In
this early effort Victor Meekins
and Ben Dixon MacNeill spent
much time on the project.
Mr.. Ward spent much time cam
paigning through the coastal coun-
ties, to arouse interest in the prof.
ect. Since his death, the work has
gone on, although somewhat inter-
mittently. When his son returned
to Manteo some three years ago,
he took up the old banner, and
found the same groups anxious to
aid in the project. Recently the
Commissioners sent delegation
to Washington to help in this
cause. Among those who went to
Washington recently in behalf of
the project with Mr.. Ward were
James w. Davis of Wanchese
Ruritan Club, Melvin Daniels and
Lawrence Swain for the Board of
Commissioners.
Helping in the cause were vari-
ous public spirited citizens all
alOng ths Coast. The Ocracoie
support was led by Stanley Wa
hab. Support came from William
Potter of Beaufort, Garland Full
cher of Oriental, and other prom
inent fishermen and business men.
Elizabeth City, Edenton, Columbia,
Norfolk, Belhaven, Washington and
other towns, came to the rescue
in the early days.
It's been a long hard fight, and
it could have been lost, had those
who gave so much time to it at
any time given up their struggle.
The hardest work was done first.
It took lot of time and money
to show those in power the need
for the project. Final approval
was obtained for a project that
will call for the expenditure of
million dollars, when all phases
recommended by engineers are
complete. The present appropria-
tion now is prospect Of becoming
a reality, will be a grand start
and mean much for the economic
development of this region. It
will bring deep water into Pam
leo Sound through the inlet, and
will be of immense value to vari-
Gus nearby community ports.

TN MOST clover patches, the four-leaf kind
Il is rarity. But in the clover beds belong
ing to Bill Daniels Of st. Petersburg, Fla,
all the little green stems bear four leaves.
Quite properly, in the tradition Of this token,
the four-leaf clovers have brought Bill good
fortune, to the tune Of about $4,000 year.
Some 80 years ago. Bills father began
raising the lucky grass as hobby while
living in Panama. One day his daughter,
Marion pressed four-leaf clover in birth
day card and sent it to a friend. Charmed
by the gift, the friend asked for more to
send to his friends. In time. the clover
cards caught the eye of large greeting
card firm, and an ensuing order for million
of the tiny four-petaled leaves put the elder
Daniels in clover-business, that is.
After moving his four-leaf farm to st.
Petersburg in 1914, Mr. Daniels retired, leav-
ing son Bill in charge. Thought to be the only

four-leaf clover farm in the world, the enter
prise centers on elevated beds in which the
clover is grown by hydroponic methods and
fed with chemicals. Bill has developed
methods of press drying and preserving the
clovers. Nine full-time and five part-time
employees pick the leaves, press them. encase
them in plastic to protect them, and prepare
them for shipment
The genuine white clover (tritilium pepens)
takes six weeks to grow, with spring and fall
best for harvesting. though in Floridas
warmth it can be grown the year round.
Daniels sends them to market in five sizes,
from baby leaves for jewelry to extra-large
for business cards and advertising. What
began as a spare-time hobby has developed
into a half million-dol business Gold
may sell for around $32 an ounce but an
ounce of the humble four-leaf clovers is
valued at four times that amount
