Hard to Prove
Even when an officer sees a
motorist driving suspiciously or
smells alcohol on the breath of
driver involved in an accident,
drunk driving is tough to prove.
Some of the excuses are color
full. One man said he was stag
gering because he had stone in
his shoe. Another said he'd just
been given a drug by his doctor.
A cab driver involved in an acct
dent admitted he was drunk when
the officer arrived, but claimed he
was sober when the accident oc-
Cured. He said a friend came by
with a bottle while they were
waiting for the policeman and he
took a few snoTts to calm his
nerves.

One lady, however, admitted she

she wasn't drunk.
One policeman says the synp-

Police officers say a man they

far-sighted people.
The only thing holding back the
greatest possible development on
Hatteras Island and Ocracoke Is
land is lack of immediate ready
capital for financing enterprises,
tor the stimulation and promotion
essential to the bringing in of more
business and newer business. Those
who have visited the Florida Keys
and have witnessed the rapid de-
velopment of these islands, predict
comparable development on the
outer banks of Dare County and
Ocracoke.
The Hatteras area is bound to
go forward. 1t has the right spirit
among its residents. They are will
ing to invest their money, their
energy and their vision in the flu
ture of their community.
Take Hatteras Village. Scotty
Gibson has invested in hotel, and
now a new restaurant. A. S. Aus
tin, leading merchant, in a mo-
tel. Roscoe Burrus and Dan Oden
have each invested in rooming and
housekeeping facilities. Stores and
garages are keeping apace with
other enterprises. Investors in
these include Wheeler Balance,
Midget Brothers, The Blue Marlin
docks of Wilkins and Styron, and
many others who have planned for
the future.
Buxton leads now in tourist IA
cilities. The fascination of Cape
Hatteras lends itself well to this
kind of business. The Cape Woods
offer great possibilities for subdi-
vision into homesites for retired
people.
At Cape Hatteras the following
persons and their associates have
made large investments in facili-
ties. George Fuller, with his Cape

BOATBUILDING ON

FOR FiSHERME EN-
Carieret County Center for Con-
sfrucfion Of Commercial
Fishing Boats
BY WADE LUCAS

Morehead City. Boatbuilders
and bodybuilding are on the in
crease in coastal North Carolina.
No longer is it necessary for
commercial fishermen to go out
side the State to purchase boats
upon which so many of them de-
pend wholly or in part for their
livelihood as well as that of their
families.
In fact, bodybuilding is becoming
more and more of home grown,
Aome-owned industry in Carteret
and other counties of North Caro-
lima that border on the sounds and
the Atlantic Ocean. It has all the
earmarks of an industry that will
continue to grow.
There are at least six CONNER
cial bodybuilding concerns operat-
ing at the present time in Carteret
County. Up and down the coast
there are others, but the greatest
and most feverish activity in boat
bailding appears to be centralized
in this county whose waters con-
tain a large percentage of the fin
fish and shellfish taken under
rules and regulations prescribed by
the Department of Conservation
and Developments Commercial
Fisheries Division.
To a commercial fisherman a
boat is as essential as tractor,
mule, or pillow is to a farmer.
That a market exists for COM
mercial fishing craft that can and
are being built in this State is
evidenced by the fact that during
the past calendar year Gehrmann
Holland, State fisheries commits
Sioner and head of the CID De-
partment's commercial fisheries
division, sold State licenses for
placement on 1855 boats. Fishing
boats do not last forever. They
must be replaced in time.
Generally speaking, a CONNER
cial fisherman gets considerable

use of the boat or boats he owns.
Hurricanes hitting coastal areas
during the past two years, how
ever, have done considerable dam
age to many commercial fishing
boats. Many were sunk or put in
such condition by wind and water
driven by the hurricanes that they
are no longer disable.
Z The upsurge in bodybuilding,
however, cannot be attributed to
any great extent to the hurricanes,

to fishermen, family groups and
house-parties.
A beginning has been made on
Hatteras Island, but it's big one.
No place of comparable size and
wealth has done so much in so
short time as has been done on
this island. No place offers more
possibilities for resort development
when adequate financing becomes
available.

for new boats for commercial fish
ing use.
Sold Outside State
That the quality of commercial
fishing craft being built by North
Carolina concerns is also becoming
well known in the trade of those
who ego down to sea in ships" is
shown by the fact that sales of
boats built in this State are being
sold in increasing numbers to fish
ermen living in other states. This
is, perhaps, one of the most signi-
ficant factors connected with COM
mercial bodybuilding in the State.
The Willis Brothers at Williston
recently built big trawler for
New Jersey concern. The More
head City Shipbuilding Corp. at
Morehead City, largest in Carteret
County, is turning out commercial
fishing craft on an assembly line
basis. This same concern is also
working on a big order for the
Navy Department for special
type of boat for unannounced pur-
poses.
Old in years but young in en-
thusiasm, Elmo Wade, a master
shipwright Of renown along the
coast, supervises the building of
commercial fishing boats for Eli
mer Willis and his brother at
Williston, where the two also
operate a large clam processing
plant.
The Gillikin Brothers are busy
building boats in their large boat
house on Harker's Island. M. w.
Willis and his son are likewise
busy at their location near Mar
shallberg. So is the Rose boat
building concern also on Harker's
Island.
The payroll for those engaged
in bodybuilding in Carteret County
is also of factor in the economic
life of this area.
Timber growers, especially in the
southeastern North Carolina area,
furnish most of the wood used in
theI commercial fishing craft now

way.
Clinton threw the dirt into a
wheelbarrow then gave the spade to
Jeremiah Morrow, then governor of
Ohio, who dug the second spadeful.
There was a scramble to determine
who would dig the third shovel of
dirt out of the future big ditch but
Capt. Ned King, whose Chillicothe
company of infantry was there, dug
the third one. When the wheelbarrow
was filled Captain King wheeled the
dirt away and dumped it.
The New York party included
Judge D. S. Bates, who was chief
engineer of the work and had come
by the lake steamer Superior to
Cleveland and then to Newark by
stagecoach. There was the blare of
brass bands, the waving of bunting
and much speechmaking. Then the
actual digging had begun with the
canals principal sponsor sinking the
first spade.
The ceremonies took place in the
woods and after a three-day rain,
the flies were so bad that the cavalry
horses kept up such stamping that
the orators barely could be heard.
The crowd was so great that one
company of cavalry formed a hollow
square around the back and sides of
the speaking stand. Thomas Ewing,
of Lancaster, was orator of the day.
So began the great Ohio Canal
which extended from the Great
Lakes to the Ohio River,-307 miles
from Cleveland to Portsmouth, finish
ed in 1888. The big ditch was dug
in sections and by different contract
ors. and the actual time its various
fparts were finished is made up of a
mass of confusing and conflicting
dates. The northern section of the
canal was done and opened to naviga-
ton before that part through Colum-
bus had been completed-the Go
lumbus FEEDER" was opened in Sep
tember, 1881, and that part of the
canal through Chillicothe was opened
Saturday, October 21, 1881.
That part of the canal from Chill
licothe through Pike County to
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-02-23

Portsmouth was opened September
g, 1892, and about noon the water
came through. The first boat through
to Waverly was a home made one
so leaky that stops had to be made
from time to time TO pump the water
out of it. The first regular passenger
boat was the Governor Worthington,
owned by Michael Miller and Martin
Bowman, of Chillicothe.
The first boats to Chillicothe were
the Chillicothe; the Monticello; the
Victory; the Canton; the Lancaster;
the Athenias; the Napoleon; and the
Citizen, all on October 81, 1881. The
Dolphin and Governor Worthington,
both Chillicothe boats, met and greet
ed them.
The section of the canal between
Cincinnati and Dayton was opened
Sunday, January 25, 1929, and the
first boats through were the Governor
BroaOn, Ferrer, General Marion and
General Pike, all on that day. The
one way trip took from 20 to %
hours. The Alpha was a Dayton boat,
fitted partly for passengers and part
ly for freight.
Until 1887, when it was completed
to Piqua, that section of the canal
extended only from Cincinnati to
Dayton, 66 miles. 1t was begun at
Middletown in 1928 and was to have
been done by June, that year, but
breaks, floods and winter damage
delayed the work.
The finished work, including the
canals junction with the Ohio River
at Cincinnati, included nine locks,
five aqueducts, 20 stone culverts and
many paved waterways and road
bridges. With its three miles of side
cuts and feeders it cost STAG, ,852.7O,
averaging $1O,963 a mile. Cost of
connecting with the Ohio River at
Cincinnati alone was $135,OO0
The first year after completion the
canal took in tolls totalling $20,941.36,
partly freight charges. In 1928 it's
net tolls after repairs and expenses
were $200,773 and in 1910 the tolls
paid over six per cent of the canals
original cost.
Work on the canal was done most
ly by men and boys who lived along
it. They were paid So for 26 work
ing days or 3O3 cents day. But it's
coming brought wheat from 25 cents
to rs cents a bushel and other
products equally high.
