Many observers believe it will
bring about a tremendous boom
the entire length of u. S. 264 in
Hyde and Beaufort counties.
Likewise, the counties of Wash
ington and Tyrrell may expect a
big increase in travel on U. S. "a,
now with one ferry route out of
the way, less and less people will
shy away from a trip to the sea,
which is advertised as saving so
to go miles between Raleigh and
Manteo.
Observers also believe that no
single project in Eastern North
Carolina has ever brought about 2
development comparable with that
upon the opening of the bridge to
traffic and after all approaches
have been completed.
The contractors, T. A. Loving
Co. of Goldsboro are completing
the job we'll ahead of schedule.
Except for the fact that the bridge
has to be painted underneath, it
might be opened to the public ear
lier.

Believes in Laughter
One of the greatest assets in
Frank Treet Fulcher's life has been
his wit. The old saying laugh and
the world laughs with you, cry
and you cry alone is true. And
the Rev. Mr.. Fulcher has always
had the ability to make people
laugh. His yarns have been pub
lished in many newspapers and
have enlivened many gatherings
and are quoted over and over again
by folks who know him.
One of the stories is about the
time he was at Avon on the Outer
Banks assisting in a camp meet
ing. The minister had preached on
the evils of drinking and closed
his sermon by declaring that "all
alcoholic WHISTLES should be thrown
into the rivers"
Frank Treet Fulcher who was
leading in the singing, then report
eddy said, eve will now conclude
the services by singing that old
favorite, Shall We Gather at The
River"
At a Methodist Conference in
Bayboro on one occasion the Rev.
Mr.. Fulcher was housed with a
presiding elder and a bishop who
were relating their experiences
during extremely hot and cold
temperature changes. One told the
story, how in the Alps he had left
a warm valley to climb mountain
and in a very brief period the
warmth. of the valley changed to
Arctic cold. The other told about a
similar instance in the Himalayas.
Then Frank Treet Fulcher gave his
version of temperature changes in
a more horizontal situation. He
said:
Bishop, you'll hardly believe
this but once in my youth while on
a cruise to Australia aboard a
Russian bark, before there was a
Panama Canal we doubled the
Horn and when we went into and
out of the Antarctic waters, the
temperature change was so sudden
and severe that the ships pet, a
little dog, dropped dead, sun
struck in the head and frost bitten
at the tall"

18TH ANNIVERSARY SAT-. OF
HURON WRECK AT MACS HID.

The U.S.S. Huron disaster, a
wreck which claimed the lives of
103 on the then bleak coast of
Mays Head occurred on November
"a, 1879.
A North Carolina historical
marker alongside the beach high
way abreast Miles and Polly
Clark's surfside summer cottage
calls attention to the wreck which
occurred nearby. The historical
marker is the second to be erected
near the spot. Victor Meekins plac-
ed signboard calling attention to
the wreck at the location several
years ago but it has long since
been demolished. The present
marker, like several now on this
historic. Dare coast, was erected
through efforts of the Dare County
Tourist Bureau and others inter-
ested in calling attention to events
Of historical significance.
On the 10Th anniversary of the
wreck of the Huron there was no
observance. AS matter of fact it
is unlikely that anyone hereabouts
even knew that one of the greatest
sea disasters of the u. S. Navy
had happened exactly 70 years
prior to Saturday, November "a,
on the beach at Mays Head.

But one man impressed me most,
l think his name was Jerry Hooper.
He said he had heard about me
and wanted to meet me. He said
during 1918 when gas was short, a
son of his with a boatload of oys-
tiers bound for Elizabeth City, ran
out of gas in Manteo, and that
had supplied him at the current
market price of 20 cents a gallon,
while some other merchants tried
to charge 40 cents, and thereby
take advantage of conditions"

where 1 had been taken to Manteo
by some relatives who went to at

sell ran big store for those days,
and he was a big friendly man.
He held county offices at various
time. When he heard that 1 was
a poor orphan boy, he gave me a
lot of candy and a nice new cap,

Mr.. Meekins is only 70 years old.
For a man who has led so busy
and useful a life, it would seem a
bitter pill to have to give up all
activity and sit all day in the
darkness. But he has developed
viewpoint and serenity that bring
him peace and joy; he has many
friends and many visitors. He has
neighbors he loves and respects.
He finds satisfaction in the life
he has led, with obligations dis
charged, debts paid, and help ex-
tended in cases where he thought
it deserved.
Mrs. Meekins, who is of his age,
the former MELVILLE Gray, who
grew up at Little Kinnekeet, a
village now extinct, is known
among the top-notch housekeepers
of the Outer Banks. The home is
roomy, comfortable, clean, hand
somely painted inside and out.
Those friends of old in the Coast
land who have wondered what got
him, will do well to pay him a visit.
A hard road leads to his door. It
has come too late to bring much
joy to man who struggled in
rough storms or hte water, and the
rough trails of the seashore
through long and busy years, but
he is glad to see it here for those
who follow after.
Save for one small boy lost in
the couple has brought
up three sons and three daughters.
One son lives at home, another is
a building contractor, another has
retired after long service in the
Coast Guard. They not only have
grandchildren, but several great
grandchildren.

40 POUND BOBCAT REPORTED
HOOKED. KILL DEVIL HILLS
BY. AYCOCK BROWN

Kill Devil Hills.-Although some
channel bass weighing 40 pounds
or more were taken by anglers
from the surf on Hatteras during
past week end, the most unusual
catch with rod and reel was a
bobcat which hooked itself and
then got away.
Fred Bailey, 2031 North Street,
Portsmouth, Va, fishing in the
surf at Avalon beach near here
with Portsmouth anglers ]. M.
Neal and Nathan T. Henry late
Saturday night reported the Incl
dent Sunday evening. He said:
1--WE had fished several hours
and had caught only one fish when
it began raining and sleeting. We
decided to go to our car parked
nearby and get some sandwiches,
leaving our rods and reels with
hooks still baited, propped up
against a small beach building.
"When we returned to get our
rods one was missing. Using a
flashlight we found trail in the
sand indicating the rod had been
dragged away. We followed this
trail up the beach short distance
and discovered, crouched beneath
a cottage, the hooked bobcat. Its
mouth injured by the hook was
bleeding. AS we approached, it
broke away, taking hook, and part
of line. We estimated the bobcats
weight at 80 pounds" said Bailey.

End Hunting Season Opens Today; FWS Cautions Hunters

Fish and Wildlife enforcement agents this week reminded hunt CTS that plan to hunt moose dur ing this second season, Novem- Der 1 to November 30, that only bulls with forked antlers or bet ter may be taken, and that the sex organ must be left on the car cass until ready for butehering.
 Fish and WifdIife agents will be in the valley area and may be contacted by hunters seeking in- formation. They may be contact ed through the U. s. Commission CTS office or at the FWS trailer parked near Green Acres.
 The FWS agents cautioned hunters to be sure the animal they are shooting at is bull with horns. Last year some hunt CTS shot COW moose, thinking they were bulls without antlers. Violation of this regulation could result in heavy fines.

 That is why, we at Ford, despite our con- fidence in our '57 cars, let their deeds of accomplishment speak for themselves. Therefore. we engaged an independent engineering organization to test our 57 cars more thoroughly than any other cars have ever been tested before - in this country or abroad.
 We provided them with '57 Fords-cars identical with those now offered by Ford Dealers. The rest we left up to them. Here is tUhat they did:
 They took these cars to the Salt Flats at Bonneville, Utah.

The most exhaustive endurance test ever given an automobile has just been completed by two stock '57 Fords-identical in every respect with cars now being offered by Ford Dealers.
 Under the supervision of the United States Auto Club and the Fedora ton Internationale de Automobile, each of these two '57 Fords travelled 50,000 miles in less than 20 days. Ford No. averaged l0S.16 mph for the entire run :. Ford No. 2, over Tor mph. These averages include time for all pit stops.
 In all, the '57 Ford smashed 45S national and international records. This test was run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah .. it was the longest left turn in history.

Pigs Need Plenty
OF Water

Don't let the lack of water, the
cheapest feed on your farm, keep
your pigs from making the fastest
gains POSSIBLE, says Ray Lloyd,
Asst County Agent In this time
of low prices every step must be
taken to make the cheapest gains
possible. Providing adequate water
for the pigs is one of these steps
to be taken.
Most farms now have running
water. Where this is available a
line should be run to the range
where the young pigs are growing
so that an adequate supply is
available without involving a lot
of labor Carrying a bucket of
water a long distance to the pigs
in these times is just like planting
corn by hand or harvesting grain
with a cradle. Times have changed
and labor is expensive and valu-
able. With running water to the
hog pasture the use of dairy drink
ing cups will provide an economi-
cal self-waterer for the pigs. The
running water may also be used
to fill the self-waterer using a float
valve. Or the pigs may be watered

action $fas determined on by Inter

by the Board, meeting in session
with Interstate Milk Producers

Marketing Committee.
Following a breakdown in the

Build For Goodness

Keeping livestock cool in sum-
mer is sometimes more important
than keeping them warm in win
ter, says Harry Carver, farm build
ing specialist from the U. S. De
partment CT Agriculture.
He fcresees a trend in farm
buildings towards making sure OF
this summer comfort for livestock
and poultry-and forgetting SO
much about winter protection ex-
cept for very young livestock and
poultry.
Dairy cows, he points out, can
stand fairly cold weather without
dropping production. But house
them at temperatures of more than
70 or so degrees and they slow
down. At 105 degrees, neither a
Jersey or Holstein COW has much
of an appetite or produces much
milk. But, you can get down to a
25-degree temperature before Jer-
sey production stops. For a we'll
fed Holstein, even a 5-degree above
zero temperature doesn't slow
down production too much, says
Carver.
AS for hens, they produce the
most eggs at temperatures around
55 degrees and when the relative
humidity is about 1919. Tempera-
lures from 40 to 20 degrees are
generally satisfactory. But at IS
degrees, they just about stop lay
ing eggs.
60 Carver says that farm build
ing designers are tending TO "open
up" livestock shelters for summer
use are making more use of
fans and evaporation cooling
even using some refrigeration-
type equipment.
Open. low-cost shelters of pole
type construction also are less ex-
pensive than some of onr more con-
ventional type of buildings, Gar
yer thinks. And they can be
changed easier to meet different
farming conditions. Plans and help
with designs can De obtained from
the county agent. George X. Vapsa
