WILDLIFE RESOURCES NOW
HAS EAST LIKE ACCESS AREA

Manns Harbor.-Now ready for
the use of anglers who enjoy their
large mouth bass and other fresh
water fishing is the East Lake
Access Area just completed by the
State Wildlife Resources Commits
sion in cooperation with West Vir-
ginia Pulp and Paper Company.
The new access area is convenient
ly located to the state road be-
tween Manns Harbor and the vii
lage of Mashoes.
w. S. White, local game pro-
tector for North Carolina, stated
that the new access area cost ap-
proximately $4,000. 1t was nee
essary to clear land and use drag
lines to build the approach road
and the parking area for autos and
boat trailers. A ramp for launch
ing small boats has also been con-
structed.
East Lake on the Dare main
land is undisputedly the best fresh
water fishing area along the Caro-
lima coast, according to White.
"More limits of largemouth bass
and other fresh water species are
taken there, and in less time, than
anywhere l know" he said.

EASTER SEAL SALE
BEGINS THIS WEEK
Drive For Crippled Children Headed
by Mrs. w. 3. Fearing Of Manfeo
Who Expects Good Response

The annual Easter seal sale, for
the benefit of crippled children,
gets underway in Dare County this
week, with Mrs. w. B. Fearing of
Manteo as chairman.
The funds raised by this drive
are used to aid crippled children,
whose condition comes from other
causes than polio, and is separate
and apart from the polio fund.
Mrs. Fearing is mailing out
sheets of seals this week and hopes
to get excellent response. School
children all over the county will
receive coin cards next week. Mrs.
Fearing says that in some cases
there may be duplication of names,
and if anyone should by mistake
receive more than one letter con-
tanning seals, she asks that it be
disregarded. She does not want the
extra seals mailed back to her.
The drive will last from March 10
through April 10.

net fishermen. An interesting
story could be written concerning
the pound-net fishermen, who back
there thought that about four &C.
#. square nets and 200 yards of
leader span were about all any
two or three men could handle.
Twenty years later-about 1910
and on, single crew of two or
three men could handle ten to fif-
teen of these heavy pound nets

ring for those who wished to pre-
pare for them. Boat loads of net
stakes would be brought to Duck
Island and other ports on
schooners, sharpies and other
smaller boats-poles from ten feet
to thirty feet in length, from Alli-
gator River and other places
where these could be secured. Fish
ermen who had small swamp lands
growing gum trees would cut the
smaller ones for stakes and some
times resort to the pine groves for
a cutting of small pine. Next in
order would be gathering "bats"
where ever they could be found.
These were half-brick pieces and
were slung on small twine and
used for weights for the gill nets
on the reef. The net-hanging per-
iod was generally in January and
stretched out into February. Chief
ly, this work was done in what
was called "net yards"-small
clearings made in a wooded place
and banked with the clearings for
protection from wintry weather.
The women and younger people
for the most part shared in the
net-hanging work. These nets We're

SHORT COURSE IN
FISHING PROMISES
SESSION
Unusual Event Being Planned To
Take Place at Naes Head
From June llfh to 5fh

{ Raleigh. - Advanced registra-
tions for the Forthcoming 1856
Sports Fishing Short Course Offer
ed by the North Carolina State
College Extension Division have
already exceeded last years total
enrolment, Director Edward w.
Ruggles of the Extension Division
reports.
The short course will be held
June Ills at Nags Head on the
Outer Banks of North Carolina.
During the week-long school, stu
dents will learn about fresh and
salt water fishing from experts.
Not only will students learn how
and where to fish, but they will
also have ample opportunities to
enjoy fresh and salt water fish
ing.
Present advanced enrolment
have been received from SO fisher
men and fisherwomen from nine
different states and the District
of Columbia.
Seven doctors from Winston
Salem are enrolled, and five hus-
band-wife teams. Registrations
have come from throughout North
Carolina and Pennsylvania, Kan
sas, Georgia, Illinois, Virginia,
Michigan, New Jersey, South Caro-
lima, and Washington, D. C.
Several prospective students
have inquired about airport facih-
ties. The airport is within ten
miles of the Carolinian Hotel
where the fishing school students
will stay during the course.
Director Ruggles stated that
Nags Head was chosen as the site
for the school because of it's ex-
cellent fishing areas and its nu-
mererous tourist attractions.
Nags Head has 25 miles of beach
for fishing, swimming, and boat
ing. Nearby are the quaint village

DARE TAX FUNDS
PAY SMALL PART
OF SCHOOL BILLS
Figures Show County Budget un-
der 20 Gents on the Dollar
Spent: Annual Per Pupil
Cost $l69.

Lucky people, of Dare County!
The average cost of sending each
child through nine months of
school this year is approximately
$3.50. Of this sum, the average
cost to the Dare County treasury
is approximately $31. Dare County
taxpayers are paying less than 20
cents on the dollar for the educa-
tion of children in Dare County.
And best of all. Those who re-
side in Dare County, are paying
less than half of this $31. Since
perhaps half of the resident tax
payers have no children attending
school, the average cost per child
for schooling to the parent is per-
haps less than 81. Now when you
boil it down, that's a pretty good
deal-$169 worth for only 50 a
year.
Well, that's how it stacks up,
and there is another angle to this
picture that is interesting too, for
the larger part of our recent in
vestment in school buildings, in
fact just about all of it came into
Dare County from the recent
State Bond issues, and the county
now has some $71,000 left of this
money unspent.
All things being considered,
doesn't the spending of this money
call for some mighty careful
planning, and effort to see that
the children get full value? After
all it is collected for the benefit
of the children themselves, and
the children alone. To spend it for
any other purpose or motive would
be a criminal and foolish waste.

PIER MAY BE BUILT
AT RODANTHE, HATTERAS I'D.

Rodanthe.-R. D. Owens is COM
pleting a very unusual task here
in the village of Rodanthe which
is one of the Hatteras Island COM
munities now making a bid for the
influx of vacationists and tourists
attracted to the region as a result
of Cape Hatteras National Sea-
shore Recreational Area which en-
braces most of the land area be-
tween lower Nags Head and Ocra-
coke Inlet. Mr.. Owens has moved
his Chicamacomico Motel from the
sound side adjacent to the new all
paved highway to the ocean side
of the island. He has also moved
his restaurant which is operated
in connection with the motel.
Now, if his plans carry, Mr..
Owens expects to build an ocean
fishing pier close by his motel and
restaurant. Negotiations for con-
struction of the pier on land leased
from the National Seashore have
reached an advanced stage and the
project may be completed by late
Spring or early summer. 1t will be
the first fishing pier for Hatteras
Island and the location if con-
structed where planned will be in
one of the best fishing spots along
the coast. Many anglers have had
exceptionally good luck in recent
years casting in the surf near the
hulks of two old LISTS that were
wrecked on the beach here during
the mid-194O's. One of the hulks
is abreast the village of Rodan-
the, the other abreast Waves, the
community once known as South
Rodanthe which is two miles
away. The fishing pier over the
surf and ocean will be between the
two wrecks.
Surf fishing should be starting
soon in the area according to Asa
Gray of Waves who keeps tabs
on sportsfishing from year to year
in the Rodanthe- Waves sector. AL
| ready beach haulers with seines
have caught variety of species
including "puppy drum" or small
channel bass in the Rodanthe-
Waves section this year.
In addition to Chicamacomico
Motel, now becoming an oceanside
hostelry, there are numerous other
places of accommodations in the
section, Mr.. Gray pointed out in
Guiding Mirlo Lodge at Rodanthe
and several rental cottages in both
communities.
