his opponent, Republican Senator
Butler for his campaign fund

Maryland" the letter read.
Mr.. Mahoney said he felt
Marylanders wanted to serve
notice that they will not tolerate
the absentee ownership of a
United States Senator.
Mr.. Mahoney used his letter
to touch off an appeal for small
contributions from party men,

Democratic campaigns be f.

Maryland State Schools Supt.
Thomas G. Pullen. jr., yesterday
made a strong appeal for the
removal of certain barriers
placed in the way Of youth seek
ing a higher education.
The plea came in an address
before more than 1000 teachers
attending their annual Mont
gomery County convocation at
Montgomery-Blair High School,
Silver Spring.
DR.. Pullen said his concept of
the public school system is that
"the minimum amount of edu-
cation shall be determined only
by the capacities and the abili-
ties of each individual and by
the financial ability of the
Nation or whatever subdivision
is responsible to pay for it."
Equality of Opportunity
mo one should predetermine
the education of an individual or
individuals or place artificial bar
riers in the way of an individ-
uals rights to equality of edu-
cational opportunity" he said.
He criticized those who urge
examinations to control the
course of education student
must follow.
THAT philosophy presupposes
an ominsciense on the part of
those who prepare the tests. F. y
DR.. Pullen said.
DR.. Pullen also said he looked
with a jaundiced eye" on the So
called merit system of scholar
ships"
He said the result will be de
leterious to real scholarship and
real achievement"

OYSTER SUPPLY IN
DARE ARE TAKEN
AWAY FOR PLANTS
Wholesale Dredging Of Shells For
Removal To Lower Sounds
Reported

Dredging of oyster shells from
the waters of Dare County to take
to points on the lower sounds for
planting has been going on on a
large scale for some weeks, accord
ing to Wanchese oystermen. Thou
sands of bushels of shells are GO
ing to other counties for planting,
some of these counties being heavy
producers of oysters, but many of
their oysters go away in the shell
to distant markets.
This constant shipment of oys-
tiers to the markets of this and 9TH
er states, together with the prac-
tice of using large quantities of
shells for industrial purposes, has
had an adverse effect on the
growth Of oysters. Shells are in
valuable for the seed of oysters,
for here the spat deposits and
forms new, young oysters.
The oystermen themselves as a
rule, do very little, or nothing to
develop the industry. 1t is a con-
slant harvesting, with no sowing.
The State of North Carolina, part
ly from taxes on the industry, and
other sources, spends a great deal
of money planting shells where the
beds have been scraped clean, and
oystermen pick up a few dollars in
this job.
Wanchese fishermen say that
some of the recently planted
grounds in this county are being
scraped off before the oysters may
start growing, and the same shells
carried to other parts of the state.
1t is estimated that 10000 bushels
were planted in Dare. Inasmuch as
there has been no more than token
enforcement of fishing laws and
regulations in this state, little re-
lief is expected. There is always
much talk, and has been for Is
years about building up the indus.
try, but nothing has come of it;
it gets poorer each year.

CHRISTMAS CRASH BREAKS
SECOND POWER POLE AT
SAME SPOT; z INJURED

The right-angle turn on U. S.
1873 at Midway Garage on Roanoke
Island was for the second time
this month the scene of a motor
mishap when a power line pole
was cut off at the same spot, and
electric service interrupted on Ro-
anoke Island. Ernest Scarborough,
driver of an old pickup truck was
seriously injured, and is in the
Elizabeth City hospital as a result
of the wreck Christmas night
which also injured Will White.
Both men, eolored, were taken to
the hospital by Twiford's ambu-
lance, but White returned after
treatment. The truck was~ demol-
ished, the pole cut in two, and the
crew of the Roanoke Utilities had
their holidays interrupted for sew
eral hours, right at supper time,
but got service restored quickly.
This pole, which has now been re-
placed, was one set to replace a
pole cut in two by a Chevrolet
driven by ]. B. O'Neal of Manteo
two weeks ago, when Mrs. O'Neal
suffered serious injuries. At that
time the service was interrupted
for four hours and the crews had
to work also in the dark to get
service restored.

"OLD CHRISTMAS" TO
BE OBSERVED NEXT
SATURDAY. JAN. s.
Interesting Program viii Be Pre-
sented as Usual in School
Building at Rodan+he

The annual program in observ-
ance of the "Old Christmas" festi-
val at Rodanthe will be held on
January 9Th, in the school building,
according to Mrs. Nora Herbert
who is one of the leaders in staging
this affair, which marks an event
that until relatively few years ago,
was observed in most areas of the
Carolina Coastland.
The program, which will be par
ticularly interesting to young folks
and other lovers of fun, will in
clude "Old Buck" that legendary
monster who roams abroad and
seeks to punish bad children, if
any be found. The stage program
consists of music, minstrelsy, and
short skits which last for nearly
two hours. This, together with
dancing privileges, costs 81 pei
person.
An old time oyster roast will be
thrown in for good measure, ano
this alone is worth more than the
price of admission.
For the weekend of January
9Th, in order to accommodate Wis.
itors who plan to stay overnight
the nearby Mirlo Beach Lodge
which is comfortable, will be oper
for business.
Inquiries that have come fortf
this year with respect to Ole
Christmas, indicate more than US
ual interest. The affair continue:
to get wide publicity in nationa
magazines, and proves a valuable
drawing card for the tourist bust
ness of the lower Outer Banks.
The usual meeting of the Ro-
danthe Waves Civic Club which
falls on the first Saturday night in
the month has been postponed fol
one week, due to the conflict with
the Old Christmas celebration, ac-
cording to the president, w. w
Edwards.

ALL ROADS TO BE PAVED
SOON, WANCHESE ASSURED
Ruritsn Club lnsfsIls Officers and Dis
eusses Accomplishments Of the Year

A delay in getting a number of
roads paved in Wanchese caused
some encouragement to be voiced
Friday night, when retiring Presi-
dent v. G. Williams in reviewing
the accomplishments of the Ruri-
tan Club brought up the subject.
But Melvin R. Daniels former
Club president rose to say that
only that day, Engineer w. N.
Spruill of the State Highway Com
mission had come by his office to
assure him that all would be paved
shortly, alongfwith the job now
underway of widening and improv-
ing U. S. 1853 on Roanoke Island.
Mrs Williams pointed out the
club had planted 10000 bushels of
oysters, got the channel into Mill
Landing deepened and channel
lights and markers installed by the
Coast Guard, and enumerated
many other projects on which the
club had worked. 1t was brought
out that some action must be taken
to protect the oyster supply, which
is rapidly being taken away to
other parts of the state.
Mr.. Williams said he was proud
of the clubs accomplishments dur
ing the past year. Miss Sarah Hal
liburton was present, and intro
duced as a "most beloved lady,"
District Governor Soule Chandler
of Currituck Sound, was there to
make an inspiring address on the
Christmas theme and install the
new officers. James w. Davis, who
was president of the club three
years ago is the new president.
Arnold Daniels is Vice-President;
Chesley @didgettf Jr., Secretary;
Harry Baum, Treasurer; and Way
land Baum is new director.
Among several committee re-
ports made, Willis Daniels report
ed that a dumping ground for the
community had been established
by the club, which was much need
ed. Report on roads was made by
Reuben Vanderslice, who said two
roads only would be fixed, but a
supplementary report was made by
Mr.. Daniels.
The club was greatly pleased by
the address by S. C. Chandler,
