Zoo Chief With More
Elephants Visits Mann

The director of Ceylon's only
zoo and DR.. William Mann,
Washington Zoo director, are
comparing notes these days after
a 25-year friendship on paper.
Mai. Aubrey N. Weinman,
founder of the zoo in Colombo,
Ceylon. is on a cross-country
visit under a grant from the
American Government.
He told DR.. Mann he found
lit difficult to discuss ZOOS lin
front of the greatest living au-
Ithority on them" But DR.. Mann
promptly put things on the right
track.
He has more elephants than
I'VE have" he said.
The Ceylon ZOO has six
trained liberty elephants, /"
which give free performances
daily in an arena that seats
5000 people, Maj. Weinman
said. In addition, four or five
are always on hand ready for
exchange. Mai. Weinman said
he believes he has the largest
collection of elephants anywhere.

NEARLY 100000 PERSONS IN
YEAR VISIT HATTERAS AREA

While only 6,424 persons visited
Cape Hatteras National Seashore
during the month ending November
80, a total of 293,771 persons en-
tered the area during the first II
months of the current year.
1t seems apparent at this time
that approximately 100000 per-
sons will have entered the Recre-
ational Area during the IL months
of the current year ending Decem-
Der 81. This is an increase over
last year and it illustrates the po-
tentials of the recreational area as
tourist attraction which is des-
tined to grow from season to sea-
son. Prior to the establishment of
the National Seashore and the
states highway leading through
same, only few thousand persons
each year travelled through this
section of the Outer Banks be.
tween Nags Head and Ocracoke
Inlet each season.
During November 1921 persons
were counted as entering the
Wright Brothers National Monu.
ment area at Kill Devil Hills. This
pushed the total for the first II
months Of 1856 to 292,O7O ant
! compared to 173,S74 for the sam.
period last year.

SAND EEL MAY BE CLUE
FOR ANGLERS WHO WANT
TO CATCH BIG STRIPERS
By AYCOCK BROWN

{. While small striped bass or rock
fish which usually appear in great
schools during late autumn and
early winter months in Dare Coun-
ty waters are caught in great num-
bers the big "jumbo" size stripers
that are known to be in the surf
of the Outer Banks each year have
baffled and challenged sportsfsher-
men.
A new clue relative to bait that
may attract the big bass was dis
covered down at Hatteras last
week by simple method of stom-
ach dissection of giant rockfish,
according to Willie Newsome, own
er-operator of the Sportsman's
Headquarters, in the community of
Hatteras. 49,
Commercial fishermen hauling
in the surf with nets have landed
some nice catches of big striped
bass recently" said Newsome who
added that the largest weighed
more than so pounds each.
"At one of the local fish dealers
cne of the big bass was being
dressed and its stomach dissected.
Inside the stomach was found sew
eral partially digested sand eels
which indicated that this was the
food the big fish now in or near
the surf are eating" Newsome con-
tinued.
Anglers who have been fortunate
enough to land big striped bass in
the surf of Hatteras Island have
usually caught them with cut bait
while they were actually casting
for channel bass. During a 30-year
period, however, less than 80 giant
stripers have been landed in the
surf with rod and reel.
Various bats and lures have
been used without success during
the years., That is why finding the
sand eels in the stomachs of the
stripers offers a new clue, accord
ing to Newsome.
"Some of the local anglers are
now seeking sand eels which they
plan to use as bait in their efforts
to catch the big striped bass" said
Newsome.
Sand eels have been used along
the north Atlantic coast where
these big fish have been a principal
attraction in recent years. If plans
materialize at Hatteras, similar
bats will be used in efforts of solv-
ing the problem of catching "jum-
bo" stripers with rod and reel
along the Outer Banks, it was stat
ed.

STATE WATERWAYS
COMMISSION GOAL
OF ALL-SEASHORE
Group TO Meet With Governor
Hodges to Press For Leeis- .
lation on Dec. 18th

Headway is gaining for a move
ment backed by the All-Seashore
Highway Association, asking for
legislation to create State Water
ways Commission with functions
similar to those of the State High
way Commission. A delegation
from the All-Seashore Highway
Association, of which Stanley Wa
hab of Ocracoke is president, and
from the Southeastern North Car
olina Beach Association will meet
with Governor Hodges in Raleigh
at II am. Tuesday, December 18th,
to press for legislation in behalf
of the movement aforesaid.
Waterways in coastal North
Carolina are a vital part of our
transportation SYSTEM" Mr.. Wa
hab says. Lacking proper plan
ming, construction and maintenance
in the past, our waterways are
now inadequate for the successful
operation of our growing CONNER
cial fishing industry, and for the
recreational needs of our resort
areas.
"We feel that a State commits
sion is absolutely necessary to CO.
ordinate all waterways projects, to
plan for future expansion, to main
tain the smaller channels, and to
keep pushing the various projects
in the order of their importance"
