SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR
POWER BOATS IN PROSPECT

Representative Herbert C. Bon
ner, (D-N.CD, Chairman, Commit
tee on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries, House of Representatives,
announced that the Committee met
in executive session last week to
consider the adoption of a report
and recommendations, based on the
comprehensive study made last
year on problems of recreational
boating safety. The meeting, which
was the first to be held on the
subject by the full committee in
this session, was for the purpose
of reviewing draft report pre-
pared by the staff, and to discuss
procedure.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Chairman Bonner said: "While we
did not expect to conclude action
with regard to the adoption of a
report today, l think we have made
considerable progress. l confident
ly expect that a committee report
will be made to the House within
the next two or three weeks"
Bonner said that he could not
discuss the details of the meeting,
but that, "There was general
agreement that any recommended
additional legislation would be de-
signed to clarity and simplify ex-
listing law, and advance the inter-
est of boating safety without re-
tarding the growth of the sport
Committee sources said that the
problems of achieving uniformity
of boating regulations throughout
the country were discussed at
length, with full recognition of the
desirability for guidance from the
Congress in regard to the navig-
able waters of the United States,
which would be of value to the in
dividual states in fields within
their jurisdiction.

NEW BOOKkAOBlLE READY
FOR OPERATION IN DARE
viii Offer New Convenienees To Book
Borrowers; Change in Day For
Children's Story Hour

The third bookmobile to oper-
ate from the Dare County Library
for the purpose of making free
book service available to the citi-
zens of Dare County arrived in
Manteo last week. If the details of
insurance, licenses, etc. proceed as
expected, the new bookmobile will
make it's first trip on Wednesday,
April 3, to ,Hatteras.
Operating on a different sched-
ule from last year, the bookmobile
will go on the first Wednesdays of
the month to Hatteras and inter
vening stops; on the second We'd
nesdays, to Kitty Hawk and the
beach; on the third, to Stumpy
Point and East Lake; on the
fourth, to Wanchese.
Bookmobile service has been Of
fered county residents since 1851,
which means that long before the
day of good roads, the bookmobile
made regular, and often difficult,
trips through the county. These
road conditions considerably shor-
tened the service life of Dare
bookmobiles.
A pleasing green, the machine
is Ford Vanette and offers double
the space of the old bookmobile.
1t will hold between 1900 to 1000
books and thus will give patrons a
much wider selection.
One of the main features Of the
new vehicle is the opportunity
which it gives for book borrowers
to go inside and select their read
ing material directly from the
shelves. Formerly, readers stood
outside while making their selec-
tons.
In addition to serving Dare resi-
dents, the bookmobile, during the
school term, will make regular
stops to the county schools, offer
ing students an opportunity to
the reading material
available in the school libraries.
This service is free of charge to
all county residents, therefore it is
possible for those unable to visit
the Manteo library to get choice
reading matter without cost.
Mrs. Alberta Hamm, who has
been bookmobilist for the past two
years, will continue the service
with the new machine.
Because of the new bookmobile
schedule, it has been necessary to
Ch 1ge the Children's Story Hour
from Wednesday at 2:3O to Friday
at the same hour. This change will
take effect next week, Friday,
April 5.

LITTLE LEAGUE CLOSES
SUCCESSFUL FIRST YEAR

The local Little League basket
ball teams closed out their season
last week with a final two games.
The teams were made up of
sixth, seventh and eighth grade
boys and the four teams were or
ganized this year for the first
time. The value of the experience
and help that these boys received
in basketball will probably be felt
on Manteo High School teams for
several years to come. They not
only learned to play basketball,
but learned the value of working
together with other boys. A total
of 81 boys came out for the teams
and most of the boys were still
with their team at the final games.
The coaches for the boys were
Carlisle Davis, who coached the
Little Imps, Jack Burrus and Coy
Tillett Jr., who coached Jacks
Jokers, H. A. Greet, the Flaming
Rebels, and Sidney Shaw, the Five
Aces.
A total of eight games for each
team was played during the year.
The Five Aces won the champion
ship with total of 7 wins and l
loss. Individual high scorer for the
season was Gus Etheridge Jr. of
the Five Aces. Phillip Tillett of
the Little Imps was second. Select
ed for the All-Star team by the
coaches during the year were:
Wayne Balance, G. G. Bonner,
Dicki Burrus, John Earle Jr., Gus
Etheridge Jr., Larry Kenyon, Mike
Leary, Robert Midget, Bruce
Shepard and Phillip Tillett.
Selected on the All-Conference
team by the boys at the close of
the season We're: Gus Etheridge,

PRE-JAMBOREE SHOW
WELL RECEIVED IN

Excellent A m teur Production
With Professional Touches
Plays to Large Audience
in Manfeo

Playing to an audience of sever

generous applause from beginning
to end and much praise for the Sc
lection of talent and the perform
ances put on by the various parti-
cipants. The show was repeat of
the Revue staged the previous Sat
urday night in the Carolinian Ho-

acoustics, was an even better per-

made, as some of the original per-
formers could not be present for
the second show.

Queen of the 1856 season, was pre-
sented, and she made announce

AS good an amateur show as is
produced in much larger places,
there were a few acts in really

excellence of the entertainment.
There have been many requests for
the Revue to be taken to other
places, but no announcement con-
corning that has been made. Pro-
ceeds go toward the expenses of

SOCIAL SECURITY MAY
CONTINUE TO BE PAID
TO PERSONS OVER "a

In the past, when a parent asked
If social security payments could
be continued to his disabled child
past age 10, the social security
people have had to tell the parent
that payments could not be con-
tinued, according to Miss Sally E.
Croker, field representative of the
Social Security Administration.
She stated that now we can tell
these parents benefits are payable
to some disabled children who are
past age 10.
Miss Croker explained there are
certain requirements which must
be met before payments may be
continued to disabled children past
age 18. The requirements are ~
the child must have been disabled
before he reached age 10; (2) the
child must be dependent on a par
ent, or step-parent. or an adopt
ing parent who is entitled to old
age insurance benefits under So
cial security, or the child was de-
pedent on a parent who died after
1889 and the parent was insured
for survivors benefits at the time
or his or her death.
The payments to the qualified
disabled child will continue in
definitely so long as he remains
totally disabled.
If the disabled child past age Is
is found to be eligible for these
benefits, his mother Regardless of
her age) will also be eligible for
monthly payments as long as she
continues to have the disabled
child in her care.
Applications for social security
benefits for disabled children
should be filed promptly, Miss
Croker stated. The first payments
possible under this part of the
law were for the month of January
1857,

CAPT. EDGAR STYRON SAYS
GIANT TUNA OFF HATTERAS

Giant tuna, estimated to weigh
several hundred pounds each, and
of the same variety as the big
ones of this species which attract
anglers to Wedgeport, Nova SEQ
tia and the waters near the Ba-
hamas, were sighted off Hatteras
at the western edge of the Gulf
Stream on Sunday, March "a, it
was reported this week by Capt.
Edgar Styron, operator of the Blue
Marlin docks here.
He said the big fish were sighted
as they surfaced near Diamond
Lightship, and while he fished with
party of anglers headed by Cur
ry Perry of Portsmouth as they
made an early season exploitation
trip offshore to where the ocean
water turns blue and warm in the
Gulf Stream.
The party landed five small
school tuna, and two sea bass.
"The little tuna were young blue
fins, of the same species that are
caught each spring off Hatteras,"
said Capt. Styron.
"They weighed less than 10
pounds each," he added, "but it is
rot considered unusual to catch
the same species (school tuna)
weighing up to 25 or more pounds
from the same waters a bit later
in the season."
The sea bass were caught while
the party bottom-fished over an
old shipwreck or coral reef.
The party was aboard Capt. Sty-
ron's cruiser Twins II" which
bases at the Blue Marlin docks.
First of the giant tuna was
sighted on the surface ahead Of
Twins II at some distance. 1t was
not positively identified until an
other large one broke water at the
surface within so feet of the cruis-
err.
In Capt. Styron's opinion the
tuna were part of the great schools
which are known to migrate from
the Bahamas to Nova Scotia each
year. Seeing the big fish, that had
been apparently driven to the sur
face by sharks, lends credance to
the belief that in their migration
the big fish cross the Gulf Stream
as they move northward, off Cape
Hatteras.
