Pro and Con No. 3

When Negroes were brought to
the nation,
Their lot was one of subjugation.
rom a group that is subjected
Nothing at all can be expected
But after becoming emancipated
And becoming book-educated
1t seems leadership would have
been born,
And all forms of slavery would be
gone.
When chatte1 slavery left the race,
L1berated-slavery took its place.
Brave men died to pave the way
For Negroes to have brighter
day.
BY observation it is shown
Negroes do nothing on their own.
They depend on others for every
thing,
Don't produce a common shoe
string.
Non-production separates the race
Gives 1t the lowest possible place
When people are slaves by choice,
They have no right to raise their
voice.

CHANNEL BASS CAUGHT IN

Hatteras. - Commercial fisher
men report catching several chan
mel bass in their Pamlico Sound
pound nets recently at Hatteras
and from other fishing communi-
ties extending from Wanchese to
Ocracoke.
"This is an indication that the
big copper-colored fishes will soon
be in the surf and available for
anglers" said Carlos Burrus.
Anglers throughout the eastern
half of the United States watch
with interest for the first report
of channel bass each year in N. C.
Coastal waters along the Outer
Banks. They are particularly in
terested when the first is taken
with rod and reel from the surf
or by anglers trolling from Oregon
Inlet-based boats.

A FORMER RESIDENT SAYS
TOLL BRIDGE DETRIMENTAL

To The Editor:
have been reading with in
terest, what you have been saying
about toll bridge across the Alli-
gator River.
II think you should emphasize
more the difference in cost of
roads in the Eastern part of the
state and the cost of equal mile
age in the mountains.
You take a thousand miles of
highway in the flat country and
compare the cost to a thousand
miles in the hills and mountains
and you find the difference would
be enough to build many miles of
bridges.
1 may be on the wrong track, or
maybe off the track entirely, or
possibly headed in the wrong di-
rection, but / am assuming that
the state highway funds all go in
the same bag and that all highway
costs are paid out of the same gen.
eral fund. If this is true, why
strain at bridge and swallow a
Blue Ridge Parkway?
Another thing to remember:
people hate toll bridges. Back in
tina days when we had to pay toll
every where we went we expected
it. We had to pay toll or we didn't
go anywhere.
Nobody has to cross the Alli-
gator river. You can go around it
and most people would rather pay
two dollars for gas to go around
it than pay one dollar to go across
it.
If you want to do something big
for Manteo, build a toll bridge
over the Alligator River.
With all the other bridges in the
state free, a toll bridge would not
be used much unless it was in a
place where people were forced to
use it to get where they wanted
to go.
If the bridge should be built as
toll bridge, the state might
eventually take it over and. make
it free. In that way you might get
a free bridge sooner than if you
waited for the state to build it
free. However that is too doubtful
to bank on.
