HUNTING PLANS IN
SEASHORE PARK
AREA OUTLINED
Road Construction May Hinder
Access at Some Places
This Season

The management plan of legal
public hunting within the Cape
Hatteras National Seashore for the
195S-59 hunting season has been
made public by Supt. Robert F.
Gibbs. Provision for hunting in
designated portions of the Seashore
was made in 1910 by Congressional
amendment of the original legis-
lation authorizing establishment
of the Seashore. All of Ocracoke
Island was designated plus 1000
acres elsewhere within the Sea-
shore. Representatives of the State
of North Carolina and Department
of the Interior in 1854 recommend
ed to the Secretary Of the Interior
1,500 acres on Bodie Island and 500
acres in 8 separate locations on
Hatteras Island, and he so desig-
mated those acreages. All desig-
mated lands are now under the
jurisdiction of the National Park
Service.
Access to the wildfowl blinds on
Bodie Island will be disrupted by
the new entrance highway con-
struction this first season. An at
tempt will be made to provide ac-
cess over the new road to desig-
mated parking areas in the vicinity
of the blinds. However, conven-
tional type vehicles may expert
ence some difficulty in travelling
the new road.
i. This plan sets forth the pol
icies, rules and regulations which
are designed to provide for and
manage public hunting as author
lied law on designated lands within
Cape Hatteras National Seashore,
hereinafter referred to as the Sea-
shore.

which hunting is legally permitted

FOR BOY SCOUT
FUNDS IN DARE

There are 100 Boy Scouts in
Dare County, and this week the
annual drive for funds to support
their work began. A group of
leaders met Tuesday at the Caro-
linian Hotel to start the drive.
Julian Oneto, leadership gifts

the scout program grow from two
troops in 1856 to nine units which
serve $50 boys of Dare County.
Gene Trautwein, district scout
executive, presented the program
for 1858, indicating that interest
is being shown in prospective cub
scouting on Hatteras Island, Wan
cheese, Stumpy Point and East
Lake.
He pointed out that the Tide
water Council uses funds to serve
the individual community, supply
ing training, administrative know
how and program aids. The coun-
Gil also helps with full-time, year
round camp program. maintenance
and upkeep of camp sites and area
wide activities, he said.
The Rev. Louis Athens Of Mt.
olivet Methodist Church and Da-
vid Stick praised scout work ac-
complishments in the area.
"The influence along the ave-
nues Of being physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally
straight, coupled with continual
spirited growth, has the qualities
that are necessary to develop the
future leaders Of Dare County," the
Rev. Mr.. Aitkens said.

Blue Ridge Religion
By JAMES BRCHFIELD
Star staff Writer

MEADOWS VA
THERE IS majestic simplicity about All
Il Saints Chapel, high In the Blue Ridge
Mountains. that adds to the impresSiveneSS
Of the Episcopal services that are held there
each Sunday throughout the summer.
All Saints Chapel at Tanners Ridge, near
the Skyline Drive, is one Of a number Of
Episcopal mission churches established in the
Virginia mountains before World War I. While
Sunday services also are held at High Top
and Pine Grove, the services at High Top are
irregular. But you may always be sure Of an
II am. service on Sunday at Tanners Ridge.
Tanners Ridge is on a mountain road that
leads from the Skyline Drive, near Big
Meadows down to the town Of Stanley, in
the valley.
The mission Is outside the Shenandoah
National Park, and the people who attend its
services are for the most part, residents of
the mountain area. They are proud people
whose religion is part of their daily lives.
Much of the work of building the mission
was done with their own hands
The mission consists of white chapel
set back against the mountain, stone bell
tower, stone parish house and rectory
of stone and wood.
The church came years ago from a con-
gregation in Fauquier County but the tower,
parish hall and rectory were built by the
mountaineers The stone was taken from the
mountains and was laid by unskilled masons.
The most impressive thing about All
Saints is its altar, placed against plate

glass window that makes the mountain
scenery a part of the church.
There is a piano in the chapel, but the
music for the services is provided by guitarist
James Meadows He leads the singing from
a pew in the rear.
James s. Petty, a senior at the Virginia
Theological Seminary at Alexandria, has been
serving as missionary during the summer.
He also conducts six services week at other
missions and at the National Park head
quarters.
Once a month, the Rev James Gordon,
rector of Christ Church, Luray, visits the
chapel for communion services. Mr.. Gordon
Is vicar of the mission, following practice
established when it was founded by the Rev.
DIR. Churchill Gibson while rector of the
Luray church.
The Rev. Dennis Whittle who followed Dr.
Gibson at Luray and as mission vicar, spends
his vacations at a mountain cottage near the
Tanners Ridge chapel and is a regular at
tendant at services while he is there.
Mrs. Whittle the former Janet e. Walton,
once served as missionary in the Blue Ridge,
and is responsible for the altar window at
All Saints. She had seen similar altars at
missions in the West, and realized when she
came to Tanners Ridge that a window looking
out over the mountains and valleys would
be impressive.
AS one minister said after visiting ALI
Saints Chapel, the altar window is one that
truly lets the light of Christ shine through"

Sherwood Banks on Court,
Rivalry to Stop Gaithersburg

Sherwood is hoping that RI
valIy and a home court will off
set the advantages in scoring and
height when the Warriors take
on Gaithersburg in Sandy Spring
tomorrow night.
Sherwood absorbed bad beat
ings from Walter Johnson and
Northwood last week and hopes
to avoid a similar fate at the
hands of the arch-rival Trojans.
More problems confront Sher-
wood coach Jack Burke. John
Weldon failed to make the re
quired academic average and
will be ineligible for play. Jack
Mertens, the Warriors biggest
point getter, didn't play in either
game last week and there is some
doubt that he will be in uniform
against the Trojans.
On the other side of the ledger,
George Pontius is again eligible
as is Tony Santini and this should
help some. The boys haven't been
able to practice since before
Christmas.
Ne awhile, Gaithersburg
doesn't see too much of an OBJ
stacle in the way to their second
straight Class 'B" county crown
The Trojans should cement their
claim against Sherwood without
much trouble.
The Trojans found another leg
on the crown last week against
Damascus a little tougher than
they were expecting. Gathers
burg beat the Hornets 1892 but
not before the little green men
had made their presence felt.
