Tilt-Wing Plane
 Unveiled By AZ

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif., tR IT A large tilt-wing transport plan designed for both vertical takeoff and hioh speed was unveiled here yesterday.
 The craft, weighing 1872 tons, is the largest of it's kind ever built. It was developed for the Air Force by the Hitler Aircraft Corporation.
 The object of tilt-wing plane is to achieve vertical takeoff and flight at high speed without hav- ing to make long runs on runways It has potential military value for being able to land and take off in restricted space. The plane has a bulky fuselage and two stubby wings with a span of only 48 feet.
 Despite it's shortness, the craft has a rating of more than 10000 horsepower, comparable to con- ventional large four-engine planes
 The plane, called the X-18, is not the first tilt-wing plane. A small model has been test flown.

BIG BLUEFISH RETURN
TO WATERS OFF DARE

Mays Head. - Bluefish, more
than 800 giants of the species
weighing from 10 to 16 pounds
were boated by anglers aboard
Oregon Inlet based boats during
the past few days. Approximately
1875 were boated Sunday and Mon
day.
These larger bluefish have not
been in coastal waters in such
quantities since 1886.
Capt. Fred Basnight of the
cruiser "Slow and Easy" stated
that the blues in the schools were
conferred in the general area of
Wimble Shoals off shore from Ro-
danthe, and are even larger than
those taken % years ago this sum-
mer. "Theyll average twelve
pounds each," he said.

Uncle Dock From Duck Wifes
NEED MORE LOOKING AHEAD WHEN
AGE MUST HAVE TO FIGHT ITS YOUNG

forethought.
1t sure looks like our generation
amt been looking ahead enough
in the upbringing of our young
folks when we have allowed them
to take control. We read about it
so much in other places it must
be so, but l don't see that our
young folks in this part of the
country are anywhere near as bad
as some we read about. OF course,
we always had few wild ones,
even when l was boy, but lot
of the wild ones turned out good.
Most time, a wild boy has got a
lot in him, especially of energy,
and If we can get it turned in the
right direction, he will turn out
pretty good.
The trouble seems to be in the
lack of patience and the time we
are willing to give our children.
We didn't have so much trouble
when our kids were growing up,
for we didn't have the expense of
"baby-sitters". The old folks stay
ed home and were busy and they
found work for the young ones to
do, and which kept them out of
trouble.
Mr.. Editor, times do change in
the fishing business. / read nearly
everywhere where strangers come
to our part of the country, spend
a barrel Of money just to catch
one big fish weighing four or
five hundred pounds, and then
throw him away. When l was a
boy, Pa worked all fall to get
enough little fish to salt down in a
barrel to feed the family the rest
Of the winter. Back in them days

FAVORABLE REPORT
FOR $4,000 FOR
INLET CHANNEL
Items Also Reported For Hat+eras
and Stumpy Point Harbor
Projects

The sum of 900 was report
ed out of committee this week in
the civil functions appropriations
bill for the Oregon Inlet to Man
teo Channel, according to tele-
gram from Congressman Herbert
Bonner. A similar amount was APP
propriated two years ago, and if
this weeks sum becomes law, will
make a total of $1,444.000.
Also, funds were reported favor
ably, for a study yof the deepening
of Rollinson's channel at Hatteras
and a breakwater at Stumpy Point
Bay in the amount of $4,000 each.
Mr.. Bonner has given a lot of
attention to these projects over a
period of several years. Consider
able progress has been made, due
to his diligent efforts, for in this
type of legislation, a lot of time is
required to overcome the numerous
hurdles of engineers surveys, re-
ports, and re-establishment of
items in the various bills, after
they have gone through the legis-
lative mills. Strong support has
been given these projects by the
various senators from North Caro-
lima in recent years.
The Oregon Inlet project was
energiZed by remarkable effort in
stituted by the late A. H. Ward, a
Manteo business man who spent
much tine and money in the cause
beginning about IL years ago
Various individuals, organizations
and county and municipal govern
ments have joined forces in this
work, and since Mr.. Wards death
his son Alvah Jr. has followed
through.

Three Trips

In 1858, chief storekeeper, c. 3.

Four years later, he reboarded
the Eastwind for his third tour in
waters north of the Arctic Circle.

before it merged with the Coast
Guard in 1915 Around 1916, my

''There didn't seem to be much
choice. In 1949, / signed on in the
Coast Guard at Boston. It's

The Eastwind left Boston for
the Arctic in early May this year.
"Our first assignment" Chief
Scarborough said, 'was to escort

Dear Mr.. Editor:
/ read in the papers where -four
women in a California town had
been sent to Jail for not keeping
their children off the streets at
night. Seems that anybody under
10 must be home by ten o'clock.
Now this is a new one on me,
but not more than l been expect
ing. When l was a boy, we heard
an old saying about the sins of
the fathers being visited on their
children. Now it's the other way
round, or maybe the sins of the
fathers and mothers are being
visited on themselves.
Me an my old woman don't al
ways agree on how is best to
raise child so he will do well
when he is grown. My idea is to
put them to work when they are
young, and the best know around
here is to put them to work in a
boat. There is something about
handling a boat that gives a boy
an education of the best kind. /
never knew a really good boatman
who couldn't make his way any
where he found himself. Boating
sharpens a mans wits, makes his
body strong and active and gives
him the ability for quick decisions
so he's ready for most anything.
The old woman always said the
best way to raise a child was to
teach him to save his money, and
to look ahead. l guess all Of it is
good, for my son up in Baltimore
has been counting a girl for four
years, and he wouldn't marry her
before he was able to- find her a
good job. Now that is what call

lion Alleged.

The Dare County Taxpayers
Association Wednesday night at a
meeting at Kill Devil Hills town
hall arranged for employment of
legal counsel to follow through
with such legal action as may be
deemed necessary in a fight
against what has been called the
Unreasonable raiding of the tax
able property of Dare County," by
the Board of Commissioners.
The firm of McCown & McCown
of Manteo has been retained with
instructions to employ such mea-
sures and additional counsel as
deemed necessary to make an all
ont effort to win an equitable
evaluation of property in the coun-
ty.
Chairman Walter D. Perry on
opening the meeting revealed that
several checks had been received
toward a fund to carry on the
fight, and he had many letters,
and other messages from interest
ed property owners, most of them
non-residents.
The Association has requested a
meeting with the Board of Com
missioners on July 9Th whereby
the appeal of the property owners
may be presented.
This week, letters are going out
to property owners who may be
interested in joining the associa-
ton and aiding it in its purposes.
More letters will follow until all
property owners may have had
an opportunity to contribute to
the cause.
Estimates of the probable cost
of appealing all the way to Raleigh
to the State Board of Equalization
if necessary were placed at up
wards of two thousand dollars to
cover cost of appraisers and others
qualified to rebut the action of the
commissioners, who will, of course
be expected to be fighting the peo-
pie at the expense of the tax funds
of the people of Dare County.
Sentiment was expressed at the
meeting that restraining order
should be sought in the courts to
stop the Commissioners from pay
ing out any further sums that may
be alleged to be due for the apprai-
sal job on the grounds that it is
not a fair and adequate job in
accordance with the contract made,
and that already more money has
been paid than has been earned.
1t was commented on that the
several thousand more dollars this
job has cost the county in an effort
to straighten it out and pacify the
taxpayers has been an Unjust, I'M
reasonable expense and has in
flicted undue hardships on the
citizens and other taxpayers of
the county.
In order to prepare for the
fight that may be necessary in the
courts or before the State Board
of Equalization in Raleigh, a
considerable amount of labor will
be required in assembling informa-
ton and figures relating to the
wide range of inequity that has
followed this attempt of the Board
to shift to the beach sections of
the county in particular, the fast
growing burden of taxation for
the operation of the county.
A rough estimate of the in
creased valuation shown in this
years appraisal, indicated that the
larger part of an increase of near
ly 20 millions was being added to
Mays Head and Atlantic townships,
wherein lies the principal part of
