ROBINSON CHANNEL JOB
INCLUDED IN REQUEST OF
BONNER TO COMMITTEE

The deepening of Robinson
Channel into Hatteras Harbor has
been included in a request of Con-
gresham Herbert Bonner to the
Appropriations Committee, since
the present Administration has not
approved funds for the work, al
though Mr.. Bonner first began
work on the project in 1855.
Mr.. Bonner then introduced a
resolution calling for a survey and
report on the existing project to
bringing it up to a loft. depth,
and in 1856 he introduced an addi-
tional resolution to bring it up to
12-foot, the authorized depth of
the Inland Waterway. This present
administration has had a policy of
opposing any new stapts (that is
the term they use with reference
to public works.; therefore, the
Congressman has been unable to
get any funds in the appropriations
bill to take care of the expense of
the survey and report by the Dis
trict Engineer.
There is some hope that this
policy will be broken with respect
to 1958-59 budget. So Mr.. Bonner
has again asked the Chairman of
the Appropriations Committee for
hearing before the Committee to
ask for funds to be placed in the
bill. He has many complaints about
shallow water in these and other
waterways, from navigators using
them and thinks the public should
be able to get full value from their
use.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:

The fellers up at the country
store Saturday night was dis
cussing this Acting President ar,
rangement between Ike and Nix
on in case of a emergency.
Ed Doolittle was agin it, al
allowed as how it would set a
trend to have two politicians fer
ever job. l admit that having
'em line up single at the public
trough is bad enough, and when
they start lining up double it'll
git as expensive as lend-lease to
Russia during the war.
But if the trend didn't git out
of hand, it might be a good
thing. We could have, fer in
slant, a Governor and a Acting
Governor. You take the Guver-
nor, he amt got time to attend
all the Sunday school picnics and
political rallies in the state and
git any work done. He can't open
new highways, dedicate new
buildings, crown the Onion
Queen and the Potato Queen, and
at the same time be handling the
legislature, making official APP
pointments, lodging all the is
sues, and doing the things a good
Governor is supposed to be do
ing.
It might be good fer the coun-
try if we had Farmers and Act
ing Farmers. The Farmers could
git the crops laid by and the Act
ing Farmers would all go to
Washington and tell Congress
how to run the farms. That way
we could git some real farming
done at home and still have time
to read all the farm bulletins

HEARING, CONTROL
OF HURRICANES Is
SCHEDULED MAY z
To Be Held at Washington Fol-
lowing Plans Made at Eden
ron Last Week

Fifty representatives of counties
and towns in the Albemarle and
Palnlico Sound areas were advised
at a meeting held in Edenton
March 20, to submit recommended
tions for hurricane prevention
projects to the u. S. Army Corps
of Engineers at a hearing in Wash
ington, N. C. on May 2. The meet
ing, called by Lawrence Swain,
Dare County Commissioner, in CO.
operation with the Army Engineer
Corps and the North Carolina Hur-
ricane Rehabilitation Program,
heard explanations of COMPRESSION
al Public Bill II which authorizes
federal aid for hurricane preven-
ton measures.
Chairman Swain reviewed the
severe damage recent hurricanes
have caused in northeastern Caro-
lima coastal areas and stated that
the Washington hearing would pro-
vide an opportunity to request fed
eral preventive projects. Col. Row.
land Of the Army Engineer Corps
outlined steps to be taken in max
ing hurricane damage surveys and
discussed items to be included in
the report. The data included
should refer only to damage re-
sulting from flooding by hurricane
tides. Col. Rowland stated that
other damage such as soil erosion
and beach erosion resulting from
normal rains and winds should not
be included as Bill II does not
cover this problem.
The reports win be coordinated
by the Army Engineer Corps after
the hearing and will be submitted
to congressional committees for
consideration and action. Col.
Harry E. Brown, Director of the
State Hurricane Rehabilitation
Program, exhibited samples of re-
ports to guide officials in their

PREDICTS BIG BLUEFIsH
RUN ON COAST THIS YEAR

Good news for fishermen on the
Dare Coast comes this week in a
prediction that bluefish, both large
and small, will be back along the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts this sea-
son, according to Hal Lyman, pub
Usher of Salt Water Sportsman
magazine published at Boston.
"All good sthings must come to
an end" Lyman said, "but the
superlative bluefishing of the past
couple of years from Cape Cod
southwards definitely will not
come to an end in 1858. There
should be a good supply of fish in
the one pound to three pound
classes as well as many monsters
of Is pounds and better.
without question, there will be
"a good many racers-lean, mean
fish wasted by disease or parasites
among the large specimens" he
continued. However, reports from
far south waters and indications
from offshore show that the blue
fish definitely have not vanished
as they did in the 1905 after
peak fishing.
"While on the prediction job, l
might add that biologists have
been ahead of me in foretelling a
heavy run of small striped bass
north Of Chesapeake Bay land all
l can do is climb on the fishwagon
with them," Lyman added. "Early
season catches show that the 6iolo-
Qisfs are right"

ROBERT LEE MIDGET OF
MANTEO SEEKS OFFICE
OF REGISTER OF DEEDS

A Dare County boy who has
spent much of life in the Maritime
Service said this week that he
wants to stay home all the time
now, and live with his wife and
three kids. Robert Lee Midget,
born at Manns Harbor, and the
son of Mrs. Minnie M. and the
late Pelig S. Midget, a lighthouse
keeper until his death in service,
in 1888, is the man who wants to
be Register of Deeds. Robert Mid
gett is nephew of Capt. Levene
Midget of Rodanthe.
Mr.. Midget is a graduate of
Manteo high school, and of the
Maritime Officers school at New
London, Conn.,, where he was
awarded rank of ensign, and serv-
ed on ships through World War II,
in both the Atlantic and Pacific
war zones, winning campaign bars
from the Mediterranean and Mid
die East, and Pacific and Atlantic
theatres. He has been back home
for about five years, engaging in
the building trades.
He says that he wishes to re-
main home the rest of his days,
that he is interested in rendering
some service to the people of Dare
County too. Also he says if the
people honor him with the office,
he will be glad to assist in saving
money for the county and believes
he could run the office on much
smaller amount than is now spent
for it.
He plans to visit all the people
of the county between now and the
primary he says, and will explain
his views with the people. One of
the strong views he has expressed
is that the offices of the people
should not be looked upon as be-
longing to any one person for life.
The present incumbent has held it
for so years.

THRILLING PENALTIES
FOR SERIOUS CRIMES
IN DARE co. COURT
Offenders May Easily Feel Lille
Restraint After Getting Off
lightly. or Entirely

Hearings Tuesday afternoon be-
fore Judge w. F. Baum in Dare
County Recorders Court resulted
in two cases being sent up to the
May term of Superior Court for a
trial by jury.
Donald P. Thompson, a felon
confined to the Currituck Prison,
camp, was bound over on charge
of escaping from the custody of a
prison guard on last November 81.
Pending the trial, Thompson re-
mains in the custody of prison
camp officials.
The other case bound over was
charge against Lille Parker,
Manteo Negro woman, of entering
the cottage of Mrs. Lyma P. Davis
of Mays Head on March Is and
stealing $40 from Mrs. Davis's
pocketbook; the defendant in this
instance posted a $500 bond for
her appearance in Superior Court,
Judge Baum dismissed another
case after hearing the evidence, in
which Mrs. Davis had charged Lii
lie Parker with stealing $3.50 on
March ID, the day before the $110
was taken.
On Tuesdays court docket also
was a case in which Jerry Daniels
and Norman Ward, both of Man
teo, were charged by Marvin
Houston with assaulting Jerry
Houston, 16-year-old son of Mar
vim Houston, with a deadly weapon
to wit, a shoe. Daniels appeared in
court and pleaded guilty to as
saulting the Houston boy with his
fists; this lesser plea was accepted
by the court, and he was fined
$40 and costs of court. Ward, how
ever, has not been located by Off
GERS since the affray on Wednes-
day evening of last week, when he
joined Daniels in fighting the boy
and beat him with a shoe. Both
Daniels and Ward had previous
court records; Daniels previous
cases in the local court some foul
times, had been motor vehicle vic.
lations only, but Wards court rec
ord shows convictions, since 1916
in five motor vehicle violations
plus charges of being drunk ane
disorderly, cursing and abusing al
officer, assaulting an officer, anC
engaging in an affray. Ward ha.
also had pending in the Superior
Court since May, 1866, a charge
of "Neglecting and refusing tt
support and maintain an iIlegiti
mate male child"
In case in which Marvin Hous
ton of Manteo was charged in ;
counter-warrant sworn out b.
Jerry Daniels with assaulting Dan
iels with his fists, Houston plead
ed guilty and was fined $40 ant
costs.
In other words, in the view O
the Dare County judge, it is equal
ly serious when a grown mai
knocks another grown-man down
or when a man 35, years old, ant
another 81 years old gang up OF
a teen-ager 16 years old. In thi
case, officers apparently made Mt
effort to locate Ward, and despit,
any claims to the contrary, he wa
