SNOW GEESE NORTHWARD
MIGRATION BEGAN LAST WK

Manteo.-From their Pea Island
National Wildlife Refuge on upper
Hatteras Island between Oregon
Inlet and Rodanthe, approximately
5000 greater snow geese began
their northward migratory flights
on January / and 2, according to
L. B. Turner.
Turner, manager of the refuge,
stated that the first greater SHOWS
had arrived in early November
with the largest flocks arriving on
November IL. Peak population for
greater SHOWS on Pea Island this
year was 10000. With the estimat-
ed 5000 beginning their northward
flight during early January, only
a few hundred remained at the
refuge.
Pea Island Refuge was estab-
lished in the late 1905, and il
was the primary winter haven foI
greater SHOWS, although up to 20
species of ducks, swan, Canada and
blue geese also use the refuge. In
early January this year there were
more than 1000 Canada geese
which will remain in the refuge
area until mid-March. There were
also thousands of ducks, mostly
blacks, pitfalls, baldpate, gadwal
and ringnecks.
In addition to waterfowl that
migrate to and from Pea Island
refuge each year, there are scores
of local birds also using the ares
and at certain seasons there are
hundreds of egret, heron and shore
birds.
Because of its varied birdlift
population, Pea Island is one Of
the most popular refugees in east
ern America for bird watchers ant
oinithologists.

WHO DECIDES IF THE RACES
START MONGRELIZING
(By James P. Dees, Statesville
In the State, Dec. LAY


/ note in some of Sundays pa
pers a report of action by "the
State Student Legislature" on reso-
buttons ito legalize inter-racial
marriages and prostitution" l was
gratified to read of Mr.. Cooley's
remarks condemning this action.
Such action as that on these res
olutions gives one pause for re-
Election. Where do such ideas as
these come from? Are they dream
ed up by the students themselves,
or are the ideas expressed by these
students terminated from diseased
instruction and leadership by the
teachers and professors and adult
advisory personnel on the payroll
in these colleges? do not think
the students take these ideas with
them from their homes; therefore,
/ am inclined to think that they
get the from the teachers in
these institutions of learning.
1 think that it is time the people
in this state rose up in righteous
indignation and had general
housekeeping of their educational
institutions, both Church and State,
and kicked out the left-wing hber-
ais and atheists and free thinkers
and free lovers and integrationists,
and employed as teachers of their
children people who will teach
them what they want them taught.
Who should decide what shall be
taught our young people. The par
ents and the people who are paying
the bills should, and not these lib
eral proponents of inane perver-
sions of our Southern and estab-
lished American ways-who are
claiming for themselves the shield
of academic freedom, to which they
have no right.
1t is interesting to observe that
these two resolutions were present
ed at the same meeting-on legal
lied racial marriage and prostitu-
ton. One wonders at the sort of
thinking that would have produced
these two, and where it stems
from. / note that the resolution on
inter-racial marriages was intro
duced by the delegation from Duke
Woman's College. / wonder what
parents of Duke students think of
what is being instilled into their
children at Duke, and what they
are going to do about it, if any
thing ?-and the parents with chill
dren in the other institutions
1t is time that conditions in our
colleges that will produce such
thinking among our young be
thoroughly Investigated, and posi-
tive, punitive action be taken
against the people responsible. We
should demand that the people re-
sponsible for such avenues of
thinking be dismissed. How long
must we put up with it

SOME FISHERMEN
WOULD SLAY THE
LAST FISH IN N. c.
AIbemarle Sound Group Demands
State Given 40 Days in
Closed Season

Regardless of the big decline in
in the supply of fish, and the ex-
IRENE need for protection and con-
servation, delegation of Abe
marie fishermen would take the
last shad and herring left. This
group has been allowed by oul
vote-seeking representatives on the
so-called conservation commissions
to have undue privileges for hall
century,, taking fish during the
closed season, and fishing an extra
month longer than fishermen in
the lower sounds and during the
most important time that should
be set aside for spawning.
This week delegation of fish
ermen from the Edenton- Hartford
area today asked the State Board
of Conservation and Development
for some regulation changes they
contend will enable them to stay
in business.
Speaking before the commercial
fisheries committee as representa-
tives of the group were Attorneys
Carroll Holmes of Hartford Coun-
ty, and w. NJ. Darden, of Plym-
outh.
The fishermen want to do some
flood" fishing with gill nets dur
ing the closed season on shad and
herring-April 81 to June land
the committee went along with the
request.
They also want to fish in wa
tiers from the Albemarle Bridge on
Highway 80 at Pea Ridge to the
Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge
some five miles west, and from
the head of the Albemarle Sound
up the Chowan River to a bridge
over Highway II. Permission to
use three-inch and larger nets was
requested in those waters.
Some IT'S families on the north
side of Albemarle Sound depend
on commercial fishing for a live
lihood, it was declared, and the
industry in that section has
around a million dollars invested
in fishing equipment.
There are many times over IT'S
families in the lower sounds de-
pendent long time on this indus
try, solely dependent, while in the
upper sounds, a living from agri-
culture, logging, etc. is available to
those who also fish.
It is to be hoped that such out
rageous and selfish requests will
get no consideration from the fish
cries officials.
''There are still plenty of fish
of the proper SIZE" said the dele
atoms spokesman, eff fishermen
are allowed to go get them"
The committee voted to hold a
public hearing on the proposal to
open the waters at Morehead City
on April IL at 2 pm when it also
will hold a public hearing on a
request of the North Carolina
Fisheries Assn. to prohibit Satur-
day shrimping in state-controlled
water as a conservation measure.
Sunday shrimping now is prohibit
ed.

WHEELING

COMICS /. Most of our state
highway troopers are great racon-
teurs. Any casual encounter with
the highway .gendarmes unproduc-
tive of memorable yarn or two
is poor pickings indeed,
l guess it's because like monu-
ment to the. weather they are buff
fed constantly by the vagaries of
the public which range from abu-
sive' to odd, from funny to not so
funny.
/ Spend eight hours or so in a
police car and stop maybe 25 or
80 Grant motorists and it's even
money that more than one will be
an oddball.
| The grim ones, mind turning
over desperately for an alibi, are
seldom funny; the befuddled ones
you feel sorry for-sometimes; the
irresponsible and the DRINKS are
unpredictable.
Occasionally on a Saturday
night, when highway shennanigans
usually climax for the week, l ride
with a state trooper-a genial
though unyielding six-footer, To-
gether we've had some weird and
hilarious encounters with Mr.. and
Mrs. John @.
This particular trooper, who has
cruised the roads for 10 years,
groups his customers" into four
classes: the average driver who
realizes his mistake, accepts his
ticket without protest and goes on
his way; the timid and shy, who
wait wordlessly and dry mouthed
for the bad news; the belligerent
blokes who, liquor inspired or
otherwise, throw their weight
around; and the bolters-the ones
who, under no provocation, stop,
hurl open the door and hot foot it
for the woods.
Friend trooper was forced to foot
race one like that not long ago.
1t all started with tapping IL
cense tag, at worst an offense re-
quiring only a reminder to have it
fixed. But the driver had other
ideas-long distance ideas. When
the patrol cars red light hit his
mirror he was out and running.
His car with the loose tag was left
standing in the road. \
The trooper, no slow goer him
self, lit out after him. In few
minutes they returned. The driver
was thickly trying to explain. The
driver, l think, was drunk.
What did you run for?" the
officer asked. No answer. "Well, is
this yuor carr" Again no answer.
Then, remembering that he had
left his flashlight in the patrol
car, the trooper called out to me,
GIVE me that light, Bill"
This brought ano immediate re-
sDonse from the sodden culprit.
"Yassah, just a minute" he said
while funnbling in his pockets. 81

See what l oddballs. And

listed in the Navy for a four-year
"hitch." Discharged in 1925, he
Joined the Coast Guard the follow
ing summer.
For about a year and one-half
after the start of WV II, Sobel
worked for the old Army Air Corps
as an engine inspector at the Cur
tis-Wright plant in Patterson, N. ].
A feeling of nostalgia for salt
air sent him to the Maritime Serv-
ice and in 1913 he was graduated
from the officers training school
at New London, Conn.,, and COM
missioned an ensign. He was a
ships engineer on the New York
Scotland run until i'll health forced
him to leave the service. He joined
the Army Transportation Corps in
New York as a civilian and helped
prepare the first technical manuals
which the Corps published.
Sobel later served at the Mari
eta, Pa, Transportation Depot
and Transportation Materiel Com
mand until 1855, when it was
merged with a st. Louis office to
form the present logistical COM
mand, under Brig. Gen. William B.
Bunker. Col. Clare Passink, now
Deputy Commander here, is one of
Sobel's friends from the Marietta
unit.
Sobel confides that his career
was "easy-you only remember the
pleasant things" and passes along
a bit of philosophy which helped
him.
81 always thought that my SUI
perior knew his business and l
was never fooled" he declares.
"The people who picked the boss
knew more about him than / did"
The Sobels are headed for a new
home in retirement. They will live
in their home at Wanchese, Roa-
noke Island. Mrs. Sobel is the for
mer Miss Virgie Saunders, a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. C.
Saunders of Wanchese.
Sobel is proud of being a four
time grandfather. His daughters
are: Mrs. Kay Shand, % Robins
Lane, Berwyn, Pa, and Mrs. Team
Baron, 1851 Roundtree Road, Los
Angeles.
A sister of Sobel is following
in his military footsteps. Maj. Min
Sobel is a member of the WAC
stationed at Brooklyn Army Ter
minal, N. Y. Others sisters and his
brother are: Mrs. Bess Grossman,
Long Branch, N. j.; Mrs. Mary
Kranzler, Newark, N. j.; Mrs.
Shirley Rubenstein, Patterson, N.
j., and Aaron Sobel, Elizabeth, N.
j.
Asked about retirement, Sobel
gets a CLEAN in his eye. II have a
36-foot Coast Guard cutter hull
mothballed down there on the is
land" he points out. II bought it
some years ago as surplus. Now
! can fix it the way l want it.1
He adds that he is still a Ii
censed ships engineer for "steam
or internal combustion engines,
any ship, tonnage or ocean,"
Friends here presented him with
a barometer and a cushion, with
the admonition not to spend toe
much time on the latter. Another
gift was a desk set.
