OWENS TO BUILD
FISHING PIER AT
CHICAMACOMlCO
Motel Operator Now Constructs
ing Modern Service Station
Between Villages

Construction of a fishing pier on
Chicamacomico Banks is to fol-
low the completion of modern
service station now being built be-
tween the villages of Rodanthe
and Waves, according to R. d.
Owens, operator of the Chicama-
comico Restaurant and Motel at
this place, and which was estab-
lished four years ago.
Mr.. Owens received the GO
ahead sign from the National Park
Service last week whereby the pier
may be built.
An earlier proposal by Vir-
ginia Beach man to build one at
Cape Hatteras got fouled up when
the Navy unit there objected to
the location chosen.
The site of the Chicamacomico
pier is the most eastern point on
the North Carolina coast. 1t has
exceptional fame for surf fishing.
In this vicinity are the remains
of two wartime ships which not
only add to the scenic interest of
this beach, but make for better
fishing because of the gullies
around them and the barnacles on
their hulls which provide good
fish feed.
The original plan at Cape Hat
teras by R L. Williams of Virginia
Beach called for a pier 20 feet
wide and $50 feet long, and 825
feet north of the Naval facility
which objected to the location.

Dear Mr.. Editor:

I guess everybody at some time
this season gets vexed at the Leg
islature, and it is not my desire
to do so because others do. But l
always get het up when so much
talk is for more money to spend,
and what can be taxed extra to
get this money. The amazing thing
is that nobody ever comes out
with a plan to save the peoples
money, nor to cut out lot of
waste that everybody knows is go
ing on all the time. If they would
cut out some of the waste, and
throw out some of the goldbrick-
ers, they wouldn't need any extra
money. The trouble is they keep
US supporting the lot of their no.
good relatives and friends they
put on the public payroll.
Now this letter is to say few
words about this tax they want to
put on the children and the poor
working man by making them pay
extra for the bottle Of pop they
drink. Has it got to the point
where the Legislature is so lack
ing in ideas and in courage, that
the only thing left they can think
of to wiring a dollar out of, is the
bottle of pop that means so much
to our people, which to so many

WATERS
A HEAVY COST TO
HATTERAS ISLAND
Terrific Drop In Business When
People Cannot Travel To
and Fro

Much concern prevails on Hat
teras Island for this seasons tour
list business prospects because of
lack of sufficient ferry transport
tation. Due to shoaling of the
channel last fall from hurricane
tides, ferry schedules at low water
have been reduced to fraction of
trips formerly operating across
Oregon Inlet which must be cross
ed before Hatteras Island is
reached.
Instead of trip every 80 min
utes from either side of the inlet,
which means some 26 trips each
way daily, boats have not been
able to cross during long periods,
sometimes more than half a day
in length. After considerable de-
lay, a dredge has gotten to work
on an emergency job, but progress
so far indicates it will be some
weeks before the situation is re-
lieved.
Running time during an entire
month bears out the statement
which indicates trips have been re-
duced to discouraging minimum,
whereby traffic is kept away from
the island, and residents view with
futility any effort to go from home
on business, except under uncer-
tain and seldom instances when
high water may be taken advan-
tage of.
DIR. w. w. Harvey, Jr., President
of the Dare County Waterways
Association, has issued the follow
ing figures showing the running
time of the ferries as being a to-
tai of only %, hours in December;
IL hours and Is minutes in jan
uary and 81 hours and As minutes
in February, or only SO hours in
the entire three months.
One Hatteras Island business
man dependent on tourist patron
age said this week, he is suffering
a loss of 500 gross business daily
because motorists cannot cross the
inlet. Filling stations and other
business men claim heavy loss of
trade for the same reason.
During this same period a ire
mendous loss has been sustained

NEW YORK-some people complain, but
. there are those among us who find television
commercials highly educational. If it weren't
for those frequent interludes in nay viewing I
wouldn't be half smart as am.
Where else for instance, could learn that:
Shaving lather may soften sand so quickly
that you can shave piece of sandpaper without
running the paper part?
Statues, particularly old Greek and Roman
statues, have perspiration problem?

NEW YORK.-"If shooting a missile into
space isn't more interesting to the American
people than shooting Colt AS into the belly
Of q 19th-century villain with ketchup coming
out of his wound-for the 10Th time-then
there's something wrong with the American
people. Or with me-"
And with that family belligerent statement,
Fred Friendly, executive producer of the new
CHS Reports series, stated the case for his place
in teleVision. Friendlys place lies with the seri
Gus side of TV.
There's no denying that CHS Reports, con-
sisting of hour-long reports on various issues, is
serious stuff. Do televiSion viewers want serious
stuff? FriendlyS series, to it's credit, Is being
presented not in the Sunday afternoon "intellec-
tual ghetto" Ito borrow Varietys apt phrase),
but in the prime evening hours where the sup
posedly entertainment-hungry viewers gather
The series has taken as its province such
"unentertainment" type subjects as the "biogra-
ply" of a missile, the burgeoning world popula-
ton, atomic power, cancer research, the Middle
East, Trujillo and Charles Steinmetz-all of them
being hard-shelled documentarieS, to use word
which brings acute pain to Friendly's eyes.
"Documentaries!" Friendly shifted, sitting at
his desk the other day. ITO me a documentary
aim connotes do-goodism public service elee-
mosynary TV. But we don't have word that
really, with any accuracy, describes the type of
program we're doing. Whatever the word is,
we know this: If we can't compete with the

Westerns and the private eyes, then II means
we don't know our jobs.
"Our problem with these serious shows has
always been our inability to get them on ct
night. Now, with CHS Reports, we're competing
at night with the Westerns. If they win--and
I'm not referring to the ratings game-but IL
they win the audience we're cunning for, the
people who think a little who care then can
only conclude that the Western boys know their
jobs better than we do"
Friendly is big fellow, an intense, tough
minded, expansive bear of man who was CO.
producer with Edward r. Murrow of See 1t Now,
which has since gone by the boards, and OF
Small World, which is still with us.
He started his career in radio, in his home
town of Providence, r. l., with q series Of Ave-
minutes biographies Of famous men entitled
Footprints in the Sands of Time" Ia title which
keeps returning to haunt him-"but then, was
so young" he says).
Now, some 81 years later, Friendly is one Of
TVS bold, adventuresome spirits. He's not afraid
to step on toes.
Friendly unused: Sometimes I think TV
as a parallel to New York traffic. Every New
Yorker secretly feels that one day the traffc
win get so congested that no car will be able to
move. Then the city win be condemned and
We'll start all over. On TV soon every piece Of
theater will have been done for the tenth time.
All old stuff, and the outlook Is for more old
stuff. News Is the only thing that's new. We
live in the most exciting time to be aliVe-if 1t

Gets Anglican
G|obaI Post

NEW YORK, April 20 (AP)
The Right Rev. Stephen F
Bayne, jr, Of Seattle. Wash.
will take over next January ]
a new post that viii make him
the second most influential
figure In the worldwide Angli-
can communion.
Bishop Bayne, who has
headed the Olympia Diocese Of
Western Washington. will be-
come executive officer of the
global family of 40 million
Christians. His appointment
to the unprecedented post is
move aimed to strengthening
church ties across national
borders.
Appointment Of Bishop Bayne
was announced yesterday. He
was chosen for the post by the
Most Rev. Godfrey Francis
Fisher, Archbishop of Canter-
bury, primate of the Church
of England and chief spiritual
leader of the worldwide Angli-
can communion.
Bishop Bayne, who will be
outranked only by the Arch
bishop, is the first American
named as an international
lprelate in Anglicanism.
The new position was created
last summer by the Lambeth
Conference, a gathering OF
Anglican bishops from through
out the world held every 10
years. Establishment of the
post was a closely guarded Sc
cret until yesterday. The Lam
beth Conference left it up to
the Archbishop to select the
man for the post.
Bishop Bayne, so, will have
his headquarters in London
He will administer two key
agencies Of world Anglicanism
the Advisory Council Of Mis-
sionary Strategy, which serves
as the central planning group
for missionary work, and the
consultative body of the Lam
