BEARDED LADIES DINNER
SCHEDULED FOR APRIL

Because literally the wife Of a
bewhiskered man becomes a
"bearded woman" on occasions, a
special pre-Jamboree event this
year will be known as the Beard
ed Ladies Dinner" 1t will be the
first time that such recognition
has been paid the women, who in
sense have to put up with
bearded husbands in the Pirate
Jamboree promotion, although the
men have been guests at a special
dinner each year since the Spring
vacation launcher was established.
The Bearded Ladies' Dinner
will be held at Beacon Motor
Lodges Nautilus Room on Friday,
April 8, preceded by a social hour.
At meeting Sunday, March 1 at
tended by Jamboree workers, in
GLIDING Pirate Queen Mary Burrus

girl friends of bearded men would
be eligible to attend the dinner.
Former Pirate Queens Sarah

LYMAN PARTY LANDS
l5-LB. OCEANIC BONITA

Hatteras. - An oceanic bonita
weighing Is pounds was landed in
the Gulf Stream off Hatteras
Monday by party that included
Hal Lyman, publisher of Salt
Water Sportsman Magazine, Bos-
ton, and Bill Dillon of Buxton.
They caught five smaller fish of
the same species but failed to
raise on Monday any bluefin tuna
which was their main objective.
Small bluefin tuna have been
taken with rod and reel off Hat
teras at intervals since January
Is this year. No larger tuna have
been taken than the five to 10
Founders so far this season, how
ever, the hundred Founders are
due within a week if the same
pattern of their appearance this
year is as in 1868.
The first hundred Founders last
year were boated on st. Patricks
Day in March.
Lyman and Dillon were joined
on Tuesday by John Randolph,
outdoor editor of New York Times.

DIR. MASON EXHIBITED
PHOTOS OF OUTER BANKS

DR.. Francis Mason, professor of
English, of Gettysburg, (Pa.) Col
lege, exhibited a collection of pho
tographs of Hatteras Island, Feb
ruary Is, IA and Is. The exhibit,
titled Faces and Scenes from the
Carolina Outer Banks" was open
to the public in the Art Depart
ment in Christ Chapel basement
at the college.
A member of the college faculty
since 1925 and recipient of three
degrees from the University of
Virginia, Mason is also a member
of the Gettysburg Photographic
Society.
Since 1888 much of his vacation
time has been spent on Hatteras
Island, near the famous North
Carolina cape, where he has had
varied experience as carpenter,
fisherman, taxpayer, Sund a y
School teacher, hurricane watcher,
beachcomber, loafer, and photog-
rapher by appointment His in
terest in the camera arose from
his interest in the Carolina coast
land and his high regard for its
people.
81 hope I have reported my
maritime friends and their fasci-
mating island with simple fidelity"
DIR. Mason says. His photographs
shave nothing to do with sensa-
tionalism, scientific journalism, or
tourist curiosity, and he has small
respect for the conventional rules
of the Salons" he asserts.
This exhibition was viewed by
well over two hundred persons,
most of them making their first
acquaintance with Dare County.
They were asked to indicate their
first, second, and third choices
among the pictures.
First place went to sunrise
scene made at the eastern edge of
Hatteras village; second, to a
beach and sea-scape looking to-
ward the Gulf Stream from
point near the Atlantic View Ho-
tel; third, to a portrait of Ann
Robinson of Frisco; and fourth,
to a Hatteras boat-harbor scene.

BIG BLUES AHEAD OF BLOW
OFF DARE COAST RECENTLY

Hatteras. - A giant bluefish
weighing Is and three quarters
pounds after a small hunk had
been removed from its body by a
bird or shark was caught in a
Pamlico Sound pound net on
Tuesday by Perry Austin, a COM
mercial fisherman, and Donald
Oden of Hatteras weighed it. A
deep sea trawler, Voyageur of
Hampton, Va, caught several
giant bluefish about 80 miles due
east of Kill Devil Hills last week.
Here eight giant blues weighed up
to 20 pounds each.
Last summer anglers caught
several hundred big blues weigh
ing up to Is pounds each in the
vicinity of Wimble Shoals south
east of Oregon Inlet. 1t was the
largest catch of giant blues made
with rod and reel since the mid
die 1905 when the greatest runs

SOCIAL SECURITY
BY EARL w. TRINKLE
Field Representative

Most of the people in this area
who worked and earned more than
81 10000 in 1858 while receiving
any type of Social Security retire
ment or survivors benefits must
file an annual report of their earn
ings.
This annual report must be filed
with the Social Security Admins
tration not later than April Is,
1859. Filing a federal income tax
return does not fulfill this require
ment since the tax return is filed
with the Internal Revenue Service.
If a person received Old-Age,
Wife's, Widows, Mothers, Chill
dren's, Widower's, Husbands or
Parents benefits for any part of
1858 and earned over 81, 10000, this
report is required.
The Social Security Act pro-
vides that benefits can be paid for
all months of a year if benefici-
ary's earnings are $1,200.00 or less.
For every eighty dollars or a frac-
ton of eighty dollars of earnings
in excess of the first 81 10000 the
beneficiary will have one check
withheld if he or she worked in all
months of 1858. Regardless of his
total earnings a person is paid for
any month in 1858 in which he did
not earn more than $4,000 in
wages. Also self-employed per-
son can receive benefits for any
month in which he did not render
substantial services in his bust
ness.
An important exception to the
rules listed above is that benefits
can be paid to a beneficiary for
all months after he reaches age 72
regardless of his total earnings.
The major change in this part
of the law by the 1858 Amend
ments provides that during 1859
and thereafter a beneficiary will
not have a check withheld for
month in which his earnings do
not exceed $4,000. The maximum
"a person can earn in 1858 without
having any checks withheld re-
mains $4,000.
The annual reports we have
been discussing should be filed on
or before April Is, 1859 in order
to prevent the loss of benefits due
to penalty being applied.
Should you have any questions
or if you need assistance in COM
plotting an annual report write to
Social Security Administration,
District Office, 220 w. Brambleton
Avenue, Norfolk 10, Virginia.

plant operated by fuel oil, for the
entire island, is dependent upon
the proper maintenance of suffi-
cient depths for the moving of oil
barge.
"Vessels needing ports in time
of distress, requiring in excess of
present depths, must of necessity,
endeavor to reach the Hampton
Roads area, some one hundred
m i les distant, when adequate
depths in these channels would en-
able them to seek protection in
Hatteras Harbor.
"Hatteras Island, always a COM
mercial fishing area, with some
three fourths of it's population in
volved in various aspects of this
business, and with one of the
greatest booms in Sports Fishing
boats of all types, along the Attain
tic seaboard, is in great need of the
improvement for the maintenance
of its economy. as we'll as for the
protection of vessels going to and
from the harbor.
"The economic growth of Hat
teras Island is directly connected
to it's channel and harbor at Hat
teras in that supplies and articles of
commerce for development, can to
a large extent, be supplied only by
water transportation through the
project area. At present plans are
underway for the development of
an International Sports Fishing
I"Blue Marlin" activity; and the
success, even in it's first year, of
such a venture is largely depend
ent opon the access through these
channels which will be available
to various boats from distant ports
through the project area.
eve urge your favorable con-
sideration of this project, which
will benefit not only the immedi-
ate area, but the entire eastern
seaboard, and improve navigational
conditions for vessels af all kinds
using Hatteras Inlet as an access
from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Pamlico Sound area.

for establishment of one or more
new ABC stores on the beach.
Full considerations, in the Boards
opinion, operate in favor of leav-
ing matters as they are this year.
eve have had various express
sions Of opinions of residents of
the Beaches. Some vigorously OPP
pose opening new stores, and per-
haps thereby reducing profit to the
system. Others, and some of
these are in the limits of the town
of Kill Devil Hills offer opposition
to establishment of more stores.
Many people naturally oppose
moving the location of the present
store which they contend is more
nearly in the center of the sum-
mer population which patronizes
it.
"This Board has been in office
only short time. 1t has had in
sufficient time to become familiar
with all phases of the system. We
are anxious that any steps we take
be guided by the spirit of the law
which created the system. To be
fair to the public as well as our
selves, it becomes advisable that
we wait until we have year of

might be considered extremely i'm

GIANT STRIPED BASS TAKEN
IN NETS ON DARE COAST

Mays Head.-Rockfish or strip
ed bass, the largest scaling at II
pounds, have been taken by COM
mercial fishermen hauling the
surf along the Dare Beaches this
week.
A few days ago similar catches
were reported from Hatteras Is
land and this fact, that the cur
rent weeks catches are north of
Oregon Inlet leads some to be-
lieve that the giant stripers are
now migrating northward.
Julian Oneto said commercial
fish dealer had cut into the stom-
achs of the fish to determine the
type of food the stripers have
been feeding on. They found
young croakers.
This led some anglers to be-
lieve that perhaps the right fish
to use for batting the big striped
bass would be croakers instead OF
cells, crabs and artificial lures
which anglers have used without
making any catches.
Striped bass are anadromous
meaning they live during migra-
tions in either salt or fresh wat
erS.

MANTEO BAPTlSTS
TO HOLD REVIVAL
FOR TWO WEEKS

Two weeks of revival meetings
will open at the Manteo Baptist
Church on Sunday, March Is, with
services every night except Satur-
day. Evangelist for the campaign
will be James o. Mattox, pastor of
the Hartford Baptist Church and
Moderator of the Chowan Baptist
Association. He is a native of East
ern North Carolina and is married
to Doris Meekins, whose father,
Edward N. Meekins, originated
from Manteo. Mr.. Mattox will be
here for the second week of the
meetings, March 22-27. Accompa-
nying him as Song Leader will be
Charles Overman, at one time the
County Farm Agent at Manteo,
now resident at Edenton.
The meetings the first week,
March 1920, will be led by the
pastor of the church, Wilfred E.
Cholerton. His topics will be: Sun
day morning, They Crucified Him;

come and enjoy the services. These
meetings will be full of warmth and
interest and spiritually helpful. The

year ago. The Chairman, from the
$125 remaining, was easily able to
meet the county's uota of 500
for the Jefferson-Jackson Day din
ner in Raleigh March 28th.
Chairman Daniels also recently
sent out an appeal to precinct
committeeman for funds. The OBJ
ject this year is to build up par
ty fund that will put Dare County
at the top in this state again.
Party activity has been tagging,
but at this time in addition to the
500 quota, it is planned to buy
five additional tickets, or contrib
ute $3.50 dollars more, whereby
these tickets may be distributed to
individuals throughout Dare Coun-
ty to enable all sections of the
county to be represented in Ra-
leigh on March 18th when the Gov
ernor of Maine will be principal
speaker.
In 1910 when Victor Meekins
was chairman of Democratic fund
raising, contributions went over
the quota, and he was awarded a
trip to Washington, d. C. to at
tend President Roosevelt's third
Inauguration. At that time, Dare
County stood second highest in
the state, exceeded only by the
record per capita made in Halifax
County that year. Except for hav-
ing to raise funds to cover last
years quota, Dare would easily
exceed the 1910 per capita record
this year.
All persons who have been con-
sidering making contributions are
urged to do so early next week.
In addition to the 32 contributions
of $40 each, there have been sew
eral contributions of 81 to SIS. In
1910, there were only ten $40 con-
tributors, Meekins said, after con-
sulting his record. 1t took only a
total of 5000 that year to put us
second in the state, and half of
the sum was contributed by ten
persons.
Robert Midget, fund treasurer,
Secretary to the committee for 20.
years, says he is grateful for the
response that has been given and
expects several contributions soon
to help carry the county over the
