COOPERATION FOR
DEVELOPING MORE
GAME is SOUGHT
Ernst Suggests Plans For Conserv-
alive Management OF West
Va. Cos Vast Acres

West Virginia Pulp and Paper
Company. requested of the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Com
mission, assistance in developing
an improved plan of wildlife man
agement on it's lands in Dare, Tyr
rell, Hyde and Washington Coun-
ties. The request was presented to
the Commission at its meeting this
week in Raleigh, by William
Ernst, Jr., Manager of West Vir-
ginia's North Carolina Woodlands.
Mr.. Ernst pointed out the need
to plan ahead for increased hunt
ing facilities. With additional road
development, more of his compa-
ny's property is open to hunting;
thereby providing need to increase
the game population. His appeal
to the Commission included the
development of working agree
ment whereby Wildlife technicians
might offer proposals, based upon
research and experience gained on
the various State managed prop
critics, to more fully develop the
game resource on his company's
lands. The lack of sufficient forage
for deer during the late winter
season is a factor of significance
that should be given attention.
The enforcement of the permit
system as employed by West Vir-
gina is matter in which the Com
mission may be helpful.
The proposal was referred to
the Committee on enforcement who
suggested that representatives of

Wide Experience Has Been Lot

On last Thursday evening, the
first meeting of the senior citizens
club of Dare County was held in

ed president. Mr.. Cox, a native of

More Rough Shedding Ahead For

Citizens of Kill Devil Hills may

municipal weather from now on.

need for such action. There has
been sufficient resurgence of the
anti-municipal sentiment to elect
men who may be expected to dis
solve the towns corporate exist
ence.

claimed further interest in any adj

that a drawing be held at 5 pm.

Ira Partridge, a native resident
who has long been consistent foe
of the town, was elected on the
town board by Ga votes. c. A.
York by 65 votes and Robert A.
Young by 81. But Mr.. Young, who,
by the way is a brother-in-law of
Mr.. York, has abdicated, and like
Mr.. Chears, refuses to serve on a
Board in which they might always
expect to occupy minority posi-
ton. The third man must now be
appointed by the remaining two
who qualify. Jack Balance, one of
the candidates who was nosed out
on a vote of So is expected to be
selected as the favorite of Cook,

RALEIGH.-The wonders of the
Cape Hatteras National Seashore
Park are a prime reason why ALI
gator River and Oregon Inlet
should be bridged, the State High
way Commission was told this
week.
An eight-legislator delegation
urged the Commission to snake
firm commitment" for a bridge
across the broad estuary between
Tyrrell and Dare counties.
Headed by Sen. Lindsay Warren
of Beaufort, the group said such
bridge would be of Statewide
benefit. Included in this request
was similar appeal for an Oregon
Inlet bridge.
Warren pointed out that the
unique national park on the States
windswept Outer Banks is expect
ed to be playground for mil
lion people year within the next
eight to ten years.
Others in the delegation included
Reps. Frank Everett of Martin,
Dick O'Neal of Hyde, J. NJ. Phelps
of Washington, Bruce Etheridge of
Dare, and Charles Cohoon of Tyr
rell.
Some members of the delega-
ton pointed out again that such a
bridge would also be "of great
economic benefit" to eastern coun-
ties.
Rep. Wayland Sermons of Beau
fort said he thought traffic on the
Outer Banks would "be as great
as that on the Blue Ridge Park
way" within five years.
Returning to later meeting on
Wednesday morning, the delega-
ton was reinforced by the addition
of other strong legislators. Sena-
tor Emmett Winslow of Hartford,
a former member of the State
Highway Commission, and Rep.
Ned Delamar of Pamlico lent their
support.
Commission Chairman Melville
Broughton, Jr. did tell the delega-
ton that a 1858 Commission sur
vey which recommended a toll
bridge at Alligator did not mean it
was committed to the toll idea.
Warren said the toll concept was

going mails leave at 6 and 1880
am. and pm. bound for Eliza

Manteo which has carried the mail
for some 90 years gives free, a
number of services each day that
are not required of them in the
contract, but which they do as a
matter of public spirit. For in
stance Norfolk bound mail at
11:30 is carried directly to Nor

Gus free stops are made in Curri-

the rounds in Dare County, seek
ing justification for cutting out

SMALL CRAFT BRIDGE
NEAR KITTY HAWK NOW
IS FIGURED AT $4,000

An examination of the site OF
the proposed small craft bridge
near Currituck Sound on u. S.
1853, which is being requested by
citizens of the Kitty Hawk COM
munity was made Thursday of
last week by Division Engineer,
W. N. Spruill of the Highway De-
partment.
In information given this news
paper Saturday, Mr.. Spruill said
he believes an accurate estimate
of the cost can be placed at
$4,000. An earlier unofficial esti-
mate placed the cost at $31, 900.
The original thought that a by
pass bridge costing an estimated
100000 to take care of traffic
while the proposed bridge was be-
ing built, now gives way to a plan
of building the bridge in sections.
By building three sections of 20
feet each in length, one section at
a time, traffic might be continued
over this road and the cost of the
temporary bridge saved.
The proposed bridge would have
vertical clearance of six feet
and a horizontal clearance of 20
feet.
Mr.. Spruill says this project
would not necessarily come from
Secondary Road funds, but would
have to be a special grant from
the primary road program. Secon-
dairy road funds allotted to Dare
County would not permit construc-
ton Of the project in a two year
neriod.
