ness is favorable the service will
remain, and in the spring addition

SO FOOTER PLANNED
FOR OREGON INLET
by COAST GUARD
Study Being Made Since New
Channel Was Dredeed; Future
Needs Will Be Met

The assignment of an 83-foot
patrol boat at Oregon Inlet to be
used in conjunction with the Coast
Guard Life Boat station now is as
sured as result of the inlet chan
mel having been deepened to IL
feet, all the way into Wanchese and
to Manteo. Looking forward to the
need of such service now with the
prospect of many larger type YES
sells using this inlet, Victor Meek
ms, Chairman of the Dare County
Board last week went to Norfolk
to bring this subject to attention
of the District office of the Coast
Guard.
1t was pointed out, that some
stations with far less traffic than
that of Oregon Inlet are now pro-
vided with this service.
Coast Guard officials assured
Meekins a survey would be made to
determine if this place and others
warranted a deployment of yes,
sells in line with the request. The
officials were sympathetic and ex-
pressed awareness of considerable
possibilities for heavier traffic
through the inlet by large trawlers
and other vessels.

ing an elaborate systems of beacons

TWO FAMOUS HYDE
EXPECTED
TO TOP RECORDS
Both Indian Corn and Wild Geese
Promise Top Season Despite
Hurricane Donna

Two things for which Hyde
County is particularly famed are
wild geese and corn. Here where
the corn grows IA feet high, and
usually yields 100 bushels to the
acre; and here where the greatest
number of Canada geese come for
the winter, the whole county is
looking forward to it's biggest sea-
son ever.
One only has to ride around the
rim of Lake Mattamuskeet with
it's present enormous concentration
of geese, as we'll as ducks, to rea-
lie that guides and others are
correct in saying the most geese
that have come to Hyde in many
years are already here. Some old
folks say it is a sign we are 60
ing to have a mighty severe win
ter.
From Richard Lee Gibbs, of
Engelhard who is the biggest grain
factor in the area, one may learn
that all signs point to as big a
yield of corn as the enormous crop
of 1859, despite the damage done
by Hurricane Donna in September.
Fortunately, the corn had matured,
and some Of it had already been
harvested.
Last years corn crop was esti-
mated at a million bushels.
An estimated 20 per cent loss
will result to the soybean crop, it
is believed, but part of this damage
comes from a strange new weevil
which has invaded the bean crop,
probably attracted by the humidity
following the storm. However,
there had been some increase in
acreage, and soybean production
will be no small thing. Last years
soybean crop was estimated at
100000 bushels.

ance bonds.
The case of D. A. Rogers, Jr.,

fled that the deceased was walking

for driving while drunk.
Three defendants from Norfolk
did lot of stealing on the beach,

CAMPERS PAID OFF;
coast GUARD AIDED
THE HATERAS ROAD
Highway To Become Part OF Fed.
eral Road System; Helps
Oregon Inlet Bridge

An important factor bearing
weight in the decision of Federal
Roads authorities to put the Hat
teras Island Road on the Federal
system is believed to have been
testimony of Supt. Robert Gibbs
of the Seashore Park about the un-
usually large number of campers
who come to Cape Hatteras camp
ground along with other tourists
visiting this part which extends
from Mays Head to Ocracoke In
let.
Another important factor in the
decision was the strong support
given by the U. S. Coast Guard
District Office in Norfolk, at the
direction of Rear Admiral Peter v
Colmar, in the opinion of Victor
Meekins, Chairman of the Dare
County Board, who assisted state
highway officials in assembling
argument concerning the import
ance of this road when Federal of.
ficials came to Dare County ir
August. Meekins says Director Bill
Babcock and Division Engineer
Bill Spruill did a remarkable jot
in behalf of the road.
The road has been in a bad state
of repairs for some years. Bull
with limited funds during preced'
ing administrations, it has never
been a first class road. The fast
increase in traffic had given II
terrific wear. Early in the year
Meekins, with Woodrow Edwards
of Waves and Geo. Fuller Of Bux-
ton, representing the County Board
went to Raleigh and made strong
appeal to the Governor and high
way officials, stating that there
was urgent need for repairing the
road. Governor Hodges approved
an emergency appropriation of suf'
ficient funds to not only re-sur-
face the road, but to make it two
feet wider. Previously, Federal
authorities would not consider il
