OcRAcOKE FERRY PROJECT
< REVIVED BY CARTERET CO.

From the home county Of the
Taylor Brothers who built the
ferry-boat Sea Level, and operat-
ed it between Carteret County,
and Ocracoke for some five and
a half months this year, came
strong action this week when al
number of officials journeyed to|
Raleigh to intercede with the
Highway Commission to rescind
it's action of last week. Then the
commission turned down a propo$-
al to buy the boat and operate
the ferry. The Governor had sig
nified he would provide SITS, 900
emergency funds, but the Com
mssioners were scared off because
of the likely necessity of having
to put on a second boat to handle
the business, and claimed they
lacked the money for this.
Strong support was wire d
Wednesday to Raleigh when the
group met with Highway Chair
man J. NJ. Broughton, Jr., by Ay-
cock Brown of the Dare County
tourist bureau. Mr.. Broughton
promised to lay the new proposal
before the Commission soon. The
delegation itself said one ferry
would not meet the needs of the
public. 1t was represented to Mr..
Broughton that the ferry during
the period operated carried $500
cars and 178 vehicles with trail
ers, and 1855 adults and 1924
children, with a total income of
about $4,000.
Mr.. Broughton was quick to set
straight the statement that the
east has been ignored in road
matters and enumerated numerous
projects running into many mil
lions recently allocated to the
area.
Observers watching the scene
from the sidelines believe the
ferry service will be resumed.
most likely to Cedar Island instead
of Atlantic, and that it's going to
take three boats to make even a
creditable showing. Those most
eager at this time, to get the
ferry going, express willingness
for toll proposition, but this is
objected to from several sources
on the ground that it would be
severely enalizing visitors to the
area. and is against established
policy of the State.

MAY HAVE
BROUGHT STRANGE BIRD

Off its normal flyway, a CHINA
mon teal, rarely seen along the
Atlantic coast, was bagged by
from a Roanoke Sound blind near
Manteo by Allen L. Mann and
Seldom Midget, Manteo hunters
this week. 1t was the second time
that this species has ever been
reported along the North Carolina
coast.
The first was reported from
Lake Mattamuskeet in 1885, ac-
cording to the recently published
North Carolina Book of Birds.
r. B. Lennon, a former game
warden who has been hunting
ducks at one time or another
along the Dare Coast for the past
so years stated that it was the
first duck of this species he had
ever seen.
Supt. Robert Gibbs of the Cape
Hatteras National Seashore help
ed identify the bird or little wa
terfowl. He stated that he had
killed cinnamon teal in Texas
when assigned to National Park
Service duties there.
They were first reported in the
Western Hemisphere by wind
jammer sailors who had gone
ashore in the Straits of Magellan
during the early 10th century.
When migrations to western
United States began shortly aft
forwards it was learned that Gin
namon teal nested in Utah, Ore
gon and other sectors across the
continent.
Recent billiards. in the south
west may have been the reason
the cinnamon teal, which Mann
plans to have mounted, appeared
in Dare.

Attention to Detail
Is Food Budget Key

and other factors like changing
prices.
Plan your meals to include
nutritive requirements, in prop
err amounts; milk, meat, vege-
tables. fruit, bread and cereal.
Teenagers will require more
energy foods than fairly mac
tive adults. Don't forget appe-
title and eye-appeal as you plan
your meals.
. Consider cost as you plan
menus and shopping lists.
Study newspapers and use
other sources to learn the
plentiful foods. They're the best
buys.
Include in your plans a
place for foods on hand and
leftovers. These have already
been bought and paid for-they
should be used.
You are spending the food
dollar wisely If you make selec-
tons by comparative buying.
Visit various stores, shop when
they're not crowded, watch for
special sales and study labels.
Foods are packaged or canned
for various purposes and a wise
shopper buys according to their
use.

Outdoor Picnic
Plans Geared
To Fire Rules

Montgomery County families
planning outdoor picnics are adj
vised by the University of Mary
land Agricultural Extension
Service to plan their menus in
accordance with prohibitive reg
ulations In effect at some picnic
sites.
Most public picnic and camp
ing areas have strict rules con-
corning the building of fires and
some prohibit fires entirely-in
which case pre-cooking of all
food is essential, the service
noted.
At campsites which restrict
building of fires to fireplaces
or specified areas, advance res
eivations are advisable for large
groups. since the facilities some
times are inadequate to meet
the demands of impromptu Wis
itors.
