BID REJECTED FOR FERRY
CHANNEL AT OREGON INLET

A bid of $4,000 received by the
State Highway Commission last
week, submitted by Atkinson
Dredging Co., of Norfolk was re-
jected as being in excess of engi-
neers estimates. This bid was for
the dredging of the ferry boat
channel at Oegon Inlet where so
much trouble has resulted since the
first of December. It is estimated
that the necessary work could
have been done at that time for
$4,000 to $4,000 while there were
several dredges in the vicinity, but
highway Engineers opposed doing
the work, and when finally it was
determined that the work had to
be done, the dredges had been re-

NEW OCEAN PIER
AT KDH OPENING
THIS WEEK END

KILL DEVIL HILLS. - Compile
ton is being made to the new Ava
lon Pier at Kill Devil Hills, and
according to announcement from
officials of the corporation it will
be opened to the public this week
end on mo admission charged
basis until fish begin to bite. c..
A. York, president of Avalon Pier
Corporation, and Parson L. Powell,
vice-president, will be on hand most
of the time during beginning opera
tons. Neither are newcomers to the
area, York having been active for
several years in real estate, build
ing supply and other ventures
along the beach. Powell formerly
owned Ocean View Cottage Court
at Kill Devil Hills, but disposed
of this interest some time ago.
Waters of the ocean where the
new Avalon Pier is located are in
the vicinity of two submerged
shipwrecks, the Paraguay and the
Carl Gerhard, which foundered
about 35 years ago. Marine growth
on the wrecks have proven a big
attraction for fish which use the
area as one of their favorite feed
ing grounds, and some excellent
catches have been made in the surf
there through the years. 1t was
near the location of the new pier
in Kill Devil Hills that Art Clark
of Fox Chase Manor, Pa, brought
in a world record 61k pound chan
mel bass on II pound test line in
1854 record that is yet un-
broken.
Whiting (sea mullet), croaker,
bluefish, and a variety of other
fishes are plentiful in the Dare
Beaches surf and are taken in great
numbers by pier anglers each
year.

LESSONS GAINED
FROM INDUSTRIAL
MEETING IN WAYNE
Eastern Carolina Considered
States Most Promising From
tier For Development

The Eastern North Carolina In
dustrial Meeting in Goldsboro last
week pointed up many sharp lessons
to observers about the business of
creating and attracting industries.
Speakers declared Eastern North
Carolina to be a real frontier for
industry, with more to offer to-
wards it's substantial development
than any other part of the state.
Speaker after speaker appeared
on morning and afternoon sessions
with solid information and sugges-
tions. James A. Babcock, Westing-
house plant manager explained
what industry look for in COM
munity. A worthwhile industry
does not look for handouts, but it
expects to become contributing
member of the community, he ex-
planned. What industry does look
for is responsible local govern
ment that will add up to a healthy
climate for all citizens.
To make it a safe locality for
industry, it must have a number
of things beside a stable supply Of
labor, for labor will locate where
there is a stable industry. The
community must have adequate
school facilities; an adequate
health program, and law enforce
ment that is not a joke. In any
community, where this has been re-
quired by its citizenship, there need
be no fear that industry will not
prosper and become increasingly
useful and helpful.
Governor Luther Hodges, who
spoke at luncheon which grew
in attendance beyond first plans,
had apparently done the state a
fine service back in February when
he said Eastern North Carolina was
tagging in effort to establish in
dustry. Governor Hodges hi d
stirred up the people. If they are
not prepared to establish industries,
they surely are interested in find
ing out something about the BUSH
ness of getting them. John Davis,
Burlington garment manufacturer,
told how TO develop an industry

OYSTERMEN MEET
AT MAINS HARBOR;
RESULTS IN DOUBT
Without Restrictions Against
Stripping Natural Beds A
Loss May Result

Some 80 people met at Manns
Harbor Saturday afternoon, OF
whom not more than half were
oystermen, and which had been
called to express the views of the
fishermen with respect to oyster
planting in N. C. waters this year,
The meeting was attended by
Gehrman Holland of Beaufort
State Fisheries Commissioner, sew
eral members of his staff and by
Lorimer W. Midget, of Elizabeth
City, a member of the Board OF
Conservation and Development.
A petition had been signed and
sent to the Department, heavily
opposing the planting of oysters
in Dare County waters. The bene.
fits that may come from this policy
are doubtful, since the fishermen
also wanted Dare County oysters
left alone. But while no planting
is granted, there was no assurance
given that oysters won't be taker
from the area and carried to other
places, and this is a situation which
brought about the objections in the
first place.
For there has been complaint
from oystermen at Stumpy Point
and Wanchese for several years
that too many oysters are being
dredged up and carried away to
distant points, to the detriment Of
the industry in Hyde and Dare
Counties.
Mr.. Holland stated that no oyster
planting this year will take place
in Dare, Hyde, Pamlico and Car
teret, but in some counties farther
south planting will be done. He
said some permits had been issued
already to persons who wished to
get oysters for planting.

co. BOARD
TO MEET MONDAY
AT CAPE HATTERAS
To Be at School at | PM;
Health Center Conference
in Morning

The Dare County Board of Com
missioners has scheduled special
meeting of the Board at Cape Hat
teras High School at 1 pm. Mon
day, April 18th for the convenience
of any citizens of Hatteras Island
who wish to bring matters of spe-
cial interest to attention of the
Board and the public is invited to
attend.
Among items which may be dis
cussed is the complaint about the
garbage situation at Hatteras,
which is objected to on the ground
that the garbage from two town
ships is all being brought to Hat
teras and dumped, adding to un-
sightliness and makes for a health
menace.
Another important matter is the
proposal to vote on a bond issue
whereby special tax can be levied
to maintain a modern Health cen
ter in Hatteras township.
Prior to the meeting of the Com
missioners, a conference will be
held between Board members, the
trustees of the Cape Hatteras
Health Center and VIM. F. Hender-
son, Executive Secretary of the
N. C. Medical Care Commission Of
Raleigh, relative to the proposal
for the new health center.
The Board members plan to visit
the air strip now under construc-
ton at Frisco, during the visit.
On issue which may be brought
before the Board is the sentiment
of the people of Hatteras Island
toward paying special tax tc
build a Jail at Buxton which is
now being urged by several peo-
pie of the community as neces.
sity for law and order.

HATTERAS ISLAND
NJ E-A R RODANTHE
Work Begins on 700 Foot Strue-
fure TO be Owned by R. D.
Ovens. Terrell Brothers

Construction of 700 foot ocean
pier for fishing purposes near the
village at Rodanthe has begun, &C.
cording to r. D. Owens, motel
operator who is associated with the
Terrell Brothers, lumber dealers of
Moyock. Mr.. Owens expects to open
the pier for business in June. It
will be "a feet wide. the widest
yet of the fishing piers on the Dare
coast, and is the first to be built
on Hatteras Island. It is located
opposite Mr.. Owens Chicamacomi-
CO Motel established in 1854.
Near this spot are several ship
wrecks, which are noted for good
surf fishing locations. In fact, the
Rodanthe area is considered tops
for surf-casting. The village is
famed for the many members of
the Coast Guard service it has
produced, and the many notable
rescues they made Of mariners i'm
periled by the sea. From the near
by Life Saving Station, Capt. John
Allen Midget led his crew to the
rescue of the crew of the torpedoed

PRECINCT TO
NOT BE DISCONTINUED

Colington voting precinct in
Dare County, which had been
scheduled TO be consolidated with
Kill Devil Hills has been granted
a respite and will continue to func-
tion this year at least, Chairman
Jack Tillett of the Dare County
Boald of elections said yesterday.
Coington had been slated TO go
out, along with Mashoes and Duck,
which last named have small
number OF voters. A delegation of
Colington citizens, consisting of AL
bert O'Neal, Sylvester Perry, Ray
mond Perry, Ernest Haywood with
Walter Perry of Kill Devil Hills
organized an appeal in behalf Of
the precinct of Colington, which
normally casts about so votes.
The move TO consolidate precincts
came about, Mr.. Tillett said, be-
cause of lack of interest among
voters, in view of the insufficiency
of funds budgeted for elections. It
costs about So, 400 for each election
held in the county, and some $3.50
to the precinct made it cost the
some $12 or more for each vote
cast by Mashoes, which is now to
be consolidated with Manns Har-
Dor.
Duck casts about 1S votes, and
these votes cost about So apiece to
service, and this box will be con-
solidated with Kitty Hawk, with
voting at the nearer new Kitty
Hawk school.
The precinct of Trent on Hat
teras Island is the next smaller
precinct 10 be considered later for
consolidation. In the last primary
it cast only As votes, and in some
elections has cast as little as nine
votes, same as Mashoes and Duck.
Unless voters show more interest,
other precincts may come under
the scrutiny of the Board Of Elec-
ton for consolidation.

CURRITUCK COUNTY EFFORT
TOWARD OCEAN BOULEVARD
GETS WIDE ENCOURAGEMENT
Forty County and Town Officials at Princess
Anne Courthouse Wednesday Witness Ex-
pressions Of Unanimous Enthusiasm For Vr-
ginia Beach to Kitty Hawk Road; Future
Mee+inqs Planned

The long-dreamed of scenic ocean
boulevard some 40 miles along the
ocean shore of Princess Anne,
Cu1rituck and Dare Counties, was
viewed Tuesday at a meeting in
Princess Anne, Va, as something
that might easily be accomplished
in three years. Some 40 officials
attended.
Merrill Evans of Ahoskie, a
former State Highway Commits
sioner and a Cur1ituck native told
the group that many difficulties
which had delayed building of the
road had been eliminated, and he
believed its worth to North Caro-
lima was now sufficiently apparent
that its construction could result
in three years as a result of the
prevailing favorable sentiment at
this time.
The Princess Anne County Board
of Supervisors We're hosts to dele
cation from the County Boards of
Commissioners of Dare and Curri-
tuck Counties and the Virginia
Beach Town Board. The meeting
resulted from an invitation from
the Currituck County board to the
other Boards represented. Led by
Chairman H. D. Newbern of
Powells Point, and with Currituck
County Attorney Wilton Walker,
the entire Currituck Board attend
ed.
Mr.. Walker was named tempo
rary chairman of a committee of
20 others,-five from each group,
to be appointed later, to give fur
Their study to the proposition.
Attending from Dare County
were Major ]. L. Murphy of Kill
Devil Hills, President of the All
Seashore Highway Association
which has been advocating this
boulevard for several years; George
Croker, Jr., President, and Wal
ter Perry of Kill Devil Hills, rep
resented the Mays Head Chamber
of Commerce. A committee sent
from the Dare Board of Commits
sers consisted of Victor Meekins
of Manteo and Woodrow Edwards
of Waves.
Various members of the group
were called upon for remarks about
the project. Meekins told the group
that Dare County was glad to join
with a good neighbor Currituck in
its worthy endeavors, and said the
movement came more appropriately
from Currituck, since Dare, having
been SO heavily favored during the
past year in road projects, could
not with good grace be in any
demanding position. Only a very
short stretch of the proposed road
is in Dare, but most of it is in
Currituck, and some 20 miles in
Princess Anne County, Va.
Meekins and Walker said they
were opposed to any toll road pro-
position in North Carolina, a po-
