costs outlook for 1860:
Prices of flrm machinery and
building supplies are expected
TO climb as the influence of the
steel strike is felt. Prices of us

tinue high in relation to the cost

A FRIEND OF FISHERMEN
AGREES ON SHAD ISSUE

To the Editor,
/ have read with interest the ed
itorial in the Coastland Times of
April 18th headed Conversation
and Destruction" The editorial
stated opposition to extending the
shad season from April % to May
10.
AS stated at a public meeting
at Mann's Harbor on April End,
feel that it is a mistake to extend
the season, that the roe shad which
now sells for $50 to $1.00 would
be worth $500 if left to propagate
next year. / would like for the
people of Dare County, my home
county, to know that / expressed
this opposition to the Commercial
Fisheries Committee of the C & d
Board in Greensboro on April 18th.
As you may know, this commit
tee is guided in their decisions by
an advisory committee composed
largely of commercial fishermen.
This committee strongly backed the
extension. / felt they were wrong
and told them how felt. AS mat
ter of fact if shad fishing is ever
to be profitable again, it may be
necessary to have moratorium on
the catching of shad. Other states
have tried this with success, / have
been told.
1t appears to me that the COM
mercial fisherman's future lies not
in the catching of fish but in oys-
tering and Grabbing if no changes
are made in the fishing regula-
tions. have striven to be a friend
at court to commercial fishermen
since l have been member of the
Board of Conservation and Devel-
opment, and l shall continue to do
so as long as l am member. The
proof is on the record and COM
mercial fishermen who have at
tended meetings of the committee
know it. If the next Governor,
whoever he might be, elects to
"throw out the whole kit and ca
boodle," he'll have no opposition
from this quarter. The effort and
time simply isn't worth it to me.
In conclusion, my sy1npathies
are and will be with the CONNER
cial fisherman so long as / am u
member of the board.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
This election year is the most
mixed up mess we ever saw. We've
got so many candidates for Gov
ernor, and some of them haven't
been seen in these parts that folks
are slow to declare themselves; no.
body wants to express an opinion
l never saw time when there was
so much trading and double-cross-
ing shaping up in local affairs, for
the people themselves seem all
split up. Good neighbors are divided
because they have been disappoint-
ed in some of the men elected last
time who turned out to be double
crossers too, and only wanted to be
the big "I' and II did it all" kind
of fellows.
But from what / have seen, it
won't be year when people will al.
low someone with an axe to grind
to haul them to polls and to tell
them how to vote. There was a
time when everybody didn't have
way to ride, but now they not
only have a way to go but they
have sense enough to mark their
own ticket. Good and sensible citi-
zens are not going to allow some
one who passes them by all the
year to pick 'em up and tell 'em
how to mark their ballot.
Mr.. Editor, our folks haven't for
