HEAVY PENALTIES
IF CANVASBACK OR
REDHEADS ARE SHOT
Duck Season Opening Saturday,
Nov. l9M Calls For Sharp
Eyesight Of Hunters

Sharp eyesight will be needed
by duck hunters Saturday, Novem
Der 10Th to avoid shooting two
kinds of ducks that are on the re-
stricted list this season. Rigid en-
forcement against shooting Can
vasback and Redhead ducks has
been promised by the U. S. Wild
life Bureau. Hunters will have to
let the birds come close up, and
then it is almost impossible to tell
a female redhead from greater
scaup.
The U. S. officials advise that
there is great scarcity of canvas
back and redheads this season
They are birds greatly desired fol-
eating. The canvasback is a power
full flier, usually in Information
The hens are grayish, and the
brakes have a black breast and
rump, and white body.
The redhead hens are brown with
gray wings, and have black breast
and rump, and gray body. Any
hunter who doesn't know one duck
from another may be up against it
and will surely need an experienced
guide with him.
The daily bag limit is three ducks
on other varieties.
Up to now, the goose hunting has
been below par, due to mild wea-
Their and light winds; perhaps the
most unfavorable weather for duck
hunters and fuel dealers in many
years. Birds are not flying, but
resting comfortably most of the
time, out of range of the guns OF
hunters.

DARE'S CLAIM FOR
HURRICANE RELIEF
WOULD TAKE ALL
Projects Sought Equal TO Sum Al
located to State For All
Needy Counties

A claim filed in Raleigh re-
questing a total sum of 81 ,139 500
for Hurricane relief funds is equal
to about all the entire sum al
located to the State of North Car
,olina for the several distressed
counties, victims of Hurricane DON
ma on Sept. 18th, according to in
formation received by this news
paper. The report was prepared
and sent to Raleigh by a special
committee appointed by the Board
of County Commissioners, and
some 80 per cent of funds asked
are for projects that do not quail
fly.
OF the total sum listed 1896, 500
is asked for breakwater and other
purposes at Stumpy Point, or
more than half of all the money
available to all the counties in
North Carolina. Grants of money
will not be made for new projects,
but only for temporary relief or
repairs to existing facilities dam
aged by the hurricane.
A breakdown of the request for
Is areas in Dare, including $64,-
500 for engineering fees totals
81, 139, 500, as follows: For Stumpy
Point, 1896, 500, for Manns Harbor
So, 13O; East Lake $8,400; Mashoes
$2,970; Roanoke Island $4,000;
Colington Island $2,100; Kitty
Hawk $32,3s0; Mays Head $3.50;
Rodanthe $3.50; Salvo $500; Avon
$26, 900; Buxton $4,000; Frisco
$4,700; Hatteras $500; and Mo-
squito control $4,000.
The committee appointed to
make the survey consists Of Hor-
ace Hooper, Chairman, Frank CO.
hoon, county director of Civil De-
tense; Robert Walker, county sani-
tartan; DR.. w. w. Harvey, chair
man of the Dare Waterways Com
mittee and Lawrence Swain.
The report was completed and
filed without being submitted to
the full Board of Commissioners
who sponsor it. 1t embraces brief
ly, shore erosion, drainage and
mosquito control. However, due to
the restraints governing the awards
of Federal relief funds, it is feared
the inclusion of many projects
which do not qualify, may result
in all projects being weighed in
the same light with loss of some
projects, which qualify.

SEASHORE MAKES
lease FOR ITSELF
Saturday Evening Post Gives Big
Spread in Color TO Unique
North Carolina Area

"We drove back up the Banks,
convinced that a National Seashore
makes good case for ITSELF" says
Jim Bird, a writer from the west.
who has done a big spread in color
with a long article on the Cape
Hatteras National Seashore pub
lished in this weeks Saturday Eve
ming Post. Mr.. Bird goes thorough
ly into the subject from Whalebonn
Junction to Ocracoke Inlet, and
says in his comprehensive and
complimentary article about the
whole area, that "For our money
the village of Ocracoke retains,
more than any other settlement
on the Banks, its original, salty,
quiet charm. It lies in rather helter-
skelter pattern around a circular
harbor and seems drowsily uncon-
cerned with modern times an
influx of tourists hasn't changed
its narrow winding-streets which
saw their first automobiles just
eight years ago. Nor has it altered
the gracefully wind-twisted live
oaks and cedars or the neat frame
houses with their picket fences and
banks of Oleanders."
Mr.. Bird mentions the splendid
help given him by Park Supt.
Bob Gibbs; he refers to Aycocls
Brown, to A. S. Austin of Hatteras,
who fought the park, and Victor
Meekins of Manteo who favored it
He tells how it came in to being,
when forward looking men, (princi.
pally Lindsay Warren, and the late
w. o. Saunders of Elizabeth City,
planned the park, and brought
some $500 men to the area, and a
vast amount of money was spent il
