WILDFOWL HUNTING GOOD
AS SEASON NEARS END

With weather conditions more
favorable for shooting the wild
fowl hunting on the Dare Coast
was showing much improvement
as the current season nears its
end in early January.
There has been a scarcity of
duck kills this season but goose
hunters have been having aver
age luck in the Mays Head flats.
The hunting in the Mays Head or
Bodie Island flats on land con-
trolled by National Park Service
depends much on which blind a
hunter draws. Drawing for blinds
takes place eacs morning at the
Ranger station on the Mays Head
Oregon Inlet highway.
Duck shooting has been fair in
the Wanchese marshes. Reports
from Hatteras indicate that brant
are plentiful and many have got
ten their limits without difficulty.
Goose shooting In the Hatteras
and Ocracoke areas has also been
reported very good recently.

MOSQUITO CONTROL
TALKED AT LENGTH
BY BOARD TUESDAY,
Meeting Next Monday TO Discuss
Tax Problems; Garbage Com
mittee Named

An improved mosquito control
program is under consideration by
the Dare County Board of Com
missioners. The Board discussed
the matter at some length during
their meeting Tuesday.
DR.. w. W. Johnston, district
health officer, accompanied by
representative of the State Board
Of Health and Pamlico County's
sanitarian gave many facts and
suggestions about improving the
present control system used in
Dare.
1t is possible that Dare may
adopt program similar to one
said to be very effective which
is now underway in Pamlico. That
county's sanitarian, Charles Nc
Cotter, explained and showed
slides of the control methods
which involve larvaciding by use
of drainage of swamps. To ac-
complish such a program it is
necessary to employ draglines for
ditching and draining mosquito
breeding areas.
In Pamlico, county with ter
rain similar to Dare four drag
lines are now employed in an eff
fective mosquito control program.
1t was suggested that perhaps
Dare could start with one dragline
to determine the effectiveness of
such q program in this county.
Several routine matters came be-
fore the commissioners on Tuesday.
By resolution the State High
way and Public Works Commits
sion was asked to complete the
paving of 1/l0th of a mile of
road in Hatteras village where
difficulty had been experienced
previously in obtaining a signed
easement from the owner of the
property.
The commissioners agreed to
build 100 feet of bulkhead in the
south end OF Stumpy Point neigh
bornood on land to be donated by
C. E. Payne.
A committee was appointed to
meet with Leonard Midget to dis
Guess and work out a system that
would give Roanoke Island bet
ter garbage collections. Named
on the committee were J. w. Da-
Wis, Daniel C. Midget and Rondal
Tllleut and they plan to meet on
January 9. The area involved in
cludes all parts of the island ex-
cept within the corporate limits
OF Manteo.
Henry Lewis, assistant director
and tax counsellor of the Insti-
tute of Government in Chapel Hill
Is scheduled to meet with the
Dare commissioners on January 8
to discuss methods and answer
questions relative to tax problems.
The thought behind this meeting
will be to improve the tax struc-
ture of Dare County.

WANCHESE HARBOR
GETS MUCH USE IN
STORMY WEATHER
TrawIer Fleet With Estimated VAL
ue of $1,000. 900 Finds I'M
provement Valuable

The million and a half dollar
improvement program for deepen
ing the Roanoke Island Oregon
Inlet channel and the harbors of
the island was paying off in a
big way this week, as more than
so big ocean trawlers sought ref
uge at Wanchese during rough
weather and rough seas offshore.
Weather conditions had made
it impossible to fish off the Out
err Banks. But instead of making
a trip of more than 100 miles to
ports previously used by the
fleet, the trawlers were able to
reach safe waters at Wanchese
through Oregon Inlet, only a few
miles from where the boats were
operating when stormy weather
started.
One observer estimated that the
some 60 trawlers in port would
have an average of between $685.
600 and $4,000 each. On that ba-
sis Wanchese harbor provided a
safe place of refuge for a fleet
valued at more than $2,O00,000.
In addition to serving as a hor-
Dor of refuge, Wanchese is also
providing a place for trawlers to
discharge their catches of fish
quickly and return to the fishing
grounds offshore, it was stated.

MOUNTAIN HUNTERS

MAINS HARBOR.-Two bear
had been killed in the big woods
of Dare County's mainland last
week by a group of hunters head
ed by Roy Wiseman of Spruce
Pines. A third bear, and the larg-
est got away on Wednesday, but
the hunters believe it was wound
ed and concentrated the hunt in
the vicinity where it was last
seen.
The hunters from the mountains
Of western North Carolina and
eastern Tennessee brought their
own packs of bear hounds which
were being used with the pack Of
Is owned by Lloyd Midget, their
guide. The first two bear bagged
weighed about IS and 1875 pounds
each while the one that got away
was estimated to have scaled at
400 pounds.

killed the largest bear of the sea-
son in the Manns Harbor section
last year is hunting with the par
ty. He is the son Of Roy Wiseman
The biggest bear believed seri-
ously wounded was never found
Total bag of bear for the noun

ers made their headquarters.

CAPT. TOM BASNlGHT
RETlRES AS SKIPPER:
DANIELS IS PROMOTED

Capt. Thomas Allen Basnight,
after 38 years of service with the
Division of Commercial Fisheries,
N. C. Department of Conservation
and Development, retired January
/ from his position as skipper of
the "Croatan." Arnold Daniels Of
Wanchese, who has been employed
as engineer and assistant to Capt.
Basnight for some two years, has
been promoted to the rank of cap
tain.
"Capt. Tom" began his career
in 1922 aboard the Gretchen as
engineer under the late Theo. S.
Meekins, then serving as captain,
in addition to the post of assist
ant commissioner. Other vessels
and more shippers followed, name
ly the Katie Ann, later known as
the Albemarle; and under the
late Capt. Ed Spencer of Swan
Quarter and Capt. Levin Dudley
of Hatteras.
He became captain of the Abe
marie in 1885 and has held the
post ever since. During the years
following up to the time Of re-
tirement, the responsibilities Of
inspections, tax collections, law
endorsements, net limits and ad-
vice to fishermen in general have
been upon him. His services have
been greatly appreciated by those
engaged in commercial as well as
sports fishing.
The present vessel, the Croa-
tan, was put in service in 1889.
The post he has held for 80
man years has at times carried
him from the Virginia line to
South Carolina carrying out his
duties. In late years, though, the
Divisions operations have sonae-
what restricted the travel to the
immediate sounds, since several
other state-operated boats of this
nature are based along the coast.
Capt. Basnight stated this week
that he had no immediate plans
for activity in retirement, but his
wife, Mary assured him that plen-
ty Of activity was available in the
form Of chores around the house

DREDGE FRIENDSHIP" SINKS
IN OCRACOKE HARBOR

OCRACOKE, Jan. 3. - The
dredge Friendship" sank in the
entrance to Ocracoke harbor, ear
Iy Monday morning. It is owned
by the Hodges Dredging Company
of New Bern and Mr.. Hodges and
a salvage company representative
flew in on Monday to look over
the situation and arrange for
salvage. The dredge had complet-
ed its work on the entrance to
the harbor, and was just about
to leave for Wallace Channel for
dredging work there. 1t has pre-
viously dredged Wainwright Slue.
Fortunately it sank on one edge
of the harbor entrance, where the
water was comparatively shallow,
so that at this time small fishing
boats can get in and out of the
harbor. Cause of the sinking is
said to be unknown; there has
been some leakage; the dredge
had taken on q good deal of fuel
oil for its Wallace Channel work
on Saturday. Two-thirds of the
superstructure Is above water lev
el.
