Concert Sunday
Greatly Enjoyed

A high quality performance oy
artists combining piano and cello
concluded the 1961-62 Alaska Mu-
sic Trails concert series Monday
evening at the high school audi
torium.
Ornella Santoliquido at the pi-
ano and Massimo Amfitheatrof,
eminent Italian cellist, offered a
varied and interesting program of
music especially composed for
these two instruments, by Beetho-
ven, Bach, Ravel, Bloch, Cyril
Scott and Richard Strauss.
A spirited and capable perform
ance of the Concerto in d minor
by Vivaldi-Stradal, played by Or
nella Santoliquido was followed by
the first major work on the pro-
gram combining the two instru-
ments, Beethoven's Seven Varia-
tons on "Bei Maennern Welche
Liebe fuehlen" from Mozart's
1.-THE Magic Flute"
The brilliant matching of the
two instruments by the master
Beethoven and the combined per-
Torrance of these two artists made
this memorable performance.
Of particular enjoyment to the
writer was the performance OF
the Variations and the concluding
Sonata in F Major, Opus 6, by
Richard Strauss.
Truly a master of his instru-
ment, Amfitheatrofs cello would
sing, soar or respond with tonal
effects from bagpipe notes to that
of a mere whisper at the touch
of his nimble fingers.
The artists graciously responded
with an encore, which concluded
an evening of rare musical en-.
joyment.

Dungeness Crab
Pot Limit Urged

The Alaska Board of Fish and
Game is urged to adopt CONNER
cial fishing rules and regulations
limiting the number of crabpots
for the harvesting of dungeness
crab to $50 crabpots in the waters
off Cape Sucking south to Cape
Spencer, by House Resolution No.
SO introduced in the legislature
by the house resources committee.
The resolution takes note of the
abundance of Dungeness Crab in
that region and of the fact that
no limitations presently exist
which controls the number of crab
pots which may be used for OBJ
tanning dungeness crab.

HOW ABOUT IT AGAIN, GOVERNOR?

IT is AWAY an unpleasant experience to have to re-
gister a complaint, but there can be no overlooking the fact
that we in this corner still look for cooperation from the Gov
ernorS office in the matter of receipt OF releases. Just why the
matter poses such a problem is mystery to US. Within a few
minutes information can be teletyped to the Government office
here. Nor is their any problem in timing releases 50 that re-
ceipt is uniform, as to time.
O LON G a series of incidents, including a radio
broadcast which was unfair to the press, to say the least, Great
ed a stir in these parts. Governor Paiewonsky acted promptly,
forthrightly, and in a manner which won for him added res
peer ana admiration. That incident closed on a satisfactory
note.
U WE are back where we were, struggling
along in this matter Of getting releases to the press. There is
no need to go into a long discussion of the merits Of an inform
ed and enlightened popuace. That is well known. There is no
need to discuss further the fact that none of the national press
services feed into this place. The concern here is merely to get
the Governors office to follow up and honor its commitments
in this particular area.
II IT IS not too much to ask that this matter
again receive the attention of the Governor. There is conf
dence here that he intended to follow through on what he
undertook to do, and since this is such a small purely routine
matter, the follow through should be very easy indeed. Yet, on
the other hand, failure to act in this connection can place this
island at a decided disadvantage, andw are sure that neither
the Governor nor his staff wants to falter on their commit
ments.

BEST IN rs YEARS
ANGLERS TESTIFY
ON BLUEFISH RUN
Bluefish Catches From Surf,
Sea or Sound Waters
Are Whoppers

Bluefish catches on the Outer
Banks are the best in 25 years.
Old timers from Currituck to
Ocracoke have indicated that the
phenomenal run of blues is the
best seen on the coast since the
193Os.
Whether the angler has been
trolling the sounds at Oregon
and Hatteras Inlets, casting
the surf or fishing from ocean
piers, the results have all been
the same-fantastic!
Capt. Lee Perry, skipper of
the charter cruiser "Deepwater"
has stated that: "Our parties
have caught from 200 to 400
blues daily, for a total in excess
of 5000 in 10 days." With Is OF
more cruisers operating consis-
tently in the area, observers
have reported that more than
$4,000 blues have been taken
with lures by parties trolling
in the wake of charter boats at
Oregon Inlet. Additional thou
sands have been taken from Hat
teras Inlet and the adjacent wa
ters of Pamlico Sound.
Best proof of the fantastic
run is evidenced by the fact
that thousands more Of the
scrappy' fighters, all mostly in
the one to two pound class
have been reeled in by anglers
fishing from the surf. Surf fish
ing is said to be terrific at Hat
teras Island, and from the five
ocean piers between Kitty Hawk
and Hatteras Inlet.

fishing center at the west end OF

bridge has reported that many

PLANE WRECKAGE
IN TYRRELL co.
INVESTIGATED

A crew of West Virginia
workmen have uncovered rem
nants of an ADA Skyraider
while working in the swamps
approximately 80 miles south
of Columbia. Navy records
have revealed that three AD4s
were lost in the Virginia-North
Carolina Dismal Swamp area
during a period between 1855
and 1868, and an investigation
of the wreckage has been order
ed.
Remnants of a wing and tail
section were discovered by a
logging crew of the West Vir-
ginia Pulp and Paper Co. last
Thursday and serial numbers of
these parts have been forward
to Douglas Aircraft Co. for
positive Identification of the
plane.
An investigation board COM
posed of two officers from the
Oceana Naval Air Station is
now said to be trying to Identify
the aircraft and determine the
circumstances surrounding its
crash. A Navy spokesman has
said that the base location for
the plane cannot be determined
until a bureau number for the
plane is established. The bureau
number will aid in learning
whether a pilot was lost in the
crash, he said.
Investigators have indicated
that the cockpit area and fuse
lage are buried at an undeter-
mined depth in the mud and
water of the swamp. Efforts
are being continued to recover
parts of the aircraft.

Manteo has its Alpheus
Drinkwater who is nationally
famous by virtue of the associa-

for Conservation in Tyrrel

vationist Clyde S. Sawyer be-
lieves it will prevent floods like
the one just experienced.
Structural features of the
project will include dixie sc
#. high, which will keep flood
water out of Gum Neck. A
pumping station will be built
to pump water out of the COM
munity. The station will have a
capacity of about 100000 gal
Ions water per mintue. Tide
gates, eight of them, will be
installed to allow excessive rain
water to flout. New canals will
be cut and existing canals i'm
proved to carry water from the
farm land to the pumps and tide
gates. Individual landowners in
Gum Neck will be installing
lateral bitches, conservation
cropping systems, cover crops
crop residue, field borders, sur
face inlets and other conserva-
ton practices to take advan-
tage of their watershed project
The community will soor
have a new look, protected
from flooding, with an i'm
proved conservation program

Strong winds associated with
the Atlantic Storm of March the
7th drove water into Gum Neck
Community in Tyrrell County.
1t was the highest since 1888
local residents say. Low temp
eratures, strong winds, rain,
snow, and the high water, add
ed up to a bad day in Gum
Neck. Residents of the comun-
ity suffered considerable loss
but nothing compared to what
the loss would have been had
there been crops in the fields.
Gum Neck has long been
plagued with the problems Of
flooding and poor outlet condi-
tions for draining the excellent
farm land of the community.
The local people hope this will
be the storm that will inundate
their land. They have been

ward a watershed project. The

CAMPAIGN LIvENS

Outcome in Three Dare Races
Is Anybody's Guess

By POLLY TICKEN
Especial C0rrespOndent)

II you couldn't find your
druggist, oil man or attorney
this week, don't feel neglected.
The three candidates for the
General Assembly, who occupy
those positions, had all sue
cumbed to the three P disease
by Wednesday of this week and
were beating the bushes and
briar patches of Dare on the
campaign trail. Three Ps? Pre-
Primary Panic, that's what. Less
'Sihan 10 days remain before the
May 26 primary.
The outcome still seems as un-
certain as the future of the Bux-
ton Inlet, but a few humorous
incidents were reported which
seemed to break the montonous
but profitable round of baby
kissing and handshaking.
One of the cigar-passing can
didates made the fatal mistake
of offering a smoke to a pros
pective voter who was moving
.his lawn at Manns Harbor.. The
skeptical voter was quick to as
sure the politician that she'd
consider a few turns with the
lawn mower as a much bigger
favor"
The candidate declined and
one of his opponents, anxious to
ssaake political hay (or grass)
out of the incident, was over the
next day pushing the mower and
perspiration from his brow to
the delight of the neighborhood.

which also promises lively in
