NO SERIOUS INJURIES
IN FRIDAY NIGHT MlSHAP
IN DOWNTOWN MANTEO

Nelva L. Capps of Manteo es-
capped injury in an auto accident
which occurred in front of Bur-
rus Food Center Friday night. H.
w. Pridgen, highway patrolman
reports that the Capps auto, a 1854
Chevrolet, was struck while Capps
was sitting behind the wheel of
his parked vehicle. The auto col
liding with him was 1851 Chevro-
let driven by Steve Midget, 16, of
Rodanthe.
Five persons with Midget re-
ceived injuries of a minor nature
from the collision. Steve Midget,
received cut lip in the accident
which is reported to have occurred
at around 10 pm. Others injured
in the mishap include: Charles Ed
wards and Michael, Clarencs and
George Midget all of Waves.
Steve Midget is said to have
swerved into the left hand lane of
the street before coming into con-
tact with the parked auto. He has
allegedly attributed the accident to
the glare of approaching headlights
from an oncoming automobile.
Patrolman Pridgen has stated
that investigation into the accident
is not complete and that charges
have not yet been preferred. Dam.
age to the Moore vehicle is said to
have been $3.50, while the Capps
auto was injured to an estimated
extent of $3.50.

FOUL WEATHER; LOW WATER
HAMPERS TRAvvLER FlSHING

Bad weather and shallow chan
nels have hurt trawlers fishing al
Wanchese during the past two
weeks. Ronda Tillett, captain OF
the "Chief Wanchese" reports that
We've had only about two days OF
good weather during the past IA
days" Tillett stated that catches
worth as little as $50 had been
reported by some trawlers during
the past two weeks, as contrasted
with previous low of $500 DUR
ing the first week in January.
Founders and grey trout have
been the strongest catches" he
said.
Fishing opportunities for larger
boats at Wanchese have been ex-
tremely limited, according to Til
lett, because of the shallow water
in the channels which make it al
most impossible for boats over S3
feet in length to enter at Wanchese.
According to local trawler captains,
boats as long as 110 feet could en-
ter this time last year without DIFF
ficulty. The channel from the inlet
to the harbor is now repeatedly only
$40 feet in depth as contrasted
with its IL foot depth capacity.
The worst conditions are said to be
at the turn from the main juno
tion bend approaching Wanchese.
The main difficulty, insofar as
the channels are concerned, is that
the dredges currently in use by the
District Engineers are not big
enough to do an adequate job, say
most of the Wanchese captains.
While stressing the need for a
jetty at Oregon Inlet, the officials
at Wanchese have emphasized the
need for bigger dredges and more

DOUBLE VICTORY
FRIDAY NIGHT FOR
MANTEO REDSKINS

The Manteo Redskins PLAYED
their finest basketball games
OF the season here on Friday
night In the Manteo High School
Gym as they chalked up victories
against the boys and girls quintets
from Camden.
Coach Jerry Cahoon,s charges
held their lead throughout the sec

Cahoon reports that he was well
pleased with their performance.
Dionne Tillett was high scorer for
the local five. Alma Etheridge was
runner-up for scoring honors, while
Nancy Basnight and Gloria Perry
were outstanding defensively.
The Manteo boys were hard
pressed in their effort to overcome
a four point deficit at time,
but managed TO pull the contest out
of the fire in the, closing minutes
of the game for 51-45 win over
the Camden five.
Coach Basnight's Redskins were
trailing by Is points at the end of
the first quarter, but an impressive
performance by Bruce Shepherd,
who contributed 16 points in the
winning cause, and Jerry Simpson,
who ball-hawked the entire even
ing, finally paid off. Shepherd was
high scorer for both teams with his
16 point contribution. Other high
scorers for Manteo included D..
Midgett with nine and Simpson
with seven. Harrison, with IL
points led the Camden attack.
The Manteo Redskins will play
