Toms Cove Oysters Favored By Epicureans World Over Chincoteague Island Likewise Is Known for Harboring Shucking Plants. BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. N THESE “R” months the succu- l lent oyster is king on Chincoteague Island. Its Toms Cove products bear a monarch's scepter as surely as any ruler of the long ago. To many # sea-food connoisseur, Chincoteague Island spells epicurean recollections of Toms Cove oysters rather than its more widely heralded wild pony pennings of which the world is gradually coming to hear once every mid-Summer. ‘Washington, as soon as the frost is | on the “punkin” and the chill No- vember breezes begin to blow, usually comes in direct contact with Chin- coteague Island sea products at its water-way front door. Here at the wholesale wharves the Chincoteague *“oyster cap'ns” put in about Wednes- day or Thursday of each week that there isn't a “solid” freeze-over of the Chesapeake Bay. Known for Flavors. Quite as a matter of fact these Chincoteague oystermen brush aside the annual pony pennings with some such remark as “yes, more and more mainland folks do seem to find their way over every year.” But it is with real pride they tell you “a Chincotea- Two of Largest usually included an overnight stay. Then came the era of “‘engine boats” with more or less regular schedules for the transportation of mail, pas- sengers and supplies, and the air so filled with the hum of motors that it | seemed as if a perpetual swarm of | mosquitos were buzzing about. Within the last quarter of a cen- tury, mainly through the vision and | persistence of John B. Whealton, one | of Chincoteague’s native sons and the descendant of one of its first settlers, Chincoteague has been connected with the mainland by a modern draw- bridge. This resulted in not only aysters, but fish, clams and other types | of Chincoteague’s briny treasures being | trucked over it directly to the hos- telries in New York, Philadelphia, ‘Wilmington or farther afield. Aero- | plane transportation, ‘a strange mod- ern anachronism, has often been quite casually employed within the past few years for special de luxe (orders by Chincoteague's packing houses.

Eventually the brothers wisely petitioned the British crown for equal grants on the island. A certain portion of the southern side of the island was given to one brother and a like share on the northern to the other with what iz now Church street as the dividing line, ‘Through correspondence with Eng- lish friends, they induced men from the Bowdoin, Watson and Jester families to join them on their “blessed isle by the sea.” They, too, married Indian maidens, and the influence of these first families with their sturdy, thrifty progeny, has ever since been dominant on Chincoteague; along with that of the descendants of William Kendall of Accomac Co sity, for yhom in 1692 the Gov- ernor of Virginia obtained the grant of nearby Piney Island, a small northeastern section of Chincoteague not included in the Whealton grants. An incident not only of interest historically, but showing the caliber of the island’s population occured in the 60s when strife between the States was imminent. A general caucus of al citizens was called to determine whether the island should secede or remain in the Union. A Union flag and a Confederate one were fashioned so that the winning colors might be promptly unfurled to the breeze. The popuiation of voting age gathered along the island’s main street. The assamblage was called together by an commission because of the damage which was done it by the fierce gales which ravagaed Chincoteague this past appointed chairman. The subject in | its various aspects was discussed by HE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON D. C, Schools and Colleges w A WASHINGTON student at the George Washington Univer- sity School of Law, Edward J. Hickey, jr., was elected presi- dent of the Third Year Evening Class last week. Other class elections are ®eing held and the results will be announced soon. The leader of the Third Year Class is_a grad- uate of Brown University, where he obtained a degree of bache- lor of philosophy in 1934, At Georgetown he has been active in scholastic af- fairs, being a member of the Gould Law Club and on the edi- torial staff of the Georgetown Law Journal. The latter assignment speaks well for his class standing, as only those students with excellent scholastic records re- ceive appointments to the Journal staff. Another Washington student, Jo- seph Anton Bogan; was elected vice president of the class. Other new | officers are John William Kopeckey of | Halletsville, Tex. secretary; BE’I]B-‘ min Stanley Simmons of Fort Thomas, Ky., treasurer: William Ross | E. J. Hickey, Donoghue of Washington, historian, and Charles Patrick Clark of New York City, sergeant. at arms. The Walsh Debating Society nf the Foreign Service School, under the leadership of James Lannigan, presi- dent, and Robert Raish, secretary- treasurer, are out to dyplicate its fine intercollegiate debating record of last year. Until the Walsh debaters came along last year, intercollegiate debat- ing at Georgetown was confined to the societies representing the College of Arts and Sciences. ‘The Walsh Soclety is organizing a freshman group this year and ex- pects to enlarge its own schedule of intercollegiate debates. Among the university debating teams met last season were Willlam and Mary, Mary- land, Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins Drexel and Washington and Lee. Out of 14 debates the Walsh team lost only two. Among newly-admitted members are Joseph C. Cruden, Harvey E. MacDonald, Joseph M. Molina, Frank Nattier, Melvin I, Potosky, Harold J. Selinsky, George A. Charuhas, Au- gust W. Vaczy an®Francis P. Yockey. The members visited the Library of Congress last Thursday, where they have been assigned a special room for research work. ‘The Gaston Debating Society of the college held a dance Friday afternoon in Copley Lounge, on the campus, in which the members of the foreign service group co-operated. Reor- ganized this year as a freshman group, the Gaston Society has not yet NOVEMBER 1, 1936—PART ONE. scheduled a debating program for the year, but is contacting with teams at 8t. Peter’s College, in Jersey City, and Columbia University. Its members, however, are by no means idle. A number of its mem- bers are being trained by their mod- erator, Rev. James Foley, 8. J. in refuting the economic and social con- cepts of Communistic theories. At the end of about five weeks it was be- lieved the members would be suffi- ciently equipped to address public meetings of the Catholic laity on measures to be employed for protec- tion against the spread of communism.

Willlam Bunt- ing’s oyster houses shuck more Jovsters than any other shucking plant in the world with bluff round Capt. Matthews’ shucking crews as the next closest rival for national supremacy. Indeed, there are still those of us who remember Graham MacNamee #inging out as he was introducing notables arriving for the famous Tunney-Dempsey prize fight, “Here comes Capt. Matthews of Chinco- teague, whose Toms Cove oysters are fit for a king’s or a world's champion supper.” To many this bit of in- formation, tossed with more than usual zest into the microphone aroused no more than passing wonder at Graham's enthusiasm for an oyster. To those whose acquaintance with this famous sea food extends beyond | enjoyment at table to a knowledge of its native habitat, it brought recol- lections of a journey back 200 years. Away From Beaten Path. Yes, back 200 years. For Chinco- teague Island, Va., though within a few hours’ travel of New York, Phila- deiphia or Washington, is so remote Irom the modern tempo that it seems as if time, weary of ceaseless change, had faltered here, leaving manner of living and way of thinking much @s they were in the days of its first English settlers. With about 2.100 inhabitants, most of them descendants of families who came to the island in Colonial times, Chincoteague is as unique and as in- teresting a community as exists in America today. but very surely, it is one of the few spots in our country to keep its individuality untouched by the march of time. Look in your old geography, or turn to your automobile road map of Mary- Jind and Virginia, and find the Chesapeake Bay Country. Coming down like a spur from Maryland, with Chesapeakze Bay on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, you will note a little peninsula which isn't the same color as the rest of the State of Maryland, although logically one would suppose it ought to be. Here are the counties of Accomac and Northampton, which comprise what is known as the East- ern Shore of Virginia. Knowledge of them goes back to the days of Capt. John Smith, who in the diaries of his voyagings about these and neighboring Atlantic Seacoast waters tells of “the ancient kingdom of Ac- | comack.” Off Accomac County lies Chinco- teague Island, 7 miies long and from 1 to 2 miles wide. Compietely in- circling it are the waters of the Chincoteague Bay and Chincoteague Inlet on the west and north, and those of the Atlantic Ocean on the south, while the Assoteague Inlet sep- arates it from Assoteague's treach- erous sand bar and the pounding surf which beats upon it on the east. Splendid Natural Harbor. Toms Cove, the largest of several quiet backwaters, affords a splendid natural harbor and in earlier times was a storm shelter for many deep- Esea vessels, which but for its haven would have succumbed to the wrath of the sea. But it is for its oysters, and not its harbor facilities, that Toms Cove has come to be & name to conjure with where epicureans smack their lips upon those suc- culent bivalves which reach the sea- food markets of the United States from its oyster beds. Originally Chincoteague Islanders could reach the mainland only by iling vessels or by wearily poling or culling” themselves the distance across in rowboats. If tides and winds were unfavorable the sail to and from the mainland might require from dawn to nightfall. A visit either way COSTUME— DESICN ILLUSTRATION FASHION Start Tomorrow ABBOTT ART 1143 nn.

Gamely, too, de- | spite the fact that this same coastal storm drowned out 80,000 broilers and an equal number of ducks which they had turned out to fatten upon their | lush marshes, the Chincoteague Island- ers are saying, “Well, praise be, it's | been a warm Fall, so we haven't been | in getting out our| "unduly pushed oyster shipments.” | Most of the homes upon Chinco- | teague face upon the water, as you might expect. They are nearly all of frame, have a tidy look and are kept I neatly painted, just as are their owners’ boails. Driving up one street and down another at sunset in the soft Autumn air and stillness which is so restful after the rush and roar of urban life, one is reminded of the ship-shape trigness of New England transposed to a warm and mellow setting. Each family seems either to have | its own private oyster or clamming or fishing grounds, or to be employed by some one who has, just as each household appears to have its own | boat, as well as its own dock. A dock and a car appear to be twin nece: sities “on Chincoteague, where an | oyster-shucking plant or a fishing weir are the family's stock in trade. From the early days of its settle- ment land holdings have continued uninterruptedly from one member of a family to another. Just recently, in a lawsuit pertaining to a con- tested utle, a deed for a piece of | property inscribed upon an ancient and yellowed sheepskin was pre- sented and accepted as evidence. Sea Captains Known. Chincoteague’s insularity may have prevented it from giving to the Nation great warriors, poets or painters, but | the fame of its oysters has gone far ,and wide. The names of Chinco- teague's sea captains have also been | known throughout the seven seas for their maritime achievements. Her boat builders, too, have had reputa- tions far beyond their native State. Ira Hudson's manufacture and paint- ing of decoy ducks, geese and brant | is an unrivaled industry in itself. Another unique native industry which grew to be the greatest one of its | kind in the United States, and has shared honors with the fame of its oysters, is the wild water farm inaugu- rated by Joshua Whealton, another | worthy descendant of the island's | first settlers. Zoological gardens ev- erywhere have been supplied with its rare specimens and they have been | exhibited widely. Mr. Whealton's successor, Thomas J. Reed, specializes {in training wild ducks, who respond to their names and perform various | tricks. And so, if you “wanta buy a duck” Mr. Reed can supply you with | a trained wild one from Chincoteague, | by way of showing you that Chinco- | teague raises super-ducks, as well as | oysters. The exact date of the settlement of | Chincoteague is not known. Some | 300 years ago four brothers from England, by the name of Whealton, were driven ashore by a storm on the coast of Maine. One married and settled there, his descendants con- stituting a large and prosperous fam. ily in Eastern Maine today. The other three continued southward, as planned, but were overtaken by another gale and sought shelter on an island inhabited by friendly In- dians, whost chief’s name was Chin co-teague. One of these brothers finally made his way to the mainland SHINGTON SCHOOL o %n SECRETARIES ASHINGTON rioNAL PRESS BLOG ® Wi O T orioinG & NIW YORK DRAFTING] ALL BRANCHES START NOW—DAY OR EVE Columbia “Tech” Institute 1319 F St. N.W.

At length, those in favor of staying in the Union were | asked to step to one side of the road and those who wished to secede to the other. When the count was taken Chincoteague by just one vote had remained in the Union. Then the | Stars and Stripes were run up on the elevation where the first post office | was later built, Traded With Boston. Chincoteague continued to conduct & prosperous trade with Boston and other New England seaports through- out the duration of the Civil War, while the rest of Virginia cast her forces with the Rebel Armies, Appar- ently it never occurred to the island- ers or to the State of Virginia that | Chincoteague should in any way be controlled by the contrarywise vote of the Virginia Legislature upon this | issue. However, affrontgd Confeder- ate forces in flatboats from the main- land of Virginia attempted to punish the Chincoteaguers for their action. Coming cut of the melee unscathed under the leadership of John Wheal- ton, descendant of the first white man to settle on Chincoteague, Whealton was nevertheless confident that the | next attempt of the opposing forces | would be not so successful unless dras- | tic steps were taken. He therefore “sculled” Assoteague Inlet, walked the beach to Indian River, which he was forced to swim, and trudged on foot, wet and hungry and cold, 200 miles to Philadelphia, where he secured the protection of the Federal Government for his beloved island home during the remainder of the Civil War. This same John Whealton was the first to teach the islanders the art of oyster cultivation by planting the | shells advantageously before the spawning season and so helped to| make the Chincoteague oyster famous throughout the Nation as a Virginia delicacy by tremendously augmenting | the natural oyster bed. A kinsman of John Whealton, D. J. Whealton, be- came the island’s first oyster king. He was also its first millionaire, his business interests extending beyond his native isle to a part ownership in the Southland Hotel in Norfolk, and of Boothby’s and the Boodbinder’s | Rest in Philadelphia, all hostelries famous for seafood and Chincoteague oysters. His residence, likewise, be- came Chincoteague's finest one, lo- cated at the corner of Church and | Main streets, where over two centuries before his Whealton forbears had di- | vided the island between them. The Chincoteaguers, men and | women, take their voting responsibili- | ties seriously and no vote goes by de- | fault because a freefolder has failed to register at the proper time. The sharpest divisions are between the “church” and' “no church” elements, the “no church” group being greatly in the minority and decidedly ineffec- tive when community consideration is in the balance.
