PARKS COMMITTEE
PUSHES DEVELOPMENT
OF HATTERAS PARK

The July % issue of The State
Advertising Bulletin included
paragraph which holds out the
hope that, at last, something about
the development of Cape Halter
as State Park may be about to be
done. This is what the Advertising
Bulletin had to say:
Attendance figures may give
hint as to why the State Parks
Committee frowned on Hiwassee
and indicated probability of trahs-
ferring funds from it to develop
ment of Hatteras on the coast.
Members of the Committee, who
visited it last week, were favora-
bly, impressed with possibilities of
Hatteras for development as a first
class State Park and indications
are that work on it will be speed
ed up so that, it will be ready for
visitors by the time the hard-sur-
faced road is completed to Oregon
Inlet. (Only about IL. miles, from
Rodanthe to Oregon Inlet, which
is crossed by free ferry, remain
to be paved.)"
If the development of the park
and the completion of the high
way can be hurried along by the
efforts of the State Parks Com
mittee, the committee members
will rate a round of thanks from
the people of Dare County-and
from tourists from everywhere.

Louis T. Cox, After So Years,
Comes Back to Mays Head and
Buys Ocean Frontage

Louis T. Cox of Baltimore, with
his wife and daughter, came into
Dare County again this summer
for a short visit, and last Satur-
day bought 100 feet of ocean front
south of Mays Head from the Fear

while Louis Cox was a linotype
operator in Elizabeth City that he
visited Mays Head first. In those
days things were quite different.
Today he is employed by the
Baltimore News-Post, but during
the hot summer of 1915 he was en-
gagged in an extravagant venture
for Elizabeth City in those days.
In hot stall on East Fearing st.
with A. E. Burgess and Vernon
Wright, he was publishing a daily
newspaper called the Evening
News. 1t was mighty interesting
paper in those days at Mays Head
where the Elizabeth City and Ed
enton cottagers, just about all of
whom lived on the sounside, got
the daily gossip from home quick
er than Saunders Independent and
Peele's Advance could bring it to
them.
The Evening News lasted about
Is months. 1t was right interest
ing sheet. It's Manteo correspond
ent was Victor Meekins. 1t carried
a story about purported note
from Alfred Vanderbilt found on
the beach at Mays Head by Rob
Midget of Manteo. Vanderbilt had
been lost with the Lusitania, sunk
off Ireland by a German sub early
in 1915.
Last week Mr.. Cox and his fam
lily called at the office of the Coast
land Times. They never forgot this
section, and hope to come here to
live sometime soon. Mrs. Cox is a
native of South Mills. Mr.. Cox is
a Maryland native.

REPORT ON WATER

After last weekfs blast by a To- cal paper on the water situa ti on, perhaps many of the citizens of Pal ner are wo ndering what has happened and what is proposed. While it is true that the Coop Board was pre- sented wi tn a letter in the nature of an ultimatum, inc Judi ng a c on tract that has the very provi sio ons that have been unac eptab1e to the Coop, and still is; we feel that progress has been made and that 1t will be ironed out s or1et inc soon.
 Charges included in the article ment toned above, and the letter from the City Council that Ac ting general manager, Carl Rasmus en had changed his mind and reversed his stand are denied by Rasmus sen, who says "that this bit of nfo rnation is in his opinion a deliberate false-hood, a nd was used for. the purpose of hiding the fact that 1t YES really the corrni ttee from the City Council, who changed their IT. nds." He says "that documents TOW in the possession of the Coop will readily pr ove that this is true."
 Further Rasmus sen stated that Tit is his opinion that one of the Councils ommit tee members is try ing to bluff his way into possess ion of the Co-op's water system. That his record shows that he Is un able to corporate wi tn any civic enterprise, as he Immediately pro- ceeds to take over and dictate to those associated tn him, as to what shall be done and how to do it!

 Tho various races and special O. vents advo rti sod in last we eks pro- gram wore held on tho fair grounds and the ball game ono luded the Iaftornoon's sports. The Carnival c onpany played to a record crowd, wi tn tho thri Hing ride on tho ferris wheel proving to be tho best seller. Two conc ncessionaires dished out 'hot dogs', coffee, ice croam
 and other tasty foods to the hungry crowds.
 The Barbeque proved to bo one of tho best yet. The beef was raised by Joe Loyor on his Matanus l6a Vall- ey Farm and was tendor and delic- ious. Howard Campbell of the Coop creamery, mixed the barbeque sauce and had charge of the cooking, ith Arnold Link of the creamery asaist- ing. Tho meat cutters and walters wero recruited from various stores and agencies. The potatoes and
 buns wore baked by the Shamrock Bakery, and proved to be delicious. One strange thing about the af- fair, was the absence of so many Of tho original colonists who still live in this sec ii on of the country. The nowc omors were much more int orest tod, apparently, than the old timers. However, it was generally agreed that the day was big success.
