DRINKWATERS ON
NEW YORK VISIT

Mr.. and Mrs. Alpheus w. Drink
water are in New York this week
where he, on behalf of the Kill
Devil Hill Memorial Society will
extend an invitation to Capt. Ed
die Rickenbacker, president OF
Eastern Air Lines and other out
standing aviation personalities to
attend the 48th anniversary cele-
bration of the first flight by the
Wright Brothers.
It was Drinkwater, who as a
telegrapher, had assisted in relay
ing the first flight message and
later in 1908 transmitted thou
sands of words of press copy to
newspapers throughout the coun-
try from correspondents covering
experimental flights of the
Wrights as they made tests of a
plane that was later sold to the
government.
The Drinkwaters made the trip
to New York by commercial air
lines, in plane that had wing

turn home late this week.

BONNER PAINTS
DISMAL PICTURE
of OUR SITUATION
Congressman Returns From
World Tour Viewing
Waste and Inef-
ficiency

Foreign aid spending must be
continued by the United States in
the global fight against the spread
of communism, but it can be and
must be done cheaper than it is
now being done, Herbert Bonner,
First District congressman, last
week told members of the Wash
ington Rotary Club, according to
the Daily News.
Just back from a trip abroad
which took him to II foreign
countries, Mr.. Bonner declared
that the United States government
has "got to find more economy
in aiding allies in the struggle
with communism.
Mr.. Bonner is chairman of the
subcommittee on Inter-Govern-
mental relationship of the House
Expenditures committee, which
has been conducting probe into
waste and inefficiency in the arm
ed forces and in the disposal of
surplus government property.
Aid Spending Essential
Although results are sometimes
disappointing, foreign aid spending
is essential, Mr.. Bonner declared,
pointing out that the free nations
are engaged in a death struggle
with the ''most ungodly hordes on
the face of the earth-an theology
in many respects like religious
faith"
"The Communists will stop at
nothing; they will stoop to any
thing" he said.
Mr.. Bonner made these observa-
lions about nations receiving U. s.
aid:
~ Nehru offers no strong lead
ership in India to deter the fall of
that nation to communism. Recent
wheat shipments from this country
did pitifully little, if anything, to
help strengthen ties between the
two countries.
~ Chang, Chinese Nationalist
leader, is weak. A new leader must
rise up in China to defeat the Reds.
80 The British are stinting and
working hard in an effort to solve
their economic troubles. The task
is great there, but so is the deter
mination.
az Most Western European ma
lions are not doing as much for
themselves as is possible. The rich
do not bear their share of the bur-
den of taxes, while the poor bear
more than they are able to carry.
Not Selling America
Mr.. Bonner said that he was
surprised to find that American
foreign representatives have not
been building as much good will
abroad as they should have.
He observed that by Dragging
about American wealth and gifts
many peoples have become jealous
rather than grateful for us. aid.
Regarding his work probing
waste by the armed forces in the
field of supply and disposal of
surplus property, the First Con-
gressional congressman said that
much can be saved and has been
saved as a result Of the INQUIRY Of

MANTEO'S FIRST
OPERA BRINGS
BIG AUDIENCE
School for Lovers Well Re-
ceiVed by Young and
Old

The introduction of live opera
to Manteo, by means of the Grass
Roots Opera Company of Raleigh,
was termed a success by those
sponsoring the performance of
MOzart's "School for Lovers" last
Saturday night in the schrool audi
forum. The Manteo PTA sponsor
ed the entertainment.
While the house was not full,
there was a good-sized audience
and an appreciative one. Both
adults and children were there, and
the children especially enjoyed the
performance. A number of the
adults in the audience had seen
grand opera as a finished perfor-
nance in much more elaborate set
tings, with full chorus and all the
details it is impossible to have
outside an opera house; these still
enjoyed the Grass Roots presen-
tation. Other adults, who had never
seen opera in any form, were d.
vided in opinion. Some few did
not care for it; most were delight
ed. But the children We're all en-
thuisiastic, and are anxious for
another opera to come to Manteo
before too long.
"School for Lovers" was pre-
sented in English, as are all the
Grass Roots operas. A. J. Fetch
er, Raleigh attorney, is at the
head Of the Grass Roots opera,
and Robert C. Byrd is director.
Both played roles in "School For
Lovers" Others taking part were
Robert Witherspoon, Raleigh ac-
countant; Nora Sands, Anna APP
plewhite and Deborah Alden. All
leen Lynn, pianist, was the ac-
companist. William Allen and
Harry Garland were stage man
ayers.
Following the performance the
members of the cas- were gueets

Roanoke Island Music Club at the
home of the president, Mrs. Rem

THEY GOT BAG ENOUGH
BUT NO CANVASBACK

Mays Head.-During the recent
June in December" weather along
the coast many who came to hunt
went fishing instead. Some of the
wildfowlers changed sports in the
middle of the stream, so to speak.
Take the case of C. D. Jones
and Grady Brown of HiIlsboro.
They arrived at Mays Head on a
Sunday afternoon all primed for
some duck shooting in nearby
Currituck Sound on the following
day. They reached their blind heav-
lily laden with guns and an.muni-
ton but it was one of those days
when the weather was so calm
that ducks stayed we'll beyond
shooting range.
Borrowing a rusty lure from
their guide, the couple found d
care pole that came drifting by
their blind. Rigging the lure to a
line and attaching it to the cane
pole, they started casting. Their
days bag was not ducks, but the
limit of large mouth bass, total
of eight that weighed up to two
pounds each.
Another group of hunters had
gone goose shooting with Capt.
Charlie Perry of Kitty Hawk in
the Albenarle- Roanoke Sound
area. By mid-morning the weather
had gotten so mild and the geese
were keeping so far away from
their blinds they decided to go fish
ing, using the tackle which Capt.
Perry always keeps aboard.
When they returned to their
Mays Head hotel they had a total
Of 40 striped bass, averaging four
to six pounds each and totaling
200 pounds. The hunter-fishermen
which included R. H. Yeatman,
w. ID. Aud and Antoine Auth of
Silver Springs, Mr., and F. F.
Shoemaker of Washington, D. c.,
did not kill any geese on that day.

DIMES FUND
WAGES DUAL
POLIO FIGHT

Funds contributed to the 1852
March of Dimes this month will
become double-barrelled barrages
in the war on polio, Mrs. Balfour
Baum, Dare County campaign di-
rector, declared today
every dime and dollar finances
care of patients, research, epidem-
ic aid and education of much
needed professional personnel"
Mrs. Baum said.
Fifty per cent of the funds re-
main here to finance care of local
polio patients needing such help
or, in an emergency, are made
available to the national epidemic
aid fund.
The other fifty per cent is sent
to National Headquarters, where
it is used for these programs:
Research-The most extensive
voluntary research programs ev-
er levelled at single disease.
Aimed at finding a means of pre-
venting or curing polio, March
of Dimes grants are supporting
research in the nations leading
universities and laboratories.
Professional EducatiOn-With
shortages resulting from in
creased demands for profession
al service, plus inrOads made by
military requirements, more
trained personnel are needed to-
day than ever before, particular
ly in view of more widespread
polio epidemics. March of Dimes
scholarships, fellOwships and
short courses are training more
professionals to care for polio
victims and to man scientific
laboratories.
Emergency Epidemic Aid
Fund-This is money made
available to any community
which has exhausted its local
March of Dimes funds caring
for patients.
Mrs. Baum emphasized that "the
number of new patients every
year, plus the tens of thousands
of patients from past years still
needing help, have left the March
of Dimes in debt at the end OF
each of the past four years. Thus
the 1852 appeal must surpass any
of the past"
The March of Dimes will con-
tinue to the end of the month.
