TWO SCHOOL BOARDS
REPORT FOR MEETING
Old Board Appoints School Com
mittees at Last Meeting

Two sets of Education Board
members assembled in the County
Board room Monday for the meet
ing called for the purpose of elect
ing new county superintendent
of schools. Each board held that it
was the official body governing
the Dare County schools. Finally
County Attorney Martin Kellogg
was called in to interpret the con-
trolling statutes, and it was deter
mined that the new board could
not legally act until the first
Monday in May.
Accordingly, tine election of
the new superintendent of Dare
schools was deferred to Mon
day, May Z, and Chairman E. P.
White of Buxton took the chair
to preside at the last meeting of
the outgoing board. The incOm-
ing board members are: Ellis
Gray, Avon; Roy Gray, Halter

Walter Perry, Kitty Hawk; and

MANY SEEK JOB
AS SUPT. DARE
COUNTY SCHOOLS
Desirable Post To Be Filled
When Board of Education
Meets Next Monday

Many people are seeking the
post of Superintendent of Dare
County Schools which is to be fill
ed Monday, next week by the
County Board of Education.
Among those who have filed appli-
cations for the job are Talmadge
Page of Windsor, formerly prin-
cipal of the Kitty Hawk School,
Mrs. Mary Langston Evans, pres
ent Supervisor of Schools in Dare,
and R. E. Howard, now school
principal at Wagram, N. c., HUI
bert Price, University graduate of
Avon.
Supt. r. 1. Leake, who has held
the office for several years, ten
dered his resignation a month ago
following the request of the Board
Of Eduaction that he resign. Two
years ago, in the face of a petit
ton signed by some 800 school
patrons, and packed courthouse
of determined citizens, he was re-
tanned in Office by three of FIVE
board members. Opposition to Mr.,
Leake has developed over. several
years, stemming first out of his
apparent inactivity and failure to
visit the schools and show inter-
est in the work.
The job paid a salary of $4,000
during the fiscal year 1949-50. and
also paid $1,000 for Office help. 1t
looks like pretty good job, con-
sidering the amount of energy
heretofore put out on it, but a new
Superintendent, if he succeeds,
will have to put out lot more eff
fort. OF course, due to recent new
schedules, there may be some sal
airy increases. However, the job of
Superintendent of Schools is made
much easier since Supervisors
have been employed to do much
of the work that was formerly ex-
pected of the Superintendent.

BEACH RESORTS OF DARE
PROMISED BUSIEST YEAR
BY ALL EARLY INDICATIONS
Unusual Interest Manifested by Early Com
ers to Kitty Hawk, Mays Head and Kill
Devil Beaches; Reservations Pour In and
Business Men Jubilant at Prospects of
Great Season.

Business men on the Dare
Beaches are looking forward
with all confidence to the big
gest season ever known at
Mays Head, Kill Devil Hills

people from distant places now
own cottages at Mays Head. Some
from as far away as Kentucky,
with many from Washington, Bal
timore, Greensboro, Charlotte and
out in the mountains of Carolina,
Virginia and West Virginia.
Reservations are pouring in and
at the present rate, late corners
may find it difficult to find a house
for a week if they wait until late
in the season to make arrange
ments.

of the beach are are reminding
