EIGHT MANTEO FAMILIES
AIDED BY RED CROSS

Eight Manteo families have been
aided in one way or another by the
local chapter of the American Red
Cross as result of the disastrous
fire which destroyed the old
Roanoke Hotel building here on
February s, claiming the life Of
one man, Wilmer Beavers, and
making score of persons home
less.
Following an appeal from the
local chapter officials and welfare
officers in Dare, S. ]. Crane, ma
tional disaster service official,
who was in this section of North
Carolina, came to Manteo to assist
local Red Cross officials in giving
aid to those who suffered finan-
cially and otherwise as a result of
the fire.
Mrs. Louise Meekins is chair
man of the local Red Cross and
Melvin R. Daniels is local disaster
chairman who was assisted by the
Rev. Henry Napier, pastor of the
local Baptist Church, Mrs. Goldie
Meekins of the Welfare Depart
ment and her staff of assistants.
Also assisting in giving aid to
those suffering from the disaster
were Mayor Martin Kellogg and
Wallace McCown.
"The Red Cross plans for. re-
facilitating family such as those
who lost all they had in the fire,
calls for a study of each case. The
aid is given on a measuring scale
as follows: To help a family get
back ,on their feet according to
needs caused by the disaster above
what it can do for its self. Natural
ly there are many families affect
ed in a. disaster that can carry on
themselves said Crane.
THE aid given the families af-
fected by the disaster included
household furnishings, clothing,
food, medical and other assistance,
The total amount already expended
was $2,369.39. The largest indi-
vidual amount was $1,616.6O for
household furnishings and the next
highest was $457.44 for cls....i. 9,

The good people of Dare County
do not need to be told about the
many benefits they receive from
three of the most important and
useful Agencies of the County as
well as the dollars saved, to say
nothing of the time, anxiety and
suffering relieved or prevented
through the various activities of
the Health and Welfare Depart
ments.
Also, the pleasure, information
and educational advantages furn-
ished the people of Dare County
through the County Public Libra
ry, which, by the way, is. one of the
finest in North Carolina. These
three Agencies have become a
Must in every County in North
Carolina.
In Dare County these Depart
ments have expanded until each is
almost virtually crowded out of it's
quarters and unless some relief can
be obtained neither of them can
continue to perform its best SER
vice. But, the good news is, Re
lief Can Be Obtained at rela-
lively nominal outlay on the part
of the County. The plan is on a
participating basis. The State and
Federal Governments will pay
81.76 and the County 1897 of
construction costs plus the water
and sewage disposal system and
one acre of land. Through this CO.
operative plan Currituck County is
now beginning construction of
Health Center Building such as is
needed in Dare County. The cost
of which is Sal, 200. Of this amount
the County has to put up only
$8,356.6O, plus one acre of land.
1t appears that it would be good
business and an opportunity that
Dare County could i'll afford to
pass up and not take advantage of
such an opportunity to obtain a
facility so badly needed, even if

CPL. JOHN r. DUDLEY is
BACK at CAPE HATTERAS
AFTER "a MOS. IN KOREA

Buxton on Cape Hatteras, Feb.
IL - After IA months in the front
line in Korea, a month out for
men dumped a mess of mortar
Observation-Disclosures Red China
men dumped a mess of mortar
shells around him, Cpl. John Rus
sell DUDLEY has come home to
Cape Hatteras no bigger, in
weight, than he was when he left
in September, 1950-but with some
added weight at that. He has four
battle stars on his campaign rib
bons-plus the Bronze Star medal
and the coveted combat infantry
mans badge,
And If he had his way shout It
he would go back-but no further
than Japan. He liked that coun-
try, what he was able to see of it,
and he believes that he would fat
ten on occupation duty. But he
has seen enough combat to last him
for a considerable spell-and he is
glad the U. S. Coast Guard didn't
have room for him when he tried
to enlist in it two years ago and,
failing there, joined the Army.
Biggest day in Korea, for him,
was the day he didn't get killed
when the mortar shells virtually
wiped out his squad and sent him
to the hospital badly shell-shock-
ed. Next biggest day was when the
Third Division-he belongs ITO A
Company of the famous Seventh
Regiment = finished its bloody
rear-guard action in the retreat
and boarded ship again. The Third
held off the entire Chinese army at
the last while the rest of the
American forces got aboard rescue
vessels.
These are the big days but Cor
poral Dudley rates right up among
them the day when Macarthur
himself came striding past-and
looked him square in the eye. But
then the General has a knack of
making; every soldier in sight feel
like he is looking right at him, he
believes. An any rate the foot
soldiers hated to hear "when they
took him away from u.s."
Most astonishing thing that has
happened at home while he has
been away is the growing up of
his younger brother who was ga
little knot" two years ago and
now he's bigger than / amor
thinks he is" Younger Brother
Leighton, named for. DIR. Leighton
Avner who assisted him into the
world when he was stationed here
with the Gees, is, currently a
member of the Hatteras Island
High School basket ball team.
DUDLEY will have a month at
home. He was flown across the
Pacific on the way to combat but
made it back in a transport in 16
days. From Seattle he was flown
to Columbia, S. c., and he will re-
port to Fort Jackson for re-assign-
ment when his leave is up. His en-
listment has near 10 months to run
but as of now it looks as if the
Army has bought itself another
thirty-year man. Corporal Dudley
likes it, and he is very happy to
have his combat behind him, for the
present.

LINDSAY WARREN'S
DEPARTMENT. SAVES
TWICE ITS COST

Comptroller General Lindsay C.
Warren recently declared the Gen.
eral Accounting Office in the last
decade collected an amount equal
to more than twice the cost of
operation of the GAO during the
same period.
The head of the. GAO, in a
luncheon talk to the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club, declared:
AS one result of our activities
from 1871 through December 81,
1851, $3.50 million has been col
lected."
He said this amount of money
had been illegally or improperly
paid out, and added, 1T is a fair
statement to say that little of it
would have ever been recovered
except for the GAO. The amount
of our collections is more than
twice what it has cost to operate
the GAO during the same period. "
The need for the GAO, which is
the agency of Congress for check
ing on the Governments financial
transactions, has never been great
er, Mr.. Warren said.
Pointing to the country's de-
Tense program with its accom-
panying expenditures, he said,
"The existance of the office with
proper and necessary powers to
maintain a control and watch over
these expenditures is an essential
part of our democratic form Of
Government"
Mr.. Warren called attention tt
several instances. in which the
GAO had recovered money fol
the country and contributed to
more efficient and economical gov
ernment."
He cited the case of the palm
Beach of the Gulf" an Army rec
reation center for military per-
sonel, involving an expense of
$95O,000, which was closed by the
Secretary of Defense after receipt
of our report"
SIN another field" he continued
Eve had to question the Depart
ments about nearly 1000 out OF
5000 accounts of single officers in
the Armed Services claiming de
pendent parents.
Where recoveries have beer
made, they average $1,700 pei
case" he declared.
Mr.. Warren said people tend t.
forget that in the final analysis
the Governments property anC
money are our own"
This attitude, he pointed out
has. led him many times to sug-
gest "that as part Of the neces-
sary education for government
service at West Point, Annapolis
or anywhere else where the Gov
eminent pays the freight, there
should be compulsory six-day-a-
week, full-time course on "The
