MIR. Martin and Mr.. RayIe

Mr., and Mrs. Dave West and
two-year-old daughter, Inez, have
left for their native state of Iowa
after making their home in Dare
County for about 10 months. Com

West was employed as managing
editor of the Coastland Times,
they made host of friends. Going
to Buxton last fall as members of
the faculty, they have made their
home there for the past seven
months; but being so far from the
home folks, Mr.. and Mrs. West de-
cided that the best thing they
could do was go back to Iowa,
where they will rot be senaratec!
by SO many hundreds of miles from
their families.
Their places on the Buxton fac
ulty have been taken by Frank
Martin of Bethel and Robert Rayle
of Buxton. Mr.. Rayle replaces Mr..
West as high school English teach
er. Mr.. Martin replaces Mrs. West
as teacher of the seventh and

SWEDISH REPORTER
VISITS DARE COAST
Student at HaverfOrd and Wife
Find County Interesting;
Swim in Hatteras Surf
Last Week End

Among enthusiastic visitors to
Dare County last week were Mr..
and Mrs. j. F. Boissevain of Hav-
erford, Pa, who were honeymoon
ing during spring vacation from
Haverford College, where Mr.. Bos-
sevain is student. The couple, on
studying maps, had decided to go
further south after having a quick
trip along the Dare coast, but af-
ter arriving on the beach at Kill
Devil Hills they were so delighted
with the terrain, the warm sun
shine of last week end and the
hospitality of the Dare coast peo-
pie that they decided against 60
ing further, and spent the remain
der of their vacation there. On Fri
day they tried their luck for a
while fishing at Oregon Inlet, but
went on to Hatteras and had a
swim in the surf, which they
found a little chilly but much
warmer than they had EXPECTED to
find this time of year. The only
flaw in their trip was the fact that
they got stuck in the sand twice
between Oregon inlet and Halter
as on the day they drove to Hat
teras. Both times, however, the
Coast Guard came to the rescue
and Mr.. and Mrs. Bossevain were
high in their praise of the friendly
Coast Guardsmen.
Mrs. Bossevain is a native of
Sweden and has been in this coun-
try only a few weeks, but she
speaks excellent English. She says
that English is taught in the
Swedish schools and that there is
quite a large Notwithstanding
population in her country. She and
Mr.. Bossevain met in Paris, where
they were both students at the
University of Paris. In Sweden
she was reporter on a daily
newspaper, the Sundsvalls Tidning.
She and her husband visited the
Times office in Manteo, and were
very much interested in observing
the operation of a country print
shop, in contrast to the large daily
on which she had worked.

CARLTON MORRIS
ENJOYS NEW KIND
OF HUNTING TRIP
BY CARLTON MORRIS
editor, Gates County Index)

Since earliest boyhood, l have
enjoyed hunting and fishing and in
years gone by, l was interested in
the amount of game / could take
during any hunt, but of late years
/ have become more and more in
terested in the hunt rather than in
taking game.
Last week went on a nunt with
men as the quarry.
Dropping in at Prison Camp 1903,
l found Bob Turner just in the act
of taking off for Manteo to help
round up some reluctant prisoners,
three to be exact, who had escaped
from work gang from the Curri-
tuck prison camp.
We loaded in Bob's car, two
men from the camp, Bob and !,
plus the famous bloodhound, Mabel
and away we went-fast.
Reports began to come in on our
two-way radio thick and fast. Co
ing along as a sort of lark, /
was pleasingly astonished to find
that / was as excited as kid. Bob,
who is prison supervisor for this
district, is an excellent driver and
proved it over and over as we rap
idly approached cars Of every sort
and description. Some were hug
cling the middle of the road while
others drove on the wrong side but
we passed them all. When we ap-
preached couple, driving straight
down the middle and it was diff
cult to tell whether the man or
woman was driving, Bob reached
down and touched the siren on his
car which is equipped much like a
patrol auto. They moved over with
out separating and as we slipped
past them. / noticed a grin on the
mans face that reminded me of a
mule eating briers.
We loaded up with gas at Eliza.
beth City and were on our way In
a matter of minutes, then began
the long haul to Roanoke Island
Bob was tht first man / ever saw
who was thankful for not having
new car. The State department
for which. he works had a new one
for him, but he had failed to gei
it that day and was glad because
he would have been unable to make
much speed.

DARE DRAFT BOARD
CHAIRMAN RESIGNS

Chairman Robert o. Balance of
the Dare County Draft Board has
submitted his resignation to Col.
Thos. H. Upton, State Selective
Service Director, he stated this
week. Mr.. Balance, who has serv-
ed as Board Chairman two years,
and two years as a member before
becoming Chairman makes it plain
that he will not serve on the Board
to which Frank Hemilwright of
Manns Harbor, has recently been
appointed.
The difference came. Mr. Bal
lance explains, because Mr.. Hemil-
wright had declared himself before
taking office, as being determined
to continue the deferment of Lloyd
X. Midget, la registrant who
has twice been deferred, through
appeals to higher sources not COM
pletely explained, but who is now
considered a fair subject for induc-
ton in the armed forces.
Mr.. Balance thinks Hemil-
wright, being Forest Fire war
den, and therefore subject to politi-
cal pressure, is not person with
whom he can conscientiously serve
on Draft Board, and has sub
mitted a final resignation. Hemil-
wright had been appointed ON the
recommendation of Clerk of the
Court, who had also made affida-
Wit recommending the deferment of
Midget, Balance said in his letter
of resignation.

KNOW YOUR
SCHOOLS
By MABEL EVANS JONES

At Wanchese, not to disturb the
apparent intentness of the school
work, l stepped quietly into the
vestibule of the elementary school
there about lunch time. An infor-
NAL line of small boys and girls
began coming from the primary
classroom. A shy young voice said,
"'Cuse me, please" Another re-
peated it. The children had realiz-
ed that they were passing in front
of me, and l was conscious that
they were being taught something
other than the three RS. The
cleaning cleanliness of the recent
ly painted classroom walls was
characteristic of the way the en-
tire school was kept. A new cen
trail heating plant gave a cheerful
warmth throughout the building
and an exploration of the new fur
mace room was made more interest
ing by the teaching principal
saying that she and the lunchroom
manager had learned to run the
heating plant in case of any alb
sence of the janitor.
In the lunchroom there was gen.
erous space and the children. sat
down at the tables as if in large
family groups, chatting happily
with a minimum of noise. AS they
left the building for play after
lunch there was definite evidence
of self control. On the school yard
around the play ground equipment
there was laughing; even little
chirps of song. A junior baseball
team was practicing with equip
! ment that had been bought for
them by helpful P. T. A.
This sameP. TIA. had also bought
during the year a new refrigerator
for the lunchroom, of which pos
session the school was very proud.
Back in the classrooms there
was the same element of happy
business. One grade showed with
pride numerous designs they had
recently made in an arithmetic
study using a compass and pro-
tractor. These instruments were
once used only in advanced math-
MATES of high school or college. On
a chart frame in the same class
room hung a series of maps.
I"World News of the Week" on
which the location of happenings
all over the world was indicated
anew each week. 1t was just what
l had wanted for my own informa-
ton during some months past
Those children will have world in
terests as they grow.
All the upper level grades were
keenly interested in some new ma.
tural science textbooks and they
were truly lovely enough in illus
tratlonS to interest even the most
unconcerned youngsters. There
were evidences all about of Iabora.
/ tory work.
The school is looking forward tc
new green writing surface wal
boards with mounting strips above
to protective door stripping and
automatic closing devices to hold in
the heat.
The faces of the children really
twinkled when l told them thai
they were far better folks in the
school than either their parents Oh
uncles had been, and that theil
school was a most attractive cen.
ter for Wanchese.
