ONLY 80 AUTOS STRANDED
AT OREGON INLET SUNDAY

Conditions have improved at
Oregon Inlet ferry where week
end traffic still encounters a bot
tleneck. Only 38 automobiles were
stranded on Hatteras Island Sun

reaching here via the Manteo-Hat-
teras Bus Line which enjoys pri-
GRITTY privilege on the ferry be-
cause it hauls passengers. In the
meantime, Dare Commissioners
have appealed to the State High
way and Public Works Commits
sion to maintain schedules on a
summertime basis during the
week ends when so many tourists
visit Hatteras Island. Conditions
on Sunday were not as bad as
some Sundays when up to rs autos
have been stranded due to lack of
adequate ferry service to bring
them back to north side.

HUNTING TRIP
ENDS LIFE OF
13-YR. OLD BOY
Glenn SadIer. of Swan Quar-
ter Dies Friday About an
Hour After Being
Shot

Wherever there's a game, and
older men participate with great
zeal in the sport Of hunting, the
coming generation will always
grow up with the wish to emulate
their elders, and to take part in
the sport. Tragedy, from time to
time for young and old will be the
result. 1t happened Friday in Swan
Quarter, when Glenn Sadler, 10,
was accidentally wounded, and died
about an hour later in Belhaven
hospital. His gun had gone off
while he was dragging the butt
end along on the ground.
With Caesar Harris, also 10, a
colored neighbor, he had gone
hunting about a mile north of
Swan Quarter. While dragging the
gun on the ground, the hammer
caught on a bush; the full load
went into the boys head. The Har-
ris boy became frightened and ran
out to the road, and State High
way employees nearby went to the
scene and found the wounded boy.
He was alive, Gilbert Tunnel and
Joe Williams, Jr., took him to the
hospital. Glenn was a seventh
grade student in Swan Quarter
high school.
Surviving are his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Charlie Sadler; two
brothers, Larry and Gary Sadler;
two sisters, Diana and Patsy 10,
all of the home; his paternal
grandmother, Mrs. Allene Sadler;
his maternal grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. George Thompson, all of
Swan Quarter.
Funeral services were held at
Providence Methodist Church Sun
day at 2 pm. Burial was in Soule
Cemetery.

ANCIENT RELICS
ARE EXAMINED
BY AUTHORITIES
Smithsonian Reports on
Fragments Found by Mr..
and Mrs. Milford Wise
By AYCOCK BROWN

Manteo.-A variety of earthen-
ware fragments, metal shoe buck
les and other objects found in the
dunes of a barren area of the
beach near the village of Duck
in upper Dare County have been
examined by the Ethnology Di-
vision of Smithsonian Institution
and their report indicates that a
long-forgotten community may
have existed in. the area.
Mr.. and Mrs. MILFORD Wise of
Manteo and their children made the
discovery Of the various objects
about one year ago following a
coastal storm which washed away
the sand on top of the dunes. They
found dozens of fragments of
plates, saucers and vases, metal
belt buckles, fragments of clay
pipes, wine bottles, irregular
pieces of sheet brass, brass pins
and one bayonet.
Most of the objects, according to
the findings of the Smithsonian Of
ficials, date back to the 18th and
10th century.
In a comprehensive report is
sued by C. W. Watkins, associate
curator of the Institutions divis-
ion of ethnology the following was
reported:
Glazed white earthenware with
hand painted springs resempled
the "pearl ware" introduced about
1880 in England by Wedgwood who
had succeeded in bleaching the yell
lowish tones of his :rearaware.
This may have been made at Bris-
toll, according to the report. Other
fragments decorated with orange
and green sprigs was typical of
the earthenware made at bristol
and other English factories around
1900.
Fragments of nodded salt-glaz-
ed stoneware with basket-work de-
sign in relief was made in the Stat
fordshire potteries as one of the
mid-18th century efforts to make
white earthenware. The nodded va
riety, of which the fragments were
an example of, was introduced
about 1755 and continued to be
made until about 1880. Other frag-
ments were described as belonging
to the period between 1915 to about
1885.
Fragments of shoe buckles of
copper-zinc alloy such as was used
during the 18th Century was also
in the find by the Wise family.
There was much to suggest the
syle of Sheraton and Hepplewhite
furniture in the designs of these
buckle fragments, according to the
report.
A book hasp with stamped de-
sign probably came from a family
Bible and according to the Smith

viewing and twice that number
spent in listening to the worlds
best singers, have encountered no
greater voice or vocalist" The
rest of the New York critics
agreed.
Since then Nikolaidi has per-
