TOURIST TRAVEL
IN DARE AHEAD
OF 1851 BY $40
Tourist Bureau Head Calls it
Best Tourist Season

Tourist and vacation travel on
the Dare Coast of North Carolina
in June was 55 per cent ahead of
June 1851, according to statistics
maintained by officials of Fort
Fort Raleigh National Historic
Site here on Roanoke Island, Ay-
cock Brown said today.
"This is an indication that the
Dare Coast is enjoying its best
tourist season." said L. L. Swain,
chairman of the board of directors
of Dare County Tourist Bureau.
eve have no accurate method
of determining the exact increase
in tourist travel to the coast of
Dare County, but there is every
indication that it is far, ahead of
any previous season." he said. 1--WE
use the authentic records of the
government owned Fort Raleigh as
a barometer of the great increase. "
Robert L. Atkinson, superinten-
dent of the historic site here on
Roanoke Island stated that the
June increase of visitors registered
at Fort Raleigh showed a ITS per
cent increase of visitors registered
over May, this year. 1t was the
best May from a tourist travel
standpoint the northeast coast of
North Carolina has ever experien-
ced. Advertising in all National
Parks is helping bring business
here.
"Many operators of hotels, mo-
tor courts and restaurants on the
Dare Beaches have stated that
their May 1862 business was equal
to Or ahead of July 1851" Swain
pointed out.
"This is a definite indication"
he added, shat the increased pro-
motional activity along the Dare
coast conducted primarily by the
newly organized Tourist Bureau,
is paying off and in a big way
for this county which has the
tourist business as it's principal
industry"
Biggest ATTRACTIONS in news
worthy way, along ON coast has
been The Lost Colony in previous
years. This season, however, we
have had Hatteras Island, and it's
seven villages added as places
which vacationists may now visit
without too much difficulty in
their own automobiles" said
Swain. ..
"When asked to explain what he
meant by too much difficulty" in
connection with Hatteras Island,
Swain explained, that inadequate
ferry service, plus the fact that
that improper maintenance of the
new paved roads detours and ap-
proaches have harrassed many va
cationists whose autos became
stuck in the deep dry sand or were
delayed in crossing Oregon Inlet.
eve feel that the State of North
Carolina should do something a
bout the three sandy spots in the
highway on Hatteras Island and
improve the ferry SERVICE" said
Swain.

WOULD PUT DARE
BACK UNDER TOLL
BRIDGE SYSTEM
Company to Seek Permission
at Meeting in Raleigh on
August 5th, to Build
Croatan Bridge

Officials of the Carolina-Virgin-
ia Coastal Highway Corporation
have asked the North Carolina
Municipal Board of Control for
authority to build a toll bridge
across Croatan Sound between
Roanoke Island and MAINS Harbor.
Secretary of State Thad Eure,
a member Of the Municipal Board,
said that a public hearing on the
proposal would be held in his Of
flee here at 10 a. m. on Tuesday,
August 5. ..
Wayland J. Sermons of Wash
ington, N. c., and Guy H. Lennon
of Manteo, president and secre-
tary respectively of the Corpora
tion, filed the request with the
Municipal Board. Ray Adams of
Washington, N. C. is member.
The Carolina Virginia Coastal
Highway Corporation was organic
ed under an act of the 1949 Cen
eral Assembly for the purpose of
issuing bonds and building a toll
road along the Outer Banks of
Currituck County from Kitty Hawk
northward, to connect at the Vir-
ginia line with a similar road
planned for the lower banks of
Virginia.
1t would pay no taxes.
So far, in the more than three
years since the Company was or
ganized, there has been no start
made on the proposed toll road
In their petition for a change in
the corporations charter to per-
nit construction of the toll bridge
Sermons and Lennon said that en-
cheering firms and traffic con-
sultants had advised the move. A
bridge across the sound, they ex-
planned, would materially increase
anticipated traffic over the toll
road by affording a desirable and
competitive route for north-south
traffic"

DARE SCHOOLS LOSE
TWO TEACHERS 1928

The number of pupils in the
schools of Dare County are not
keeping pace with conditions
enough to gain extra teachers. Des-
pite the recent rule of state auth
critics to decrease the teacher load,
Dare still doesn't have enough pu-
pills to warrant as many teachers
as last year.
The teacher allotment for the
1952-1953 school term shows that
Dare County is actually losing two
teachers for the next school year.
The following allotment was re-
ceived by the superintendent, Mrs.
Mary L. Evans, on June 81:

The Colington students will be
transferred to Kitty Hawk and the
Rodanthe students to Buxton. The
transfer of these students did not
increase the teacher-load enough to
gain extra teachers.
Teacher allotment is based on
average daily attendance for the
proceeding year. Using this basis,
the teacher load in the various
schools of the county for 1952-1953
will be:
