REPUBLICAN, c0NlVENT'N
ANNOUNCED IN DARE CO.
". G. Williams, County Chairman
Says June 18th Chosen;
Wilkinson Expected
to Speak

After many years of inactivity
in Dare County, the Republicans
are showing signs of life, and
County Chairman, V. G. Williams
of Wanchese announces a county
convention will be held at the
Dare County Court House at 8 p.
m. Wednesday, June 18th.
This meeting he says, is to elect
the party officials and to nomi-
nate candidates for various county
office in the November election.
Mr.. Williams says he expects
to have Hon. John A. Wilkinson,
prominent Republican leader of
Washington, N. c., attend this
meeting to speak to the gathering.
All people who believe in our two
party system of American govern
ment are urged to attend, he says.
The Republicans have not had a
county ticket in the field since
1884. At that time most of the
leaders of the party were of the
older generation that are now
nearly all dead. During the Roosc-
aelt administration many of the
younger members became affilia-

SEEK INCREASED TRIPS
OVER OREGON INLET
Big Influx of Visitors Makes II
Difficult for Normal Traffic
TO Be Accommodated

Commissioner James Scarbor-
ough of Avon voiced the distress
of Hatteras Island people over the
crowded condition of the Oregon
Inlet ferry when he got the Dare
Board to request increased day
time service at the inlet, plus one
trip during the night.
Due to the enormous amount
of publicity that has been going
out about Hatteras Island and the
new road, great increase in tou-
rist travel has swamped the ferry
until many times cars are turned
back. Some cannot wait for the
next boat.
Moreover citizens of the island
in the normal course Of their BUSH
ness find themselves greatly in
convenienced and delayed in trav-
ell. They are frantic about getting
more trips.
Close observers say there is lit
tie prospect of getting much in
crease in service. A road now be-
ing built under contract is not
quite complete-lacks some weeks
Of being fully put down. Moreover,
it is expected to not be complete
at all before the fall, because it
must be worked over and over.
1t is to the interests Of the con-
tractor to discourage as much ira
vel as possible, during the period
of construction. Some of the high
way employees also wish to dis
courage traffic, and this small
number take il as a personal az.
front if the needs Of the public
Inconvenience them, in any de-
gree. Meantime the public may ex-
pect to suffer untoward inconven-
fence and expense.

SHORT COURSE IN
DRIVING; PERMITS
TO BE REQUIRED
Highway Safety Division to
Begin Campaign to Get
Hatteras Islanders OPP
orators Licenses
By BEN DIXON MacNEILL


Buxton on Cape Hatteras, June
6.-Until they have learned traf-
fic laws and regulations and ac-
customed themselves to obser-
vance of them residents of the
Seven Villages of Hatteras Is
land will be cited to appear at
the school house for admonition
and remonstrance rather than to
the court house for trial and pun
ishment and so can be chalked up
another American "first" for Dare
county and for American law en-
forcement.
Long without any sort of road
residents of Hatteras Island have
driven whatever they could get to
drive and have driven it where
ever, whenever and however they
could, without any thought of reg
ulations. No license has been re-
quired either for driver or for
vehicle and, curiously enough,
often the more delapidated the
vehicle the more satisfactorily
would it perform against the haz-
ards of a roadless terrain.
But times have changed on the
Island. Already there is stretch
of 35 miles of more or less COM
pleted pavement with more build
ing, and by mid-July the length
of the Island from Oregon Inlet
to Hatteras Inlet will be traversed
by a paved road. And for some
time the need of some sort of traf-
fic regulation and control mas be-
come increasingly apparent, and
the need is more apparent than
ever with the constantly thicken-
ing stream of traffic. Tourist
traffic on the Island has already
trebled this year.
There have been accidents. Sew
enteen of them already this year
requiring the services of either
undertaken or doctor and a dozen
more where happily only the sew
ices of garage mechanics were
required. This week Col. Landon
C. Rosser, Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles and Colonel Smith, COM
mander of the State Highway Pa
troll, came down to acquaint them
solves with conditions and with
the need of some sort of traffic
supervision.
Already a patrolman has been
assigned to the Island for duty
over weekends, when most Of the
accidents seem to happen, and
after July and the completion Of
the road, man will be on whole
time duty here. They checked the
Island thoroughly, visiting The
scene of each accident and stud

COST OF RUNNING
COUNTY MAY RUN
HIGH AS 100000
Larger Amounts Sought for
Various Departments for
Coming Fiscal Year

If the various requests for in
creased appropriations for opera
ting Dare County are met, the
budget this next fiscal year will
run well above the 100000 mark.
The Board of Commissioners will
hold a special meeting June to
consider the requests and fix the
budget.
The schools are asking for some
$4,000 more than last years
budget. A tremendous increase in
welfare funds is asked to help
the needy of the county and hire
help to give the money out. A
new full time worker for the blind
will be established in the county,
bringing the total of the welfare
staff to seven.
Frank Hemilwright, Forest Fire
Warden appeared before the
Board this week requesting the
appropriation for Fire Control be
increased from $1,700 to 2,04O.
An appeal has come for help
from the County Library Com
mission. There is need for bull
ding for the library. The number
of books have increased in ten
years from 1928 to $4,000.
An increase in funds for the
Health Department is asked.
There is need for county infirm-
airy. The Welfare requirements
are most rapidly growing because
of need of the clients in the face
of rising costs of living. The budg-
ct set up last year was for $751;
1886, or $1,000 more than the
school budget. The cost of ad-
ministration was estimated origi-
nally at about $4,000.
The total estimated cost last
year.. of the county budget was
set up at $171,O00. Nearly $685.
900 of this sum goes for interest
and retirement of county bonds.
The total property valuation was
$12,115, 600. This year the valua-
ton has increased to about $13,-
100000.
Cost OF operation of the county
four years ago was about $685.
900. Like everything else, the cost
of living is going up.
The total increased tax income
with the present tax rate of 90
should yield some seven or eight
thousands in readily collectible
taxes over last years income.
Whenever some new money APP
pears in sight, there are many
demands on every hand to call for
it. In this years case it looks like
three or four times the anticipat-
ed increase will be needed. The
Commissioners will have some
headaches before it is over.
Maybe those who didn't get
nominated in Saturdays primary
can be thankful they didn't get
into what looks like a stormy term
ahead.

TRIBUTE PAID TO
DAVE DRISKILL IN
SPITE Of WEATHER
Prominent Figures Speak at
Unwilling of Plaque at
Manteo Airport
Last Friday

Despite the bad weather of the
weekend, which prevented many
people from reaching Manteo as
they had planned, by airplane last
Friday, the ceremony at the Man
teo Airport proved highly success
full as many old friends and neigh
bors and prominent people paid
tribute to the late flier's contri-
button to aviation.
Officials from the Kellett Air
craft Co. for whom Driskill tested
helicopters at the time of his
death, were grounded because of
weather and could not come as
they had planned. Likewise num-
erous other filters from many
states.
The tablet carries the following
inscription:
''This tablet in tribute to John
David Driskill, manager of the
Manteo Airport, 1946-49, pioneer
pilot of the North Carolina Coast
land, who after lifetime of safe
flying and many missions of mercy
gave his life to make aircraft safer
for others, Moorestown, N. j.,
October 3, 1949."
Parents Present
The memorial, just outside the
airport hanger, was unveiled by
Driskill's father, M. F. Driskill,
who with Mrs. Driskill had come
from their home in Knoxville,
Tenn, for the ceremonies. The
mother tenderly laid a wreath at
