DEATH CAN BE QUICK
WITH FUN ON WATER
Bonnie c. Davis, MOyOck, Drown.
ed When Water Skis and
Boat Collide

MOYOCK.-The joy of an after
noon water-skiing party was turn
ed into mourning Sunday with the
drowning of a young Moyock High
School graduate and senior at N.
c. State College.
The young man drowned was
Bonnie Cole Davis, whose body
was recovered, from the waters
of Hannahs Landing off the Tull's
Creek road two miles from the
center of Moyock's shopping dis
trict at las this morning.
The drowning occurred when
Davis, on skis, was in collision
with an cupboard motor boat being
operated by Henry Doxey. Accord
ing to Currituck Coroner Bryan
Smith, Davis was being drawn by
a boat occupied by other members
of his party. Experiencing some
difficulty with his skis and swing
ing from side to side in an effort
to adjust one of them, he did not
see the boat pilOted by Doxey,
which was in the act of turning
around when the collision occurred.
According to eyewitnesses, both
men were thrown into the air
When Davis hit the water he dis
appeared and was not seen again
until his body was recovered near
lu IN bo1Jre 1otor
Doxey's boat after he went over
board, began running around in
circles, and Doxey managed to
catch hold of it as it circled
around him. Reaching into the
boat he cut off the motor, scram-
bled aboard and then BACKED out.
He was taken to the Albermarle
Hospital in Elizabeth City where
he was treated and released.
The body was recovered by two
Coast Guardsmen from the Coast
Guard Depot at Coinjock, H. In
gram and Kenneth Roberts, the
latter a Currituck boy. Assisting
in the effort to recover the body
were crews from fire departments
at Elizabeth City and Great Bridge
and number of neighbors and
friends.
Davis was the son of Mrs. Wiley
Franklin Brinkley and the late
Archie Davis, lifelong resident
of Moyock.

SEASONS BIGGEST
DAY AT LEARY'S
SUNDAY, SEPT. Z
Sadie Hawkins Day" Ex-
pected to Draw Crowds
Larger Than Any Year
Previous

1T was big day the first year."
said W. K. Leary, speaking about
the opening seasons Sadie Haw-
kins Day in 1949. But each year
has been an improvement, with
more prizes, and consequently,
more fun for all.
Sadie Hawkins Day" this year
will be Sunday, September z, with
the first game starting at IL noon.
Bingo will be played until every
prize has been given away.
Such prizes as mixers, dinner
ware, luggage, an cupboard motor,
bicycle, jewelry and hundreds
of other valuable prizes will be
given to the winners. A G. E.
television will be given the winner
of the last game.
"Sadie Hawkins Day" draws
hundreds of people from distant
places in North Carolina and Vir-
glnia and other states, every year,
to play for such valuable awards
as mentioned. No increase in price
will be made-double cards still
100.
There is only one way to sum
it all up-and that's the way Leary
does-"A day of fun, for young
and old" 1t should bet always
has been.

HERE'S A STORY TO
TOUCH THE HEART

Somewhere on the Dare Coast
a mother and father might have
enjoyed a trip while bitter TRACE
dy awaited them.
A worried grandfather in Rock
ingham Monday, tried to contact
his mentioning daughter to warn
her that her six-year-old son had
been bitten by a raaid dog.
Arthur Capel, said his son-in-
law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs
Henry C. Stogner, and their son
left for a vacation in the Manteo
area shortly after the boy, Sonny
was bitten by a dog last Thurs
day.
Capel said the head of the dog
was sent to laboratory for exam
ination and he received a report
indicating that the animal was
definitely" rabid.
Capel said the Stogners left no
forwarding address, saying only
that they would spend their vaca-
ton around Manteo.

SH RIMP SEASON
SU FFERS MUCH
FROM HURRICANE

Loss of thousands of dollars of
income to the shrimp fishermen
of North Carolina, and to bust
ness in Engelhard, which is the
largest center of the industry in
the state, is estimated as result
of the backwash of winds which
followed the hurricane last week
off the Florida coast.
Because of the winds many
boats lost their fishing for sew
eral days, and unsettled fishing
reduced the volume of catch in
an already poor season.
Night shrimping and more ex-
tensive and destructive opera
tons over the years is believed
to be threatening the entire in
dustry. Many seasoned observers
believe it is only a matter of a
short time before shrimping, like
other fishing, may be completely
depleted and improbable to most
new deriving a living from the
industry.
Although a poor season it has
been of great help to many fish
ermen, and particularly to bust
neSsmen in Engelhard. It is now
believed that industry will last
near as long this fall as in form
er years.

STATES BIGGEST FERRY
BOAT FOR OREGON INLET
A 3-MOtOred $4,000 Vessel To
Carry "a Cars To Go Into
Service Next Season

The biggest automobile ferry
yet operated in North Carolina
is planned to be built soon and
put into service across Oregon
Inlet by next season. 1t will be
built of wood, having three motors,
and will carry "a cars. 1t will be
more than 100 feet long, and plans
for it will soon be made by naval
architect and bids let for its con-
struction.
The boat was approved last
week by the State Highway Com
mission on Recommendation of
Commissioner H. G. Shelton of
Tarboro.
The present two boats have be-
come completely inadequate for
thetraffic that has resulted from
wide advertising of Hatteras Is
land and the completion of the
new road. A further increase in
business has resulted in the di-
version of traffic from Ocracoke
Island, which also has been the re-
suit of the new road, which gives
the people of Ocracoke and their
visitors, the quickest and easiest
way of travel save flying.
