PUBLICITY-HUNGRY
COUPLE BRING SUITS
Dare Court Clerk and Welfare Of
icer Sued; Other Suits Threat
en- Newspapers and Per-
uuimans Sheriff

Well, as was predicted, they
were going to sue somebody.
They love so we'll to see their
names in print, and famish for
publicity. This concerns two peo-
pile from Washington, D. c., who
came to Dare County and got
involved in a case about their
children not going to school.
Since they don't like us, we might
as well make them unhappy by
leaving their names out. Our
readers know who they are.
Summons and copy of a COM
plant in two $4,000 libel suits
brought by two publicity-hungry
people, one against Dare County
Superior Court Clerk and Juve-
nile Court Judge c h a un e y
Meekins and the other against
Mrs. Goldie Meekins, Dare Coun-
ty Superintendent of Welfare,
were served Monday.
Complaints in the two actions
were filed August 9. Each alleges
libel and defamation of charac-
ter.
The complaint against Clerk
Meekins specifically alleges that
the defendant did commit defam-
alton of character in a warrant
issued April 10, 1851. And that
on May Is, 1851, the plaintiff die
SANDER and damage the reputa-
ton of the plaintiffs.
The complaint against Mrs
Goldie Meekins alleges that or
April II, 1851, the defendant did
commit libel and SANDER and did
damage the reputation of the
plaintiffs.
The complaint further alleges
that in the same petition Mrs
Goldie Meekins argos the
plaintiff husband with vagrancy,
Finally the complaint alleges
that on or about April Is the
defendant did commit Islander in
Washington, D.. c.
The complaints filed in Dare
County followed a complaint filed
August 2 in Perquimans County
by the plaintiff wife in which she
charges Perquimans Sheriff Mel.
vim G.. Owens, The Elizabeth City
Daily Advance, and The Coast
land Times with libel, Islander
and defamation of character.
No bond was posted in thi.
case and no papers have beer

BODIE ISLAND
LAND SOUGHT
FOR SHORE PARK

At the request of tht National
Park Service, the u. S. Attorney
General Wednesday filed in the
Eastern District of Federal Court
in Raleigh petition for the con-
demnation of land south of
Whalebone on Bodie Island to be
included in the proposed Cape
Hatteras National Seashore Rec
reation Area.
Lands listed in the Jcondemna-
ton action comprise the total &C.
QUESTION of Bodie Island. The
section fronting on the Atlantic
Ocean for several miles south of
Whalebone, where there has been
considerable summer home de-
velopment recently, is not includ-
ed in the area of the suit.
This exemption not only leaves
on the county tax books the re-
Gently constructed cottages, it
was learned, but also a consider
able area for the southwark ex-
pansion of the Mays Head colony.
Condemnation action is said to
be necessary to clear the title to
some of the land and is expected
to speed up the process of acqui-
sition and prevent further de.
velopment and land speculation
in the specified acquisition area.
Listed as defendants in the &C.
ton are tht State of North Caro-
lima, the southerly portion Of
Bodie Island, Mays Head Town
ship, Dare County; W.. "A. Worth
ct al, and other owners.
Regional Director Ebert Cox of
the National Park Service said
yesterday the land acquisition
project office recently established
in Manteo under the direction of
A. G. Stratton, is making ap-
praisalS and securing title data
on the properties included in the
condemnation area as well as the
