BOUND OVER TO
MAY COURT FOR
STORE BREAKING
Three Heard in Hyde Monday
for Robbery of Spencer's
EngeIhard Store

Three young men were bound
over Monday to the May term of
Superior Court in Hyde County
after being heard by Recorders
Judge Joe Simmons on a charge
of breaking into the store of R. S.
Spencer of Engelhard on Monday
night, October 9th. Their bonds
were set at $500 each for appear
ance next May. One of the de-
PENDANTS, Lawrence Gray, had fur
nished bond prior to the hearing.
The value of the goods stolen
was estimated at $500. The other
two men were Carol Gibbs, form
erly of Engelhard and Edward
Beach of Norfolk. They had no
bond at the time of the trial.
The three men, who later admit
ted the deed, went into Mr.. Spen-
GERS store in the early morning
hours of Tuesday, and got the
merchandise which they had plan
ned to sell. By 5 am. they had
gotten as far as Edenton, but there
a burned-out tail-light resulted in
their being stopped, and suspi-
cious officer, after seeing the
clothes in the back of their car,
got an admission of their origin.
He promptly notified the Sheriff
of Hyde County who came for the
three men, returned the clothing
to the owner, and got the admis-
sion of the boys that they went
in the store, but had been drinking
at the time of the theft.

FERRY SERVICE
ADVOCATED FOR
OCRACOKE ISLE
Swan Quarter and Carteret
County Interests Look
LongingIy Towards 1t

A lot of talk has come up about
establishing an automobile ferry
to Ocracoke Island. Folks on the
mainland of Hyde County, to which
Ocracoke Island belongs politically,
say that ferry should be estab-
lished between Ocracoke and Swan
Quarter.
Carteret County interests throw
cold water on the proposal, and
salty cold water at that. They
say it just wouldn't do, that the
ferry for Ocracokers properly
should terminate at Atlantic or
Cedar Island in their county. There
is whole lot to be said both ways,
but when it is summed up, it may
be that neither group is seeking
the most eXpedient and useful out
let. We shall see, but first we will
quote what the Carteret County
NeVs-Times has to say about it:
Swan Quarter Route Would De-
ACot VI POSCS VI TeIEy
Human nature being what it is,
it is understandable that residents
of Hyde County want the proposed
car ferry from Ocracoke to go to
the mainland of their county rather
than to Cedar Island or Atlantic.
Some serious thought, however,
should convince them that such a
route would defeat the purpose of
the ferry.
''The Hyde countians base their
claim for the ferry on the fact
that Ocracoke is in Hyde County.
They, naturally, feel that any bust
ness brought by the ferry should
go to Hyde county.
"The purpose of the ferry, how
ever, is to benefit the entire coas-
tai area, not just one county. The
ferry from Ocracoke to Cedar Is
land or Atlantic would connect
with U. S. 20 and provide coastal
highway from Virginia to South
Carolina.
"Such a highway would bring in
creased tourist traffic to the en-
tire coastal area. Ocracoke would
benefit as well as the other COM
munities along the proposed route.
Routing these tourists through
Hyde County would decrease the
traffic along the highway. The
inconvenience would be great
enough to discourage MOTORISTS
from using the road. While all of
Hyde county would then benefit
from the tourist traffic, there
would be much less of it.
Clyde county, or at least a part
of it, will benefit from the pro-
posed coastal highway. This, in the
long run, will be better for the
county than a short period of in
creased prosperity. A little thought
should convince the residents of
this"
Northern Route Advocated
Now there is a large group of
people, including many from Ocra-
coke and Hatteras Islands who
think proposed ferry across the
long expanse of briny, and often
rough water would never develop
into a worthwhile project. They
say the logical outlet now is for
Ocracokers to come across Halter
as Inlet by ferry, and continue
without interruption to wherever
they want to go. Here are some

SCOUTS THRILLED
BY VISIT TO THE
'OUTER BANKS
By BEN DIXON MacNEILL

Dun YIN yin SAI Il T1A L EN-
AS, Nov. 11.-Since there is a
paved road there is never any pre-
dieting what will come rolling
down it and this week end Halter
as Island got its first glimpse of a
species called Boy Scouts of Amer
lea when about 100 of them from
the Tidewater Council which CEN
ters in Norfolk and covers the AL
bemarle area of North Carolina,
came down for a go at explora
ton.
Native youths came out from
their villages and looked at them,
from a distance at first and then
at closer range, and yet closer
when they caught sight of foot
ball being fondled in the company
street. That did it. The native
youths entered the camp and pres
emily they were mixed up in their
very first football game-and this
is probably the most fanatical
football country in America.
Things went on from there. Be-
fore nightfall the visiting Scouts
were over in Buxton village, gath
cred at the school house where the
PTA, mothers mostly of the local
youths, were dishing out ice cream
and cake and everybody was talk.
ing about organizing a troop or
two of Scouts for Hatteras Island.
And by bed time nobody could
have told resident boy from visit
ing boy except the natives were
trying to trade them out of the
football.
Between times the visiting
Scouts explored the Island as well
as they could. They climbed the
tallest lighthouse in the world and
marvelled at what they saw. They
dipped themselves in the Atlantic
Ocean-on the warm side of the
Point = and they explored the
grave of the six members of the
crew of the USS Monitor who
washed ashore and were buried
here.
Also they were shown orange
trees and grapefruit trees with
fruit and blooms on them. They
saw pair of 35-pound drum
hauled out of the ocean on the
Point and they discovered the bur
ial place of large whale and ex-
cavated a joint or tow of it's back
bone to carry back to their several
troop headquarters by way of dec
Grafton and trophy. Altogether
they got in about as busy week
end as any expedition has been
through with.
Camp was established in the
level area between Byram Hill and
tine U. S. Coast Guard station and
they found firewood handy in the
hundreds of pine trees that were
killed by the fire that swept the
Cape Hatteras park area in 1885,.
Stunt-night was staged around a
massive bonfire Saturday night
and on Sunday morning religious
services were held with the Rev.
Mr.. Rayle, pastor of the Ass emily
Church in Buxton as leader. Rayle
is the choice of the youngsters Of
the community for scout-master
for the proposed troop on the Out
er Banks.
Advance arrangements for the
encampment were made by Field
Executive Raymond F.. Hecx, Jr.,
of Elizabeth City and the partici-
pating troops were brought down
in four massive trucks put at their
disposal by the National Gard
Service Company in Elizabeth
City: These were the first OF the
Army's big trucks seen on the Is
land and they negotiated the sandy
road between the highway and the
camp site without difficulty.

Cape Hatteras.-A 56h pound
channel bass was landed in the

RACING BAN SOUGHT

BASEL, Switzerland-(P -(P)-Auto-
mobile races are directly respon-
sible for the increase in fatal road
accidents in Switzerland, according
to Dr. Carl Haffter, head of the,
psychiatric clinic Of the University
of Basel.
In a full-page article in the
newspaper Basler >Nachrichten, DR..
Haffter declared that the annual
Grand Prix of Switzerland at Bern
gave a psychological encourage.
ment to wild driving and should
be banned. The races are watched
every year by some 10000 specta-
tors. Since they were resumed in
1947, 10 persons have been killed
and, more than 80 seriously hurt
in track accidents.
Dr. Haffter's article suggested
that automobile drivers among the.
spectators developed both an urge
for excessive speed and a callous
disregard for human life through
watching the races.
