running a new column titled "News
of County Servicemen" and we are
hoping that any of you who have
news of the men in service, will
tell us about it. Everyone is in
terested in these young men, where
they are, and what they are doing,
Be sure to keep US posted.
This is strictly for you efficient
gals-don't go out now and buy all
the things you need for Easter and
tuck them neatly away for three
weeks. Wait until March 81 and
buy them at the Annual Spring
Festival of the Rockville Elemen-
tary School PTA. If you are going
to order flowers for Easter, won't
you order them at the plant table
at the Festival and help the PTA =?
The festival will be held in the
cafeteria at RMHS and will begin
at 7:30 pm. There will be all kinds
of attractions for both the young
sters and the oldsters, far too num-
erous to enumerate here. You will
just have to come and see for your
self; Oh, another thing, don't stock
up on seeds and bulbs for your
garden, either, for there will be
plenty at the Festival. You can't
plant them until after the last
danger Of frost is over, anyway!

University Football
Team Looks Good

Even the most casual observer
OF the past weeks football work
out at the University of Delaware
gets the feeling that this may be
the year for the Fighting Blue
Hens.
A solid, forty-one man squad has
endured the heat and rigOrs of
early conditioning almost without
complaint and has exhibited the
spirit and hustle usually assOcia-
ted with winning performances.
Head coach Dave Nelson spoke
enthusiastically of the great lead
ership job of Captain John Borre-
sen, the punting lineman from
Lyndhurst, New Jersey, who is
carrying on in the tradition of
great Delaware captains. In addi-
ton to his cooperation and hustle,
BOrresen has set a fine example
as a much improved individual
ball player and is considered to
have the edge in punting over his
closest competitors, Bob Hooper,
Rocky CARO-, and Dick McMullen.
Nelson considers his line the
strongest in several years, with
veteran performers battling for
every position. At center, an uneX-
pected struggle is shaping up be-
tween last years number one man,
Frank Gyetvan, and MilfOrd's Jim
my Johnson, who is playing his
best ball since arriving at Della
ware. Guard Gordon Murray and
Gyetan have turned in the best
shOwings as extra point hooters
with the top performer destined to
handle this chOre during the regu-
lar season.
In most respects, the Delaware
line appears stronger than the
hackfield, where the battle for
starting positions still continues.
The Blue Hen runners appear to
have speed to spare, but are han
dicapped by lack of height and
weight. Only Dan Ford and Johnny
Allen are large men and Allen has
been hampered by bad knee which
may limit his playing time

DEATH CLAIMS WELL
KNOWN MANTEO NEGRO

Lemuel r. Wood, well-known
colored man of Manteo, died Mon
day at his home near Manteo at
the age of 76, following an illness
of three months. Funeral services
were conducted at three o'clock
Thursday afternoon at the Manteo
colcred Baptist, with burial in the
family plot near Manteo. He was
the son of the late Lemuel and
Mary Midget Wood. He is surviv-
Cd by one brother, James A. Wood
of Washington, D. c.; and two
sisters, Mrs. Martha J. Scarbor-
ough and Mrs. Eunice Scarborough
of Manteo.
Lem Wood was man we'll liked
by everyone. He never did anyone
any harm nor got into trouble. His
family were all quiet peaceable
people. Lem Wood never worked
himself too hard, but lived happily
From early life he carried perhaps
too heavy burden to permit him
to work. He was laden down with
this name: Lemuel Rudolph John
Stiles Lamb Branch Wood. It was
too much for his friends to carry
also, SO they shortened it to L. R

MARKER HONORS
MIRLO RESCUE
AT RODANTHE
By AYcocK BROWN

Rodanthe. - On the afternoon
of August Is, 1918, a surfman
in the lookout tower of Chica-
macomico Coast Guard station
here was watching steamer
making its way up the coast in
the face of stiff northeaster
and with the aid of a powerful
telescope he could make out
the name ON the bow. She was
the Mirlo, an English tanker,
which a few seconds later was
enveloped in black smoke as the
echoes of an explosion rumbled
shoreward.
An alarm was sounded by the
surfman on lookout and Captain
John Alan Midget, keeper Of the
station prepared to get underway
with a picked crew to render
assistance and hours later after,
battling a sea of fire the six
brave men in the rescue boat
brought AZ men to shore safely.
Ten members of the tanker crew
lost their lives when their boat
overturned as it was leaving the
burning ship.
On Memorial Day this week,
Saturday, May 80, an official
state historical marker will be
erected and unveiled here to
commemorate the world famous
rescue. The unwilling ceremon-
les are scheduled for 2 o'clock
and will be held adjacent to the
new al-paved Mays Head HIATT
'ras highway abreast Chicama-
, comico Station.
The unwilling will be unique,
in that two members of the
Coast Guard crew now living,
will be present frothe unveiling.
They are, Arthur Midget of
Waves community and Leroy
Midget of Wanchese. For the
occasion these two former surf
men will be guests of Rear Ad-
miralR. E. Wood, Commander,
5th Coast Guard District, Nor
folk, who will fly down to the
ceremony with Mrs. Wood and
other dignataries aboard Coast
Guard Helicopter. Prior to the
unwilling Capt. Levene Midget

leo Station, and Warrant Officer

fore harvestable timber will re-
suit, the company spokesman
said.
The property will be operated
and managed as part of the COM
pany's North Carolina Wood
lands project, which is directed
by William Ernst, Jr., whose
staff maintains headquarters at
Manteo, N. C. The paper COM
pany acquired considerable tim
berland in Dare County last
year when it purchased about
100000 acres from Dare Corpora
ton.
When it takes possession of
the Richmond Cedar Works
property the paper company will
manage it on a continuing yield
basis similar to that being insti-
tuted on the former Dare Cor
poration lands. The basic objec-
tive of such a program is to de-
velop the productivity of the
land to a point where it is cap
able of growing and yielding
successive crops of good timber,
year after year.
Prevention of fires on the land
will be first consideration in the
development of the management
program and a broad protection
program will be worked out in
cooperation with state foresters.
1--WE must prevent fires on this
land if we are ever to attain our
goal of a perpetual forest econ
omy for this area of North Caro-
lina," Mr.. Ernst, the woodlands
manager, explained. with the
cooperation of Ian d owner S
throughout the area, we hope to
be able to develope a program
which will be beneficial to the
entire community"

Mrs. Bayne corroborated her
husbands testimony about the
noise, saying that they were
frightened that someone was
trying to break in the restau-
rant or their upstairs apartment.
She stressed that no response
was made to her husbands warn
ing. Similar testimony was CIV
en- by Mrs. Margie Southland,
who is connected with Jockey
Ridge restaurant and lives in
the Bayne apartment.
Among character witnesses put
on for Mr. Bayne were Walter
Spence, SBI agent; Sheriff Frank
Cohoon; Sgt. Logan Lane of the
Highway Patrol; Rep. Bruce

County Commissioner Lawrence
Swain; Capt. w. H. Lewark and

In addressing the jury, Mr..
Bayne's attorneys, ]. Henry Lee
Roy and w. H. McCown, en-
phasized the lateness of the
hour, that the defendant could
not have known the identity or
age of the people, that they made
no response to his warnings,
that they were ON a parking
space plainly marked "for pa
irons of Jockey Ridge restau.
rant" that the boys having been
there before knew they were on
private property and knew the
restaurant was closed.
The states solicitor pointed to
the appearance of the boys to
show that any insinuation they
were up to no good was ridicu.
louS. He denied that he had re-
jected as jurors anyone because
they were from the beach, but
that he had tried to get an un.
prejudiced jury, that the boys
were not interfering with bust
ness by being parked in front
of the restaurant, that they were
not being boisterous and thai
they did not have time to gel
away before the shots were fired
Ethel Twiford of East Lake
was found innocent of a charge
of assault with deadly weapon
in connection with a shooting.
The charge was brought by
Hubert Ambrose.

partment, the Health Depart
ment and the County Library.
We call attention to a current
issue of a state publication show
ing that Dare, which ranks 98th
in population, leads all the state
in public library service to its
people.
Law Enforcement
eve believe the employment
of good peace officers is less
costly and otherwise more bene-
fetal than the trial and punish
ment of offenses that good Off
GERS might prevent. We therefore
recommend the employment of
one or more good peace officers
for the protection of our beach
areas in the north end of the
county, and one to serve the
people of Hatteras Island. We are
aware that a large part of our
tax income, and larger part of
our private income is brought
us by tourists and beach prop
erty owners. Therefore we think
everything reasonable should be
done to insure the safety and
comfort of our paying guests;
to provide law and order for
their peace of mind and their
sense of well-being while here;
and to encourage their continued
visits to us.
Speeding and reckless driv-
ing is complained of as a great
problem; and particularly ON
Colington Island and Hatteras
Island should some vigorous en-
forcement be exerted and some
speed zones set up to limit such
practices.
I'VE are pleased with the gen.
eral fine management of our
schools, and note that with few
exceptions the buildings are in
good condition and a credit to
the county. Some minor repairs
are recommended for the Kitty
Hawk school. The most serious
school problem brought to our
attention is the failure to re-
lieve the bad conditions in the
ANTICIPATED Buxton school. Near
ly two hundred thousand dollars
is available for the construction
of a school in this area. and yet
no vigorous action is being TAX
en-, and the children of this area
have been for three years the
losers.
I'VE offer these suggestions in
no spirit of complaint, but in

Where War Dead Sleep
BY ALICE X. RoNDrHALER

Ocracoke, May % = Again
this year Ocracoke school child
rem are to hold a Memorial Ser
vice at the little cunningham
cemetery here, where four Brit
ishers from HMS Bedfordshire
torpedoed in May 1912 off the
Carolina Coast, are laid to rest
A year ago the story of the Brit
ish Graveyard with its four
white Crosses for 1t. Tom Gum
ingham, Stanley A. Craig, A. B.,
and two unidentified Britishers
aroused considerable outside in
terest. The British Embassy in
Washington, D. c. sent small
British flags in the name of "Her
Majesty's Ambassador" and
thanked 'the community and the
local Coast Guard Unit for its
care of the Graveyard. -Four
more flags came from a Norfolk
gentleman with the request for
the address of ten-year-old Tom
Cunningham, Jr., in England: a
large British flag came from a
lady in York, Pennsylvania;
letters came from people now
living in various parts of North
Carolina who had known 1t.
Cunningham and Capt. Davis,
Officer-in-charge of the Bedford
shire during their short stay at
Morehead City, N. c., and the
above pictures of 1t. Cunning
ham Qeft) and Capt. Davis
(right) were brought to Ocracoke
by S. S. Stevenson of Henderson,
who had entertained them at
dinner aboard his yacht in More
head City on May 10th, just four
days before the dead bodies were
found on Ocracoke Beach. These
letters and these pictures were
taken last summer by Miss Fam
ME Pearl Fulcher, of Ocracoke
and Raleigh, to Mrs. Cunning
ham and Mrs. Davis when she
visited them in England on tour
of Europe. Both wives were de-
lighted to have the pictures and
the letters. 1t. Cunningham had
written his wife of the new
beard that he was growing" and
she had the opportunity in the
snapshot to see it. The body of
Capt. Davis was never identified,
but letters from Mrs. Davis in
dictate that she likes to think
that he, too, is buried with his
close friend here at Ocracoke
where people are interested.
Another body was found and
buried at Cape Hatteras; another
found ON shoal up Pamlico
Sound was buried at Swan Quar-
ter. All were identified as from
the Bedfordshire; a British pa
troll craft, which disappeared
with all hands lost en- route
from Norfolk to its temporary
home port at Morehead CITY.
