OF METHODISTS
lifted EvangeIistic Mission
to Begin for Week on

simultaneous United EvangeliStic
Mission April 1926. About 900
visiting pastors from surround
ing states will assist the 300 min
listers of the area in preaching
and visitation evangelism cru
sades in the nearly 1900 Metho-
dist churches.
TIL e Methodist churches of
Dare County will cooperate in
this unprecedented endeavor, ac-
cording to an announcement by
Rev. H. R. Ashmore, Manteo pas
tor. Local church committees

Methodist hurch, Elizabeth
City, and Plymouth Methodist

COUNTY BOARD ASKS
SURF RIDING BAN
Other Speed Questions Brought
Up; Beach Garbage Con-
tract Let

The Dare Commissioners Tues
day served notice on law enforce
ment officers in Dare County to
prosecute persons who drive along
the surfside in the prohibited area
Of the Dare County beaches. 1t is
against the law because of the
danger to bathers and others on
the thickly congested beaches, but
the careless, the nit-wits and dare
devilers keep it up to show off and
to brighten people, but the law Of
ficers never do anything about it.
The board also asked a 35-mile
limit at the intersection of the old
Duck road on No. 1853; they asked
that the road from this point be
nardsurfaced to the Kitty Hawk
Baptist Church, and that quarter
mile of road at Avon be surfaced,
along with several other minor
projects.
H. w. Culpepper of Mays Head
bid $4,000 for removal of garbage
on the beach this season, and o.
Burrus of Manteo, $4,000, and was
awarded the contract. There were
no other bidders.
The board declined the Park
Service offer of $4,000 for the
county; $50 acres of land on Bod
lie Island. The jury list for May
Superior Court was drawn.

PARKINSON HOTEL REoPENs

The Parkerson Hotel at Mays
Head opens April IL, thus begin
ming it's 18th consecutive season.
The entire interior has been COM
pletely redecorated during the
winter months but the same home
like atmosphere that has afforded
thousands with the perfect vaca-
ton spot, still remains.
Of course, Mrs. r. B. Ireland,
the owner, will be on hand as usual
to see that the dining room service
is as superb as it has always been
in the past.
The fact that more reservations
and inquiries have been made than
usual for this time of year, seems
to indicate very good season.
Mrs. Ireland's husband, Capt. R. B.
Ireland, has given up his real es-
tate business in Norfolk, Va, to
be with his wife for the summer
season.

ed for eight of the total take on
Saturday and Sunday. Their larg-
est was a 45-pounder and none

cording to Midget.
Raymond Basnett, another Bux-

Saturday night Basnett, who once
made history here by landing four
jumbo striped bass in the surf
with rod and reel, accounted for
four channel bass on Saturday

was history because few anglers
have ever been able to get them
to take lures or bait in the Dare
coast surf.) g

Hotel, Hatteras, stated that one
of his guests, Jack C. Mundine of
Elizabeth City, landed a channel
bass on Sunday at Cape Point.

boo forest" of fishing poles and
rods at the Point of Cape Halter
as on the week end.

Hatteras anglers is the completion
of the new all-paved spur road
which branches from the Hatteras
highway and extends for. two
miles via Cape Hatteras Light
house and paralleling the ocean
surf to a large paved parking area
at the Point.
at means that anglers can now
drive without danger of getting

each year one of the most beautiful
seasons in Dare County and which
each year brings many tourists to
the region, is well underway. The
trees, which outline the sandhiIls
