WHAT EVERY YOUNG FATHER
SHOULD KNOW
by Dick Ashbaush

Here's advice to young
parents from an old
parent who has learned
absolutely nothing -.
nNE of the occupational haz-
" ards of being a parent today
is listening to the professional adj
vice of non-parents. Sprinkled like
fine snow over the bookstalls are
hundreds of volumes outlining the
procedure Of deep freezing children
for future use by society.
1t is not unusual to see young
parents nibbling their fingernails
over this advice, torn between
devotion and grim scientific duty.
Doctor, little Arnold has BEEN
throwing oranges at his playmates.
Does this mean he is anti-social?"
The doctor replies grimly that
they'd better keep an eye on little
Arnold. or he'll be putting crow
bars on the railroad tracks.
DuAdinR Pitcher
A BETTER answer might be, us
Arnold getting any speedinto those
oranges, and is he hitting what he
aims at9 If 80 gradually substitute
a baseball for the oranges, and
Arnold may someday be pitching
for the Yanlxs."
There was a period some years
hack when my wife used to curl
up with the child guidance litera-
ture. / tried it myself, but the ex-
perience was 50 unnerving that ]
went into the basement and started
building a ship IN a bottle. First
the bottle had to be emptied. and
this meant calling IN several friends
and running upstairs for ice.
Each time passed my wife she
would say. did you know a child's
fear of darkness is sometimes
caused by tight mittens1"

CAR GOES INTO
RIVER AT LONG
SHOAL BRIDGE

Two visiting ladies in Dare
County had an enjoyable visit
during the week end, but before
they got out of Dare County had
a close call at Long Shoal River
Bridge Saturday about noon
when a bee stung the driver
causing her to Jose control of the
car.
Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks of Char
lotte, a buyer for many years for
a large department store accom-
panied by Mrs, c. T. Bowers, of
Warrenton, wife of the Adjutant
General of North Carolina, had
been visiting Mrs. Bowers sister
in Manteo, Mrs. R. S. Smith, wife
of the Dare Farm Agent. They
had visited Hatteras and the Lost
Colony, and were returning via
Belhaven to visit friends.
When Mrs. Brooks lost control
of the Chevrolet car, it was a
third of the way across the
bridge, and crashed through the
rail to her right, and fell on its
side, completely submerged in
the river. Miraculously, both wo-
men crawled through the open
window of the car, and swan to
safety. Mrs. Brooks had beer
driving at low speed, or the dam
age might have been greater
Passers by were quick on the
scene and pulled them to safety
Jesse Taylor of Be1haven
drove IS miles to the scene and
pulled the car from the river
with his wrecker, and lowed il
to Belhaven. It was considered
a complete loss. Relatives came
and carried Mrs. Brooks and Mrs
Bowers to Warrenton Saturday
evening.

BEATING FATAL
TO BUXTON MAN
IN NEW JERSEY
Ross E. Midget, 80, Killed
Sunday Morning; II
Suspects Held

Ross E. Midget, 80, formerly of
Cape Hatteras, and the son OF
Warren Midget of Buxton was ia
tally beaten to death in "Lovers
Lane" near Morristown, N. j., Sun
day morning. Twelve men, mostly
zeal young, one of whom was car
ing Midgett's wallet, have been
y rested.
County Prosecutor Oscar Laurie
said Midget, was beaten to death
in a lovers lane in Danville early
Sunday morning.
Midget, 80, came from Buxton,
N. c., to New Jersey three
months ago to work in a Boon
ton plastics factory. He also had
lived at Portsmouth, Va. He was
engaged to be married to a Mont
clair girl.
Laurie said that Midget rode
out to the lonely lane in his car
with four other men. He said two
other cars followed with II more
men.
He said Midgette was verbally
abused" and then dragged out of
the car and beaten up.
He said that when Midgett's
blood-spattered body was found his
wallet was missing, but h the
wallet, minus any money, was
found on one of the suspects to-
day. Laurie said Midget reputedly
carried much money with him.
Laurie said this indicated h e
motive for the killings might be
robbery or revenge" He did not
explain the revenge" motive.
Midget had lived in New Jer-
sey 10 years ago before going to
North Carolina. His sister-in-law,
Mrs. aJmes B. Scarborough, of
Portsmouth, said NEARLY all of the
men of the family were members
of the Coast Guard"
Midgett's body was found in a
ditch yesterday alongside his
parked car. He had been beaten
around the head and an autopsy
showed he died of a brain hem
orrhage.
Dare County Commissioner
Lloyd Scarborough is an uncle of
the dead MAJ
The coui osprospector has an
nounced that George Compo, %,
and Richard Mitchell, 16, of Den
Vile, N. j., will be tried on muir
vile, N. j., will be tried on muir
der charges. These two are the al
legged ringleaders of the group, to-
falling 13 in all. Midget had been
nown to carry large sums of mon
y, but apparently had little at the
time the boys lured him into the
lane and beat him to death.
Funeral services were conduct
ed Thursday afternoon at three
o'clock in the Pentecostal Holt
ness church in Buxton. Burial
followed in the Dudley Gene
terry.

HISTORICAL MARKER
TO BILLY MITCHELL
ERECTED ON HATTERAS

Hatteras.-North Carolina paid
homage to the late Brigadier Gen
eral Billy Mitchell on Hatteras Is
land this week by erecting a his
torical marker alongside the high
way at the site of his landing field
in 1923 when he proved that sur
face craft were vulnerable to
bombing attacks by airplanes.
Saturday, September 5, is the
Both anniversary of the date when
bomb-laden Martin bombers took
off from the local flying field and
sank two battleships, the USS Vir-
ginia and the USS New Jersey,
which had been anchored off Dia-
mond Shoals. The two battleships
had been included in the World
War | disarmament program.
The marker bears the following
inscription: BILLY MITCHELL
Brigadier General of the Army Air
Service, demonstrated air power
by bombing battleships off Halter
as, Sept. 5, 1928. Landing Field
was here"
This will be the 7th historical
marker erected under the sponsor
ship of the State department of
history and archives, the depart
ment Of conservation and develop
ment and the N. c. Highway and
Public Works Commission along
the historic highways of Dare
County.
No Celebration
Tentative plans to have an un-
yelling celebration at the site of
the marker was cancelled this
week. Residents of Hatteras were
of the opinion that since the Both
anniversary date falls on a Sat-
urday that it would be impossible
to adequately take care of the
great number of people who would
be at the ceremonies due to lack of
Oregon Inlet ferry service.
