DARE COUNTY TEACHER
ALLOTMENT FOR 1854

On June 5 the State Board of
Education allotted the following
teachers for Dare County Schools
for the1953-1954 school term:
Manteo: Z elementary teachers;
6 high school teachers.
Manns Harbor: 3 elementary
teachers.
Kitty Hawk: elementary
teachers; 2 high school teachers.
Wanchese: 3 elementary teach
ers.
Stumpy Point: l elementary
teacher.
Avon: 2 elementary teachers.
Buxton: 3 elementary teach
ers; 3 high school teachers.
Hatteras: elementary teach
erS.
Roanoke Colored: 2 elemen-
tary teachers; high school
teacher.
On May % the State Board
had failed to allot any high
school teachers for Kitty Hawk
or any elementary teachers for
Stumpy Point. The original allot-
ment also gave Buxton only
three high school teachers in
stead of the four teachers allott-
ed in previous years. The Dare
County Board of Education i'm
medlately requested reconsider
alton of this allotment. AS re-
suit the State Board did REIN
state the Kitty Hawk High
School and the Stumpy Point
School, but would not give the
extra high school teacher to
Buxton.

A JUDGE RULES
BUXTON SHOULD
BE SCHOOL SITE
Judge Burney in Superior
Court Holds State Board
Was in Its Rights in
Denying Avon the
School

In the school battle of Buxton
versus Avon, Judge John j. Bur
ney cast his vote for Buxton
last Thursday.
The State Board of Education
was exactly right, he ruled in
Wake Supior Court, when it re-
fused to approve the use of State
money for a school on what it
considered an unsafe location at
Avon. The judge ordered dismis-
sal of suit brought against the
State Board by Dare County's
Board of Education.
The Dare County Board first
settled on Buxton as it debated
a site for a 100000 consolidated
school for Hatteras Island. The
State Board promptly approved
use of State building money for
the Buxton school.
Many Avon citizens joined
hands in financing a strenuous
fight to have this school built in
their village, They made many
trips to Manteo and Raleigh, ap-
pearing before County and State
Boards. They hired able legal
talent to assist them.
Then the Dare officials chang
ed their minds and swung to
Avon. But the State Board balk-
ed. It's engineers said that the
exposed, seaside location at Avon
was unsafe as a school site. The
State Board thus had a moral
and legal right, its members felt,
to withhold use of taxpayers
money for building on what
they called an unsuitable site.
Assistant Attorney General
Claude Love spread that argu-
ment before Judge Burney last
week. The State Board, he said,
did not challenge the right of the
local board to pick school site.
Nevertheless, the board has the
right to withhold funds when
g school site is deemed unsafe.
The Cater Banks school was
intended to replace three pre-
sent schools and including the
Buxton school. All Hatteras Is
land pupils from grades one
through II will attend it. These
are the pupils of the seven will
ages OF Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo,
avon, Buxton, Frisco and Hat
teras on Hatteras Island.

TITANIUM DEPOSIT
ON OUTER BANKS
NOT W'RTH MINING
Dupont and National Officials
Don't Intend to Dig Up
Sands in Search of
llmenite

Officials of the E. 1. dupont de
Memours and Company in Will
mington, Delaware and the Ma
tlonal Lead Company of III
Broadway, New York = ity have
spiked rumors that the Outer
Banks of North Carolina where
Cape. Hatteras National Seashore
IS now in the process of being
created, contains a great wealth
of tltanium minerals. Thomas
II. Miller, acting director of the
U. S. Bureau of Mines of the De-
partment of the Interior also
gave negative report on the
possibilities of heavy metal de-
posltS in the area from a COM
mercial standpoint.
The reports were made to Con-
lad L. Wirth, director of the Ma
tlonal Park Service in Wash
ington following published re-
ports earlier this year that a po-
tentlal wealth of titanium and
kindred heavy metals would not
be available in the future if the
land was owned by the govern
ment. The information furnished
Wlrth was passed on to Clark
Stratton, lands acquisition officer
here for the Cape Hatteras Ma
tlonal Seashore with office head
quarters in Manteo.
The areas along the Outer
Banks in Pamlico Sound and
Roanoke Sound were prospected
with thoroughness in 1945, and
the entire Hatteras section, from
Hatteras Inlet to Oregon Inlet,
was visited again in 1851 by
Company biologists, said ]. L.
ellison, head geologist of the
Wilmington firm.
AT no place in this section
from Ocracoke Inlet to Nags
Head was any deposit found that
du Pont would consider CONNER
cial. In a few places there was a
concentration of so-called heavy
minerals, but the titanium oxide
content of these heavy minerals
was found to be very low in COM
pariSon with deposits further
south that have been considered
to be commercial" he added.
Therefore, it is our considered
judgement, after studying these
areas, that no commercial pro-
duction of titanium minerals will
ever be profitable in that area"
said ellison.
Clyde M. Wiles, manager of
the mining department of the
National Lead Company, stated:
We have discussed the Cape
HatteraS National Seashore Re-
creational Project with Mr.. STRAIT
ton, the project manager and
curing the interview, the ques
ton arose regarding the mineral
value of the area bounded by
Ocracoke Inlet to the South and
Bodle Island to the North"
The lands within these bound
aries have no economic value to
US at this time and furthermore.
1t Is not our intention to acquire
these lands" said Wiles.
Heavy minerals have been re-
ported at Cape Hatteras and in
the general vicinity for MANY
years, but We have never been
able to locate any deposit that
might warrant commercial ex-
pioitation," said Thomas H. Mill
er acting director of the Bureau
of Mines in Washington"
1T appears that these reports
from groups which have exploit
ed the area, that titanium metals
are not available in the Cape
Hatteras Seashore area" said
Stratton.
