CONTRACT TO BE
LET FOR SCHOOL
AT BUXTON SOON
Pupils Will Still Not Enjoy
1t This School Term; Four
Years Late BY Dispute

Hope looms anew for the con-
struction of the Cape Hatteras
High School to cost upwards of
100000 and for which funds
have been available for four
years. This possible ending of
this tragic episode for the pupils
of the Outer Banks will be well
come, but through stupidity and
greed this school has been denied
them these years, and they have
suffered irreparable damage.
Plans for new school build
ing at Buxton were approved by
the Dare County Board of Edu-
cation, meeting in special session
Wednesday night. The board
authorized school architect, B. H.
Stevens to let bids for the build
ing.
The new school will serve the
whole outer banks area, replac-
ing schools at Avon, Buxton and
Hatteras.
Contracts are to be let within
the next two months for the r.
classroom, cement block and
brick building.
The building is expected to be
ready for use by the fall of 1855,
too late however for the coming
school term.

FRESH WATER FISHING FAIR
NEAR KITTY HAWK

Kitty Hawk.-F. w. Warning
ton, Charlotte and w. P. Saund-
ers of Southern Pines, struck it
rich, with the black bass fishing
in Kitty Hawk Bay this week.
They had no difficulty landing
their limit and then some. The
'thensome" were released after
being reeled into the boat.
A Greensboro couple, j. A.
Lybrand and G. B. Eason, had
good luck with the Dream and
white perch in fresh waters near
the tiny village of Mashoes on
the Dare mainland, a few miles
north of Manns Harbor.
Fresh water fishing, whether
for black bass, Dream or perch, is
usually a sure bet for anglers
casting in the waters of the
sounds, lakes and streams of the
Dare Coast from mid-spring un-
til December.

ENTRANCE FEE TO BE
CHARGED at FORT RALEIGH

Superintendent Allyn F.
Hanks has announced the re-
sumption of fee collections at
Fort Raleigh National Historic
Site, effective July l, 1854. An
entrance fee for Fort Raleigh
was first established in 1871 but,
because of reduced visitation to
the area and because of reduced
wartime appropriations, its col
lection was suspended in 1914
and has not since been resumed.
The original fee was in the
amount of SOLO which was the
same as for other Service areas
for comparable visitor benefits.
With few exceptions all of the
former SOLO fees have been in
creased to $0.25 as is the per
adult entrance fee to Fort Ra-
leigh.
The fee system generally
spplys to all areas administered
by the National Park Service.
The President in submitting his
1855 Budget to the Congress,
stated that consideration is be-
ing given to adjustments which
would result in increased re-
ceipts to the National Park Serv-
ice, thus returning to the Trea-
sury a larger amount of the costs
of maintaining and operating the
national parks" The fee increas-
es are also in line with Con-
gressional policy which provides
that any service, benefit or pri-
vilege furnished shall be self
sustaining to the fullest extent
possible.
The charging of the fee at Fort
Raleigh is not intended to inter-
fere with the Roanoke Island
Historical Associations present
alton of the pageant "The Lost
Colony. The regulations pro-
vide that the fee will not be
charged after 500 pm. on days
when the pageant is presented.

DRIVING VIOLATIONS IN
DARE COURT PREVAIL

An illegal passing charge
against Robert Ellsworth Perry
of Colrain occupied recorders
court for several hours this week
before the case was finally

the grounds that Perry was not
responsible for the accident

Daniels Jr. found guilty of fight
ing by Judge w. F. Baum were
sentenced to 80 days in Jail sus-
pended on payment of $40 fine

BIG FIRE SWEEPS
OVER HUGE AREA
PULP co. LANDS
May Be Result of Resentment
Over Company's Methods
OF Taking Over Lands

The forest fire that ragged
through some $500 acres of
wood land on the property of the
West Virginia Pulp and Paper
Company in the vicinity of
Stumpy Point was brought under
control by Wednesday of this
week according to reports from
the company office in Manteo.
The blaze is now confined to
ground fire and there is no i'm
mediate danger of further dam
age. Started last Thursday, by
Saturday the fire was threaten
ing Stumpy Point. 1t burned
three miles along the highway in
the direction of Engelhard and
one-half mile deep on the east
side of the highway and one mile
on the west.
District Forester S. A. Dow
dell, assistant district foresters,
w. R. Gregory and T. F. Lowry,
forest rangers and volunteers
brought the fire under control.
Because of the dryness of the
wood, the fire, of causes not de-
termined, spread rapidly. 80
Origin of fires of this nature
are difficult of determination.
However some are of the opinion
that it might have been the work
of some person in whom smould-
erS resentment over the COM
pany's methods in taking title to
lands. Coming into Dare County
snme three years ago, they i'm
set up a legal proceed
ing under the Torrens Land Law
whereby they embraced numer-
GUS tracts of land which many
people had long occupied, or of
which they believed themselves
and their ancestors at law and of
title to be the owners. Most of
those who saw their holdings so
engulfed gave up without a
struggle, knowing the futility of
attempting to combat the mil
lions of this big company and
its battery of high power law
yers. While the lands they claim
ed seemed of great value to the
erstwhile owners, they could
never raise the funds nor hope
to justify the expense essential
to a legal tilt with the land COM
pany, well expecting to find
themselves and their cases worn
out in court, and the outcome
upon legal circulocu-
ton rather than justice itself.

PIER FISHING SPOTTY
DURING PAST FEW DAYS

Mays Head.-Generally speak
ing the pier fishing over the
ocean in the Mays Head region
during the past few days has
been below par. This could be
credited to the weather, because
normally midsummer is the
time when plenty of fish are
landed from the ocean piers.
Warren Jennette, owner-oper-
ator of Jennette's Fishing Pier
here at Mays Head who reported
spotty fishing, stated that pa
tronage from anglers had been
up to normal for late June and
that speckled trout, bluefish,
perch, a few founder and some
sea mullet had been taken dur
ing the past week.

GULF STREAM FISHES
TAKEN OFF MACS HEAD

Gulf Stream fishing, Tor dol
phin and amberjack, has been
unusually good. during recent
days. Dolphin have been espe-
cially plentiful, and this year
the catches Of these coloreful
and fast fishes taken by anglers
operating from fishing CEN
tiers in the Mays Head region,
have been much larger than
usual. Some taken with rod and
reel topped 80 younds and one
speciman scaled at 34k pounds.
Amberjack fishing has been
good on the days when the winds
were favorable offshore. 1t is diff
ficult to lie over the wrecks
where these fishes are usually
vi lght when the wind is blow
4 offshore and the water is
= jppy. A few jack weighing up
y 35 pounds have been landed
by anglers from the Mays Head
region during the past few days,
but mostly this species is run
ming smaller than in previous
years. With the dolphin, how
ever, it is a different story and
the fish are running larger than
in previous years.
Among the hundreds of ang-
lers fishing the Gulf Stream off
Oregon Inlet during late June, a
group from Washington, D. c.,
including DIR. w. w. Chase, DR..
H. K. Vann, DR.. F. x. Courtney
and DR.. L. Rapee, were topping
the list for the number of big
dolphin and amberjack taken.
George Dykestra of Dykes

end of Mays Head, Manteto high

dolphin had been landed there
by blue water anglers during the

Billfishing in Hatteras waters

PAYS TRIBUTE
TOLOST COLONY
AS 1T OPENS
State Treasurer Edwin Gill
Predicts Long Life
for Drama

Wnen state treasurer Edwin
Gill, representing Governor Will
liam B. Umstead at the opening of
The Lost Colony on Saturday
night, June 26, addressed the aud
fence just before the drama began
its first performance, he made the
following pertinent remarks:
ut is great honor for me,
representing the vernon
of North Carolina, the
Honorable William B. Umstead,
to speak briefly to you on this
occasion. We celebrate here to-
night events of great signifi-
canoe. We will be under the spell
of tender feelings and deep emo
tions that animated human be-
ings on this Island over $50 years
ago.
However, Paul Green, who
wrote this the greatest of all
symphonic dramas, those who
act its parts, the choir that sings,
and the people who come here
from all parts of the nation to
hear and see this thrilling pro-
duction, are concerned not only
with the stored past but with
the future as well.
when this drama was first
produced in 1887, there were
some who thought that it was
magnificent, that it was a thrill
ing accomplishment, but that it
would probably never be pro-
duced again. How wrong they
were! For The Lost Colony has
lasted longer than any other out
door production. This is its four
teenth season, its 653rd perform
ance. It has thrilled and en-
tranced total audience of more
than 100000 souls.
81 think this great drama has
survived for many reasons-the
genius of the man who wrote it,
the loyalty and the faith of the
good people of Roanoke Island
who have given their support
and enthusiasm, the skill and the
art of those who have assisted in
its production, the passionate
beauty of the music that is sung,
and the fact that its production
is rooted uniquely and irrevo-
cably in the sacred soil of this
island-all of these have helped
it to live. But above all, this SYM
phonic drama has survived and
will continue to live because of
its great theme-because it car
for the future; for here in the
ries in its story a fair promise
lines that are spoken, the songs
that are sung, and in this historic
ground, we find the seeds of
democracy-the hope for a free
world.
There is a character in this
show known as Old Tom who
suggests this great promise of
which l speak. He was of no ac-
count in England. He was not
needed by his Queen, but as a
part of Sir Walter Raleigh's
immortal company, he becomes
man of destiny, a man of great
consequence.
$50 in the person of this comic,
pathetic, and yet noble character
created by the artistry of Paul
Green, the common people of
this country are symbolized.
Like Old Tom, every man, wo-
man and child in America is i'm
portant. AS you will see tonight,
the spirit of Roanoke made
man of old Tom
'This same spirit has made us
a great nation.
$50 l predict that The Lost
Colony will go on to be enjoyed
and to be an inspiration to gen.
erations yet unborn-as long as
the spirit of democracy lives and
dominates this land.
