THESE TWO POPULAR La
DIES will retire on, January l af-
ter more than 25 years of serving
the public of the Dare Coastal
Area as managers of the Manteo
telephone exchange. Misses Belle
Midget and Ozella Payne have
done good job during the years
the company has grown locally
from four phones established in
the town of Manteo back in 1929,
and when one of these ladies was
night operator and had her cot
beside the switchboard, then about
two feet wide, but now grown to
thirty feet with hundreds of
phones. The office began business
in the home of these two ladies',
but now has it's own building on
Road Street.
Miss Payne and Miss Midget
were experienced business women
before they took the job of build
ing up the phone exchange in
Manteo. This week, they have
joined with all the operators of
the system in a series of two din
ners and receptions held by the
company in Elizabeth City. These
parties are an annual feature for

BALMY AUTUMN
IN DARE FROSTED
OVER HEAVILY
Sharp w e a Their Monday
Dims Memory of Shirt
Sleeve Weather

When old King Winter takes E
notion to blow his breath our way
he does it in a businesslike man
ner, as witness Mondays SHARP
spell which brought a bowling
northeaster along the Dare Coast
and made folks forget the long
balmy fall filled continuously with
shirt days, and when duel
hunters complained that the
weather was so good the ducks
wouldn't move in on US.
But along with Mondays blast
came downpour of rain, maybe
an inch of it, and then it froze anc
for awhile sleet fell, and ther
some snow. But the earth was wet
and the snow didn't stick.
BY Tuesday morning the ground
had gotten crusty, the force of the
blast diminishing as one went
southwark toward Hatteras. When
the mercury dropped to 81 in
Manteo, Hatteras reoprted Al de-
grees, that area being warmed by
vapors from the Gulf Stream, only
so miles away.
In Currituck County there was
an appreciate amount of snow,
and in Norfolk the snow was
heavy and caused a lot of incon-
venience. Duck and goose hunting
improved everywhere, and many
hunters braved the weather all
day Monday, so long had they
been waiting for some good shoot
ing.
In his report on the sharp
change in weather, Aycock Brown
had this to say in his column:
Before the day passed the low
er Hatteras region was expert
encing snow flurries and many
young people were seeing snow
fall for the first time there. The
snow did not stick.
GAS matter of fact the snow
did not stick on Roanoke Island
or anywhere along the Outer
Banks and there was no ice on the
highways. In contrast, however,
northbound traffic encountered icy
conditions and snow, just north of
Kitty Hawk on the Currituck
mainland.
''In the Manteo region ice form
ed over pools on Tuesday morn
ing, but the freeze" did not dam
age the citrus crop at Cape Hat
teras where residents have been
gathering oranges, grapefruit,
tangerines and lemons from trees
in their yards for the past several
weeks.
"The blizzard-like weather in
upper Dare County on Monday re-
suited in the best wildfowl season
reported so far this season. Hun
dreds of hunters in Dare County
had field day and many return
ed with bag limits of duck. Many
geese were also killed during the
