Highway Department to Procure
Additional Landing Graft For
Summer Duty

Early conferences have been
scheduled in Washington to obtain
additional landing craft from the
Navy Department for conversion

ner. A. C. Stratton, who was in
Manteo this week with E. M. Lyle,
Assistant Regional Director of
the NPS said that it is hoped one
or more of these craft may be OBJ
tanned for this purpose.
The boats now in service at Ore
gon Inlet are the Governor Um-
stead, the Lindsay Warren and the
Conrad Wirth. Two of them were
put into service in 1853.
While in the area, the park Off
Gals looked over the projected de-
velopments at Bodie Island and
Cape Hatteras. The use area at
Bodie Island is now in process of

Morton returned to his old job
at the New York Journal Ameri-
can after the war, his byline be-
coming, as it still is, a standard
feature in the newspaper. AS a
Journal American Executive, he
has directed such special projects
as an overseas airlift of 100000

veterans in Korea, fund raising
for a chapel for veterans of all
faiths at a Veterans Administra-

He and Mrs. Morton were en-
route to vacation in Florida in
the late spring of 1913 when they
stopped overnight at the newly
opened Carolinian Hotel at Mays
Head. He recalled that Mrs. Lu-
ellie Purser and the hotel staff,
as well as other residents of the
community, made them feel so
much "at home" that they stayed
six weeks.
Forget Florida
Florida was put out of their
thoughts-and in 1851 they
bought some ocean front property
for a cottage which was completed
in August 1853. The cottage,
named "The Screaming Eagle" in

New York.-Second only to
Texans, North Carolinians living
in New York talk more about their
home state than anyone. But Lone
Star Staters, Tar Heels and every
one else must take a back seat to
a fellow named Jim Morton.
Morton is a native Pennsylvan-
ian who has lived most of his SO
years in New York. But on the
basis of his part time residence at
Mays Head, N. c., some 25 or 80
week ends year, he has become
enc of North Cardinals most vocal
boosters in New York City.
What makes this all the better
for his adopted state, Morton is
in a key position on the influen-
tial New York Journal American.
If he has occasion-and he often
does-to decide on giving the nod
to picture or story from, say,
Idaho, or North Carolina, the
Western state hasn't a chance. For
that matter, neither would any
other state.
"I've been in all 48 states and
IL foreign countries" said Nor
ton. North Carolina has them all
beat"
Flies to N. c.
He and his wife, the former
Love Brice of Staunton, Va, have
beach cottage at Mays Head. He
flies his Bellanca Cruisair there
every week end, holiday and vaca-
ton possible. Since the Mortons
discovered" the Outer Banks of
North Carolina in 1913, they have
become such constant residents of
Mays Head that other less fire.
quent visitors regard them as part
of the year-round citizenry.
Morton first became acquainted
with North Carolina when he was
a student at The Citadel in Char
lesion, S. C. AS captain of the
track team, he often ran at meets
at Davidson, Duke and the Uni
versity of North Carolina. But be-
ing an exceptionally fast runner
his state two-mile record has
never been equalled-he got only
fleeting glimpses of the country
side.
A few years after his gradua-
ton in 1888 he was getting verti-
cal views of North Carolina as a
paratrooper, making about 20
practice jumps at Camp MacKall,
Fort Bragg and Hamlet. He liked
the state even from that vantage
point.
Has Decorations
He went overseas with the 101st
Airborne Division, broke a leg in
a practice jump in England, won
a battlefield promotion to captain
in Europe, and was hospitalized
two years by shrapnel wounds re-
ceived at Bastogne. He was deco
rated four times and also received
