CHICAMACOMICO CELEBRAT'N
POSTPONED z WEEKS ACCOUNT
OF WEEKS HURRICANE SCARE
Same Program To be Followed. Friday. Saturday
: and Sunday. August 10Th 18th and 28+h Two
Weeks Allowed to Avoid Conflict With Other
Events Scheduled in Dare County.

The celebration scheduled for
three days this week at Rodanthe,
honoring the veterans of the Life
Saving Service and the Coast
Gaurd, for which all plans had
been completed, has been postpon-
ed for two weeks, Chairman w. w.
Edwards announced Thursday
morning. The celebration will now
be held on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, August 26, 81 and %.
Mr.. Edwards said he anticipated
unsettled weather, resulting from
this weeks hurricane might deter
many people from attending this
week end. Two weeks are given
to permit of plans for the occasion,
and an earlier date would have
conflicted with events scheduled
at Roanoke Island on August Is
and 10.
Mr.. Edwards believes the origi-
nal program will be followed in
its entirety, provided none Of the
principal speakers have other en-
gagements, in which event, substi-
tutes will be obtained.
Plans are going ahead for the
event, and large boxing ring and
speakers stand is under construc-
ton.
The high seas which will roll in
for several days after the hurri-
cane wguld have interfered with
some of the drills. These seas will
be down in two weeks, it is hoped,
and everything should be more
favorable for an enjoyable day.
Persons having interest in the
celebration should communicate
with W. w. Edwards, P. o. Box

BROWN CORRECTING
FALSE REPORTS m
HURRICANE HYSTERIA
Tourist Bureau Manager Calls
Score On Many Ridiculous
Reports That Have
Been Circulated

Aycoek Brown, on Thursday
morning sent from Manteo to news
agencies, a wire correcting some
of the transformation that has
gone abroad, and to offset what
some are describing state of hurri-
cane hysteria created as result of
tremendous and elaborate coverage
press and radio is giving Connie.
First.-Wright Memorial Bridge
on U. S. Highway 1853, entrance
from Currituck County to Dare
beaches, Roanoke Island and Outer
Banks is not closed and common
sense would indicate that this
bridge, which is connecting link
with Outer Banks and mainland
will not be closed.

sorts of Mays Head, Kill Devil
Hills, Kitty Hawk and Southern
Shores in less than AZ hours
changed from bustling vacation
region with population of up to
$4,000 persons to ghostlike region
with population of only about
1000 persons. Ninety eight per-
cent of summer cottages boarded
up and closed, but several hotels
still have many guests and this
goes for few of motels.
Third-Tides have been above
normal, but they have not covered
road in Mays Head region as yet.
They have covered road in some of
low lying sections of Hatteras Is
land. Seas still running high.

HURRICANE CONNIE
BRINGING DISMAY
ALONG THE COAST
Summer Residents Move Out As
Dismal Broadcasts Continue
To Urge Haste.

The radio wailing about Connie
the hurricane has completely
drowned out the sound of any
cash registers along the Dare
coast. 1t has been glorious week
all week for the radio commenta-
tors, who most of the time have
nothing to say, but this week, with
a hurricane lolling around in the
South Atlantic, they have had a
field day. They don't have to think,
at all, but just turn to another re-
port. And how they have chewed
those reports over and over, and
then they ad lib in between some
thing like this:
Reckon you folks out there
must get tired of hearing US saying
the same thing so much. Doesn't
seem like there is much else to
talk about. Yes, l guess most any
body gets tired of anything too
much. How about you boys here in
the station. You reckon they get
tired of hearing about ere
thing so much. Well, we'll
now have another weather re-
port, but just a word from our
sponsor"
Uplanders living on the coast
began to be frightened away early
in the week as the slow moving
hurricane continued it's lazy move
ment enthusiastically up from the
Caribbean. By Thursday morning,
the Dare County coast had seen
little and heard little of the storm,
other than the radio wailings and
the inanities of the commentators.
The sea had been higher than US
ual, so that at high tide combers
rolled over the beaches, and in
some places had crossed the road
on Hatteras Island. But it is to be
expected the water would cross the
road, since it was built lower than
high tide levels, ditch having
been dug out in which to build the
road. The result, for some miles, at
a spot north of Hatteras, north of
Buxton, and on each side of Avon
ction, there was water as much
our inches deep on the road.
.ost folks realized that the
.orm could become mighty serious,
and wisely took no chances. In
couple of days nearly all the cot
tagers and hotel guests had either
gone back home, or were taking
temporary refuge in motor courts
on Roanoke Island, Elizabeth City
and other nearby towns, hoping
the storm would blow over shortly
and enable them to finish their
vacations.
Connie came at a most unfortu-
nate time, it being the peak of the
season, when all hotels and courts
on the coast were full, staggering
under all the business to be handled
with overworked staffs. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 a day was be-
ing spent on the Dare Coast until
Connie closed the pocketbooks.

GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS
NOT LONG AGO, ]. Antonio Jarvis, well <

o LONG AGO, Antonio Jarvis, well known writer
and educator, wrote q. / think that the first thing a govern
ment official should do is to get advice from gentlemen who
run newspapers. After all a newspaperman is to the commun-
iy what a trained nurse is to a nervous patient. Naturally,
we fully agree With MI. Jarvis, who is principal of one of the
largest elementary school in the Islands, and at one time
was himself an editor.
THIS THOUGH comes at a time when the local ad-
ministration is completing its first year in office, and natrr-
ally thoughts turn to what this first year has offered, and the
type of relations developed with groups and individuals. One
newspaper fatty claimed that the Governor has failed. More
generous and moderate, The AVIS gave credit to the admin
istration for having gone through the year with some credit,
yet pointed out that opportunity was missed to do a more sig
niicant job.
N AREA IN which the Alexander administration was
disappointing to us is in its relations with the press. With
a full year Of perspective and from this distance it is safe
to say that many of the Governors headaches could have
been Iessened or even removed had his relations with the
press been more cordial, and had there been a tendency to
realize that often the pulse Of the community is felt through
the press.
AS "A RESULT Of all this, one paper already limited that
it is time 70 rthe Governor to pack up and leave. While this
is but one paper, nevertheless, no official, with but one year
in office could possibly be satisfied to know that his years
efforts are met with such rebuff and rejection. Further, while
the majority of the people may not think IN these exact terms,
vet where attention continues to be called to gaping holes in
tbe nrooram of an administration the time will certainly come
when the matter may not be brushed aside with indifference.
PERHAPS AS important as balancing a budget or writ
ing a program is the type of good, sound relations existing
between the administration and the people, and the extent
to which a Governor of the Virgin Islands may be effective
in putting through his ideals of a sound program may depend
upon the relationship he maintains with the people.
