Victorious CIV
Shows Need Of
Ball Carriers
BY BOB HANSON

Until George Washington High
gets a couple of backs who can
do some running to go with a
passing attack it may be hard
pressed to keep out in front.
Coolidge will be met next FRI
day night and in Jack Silas, an
All-High selection last year, CIV
will see a passer who can keep
up with its own Mike Agee. I'm
less the Alexandria team comes
up with a runner or two by that
time it could mean trouble.
The Presidents, relying almost
exclusively on a passing game.
defeated a surprisingly strong
Annandale team, 21-0, last night
at Alexandria before 5000 fans.
1t was the seasons opener for
both clubs and for Annandale
the first time as q Group I team
and playing in the Northern Vir-
ginia League.
Two Out With Injuries
Two Of GW's better running
backs, Jerry Alexander and Dick
Carter, we're sidelined with in
juries. Alexander has a swollen
ankle and Carter a bruised in
step. Their return to duty in
time for the Coolidge game is
unlikely.
"We'll have to make a few
changes until we can get Alex
ander and Carter back in shape"
Coach Jim Ford said. Until
then our offense will be slowed
down"
It took an interception and a.
belated aerial attack against a.
game, but outmanned, team for
CIV to salvage a victory. For
nearly three quarters, Annandale
put up aswhale of a defense and
played the Presidents on even
terms. In the words of AMMAN
dale's coach, Larry Winkler,
"Our first string had it but we
didn't have a bench"
Breaks Bring First Score
Breaks for both teams brought
about the first score. midway of
the third period. CIV fumhled
and Herby Robertson recovered
for Annandale on GW's 80. On
the first play from scrimmage,
Quarterback Joe Davies who
played an outstanding game,
threw a pass toward the right
sidelines. Agee, playing safety,
streaked in to grab it and ran
SO yards for a touchdown.
With Annandale playing weak
reserves in the final period, CIV
scored twice. Milton Saffell re-
covered an Annandale tumble
on his own 80 and in seven plays,
all on passes. Agee pitched to
End Jerry File from 10 yards out
for touchdown. The third and
final touchdown came in five
plays, starting from Annandale's
As, with Bob Sisson plunging
over from the two.

REPAIRS URGED BY
GRAND JURY FOR
DARE BUILDINGS
Good Care For County Records

Despite appeals made by local

The brand new Negro school is

ADJOINING OWNERS
SEEK NEW SURVEY
AT HEALTH CENTER

An appeal on the part of sew
eral adjoining property owners, to
the Dare County Board of Com
missioners for IA new survey in
establishing lines of the Cape
Hatteras Health Center, will
come before the Board on Novem-
Der 9Th. Among these property
owners are c. H. Whedbee and his
sister, Mrs. George Gaskins, l.. D.
Midget and Mrs. Martha Barnett,
and some of them claim they will
lose valuable land if a survey
stands, this survey having been
made in 1854 giving an advantage,
they allege, to E. P. White of
Buxton, who is one of the commits
sioners.
The Cape Hatteras Health Cen
ter property was conveyed to the
county by the U. S. Government
some six years ago, to enable the
establishment of public infirm-
airy which has rendered a valuable
service to the people. Now that
land is more valuable, nearby
owners are more particular about
their lines. Some of the adjoining
owners feel that the survey direct
ed by the Commissioners last year
gives Mr.. White, who is now one
of the members of the Board,
decided advantage, being some 1876
feet at the expense of the neigh
bors. 1t looks like still more ex-
pense for the taxpayers to assume,
before a satisfactory survey will
be made.

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
CANTATA PLANNED BY
M ANTEO METHODISTS

The community Christmas Can
tata to be presented December 10,
1855 is to be started on Wednes-
day night, November 2, at 900,
meeting at the Methodist church
in Manteo. This time was set be-
cause it allows those in the vari-
Gus churches to attend their
prayer services and their choir re-
hearsals. The practice for the can
tata is to be limited to one hour
and everyone is invited to come
out and help make this community
affair success. 1t is the first time
that such an effort has been made
in the community and every
church is invited to bring it's choir
and help. The contata will be I'M
der the direction of Mrs. Catherine
Meekins with Mrs. Rennie William
son at the organ. The title of the
cantata is "The Nativity" and it is
musical production which will
last about an hour with the whole
worship program included. The
arranger for the cantata is Eric
Thiman and it contains special
solos for all parts with especial
emphasis on the tenor and soprano.
There is great need for bass voices
along with special need for alto
solo voices. The sopranos and
tenors will want some strong
voices to carry the musical along.
All churches and pastors have
a special invitation to join with
the other churches. Pastors and
leaders are urged to announce this
and to urge their people to assist
in making it a great project for
the community and county, says
the committee.

WILLIAM A. PERRY of Kitty
Hawk is Dare County's oldest man
and a highly beloved citizen,
active and still fishing nets in
Currituck Sound. He thinks
nothing of going out alone in his
boat. In honor of his birthday, his
children gave him a dinner on Sat-
urday preceding the event, which
was Tuesday of this week. In
addition to the several relatives,
the Methodist minister, Rev. w. B.
Gregory attended. He received a
huge basket of groceries and many
useful gifts and cards. He is a
wonderful old man, although his
years are beginning to tell on him.
All friends hope he will reach 100
at least.
Mr.. Perry was born at New
bern's landing in Currituck Octo-
Der 25, 1861. He used to help his

CONCLUDE ANNUAL
WASHINGTON TRIP
Ocracoke Seniors and Juniors
Didn't Wait For Spring This
Season For Trip to
Capita

Seniors and Juniors of Ocracoke
High School are back from. de-
lightful visit in Washington, D. C.
They were accompanied by Mrs.
Theodore Rondthaler of the Ocra-
coke school faculty. For several
years it has been a custom for
seniors and juniors to visit Wash
ington, D. c., but previously the
trips have always been made in
March or April. The group found
Washington far cooler and far less
crowded in mid-October. They
visited the Capitol, the Supreme
Court which was in session, the
Washington Monument, Lee Man
sion and the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier in Arlington, the Museum
of Natural History, the Arts and
Industries Building of the Smith
sonian group, the F.B.I., the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing,
the Aquarium in the Commerce
Building, the Washington Cathe-
dral, the Archives Building, and
for lighter diversion the airport,
the zoo, Cross Creek Park, Hams
Park, and several good movies.
They were delightfully."- entertain
ed by Washington friends who are
Ocracoke enthusiasts. They enjoy
ed Sunday dinner at the airport
with Mrs. Charles Runyon, Nina,
John, and Anne Runyon and visit
ed that evening at the Runyon
home in Georgetown. Mrs. G. H.
Klinck took them to several in
teresting places in her car on
Tuesday and entertained them at
Hot Shoppe Restaurant. They
were entertained at the Picking
Restaurant at an all-Chinese din
ner by Mr.. and Mrs. Ferdinand
Grayson, Mr.. and Mrs. Gray, and
Mr.. and Mrs. John Beal, and chill
dren, all of whom have enjoyed
Ocracoke summer vacations dur
ing the past two years. 1t was de-
lightful to renew friendships, made
at Ocracoke, in Washington. H. w.

works in Washington, gave the
group a delightful S & w dinner
and an evening at the movies with

of the features.

FOR $4,000 90
Commissioners Seek Another EIec-
zion After State Advisory
Commission Gives
Approval

The Dare County Board of
Commissioners has published no.
tice that it will ask the County
Government Advisory Commission
in Raleigh for approval to issue
$4,000 in bonds to add to other
money the county now has to build
Jail at Hatteras and at Manteo.
Unless the citizens of the county
make successful objection to the
commission against this proposal,
the county board will hold another
election. Similar approval was got
ten in July, and an election held,
and the people voted down the
project two to one but some $4,000
of the peoples money was wasted.
So far as can be determined at
this time, the people are still in
the mood not to approve the waste
full courthouse and Jail scheme as
outlined. Many people are in bel
ligerent frame of mind over the
persistence of the board in so
lightly passing over the vote held;
over the waste of money in max
ing plans and holding an election,
when the citizens have expressed
their will.
Most citizens appear to be dis
gusted with the action of the board
in going ahead on this project
when they have already raised
taxes outrageously this year, and
have already had the brass to put
on an extra Jail and courthouse
tax, as may be seen by the tax
notices now being mailed out.
There is some talk of calling
mass meeting with the view of
organizing sufficient number of
taxpayers who will finance court
battle against the waste and ex-
travagance now in vogue in Dare
! County.
Due in part to these high taxes,
and the possibility of putting on
more for the courthouse and jail
in Manteo, many people who have
been interested in acquiring ex-
ira school facilities are beginning
to fear the voters will not approve
those either.
Citizens Of Kitty Hawk are try
ing to get their people to vote
100000 bond issue on their town
ship alone, in order to build high
