DEERING
Continued from Page One)

"Ghost Ship" Deering was moved
by stormy seas from Ocracoke to
a new berth on the sands of Hat
teras. This attracted world wide
attention and no doubt that next
summer thousands of tourists who
have read about it will come here
to see it where the seas cast it
up. However someone has seen fit
to plumber the wreck and remove
most of it to be used for adver-
Using at business place on the
highway. There will be many dis
appointed tourist next season and
so if we continue to deface our
beaches, destroy our natural land
marks, 'deplete our game and fish
and substitute commerce for the
natural beauty and quaintness of
the things God has given us, then
we will also get rid of our tourists.
They will shun us like the Devil
shuns Holy Water and the sand
will drift back on the parking
areas and wild grass will grow in
front of service stations. Maybe
that is what some folks want
Isolation ;again-But isolation of
that kind won't buy groceries nor
automobiles or educate our chill
dren. Let US preserve our tourist
attractions and the natural beauty

they recognized that storms are

Idea behind the discussion was
to acquaint new members of the
board with the work of the Tourist
Bureau in order that they may in
turn pass the information on. to
their respective neighbors or others
who are contacted for investments
in the program. "The tourist dol
lar benefits every person in Dare"
said McCown, "a fact we have to
get across"
A budget of $14;650 was adopted
for the current year, which is about
the same figure in the budget for
the past year. This figure may be
increased, it was pointed out.
A number of proposed special
events for the current year was
discussed, the largest being the
Pirates Jamboree planned as a
vacation season launcher, for its
second year, next Spring.
Fourteen directors and officers
were present for the meeting.

IMANTEO POSTOFFICE
APPLICANTS DOWN
TO THREE APPROVED
Acting Postmaster Ray Jones. and
Swain Brothers Head List of
Seven Candidates.

Out of a list of seven Manteo
people who took examination for
the office Of Postmaster of Manteo
some months ago, the list is now
narrowed down to three according
to a recent report from the Civil
Service Commission.
The three top members of the
seven are Ray w. Jones, who is
the only Republican in the lot. and
the brothers Swain: Lawrence,
County Commissioner and laundry
operator, of Manteo, and Ralph,
groceryman and life insurance
statesmen. Ralph Swain is the one
ex-service man of the three, a fac
tor which usually counts for extra
points in examinations of this
kind.
Some dissension has arisen over
the fact that Earl Green of Man
teo, who is also an ex-service man,
didn't get on the preferred list,
although passing the written tests.
So some of his friend are seeking
a review of the circumstances of
his not being certified.
Three others took the examina-
ZION as follows: Mrs. Ray Jones,
Rem Shannon, one of tie postoffice
clerks, and Erwin White, Jr.
In filling office of postmaster,
it has heretofore been the custom
to certify three names to the Con-
gresham, and usually the Con-
gresham has recommended one of
the three, provided he being a
member of the party at the head
of the administration. However, the
Congress is not now Republican
and most anything might happen.
Mr.. Jones, acting postmaster who
succeeded Charles Evans on his re-
tirCment last year, is a regular
Republican and has received en-
dorsement of his local party organ
ration. But there are many slips
between the cup and the lip, and
it could happen that one of the
other two, particularly the one
with the advantage of veterans
service could get the place.

also presented information regard
ing transportation distances, coun-
ty tax collections, and existing
facility conditions. After this dis
cussion, the members of the sur
vey committee carefully inspected
the existing plant and several
sites for a proposed new school
plant.
Transportation
From the viewpoint of local
people, transportation poses one of
the major problems in the high
school consolidation program pro-
posed by the Dare County Board
of Education. Upon check of
mileage in the area involved, the
committee is of the opinion that
major transportation problems
could be solved fairly satisfactor-
lily by routing one bus from the
northern end of the county direct
ly by way of Kitty Hawk School to
the proposed high school at Man
teo.' Other areas in the district
could easily be served by one or
more shuttle buses. If a bus start
ed at the Coast Guard Station at
Caffey's Inlet and travelled directly
by way of the present Kitty Hawk
School to Manteo, the distance
travelled would be approximately
1874 miles. Relatively few children,
of course, would be required to
travel this total distance.
We have discussed this transpor-
tation problem with the Division
of Transportation, State Board of
Education, and when a final deci-
sion is made regarding the loca-
ton of schools in the area, they
will be glad to work with local
officials to determine the best and
most efficient routing of school
