circumstances are such that your
mother is making a sacrifice to
keep you in school as it is. Maybe
your vacation money goes long
way to helping the family budget.
In that case perhaps you should be
happy that you can do your part
sad but true in your case.
@. I have just met a very nice
boy at the summer camp where 1
am working. My mother has for
hidden me to have dates alone be-
fore am II, and SO far l have
only been permitted to go to dane
ies, house parties and on double
dates to local movies. The boy has
asked me out to square dance Is
miles from where we work. / want
to go but do not know what to do.
A. You should write or telephone
your mother asking her for permis-
sion or arrange to have an older
couple accompany you to the dance
and write your mother that you
are doing that. You would take
quite risk riding Is miles away
in the country with a strange boy.
Tt is only wise to follow your
mothers advice in this case par
ticularly.
O. My boyfriend is away for the
summer with his parents. I have
heard through friends that he has
met a girl and is dating her. Should
I write him a letter breaking off
our steady dating or just ignore
him when he returns.
A. That would be silly. Perhaps
the friends have misinterpreted the
situation. Or perhaps the boy is
lonely and enjoys the company of
the girl, although not so much as
yours. The thing for you to do is
pretend you know nothing of the
situation and make your letters
more interesting than ever before.
Summer ronances are short lived,
anyway. When he comes home he'll
probably forget all about her in q
short time.

As for stream flow the heavier
rains in the northeastern part of
the state are reflected by the
marked improvement in stream
flow at the Little Beaver Creek
gaging station. The Scioto River
gaging station showed low flow
being about one half of normal
for the month, even lower than in
August 1858 and 1854. This is the
fifth consecutive month that the
Scioto has been below normal.
The Division reports that the

Hack was tired of plowing, and

But he also needed to get that

an eager kid, noticed hesitation.
"I come from a farm" he said.

This week saw most of the trees
being cut from the right of way
of the approach to the Croatan
Sound Bridge on the Roanoke Is
land side, and it is said the bridge
and approach will be a direct line

Pearce, Woody Inge and others.
Near the Croatan Sound shore, a
swamp was crossed, and this was
filled with sand pumped from the
bottom of the sound.
Piles for the bridge are now al
most to mid-channel, progress on
the job being rapid. With favorable
conditions prevailing, the bridge
may be completed ahead of SEIZED
ule.
Piles being used now are pre-
cast concrete, more than 80 feet

e BROWNS NEAR
OREGON INLET IN
SMALL BOAT TUES.
Amusement Mostly At Why It
Hasn't Happened Before In
So Many Unsafe Boats

A Portsmouth, Va, man, C. F.
Lassiter fell overheard and was
drowned Tuesday morning near
Oregon Inlet while on a fishing
trip with two companions.
Lassiter, Clarence Woodland of
Portsmouth, and Donald Kenneth
Lopez of Hickory, Va. were fish
ing III miles east of Bodie Island
light in a 14-foot rowboat powered
by an cupboard engine, when
Loper's fishing line became fouled
in the propeller of the cupboard.
The motor was stopped and while
Lopez was trying to free his line,
Lassiter stood up in the boat and
somehow fell over backards into
the water. The investigation by
the Coast Guard revealed that this
happened about 8:15 a. m.
Seeing what had happened,
Woodland jumped over and swan
to Lassiter, who by that time was
20 feet from the boat. When
Woodland attempted to help LASH
ter, Lassiter grabbed his rescuer
and it was quite struggle for
Woodland to free himself. By this
time, Woodland had become pretty
exhausted.
The situation had been seen by
EOmie Tillett, on the party boat
Jerry, Jr., who reached the scene
at this time and pulled Woodland
out of the water. Lassiter was not
seen after this time.
DIR. C. F. Harris was on the
scene and rendered first aid to Mr..
Woodland. The Coast Guard immed-
lately began a search for the body
of Mr.. Lassiter but the body still
had not been located Thursday at
noon, according to w. w. Edwards,
officer in charge of the Oregon In
let Coast Guard Station.

SAYS OFFICERS DID THEIR
PART TO CATCH ASSAlLANT

Regarding an article last week,
having to do with an attempted at
tack by a midnight prowler on a
young lady at Buxton, Zane Gray
of that community writes to say
that this paper had been misin-
formed about several features of
the case, and particularly in that
part which apparently indicates
that failure to catch the guilty
party might have been due to lack
of diligence on the part of officers.
Mr.. Gray says everything was
done that could be done, and no
effort was spared. We do not wish
to discredit anyone, and we know
the Deputy, Mr.. Basnett is high
ly regarded and hard working
man, as well as Sheriff Cahoon.
Information came to us by word
of mouth from several sources,
which indicated that some citizens
thought more effort should have
been made. We are glad to make
this correction for Mr.. Gray.

NEWEST TOWN ON
HATTERAS ISLAND
JIGSBOROUGH
By BEN DIXON MacNEILL

Jigsborough, N. c., June 49,
This is the first appearance in
print of this date-line and Jigs-
borough is the eighth village on
Hatteras Island, complete with
public square, flagpole, streets,
water, lights and sewer. And, of
course Mayor.
None of it is what anybody
might call official but the town is
there, and with the last week ends
accretions, it is now the fourth
biggest village on Hatteras Island,
having population of ITO or so,
counting the Mayor. And, of
course, counting Lieut.. H. w.
Wenke, the commanding officer of
the population, which are all Navy
Seabees.
It is not yet listed in the postal
directory, to be sure. 1t just hasn't
had time. Four weeks or so ago
there was nothing where Jigs-
borough is but a lot of beach grass
and such of the Byrum trees as
escaped the fire five years ago.
There were few scattered rab-
bits and mockingbird by the
name of Mr.. Pegler was building
his wife a nest in one of the
bushes.
Mrs. Pegler departed with out
ragged squawks and has not been
seen since. Her husband remained
