SCHOOL COMMITTEE
AT KITTY HAWK
PRESENTS CLAIMS
Many Reasons Cited In Favor Of
New High School Now Be-
ing Sought For This
District

The following letter has been
sent to this newspaper with re-
quest for publication, to set forth
the arguments of the citizens of
the Kitty Hawk School District in
behalf of the campaign for the
new high school in this commu-
nifty:
The decision of the County
Board of Education to construct
a new high school at Manteo is
much more than just another step
in the statewide program of school
consolidation, and because of the
great concern of the residents of
our school district we feel OBJ
ligated to bring the facts to the
attention of the public. They are
listed, in order, as follows:
1. The existing Kitty Hawk
School was constructed in 1924
through special tax levy in the
Kitty Hawk School District.
2. When all the schools in the
State were taken over by the coun-
ties the Kitty Hawk School was
taken over by Dare County, but
the Indebtedness on the school was
not.
3. From the time the county took
over the Kitty Hawk School until
Gov. SCOTS fifty million dollar
statewide bond issue for special
school construction was approved,
Dare County made no major inn

By vote of almost two to one,
some over 600 voters went TO the
16 voting places in Dare County
Saturday, and expressed their dis
approval of the plan to spend
$4,000 on jails at Manteo and

while Hatteras, Rodanthe and
Frisco went against it.
The measures carried in only
two other precincts, namely Manns

majorities against the proposals
were at Wanchese, Hatteras, Duck,
Rodanthe, and Kill Devil Hills. 1t

EDISON MIDGET
RISES IN SERVICE
AT AN EARLY AGE
Young Cape Ha+teras Native Now
In Command Of 83-Foot Patrol
Boat at Ocracoke

Ten years ago, when he was II
or so, Edison Midget was about
as promising a printers apprentice
as ever worked in a print shop and
the Times Printing Company was
looking forward to years and years
mutually profitable experience
with him.
But the call of his blood was. in
him and he left to join the U. S.
Coast Guard, but first for sea-
soning hitch with the Merchant
Marine until the service of his
choice could take him aboard. He
had to be II to get joined up and
right after his 18th birthday he
joined.
Two weeks ago young Midget
took command of the eighty-three
footer based at Oeracoke' and
assigned to the Cape Hatteras
Group of the Coast Guard. -Four
weeks earlier he had been pro-
NOTED to the grade of Chief Bos'n
Mate, one of the youngest men
ever to make the grade in the
service during peace-time.
Chief Midget is the great
grandson of one Of the Legendary
stalwarts of the service, the late
Capt. Benjamin Daley who, with
his entire crew, was the first man
in the Coast Guard to be- awarded
the Gold Lifesaving Medal shortly
the decoration was establish
the Congress. His leadership
rescue of the crew of the
lam Williams off Big Kinna-
keet station in December, 1884, is
one Of the great tales of a great
day of the surfman.
Midget came to Cape Hatteras
Station two years ago as BM1c
and under both CWO Cyrus Gray
and CWO Harold Glynn, group
commanders, proved himself. His
competence as a boatman was
spectacularly proved year ago
when he handled the rescue of the
crew of the Omar Babun just north
of Chicamicomico. He made the
run from Cape Hatteras station to
the scene of the wreck, a distance
of 81 miles, in forty minutes flat

Personnel Man Ousted
The case involved William E.
Ward, 40. who was discharged
effective June 20. 1851 as a per-
sonnet officer in the Marine
Corps Air Station at Cherry
Point. N. c.
The charges against him al
legged lack of professional knowl-
edge and supervisory ability;
poor personnel management and
public relations and acts of mis-
conduct involving failure to
carry out orders; disloyalty to
his superiors and untruthfulness
in official relations.
Proceedings against him were
started under the Lloyd-La Fol-
lette Act which provides that an
employe must be given his
charges and allowed up to two
weeks to answer. Mr.. Ward was
dismissed after a full hearing.
Fights Dismissal
In court action, Mr.. Ward de-
clared his dismissal had violated
the terms of the Performance
Rating Act of 1850. He asserted
that his dismissal for "unsatis-
factory services" was equivalent
to discharge on the ground of an

the major question still unan-
