NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
BY
REP. JOHN E. HENDERSON
In The Midst OF PLENTY

n AhS iNluSA Uf PLENTY
The House of Representatives
mas passed and sent to the Senate
q Dill which would direct the
government to process surplus
gram into flour and corn meal
Tor needy persons in areas of
severe unemployment. The vote
on the bill was an overwhelming
approval of 343-1.
Five million new iobs for
Americans have been created in
our expanding industries and
thls expansion has been accom-
panied by a sharp rise in the
earnings of factory workers
where the average weekly in
come between 1949 and 1854 in
creased by SIT to $72 a week.
nevertheless, the blessings of
prosperity are not ALWAYS
equally distributed.
Tins bill should be of special
benefit to our distressed coal
mining areas where mine opera
tlons have declined and unem-
ployment is severe problem.
Agricultural Surpluses have been
OF great benefit to needy persons
IN foreign lands and il is un-
thinkable that we should forget
any OF our own people who in
their own way have worked to
create the surpluses we have
given away abroad.
Wheat Bill
Following Senate passage of
similar legislation, the House
Agriculture Committee began
hearings last week on measures
TO permit farmers to raise wheat
without acreage restrictions
when all of the grain is 10 be
consumed on the farm. Among
the bills being considered was
my proposal to amend the pre-
sent law and | welcomed the
opportunity to appear before the
committee to urge its favorable
consideration.
Since | introduced the bill, |
nave received great volume of
mail from the farmers of south
eastern Ohio in support of its
provisions. In these many letters
and personal conversations with
farmers in the 18th District and
elsewhere in Ohio, l am con-
yinced that it is their strong
desire to operate their farms
in such a way that they need
purchase only the seed and grain
feed which they are unable to
raise on their own farms.
j believe the legislation has a
very good chance for approval
and | am urging that the House
act as quickly as possible on
the measure.

SUIT FILED TO
DUST OFFICIALS
KILL DEVIL HILLS

A suit filed in Dare Superior
Court this week is directed to-
ward the town officials of Kill
Devil Hills, whom it seeks to Dust.
The petition is signed by James
C. Tillett, and is directed at Mrs.
Emily Mustian, Mayor; town COM
missioners Elton Twiford, Herbert
Morrison and Robert Young, and
Jimmy Gray, town clerk.
The petition contends that they
are unlawfully holding office; that
the election held in May was a
legal election abolishing the town
charter, and their right to hold
office therein. 1t gives them 80
days to answer the complaint, and
asks the court to declare the Of
fees vacant. 1t appeals from the
opinion of the late Attorney Gen
eral Harry Mcmillan that the
election abolishing the town
charter was not legal one.
The petitioners are represented
by Forrest V. Dunstan and John
H. Hall, attorneys of Elizabeth
City. The case will be heard in
Superior Court, and perhaps not
in Dare County.

1000 VEHICLES IN
THREE DAYS MOVE
TO HATTERAS Id.
Was Biggest Fourth of July Fol-
Mays Head. Hatteras Island
and Roanoke

The greatest concentration of
traffic ever known here came to
the Dare County beaches on the
4th of July week end. Ferries were
damned to capacity, and at Manns
Harbor there were times when the
boats were insufficient to take
care of traffic.
In the three-day week end, 1000
vehicles crossed over to Hatteras
Island, with three ferry boats
running steadily. All available
rooms were filled up on Saturday
night and most of them on Sunday
night.
All rooms were filled at Mays
Head and on Roanoke Island as
well. On Sunday night, 1000 at
tended the Lost Colony, which is
not too good a showing consider
ing the crowds in the area.
Fishing guides and boats were
busy, and just about everyplace
on which fishermen might perch,
had a visitor.
Each year the crowds get big
ger and bigger. Hot weather
bring 'em crowding to the beaches.
The warm weather predicted for
the rest of the summer is expect
ed to make this a record breaking
season.
Travel conditions at Manns Har-
Dor now show that the new Croa-
tan Sound bridge will not be COM
pleted before it is needed. Many
cars had to wait for as long as
three hours to get a boat to Roa-
noke Island Saturday, and in the
meantime several got tired of
waiting, gave up and went back.
The same condition will be re-
peated on a larger scale at Alliga-
tor River, once the Croatan Sound
bridge is open to traffic.

tie the pioneer figures of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams,
Lincoln and many others. And we
should tell and retell the events in
which they participated and the
events of which they were often
the begettors. And we should tell
and retell to our legends and deeds
of our folk heroes likewise-old
Paul Bunyan, the powerful John
Henry, the sweet and beneficient
Johnny Appleseed, and even Br'er
Rabbit himself.
For a nation without heroes is
weak nation. And the nature of
a nations heroes is a measure of
the quality of that nations life.
And as we work to make these
mighty figures of the past live
again in drama, fiction and poetry,
so much more will they live with
their essential truth and glory and
inspiration in the lives of odr chill

can reinterpret and redramatize
them for their children.
This is not dead ancestor wor-

peoples growth and Develop

that development. If we can make
real and manifest and dramatic in
our thinking and in our feeling
and in our doing the lessons and
meanings of our forefathers, of
our foremothers, of our folk
heroes-their personal tribulations
and triumphs-just so much
stronger and more stimulating can
we be for the future.

COMMISSIONERS
TAKE FAVORABLE
STAND FOR BINGO
Dare Board Stands For Aiding
Fight to Retain Games With
out Cash Prizes

By a vote of four to one, the
Dare County Board of Commits
sions Tuesday passed a resolu-
ton favorable to aiding Bingo
operators at Mays Head to con-
tinue operation of the games, but
disapproval of cash prizes. Com
missioner w. H. Lewark of Kill
Devil Hills declined to go along
with the Board in any action in
behalf of the bingo operators.
The Board voted to take up sew
eral matters with the State High
way Commission. First, they want
to be heard with respect to the
location of the proposed second
highway to be built through the
Mays Head area. They wish the
bridge across the Spencer's Greek
gut at Manns Harbor to be kept
at sufficiently high level to per-
NIT fishing boats to pass under
it. They also requested that the
road to be improved at Buxton,
leading to the light plant.
The Board agreed to pay a salary
of 500 per month to Darrell
Daniels, deputy sheriff at Wan
cheese. They also heard represent
atives from Duke University dis
cuss costs of taking care OF the
county's hospital patients, and ex-
pressed thanks for their courtesy
in coming to visit the county.
They also agreed to deed back
to some individuals on Hatteras
Island lands which they had some
years ago. abandoned to the county
for failure to pay their taxes.
The Board plans TO meet later
in the month to fix the tax rate,
and approve the budget for Dare
County.

In these days of political crisis
1T seems good to turn back and
consider those elements and con-
stituencies that make up our demo-
cratic way of life. Thus we NAV
help to clarity our minds some
what and perhaps receive a needed
stimulus and encouragement for
the future.
And don't we need that stimulus
and understanding today?
If l may speak arbitrarily, ]
should say that the purpose of a
nation, of person or thing is to
be the best of it's kind possible
provided it is a good kind. And if
it is an evil kind, then its purpose
is to make itself better and to make
it so Immediately.
What is the purpose of this
America, of this political unity
known as the United States? The
answer is simply this-to be as
good a nation as it can be. What
do ] mean by being good? l mean
that nation only through wisdom,
happiness, enlightenment, justice,
good health and honest achieve
ment can truly promote the well
fare of it citizens and thus further
the general and cooperative well
fare of the world. Only thus can it
fulfill the purpose for which il
was created.
Our forefathers in this land con-
ceived of political form of social
order, which they considered cap
able of producing the best quality
of individual residing in and par
ticipating in that order.
Then<it is good for us as peo-
pie to go back to the characters OF
our past history and put our ear
in tune to their far-off speaking
and thinking. Just as in Greece
her literary workers reinterpreted
their heroes-Ulysses Agamem-
non, Acknowledgements their
gods and goddesses, their legends
and their stories-and with each
Interpretation raised them into
more vivid reality--just so should
we in this nation seek to renter
pref, to dramatize and redrama-

FIERY CROSS IN
FRONT OF OFFICER
BRINGS WARNING
Suspended Sentences for Two 10
Year Old Wanchese Boys
Who Tried to Brighten
Policeman

Two 16-year-old Wanchese boys,
John Williams, and Charles Pugh
Wroten got warning from Judge.
Washington Baum Tuesday in
Dare Recorders court. Deputy
Sheriff Darrell Daniels, who had
just been appointed by Sheriff
Frank Cahoon to serve the com
munity of Wanchese, observed a
fiery cross burning in front of his
house about eight o'clock on
Thursday night. Due diligence
located the young culprits, and he
brought felony charge against
them for attempted arson.
Judge Baum didn't hear any
evidence presented. Attorney KEEL
logg asked that the charge be re-
duced, as there was no sign of
attempted arson, and defense at
torney Wallace Gray, told the
court it was just prank of the
boys. Judge Baum said if they
came in his court again in two
years, they would go on the road
for year.
The two youngsters who have
had no work to do, and no restrain
ing hands upon them, had fallen
into the habit of annoying the
community with their pranks,
some of them not so pleasant, like
damaging school property, etc. It
was largely due to the lads run
ming wild that the Ruritan Club
of Wanchese asked the Commits
sioners to hire an officer for the
community.
The boys didn't like the idea a
bit, and they figured they would
be able to brighten Mr.. Daniels
out of taking the job. But he fool
ed them. The job of Deputy Sheriff
is now pretty good one in Dare
County, paying from 500 to $275
month, and some, instances as
near no work as possible being
done. There are now about six
deputy sheriffs in the county, be-
sides an equal number of other
peace officers, and one would
think the county full of law
breakers and the Jail due to be
full all the time.
Tuesdays Recorders Court was
the longest session in many moons.
Traffic cases prevailed.
Grover Lester Barnett, also
William Howard Lyons and Eu-
gene Spencer King of Norfolk
submitted to charges of public
drunkenness and paid fines of $40
and costs each.
Submissions to speeding: Larry
M. Parker IS mph in a 35-mile
zone, $50 and costs; Calbert M.
Gray of Stumpy Point $40 and
costs. Walter Alick CLANCY of
Hampstead, Fla, 60 miles, $25 and
costs. William Ransom Johnston
of Littleton, 70 miles, $50 and
costs. Joseph Edgar Putnam of
Duck IS miles, $50 and costs.
Rudolph Pendleton, colored, for
driving while drunk $100 and costs.
/ Frank king Dawson for backing
into drive way and failing to
yield right of way resulting in an
accident was taxed with court
costs.
Jerry Belle McClees got so days
on the roads for driving after his
drivers permit had been revoked.
Cary Perry Rice of Wake For
est, for driving too close to an
other car, paid fine of of 81 and
costs.
Nurse Beverly Jan Slater of
Camp Lejuene for speeding at Is
miles paid $50 and costs. Carol
Ashton Davis of Elizabeth City
for driving without lights, SIS and
costs.
Persons convicted of driving at
Is miles per hour and over lose
