cheese as the Roanoke Island Gun

'sBrant." The Clubhouse was locat-

BIGGER JAMBOREE
PLANNED APRIL II
HATTERAS VILLAGE
Meeting Held Saturday Night at
Hotel. Elects William Gibson
Chairman To Arrange
The Event

An even larger celebration than
the one at Cape Hatteras last year
was planned Saturday night to
take place at Hatteras village, on
April 9th. A meeting of some II
members of the committee, all
from Hatteras township, met at
the Atlantic View Hotel. George
Fuller, who was chairman in
1856, nominated William (Scotty)
Gibson to head off the Committee
this season, and Bill Burrus was
named Secretary, and Carlos Oden,
Treasurer.
The giant fish fry will be held
on the open grounds near the no.
tel. Events of the day will in
clude a beach pony race, jalopy
race, perhaps boat race, a dance
at night and the browning of a
beauty queen for the Outer Banks.
Contestants for this honor will be
selected from the seven commu-
mites of Hatteras Island and
Ocracoke Island. The Ocracoke
mounted Boy Scout troop will be
asked to participate as last year.
Yacht owners from Eastern
North Carolina will be invited to
come to Hatteras for the occasion.
1t was the sentiment of the
meeting that the celebration be
held at Hatteras this year, in order
that visitors might travel the en-
tire length of Hatteras Island and
see all points of interest on it.
Some 10 persons attended the
meeting. Wallace R. Gray made an
inspiring talk about the tourist
business and the future of the is
land. Present at the meeting were:
Bill Burrus, Clam Stowe, Carlos
Peele, Carlos Oden, Ulysses Peele,
George Fuller, Edgar Hooper,
Boyd Gray, Scotty Gibson, Ernal
Foster, Lloyd Styron, Wheeler Bal
lance, Wallace Gray and Victor
Meekins of Manteo.

Mays Head, Feb. 9.-St. An
drews by the Sea, Protestant
Episcopal Church here on Mays
Head will sponsor its annual Shrove
Tuesday Pancake supper on the
evening of Valentines Day, Feb
ruary ID. The supper, in obser-
vance of a Religious holiday will
be held in the dining rooms of
The Carolinian Hotel.
The ancient custom of having
pancake supper under the spon-
sorship. of the Ladies Auxiliary
of this Episcopal church was
started last year, which was the
first year the st. Andrews SUM
mer mission had operated as a
year around parish.
Last year when st. Andrews
Auxiliary presented its first Pam
cake Supper on Shrove Tuesdayssa
large number of persons, many
not COMMITMENTS of the church,
were guests. That supper was held
at The Arlington Hotel. The Aux
iliary realized a fair profit for
church activities from their sup
per, as a nominal charge was
made. An even larger attendance
is expected for the event this year
and the Rev. A. C. d, Noe, rector
of st. Acknowledgements stated
today that everyone was invited.

CITIZENS OF DUCK
SEEK COUNTY AID
FOR BOAT HARBOR
Commissioners Assure Support To
Delegation tuesday: Estimates
to Be Made.

A delegation of citizens from
the Duck community of Dare Coun-
ty appeared before the Dare Com
missioners Tuesday and asked that

the fishermen of the community
In this delegation were the follow
ing people: S. B. and Elmo Whit

borough, M. ]. Evans, Sam Tate,
Lloyd Toler, Lemuel Hines and
Manuel Santos.
The delegation was told to go
and get estimates of the cost of
the harbor, and return with the
information as soon as convenient.
The County Board agreed to ac-
cept a 500 payment on the claim
against w. K. Leary for Bingo
license last year, the balance of
the $500 to be paid later. The
Board made several refunds OF
taxes, and ordered that the budget
for the current year be increased
by the amount of sales from per-
sonal property of certain schools
in the county which brought the
following amounts: Roanoke color
ed $500; Avon, Buxton and Hat
teras $1S7.
The board took note of num-
Der of small bills totaling $194.94
that have come in from the mos
quito control project last year and
ordered they be paid. Endorsement
was given the project promoted
by the Wanchese Ruritan Club
which will ask the state to engage
in an oyster planting program for
Dare County.
Regret was expressed at the
illness of Commissioner w. H.
Lewark of Kill Devil Hills, and
hope expressed for his early re-
covery. He was the only member
of the board not in attendance.
