The story goes that one idea
was to buy UP all the land

back to the farmers so the
hunt could do away with

MIDDLEBURG There were
two candidates out in Chicago
last week who have ties in
Northern Virginia, having
nothing to do with civil rights,
the farm problem or foreign
policy. The connection comes
through the inevitable horse
which, out here, is more in
style than the donkey or ele-
plant, being a consistent ami
NAL whose popularity is always
on top.
Avere1l Harriman's father,
Edward H. Hartman, was the
financial power behind a group
of fox hunters who organized
the first Orange County Hunt
at The Plains. After Hartman.
DR.. j. o. Green, Frank Gray
Griswold and John r. Town
send started the original
Orange County Hunt in Co
shen, N. Y, in 1900. Edward
and his cohorts decided that
they would canvass the South
for a place to prolong their
hunting when the Northern
winter bore down on them,
their horses and their hounds.
At that time, William Skim
ker was hunting his own pri-
vate pack around The Plains,
and r. Hunter Dulany was
hunting the pack started by
his father, Richard Dulany, in
1910, in the Piedmont terri
tory, with no sharp dividing
lines between the two sports

FEBRUARY ATTENDANCE AT
DARE NPS UNITS GIVEN

. Manufacturing February a
total of 1926 persons aboard
zoos automobiles, entered the
Wright Brothers National Monu-
ment area at Kill Devil Hills ac-
cording to Omega G. East, acting
superintendent of the NPS unit.
Of the total number however, only
1888 persons signed the registra-
tion book in the monument which
indicated that many persons visit
ing area did not climb Kill Devil
Hills. In February 1855 only 2,436
persons entered the area.

shore officials reported that TO-
375 persons in 1888 autos visited
this Dare Coast NPS unit during

a 43.3 decrease from January 1856.
Weather conditions were blamed
for the drop in visitation at the

MANTEO'S FIREMEN
AND WIVES GUESTS
OF FEARINGS FRI.
M. K. and w. B. Fearing Hosts
To Thirteen Members and
Nine Wives March 2

A fine spirit of cooperation,
good will and friendliness for
worthy community work was man
ifested Friday night by M. X. and
w. B. Fearing who gave their sec
ond annual appreciation dinner"
to IS members of the local fire
department and nine wives, who
enjoyed turkey dinner at Fear
ing's Cafe.
The example shown by the Fear
2ings in recognizing the, work of the
firemen, who freely contribute
their time and labor to the fire
company, is one that might be fol-
lowed with great benefit by other
individuals and organizations.
1t is not often that appreciation
is shown for good work done, and
an example of this kind without
doubt gives inspiration and en-
enlargement to people engaged in
worthy, although unpaid and often
thankless tasks to benefit their
community. The Fearings too de-
serve praise.
So this dinner was given in ap-
probation for the fire fighting and
life-saving service rendered by the
group. Speaking for the entire
group Donnie Thyme thanked the
hosts for their generosity.
Chief Raymond Wescott had on
display the combination inhalator,
aspirator, and resuscitator. He ex-
planned the use of the equipment
for heart victims, drowning, smoke
suffocation, gas poisoning, electric
shock, and other accidents when
persons might need oxygen. In
demonstrating he called attention
to the difference in parts to be
used for children and those for
adults. During the demonstration,
Cafe Manager Believe Twiford re-
marked that the quick work in
getting the inhalator to him when
suffering a heart attack recently
thus saved his life.
Invited guests were Balfour

LICENSING OF BOAT PILOTS
SOUGHT FOR SAFETY

Rep. Herbert C. Bonner of
Washington, N. c., has proposed
that operators of motorboats along
the coastal and inland waters of
North Carolina be required to have
operators permits.
The North Carolina congress
man made this proposal in let
ter to Governor Hodges, in which
he referred to the ''many tragic
accidents" that have occurred as
result of unlimited number of
boats using highpowered motors,
generating fast speeds, being used
around our summer resorts and at
other places where children and
others are bathing"
Bonner, chairman of the House
Merchant Marine and Fisheries
Committee, said in bill recently
before his committee dealing with
inspection and certification of
vessels carrying passengers, "the
question of what states are doing
about this came up"
"This matter" Bonner wrote the
governor, ito some extent, is be-
yond the scope of the Coast
Guard to supervise and regulate,
but there is just as much reason
why one should have a permit or
license to operate a power boat
on the inland waters of North
Carolina as there is that one
should be- required to have q IL
cense to drive an automobile on
the highways"

CHARLOTTE MAN OUT
FOR GOVERNOR OF
N. c. ON RACE ISSUE

Tom Sawyer, former State
Senator, defeated two years ago
for Congress has come out for
Governor, opposing Governor Hod-
ges, on the race issue. He is a
radio station employee and former
ly lived in Durham. He says there
is only one issue in this campaign,
"and that is whether our public
schools shall become integrated or
remain segregated. To say that
one should be forced to attend an
migrated school against ones
choice is but to let the bars down,
and once let down, all the forces
on earth cannot put them back
up again."
He calls the supreme court de-
cision zone of attempted tyrrany
and Intervention of States right.
He says Governor Hodges has
taken very lukewarm stand.
