Now that tourists do not have

Dare and Cur,ituck are looking for

Each year, there is a rapidly in
creasing volume of people who pre-

are many good reasons for this
choice, outside of accessibility and
good roads heretofore mentioned.
The fine autumn weather is u.s.
ually invigorating, and cool enough
for comfortable and refreshing
sleep every night. Travel is at,

SCHOOL OFFICIALS
REFUSE TO UPSET
DARE'S RULING
Kitty Hawks Effort to Block Con-
soEdafion Unsuccessful in
Raleigh Again

The State Board of Education
refused to intervene in a school
consolidation controversy in Dare
County last week on grounds it
would violate the principal of the
& 1856 School Assignment Act.
The act gives to local boards
Of education the power Of pupil
assignment and was the 1866 Gen.
eral Assembly's answer to the
school segregation crisis.
The board took action after
hearing a delegation from Dare
protest the consolidation of Kitty
Hawk School with Manteo High
School on Roanoke Island.
To overrule the Dare Board Of
Education would be to do "the
very thing that the General AS
= sembly has attempted to avoid in
its recent legislation" board mem
Der O. L. Richardson of Monroe
said.
He made the motion to post
pone the matter indefinitely on
grounds the board was without
jurisdiction" The Kitty Hawk
school, which the delegation had
hoped could remain open until q
new plant is built at Manteo

Dare Attorney Wallace H. Nc
Gown presented the Kitty Hawk
delegations arguments. The Dare
Education Board ordered the mer-
ger OF Kitty Hawk schools So

McCown said his groups plea
was made on grounds of made
quate facilities at the Mantec
school. He said Kitty Hawk PEG.
pie feel the students would be bet
ter off in their own three-room
three-teacher school at Kitty
Hawk than they would in five
rooms at Manteo with about 16C
other high school students.
He said Kitty Hawk would not
object to consolidation when a
plant now in the planning stage
is completed on Roanoke Island
,McCown also said Kitty Hawk stu
dents will have to ride buses as
far as "a miles to the Manteo
facilities. He said there was some
question among school bus drivers
about whether they could make
their schedules in the Shuttle
bus" operation planned as trans
portation for the students.
After hearing McCown, the
board told the delegation it would
take the matter into considera-
tor. 1t put the finishing touches
on the 1956-195S budget, then re-
turned to the Dare matter and
decided against overriding the
Dare education board.
Members of the Kitty Hawk
delegation, in addition to McCown
were Mrs. Tom Briggs, Kitty
Hawks Representative nominee on
the Board of Education; Robert
Young, mayor protein of Kitty
Hawk; and Jack Twiford, Bob
Best and Adolphus Hines, school
committee members.

COAST GUARD TELEPHONES
GREAT HELP ON OCRACOKE

The U. S. Coast Guard, Fifth
District, has done a very COM
mendable act in establishing four
telephones on their Ocracoke Is
land line, so that motor travellers
in distress can contact the local
Ocracoke unit for assistance. These
four phones, according to recent
announcement by Benjamin L.
O'Neal, commanding officer Of the
Ocracoke Station, are located at
the first bridge north of Ocracoke
Village, at the corral Familiarity
known as the "cowpen", at Sty-
ron's Hill, and at the end of the
Island near where the Hatteras
Inlet ferry lands. Until the new
paved road is completed down
Ocracoke Island there is always
the possibility of cars getting
stuck in the deep sand, especially
at incoming tide, but with these
telephones available to the public,
the Coast Guard can be quickly
called to help. The phone at the
"cowpen" had been only installed
two days when two Ocracoke resi-
dents of the fair sex found it ex-
tremely useful when their jeep
stuck in deep sand on the beach
ridge. Walking from the beach
about three-fourths of a mile to
the little red phone box on the
telephone pole, they quickly got
through a distress message and
were pulled out by the Coast
Guard truck in time to continue
their trip northward to Hatteras
Inlet before time for the noon
ferry to arrive. Ocracoke Civic
Club will include in its tourist pub
licity this information about the
service rendered by the Coast
Guard in this respect.

means only such consideration as
is merited.
The brief did have some mighty
good suggestions in it, we might
say in the majority they were con-
structive, but it did contain about
four recommendations calculated to
bring blood to eyes Of most of US
coastlanders. However, those of us
who are older and more thoughtful
and seasoned, don't pay much at
tention to stranger who comes
up and tells US how to build the
boat we are working on. We may
just laugh him off, or pay him no
mind at all, but usually we do take
notice if he tells us he or some
other guy is anxious to buy our
boat at twice what it is worth.
Because the brief made many
references to state and local activ-
tiles, Mr.. Wirth forwarded same
with courteous note to Governor
Hodges, as was due and proper.
Mr.. Wirth in no wise endorsed or
approved the project, but sent it to
the Governor for his observation.

less the Governor wore his usual
beautific smile, and perhaps fumed
inwardly at being distracted dur

had he taken time to read it, he
might have filed carefully in his

But the Governor is too polite

The Dare County Commissioners
voted Tuesday to donate $3.50 to
the cause of clearing out the right

from Manns Harbor, FIVE miles
long, TO serve the six families To-
Gated at Mashoes Greek. John w.
Midget Of Mashoes, who has been
leading the fight for power line
to Mashoes, appeared before the
county board.
Beside its routine business, the
board gave consideration to a re-
quest for continued maintenance Of
the old dirt road to Duck on the
North Banks, as some citizens
feared It might be abandoned in
favor Of the newer hard-surface
road.
