Skins travelled to Moyock for a

quarter. They found the range in
the fourth quarter however, and
went ON to win by points. Final
score was Manteo 36, Moyock 20.
Mabel Jean Basnight and Helen
Baum were high point leaders with
IL points each.
The Moyock boys scored only

portant part in the development of
Eastern North Carolina, and Tyr
rell County.
Mrs. R. S. knight Jr. made the
report for the nominating commit
tee: H. S. Swain, President; Mrs.
Blanche w. Cohoon, Secretary;
and Phil L. Spruill, Treasurer.

ed unanimously.

ton was elected vice-president, and

ton were appointed to appear be-
fore the County Commissioners on

Courts office for protection of the
associations valuable papers.

Commission he said had adopted a
wait-and-see attitude before decid-
ing whether to crack down on vio-
lators. Carriers who refused to
comply with the order face fines
up to $4,000 for each offense.
1t was pointed out that one of
the complications of the order was
that it applied only to interstate
passengers. That brought on such
a situation as at Charlotte, N. c.,
where the old signs have been re-
placed by new ones reading, "Col-

company officials have rejected all
three proposals. On courtesy, they
claim that racial complaints are
normal and that all over the nation
with local transit service such com.
plants come.
They answer that under Mont
gomery and Alabama law seating
cannot be permitted on first-come
first-served basis without breaking
the law. Hiring Negro bus driv-
ers, city and company officials say,
would collide with custom.
Meantime the Central Alabama
(White) Citizens Council headed by
Macon County Senator Sam M.
Englehard Jr., of Shorter, Ala, has
conducted an advertising campaign
urging that the buses be patronized
more, and suggesting that the bus
franchise might not be renewed
unless there was more bus patron
age.
Protest leaders have made no
statement whether they favor MAX
ing a legal challenge of the vail
dity of local and state imposed bus
segregation laws. Meantime the
leadership is in the hands of min
listers who speak in terms of "pro-
test, love, and faith in God" They
tell their followers eve can carry
on this struggle for IL months if
we stick together"
One of the MIA leaders said that
it was obvious that the opposition
was trying to wear them down and
was waiting to see how long the
protesting segment could carry on
the non-ride, non-violence, non-co-
operation struggle.
