PLANT TUESDAY NIGHT
Two Young Negro Men in Dare County
Jail Following Confession

Two young Negro men of Man
teo, Paul Davenport and Joe
White, Jr., are in the Dare County
Jail, following a robbery at the
plant of the Dare County Ice and
Storage Co. Tuesday night. The
cash register was removed from
the office of the plant, taken be-
hind the old light plant nearby and
partially demolished. There was
between five and seven dollars in
change in the machine, and it was
taken and has not been recovered.
The theft was discovered about
11:20 PM, when the night man
on duty went to the office from
another part Of the plant. Police
man Dan Cannady was notified,
and as the ice plant is not within
the legal limits of the Town of
Manteo, deputy sheriff Donovan
Thyme was also called in. They
checked the situation and follow
ed a lead which led them to the
two men, who confessed the theft.

NEAR TRAGEDY
AT KILL DEVIL
HILLS ON MONDAY

Quick action saved three vaca-
tionists from drowning in the surf
at Kill Devil Hills Monday. Three
swimmers in deep water off Ava
Ion Beach, got in trouble, lost
consciousness and were washed
ashore.
R. E. Parker Jr., who operates
the Bel-Air Motor Court nearby,
caught E. l.. Dunn, a Suffolk, Va,
policeman, as he washed ashore
and administered artificial respira-
ton. He then worked on J. M.
Boyette, an express company en-
ployee in Suffolk, until the Coast
Guard came and used newer meth
DDS of artificial respiration.
The Navy Shore Patrol brought
oxygen, and rescue squad from
the Manteo Fire Department
brought pulmotor with the result
that Boyette also was revived.
Mrs. Boyette did not swallow as
much water as the men and did
not have to be revived. All three
were taken to the Harvey Clinic
in Manteo, where they wer treat
ed and kept several hours.
Dunn's wife said she was on the
beach playing with some children
while the two men and Mrs. Boy
cite were swimming. When she
first realized that something was
wrong, all three appeared to be
in deep water and having trouble.

PLAN INFORMATION
BOOTH NEXT YEAR
FOR HATTERAS Id.
Business Interests May Provide
New Tourist Courtesy
North of Inlet

In order to give all tourists in
the coastal area complete informa-
ton about Hatteras Island and its
facilities, including up to the min
ute news, and reservation service
for motor courts and hotels, pub
lie information booth north of
Oregon Inlet, may be set up and
staffed during the 1861 season,
which for Hatteras Island, because
of its mild climates, continues
through the greater part of the
year.
While now only in its planning
stage, the project has the endors-
ment of sufficient business men
to insure it's likelihood.
This venture is considered nee
essary by several business men,
who say the Island is losing tens
of thousands of dollars in business
a month, because some tourists do
not come prepared to stay long
because of the false impression
there are insufficient facilities.
Some come under the impression
there is not sufficient drinking wa
ter nor adequate eating and sleep
ing places.
GAS matter of fact" one bust
ness man says, we have a dozen
motor courts and several hotels,
service stations of the latest type,
many up to date tourist homes,
several excellent restaurants, etc.
"Many of our visitors come
down here to be disappointed at
having not had prior information
of all this, whereby they might
have prepared themselves to stay
for several days insteads of leav-
ing the same day.
"We believe we owe it to our
friends to provide a service north
of the inlet, whereby all people
coming to the Dare County sea-
shore may conveniently find ample
literature, get latest reports on
fishing and weather, and be assist
ed in making reservations of their
choice.
at, would have to be financed
of course, with contributions from
our business men, but these men
would be well repaid in the good
will stimulated among our visitors,
present and prospective, and the
the increased patronage brought to
the various places of business"

Virginia Dare Story
Virginia Dare, the first child of
English parentage in the land that
became America, was the daugh-
ter of Eleanor and Ananias Dare.
Her parents had come to Roanoke
Island as members of the Sir Wal
ter Raleigh expedition of approx
mately $50 persons that had ar
rived here during late July, 1887,
under the leadership of Governor
John White.
Governor White, father of
Eleanor, remained here until Vir-
ginia, his grandchild was born on
August 10, and her subsequent
baptism two days later. Shortly
afterwards Governor White re-
turned to England with the ships
that had brought the colonists to
the New World where they would
attempt to establish permanent
settlement. He was going after
additional supplies.
His departure was the last con-
tact with the little band of men
and women left on Roanoke Is
land. England was at war with
Spain upon his return and it was
not until 1891 that he returned
to Fort Raleigh in, the New World
with relief for the colonists. But
the colonists had disappeared
without trace, except for the
word "CROATOAN" carved on a
tree. The "Croatoan" Of that day
was said to be an island located
approximately at the site of

Home of the Week, is a one
story house with living and din
ing areas combined in one room
Ia situation that is frequently
found in today's houses. The
room is at the back Of the house
to afford privacy.
Arrangement Of the living and
dining areas is what puts the
room in the unusual class. Note
on the floor plans that the din
ing area is along the inner wall
midway between the two ends Of
the room.
At first glance, this might
seem a bit awkward. but the
designer feels that such an ar
rangement has definite advan-
tages. He says that it allows
the owner to break UP the long
moderately narrow room into two
parts for purposes of furniture
arrangement.
The one end Of the room may
be decorated for formal enter
tanning. somewhat in the sense
of the old-fashioned drawing
room, while at the other end OF
the room an informal converse
tional grouping Of furniture may
be set up with its focus on the
fireplace.
That. of course, is merely his
suggestion. The imagination Of
the owner may suggest varia.
tions.
Also noted by the designer i.
the fact that many people may
feel the front hall confronts
the dining room too abruptly
But he points out there is ar
easy remedy through use Of
screening.

found marvellous green in the frozen food department
'It is something called colards she said 'You just
ought to get some and try them"
Our friend felt superior she recalled she learned to
eat coards out of her mothers garden when very small
girl.
It could be that the interest of the frozen food people
will give the coards the general popularity they deserve
And there has been change in the distribution of the
vegetable through the stores Once the grower brought
the coard big head the leaves spreading two
three feet in circle Now the leaves firm and tender
ones pucked off and tied in attractive punches for those
not so fortunate as to have back yard gardens.
With these trends for coards they could go places
