for those high schol pupils who
preferred to attend Manteo school.
This weeks action does permit
them to ride, if they make their
own way to the boundary line of

the Kitty Hawk partisans consider
this skinny and stingy deal, with
no logical reason for not sending
the bus a mile or two farthur up
the road to pick up these students.

The Board of Education voted
to replace Robert A. Young as a

RETURN FROM GERMANY
TO LIVE IN BUXTON
Sgt. and Mrs. Hugh Williams Choose
Outer Banks As Home After
Years in Stuttgart

Sgt. and Mrs. Hugh Williams
and three children have recently
come to Buxton to make their
home, after living for the last
three years in Germany, where
Sgt. Williams was stationed with
the army. He will be reassigned,
but Mrs. Williams and the children
will remain at Buxton, which was
Mr.. Williams home, and her choice
of place to live, although she is
a native of Maryland. They are
glad to be back in the United
States, but liked living in Ger
many.
In Stuttgart, Germany, where
they were stationed, they found
the country very beautiful,
mountainous and cool. There the
summers were so cool that it was
impossible to dispense with sweat
ers, and while the German people
thought it warm, the Williams
family didn't event consider it real
summer weather. In winter it was
very cold.
The children attended Army
schools, run by the U. S. govern
ment for the American children,
but they learned to speak German
as we'll as English. The parents
also learned to speak German,
which made it much easier to get
along.
In Germany, according to Mrs.
Williams, the schools have an ex-
tremely high standard of scholar
ship and the high school graduate
learns much more than the. high
school graduate in this country.
The boys and girls begin working,
even while in school, at the age
of Is, and each person wears
clothing associated with certain
job, so that by observing a per-
sons clothing it is easy to tell
what sort of wrok he or she is
engaged in.
Many of the people are farmers
on well laid-out, efficiently run
farms, but they do not live, as in
this country, on the farms. The
farmers build their homes in small
communities and go out to the
country each day to operate the
farms.

in resembling that part of their
resolution made in October, prior
to the report made by the school
survey panel. The Board of Edu-
cation at that time had approved
high school for Kitty Hawk, to
be built in part with bond money
if an election should carry. But
afterwards the state survey panel
had recommended against the
enormous expense of building a
high school where at present there
are only 46 high school pupils. The
panels report said there is no like
lihood of any large increase soon
in the school population of the dis
trict, particularly as there is no
probable industry to attract year
round residents. It pointed also to
the fact that average high school
attendance at Kitty Hawk had
shown gain of only seven pupils
in six years, and that in all grades
the increase had been only ten a
year over a six-year period.
On the back of this report, the
Board of Education rescinded its
previous recommendations, and
now endorses only an elementary
school. The Committee from Kitty
Hawk were very indignant at this
action and also because of the re-
moval Of a part of Mays Head
township on petition of the resi-
dents, from the tax area set up
for the benefit of the proposed
Kitty Hawk bond election.
1t is expected that further legal
action will be brought by the
committee in pursuance of it's pro-
gram to provide a high school
somewhere in this area. If this
fails, they hope for favorable ac-
ton from a future Board of Edu-
cation.
Removal of the "No Mans
Land" section will strip the Kitty
Hawk District of about $4,000, 900
of property valuation or about one
fourth of the amount in the bound
aries of the district heretofore
embraced.
Without the 100000 valuation
in the "No, Mans Land" area
there still remains total of
$8,265,348 of assessed property, in
Guiding the $9S,O83 valuation on
Colington Island, which was an
nexed by Kitty Hawk from Mays
Head Township about eight years
ago.
While the more than two miles
between the Jigsaw Road and
Cats Meow has come to be called
"No Mans Land" this name may
be a misnomer. Kitty Hawk folks
want it for the school enrolment
it offers. They opposed the citi-
gems sending their children

DARE TAX
Continued from Page One)

It was voted by all the people of
North Carolina.
Dare County has been sharing
in such generous treatment for a
long time, in fact ever since the
state began equalizing its school
funds and distributing them on the
basis of need. Dare has therefore
shared so generously in this state
money for the benefit of it's chill
dren on the plea which classified
it as "pauper county" Since the
word pauper is not considered an
unpleasant word, and is going out
of style, a term less repugnant
to sensitive ears may be used. But
as the old term disappears so our
State officials may consider that
the conditions which gave rise to
it have declined. In fact we may
expect some diminishing of the
percentages of state money /doled
out to us, and even now there are
indications that we are going to
receive less consideration on this
score in Raleigh. Some of them
have indicated that they believe
Dare has not been doing its part.
There is tendency in some circles
to look upon Dare as a free-loader.
To help Dare pay it's annual
costs for schools, Raleigh is send
ing down over 100000 this year
to apply on an annual budget. of
100000. Dare County appropriat-
ed for school operation only
$4,000 for the current year. Of
course additional sums were set
up to buy school sites at Kitty
Hawk and Manteo on which it is
contemplated buildings will be
erected, out of the remaining
$4,000, or so of bond money due
the county for building purposes.
Dare County's biggest payroll
in fact about the only one of any
notable size is the salaries of the
county's teachers which total $14,-
545 per month, or $131, 900 for the
nine-months term. In addition to
the teachers salaries, the cost of
administration of the schools,
which included cost of the county
superintendent office amounting
to $9,872 is paid from, Raleigh.
State funds pay the larger part
of transportation of pupils, fuel
for the buildings and other ex-
penses, of which there are many.
For instance electricity, the bill for
which in a single school, Cape
Hatteras, was $189 last month.
The enrolment in the various
schools of Dare County this term
in all grades, totals 1,198 and is
