Ground Force Requirements
In answer to a question, an
Army spokesman said that the

that the missiles range would be

The directive, first basic state
ment of the Army's position in
the missile field, said the ground
forces requirements included:
'Long-range missiles capable
of supporting deep penetrationS

widely dispersed rear areas; ano
of delivering accurate fire or
distant targets which are capable
Of effecting the execution of the

In a nuclear war, the Taylor
regulation asserted, the ground

INVESTMENT OF Sc, OOOFOR 24OO
ACRES OF BODIE ISLAND LAND.

Three Man Commission Awards Attorney w. A.
Worth Of Elizabeth City Nearly Half Million
For Valuable Property at Oregon Inlet; Owner
Had Asked More Than A Million.

The Bodie Island tract of land
estimated at 2,400 acre for which
w. A. Worth, Elizabeth City At
torney was asking the Government
to pay about one and a half mil
lion dollars, is estimated to be
worth $484,O00 according to an ap-
praisal set by a three-man Com
mission which heard exhaustive
testimony last summer.
The Government took it in 1853
along with other lands in the area
as part of the Cape Hatteras Ma
tional Seashore. The owner got it
about ten years ago for a mere
$4,000 following the settlement of
the estate, of the late David Lind
quist of New York, who had pre-
viously donated a tract to Dare
County, and for which property,
the county received total of
nearly $55, 900. 1t now has nearly
$4,000 left. which county officials
are trying to spend on jails and
courthouse conversions.
The land is bounded on three
sides, by waters of the ocean,
Pamlico Sound and Oregon Inlet.
It contained the Bodie Island Club
house and ponds, and later Mr..
Worth established a fishing center
at the Inlet.
The approval price represents
about 5000 per acre. The Govern
ment, under the law has 30 days
in which to file exceptions to the
findings of the commission.
The Federal government filed
condemnation proceedings against
Mr.. Worth in the early Summer of
1862. A. year later, the government
filed declaration of taking pro-
ceedings against the owner and
deposited $185, 900 in the First and
Citizens National Bank Of Eliza
beth City in Worth's name as q
flair price" for the land.
The owner decided to take the
matter into the court rather
than accept the price offered.
Federal Judge Don Gillian, of
Tarboro, judge Of the Eastern Dis
trict of North Carolina, later
granted motion on the part of
the owner for the appointment of
a commission to decided the value
of the property.
On the commission were ]. Q.

followed the show, opened the per-
Torrance with a short talk about

dance was arranged by w. w.

The fame of the Old Christmas
observance at Rodanthe has spread
until it ranks second only in fame
for Dare with the Wright Bros
event at Kill Devil Hills. The in
terest of outsiders who come to
share in the festivities has brought
extra work to the small commu-
nifty of Rodanthe and it has been
necessary to make small charge
which pays for the stage program

So the visitor gets a ticket to
three separate and enjoyable occa-
sions. =
Mr.. Edwards, Mrs. Herbert
Capt. Midget and others who have
been most active in this celebra-
ton, think in future years the
celebration will be held on OLD
Christmas again, January 9th, as
happened this year. For many
years the eve of Old Christmas
has been the occasion Of the cele-
bration, but due to widespread in.
terest in the country, and with .
view to accommodating as many
persons as possible, it is believed
the sixth will be better date.
However, since the 9th of Jan.
uary in 1857 will fall on Satur'
day, it is likely that Old Christmas
mas observance win be held OF
Saturday night.

gratitude for the help given il
making the event Friday night 81
successful, and gives special thank
to Twifords of Manteo for tn
loan of chairs to fill the auditor

Old Christmas came and went at
Rodanthe and it was greater sue
cess than ever before. The folks
of the neighborhood put on big
show and it pleased packed house.
They also put on a dance and
oyster roast for their visitors. In
spite of the storm and high tide,
which came on Thursday, there
was no lessening of interest when
a sudden announcement went out
that the celebration was being
postponed until Friday night.
The women of this small commu-
nifty, aided by several men won
much praise for their good job in
putting on so splendid show on
such short notice. Coming in from

observe the show and to take part
with tunes on his flute, and a per-

INDEMNITY FOR
STORM DAMAGE
IN BONNER BILL
First District Representative Seeks
Law Providing Adequate
Protection Against Dis
asfer.

Congressman Herbert C. Bonner
D.-N.Co stated today that he in
tends to introduce a bill, now being
prepared, which would provide for
indemnity to the home owner and
small business men for damage
caused by floods, tidal waves and
similar risks of loss caused by
other damage of a nature not now
insurable from commercial sources.
The Congressman stated that his
bill would propose a method of
relief considerably different from
that included in any bill heretofore
introduced. The plan under the
Bonner bill would include the fol-
lowink salient features:
/. The Governernment would
establish a Flood Indemnity Fund
with an initial authorization of SOC
million dollars.
2. Administration of the Fund
would be vested in the Small
Business Administration.
8. The limit of relief to any
single individual or corporation
would be set at $4,000.
A. Certificates of Indemnity, as
distinguished from Insurance poll
cies, would represent the commit.
ment of the Government in the
event of flood disaster.
5. Private insurance companies
and local insurance agents would
provide the service facilities of the
Government in the issuance and ad-
ministration of the indemnity certi-
ficates and settlements of claims
to be performed at a nominal fee
approximately commensurate with
out-of-pocket expenses.
6. The proposal would expire by
limitation at the end of 10 years
in order to establish the feasibility
or lack of feasibility of the plar
provided by the bill.
