BY AYCOCK BROWN

Utilizing the wealth of retired
military service personnel in this
area, a program for the establish
ment of an independent Civil De-
Tense communications center has
been launched here in Manteo by
the establishment of a radio school
for the purpose of qualifying now
ice radio operators for a general
operators license.
"This will enable them to oper-
ate and maintain a CONELRAD
station for the State or National
Civil Defense Network" said Rob-
ert X. Gum, director of, the coun-
TVS civil defense program, who is
assisted by Fred Trew. Goodrich
Williams, retired Coast Guard
radioman who lives in Manteo's
"Kinnakeet community" has volun-
teered his services as instructor
and II members have been enrolled
in the first classes which are now
being held at the home of Good
rich where he already has a radio
setup.
Gum, whose regular employ
ment is that of district sanitarian
for the health departments of this
and adjoining counties, stated that
later classes will be open to men
and women and younger persons
of responsible age. Some Of the
class members here are also
members of the Boy Scouts.

up is the first phase in the Dare
County Civil Defense program 9TH

SCARBOROUGH FAMILY
TO LIVE IN GREECE
Missenf Passport Causes Unseheduled
Trip to New York by Man+ee
Women So Her Sister Can Sail

Mi. and Mrs. Phil Scarborough
and seVen-months old son, Fields
Lee, sailed Wednesday morning
from New York City for Rhoades,
Greece, where they will live for
two yeas while Mr.. Scarborough
is stationed there with the U. S.
two years while Mr.. Scarborough
and son met Mr.. Scarborough in
New York this week after having
been taken to Richmond, Va, by
Mrs. Scarborough's mother, Mrs.
Cora Mae Basnight, and her broth
er-in-Iaw and sister, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wayland Fry.
On arriving back in Manteo
Monday night Mrs. Fry discovered
that her sisters passport, which
was to have been sent to New York
for her to pick up there, had arriv-
ed instead in Manteo. Early Thurs
day morning Mrs. Fry left for
Norfolk, from which point she
flew to New York with the pass
port, leaving at 1886 am. and ar
irving back in Norfolk at, II pm.
She brought back a report of the
greatest crowds she had ever seen
in New York, where she has visited
on a number of occasions. Being
election day, it seemed that the en-
tire populace was out. The streets
were crowded and the stores were
jammed. The baby, unaccustomed
to crowds, had wonderful time
pulling the hair of passersby and
snatching for neckpieces before his
mother and aunt could stop him.
The crowds were so dense the baby
couldn't be kept out of reach of
the things that interested him, but,
according to his aunt, everyone in
volved took it good-naturedly and
laughed back at the baby.
Mrs. Scarborough is the former
Sally Afford of Manteo. Mr.. Scar
borough was formerly from Wan
cheese.

DESPITE BLUEBIRD
WEATHER, HUNTERS
FIND MANY DUCKS
Much Fine Sport Reported All
Around on Dare County
Coast Wednesday

The opening day of the Wildfowl
season brought usual bluebird
weather to the Dare County coast,
despite which some duck hunting
was reported from various Sec
tions. In the Rodanthe area, Capt.
Levene Midget came ashore with
his limit of ducks, which took most
of the day, SO far away were they
flying.
L. E. Parker, Portsmouth, Va.
furniture dealer, who spent the
night at Mirlo Beach Lodge, Ro-
danthe, accompanied by Charles R,
Lively, went hunting with Bill
Meekins, and went back to Ports
mouth at lunch time with two
ducks.
Bad luck came to Fulton Wild
bee and Arvin Midget of Manteo,
when duck hunting was so good
north of Oregon Inlet, they got
above their limit and were prompt
ly picked up by a Federal warden,
and like many another during a
season, they will have to pay be-
fore a U. S. Commissioner next
week.
From Kitty Hawk and Caffeys
Inlet came reports of shooting
which was considered good for the
kind of weather which prevailed.
The wind being light, few geese
were flying, although the rest
areas are full of them. There are
an estimated $4,000 geese strutting
around the Pea Island Wildlife
Refuge at Rodanthe, and the
greatest number of ducks noted
there in recent years.
Several .Manteo high school
youths who like their hunting bag
ged their limits of duck before
school took in on Wednesday morn
ing. Another good kill of ducks and
coots Tor blue peters as they are
locally calIed) was made by 81
year old Alpheus Drinkwater OF
Manteo, his son-in-law, John
Booth, 4 Navy chief warrant Off
Ger stationed in Norfolk and |. H.
Tadlock of Norfolk and Virginia
Beach.
The duck population this season
SENS up to par or better as COM
pared to previous years but there
seems to be fewer geese in some
localities however w. G. Cahoon,
refuge manager at Lake Malta
muskeet estimated that more than
10000 Canadas had arrived in that
famous Hyde County shooting area
by last week end.

KITTY HAWK MIGHT
LOSE SOME $4,000
IN SCHOOL FUNDS

A movement has been started
on the behalf of other districts in
Dare County seeking the re-alloca-
ton of some $4,000 in school
funds heretofore set aside to APP
ply on construction of an elemen-
tary school at Kitty Hawk, accord
ing to reports reaching this news
paper.
The movement is said to be bas-
ed on the desire of citizens in the
Kitty Hawk district to remove
from Dare and be part of Curr;-
tuck County, and it is commended,
if, as, and when this happens,
Kitty Hawk District will not be
entitled to funds from Dare Coun-
TVS share, and this money should
revert to children who remain in
Dare County's school system.
Citizens Of Kitty Hawk district
are now arranging to hold spec
ial election, on January 5 next,
with a new registration of voters
for the purpose of voting a $780,
900 bond issue 10 build a $270,000
building at Kitty Hawk. Previous
ly, after a spirited fight for cor
struction of high school, they
had started a movement to with
draw from Dare County. This week
they appealed to the Curr'tuck
Board of Commissioners for as
sistance in making this transfer.
1t is reported that there is very
little favor in Currisuck County,
toward this move, inasmuch as
Atlantic Township withdrew from
Currituck and became a part of
Dare about 35 years ago.
The big fight that is expected
to loom in case this movement is
continued, is the objec. IN that

SEEKING MORE FUNDS TO
REPAIR SAND FENCES

L. L. Swain, member of the Dare
County Board of Commissioners
and in charge of current sand fix
alton work between Kitty Hawk
and Hatteras, says efforts will be
made to get additional funds i'm
mediately for maintenance and re-
pairs to some of the areas where
recent storms have caused the
ocean to break through the alb
briers. A similar proposal brought
to the State Highway Commission
this week in Winston-Salem
brought on action.
The project under SWANS SUI
pervision has involved the expend-
iture of approximately $50, 900 in
building up sand ridges backed up
with paneled brush fences designed
to stop moving sands and build up
dunes. The money was made avail
able through the Civil Defense Adj
ministration in cooperation with
Dare County.
In addition to the county's prof.
ect, the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore Recreational Area re-
Gently announced that it would
spend approximately 100000 on
similar sand fixation work along
its 20 miles of beaches extending
from lower Mays Head to Ocracoke
Inlet.
High water during the past 90
days from northeast winds have
caused a situation which has been
very damaging. In many places
the beach has built up two feet or
more because of the protection af-
forded by the recently constructed
sand barriers. However, the dune
system in many places suffered se-
we're damage" Swain stated here
Monday.
Hatteras Island has experienced
considerable damage because the
National Park Service had been
unable to build its barriers to date.
Swain stated that the Civil De-
Tense Administration has suggest
ed that the damage resulting from
recent storms be surveyed imme-
diately toward making application
for funds to effect repairs. And
this was being done early this
week on the coast Of Dare.
