Hoad is Australian champion

him in the Australian tourna-

The match between the two

HOad's Power Effective
The match went about as ex-
pected. The big, blond Hoad
used his more powerful service
and ground strokes and his
quickness at the net to good ad-
vantage. Rosewall, with less
power, had to rely on court-cov-
ering and retrieving.
Hoad, trailing 1-3 and "a

strong service and unreturnable

At it's meeting this week, the
Mays Head Chamber of Commerce
heard delegation from Currituck
County asking endorsement of
Currituck's efforts to get high
way built from Duck in Dare to
Corolla in Currituck County. Will

appeared before the Chamber,
which promised to back up Curri-

Wallace McCown was heard on
plans for the Pirate Jamboree, and
Melvin Daniels on plans for a
celebration of the Croatan Sound
bridge which is expected to be fin
ished early in 1857. A member of
the Dare County shrine club sug-

SEGREGATION
AS SEEN BY A
NEGRO EDITOR

Davis Lee, Negro publisher of
the Newark IN. j. Telegram had
the following to say regarding
racial segregation:
"The efforts being made by GER
tain paid agitators and pressure
groups against segregated schools
in the South may cause Southern
Negroes to lose a lot more than
they will gain.
"The trouble with this group, as
with similar ones, is that the ini-
tiators don't count the overall cost
to the race. The present effort is
designed to destroy the whole
pattern of segregation, and to
establish an integrated social order
in which there will be no distinc-
ton made in this country on the
basis of race, religion, color or
nationality.
"This is a laudable objective,
but human nature just has not
changed that much, and the a.
chievement of such an objective
could cause repercussions that
might set the Negro back fifty
years.
Indignation in the schools in
the North and East is not a howl
ing success. A Negro can attend
most of the schools up here and
get an education, but few of the
states that educate him will hire
him as a teacher. The State of
Connecticut doesn't have twenty
five Negro teachers :.
Nowhere in these migrated
states do Negroes get anywhere
near proportionate representation.
Every device is employed to keep
qualified Negroes from being as
signed. Recently reputable New
York labor union made a report
on the employment of Negro
teachers in New York City and
charged that systematic scheme
has been adopted to exclude
Negroes as teachers.
"This is not true, in the South.
The State of Georgia employs
1918 Negro teachers, and paid
them close to $15,000,000 in
salaries last year. North Carolina
paid it's Negro teachers over $22,-
-0fa,0O0 last year. Florida is an
other State that ranks at top on
teacher pay.
mississippi paid $7,414,278 in
salaries to 6,753 Negro teachers
in the State last year,
"If these states, that are now
pouring millions of dollars annual
ly into Negro pockets which pro-
vides our people with money that
enables them to enjoy the dignity
of man, to enjoy the prestige and
responsibility, to buy homes and

SHAD SEASON NOW,
ON IN DARE, SOME
. FAVORABLE SIGNS
Good Fishing In Some Spots;
Prices Fair. and Early Len+en
Season Offers Promise

Bad weather this year has made
the season little late for fisher
men, but now most all of them
have their nets in throughout Dare
County, and some good catches are
3 being reported. One of the big
catches of rockfish made last week
by Basil Daniels and crew of Wan
cheese is reported to have sold for
about $1,000, while another good
catch of the large stripers was
made Tuesday of this week. These
fish were caught in the Oregon In
let area, and some of them weigh
ed as much 65 pounds each.
Herring are reported running
early and one fisherman at Wan
cheese is reported to have caught
$50 boxes one day recently. This
means about 200 to the box. Her
rings have been selling for about
two cents a pound. A number of
Kitty Hawk fishermen in the
Currituck> Sound area have been
making some good herring catches.
{ Largest catch of 1shad has been
reported from Wanchese, where
one crew got ITO in a day. Shad
are selling locally at 40 to Al cents
a pound for roes, and 20 for bucks.
Higher prices prevail when shipped
to Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York markets.
Fishing is picking up on the
west side of Croatan and Pamlico
Sounds, and highest catch of shad
reported up to Wednesday was SO
by a Manns Harbor fisherman.
Good demand is expected to pre-
vail on all varieties of fish, due to
the early Lenten season which
came in on the 18th.

VALENTINE SEASON
HUNT AT MACS HEAD
BEGAN THURSDAY
Spectators From Many Quarters.
Ride To Hounds in Jeeps
and Cadillacs
By AYCOCK BROWN

Americas most unusual fox
hunt got underway at Mays Head
Thursday morning to the sound o
hunters horns-and auto horns
It's the eighth of Valentine sea-
son classic originated by Mrs. Lu
ellie S. Purser and John Ray Wat
kins which put horses in the back
ground-and mechanical equip
ment in the foreground.
Mrs. Purser's idea for fox hunt
each February as an off-season
attraction for Mays Head back in
1949 began when the Dare Coast
was still a Summer resort" only,
instead of the year around vaca-
ton spot that it is today, To make
the event a success in what is
practically a horseless country, it
was necessary to make some
changes. Seven years ago there
were fewer paved roads in the
area than today and the sure way
of going everywhere or travelling
all trails was a 4-wheel drive jeep.
So jeeps were used to follow
the hounds and since roadless
dunes and maritime forest lands
could not stop the jeeps the first
hunts became widely publicized as
events where the hunters rode to
the hounds on jeeps. Modern high
ways land a network Of paved
roads have changed the picture OF
transportation-today there may
be more Fords or even Cadillacs
hauling spectators than jeeps, but
the hunting is still just as good
as in the old days and the music
of the hounds can still be the big
attraction for the fox hunters.
Another reason the hunts have
been successful is John Ray Wat.
kins, Oxford tobacconist anC
sportsman, the master of the
hounds. Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins and
Mr.. and Mrs. Chandler Watkins
have had important roles in max.
ing the hunts successful through
the years. They are here this week
and with them their fox chasing
! hounds, one of the finest packs
that ever chased mox across the
dunes, through the marshes, or the
moss-covered oak and pine forests
of the Mays Head and Colington
Woods.
The hunt lasting through Sat
urday begins each day at $3.50
with hunt breakfast at the Caro-
linian. Seven o'clock is the time the
hunts begin and they are usually
over in time for 1890 lunches.
The afternoons and evenings are
not lost, and additional attractions
are presented. On Thursday after
noon at 2:45 there was a jeep race
and on Friday at 2:45 o'clock there
will be a craftsmanship contest
using muzzle loading rifles. There
will be prizes for these afternoon
classics.
On Thursday evening after din.
ner there will be special movies in
the Carolinian's Pine Room; or
Friday evening there will be
square dancing in the Pine Room
with a horn blowing contest dur
ing intermission. On Saturday
evening the big finale at the Caro-.
linian will be the Hunt Ball fea-
turing a talent show and other
colorful events.
The hunts are not private. Ev.
eryone is invited, and even if some
of the area has been hunted heav.
lily recently, the Watkins hounds
are sure to get some foxes.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE SEEKS
COURT ORDER TO STOP DARE
COUNTY'S SCHOOL PROGRAM
Hearing Set for tuesday. February 2s+h at Ten
AM. Before Judge Burgwyn in Elizabeth City
Result of Action Brought by Kitty Hawk Com
mi++ee

A hearing in which the school
committee of the Kitty Hawk Dis
trict will seek to block the action
of the Dare County Board of Edu-
cation in pursuing it's plans for a
consolidated High School at Man
teo, and an elementary school at
Kitty Hawk, will be held on Tues
day, February 28th at ten am. in
Elizabeth City.
The hearing will be held before
Judge w. H. S. Burgwyn on a
temporary restraining order sign
ed this week by Judge Henry A.
Grady, in which the Dare County
Board of Education and the
Superintendent of schools are in
structed not to appear, as had been
planned before the Review panel
of the State Board of Education
in Raleigh on Feb. 18th.
McCown and McCown of Manteo
represent the plaintiffs in this
action, which is signed by Adolf
plus Hines, Chairman of the
Kitty Hawk Committee, the plain
tiffs being Mr.. Hines, and the fol-
lowing other members, Mrs. Susie
Briggs, Robert A. Young, Oscar
Sanderlin and Jackson S. Twiford.
The action grew out of the fail
ure of the Dare Board of Educa-
ton to second a motion made by
the Atlantic Township member, Ell
wood Parker last week, that a
High School be built at Kitty
Hawk. The Board ruled that an
elementary school be built at Kitty
Hawk, and a High School at Man
teo.
In their petition to the court, the
Committee sets forth that they are
duly constituted members of the
committee, that they are citizens,
electors and taxpayers of the Dis
trict. That for many months they
had been appearing before this
Board of Education asking for a
school adequate to their needs, but
the Board had refrained from tax
ing affirmative action on the
grounds that the county had nc
funds. That the plaintiffs institut-
ed proceedings asking for a bond
election on property in Atlantic
and part of Mays Head townships,
for a 100000 bond issue to be
financed by a tax of 90 cents OF
the 500 of valuation, in a petition
signed by some 400 of the SOC
voters in the district. That they
had repeatedly asked the board to
instruct them in the selection OF
suitable site for the proposed
school and to have plans drawn
for the same.
They contend that the action OF
the Board in voting for an ele-
mentary school at Kitty Hawk was
unlawful. They contend that the
action of the Board of Education
in setting up a school building
program Zone contrary to the pro-
gram desired by the Kitty Hawk
Committee) was unlawful and an
abuse of discretionary power or
the part of said board by its own
action before an election is held
They say it is unlawful for the
