Credit Coop Hires Lloyd's

PARIS-(CNS)-UNESCO work
ers here recently hired Lloyd's of
London to get death and disability in
surance through their credit union.
Officials of the credit coop got the
idea from u. S. credit unions and
asked Lloyd's to write a similar poll
cy.
In the U. S., most credit unions
have bought one or two kinds of in
surance for their members through
CUNA Mutual Insurance Society.
One kind pays off loan when a
member dies. The other gives his
beneficiary an amount equal to his
credit union savings, up to $1,000.

Old Days In The Coas+Iand Running Back
For 90 Years Recalled In "reminiscences
And Old Tales Told by Capt. Joel Van SAINT
An Entertaining Narrative by Yacht Captain Well Known
Eastern North Carolina. Recalling His First Visits
to Hyde and Dare Counties
By CAPT JOEL VAN SAINT -
BY CAPT. JOEL VAN SAINT

at Elizabeth City, so about the
first man that l met ashore was
Mister Smell, who managed the
boat yard. 1t was where the Coast
Guard Repair Base is now located,
l had met couple of boys OH
Main Street the day before, Sun
day, and was introduced to one
of them. / do not remember his
name, but he sure throwed a
wicked right hand haymaker. ]
had very muddy sailor suit and
black eye to prove it.
Mister Smell liked to talk and
I loved to listen to him so we got
along fine. He had helped build
the ironclad "Albemarle" down on
the Roanoke and was very proud
of it. He was still "sure certain
that the Albemarle would have
sunk or destroyed the entire Yam
kee fleet if that yankee Cushion
lit. Cushing) hadn't snuk up on
her in the dark and sunk her."
Mostly his stories were of muir
der and arson in the night or of
small sharp clashes of armed men,
of buffaloes and bushwhackers, of
ambush and assassinations, of
blind brutal hate and sometimes of
heaven inspired mercy and devo-
ton. Some of his tales We're hard
to believe but 1 am now of the
opinion that he was very conser-
vative in his telling.
Another man who was a good
spinner of yarns was Charlie
Mann. He had as a. boy lived in
Elizabeth City with his grandpar-
ents during the war, or part of it,
and was making his home at that
time, 1901, in Cambridge, Mary
land. He was about fifty years old
and was mate on a bay bout out of
Oxford, Maryland.
Strong Drink and Weak Wimmen"
They were bound for New Bern
to load lumber but the captain
had tarried too long among the
flesh pots of Poindexter Street
and had spent his charter money
on Strong drink and weak VIM
min." So, they were waiting here
until the captain sobered up
enough to mortgage his home up
in Oxford for q large enough sum
to pay back the charter money.

STUMPY POINT CHANNEL
TO GET IMPROVEMENT

Stumpy Point is not yet dead
as a fishing center. The channel
got filled in lot, due to the hurri-
canes, and the many shrimp, oyster
and fishing boats that go in and
out from the Lake Worth docks
have been handicapped. But Con-
gresham Herbert Bonner has
been advised that the Corp OF
Engineers will spend some $4,000
to dredge out the channel to a
depth of six feet.
Facilities at this area, and at
the other end of the community
have been enlarged and improved
recently by private interests.
Stumpy Point has better means
than ever of handling and process
ing fish. Many fishermen from
other counties now use it for their
port of operations, with good
roads going north and west, II
offers easy access to markets.
With completion of the Croatan
Sound bridge, next year there will
be a fast way to get fish to Nor
folk, and for shipment to Northern
markets.

ESTIMATED COSTS
OCRACOKE ROAD
WOULD BE $4,000
Figures Run Over the $500, 900
Alloca+ed For Project
Last Year

The modern road that the High
way Commission proposes to build
down Ocracoke Island would cost
about $46O,OOO, Chief Engineer w
H. Rogers, Jr., said in Raleigh
Wednesday.
Rogers said the contract bids
received in Tuesdays letting
amounted to 1921, 984.5O and rep
resented only part of the actual
cost of the road.
He said that purchasing of the
stone, hauling it by barge from
the mainland to the island and
stockpiling it - plus engineering
and contingencies cost would
run the total cost of the road to
$46O,OOO.
The stone, alone, for the SIX
inch compacted stone base will
cost about $175,0OO, Rogers said
Only 100000 has been set up
for the Ocracoke road, he said.
AS planned and drawn up, the
project would consist of 1868 miles
of grading, structures and paving
from Ocracoke Village northeast
toward Hatteras.
The road will be trenched out
of the beach and cut through sane
dunes, with stone used for six
inch deep compacted stone base
Is feet wide. The job also calls TO:
paving the road with a bituminou
surface treatment.
! Several creo soted timbe
bridges will be built in the SAINT
dune area so that high ocean an
sound water will go under tn
bridges rather than over the road

cHlcAlMACOMlCO PEOPLE
URGE JULIAN GRAY TO
RUN FOR COMMlSSlO NlER

The three villages which COM
prise the precinct of Chicamaco-
mico namely, Rodanthe, Waves and
Salvo, which represent about half
the population of Kinnakeet
Township now think it is time
they had representation on one of
the county Boards, and several
people have been urging Lieut..
Julian L. Gray to run for County
Commissioners in the forthcoming
primary.
For several years now, the viii
lage of Avon has been the resi-
dence of both of the townships
members on the Board of Educa-
ton and County Commissioners,
and many think turnabout is fair
play, since it is rumored that
James w. Scarborough, County
Commissioners Of Avon, does not
plan to offer for reelection. Chica-
macomico precinct has supported
many candidates from Avon, and
now hopes for return Of the
favor.
Like Mr.. Scarborough, Lieut..
Gray is retired Coast Guards
man. He retired in 1855 after
having. served long. His career has
taken him to New. England, Flori-
da, Colorado and many other
states, beside his war service in
the combat zone of the South
Pacific. Mr.. Gray is native Of
Salvo, the son of the late Cyrus
Gray, and is the husband Of Mrs.
Bethany Gray who is q daughter
Of the late Capt. John Allen Mid
gett Of Rodanthe.

ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
BY COMMITTEES OF
PIRATES JAMBOREE

Continued enthusiasm in the sec
ond annual Dare Coast Pirates
Jamboree is being shown through
out the county according to infor-
nation received from various COM
mittees. During the past week two
large-scale committee meetings
have been held.
The second meeting, last Friday
night, was down at Hatteras at
the Atlantic View Hotel. Scotty
Gibson, Hatteras committee chair
man, presided. Following this
meeting it was reported that the
committees there had planned a
full schedule from early morning
until late at night on Friday, Ap-
ril 27, opening day of the big va
cation season launching event. The
events planned for Hatteras in
clude fishing contests, the worlds
biggest salt water fish fry, col
orful exhibition of the Ocracoke
Island banker ponies by the only
banker-pony mounted Boy Scout
troop in the world, beach buggy
races and a water-carnival type Of
dance at the Blue Marlin Fishing
docks during the evening.
Monday this week George Crock
er entertained the Dare Beaches
and Roanoke Island committee
members in the Nautilus Room of
Beacon Motor Lodge. The meeting
was marked by large attendance
and refreshments were served the
group. Reports from sub-commit-
tee members were made. This in
cluded those in charge of costum-
ing, decorating, prizes and souve-
Mrs, the big Pirates Ball, lobster
feast, model plane contest, beach
buggy obstacle races, jalopy races,
treasure hunt and other special
attractions. It was announced that
DIR. Sylvester Green, vice-president
of Wake Forest College, would be
the theologian conducting the re-
ligious services on Sunday morn

TWO MAINS HARBOR
MEN BOUND OVER
TO SUPERIOR COURT
Charged With Theft Of Boat
Equipment; Using Virginia
Tags Cost Money
d. Nowadays.

Albert Warde of Manns Harbor
had in his charge some motor boat
equipment belonging to H. B.
Culpepper of Durant Island. He
found it missing. A motor and
pump, a battery and six gallons
of gas in all, and estimated to be
worth $286.
Following activity on the part
of Deputy Sheriff Clarence Hassell
of Manns Harbor, two young men,
Amos Grain and Hubert Ambrose
found themselves in court Tuesday,
charged with taking the articles.
Grain pleaded guilty, but Ambrose
claimed innocence and had Attorn-
ey Wallace McCown to represent
him. Judge Baum found probable
cause, and bound them over to
Superior Court. Willie Grain sign
ed the appearance bond.
Motorists living in Dare County
continue to find it costly to keep
on using Virginia tags. In some
parts of the county where patrol
men seldom appeared, it was Gus
tomary to keep on using old tags
on cars bought in Virginia. In
fact, in many instances, titles were
never exchanged. Now that Patrol
man Arthur Fields is active, cases
involving improper tags are COM
ing up every week.
This week Hobson Willis Jr. of
Frisco paid $40 and costs, and
Dennis Lee Greet of ,Wanchese
paid SIS and costs for using i'm
proper plates.
George Albert Wise, colored,
continued to ignore a court order
requiring him to support his fam
lily. The Judge gave him "a hours
to raise some money or to go to
the roads to serve a two-year SEN
tence.
Robert Ashby and Annie Black
bottom were each charged with
assaulting the other. What the
fight was about it nos recorded,
but both were found guilty and
each paid $40 and costs.

HEARING TUESDAY
BEFORE JUDGE ON
DARE SCHOOL ROW
Kitty Hawk Petition For Restraint
Of Dare Board Of Education
In Elizabeth City Feb. 20

There is much interest in the
forthcoming hearing set for Tues
day morning of next week at 10
am. Feb. 18th before Judge Bur-
gwyn in Superior Court in Eliza
beth City, to hear the petition of
the Kitty Hawk school COMMITTEES
that a permanent restraining order
be issued to estop the Board of
Education of Dare County from
continuing with the program for
school buildings which they have
approved.
This legal action is the result Of
a dispute in the Kitty Hawk area
growing out of the failure of the
Committee to get approval fol
erection of a high school in the
District.
In connection with this action
the Kitty Hawk PTA met last
week, and by resolution expressed
unqualified endorsement of the
action of the Committee, contend
ing, with the Committee, that lega
action was resorted to in order t.
achieve the ends of the COMMITTEES
only after all other appeals ant
methods had failed. They content
that they hope in this manner onl!
to get the needs of "the Kit!
Hawk school district properly an,
fully-to the attention of the Stat,
Board of Education for their con
sideration."
The resolution is lengthy, ant
has already received considerable
publicity, but the Kitty Hawk PIT
says the relief sought in this actiol
is with malice toward none."

ODD TURN DEVELOPS
IN RACE IN MANTEO
FOR POSTM'STERSHlP
New Rating Puts Clerk Shannon
At Head of List and Acting
Postmaster Jones Below
Bottom

The race for postmaster OF
Manteo appears to be of much in
terest locally and many requests
have come to this newspaper for
a report on it's status to date. So
far as can be learned at this time,
this race has taken an odd turn,
for while the President is Repub-
Iican, and the party faithful had
looked forward to early appoint
ment of Acting Postmaster Ray
w. Jones, recent turnabout in
the ratings has left Mr.. Jones
clean off the list of applicants, and
the three eligibles now are all
listed as Democrats, with Post
office Clerk Benjamin Shannon
number one on the list.
Numbers two and three on the
list are the brothers Swain, Ralph
and Lawrence in order named, and
if either of the three should win
the appointment which is due Gum
less another upset occurs) within
60 days, the Postoffice will still
remain in the Democratic column.
The new investigation and rating
followed complaint some time ago,
made by Earle Green of Manteo,
one Of the candidates disqualified
in the first go-round. Mr.. Green
contended he had not received
proper credit for his service in the
armed forces.A civil service invest
igator came to Manteo, and made
a thorough canvass of the town,
among other things questioning
the businessmen as to the business
experience of the candidates, but
particularly on Community accept
ability" of the various applicants.
Naturally, there is Democratic
citation at the idea that the post
office may not get out Of the
Democratic column, and much Re-
publican disappointment because
the only candidate of the party
asking for the office should be
dropped from the list Of eligibles.
Of course there is many a slip.
between the cup and the lip, so
we will see what we will see.
