Legal Red Tape Blocks

Mr.. Schumann agreed that 1t
would not be possible in many

Gen. Ovenshine asked Mr..

the proper procedure.

March Date Selected
Before Mr.. Fitzgerald offered
his warning. the supervisors
were preparing to set March %
as the date for a public hearing

proved by a Stool vote when

that time, Mr.. DeBell cast the
only dissenting vote.
Mr.. Keith declared yesterday
he no longer could vote for the
plan.
Il understood this was to con-
troll minimum lot sizes only"
said Mr.. Keith. 1T has become
apparent in the meantime it also
would place into effect the busi-
mess and industrial recommended
ltions of the McHugh plan. This
would impose serious hardship
on many businesses and seri-
Iously affect our tax structure"

would be affected whenever the
county finally adopts a master

A BIG WEEK END:
FISHING.
HUNTING, DANCING
Thanks Giving Next Week Expect
ed TO Usher in Many Events
at Naes Head
By AYCOCK BROWN

Nags Head.-One of the most
unusual number of attractions ever
presented during the late autumn
season is planned here by the Car
Gilman hotel on Thanksgiving
week end, November 21-25.
Outdoor events will include an
old fashion turkey shoot, fox hunts,
fishing contest and surfside
sightseeing and sea shell-driftwood
contest and indoors each evening
will be regular or old fashion
square dances, it was announced
this week by Mrs. Lucille S. Pur-
ser. First event scheduled will be
on Thanksgiving Day eva gi-
gantic oyster roast of Pamlico
Sound oysters gathered from
special locality especially for this
occasion.
For those who enjoy the baying
of the hounds, there will be fox
hunts on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday mornings in Nags Head
Woods with John Ray Watkins of
Oxford as master of the hunts.
The Watkins-mastered hunts have
become famous on Nags Head
where the big final hunt of the
year is held each Valentine season
week end in February. The hunts
next week end, according to Jul
ian Oneto, resident manager of the
hotel, ,Ewill be- preliminaries of the
now nationally famous Valentine
hunts.
Following the oyster roast on
Wednesday night there will be spe-
cial entertainment and an old fash
ion square dance in the Carolinian
Pine Room, and following the fox
hunt on Thanksgiving Thursday
morning, will be the featured tur-
key shoot, with several turkeys to
be awarded. To make it unusual,
persons taking part must shoot an
cient muzzle-loaders, their private
guns or those which may be bor-
rowed from the hotels rack of un-
usual century-old guns. This event
is open to the public, and residents
of Dare County and surrounding
area are especially invited.
The sightseeing safari along the
surf on Friday will give beach
combers an opportunity to find un-
usual shells and driftwood washed
ashore from recent stormy seas
that have changed the topography
of the beach in spots.
The surf fishing contest for Car
Gilman guests with prizes for the
biggest fishes will be held on Sat-
urday morning for those who do
not follow the hounds on the final
foxhunt and there will be dancing
again on Saturday night.

DEDICATION OF CROATAN
SOUND BRIDGE MAY SET OFF
BIGGEST CELEBRATION EVER
Event Contemplated for Early April May Bring
Legislature and Highway Commission to Dare
County and Launch Annual Pirates Jamboree
Festival With Biggest Bang in History of the

The proposed dedication of the
Croatan Sound Bridge in early
April may easily set off the big
gest celebration ever held on this
coast, and launch the annual Pi-
rates Jamboree festival and sum-
mer tourist season with the big
gest bang in Coastal history if
plans advocated by State Highway
Commissioner Emmett Winslow,
and other leaders of this region
are carried out.
While the $3,00O,000 bridge is
expected to be open to traffic
about the first of the year, Mr..
Winslow believes the dead of win
ter is no time to plan a celebra-
ton which might become the big
gest dud ever with the possible ad-
vent of sudden unfavorable wealth
er. 1t is Mr.. Winslow's idea that
the entire North Carolina legisla-
ture might be brought to the Dare
Coast for this event, along with
the entire Highway Commission,
the Governor and other state Off
cials.
Coming along in April, the dedi-
cation of the bridge will coincide
with the Pirate Jamboree festival
which usually extends over a three
day period with the star event
taking place on Hatteras Island.
A combination of all these observ-
ances would bring the biggest
crowds ever known on this island,
and would serve as never before,
to center the entire attention of
the state and it's officials upon
the advantages as well as the
problems which face the develop
ment of the Coastland.
By early April all the states
ferry boats will have time 10 be
put in top condition after taking
three off the Croatan Sound run,
and adequate working schedules
may be worked out across Alliga-
tor River and Oregon Inlet, and
perhaps an improved ferry service
established across Hatteras Inlet,
for by that time it is expected the
road now under construction on
Ocracoke Island will have been
finished and open to traffic.
To properly plan for and stage
such a suitable celebration will
call for the combined activities of
the ablest leadership of the entire

MAINS HARBOR WOMAN HAD
CLOSE CALL IN EXPLOSION

Mrs. w. E. Pinner of Manns
Harbor narrowly escaped serious
injury Thursday night when boil
er exploded in the Jefferson Hotel
annex, Norfolk. Mrs. Pinner es-
capped by getting through a win
dow. Other occupants of the hotel
also had close calls.
One guest at the hotel, Eugene
Rawls, %, of Williamson, RID,
was occupying a room in the
hotel basement, with window too
small to crawl through, and he
was scalded critically and taken
to a hospital, where his chances
were reported as slim. The Jeffer-
SON Hotel consists Of two units.
The main part of the hotel has
suffered three costly fires during
the past several months. The boil
er explosion in the annex may
have been the result of careless
operation resulting in turning cold
water into a dry boiler.

CONSTRUCTION BEGUN
ON NEW PAVED ROAD
ON OCRACOKE ISLAND

Ocracoke, Nov. 12.--Actual con-
struction of the new paved road
up the Island from Ocracoke to-
ward Hatteras Inlet has begun. A
good deal of heavy machinery is
here and more is en- route. Con-
tractor is Dickinson, Inc. of Mon
roe, N. C. Grading foreman Modoy
is on the job and approximately
mile is in a partial stage of con-
struction in the dune area about
three miles north of Ocracoke vii
lage. This road is to have six
inch mari base with surface treat
ment. There will be seven bridges
of creosoted timber, four of which
are nearing completion except for
hand ratings and other minor de-
tails. These bridges are located at
places where in seasons of high
tides or storms the ocean water
washes across into Pamlico Sound.
They will take care of the excess
water, thus saving damage to the
road. Meanwhile the streets in the
Village are being improved by
widening the surface area. Ocra-
cokers, who for so many years
have had no access off the Island
except by boat or hazardous beach
travel, are looking forward eagerly
to this link of the proposed AL
Seashore Highway.
