A. Instead of a reasonably court
eous business approach to their
problem, some of their spokesmen
were particularly offensive in their
dealings with the Board of Educa-
tion, which has among it's men,
bers some persons too, of small
ability, and incompetent to run
affairs even when sailing is
smooth. Bring two opposing ele-
ments like this together, and the
result is fore-ordained. This final
ly wound up in the further i'll ad-
vised step of bringing lawsuit
to force the Board of Education in
court. In our opinion of course, the
Board of Education is as much at
fault for this condition arising, as
it is the fault of the hot heads in
the Kitty Hawk group. But it hap

down, on the part of both sides,
with a willingness to listen to wise
and rational counsel, if any happy
results are to be accomplished.

CASINO OPENING
SET FOR SECOND
SAT. IN MARCH

G. T. Westcott's Nags Head
Casino is slated to open next Sat-
urday night, March 10, with an
all-colored band for the first dance
of the season.
Westcott and his crew have been
busy for several weeks getting the
amusement center ready for the
season. The entire place has been
cleaned and dance floor and bowl
ing alleys polished, plus much of
the area painted. When the Casino
opens, however, the bowling alleys
will not be open. They are to be
opened few weeks later, prob
ably sometime in April.
Johnny Day and orchestra, an
all-eolored group from Norfolk,
will play for the opener. This out
fit has made several appearances
in past seasons at Nags Head and
is well-liked, according to an
nouncement from Westcott. "Ras"
promises much good entertain
ment this season, with big name
bands to be lined up for later
dates.

WINDS
A SETBACK TO.
SHAD FISHERMEN

The hard winds that prevailed
on the North Carolina coast Sat
urday did considerable damage to
pound nets belonging to Manns
Harbor fishermen. Wanchese fish
ermen escaped with only slight
losses, caused by a few broken
stakes.
Biggest loss from the blow was
the setback in the catch of shad
which fell considerably below nor
NAL, and has remained so through
out the week. Largest catch of
shad reported at Wanchese We'd
nesday was 40.. AS high as 100
were reported Monday.
Crabbers have recently got busy,
and fairly good catches from bait
ed pots are being made in the
Wanchese area, according to Mack
Etheridge, operator of the fishing
center at Wanchese. AS weather
rises in temperature, this industry
is expected to do well.
Some fishermen report good
season in February. On the whole,
catches have been small but the
Lenten market is helping to keep
prices up. March is also expected
to be a good month, as Easter is
not until April 2.

boat for that matter, but should
be anxious to help promote club
in this area. Meeting time is 7:45.

GRADING UNUSUAL
ROAD JOB BEGUN
AT CAPE HATTERAS
New Bypass to Cut Over Hill and
Dale 500 Feet South
Of Lighthouse

Buxton on Cape Hatteras, Mar.
1.-Grading began this week on
one of the most formidable high
way construction projects ever un-
dertaken in North Carolina when
the Navy's Seventh Battalion,
Mobile Construction command un-
limbered its earth-movers on the
newly established right of way
for Wirth Boulevard which leaves
the Outer Banks Highway in front
of the L. D. Midget house in
Buxton and after crossing five
ridges and four sedges, debouches
into level country 1900 feet south
of the Lighthouse.
Conrad Wirth, director of the
National Park Service, envisioned
the road the first time he came to
Cape Hatteras after the area be-
came a national recreation area
but it's actual construction did not
appear as a possibility until after
the arrival of the Navy's Seabees
on the Island last May when they
began work on the secret Navy
facility which lies on both sides
the existing road north of the
Lighthouse, and will eventually
block it.
First definite mention of the
possibility that the Seabees might
build the road as a replacement
for the existing highway was
heard last June when Paul Mellon
u. S. Senator Kerr Scott anG
Huntington Cairns, settled dowr
for a talk on the hill that looks
down on Cape Hatteras. The new.
ly established Seabees camp was
spread out, as it still is in the
plain below the hill. The matter
was discussed in Washington a
various levels and the first intima
tion that the plan was taking
shape came early in the fall.

OUTER BANKS
AND BELHAVEN
IN PROGRAM
Governor Hodges Urges $I9 Mil
lion Federal Funds For
Hurricane Relief

North Carolina Governor Hod-
ges Tuesday urged his States
congressional delegation to work
on obtaining $19 million in Federal
funds for an emergency hurricane
relief program.
The Governor said the money
was needed to minimize future
hurricane damage to the Tar Heel
coast and repel beach erosion
which threatens the States 320
mile coastline.
Governor Hodges pointed out
that far bigger sum had been
appropriated by Congress for the
New England area following the
hurricane-flood disasters of last
Fall. A similar request for aid by
the West Coast after the. floods a
couple of months ago also was
granted, the Governor stated.
The Tar Heel delegation, which
included both Senators and all
Representatives but two, unani-
mously agreed in principle with
the Governor and said it would
Immediately begin investigating
the full extent of aid granted the
New England and West Coast
areas.
In addition to the hurricane
emergency aid, the Governor call
ed attention to a SO million re-
quest of North Carolina for i'm
proving navigation in the States
rivers and harbors.
Governor Hodges said the $40
million request was not based on
the result of an engineering sur
ey, but was an estimate by re-
sponsible parties.
Included in the $40 million were
requests for:
$6,310,0OO to construct groins
(asphalt, jetties) to prevent beach
erosion.
$5,640,000 for groins to protect
the Outer Banks.
$1,579,550 to construct sand
dunes.
$5,386,000 for draining agricul-
tural lands.
$333,000 for breakwater at the
town of Belhaven.

MACS HEAD GROUP
DEMAND REMOVAL
FROM KITTY HAWK
Citizens Want Their Township
Transferred Back Under
Manteo District
: Photo by Sidney Shaw

What appears to be a solid de-
mand from citizens of Nags Head
Township, whose pupils had been
allotted to the Kitty Hawk High
School, to be permitted to be pu
back with the Manteo School Dis
trict, is to come before the Dare
County Board of Education next
week. A petition has been circulat-
ed this week in all the area south
of the new Atlantic Township line.
People of this area contend they
were Disseminated against when
the Board of Education acceded to
the demands of the Kitty Hawk
school committee to put this area
out of Manteo district. They in
sisted on sending their children to
Manteo. In hope of stopping this,
the Kitty Hawk Committee de-
manded the Board deny these chill
dren the right to ride on the Man
teo bound bus, which was never
otherwise loaded. Nor would the
board permit the children to ride
even if they furnished their own
transportation to the junction of
the Jigsaw Road.
Patrons were then put to the
trouble and expense of bringing
their children to Manteo, hence no
one could see reason or wisdom in
this action.
Patrons of this area also say
they want to get out of the Kitty
Hawk District for another reason.
They do not wish to always be
involved in squabbles and fights
which is what they expect so long
as the Kitty Hawk. people allow
their affairs to be taken over and
run by some who are now in the
saddle. They say such conditions
are not good for the school, nor
the children, and they do not want
a part in any of it.
Hearing Continued
Since the Committee found
themselves up against opposition
in their own district, particularly
the action taken by Nags Head
people, they agreed to continue the
hearing against the Board of Edu-
cation that was set for Tuesday,
Feb. 2Sth before Judge Burgwyn
in Elizabeth City and until Tues
day of next week, when the Dare
County Board meets in Manteo. 1t
may be safe observation to say the
action will be dropped at that time.

brick and masonry, housing class
rooms, dining and kitchen facili-
ties, etc.

ARC TOURNAMENT STARTS;
MANTEO SPLITS OPENER
Both Teams Lose Final Scheduled Game;
Girls Defeat Kitty Hawk in Tourn-
ament. Play Again Friday

The Manteo girls lost their op-
portunity to tie for first place in
the final Albemarle Rural Con-
ference standings last Friday
night when they lost to the fiery
Griggs girls at Griggs. The Red
Skins were unable to keep up
with the fast-moving Griggs girls
and lost many opportunities. Final
score was Griggs So, Manteo, 45.
Mabel Jean Basnight hit % points
for Manteo. The girls wound up
in second place with a 9-3 con-
ference record.
For the first time this year both
Manteo teams lost their games.
The Manteo boys saw the Griggs
lead increase steadily in the second
half and were unable to catch up.
Griggs SO, Manteo, A. J. D. Simp-
son hit 16 points for the Red
Skins.
Tournament Starts
The Albemarle Rural Confer
ence tournament got off to a good
start Wednesday night at the Eliz-
abeth City High Schol gymnasium.
There was strong rivalry between
the teams and they played before
a packed house.
In the 700 o'clock game, the
first of the tournament, the Cam
den Rebels completely outclassed
Kitty Hawk in winning 74-40.
The second game was between
the Manteo girls and the Kitty
Hawk girls. Manteo had nine-
point lead at half time and played
as fine a ball game as they have
played this season. Jean Sears hit
10 points for the Red Skins, to en-
able them to win $3.50. Coach Fry
emptied his bench in the final
minutes and gave all girls a little
playing time. Friday night the
girls will meet the winner of the
Weeksville-Moyock game at 600.
Elsie Hines hit II points for the
foul-beridden Kitty Hawk girls.

THOUSAND DOLLARS
SWIPED FROM WISE
MARKET IN MANTEO

Wise's Market in Manteo was
robbed of cash and checks to the
tune of $1,097.51 Thursday last
week when a sneak-thief opened
the door of a safe in the back room
of the store, took out a deposit of
checks and cash that had been
made up to take to the bank dur
ing the day.
Willis Wise, manager of the
store, says he knew pretty well
who got the money; that to his
knowing, only one person had ac-
cess to the safe. He says efforts
to get local peace officers to make
an investigation or to grill any
person suspected have failed. He
says officers refused to make in
quiries, or to pick up the suspect.
Mrs. Wise, who made up the de-
posit, says it contained $71O in
cash and $387.52 in checks.
Some four years ago a series of
robberies at this store, eliminated
in apprehension of several ne
groes, who hauled away the stores
safe in an automobile, along with
much merchandise. The safe was
broken open and ruined beyond re-
pair. Only a carton of cigarettes
was recovered. Several negroes
went to prison for the crime, but in
that instance, it was efforts of the
late Claude Wise, which played
the major part in apprehending
the criminals, and he contended
they would otherwise have escap-
ed.

KILL DEVIL HILLS
4 STATUS UPHELD IN
SUPREME COURT
Election Declared Invalid; Five
Miles of Drainage bitches
Completed This Month.

Kill Devil Hills is still a muni-
cipality, according to the Supreme
Court of North Carolina, which
ruled Wednesday, upholding de-
cision by Judge Chester Morris
last September. On May 8 last
year, in the first election in the
history of the young town, two
years old, the vote was held on
the question of repeating the town
charter.
The vote favoring repeal of the
charter was 76 to 70. In the same
election, town officials We're elect
ed for the first time. Since then
the officials haven't been COM
pletely certain they had muni-
cipality to govern.
James C. Tillett, resident and
taxpayer of Kill Devil Hills,
brought action to have the town
declared non-existent and to pre-
vent the mayor and other officials
from performing the duties of of
fees he contended didn't exist.
The officials demurred. They
said a petition containing 81
names, which resulted in the refer
endun for repeal of the charter,
failed. to comply with the statute
outlining the methods for abolish
ing town.
Judge Morris agreed with the
town officials. So did the State
Supreme Court.
Officials of the town of Kill
Devil Hills were represented by
McCown & McCown of Manteo
and complainants by Forrest Dun
stan of Elizabeth City.
During all the long delay ir
waiting for court decisions. the
town kept on doing business. There
was no stoppage of work. The
town got many thousands of dol.
lars in Powell Bill funds for street
work. 1t recently got some SILL
