group then proceeded at a leisurely
pace, with only one brief stop to
the lighthouse where the Governor
and Colonel Brown, with Mr..
Hanks as guide, examined the
Byrum and-fixiation project that
has withstood 20 years of storm
unchanged. Mr.. Hanks took the
Governor on brief visit to the
Park Service Maritime Museum.
From the museum the U. s.
Navy took over. Commander John
Caldwell, officer in charge of the
Nays secret facility now being
completed a thousand feet north
of the lighthouse, and Lieut.. r. K.
Seibel, acting commander of the
Seventh Battalion of the Nays
Seabees, took the Governor and
Colonel Brown on an inspection Of
the work in progress, following
which there was a half hour OF
relaxation before dinner time.
During this interval Acting
Group Commander Luther Dudley
Burrus came with Capt. James
DeJoy, commandant of the Coast
Guard Air Base at Elizabeth City
who had come down, with Lieut..
John McNatt as pilot, to take the
Governor to Elizabeth City by
helicopter. When the group was
ushered into the mess hall at the
station the Governors eyes widen
ed with pleasure: Chief Cook John
Lewis Midget had fixed him a
cake, complete with Welcome
Governor" emblazoned on it. After
a shrimp-and-steak dinner the Gov
ernor cut the cake, asked for its
maker to come in and thanked him
and complimented him warmly.
AS soon as he got up from the
table the Governor began to get
into his fishing clothes. He was
accompanied to the Point by Cap
tain DeJoy, whose instructor and
guide for the outing was Seaman
Jasper Williams. The fishing last
ed for a little more than an hour
when they came back, got aboard
the Coast Guards helicopter, with
the Governor riding. as co-pilot, for
the trip to Elizabeth City, planning
to fly low over the beach as far
north as Currituck Light and then
cross over to the mainland. The
Governor promised to be back next
month. = Ben Dixon MacNeill

with rod and reel, began here 30
years ago.
From the moment he came
ashore from Frazier Peele's Hat
teras Inlet ferry and the Islanders
got their first look at him they
were hoping that the now legend
airy 'tfirst drum" honor would be
his, not because he was governor
but because he came pretty near
to being the most relaxed and
friendly man who ever debarked
from any kind of boat to visit the
Island. Although the ferry was an
hour late-and he had waited the
hour in chilly wind on the Ocra-
coke. end of the run, the guest
said amiably that the things
could proceed as if he had arrived
on time, skipping nothing.
Governor Hodges had, he said,
taken a day off and come down
unaccompanied by anybody except
Col. Harry Brown just to visit
around to see what there was to
see in the time available, and if
they were biting, to see if there
was a fish in the ocean. The day
had been six weeks in the plan
ming and there were no formali-
ties in it. He made his goodbyes
to the crew of the ferry and to
Division Engineer w. N. Spruill
who had shown him the location
of the projected road on Ocracoke
and turned to greet the Islanders.
First of these was BMC Edward
Midget, officer in charge of Hat
teras Inlet Coast Guard Station
nearby who took aboard in his
car Colonel Brown and Allyn
Hanks, superintendent of Cape
Hatteras National Seashore. After
greetings from Victor Meekins,
Manteo publisher, the party went
over to the U. S. Weather Bureau
where a hurricane warning center
is being brought into being. They
were welcomed by Meteorologist
c. A. Wardman who had delayed
the mornings balloon ascension I'M
til the Governor could arrive. The
balloon takes an automatic radio
aloft and sends back word about
the weather and that day it outdid
itself: it reached an altitude of
$4,000 feet before it disintegrated.
The word from it was good.
Here the Governor turned back
into the village to speak to Maui
rice Burrus and his brother, Luther
D. Burrus, ST., whose son was
host to the party at lunch. The

the ancient end of the old court
house will have to ibe done over
to keep up with the times, so ''it
will never do boys, we've got to
go ahead and fix it too"
The county has already spent
about $4,000 fooling with the
thing, but if usual architects fees
prevail, it will cost another $1,000
and better for architectural super
vision, and that will be fine for
him. When the job is wound up,
the county will have nothing Of
which it can be proud, nothing
that will serve the county's future
needs No room and no parking
space, and the remainder of the
courthouse will be an eyesore I'M
til done over also.
Well, it's a mighty fine thing
to have somebody give you money
to spend, and its still better when
all you've got to do if you want
some more is just pass it on to
the people, by raising their taxes.
and they will come right up with
it. They may growl a little, but
they always pay, and instead of
ever letting up on them, its
squeeze a little more every year.
Hurrah for the new Jail and the
fine courthouse, so the officers can
find room for more help to do
their work for them.

projects. He never offered any OBJ
lection to the plan. The rest of the
Board all appeared glad to spend
the money, with the exception Of
Capt. Will Lewark of Kill Devil
Hills, and he got to the point
where he wouldn't vote at all when
the subject came up.
While the Board said they would
build her anyhow, they did take
time to consult the Attorney Gem
eral, and were told it would not
be wise to start until they first
had all the money. So they decided
to call another election, but so
much opposition arose, they later
said they had decided to call the
whole thing off because it might
affect the outcome of proposed
elections for construction of new
schools at Kitty Hawk and Man
teo.
In spite of all Of this, the Board
went ahead, and put the tax on
the people of the whole county to
raise the extra money, and folks
are now paying it right along. In
this manner they will raise about
$1,000 a year. If they start the,
Jail project, it will be underway
for a year or more, and even then
they will have a long way to go
to get the rest of the money. No
body believes it will cost less than
100000, and when it is finished,
