HYDE CONTROVERSY
BELIEVED TO HAVEI
COST $I0.o00.ooI
Costly Outlay Preeipitated by
Board of Educafion's Hasty
Action

What is called the hasty action
of the Board of Education of Hyde
County in attempting to move En-
gelhards high school to Swan
Quarter, had resulted in an esti-
mated cost to citizens and taxpay-
RS of upwards of $4,000 when
the case ended Thursday of last
week in special term of Hyde
County court.
Engelhard citizens estimate that
the controversy to save their school
has cost the citizens of the COM
munity over $4,000 in legal and
other expenses involved. For the
most part, they are pleased at hav-
ing some sort of victory in the
judgment signed, by the court, fol-
lowing a resolution by the Board
of Education to build one central
high school at Lake Comfort.
But the citizens are in addition,
paying their part of the taxes
which will be spent by the Board
of Education in fighting the case.
The cost will be assumed by all the
people of the county, and is esti-
mated. to run better than SIS, 900 for
court expenses and attorneys fees.
Spokesman for the Board of Edu-
cation have complained that the
cost of this term of court was I'M
necessarily brought ON the county
by the citizens of Engelhard. But
Engelhard spokesman say the
Board of Education, by their high
handed and illegal action and fail
ure to properly notify the Engel-
hard citizens of the proposed
change, and their refusal to give
them due consideration, made it
necessary for Engelhard patrons to
fight for their rights.
The Hyde County school contro-
versy ended last Thursday with a
compromise between Engelhard
school patrons and the County

FISHING EDITOR VISITING

Joe Pancoast, fishing and out

are on the Dare Coast this week
as guests of The Carolinian on
Mays Head. They will visit all
fishing communities of the Outer
Banks and his daily columns this
week carry area datelines.
Pancoast's daily column in the
Philadelphia Bulletin, with its cir
culation of almost one million cop

many anglers and hunters coming
to the Dare Coast. It is not his
first visit here, but the last time
he was on the Dare Coast was
before the new roads were built
along the Outer Banks, and as he

EAST LAKE PLANS.
CELEBRATION FOR
METHODIST CHURCH
September 10Th To Be 10th Ami
versary Of Sect in The
Community

Sunday week will be big day
for the community of East Lake
when it's Methodist congregation
will stage the annual homecoming
to observe the 10th anniversary Of
Methodism as it applied to this
neighborhood. Rev. George M.
Kelley, late missionary to China
for many years, is now pastor OF
this church, as well as of those at
Manns Harbor and Stumpy Point.
A public invitation is broadcast
to any and all to come for the day
and help in this observance. A
midday picnic will be held follow
ing the sermon and Sunday School
services, which begin at 1890 am.
A song service will follow the din
ner.
Those who have attended one of
these affairs at East Lake know
what a wonderful event they are.
Old residents return from long dis
tances to spend the day. The new
Croatan Sound bridge makes this
one easier than ever to reach from
the east and north. The improved
ferry service makes it easy for its
friends from the west to get there
as never before. Ferries run every
As minutes, leaving Tyrrell Coun-
ty at $3.50 am. and until 1880 pm.
They also run at the same intervals
from East Lake, the last leaving at
z pm.
Methodism got on firm basis
with the organization of this con-
gregation at East Lake in 1887. In
this long settled community, the
Primitive Baptist Church had held
sway, and to this day, few people
retain membership in it, and serv-
ices are held occasionally in the
old church on the Lake Neighbor-
hood road.
Mrs. Ida Hassell of East Lake
recalls the old story about a local
Methodist preacher who one night
preached a sermon in the new
Methodist church in which he pre-
dicted the invention of the airplane
the radio and other electrical mira
cles of today. Back in the eighties
this was blasphemy to the conser.
vative Baptists of the isolated
woodland settlement, and much in
dignation prevailed. Many people
said he should be ridden out of the
community on rail.

NIGHT FERRY NEEDED
ON ALLIGATOR RIVER
Much Satisfaction With Present Daytime
Schedules. Quality Of Boats and
Ease of Loading

Tyrrell County organizations and
citizens are much concerned with
the need for night service over AL
ligator River which would make
possible the transaction of bust
ness through the usual business
hours, and departures in either d.
rection, thereby adding to the con-
venience of the travelling public.
Much marketing of fish and
farm products results from the
travel made possible by this ferry,
and which adds to the Importance
of night trips for those who must
return late.
Travelling statesmen, as well as
those bent on fishing or seashore
recreation are equally anxious for
this service. Tyrrell and Dare, be-
ing thrown together in several fra,
ternal, civic, education and official
districts, now that communication
by highway has been established,
are more acutely needing the night
service.
The travelling public seems well
pleased with the new boats, the
ease with which they load and I'M
load, the faster schedules, and the
clean and neat appearance, which
they truly hope will be maintained
by keeping employed the high-type
Industrious men who now man the
boats. At the present time the
boats are operated on 45 minute
schedules simultaneously through
out the day, from each side of the
river.

MANY DARE PEOPLE IN
TANNERS CREEK HOSPITAL

One who visited the U. S. Pub
lie Health Hospital at Tanners

FINDS TOMATO GROWING ON
ANCIENT BEECHLAND FARM

There are many fables about
the ancient community of Beech
land, long abandoned settlement
on Mill Tail Greek in the midst of
the Dare mainland. Only the old
corn ridges, and a few headstones
remain to remind the occasional
visitor that here flourished in
complete isolation a hardy COM
munity some 200 years ago.
It's been many a day since
vegetables grew on Beechland,
which is now owned by West Vir-
ginia Pulp & Paper Co., and who
are digging canals through its
acres. John M. Greet, company
employee one day last week ate a
tomato, which he found growing
in this old wilderness.

CAROLYN L. LLOYD is teach
err in the high school at Belhaven,
and she has been at it good
many years. as she indicates from
time to time in her column
"Glimpses of the Past" which we
publish, and which has excited
much interest among our readers.
This is why we publish her pic
ture-because so many people are
interested in her. She is the wife
of Jas. w. Lloyd, and a dedicated
teacher whose profession is her
life work. Her long experience in
this work has developed her rare
gift of mind which anon is either
incisive or cryptic, and again down
to earth with her touching refer
ences to by-gone days, and the
things that people learn, and
treasure from out of the past. We
have been grateful for the privil-
eye of printing Mrs. Lloyd's col
umn, and for her helpful editorial
work for us. We often caution her
about her frankness in talking
about the past, which tends some
times to reveal ones age, which
is a woman's most closely guard
ed secret of today. Just read her
column, and you will learn much.
Her words stimulate thought; they
get close to both ones heart and
