Harold V. Pace, Scout Executive.
Many more boys are anxious to
become Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts
and Explorers, according to Pace,
but there needs to be many more
churches, P.T.A.'s, Service, civic,
fraternal and veteran organizations
which are willing to sponsor the
units.
Under the leadership of George
H. Bowers, President of the Tide
water Council, an effort has been
launched seeking to register fifty
new Boy Scout Troops by May 31st
of this year. The District Organi-
cation and Extension Committees
will guide the effort, and the "key
person" in each new troop enrolled
will receive copy of the special
edition of the Handbook for Boys"
being published by the Boy Scouts
of America in commemoration of
the printing of the Is millioneth
copy which is being presented to
President Eisenhower during Boy
Scout Week.
1857 will go down as a great
year in Scouting history because it
marks the Tooth anniversary of
Scouting's founder, Lord Robert
Baden Powell, and the 50th ami
versary of Scouting in the world.
England is sponsoring a British
Jubilee Jamboree in August to
suitably commemorate the occa-
sion, and six Tidewater Explorers
will be privileged to go. In Ameri-
ca $4,000 Scouts, Explorers and
leaders will gather at Valley Forge
Park, Pa, for the Fourth National
Jamboree of the Boy Scouts Of
America and the second to be helC
on that hallowed ground, July II.
10. 172 Tidewater Scouts and Elk
plorers will get to go and nearly
$50 of them are already recruited
Others are urged to inquire as tx
how they can fill the limited space
left.
Never in the history of the ma
ton has Scouting been so badl!
needed as a proven method o.
building character, patriotism ant
kindred virtues in the youth of oul
land, and it deserves the supper
| of every right-thinking citizen.

30 MILLION PEOPLE WILL
SEE FIRST FLIGHT AREA

In Commute TV program over
NBC on Sunday afternoon, March
18th, the Wright Bros. National
Monument and other scenes at Kill
Devil Hills are expected to be
shown. The program will be en-
titled Flight"
Dare County Tourist Bureau Of
ficials in cooperation with Miles L.
Clark and Wade Mari. of Kill Dew
il Hills Memorial Society and Or
vile Baum and Julian Oneto of the
Mays Head Chamber of Commerce
met with representatives of Ma
tional Broadcasting Company who
flew here Tuesday. Also here were
technicians of WTTN-TV, Wash
ington, N. c., WUNCT-TV. Chapel
Hill, Norfolk-Carolina Tel. and
Tel. Co., and ATT. Co. of Eliza
beth City and Norfolk.
There seemed to be no question
about transmitting a live program
direct from Kill Devil Hills, ac-
cording to the technicians. Alan
Neuman, WWW producer, inter-
viewed various persons who will
be on the program including Or
vile Baum, son of Elijah Baum
who met the boat that brought Will
bur Wright to Kitty Hawk in Sep
TENDER 1900; Miss Margaret
Pearce of Manteo, granddaughter
of the late John T. Daniels, who
as a surfman in the old Kill Devil
Hills station of 1908 had helped
the Wrights, made the first pic
ture of plane in flight and be-
came the first casualty of an air
plane when after the Wright's
fourth flight a gust of wind turned
the machine over on him. Adrian
Ayers of Manteo school who serves
as an NPS guide at the monument
during the summer is also expect
ed to be on the program. Mrs.
Pauline Woodland, daughter of the
late Capt. and Mrs. John Tate of
Kitty Hawk (she is now postmas-
ter at Coinjock), and Harry Moore
of Norfolk who reported the first
story about the first flight will also
be on the program according to
present plans.
The WWW Flight program will
begin at Kill Devil Hills and some
80 minutes later will end here, in
meantime taking in from other
sections all phases of aviation.
Neuman said it would take $500
workers to put on the show, and
about 60 persons will be necessary
to operate the mobile equipment to
be brought here.
Sponsored by General Motors,
the Commute television show is
regularly seen by an estimated 80
to 81 million persons, Newman
stated. Infamous Dave Garroway
is the sponsor and will interview
various persons in the different
sections of the United States hav-
ing roles, direct from NBC studio
in New York.
Said Miles Clark: "This will be
a million dollars worth of publicity
for Kill Devil Hill, Kitty Hawk
and the Dare Coast area-all in one
80 minute package"

A SUGGESTION

An interested reader has SUBJ
mitted the following:
We are glad that the Mays Head
Radar Unit of the Third AAA
Group is flying a new ensign these
days at the Old Mays Head Coast
Guard Station. Wen be happier
though when it again flies from
the top of the mast rather than
from the yardarm.
