CROWDS ON LABOR
GREATEST IN
COASTLAND
Haf+eras Island and Oeraeoke
Unable to Supply Rooms;
Ferries damned on
Week end

The Labor Day holiday brought
to the Dare County coast, and to
Ocracoke and Hatteras Islands in
particular, the greatest number of
people ever to visit it at one time.
Mays Heads rooming and eating
facilities were crowded, and res
taurants report the biggest bust
ness ever enjoyed.
On Saturday, approximately $50
cars were carried across Oregon
Inlet by the three ferryboats, and
this number of course, includes the
smaller number that made the
northbound crossing. For the most
part, this nearly thousand cars
was destined for Hatteras and
Ocracoke Island. The new toll-free
Ocracoke ferry was loaded on each
South bound trip.
Rooming facilities on Hatteras
Island were crowded on the week
end, from end to end of the island,
and many rooms in private homes
were taken. Eating places and
firms catering to sportsfishermen
did rushing business.
With three boats operating
steadily across Oregon Inlet, traf-
fic was handled without much de-
lay. A wait as long as two hours
resulted late Monday in the rush
when everyone was trying to GO
north at one time, and the waiting
list for the boat ran as high as
ITS at one time, but with the
boats taking away Is cars every
20 minutes, the situation cleared
up pretty well. Some % cars were
reported left behind on Sunday
night, but none on Monday night.
Now that word is abroad that
free ferries operate all the way
to Ocracoke, a terrific gain in
traffic may be expected to con-
tinue in the coming year.

ElNRO LLMENT GAIN
NOTED IN SCHOOLS
OF DARE COUNTY
Man+eo High Has $40 Students;
Cape Ha+feras 3I6; Kitty
:, Hawk l22; Wanehese
lis; Negro 70

While all pupils had not enrolled
on the first day of school Tues
day, the opening day showed a
gain in enrolment over last year
of II in Dare County. Largest
gain was 45 in the Manteo school,
due to new families moving to
town, and the transfer of ten stu
dents formerly taught at Manns
Harbor.
Total enrolment on opening
day this year was 1889. Last year
1,172. The Manteo school on Tues
day showed 214 high school stu
dents and 315 elementary.
Cape Hatteras school gained
nine students, with 236 elementary
students and 80 high school stu
dents. Kitty Hawks elementary
school had a loss of nine, with
122 elementary students on Tues
day. Wanchese lost IL; Its enroll
ment was lis. Manns Harbo1
school lost IA, it's enrolment was
10. Stumpy Point school lost two;
it's enrolment was 10.
The negro school at Manteo lost
1. Its total enrolment was 70, Of
which IL are in high school.
Total elementary students 1888
in high school, 306.
1t is to be expected that several
more students will enroll soon il
the schools. In fact, attendance
was larger on the second day Of
school. All students do not report
on the first day for various rea.
! sons. Newcomers do not always
make application promptly, as Law
now requires.
Some of the students of higl
school age in the north end of the
county go to school in other coun
ties, out of antagonism over the
consolidation of the Kitty Hawl
high school with Manteo. This
number proved sufficient to keel
Manteo school out of another
teacher, whose services would have
benefited all students.

NEGLECT SHOWN BY
OFFICIALS TOWARD
MOSQUITO CONTROL
Gluf Game When County Had
Most Visitors and No Spray
ing Carried On

Another example of the neglect
of Dare County officialdom for the
rights of its citizens occurred in the
lack of effort toward some sort
of mosquito control for which the
citizens pay taxes, but which failed
completely to materialize during
the worst mosquito glut in years
through the past two weeks, and
which most unfortunately occur
red during the Labor Day period
while our coastal area had the
largest number of visitors in his
tory.
The county has two Jogging
machines, and has received state
aid to operate them. Information
furnished this paper is that one
was left on Hatteras Island to be
operated when needed, by the
Deputy Sheriff. Hatteras Island
folks report it hasn't operated.
One or two instances of spray
ing have been reported in the up
per end of the county, but nothing
effective has been done. Reports
at Manteo indicate that Marvin
Mann, who was formerly in charge
of the mosquito Jogging machine
in the Manteo area, had been as
signed to the duties of looking
after three heating plants, namely
the Dare courthouse, the health
center and the community build
ing, and these duties made it nee
essary to employ at this season, of
all times, another man, who failed
to function, due to illness which
occurred at the outset of the mos
quito glut. No one else was found
to take his place.
AS it turned up, it was most
unfortunate and hurtful situation
at a critical time, when numerous
visitors were driven away by the
pests.

HAY FEVER RELIEF
ON DARE COAST
RAGWEED SCARCE
Kill Devil Hills Said TO Have
Nothing to Trouble Hay
Fever Sufferers

The hay fever season is on, and
it's runs from August Is to Sep
TENDER Both. Many people have
learned there is less ragweed pol
len on the Dare Coast than any
other place, and they come here
for relief. In fact, the Kill Devil
Hills area is said to be freest Of
all of this exasperating contribu-
tor to shifting.
According to the Geographic
Society, Puerto Rico and Alaska
are without this pollen but in the
continental United States, how
ever, seven or eight million victims
of hay fever will lay in a stock
of nose tissues and join the an
nual chorus of sneezing.
Each season, the villainous weed
sneaks some 100000 pounds of pol
len into the air. Not a single state
escapes the fallout, the Society
says.
A Formidable Foe
"Science has not yet found an
effective way to eradicate the
weed. Seeds may lie dormant for
20 years. The best way to fight
hay fever, many believe, is simply
get out of ragweed-infested zones.

TRAVEL GROUP ON
OUTER BANKS ON
LAST WEEK END
Plans For Promotion Discussed
During Meeting at Carolinian
at Mays Head

Headed by its president, Volt
Gilmore of Southern Pines, the
Travel Council of North Carolina,
Inc, held it's late summer meeting
at The Carolinian on Mays Head
Friday and then toured the Outer
Banks on Saturday.
The group visited Coquina Beach
on Bodie Island, the museum of
the Sea at Cape Hatteras light
house, rode the toll-free, state
operated ferry Governor Umstead
across Hatteras Inlet and then
proceeded to Ocracoke village.
Arrangements had been made
by the Rondthalers of Ocracoke to
have members of the islands Civic
Club meet the group at the Inlet
for the island visit over the new
Ocracoke paved road. On the is
land the group was entertained at
luncheon by Sam Jones of Nor
folk at his fabulous Berkeley
Manor.
Attending the Travel Council
meeting in addition to the organi-
zation's vice presidents, Mrs. En-
NETT Winslow of Mays Head, T.
E. Pickard Jr., Charlotte and
Beekman Huger, Canton, were del
egates from as far away as Ashe-
vile, Fontana and Winston Salem.
On Fridy afternoon in the
hotels Cypress Room civic leaders
of Dare County met with the
group to hear various discussions
on the organizations plans for
promoting the travel industry of
the State. Speakers on the pro-
gram included: Bob Garvuy of Old

DISTRESS VOICED
AS LOST COLONY
SHOWS DECLINE
Attendance Drops Despite Unpre-
eedenfed Number Of Summer
Visitors to Area

Unless something is done soon,
and in big way, the Lost Colony
will be lost to Roanoke Island
people. It's on the skids. In the
face of the greatest number of
people ever in Dare County during
a season, its attendance fell to a
new low. 1t lacked income to pay
out in proper shape. It took in
some $4,000 less than last year.
The attendance this season,
which closed Sunday night with
I'll persons present, totalled only
36,142, drop of 6,O59 under last
seasons attendance. Due to rising
costs of operation, the show needs
sharp gain in attendance, or
more gate receipts from year to
year to year in order to forge
ahead. 1t deserves an attendance
of $4,000. It should never have
less than $4,000 in order to keep
on top.
The situation is giving grave
concern to people of the Roanoke
Island area, where income has fall
en- off sharply in private homes
which have prepared for accommo-
dating tourists. The decline of the
Lost Colony is of grave economic
Importance on the whole island
and particularly in Manteo, whose
businessmen do not share directly
in the great influx of visitors to
the beaches and the lower banks,
these visitors being here primarily
for recreation or for fishing.
The Lost Colony is the only i'm
mediate money-maker for Roanoke
Island which has no industries.
For some years it has lacked suf-
ficiently intensive promotion. 1t
has lacked publicity,-the kind es-
sential to it's success, and which
of necessity must be beamed to the
people who are natural patrons of
show of this kind. Many pepole
who have seen it, say the show
has been cheapened and made less
interesting by changes that have
been made in the interest of econo-
my during the past several sea-
sons, and by lack of direction,
more apparent since Sam Selden
left. The choir too, is considered to
compare unfavorably with the
Westminster College choir from
New Jersey which served the
show for so many years.
Despite the loss sustained by
Lost Colony, other outdoor shows,
NAMELY the Cherokee show, "Unto
These Hills" and the pageants at
jamestown and Williamsburg,
which latter two, were also writ
ten by Paul Green, have shown a
great and profitable growth.
The directors of the Lost Col
ony, who other than an occasional
meeting, have never manifested
too much activity or interest in it's
behalf, have a first class task now
cut out for them. The show suffer-
ed for many years by being made
vehicle for politics and profits.
It was loaded up with un-needed
help to make jobs. Some of its di-
rectors were largely concerned
with finding jobs for their rela-
tives and became vicious and bitter
toward the manager or others who
opposed such policy. The show is
too valuable and too helpful in
many ways to be allowed to go
to seed. It's going to have to bring
in some high priced, experienced
and capable talent if it ever hopes
to get out of the doldrums and
worse, for which it is now headed.
Manager Dick Jordan reports
this week that steps have already
