BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

They're shooting for a record
1900 teams N the National
Duckpin Congress tournament
opening March 23 at Bladens-

reached depends on the Wash

When the tournament last was
held in this area, at Colonial

beaten two years later when
Pawtucket, r. l.. was the host,

What chance have We" ask

They don't shoot against the
best. They compete in the
booster" division, the stars in
the championship class.
Even the booster division is
split up to equalize competition.
In the mems regular booste {"
class. only teams averaging $50
to 526 are eligible. Those with
SIS and under roll in the "B
booster" class.
The arrangements for women
are comparable. with the limits
500 to 46l and 460 and under.
In mixed teams, it's SIS to Sill

Thus, opportunity is provided
for bowlers of all degrees Of

HISTORY OF ENGELHARD

By R. S. Spencer Jr.

picnics, and oyster roasts. The
people ground their corn and flour
by windmills.
During the Civil War, the Yam
KEGS attacked close to Far Creek,
often but never came directly into
the village except once when they
raided the Spencer home. Mr.. Spen-
Ger was very sick and very near
death. The Yankees took a sheet
and made ghost out of it. They
suspended it between two horses
and rode out into the fields where
the slaves were picking cotton.
The slaves ran in all directions
screaming because they thought
Mr.. Spencer had died and this was
his ghost coming back to haunt
them.
There were five or six stores in
Far Creek about 1865. A sign
over the door of one of them said
"Fish and Whiskey." All of the
first stores sold whiskey and con-
tinued to do so until the Metho-
dist Church was established here.
The stores had to stop then be-
cause the law said that no whiskey
could be sold within two miles of
a church.
One night in 1883, yacht
owned by August Belmont pulled
into Far Greek harbor. Mr.. Bel
mont was multi-millionaire from
Woodbury., New Jersey, who man.
ufactured August Flower, patent
medicine. A severe winter storm
was raging, and the water was
frozen over so that the ships
could not get closer than a mile
and a half to Engelhard. The cap
tain had lost his mind during the
journey and had threatened to
kill the crew. The crew slipped
off the yacht, and by listening tc
the ROSTERS crow, picked theil
way to Engelhard. The crew came
into Mr.. Arson Gibbs store anC
told their story. 1. B. Watson Sr
brought them to his house where
he fed them and the next day
transported them where they coulc
get law officers to overcome the
crazed captain.
Engelhard had the first schoo
in Hyde County built with county
funds. 1t was built in 1884. Tn,
school had new books, desks, ant
charts. The canals used to freez'
over and the children would skat'
to school.

TOLL FREE FERRIES
REWARD EFFORTS
OF OCRACOKERS

Toll-free ferry service from
Hatteras to Ocracoke Island on
the picturesque Outer Banks was
announced Tuesday by the State
Highway Commission.
The Commission said it has
purchased the franchise rights and
the toll ferry of Frasier L. Peele
of Hatteras, who provided ferry
service across Hatteras Inlet for
a number of years.
1t was previously reported the
consideration was $4,000 plus a
captains job for Mr.. Peele.
Included in the transaction was
the right for the State to use
Peele's docking facilities until ade-
quate docking facilities and an
access road can be constructed.
Docking facilities are now being
built on each side of the inlet.
The State put one of its ferries
on the run, on a toll-free basis,
around a month ago when Peele's
ferry broke down.
A proposal was made two weeks
ago to return to tolls, but the
fight made by citizens directly to
the Governor brought forth his
announcement that tolls were out.
Chief Engineer w. H. Rogers
Jr. said construction work is "pro-
ceeding rapidly on a half-mile
road south of Hatteras Village to
new docking facility to be built
at Austin Creek" Rogers esti-
mated the road would be ready for
travel in about a month. Contracts
will be let let this month for
dredging a channel and basin at
the Hatteras Island docking site.
Construction work on cluster piles
at the Ocracoke ferry landing be-
gan Monday morning.
Rogers said each of the projects
now underway should be COM
pleted this fall.
The Commission said there will
be four. daily departures from each
terminus. The Hatteras schedule
is z am, 10 am, 1890 pm. and
$3.50 PM, and the Ocracoke de-
partures are at am, II am,
1:30 pm. and 4:30 pm.
Rogers announced that permits
sible load limits for vehicles using
the ferry will be $4,000 lbs. for
any axle. 10000 lbs, for two
axles, and 10000 lbs. for three or
more axles.

HYDE SCHOOL SUIT
WAGES THIS WEEK
IN SWAN QUARTER
Town is Thronged With Largest
Crowd Of Spectators
in Years.

The Hyde county seat town of
Swan Quarter this week is throng-
ed with the biggest crowd of spec
tators known in a quarter of a
century, to hear the evidence in a
case which parents of some Sd En-
gelhard school pupils, have
brought against the Hyde County
Board of Education.
In this suit the citizens of En-
gelhard seek to retain their high
school which they allege is being
taken away from them by high
handed, unfair and unlawful meth
DDS employed by two members OF
the Board of Education, namely,
Gratz Spencer and Crawford Co
hoon, aided and abetted by Tommy
Gaylord, Supt. of Schools.
In the testimony of their main
witness Tuesday afternoon, they
brought out evidence of this kind
from Walter Lee Gibbs, the third
member of the Board who lives
near Engelhard and who had dis
sented from the beginning in the
efforts of his colleagues to move
the Engelhard pupils to Swan
Quarter.

that the Board of Education un-

Archie Daniels, a native of Man

boundless energy and enthusiasm,
who was recently appointed Coun-
ty Manager of Rockingham Coun-
ty, after getting the post of We'll
fare Superintendent, is the subject
in part, of a vigorous editorial in
the local newspaper. One of our
readers has sent us a copy of this
editorial which is rank against Sc
cret meetings. Knowing our read
ers are always interested in things
affecting our native sons, we re-
print portions of. this editorial,
which also pays some tribute to
Mr.. Daniels ability as vote-get-
ter and political manipulation.
Rockingham county, stands on
the brink of making dubious
history" the editorial says. "This
is best described by two words,
namely, SECRET MEETINGS"
It. complains that the local high
schools name was changed in a
secret meeting; that the county
budget was made up behind closed
doors, and "Archie S. Daniels, for
mer Draper Mayor and County
Welfare Director was appointed
county manager in a secret meet

Commissioners, minus Commission

sions where =. members let
down their hair SO to speak, and
clear the air so that a definite pol
icy of action may be established.
"But the desire to keep the peo-
pie in the dark, as remote as it
may be from the minds of most
public officials, is slowly finding
its way into the thinking of those

JUNK AND CATTLE NOW
LEAVE ISLAND BY TRUCK

Ocracoke, Sept. 9th.-With the
State-operated free ferry in serv-
ice at Hatteras Inlet, something
new is happening at Ocracoke Is
land-cattle and old cars are being
transported off the Island by
truck. Formerly such transporta-
ton had to be by freight boat to
Washington, N. C. This required
the arduous task of rounding up
the cattle, or the junk, getting it
by truck to the freight boat dock
here, then came the long, hot,
eight-hour trip across the Sound
and up the Pamlico River (This
didn't bother the junk, but made
the cattle uncomfortable, then by
truck to final destination. Lots
of loading and unloading.
During the past month, cattle
have been rounded up in the area
where they Craze north of the viii
lage, loaded on the trucks there,
and taken directly north to Nor
folk. Men in jeeps, boys riding
Banker ponies, and recently bull
dogs have aided in the roundup.
Several hundred cattle have been
'deported; about sixty to eighty
remain now. Deadline for the re-
moval of the cattle, sheep, and
goats, under 1867 N. C. legisla-
ton, is July 1, 1858, but with all
this area now a part of the Cape
Hatteras National Seashore Park,
removal Of the stock is being ex-
pedited.
Prior to World War III, when
junk was in demand, a cleanup
on the island was made and it was
shipped over to Washington, N. C..
Since then, however, good many
more cars and trucks have been
brought to the island; salt water
and salt air have deteriorated
them quickly and old chassis and
rusted motors have been left most
anywhere, particularly out on the
beach, eyesores for many day
until the blowing sands converted
them into dunes. Last week, as
many as six large truckloads of
Junk We're hauled northward over
the new road and via Hatteras
Inlet ferry to Norfolk. So a new
day dawns in the salvage business
on Ocracoke Island.

lamity. They got back home that
night through the courtesy of a
citizen of the Cape. They went
back again on Labor day to re-
sumo their fishing, and to see
about the car. When they got back
to Oregon Inlet, their car. was
number 100 or more, which re-

hours to get boat. But the girls
