of the land" Mr.. Dwight explained

MANTEO REDSKINS LOSE
FINAL GAME OF YEAR IN
MUD BATTLE WITH CAMDEN

The Manteo Redskins lost their
chance for a three-way first place
tie for the conference champion
ship last Friday as they lost to
the Camden Rebels TO.
It was raining as the game start
ed and continued to pour down
throughout most of the game. In
the second half the field was moth
ing but mud, and it was battle
just to hold on to the ball, much
less be able to go anywhere with
it. The game was played almost
entirely on defense, with first one
team fumbling and then the other.
Camden got the break that enabled
them to win with only 80 seconds
in the first half. Jeff
rey Midget went back to pass for
the Redskins deep in his own terri
tory and was covered by whole
host of Camden linemen, in trying
to wrench away from one tackler,
he lost the wet ball, which was
recovered by Camden on the Man
teo 7-yard line. Two passes, one
for the I'd and one for the extra
point, scored Camden's winning
points. This gave them undisputed
championship of the Tidewater
Athletic Conference. This loss put
Manteo in third place in final
standings, with Central second.
The game this week was sched-
uled for Edenton, but it has been
cancelled. Edenton is participating
in the state championship elimina-
lions and will have a play-off this
Friday night. Coach Ayers said
it was hoped at first to schedule
a game with some other team, but
after second consideration, he de-
clared that the football season for
the Redskins was over.
The Redskins ended their season
with a A record over all, and a
3-2 conference record. Manteo dur
ing the season chalked up wins
over Weeksville, 2, Windsor, and
'ElnoWGId on Su!soI :e!qmnIoO
Central, Hartford and Camden.

Manteo and Dickie Burrus and

FiATTERAS WOMEN
PAYING OFF BIG
CHURCH DEBT

The third, and they hope last,
structure of the Hatteras Metho-
dist Church will be paid for soon,
at the rate the W.S.C.S. circles are
working. The first service was
held in the new sanctuary March

ing program of just a year. The
educational building was completed
just prior to that.
These combined buildings replace
the old frame church that with
stood storms of hurricane force
for sc years. Tides Were even so
high in 1885 that the pews floated.
The original Methodist church
would have been about 80 years
old.
Resourceful villagers, aided and
led by their pastors, Rev. w. B.
Gregory, Rev. Dan Meadows and
Rev. Ray Sparrow have planned
and carried out an ambitious build
ing program surpassed by few with
such a small congregation.
In addition to the pledges made
toward the building program, the
different circles have several prof.
Gets, the most successful being the
handmade sun-bonnet dolls made
and sold entirely by Mrs. Charlotte
Balance, at her store in Hatteras
village. These have been so popular
with tourists that she always has
orders ahead. They are perfect in
each feature and are collectors
items, made in two sizes.
