BELHAVEN- HYDE
GRAIN ELEVATOR
TO COST $500. 600
Proposed Project For Three Coun-
ties Would Handle 500. 900
Bushels Of Grain

There is much interest in Hyde
County and eastern Beaufort about
the proposed ,OOO-bushel grain
elevator to be located in Belhaven,
and which will cost better than a
half million dollars. Its proposed
location on the Belhaven water
front would give access to water
as well ass rail transportation,
would offer a market for grain
raised in one of the states great
est producing areas. 1t would serve
Hyde, eastern Beaufort, and Wash
ington Counties.
At a meeting held in Washing
ton last week, by the Beaufort
County Grain Committee, in the
office of the County Agent, it was
agreed that Belhaven offered a
most choice location ain that the
Hyde area and the Pungo River
basin would be best served at that
point. Paul Waters is chairman of
the committee.
Since an equally favorable site
is available at Washington, so far
as rail and water access is concern
ed, it will depend largely on the
response that comes from
the Belhaven area, if the elevator
will be built here. From 25 to so
per cent of the cost of the elevator
will probably have to be subscribed
locally.

REDSKINS HAVE BAD WEEK;
BOYS LOSE LIST PLAYOFF GAME

The Manteo basketball teams
came up with a bad week in the
last week of their seasons play.
Last Friday night was the cru
cial game for the Manteo girls as
they were tied with Central for
first place. The loser would drop
out of first place because both
teams had lost only one game. The
game was played under tremendous
pressure with this in mind. The
Central girls took the lead early
in the game and won in a heart
breaker for the Manteo fans 49-45.
Central was tied by Manteo sew
eral times but Manteo could not
seem to get enough lead to keep
them out front. All three forwards,
Mabel Jean Basnight, Jean Sears
and Helen Baum played a good
game, probably one of their best
this year, but just couldn't come
through.
The Manteo boys, who don't have
very impressive record this year
played their usual style of ball, as
they lost to the, Central boys 49,
"A. Coy Tillett led the scoring for
Manteo as he hit 20 points.
In a preliminary game Friday
night, the Manteo Junior Varsity
defeated the Manteo Little Leag-
uers 1873.
The first games of the Abe
marie Rural Conference tourna-
ment were held at the Elizabeth
City gymnasium on Wednesday
night of this week. In the second
game the Manteo boys lost in
thriller to Weeksville 44-43.
Coach Fry has had difficulty all
year in getting his best boys to-
gether. He lost Major Curles of
Kitty Hawk after the last scholas-
tic report and has been unable to
use Hughes Tillett all year. The
addition at last of these boys to
the squad for the tournament game
was big boost to the moral of
the Manteo fans. At game time,
however, there was question as
to their eligibility and they were
not able to play the first half. They
were used in the second half, but
could not get into step with the
rest of the team and so were not
big help in the game Wednesday.
Coy Tillett was the sparkplug of
