BIG BOAT RAGING
EVENT IN MANTEO
ON MAY rs and 26

Next big event scheduled for the
Dare Coast will be the American
Power Boat Sanctioned Regatta in
Manteo Harbor on Saturday and
Sunday, May 1926. Sponsored by
the Dare Power Boat Association
of Manteo, this event will feature
outboard races on Saturday follow
ed by fast inboard classics on Sun
day afternoon, it was stated here
today by DIR. w. w. Harvey, who
has charge of the publicity for the
coming event.
The races follow by exactly one
month the Dare Coast Pirates
Jarnboree.
Because we can expect more
favorable weather than usually
prevails in late April, we expect to
have the biggest races in the his
tory of our annual regattas," said
DR.. Harvey.
Real reason, however, that the
races were postponed, is that May
25-26 are the only dates open this
Spring when it was possible to get
APBA-sanctionship. without this
national organization, it is diff
cult to get boats from wide area,
as we expect this year," DR.. Har-
vey explained.
Tentatively scheduled for the
regatta are Is classes OF fast
boats. These include for the Sat
urday outboard races: A-B-C-D
Stock Utility craft and A-B-C-D
Stock Hydroplanes. The first heat
ON Saturday begins at 1920 o'clock
and the final heat will be at 5:2O'
There will be special Elimination
Races between II and II noon on
Saturday.
On Sunday, reven classes OF m
boards will include 48 GU. in. n.y.

NEW HOME AGENT
EMPLOYED TUESDAY,
BY DARE CO. BOARD

The Dare County Board of Com.
missioners voted on Tuesday tc
employ Miss FRANCHISE Alexander
of Roper as county home agent,
beginning June 1, to fill the posi-
ton that has been vacant for near
ly a year. Miss Alexander was
recommended by County Agent
Robert Smith and by Miss Florence
Cox of Raleigh, district home
agent. The board also granted a
request that she be allowed to take
one weeks training with the home
agent of Currituck County.
In response to a complaint, the
board voted to ask Representative
R. Bruce Etheridge to have the
present law prohibiting cars,
trucks, and jeeps on the back of
the beach from Oregon Inlet to-
Southern Shorse amended so as not
to apply to the vehicles of COM
mercial fishermen who are in pur-
suit of their vocation, provided the
fishermen remove any debris, scrap
fish or any other matter which
they cause to be strewn on the
beach.
z. Russell Perry of Nags Head
was named member of the Dare
County A.B.C. Board to fill the
un-expired term of C. E. Parker,
who resigned.
The board decided to sit as a
Board of Equalization and Review
on May 81 and %.
Melvin R. Daniels, clerk to the
board, was instructed to write Col.
H. c. Rowland Jr., district engi-
neer, U. S. Corps of Engineers, to
inform him that the date of May
I28 set for hearings on hurricane
problems would conflict with the
spring term of Dare County Su-
perior Court and that the meeting
would have to be held in the COM
munity building instead of the
courthouse as planned.
In other action, the board went
on record in favor of anything
that could be done to improve gar.
bage disposal and the cleaning uI
of streets and highways, voted tc
ask that the Wilson Ambrose Roac
at Manns Harbor be placed on the
state highway system, instructed
that the State Highway Commits
sion be written to determine wha
had been done about placing OF
the state system the road at Hat
teras leading to the home of Adol

FUNDS DENIED TO
BEGIN PROGRAM OF
FLOOD INSURANCE
Rep. Bonner Expresses Renewed
Hope However for Amendment
Authorizing $I4 Million

Washington, May 3.-The pro-
posed federal flood disaster insur-
ance program suffered a major
setback last Friday when the
House Appropriations COMMITTEES
denied funds for the new program
The committee accepted the rec
concentrations of the Indepedent
Offices Appropriation subcommit-
tee headed by Rep. Albert Thomas
(D-Texas) in denying the $50 mil
lion requested to start the program
authorized by Congress last year.
An amendment, offered by Rep
Edward P. Boland (D-Mass.) to
provide $14 million for the pro-
gram, also was voted down by the
full committee. The two North
Carolinians on the committee
Reps. Hugh Q. Alexander and
Charles R. Jonas, voted fro Bo-
lands amendment, which was re-
jected 1914.
Reps. Herbert C. Bonner and
Graham A. Barden, staunch sup
porters of the program, voiced dis
appointment at the committee s
action. Both expressed the opinion
at that time that the only hope OF
launching the program this year
was through Senate action.
The two Congressman, together
with Reps. Alton A. Lennon and L.
H. Fountain, earlier testified be-
fore the Thomas subcommittee on
the need for flood disaster insur-
ance and urged that funds be pro-
vided for the program.
Renewed Hope
Rep. Bonner expressed renewed
hope Monday after conferring with
several members of the House Ap-
preparations Committee and other
