Thus went little ditty written
back in the days of bowls and
pitchers and kerosene lamp light at
old Mays Head by John B. Brock
EFT, of Elizabeth City, when he had
charge of the old hotel there
which stood at the waters edge on
the Sound Side in the summer of
1892.
In those days there was no such
place in North Carolina as the
Dare County of today, and the
beach now so thickly built up all
the way from Kitty Hawk to Ore
gon Inlet was so remote from the
nearest towns and cities on the
mainland that it was referred to
in old deed books prior to 1871, as
place called Mays Head,
lying in and being situated on the
southeast sand banks of Currituck
County,"
Choice building lots could be
mad almost for the asking; you
could buy a vast tract of land
with a sweep from sound to sea
for as little as 1917 cents an acre.
Only few families from Eliza
beth City, Hartford and Edenton
spent the summers there in an
isolation almost as complete as if
they were vacationing on the
planet Mars. There was only SEEM
ingly limitless stretches of barren
sand and wind-tossed waters and
but few signs of human habitation
visible.
1t was along about 1880 that DR..
Samuel Mathews, prosperous
Elizabeth City physician, had a
rambling structure some 100 feet
long and two and half stories
high built at the foot of one of the
big sand dunes near the shore of
Roanoke Sound. 1t was located on
a 75-acre tract and had ten out
buildings scattered around it, in
Guiding an ice house. This was
Mays Heads first hotel.
The chief drawback to visiting
Mays Head in those days was the
extreme difficulty of reaching it.
Slow-moving sailing packets were
the only mode of conveyance and
the ocean front could be reached
only after a. firing two-mile hike
through deep sand.
Families who came to Mays
Head to spend the summers usual
ly arrived early in June and stay
ed until the first signs of Septem-
Der storms began to appear. Most
of them more or less "camped
out" in rude and makeshift shacks.
No one cared much about how
their cottages looked and often
they We're built largely with scrap
lumber and driftwood.
Life at Mays Head in those days
was simple, wholesome and mono
tonous. People took their time and
enjoyed long walks through the
sand and over the hills between
the sound shore and the ocean.
Long summer days were pune
tuated by hikes back through the
thickly-wooded sand dunes to the
Fresh Pond or for miles along
the lonely and wave-swept beach.
In time the unique way of rest
and relaxation at Mays Head be-

NEW YORK. Sept. 81 R.--
An ofiicial Of Americans for
Democratic Action said today
the Little Rock school situation
has drifted ito the brink OF
disaster" and that President
Eisenhower is largely to blame.
ADA National Chairman
Robert r. Nathan said the
severity Of the indignation
problem can be attributed to
the weakness and inaction of
a President who either did not
understand what was happen
ing or could not bring himself
to act"
Mr.. Nathan's speech for
ADA's New York State conven-
ton was prepared before Gov.
Orval E. Faubus removed Ar
kansas National Guardsmen
from around Central High
School in Little Rock.
Mr.. Nathan devoted much Of
his speech to criticizing Mr..
EiSenhower's role in the Little
Rock situation.
The ADA official suggested
several steps the President
might take concerning integra-
ton. These included taking a
strong position ''foresquare
behind the decisions of the Fed
eral Courts" trying to rebuild
bridges Of communication be-
tween Negroes and whites by
calling together responsible
leaders Of both races, and In

white. else the disorder and
violence which has so far been
prevented will occur.
1T is inconceivable to me
that the parents Of the Negro
children who have already been
enrolled at Central High School
by Supt. Virgil Blossom would
want their children in the
school now in the situation that
prevails. ! hope that the
NAACP who instigated, spon-
sored and urged this move will
not be so reckless as to push
the matter of entering the
schools until a cooling on
period has elapsed.
THE right Of Negroes to en-
ter white schools has been de-
clared by the Federal court.
Even though millions of people
are in disagreement, the United
States Supreme Court made the
ruling. If by their own volition
the Negroes would refrain from
seizing upon that right until
such time as there Is assurance
that it can be accomplished in
a peaceful manner as it has
been in other sections of the
State it would be an act Of
prudence and good judgment
that would be applauded by Q

Injunction Is Granted
Judge Davies recessed court
for 20 minutes and at about
$3.50 pm. tEDT) read a brief
decision in which he granted
the Federal Governments Pc
tition for an Injunction.
The walkout Of Gov. Faubus'
attorneys surprised court off,
cials and lawyers. Donald B.
MacG uineas Of Bethesda. JUS
tice Department representative
In the case, said, "It's an ex-
traordinary maneuver for a
counsel to remove himself right
in the middle Of q case"
The fact that Gov. Faubus'
attorneys walked out did not
prevent the Governor from
tartly charging that he was de-
prived Of his legal rights.
Coy. Faubus promptly an
nounced his intention to APP
peal the order. In his televised
address. he said. II have in
strvcted my attorney to ex-
haust every legal remedy"
Procedure Not Decided
One Of his attorneys. Kay
Matthews, said the exact pro-
cedure is not yet decided but
that the appeal probably will
be directed to the Eighth Cir
cult Court Of Appeals in ST..
Louis.
That Is the consensus among
legal authorities here.
However, they said. It might
be possible. under q rarely used
method, for Gov. Faubus to
60 directly to the United States
Supreme Court. They said
they believe he could approach
a single Supreme Court Jus
tice, who. on his own motion,
might grant q temporary
suspension Of Judge Davies
Injunction.
Does the Injunction have any
force-must Gov. Faubus obey
it-while an appeal Is pending?
Lawyers here said yes" to
that.
However. they said, Gov.
Faubus might be granted a
quick hearing in the Eighth
Circuit Court on a motion to
suspend Judge Davies injunc-
ton until they can present ar
guments.
Statement by Governor
In a statement issued while
the trial was still going on,
Gov. Faubus said:
Now begins the cruciflxion.
There will be no croSs-exami-
nation. no evidence for the
other side; so now, by the use
Of carefully selected witnesses
the Justice Department case
will be presented with the re-
suits a foregone conclusion"
Gov. Faubus' announcement
Of withdrawal of the Guards
men was almost parenthetical:
Insists Peace Was Aim
It came in this paragraph:
Il have tried to follow a
course that would preserve and
maintain peace and order in
Little Rock and in the State.
The calling out Of the Guard
and every order given to its
commander was designed to
achieve that purpose. Now
that a Federal Court. however,
has chosen to substitute its
judgment for mine as to how
peace and order should be
preserved. I must temporarily,
at least abide. and therefore /
have issued orders that all
units Of the Arkansas National
Guard stationed at the high
school in Little Rock be with
drawn as soon as that can be
accomplished. They are now
gone, or they are moving from
