out, the candidates are not party.
sponsored and in that sense this
is non-partisan election. We
shall be very grateful for an op-
portunity, through your columns,
to clarity our position.
1t is the policy of the League
never to support or oppose any
candidate for any public office,
and those women currently hold
ing positions of leadership in the
League are required to refrain
from active work in the cam
paign. However, all other League
members, including former Off.
GERS, are urged to work for the
candidates of their choice. Some
are themselves candidates for Of
flee under the label of both par
ties and some are candidates for
School Board; however, knowing
the League policy, none has
asked for or expected our sup
port. Many of our other members
are actively working in both par
ties as well as for School Board
candidates.
We hope this brief statement
clarifies our. position. If your
readers have further questions, ]
shall be very glad to have them
call me at VIII. 2-3574.

President, Montgomery

Women Voters.

The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1958-11-14

Dear Mr.. Editor:
About this time every year there
is "a great cutlery about nothing
to do to make any money. 1t seems
to get worse every year. People
who own lots on the beach don't
seem to be in a hurry to build,
and you know that is what a lot
of our people have been living on
for several years. 1t turns loose
money with carpenters, painters,
bricklayers, contractors and con-
crete men, and they spend money
with the stores and it all helps out.
Now many people who have a
little money and who are willing
to invest because they like to have
summer homes on our beach have
changed their mind about building.
They say there is too much un-
certainty and doubt; too much risk
that it will entice the county Off
Gals to raid them with high taxes.
Folks who come to our beach like
to know their property and family
are safe when they are gone, and
they complain because there is no
police protection and the county
employs only police officers with
neither experience, knowledge or
training, and consequently nothing
is done to stop the constant break
ms and continued loss of valuable
property.
We folks who need work to do,
hope something will be done to-
ward restoring the confidence of
investors in Dare County. Our
county officials have got to stop
hi-jacking 'em for unreasonable
taxes and wasting the money with
out providing reasonable police
protection. Our investors are tired
of seeing not enough competent
and reliable men holding office
who have got backbone and CUTS
to be fair, square and above-board.
They are tired of seeing the coun-
ty run by Indifferent men who
leave control up to one or two indi-
viduals who are ignorant, incom-.
petent, and consider nothing but
their own little selfish world. In
rtA y of properly attending to the
job they are elected for, they just
have to NEEDLE and mess up every
thing else but what they ought to

creed is "rule or ruin"
Now we find them weeping and
wailing, splitting their shirt to say
who will be chairman of the next
county board. Why should they be
so ALFRED anxious to dictate the

answer, they are afraid of an

afraid more people will find out

are afraid some of their gravy will

We know and feel assured that
nothing can stop the gentle hand
of progress" but since this part of
America is to become part of the
National Park Service, it will still
remain in it's infant form Except
for people) as it was several hun
dred years ago. Therefore if the
laws which are a part of progress
and result from increasing popu-
lation and the variety of minds in
our human element, do not become
too stringent, then, and then only
can we ever hope to retain any
part of that rich heritage with
which we are so bountifully sup
piled, that is nature without
change, freedom ans chance
to- stroll along the hunting
paths to enjoy the crisp No
vember days, free. A chance
to mediate, on the other
hand to reap the harvest of better
things and better economical liv-
ing, with the coming or advent of
perhaps several small businesses
and the ingress and egress of num-
erous people which will expand
over the years we would perhaps
wish for the National Park Serv-
ice.
Enter The WildfOwl
November brings along the wild
honkers, the black ducks, teal and
few other species, such as, the
American widgeon, or bald-pate,
the buffle-head, brant and others
that add spice to our days afield.
Along the surf can be seen people
casting for the Red-Drum, and as
we watch the excitement a young
lady in fishing togs reels in 30
or 40 pound drum. The sands
whipped up by the north winds,
like snow, sail along across the
beach, over the high water mark
and is deposited in the rolling sea.
As one rides along the beaches,
birds like the willett, goodwill, yell
I.low-leg and other varieties feed as
the sea rolls down. Along the
openings or draws on the sand
rills OF browsing on briar or bam-
boo. one can see cattle, which have
been part of this free country
for years. In the woods and high
marshes now, the wild horse is
also browsing on the briar leaves
and other flora.
A cotton-tail scampers across
the open spaces and the vision.
Wild domestic cats hunting birds
or field mice are occasionally seen
creeping slowly along, fat, shiny
and sleek in their winter coats.
A few sheep, the only remnants
of large flock, full of dirty wool,
having not been sheared in ages,
scamper in excitement across the
foot hills as the hunter rounds a
hill and jump shoots a dove. The
dog gets the dove, delivers it to
hand. The hunter pauses and
wonders what the changes of the
next few years viii really bring.
Along the reefs in the sound Wis
