DIR. HUBERT M. PoTEAT

From and Observer)
In the death of Dr. Hubert M Poteat for A years Pro-
of Latin Wake Forest College North Carolina has
of it's most talented and versatile citizens well
one of its most successful and inspiring teachers.
Although he could have had brilliant career in
fields Poteat gave serious consideration
entering any vocation except teaching At the time of his
death he widely regarded one OF the foremost living
authorities Cicero and Pliny.
To Hubert Poteat Latin not useless, dead Ian
guage but subject, the knowledge of which basic
requisite for truly educated He made his classes live
comment item in the morning paper But while many
students took his because of the mans vibrant
sonaly the popularity of Latin at Wake Forest not
due to idea that the subject which to
obtain passing grade Hubert Poteats contempt for
thing shoddy extended to the examination papers submit
ted to him.
At one time Dr. Poteat was ranked among the 10 top
than fraction of his time music and only part of that
fraction to the pipe organ He also widely known as
singer and composer.
He found time for activity in several fraternal organ
cations and served Imperial Poenate of the North
American Shrine and held high offices in other organiza
tons.
All of these activities however were secondary to his
teaching His preference for small college based
the intimate personal relationships between teacher and
pupil which possible in such institution In his case
such contact resulted in his leaving deep imprint upon
hundreds of students He also widely known
teacher of teachers He served for many the
faculty of the school of Columbia University from
which he received his Pho degree after graduating at
Forest where his father the late William Louis Poteat was
President for % years The younger Poteat refused
offers to teach at large universities.

ing which characterized Hubert Poea and other members
of his family

GOOD WORDS FOR GOOD DEEDS.

In these days when the odtme hospitality which made
the coastand famous among visitors has gradually declined
with the tempo of modern living and the rapid increase in
numbers of visitors it is heartenng to hear praise for one
of communities such written us by Navy man
who recently did stint in Stumpy Point Dare County and
who has been assigned to Norfolk.
This tells how the people of stumpy Point received
him and Is other Navy when they first came to
the village, and how his departure they gave him
farewell party
Now the people of Stumpy Point have always been hos
pabe and thought little of these incidents which have
always been matter of habit with them But those of
get about say that this sort of thing what does
section good than tons of mmeo telling the
world how many people come here big our fish may be-
Boys like these ones, far from home, some of them
young fellows be mite homesck Thus they never
forget the good words and deeds of stranger More than
the tourist who annually heads out in the world to
places does the young man who may be away from
home for the first time closely observe and more
deeply appreciate these little things that cost nothing
These young going out from our communities are
great advertisers They ambassadors of good will They
go the nation and the world in the service of
country and they tell others throughout their lives
what wonderful people they found at small community
the North Carolina coast In years to this thing
prove nestimabe worth because of other
people whose interest and imagination will be aroused there
by and who will also to look upon such friendly people
have been described to them.

OTHER EDITORS
JUST CAN'T LOVE HER
1--WE The People,

Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt
seems determined not to allow the
Southern people to either love Oh
respect her. Some of the things
she says about the South cause
people in this section to lose re.
spect for her judgment. There are
many things about which this wei
informed woman is ignorant, Sc
poorly informed that she does moi
realize that statement she makes
is completely at variance with the
facts.
During the coursei of the civil
rights debate in Congress she
wrote an article in the Washington
Daily News which was headed;
SOUTHERN JURIES WILL IG-
MORE NEGRO RIGHTS" A part
of the article said:
''The whole point of the south
erner's fight for the jury trial
amendment is that they know a
white jury will not give Negroes
the right to vote. This is just
a way of escaping from having
to face the quite different prob
lem of coming out against that
right of Negroes to vote, which
is the right of every American
citizen"
We wish we could believe that
Mrs. Roosevelt did not write this,
but it sounds too much like her
irrational and prejudiced state
ments about the South to believe
she has been misquoted. The kind
est thing one can say about that
statement is that she was mis-
taken. The truth about it is that
she falsified the facts, perhaps due
to her complete ignorance of the
South.
We do not like to believe that
any one would do SO deliberately.
But, the statement is false.

NAVY MAN HAS PRAISE
I FOR STUMPY POINT FOLK

To The Editor:
/ would like to pass on good
word to many good friends at
Stumpy Point during my recent
stay there with the Navy unit. The
people are very kind to people
coming into their small but nice
village. 1t was the best place ]
have ever been stationed. l never
thought it would be so easy to
make friends so readily anywhere
in new place.
didn't know all the people by
name, but they knew me as if /
had lived there all my life. The
boys and girls who came to the
Teen-Age Club were really nice to
know and associate with. l regret
/ had to leave so soon. And / wish
now to thank all for the very nice
farewell party given me, and those
who came to it. l expect to return
before long. May God bless you.

SUGGESTS TO HYDE COUNTY
VALUE OF HOMECOMING

AS Hyde County native | have
a warm spot in my heart for the
people of Hyde and love to return
whenever possible. However ]
1on't see many of my boyhood
friends when / go down. Like my
self, many of them have left the
County. For sometime now, ! have
wished that some group would
sponsor a homecoming event and
invite all former residents of the
County.
The enclosed column from the
Greensboro Daily News tells of a
similar event sponsored by the
people of Rocky Mount. Perhaps
Hyde may have a prodigal son
who can reminisce as interestingly
as Pete Ivey.
Does anyone else think a home
coming event would be a good
idea?

EDITORS Note) Thanks to Mr..
Benson for sending this column we
commend it to our readers. 1t is
elsewhere in today's paper. We
agree with Mr.. Benson that there's
nothing quite so fine as Homecom-
ing, as. Dare County can well bear
witness, for its splendid modern
progress dates from a great home
coming held on Roanoke Island for
a week in 1926.

counted for approximately $40 of
all deaths from all causes in the
United States in 1856, the latest
year for which figures are now

Twenty-nine percent of the total
number of victims, or nearly 240,-

AREA MEN ARE ELECTED
BY STATES FISHERIES
ASSN. LAST THURSDAY

Representatives, of the States
commercial fishing industry gath
cred at New Bern last Thursday
night for the annual membership
meeting of the North Carolina
Fisheries Association. At the bus
mess session following the dinner
the following directors were elect
ed by the membership in the six
areas and fishery classifcations;
Clyde Potter of Belhaven, Lewis
Hardee of Southport, Lonnie Ever
EFT of Sneads Ferry, w. H. Potte'
Of Morehead City, John, Waff OF
Edenton, Earl H. Holton of Vande-
mere, George Wallace of Morehead
City, Clayton Fulcher, Jr. of At
lantic, and T. B. Smith of Davis
w. A. Ellison, Jr. of Belhaven, now
on a special government project in
Formosa, was one of three direc-
tors at large named.
Dick O'Neal of New Holland was
chosen by the new directors as
new vice-president of the associa-
ton. Other officers named were:
Roy Watson of Hobucken, presi-
lent; John Rodman> of Washing
ton, attorney; and Fred Whitaker
of Kinston, executive secretary.
At the dinner preceding the bus
mess meeting, Colonel Henry C
Rowland, Jr., district engineer of
The Corps of Engineers Whining
ton District, gave the gathering a
frank discussion of the waterways
projects of North Carolina and the
effect of the current national fisca,
policy upon them.
Colonel Rowland characterized
The Corps and the NCFA as part
ners in a joint venture striving for
The development of the waterways
Of the State. He complimented the
association for the thoroughness of
it's preparation of projects in pre-
senting them to the Corps of En-
gineers, including the Ocracoke In
let project, for which $4,000 has
been made available by Congress
for its survey.
Colonel Rowland cautioned the
group that civil public works pro-
grams would have to get along on
a minimum of funds, particularly
in the fiscal year ending June 80,
and that no "new starts" could be
expected, although work toward
new goals need not be relaxed. He
attributed the slowing of the civil
works to the military "crash" pro-
grams now getting priority in fed
eral spending.
The district engineer held out
hope to the commercial fishing in
dustry for relief in the unstable
inlets of the State in the construc-
ton of a small overheard dis
charge suction dredge which is ex-
pected to be in operation in our
waters in 1859. Col. Rowland said
that the results expected from the
new dredge might we'll be scien-
tific and economic breakthrough in
the dredging industry. He cited
Oregon Inlet and Masonboro Inlet
as two for which the special dredge
is needed for their completion.

Of these projects, it will be seen
that nearly a third of the $217, 900

poured out on the road that leads
to Chairman Duvall's store, valued

stock of merchandise not listed at

1t will be seen that $4,000 is to

But nothing is to be spent in
Hatteras township, nor in Croatan

Head township, outside of Roanoke
Island, and a mere sop of $4,000
is to be thrown out to Avon in
Kinnekeet Township in hope of
getting the Avon vote for Com
missioner Newcomb Midget this
year. 1t is important to keep on
the Board any man who knows
nothing about the job, and agrees
to everything the group wants.
Maybe Mr.. Duvall thinks he will
get bounced off this board this
year, and most likely he will il

such a costly road; nor any othel

anywhere at all. But then Mr.
Duvall is on their pension list
staying there for protection in tai
matters by reason of his power a

Forty three died in the latter period against ~
in the former period and think the state is indebted to
the effectiveness of this campaign which herewith speaks
for its planning and management
It appears that strict driver examinations and
some other contributing to this welcome I'M
whereby the slaughter on our highways is beng
