Old Hunter
Gets Wish

During his lifetime, Ohio Cart
wright Ward had often told his
close associates, "When my time
comes to die, l would like to be in
the East Lake Woods hunting
deer"
Wednesday morning at 1870
o'clock, he got his wish and the
79-vaar-old native and lifelong
resident of Dare County fired at
and killed a buck while hunting on
Milltail Creek.
With him at the time was the
Rev. Louis A. Aitken, pastor of Mt.
Olivet Methodist Church in Man
20, who also fired at the deer and
was rowing toward shore to re-
trieve their kill.
CHANGING back into the boat, he
discovered that Ward, his hunting
companion, had died as the result
of a heart attack.

On June D, 1896, when Wanda
was only four, she was struck
down by spino- bulbar polio. Pa
ralySiS affected her limb muscles.
Worse, she couldn't breathe. Her
survival depended on an iron
lung, which was rushed to her
aid by the local chapter of the
March of Dimes organization. :.
Changes to Rocking Bed
Later, as her lung muscles
gained strength, she was gradu-
ated to a rocking bed, another
device to help her breathe. Still,
this kind of survival wasn't
enough--not in this day when
medicine and research have de-
vised new and advanced tech
niques to help the polio disabled
stage comeback to near-normal,
happier lives.
Through physical therapy in the
hospital and at home, Wanda's
leg muscles were re-educated to
function again. At first she needed
braces. Now she has tossed them
aside. She walks and runs again.
For Wanda and her family the
future now holds great promise.
Wanda is only one of thousands
of patients, children and adults,
who are making partial or COM
plete comebacks from Gripping
polio.
More Still Need Help
March of Dimes volunteers,
now engaged in the organizations
annual fund drive, will tell you
that many more remain to be
helped. The accent now, with the
great decline in new polio cases,
is to give these patients all pos

MANTEO BASKETBALL TEAMS
SCORE TRIPLE VICTORY
OVER MOYOCK FRIDAY

Manteo basketball teams scored
triple victory last Friday night
as the boys J.V. team, the girls
team and the boys team beat the
Moyock teams.
At 6:15, the Manteo J.V.'s, play
ing their first game of the year,
beat the Moyock J.V.'s in the final
minutes 1921. The game was close
all the way, Manteo having 1914
halftime lead; the score was tied
at 21-all with 8 minutes left to
play. Center Gus Etheridge led the
Manteo boys with Is points. Co
captain Miles Davis was second
with z points. The J.V. team will
play their next game this Satur-
day, January II, at the Mantec
gym. The visiting team will be
Buxton and game time will be 100
The Manteo girls took an early
lead over the Moyock girls and
never relinquished it, as they went
on. to win 1929. This was the
Manteo girls sixth straight win
Carol Perry was high scorer fol
the Redskins.
The Manteo boys got revenge
for their only loss of the season
as they downed the Moyock team
1896. The game was not close
until the final minutes. Manteo
had a 1890 lead, and then almost
lost it as Moyock scored 6 points
and Manteo none.
Weeksville Games
The Manteo- Weeksville games
were scheduled to be played at the
Manteo gym Tuesday night, but
were postponed until Wednesday
night, due to bad weather.
The Manteo girls, facing the
unbeaten Weeksville girls, lost
their first game of the year as
they literally threw the ball game
away. Continuous bad passes
walking, and inability to score
were just too much for the Man
teo team. They were behind 10-G
at the end of the first quarter and
never came closer than five points
for the rest of the game. Carol
Perry, usually the scoring star for
Manteo, scored only 6 points. San
dra Dowdy was high point leader
with 8 points. Final score was
Weeksville Al, Manteo %.
The Manteo boys reversed the
tables on the Weeksville boys how
ever, as they jumped to an earlier
14-8 lead and We're never caught
by the bulldogs. Hughes Tillett led
the home team, accounting for "a
points. Final score was Manteo Sd,
Weeksville, 81.
Manteo is host to unbeaten Sun
bury this Friday night in what
will be two top-notch games. Next
Tuesday the teams will be away
for their first game since the
Christmas holidays when they
travel to Griggs.

GOOD YEAR AHEAD

GOOD YEAR AHEAD J.. With
people smoking more cigarettes
than ever before in the history of
the nation and with reduced acre
age and an extremely short supply
in storage, there is genuine opti-
mism a mong tobacco-growers
throughout the state.
But-the more filtered cigarettes
smoked, the more strong tobacco
used. The old-type cigarette to-
bacco" as we knew it and grew il
20 years ago from Carteret County
east to Alexander County west
may be on the way out.

BUT LESS TOBACCO?
Have you listened to all these re-
ports about the dire things cigar
ette-smoking will do for you?
Well, then you are different from
the average American smoker.
In 1857, more cigarettes were
sold than in 1856. Yes, this past
year, smokers puffed, chewed, and
threw away as butts or ducks (ac-
cording to where you were raised
and l don't mean reared) 410
billion "coffin nails"-as they were
called back in the 20's.
The big trend last year was to
filters. Thirty-eight of every 100
cigarettes sold were of the filter
type. In 1851, for example, filter
brands accounted for only one
tenth of one per cent of total sales.
In North Carolina, the feeling is
that the smoker gets no more to-
bacco-maybe less-in a filter
than in what is known as "regu-
lar. The charge has also been
made that, since the filter cuts the
strength and reduces the "real old
tobacco TASTE, stronger tobaccos
are being used.

WITH THE BRANDS

WITH THE BRANDS In
1867, as it has for several years
now, Camels outsold all other Gig
arettes-with nary filter. Sales
of Camels were down little over
eight per cent when compared with
1856. However, Winstons, another
Reynolds product, were up nearly
Is per cent over 1856 and running

are.

Now watch for contested statez
ments between Chevrolet and Ford
as to the champion for 1857, Each
will claim the leadership. One led
in production, etc., and the other
led in sales. We hate to say it,
but believe these little old foreign
cars are going to get bigger bite
of the market in 1858. Keep an

Nearby Maryland planners
yesterday registered strong dis
approval Of another I agency's
plan TO install an iS-hole golf
course in the proposed Wheaton
regional park.
The Maryland National Cap
ital Park and Planning Com
mission voted unanimously
against the 200-acre public
links proposal advanced two
weeks ago by the Montgomery
Revenue Authority. The au-
thority had. suggested 1t could
build and operate the golf
course on part of the 500-scre
Wheaton Park site.
John P. Hewitt. the commits
sion's park director. said the
golf course would destroy the
natural physical characteristic
of the area and eliminate
planned facilities"
Montgomery County Council
members, who last spring voted
to provide Sis million to ac-
quire land for the regional park,
are scheduled to meet today
with the Planning Commission.
AT the joint session officials
we're to consider ways and
means of financing park pur-
chases.
Planners indicated they
would ask the County Council
to veto the golf course proposal.

Construction of a 17.6-mile
bridge-tunnel across Chesa-
peake Bay. linking the Norfolk
Portsmouth area with Vir-
ginia's Eastern Shore. was a
step closer to actuality today
Plans for the $137 million
project won approval late yes
terday from the Army Engi-
neer Corps. Thus the way was
cleared for the marketing of
revenue bonds to finance the
project by the Chesapeake Bay
Ferry Commission.
1t is estimated that 3l2 years
will be required to build the
complex Of trestles, bridges and
tunnels. When completed, il
will replace the present fleet
Of ferries operated by the Ferry
Commission between Little
Greek and Kiptopeke.
Lucius j. Kellam, chairman
of the commission, said the
group hopes to place the bond
issue on the market by october
He said the issue may have to
be as large as $3.50 million to
absorb an existing $40 million
issue by the commission and
to meet other expenses.
The project calls for two
tunnels-one of $500 feet under
Thimble Shoals Channel and
one of $685. feet under the
