unjustly. His hardest decisions, he
has found, are to give a defendant
a road or prison term, especially
when the man is a young person
Not only does a term in prison OF
on the roads frequently have an
adverse effect on a person directly,
he points out, but person with a
prison record will always encoun-
ter difficulty in getting employ
ment or keep them from entering
the armed forces. He admits that
such punishment is sometimes I'M
avoidable, but says he is doubtful
if in many cases it helps to
straighten out the offender.
During the course of his office
holdings, there have been instances
when parties involved in court pro-
ceedings have attempted to offer
Judge Baum brides ranging as
high as $500. He particularly re-
calls one instance when man
came into his place and slyly slip
ped S. in his coat pocket; the
judge discovered the money a few
minutes after the other man left,
caught up with him, made him
take the SIS, and gave him good
verbal lashing.
Judge Baum, who is 81, still de-
votes part Of his time to fishing
his ocean nets. He has always liked
an active life and would undoubt-
edly find it difficult to take it
easy all the time. He is now faced
with running for judge again in
the May primary, but says he finds
it difficult to make up his mind
on seeking another term.

George Fuller to seek the office
representing Hatteras township.
Fuller, a successful business man
has ability and personality as we'll
as youth.
The Chairman of the Board,
Claude Duvall is expected to run
again, since he is well paid by vir-
tue of the office, what with his
$50 a month from the county, and
other considerations which come to
him because of his position. A
number of citizens of the mainland
have been urging Horace Hooper
of Stumpy Point to be candidate
for this office.
No reports have come from the
Board of Education, although Lee
land Wise of Stumpy Point is ex-
pected to run again, as well as
Robert Balance of Manteo. There
are some rumors afloat that candi-
dates for other offices will be in
the field before filing time closes,
this being considered a good year
to get elected.
Judge Washington Baum, after
81 years in office has not definite
ly made up his mind about seeking
another term, but most friends be-

Etheridge has already said he is a

for the contract to be made part

The board approved the aban-
donment of short piece of road

protests having been lodged by
owners of adjacent property.
On request from the Board of
Education, the clerk to the board
was instructed to write the State
Highway Commission about two
matters. One was request that
the state improve a short piece
of road at Hatteras known as the
South Back Road, and the other
was request. that the state put
in curb, gutter, and a sidewalk
from the existing curb and gutter
going south from the Town of

did not lose trade by being judge
but actually gained some instead.
Mr.. Baum had other trial
experience prior to becoming re-
corder's judge; he served as JUS
tice of the peace for a period OF
time, just how long he is not GER
tain, and for two years while ma
yor of Manteo also held mayors
court. He lalso had four years
service as county commissioner
serving as chairman of the Board
Now to digress a little, as Vic
tor Meekins says, to add to this
story, Judge Baum has what is
called the Baum bullheadedness,
and once a Baum thinks he's right,
there is no way to change his
mind. This Baum blood prevails
very strongly in those Roanoke Is
landers of the Meekins, Ward,
Etheridge and Daniels tribes of
Roanoke Island, and some others
too.
1t was this tenacity which back
in 1926 made Judge Wash Baum,
then chairman of the Dare County
board stick to his policy to build
a bridge to Mays Head.
Frank Stick came to Roanoke
Island from New Jersey and he
told the Board of Commissioners
how Dare County could be worth
something to itself if it would
build a bridge from Roanoke Is
land to Mays Head, connect up
the beaches north and south and
get way across Currituck Sound.
Judge Baum had to be convinced
SO Mr.. Stick took him to New
Jersey and showed him what had
happened in all the Asbury Park
vicinity as result of roads and
bridges. Judge Baum returned con-
WINGED, and he set about bonding
Dare County for money to build a
bridge and causeway to Mays
Head.
There was a lot of local oppo-
sition from people who just
couldn't see so far ahead as Judge
Baum thought he saw, and they
said Dare County could never pay
the debt.
But Judge Baum and his board
of commissioners went ahead and
built the bridge to Mays Head, and
now nobody would say it was
wrong. But the bullheadedness of
Judge Baum is the only reason It
got there when it did.
Returning to his career as a
Judge. Mr. Baum says he tries to
"nlix mercy with Justice He also
commented that while he likes to
see the law observed he does not
like to see any violator condemned

BY CAROLYN LLOYD

Before the days of movies, ra-
dio, and television, home talent
shows were popular in Belhaven, as
well as in towns large and small
throughout the land. Without the
yardstick of professional perform
ances to judge by, people enjoyed
the acting and antics of the home
town folks. In every town there
were a few people whose talents
were always in demand. One of
tose in Belhaven was Mrs. H. R.
Way, whose name is still known
locally and far afield. Her favorite
role on the local stage was that of
lend man" in the MINISTRIES that
were dear to the heart of the thea
ter goers. Mrs. Way wrote her own
material for these shows, using To-
cal names to heighten the interest.
The following is an excerpt from
one of her minstrel scripts and
may bring back memories to those
who enjoyed the shows.
90 Lawd, give these thy SER
wants de searching eyes of de Chief
of Police Marvin Jones an de wis
dom of the honorable Bill Sears.
Konnect their souls with the gospel
thru and by the grand telephone
system of dis here great, big beuti-
full Belhaven town. Illuminate their
brows with 'lectric light sistum
that never goes out that they may
see one 'nuthers faults case it do
go out. Overflow their minds with
the fear of ledge Lee upon the
road. Turpentine their imagination
with the spirit of New Lake corn
meal. Grease their lips with pos
sum oil and onions so that their
kisses wont last no longer than
Ralph Swindell's bank account.
Loosen their tongues like the sweet
music of Mr.. Pittman's sledge
hammer when all the baff rooms is
froze up. Lectify their brains with
the knowledge of Heber Wilkinson
when he reads dem air meter
eaters. Roll the thunder of fear in
the blushing bride to be dat she
may never forget dem words,
"Obey." Put petual motion in the
groom's arms and wallop in his
hand. Change the law on wife
beatin with necessary perfection
of married man. Fill dis here
couple plum full of Mr.. Voliva's
dynamite; 'noint them all over with
Mr.. Keaton's kerosene oil of saliva
ton and den set 'em on, fire"
Of those mentioned in the skit,
three-Heber Wilkinson, Mr.. Pitt
man, and Ralph Swindell-are still
living in this vicinity. Mrs. Way
herself, though a partial invalid,
still has the unquenohable spirit
that made her the hit of the min
strel shows. She doesn't leave her
Beech Ridge home these days, but
through the medium of radio, tele-
vision. and newspapers she keeps
up with a changing world. The
years have dimmed neither her
mind nor her enthusiasm. One of
her hobbies is exchanging letters
with pen pals; and, though she
now must sometimes depend upon
others to do the actual writing, it
is a safe guess that her pen pals
never find her letters dull.
There isn't much demand for
hometown talent these days; but if
there were and Mrs. Way could

| ing pushed in many sectors of
Dare towards making the 1858
program one of the most unusual
OF all Dare Coast Frate JAM
| borees.
Un Hatteras, "a schedule of
events with Bill Dillon OF Buxton
as program chairman was announc-
ed last week. In addition to at least
three pre-Jamboree dances on tap
Tor hatteras Island, where pirate
"beards" are more plentiful than
ever before and where scores OF
costumes are now in the making,
one OF the special features of the
Hatteras Island phase OF events
will begin on Wednesday morning,
April 70. This will be the surf
fishing contest. "This will give
anglers two and a half days to pit
their skill against fish of the surf
prior to the awarding OF prizes
4or the largest at noon on Friday"
said Dillon.
Fridays program on Hatteras
Island, most of which will be held
at the greatly expanded and i'm
proved NPS Day Use area at the
Point of Cape Hatteras, includes
the big free fish fry, costume con-
tests, a Coast Guard rescue drill,
an exhibition of horsemanship by
che Ocracoke Boy Scouts and their
banker ponies, big open-air dance
at the new parking facilities, and
the awarding of prizes for various
contests. A beach buggy race if
held, and it is planned, would be
presented on the beach near Hat
teras village rather than on Ma
tional Park Service properties.
Dick Jordan and George Sides,
co-chairmen of the Dare Beaches
program on Saturday, April &c,
nave announced that one of the
main attractions will be the pirate
landing at Avalon Beach. Other
events will include a bicycle race
around Wright Memorial Monu-
ment, a bull-frog jumping contest
at the Recreation Center, a treas
ure hunt for children in the vicin-
ity of Kill Devil Hills monument,
and an exhibition of sand skiing at
Jockey Ridge. A children's costume
contest will also be held in the
vicinity of the Recreation Center
"Of course all plans for the Dare
Beaches events which we have
lined up are subject to the approx
al of the general committee at
their next meeting" said Jordan.
Finale of the Dare Beaches
event would be the gala coronation
ball. On the following day, Sun
day, April 81, it is planned to move
the scene of events to Manteo
where the Dare Power Boat Asso-
citation would present wildcat boat
races and to Manns Harbor where
open-air religious services to be
arranged by Stanford White will
| be held.
Already, promotional activities
in Dare for the big Jamboree are
gaining momentum. Dick Purser,
n charge of souvenir sales, is
busy stocking merchants with pi-
rate paraphenalia, and Jolly Roger
flags are appearing on automo-
biles. Silver dollars and "pieces of
eight" are clinking in purses and
merchant tills, and under the lead
arship of Julian Oneto and Wallace
McCown pirate caravans to cities
and shows for radio and television
stations are being arranged.
