331 lis 1923

Last year, when schools opened
in Dare County with 1,189 stu
dents enrolled on the first day, a
gain of II was shown over the
preceding year. This week, when
school opened with 1,206 students
gain of II was shown for the
second time.
Wanchese School gained eight
pupils; Kitty Hawk lost seven; the
negro school at Manteo gained
only three. The Cape Hatteras
school showed gain of Is. The
two Manteo schools showed gain
in enrolment of 35, but this is
accounted for by pupils brought
from Manns Harbor and Stumpy
Point, two schools which were
operated last year, but moved to
Manteo this year.
Lunch rooms this year are
operated at both the elementary
and high schools at Manteo. The
latter is conducted by Mrs. Melvin
Twiddy of Manns Harbor, and Mrs.
Leland Wise of Stumpy Point. The
former, as in last year by Mrs.
Milroe Etheridge of Manteo, Mrs.
Nina Basnight of East Lake and
Mrs. Minnie Perry of Mays Head.

ed the morning sermon, which was
followed by picnic dinner, and in
the afternoon, song service was
held, with preaching by the pastor
Rev. Frank Dinwiddie, at which
time brief history of the church
was read by Mrs. Leonard Midget
This report showed the church
was organized in 1903. On the
present site a church building was
established, and one has been main
tanned here ever since. Soldiers
burned down the existing church
during the Civil war. Another
building was provided, which
served. as both church and school
house until the present structure
was erected, shortly before 1888
1t remains practically unchanged
save for the addition of Sunday
school section on the rear, and il
has a seating capacity of about
200.
When the church was 81 years
old, on March 25th, 1905, 81 mem
bers Withdrew to create the Man
teo Baptist Church. At the age of
101, the church lost IL other men,
bers who Withdrew to join the
church which had been built in
Mays Head, it having been organ
lied on August %, 1909 by Rev.
D. A. Tedder, pastor of the Roa-
noke Church, who attended serv-
ices here Sunday.
The Mays Head church soon
went away, but it has been re-
placed by a livelier congregation
in the central part of the village,
of which Mr.. Dinwiddie is pastor.
He serves this church mornings,
and breaches at the Roanoke Is
land church at night. ,
Rev. H. B. Hines, who was pas
tor of the church from 1919 to
1888 and Mrs. Hines were present
Sunday. They now live in San
ford.
Other pastors who have served
this church were the late Thos
G. Wood, who organized the Man
teo church; Pausch Collier, ]. T.
Stallings, J. T. Ragland, James
Howell, o. N. Marshall, C. c.
Perry, w. C. Fields, DR.. G. A.

DISPUTES HIGH PAY.
FOR ATTORNEYS IN
SANITARY DISTRICT
Chairman Bayne Thinks Amount
Promised Is Reasonable;
Danger Stressed

Rumors being circulated that
enormous attorneys fees are being
paid for work done in connection
with the Dare Beaches Sanitary
District are entirely misleading,
Chairman Pat Bayne of Mays
Head said this week. "We also re-
alize that there is a tremendous
amount of legal work in project
of this kind, and the public should
know about it and what it costs"
he continued, explaining that the
Board agreed to pay Martin KEEL
logg, Jr. retainer of $500 year
for the legal work, without other
expenses or fees.
Mr.. Bayne said there was no
foundation in reports that any per-
son had been promised a, job of
operating the water system, if
established. No such person is in
sight or known. On the other hand
it has been told that some people
oppose a good water system be-
cause they haven't been offered a
job of running it. eve can't go by
rrlmors in either direction" he
said. "But we can be sure of one
thing and ! wish you would quote a
serious letter we got from the
State Health Department. The let
ter Mr.. Bayne referred to is from
J. M. Jarrett, Director of the San
itary Engineering Division,and is
as follows:
Reference is made to the bond
election to be held for the installa-
ton of water supply for the Dare
Beaches Sanitary District.
Even before the Dare Beaches
Sanitary District was created by
the State Board of Health in 1919,
this office was becoming increas-
ingly concerned with the water
supply and sewage disposal prob
lens along the Dare Beaches. We
are therefore very much interested
in the fact that the local property
owners petitioned the County
Commissioners and the State
Board of Health to create this dis
trict in order that central and
safe water supply could be secured.
Gas you know the water now
supplied the many cottages, eat
ing establishments, hotels, motels
and similar places catering to the
public. is secured from shallow in
dividual wells, many of which have
from time to time shown evidence
of pollution. AS the beach area de-
velops and as more cottages and
commercial places are constructed
the real and potential health haz-
ards from unsafe drinking water
may be expected to increase I'M
less some action is taken to pro-
vide an adequate, potable and safe
drinking water supply. 1t is GER
tainly to the advantage of the cit
liens living and owning property
along the beaches to assist the
Dare Beaches Sanitary District in
obtaining safe and adequate wa
ter supply as rapidly as possible.
"In order that this area may con-
tinue to develop as one of our most
popular tourist attractions and rec
reational areas l trust that your
forthcoming bond election will be
successful and that the Sanitary
District Board will proceed as rap
idly as possible in completing it's
plans for a water supply for the
District"

American engineer who has
been the chief architect Of our
industrial development"
The shortening of the lead
time between scientific discov-
cry and chronological applica-
ton, he said, has placed new
demands on the engineering
profession and on engineering
education.
At a luncheon session Sir
Robert Alexander Watson
Watt, a pioneer developer Of
radar, told of his long associa-
ton with former British Prime
Minister Sir winston Churchill
He said that it was the Gus
tom Of Sir Winston to sleep
soundly from around 6 pm
until 10 PIMA privilege not
allowed his aides-and then
begin a conference lasting until
the early morning.
Sir Robert called for an &C.
celebration of basic research and
more academic freedom for the
participants.
Something has got to be
done in the elementary schools
to bring about this accelera-
tion," he added.

own benefit.
"a recent estimate indicates
that Of all the items now pub
lished in the field Of science in
the world. about half are pub
lished in English. The next larg-
est number are published in
Russian"
DR.. Killian also said that
there was an urgent need Ito
make adjustments In the level
Of support Of research necessary
to Offset imitation and to meet
new needs and opportunities.
Simply to increase funds for
rel earch, however, is not
enough" he continued. There
must also be an increase in
the support provided by private
agencies"
Urges Sterilization
He called for sterilization of
research financing, a national
program to provide large SCI
entiflc instruments, as for ex-
ample in nuclear physics" and
a new Organization pattern"
for basic research.
Pointing out that much basic
research now is being done in
industry, DR.. Killian said that
If such work moved completely
out Of universities I'VE would
certainly reduce our capacity to
educate future scientists"
DR.. Killian said q way must
be found to make engineering
schools a more attractive en-
vironment for top-flight engi-
neers and thus for top-flight
teaching of future engineers"
I'VE must achieve this adj
vance in the education of en-
gineers If engineering is to
achieve a professional quality
and status comparable to that
OF medicine and law" he said.

He added that the Library Of
Congress has come to be "a

But he went on to say that
there is not enough coverage
by the total national translat-
ing activity Of the significant

Soviet Union. Translation COW
erage is particularly inadequate

The Department Of commerce

RICHMOND, July 81 (R.-
Planning the 1.0O0-mile inter-
state highway system in Vir-
ginia is being done more and
more by the Highway Depart
ment's own personnel instead Of
by private consultants.
Last year. for instance. the
department awarded to consult
ants contracts totaling roughly
$3.8 million for studies, surveys
and plans involving Interstate
highways. This year the bill
viii be only about $1.s million
Newly acquired modern
equipment and an expanded
work force have enabled the
department to take over this
work. according to John E
Harwood, location and desigr
engineer. But he credits the
consultantS with the progress
Virginia has made on interstate
planning and construction.
They carried the load unit
We were able to get organized
They have done a wonderful
job" Mr.. Harwood said.
From now on the department
will retain private engineering
firms only for specialized worl
in highway congested urbar
areas and for plans and studio:
involving bridges.
