AUDITOR SHOWS
GENERAL FUND
! DEFICIT $50,882
Last Report Reveals General Fund
Running Heavily Behind
Two Years Ago

As predicted by this newspaper
two years ago that the Dare Coun-
ty General fund would show a
heavy deficit, if, as and when an
audit should be made. The audit
has finally been made without an
explanation for the long delay, and
the audit says the deficit in the
General Fund as of June Both had
accumulated to $50,882.77, and, in
the auditors words: at is impera-
tive that this deficit be eliminated
and not be allowed to accumulate
n the future"
The audit was made by R. O..
Howard, CPA of Belhaven, N. c.,
md is the last form of audit made
of county funds. 1t was delivered
% the Commissioners last week. If
usual practice follows, we believe
a much larger deficit would be re-
vealed, were a complete audit made
for the succeeding years.
By their loose and wasteful man
agement Of county affairs, the
Board Of Commissioners have been
allowing with their full knowledge,
or if they didn't know, by taking
the word of someone else, costly
deficit which from year to year, in
spite of constantly raising taxes,
appears to be constantly growing.
This audit was made prior to the
large expenditure of funds for
courthouse addition and ANEW jail,
which has required an outlay of
upwards of 100000.
The report shows a deficit in
the Poor Fund of S492.25.
1t shows a report in the Health
Fund of expenditures in excess of
Revenue of $2,622.93. For the par
ticular preceding year, it shows
however, the Welfare Fund had
receipts in excess of expenditures
by $5,582.19.
Again however, in the Debt
Service fund there was deficit of

report says, and when called to

FERRIES ESSENTIAL
TO ALL SEASHORE
HIGHWAY ROUTE
Discussion Of Many Problems al
Wilmington Meeting
Last Week '
By AYCOCK BROWN

Methods of obtaining ferries
from Ocracoke to Cedar Island,
connecting dead-end highways on
the mainland and Outer Banks
with U. S. 70 and the new all
paved highway extending south
from the Mays Head sector to
Ocracoke, and similar highways
extending to Fort Fisher and
Southport, were discussed at the
annual meeting of the All Seashore
Highway Association meeting in
Wilmington during the past week
end, according to Aycock Brown
who attended the meeting as a rep
resentative of Dare County Tour
list Bureau here.
"Such ferry services would COM
plete the first phase of plans for
an all seashore highway extending
from the Virginia State Line to
South Carolina and would abolish
dead end highways in two heavily
populated and much travelled
routes, SAID Brown.
At the Wilmington meeting Joe
Dubois of Morehead City, retiring
president of the association declar-
ed that the only thing preventing
ferry service between Ocracoke
and Cedar Island is some shallow
water and a suitable ferry land
ing. eve are hopeful that both the
state and federal government will
aid us in this undertaking." Du
Bots was quoted as saying.
Glen Tucker of Carolina Beach
announced at the meeting that eff
forts to obtain ferry service from
lower New Hanover County to
Southport was in an advanced
planning stage.
Other reports at the meeting in,
volved mosquito control in eastern
counties by DR.. S. H. Usry, state
sanitarian who explained plans for
area participation and Gil. Harry
Brown, representing Governor Hold
ges at the meeting indicated that
efforts to secure federal aid in the
beach erosion control program was
progressing satisfactorily.
The annual meeting held at the
Floating Oak Restaurant marked
the annual election of officers. ].
Vivian Whitfield of Fender County
was elected president of the 21-
coastal county group to succeed
Dubois who was elected secretary.
W. H. McCown of Manteo, in the
All Seashore's District 1, was

SCHOOLS CLOSE. FOX HUNT
CONTINUES WITH SNOW

Snow which began falling before
dawn Thursday morning failed to
interfere with the annual Valentine
Fox Hunt staged each year on the
Dare Beaches by the Carolinian

cided to dismiss schools at noon
and send pupils home. The sudden
snow found the ground dry, and
the resulting layer Of white was
the heaviest seen this year.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
well, from what l read in the
papers this week things is NOV
ing along in this dizzy world.
And it gifts dizzier all the time.
Fer instant, | see where they had
a lawsuit up in Boston and the
court ruled that woman on roll
er skates was a vehicle. I think
the judge was correct, and if she
was wearing Stacks l think it
would be legal to hold her fer
being a unguided missile. Vim
men is bad enough behind a
steering wheel, but when they
git on roller skates in a crowded
street the only safe place fer
miles around would be up on the
housetop.
wasn't surprised to see where
Ingrid Bergman's marriage went
on the rocks. Them kind of mar
riages seldom last longer than it
takes a farmer to fill his hayrack
x
with fodder.
I been aiming fer quite a spell
to write a column on marriage,
but my old lady has got so she
looks over this paper and didn't
know if it was safe or not. She's
gone to Milltail Greek to visit her
sister this week and so I'm going
to risk it.
AS a general rule there's two
sides to most all questions, and
that holds good fer marriage.
The side that gifts disgusting is
the one where these folks in the
entertainment field rotate their
mates like us farmers rotate our
crops.
Fer instant, was reading in,
the paper the other day about
this Teller in Hollywood taking
on his seventh wife. The piece
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1958-02-14

said they went to the license bu-
reau with the girl wearing a
bathing suit. I reckon she just
barely got there from her last
wedding in time to git a license
fer her new one.
Just between you and me, Mis-
ter Editor, / don't see no need in
a Teller Citing license fer mar
rying after about the fourth
time. / agree with some teller
that wrote not long ago that af-
ter a man has partaken of "holy"
wedlock about four times and
amt got cured or killed, one or
the other, the law ought to let
him take his wives where he
finds 'em, without benefit of
clergy or legal proceedings. He
has done proved that these two
items amt no benefit to him
anyhow.
On the other hand I don't
think a man or women ought to
stay hitched together if they
can't pull together. Ever onct in
a while, when me and my old
lady git to squabbling, think
the price on good divorce ought
to be put down where pore
man could afford one. But any
man or woman that gifts married
five or six times amt never got
married fer keeps in the first
place. They was just using the
preacher to- make 1t look legal.
Well, Mister Editor, if you
don't git no column from me
next week you'll know that some-
body over at Milltail Creek was
passing this paper around mighty
careless like.
Yours trul

CHINESE GIRL STUDENT
SPEAKS TO ROTARIANS
LADIES NIGHT MONDAY

Miss Ly Yeen All, Chinese Ro-
tary Exchange student whose home
is now in Phom-Penh, Cambodia
ndo-China, and whose American
lied name is Jenny Lee, was guest
speaker at the annual Rotary
Ladies Night program of the Man
teo Rotary Club, at the Carolinian
Hotel on Mays Head Monday eve
ming.
Although she had learned to
read English in her native land
her knowledge of speaking the
language has been only during the
past five months while studying at
Atlantic Christian College in Will
son. She amazed and pleased her
listeners as she told of life in far
away Cambodia, where living
standards are far below those of
America.
Under French rule for many
years, Cambodia is now an indepen-
dent nation, struggling for exist
ence and staging fight against
Communism, she stated.
While she herself is a Christian,
the majority of Cambodia residents
are Budhists.
She told of her studies at At
lantic Christian College and of her
desire to become a nurse, fol-
which there is a great need in
Cambodia.
Following her fluent, though
broken-English talk she answered
many questions of Rotarians and
guests present.
Ernest E. Meekins, club presi-
dent presided at the meeting and
Rotarian Wallace McCown intro
duced the speaker of the evening,
The widely acclaimed Manteo Ro-
tary Quartet under the direction OF
Dick Jordan provided music and
led the singing of Rotary songs.
The Rotary AIMS present each
received a red carnation and an
unusual piece of Rotary Ann Ruby
Smiths Outer Banks ceramics as
favors at the conclusion of the pro-
gram.

264 in the Gum Swamp sector be-
tween Manns Harbor and Stunpy
Point in daylight about 8 o'clock
last Saturday and again on Sun
day night as they drove along the
road there.
Rush described the animal as be-
ing much larger than a dog, and
with very dark or black fur. (Pu-
ma or cougar are normally reddish
brown but such an animal inhabit-

the great forest fire of 1867 on the

Another member of the Stumpy

BIG MULLET CATCH MADE
BY STUMPY pr. FISHERMEN

G. H. Payne, I. o. Payne, B. L.
Payne and ]. B. Basnight of
Stumpy Point caused much excite
ment Tuesday afternoon at Horace
Hooper's fish house. The four men,
near the Fisherman's Exchange
dock, struck fish with their oars
and decided, more or less for fun,
to. throw out their net and make a
haul to see what. Setting their net
not more than ten feet from the
dock, and showing out toward the
mouth of the channel, they made
a circle and started pulling their.
net in. The fish were so heavy.
they started taking the floats UNI
der and the men called for extra
help. Several men had gathered by
this time, quite a few from the
Navy barracks and strangers pass
ing in cars had stopped; so plenty
of help was available. After much
excitement, hard pulling and dip
ping out fish into a "shad boat"
the catch was thrown out of the
boat onto the dock and culled.
There were 1900 lbs. of mullets.
One of the motorist passing, Cecil
Berry, made the remark that he
had always heard of catches like
this but it was the first time he
had ever seen it. Mrs. Doris Twi-
ford, employed at Fisherman's
Exchange, wished for her camera.
to take pictures.
Anyone for a fish fry? Come in
and visit Fisherman's Exchange.
There are enough mullets to go
around.
