| BRAGG COMING HOME TO
OCRACOKE BRINGING AN
OLD FRIEND FROM SICILY

Even in our present world OF
today, where distance is being
shortened daily by high speeds, il
is still long way from the shores
of Sicily, bathed by the waters of
the Mediterranean Sea, to the
shores of Cardinals Outer Banks,
laved by the waters of the Azure
Blue Atlantic Ocean.
1t will be the pleasure of son
of Sicily to enjoy the tropic cline
of Cardinals Coastland. This, the
result of this writer's good fortune
in having met this man and form
ed a mutual friendship.
Once in a lifetime, it is the
privilege of some of us, to become
friends of others born on foreign
soil. And, lest we forget, it
definitely true, that of these and
by these, was our America built.
Sixty-two years ago, in the town
of Catania, Sicily, was born a
"Bambino", christened Rosario
Bonaccorso. He left his home
at age of II, and resided for 16
years in Sac Paolo, Brazil. When
the fabulous land of the U. S.
beckoned and Bonaccorso selected
Philadelphia as his future home,
soon becoming citizen of his
adopted country,
He took a job, and in 1925, two
years after entering the country
he married Miss Catherine Spano,
who blest him with a daughter,
Phelippa, and later a son, Pasquale.
Today, in the true American way,
they are just plain Phil and Pat,
Phil has responsible position and
Pat is a valued member of an
Engineering Co.
neering co.
From long years of hearing his
friend Bragg, boast about his is
land home of Ocracoke, it became
an obsession with Mr.. Bonaccorso
to take look at the much famed
island. So early in July it is plan
ned to fulfil that desire.
Mr.. Bonaccorso, and l, both re-
tired, will be seen taking in the
wonders of nature that TEEN on
the island. With other guests, they
will occupy the Styron cottage To-
Gated near the Midgetts, boyhood
friends of this writer.
Mr.. Bonaccorso already has an
interest on the island before he
even sees it. There is a grape vine
growing in the yard of Milan Will
liams, which came from a plant
taken from Mr.. Bonaccorso's yard
in Philadelphia. Last year it pro-
duced grapes twice the size of
those from the parent vine, and
this has our former son of Sicily
puzzled, being as he is, an author
ity on grape culture.
However, when he gets the feel
of the tropic cline prevalent on
our Outer Banks, he will quickly
realize why the Ocracoke vine
produced better than the original.

CHANGES IN COASTLAND
After All. There is Lille Essential
Change in Living on the
Outer Banks
BY Tom Wheelwright

Times have changed on the out
er banks-or so the old timers will
tell you.
After more than decade away
during vacation times this con-
vert to Banker living" sees lit
tie essential change.
There is the same sand, sea and
sky. The same unique landscape
and the Mays Heads giant dunes
appeared just as mysterious from
the Wright Memorial bridge as
they did years ago from the old
Point Harbor ferry.
Of course, now there are roads
everywhere and free ferries and
bridges which widens the area one
can explore by car but just off
the shoulders of the roads, there
is the same sand and the same dig
and push routine for the luckless
ones who weren't initiated before
the roads came.
The wild ponies are still here
but they have reiterated to Ocra-
coke Island. A trip to Ocracoke
has added adventure with the
beach ferry landing which has
something of the flavor of an in
vasion which indeed you and your
car are making.
The long road on the island made
of war surplus landing strip pads
adds to the invasion atmosphere.
Kill Devil Hill has it's beautiful
monument and by dint of great
effort has been stabilized with veg
citation and the long mares tail of
sand which used to pour off its
summit in high winds is gone.
The movies, radio and television
is fast standardizing the speech of
the nation but on the outer banks
one still hears enough of the old
Elizabethan English expressions
and speech to spice an evenings
conversation.
The same friendly and immense
ly willing helpfulness of the peo-
pie still is here. We know, for we
are gratefully accepting it right
now.
The present trip started as a
camping trip for a group of Ex-
plorer scouts and the writer for
a week end at Hatteras.
On the way home to Virginia
the group stopped at Fort Raleigh
for a half hour. Coming out of the
gate, the station wagon decided it
liked the outer banks too and re-
fused to go any farther.
The four explorers and the writ
er have been taken under the wing
of the town of Manteo until a
spare part can be found for the
car.
1t appears that what started out
as a weekend jaunt will turn into
a weeks vacation.
In order to ease our conscience
little for not being at work on
our own newspaper today, we
asked for the use of typewriter
in the Times office.
Thanks again Manteo, and the

BAPTIST WOULD BUILD
100000 HOME FOR

Bloomington Names
Group To Study
Problem of Sewage

Establishment of a sanitary dis
trict in Bloomington as an initial
step towards securing a sewage
disposal system for the town was
suggested to large group of prop
erty owners at a public meeting
last week in Bloomington school.
The suggestion came from Char
ley Miller, Sanitarian for the coun-
ty health department, and P. c.
Dodge and T. w. Shives, sanitary
engineers for the Maryland Depart
ment Of Health.
Such a district could be estab-
lished by an amendment to pres
ent state law With establishment
of the district it would be possible
for the district commissioners APP
pointed to borrow money from the
county for financing a preliminary
engineering survey to prepare
plans and to estimate costs on
sewage disposal system. Repay
ment of the loan would be by adj
ditional taxes on property owners.
The suggestion also was made by
the visitors that sewage from the
town could be carried in an eight
inch pipe line down to Luke to con-
meet with the line from the paper
mill to the sewage disposal plant.
Citizen reaction was that the cost
of a pipe line to Luke would be
considerably more than the prop
erty owners could afford.
Objection was also made to the
suggestion of sanitary district.
Most of those present felt that
more information on the probable
cost Of a sewer system should be
available before any action is
taken.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate costs and report at fu-
ture meeting. On the committee
were Richard Howard, chairman;
Harry Kohne and Victor II. Harvey.
The meeting had been called by
sanitary officials of the county.
