in business at Mays Head for 20
years, is not considering retire

YOUTH CENTER AT
STUMPY POINT IS
GROWING RAPIDLY
Supervised Dances and Reerea-
fion Sponsored by Methodist
Church Gets Large
Attendances

An unusual idea for providing
recreation for the youth of the
surrounding area is considered by
many citizens as being a large
success at Stumpy Point, where a
Methodist Church-sponsored youth
center they report, is paying divi-
dends in two important ways-by
providing a needed place of recrea-
ton for the youth and by contri-
buting its profits to the financial
support of the church.
Known as the M.Y.F. Club, the
youth center has been in operation
since December 4th, and an in
creasing attendance by the youth
testifies to its popularity. Young
people from numerous other Dare
County communities regularly at
tend the center's functions for
which there is no admission charge.
Dancing as well as several types
of games may be enjoyed, under
the supervision of adult chaper-
ones. The center's proceeds come
from the music and game machines
and from the sale of candy and
soft drinks; since its opening last
month, over $3.50 has been realized
for the church's benefit.
The center is open each week
on Friday and Saturday evenings
from 6 pm. to midnight and on
Sunday afternoon from 2 to 5 pm.
On Wednesday evenings, the cen
ter is open from 6 to $50 pm.
exclusively for children under IL
years of age, and has proved to
be popular with this younger set.
The sponsors of the center have
issued an open invitation to the
weekend dances. In doing so how
ever, they point out that absolute
ly no drinking of alcoholic bever-
ages is allowed and that persons
who have been drinking will not
be tolerated at any of the center's
activities.
Along with the committee on
recreation of the Shiloh Methodist
Church at Stumpy Point, the lead
in establishing and operating the
youth center has been taken by

HASSELL-C HAS
COMPLETED BODY
SHOP IN MANTEO

Business improvements continue
in the town of Manteo. Hassell-
Greet, local Chevrolet Dealers this
week completed large new build
ing which houses a body shop,
paint shop, and storage for cars,
and is the first building built in
Dare County for housing a body
work shop. The body shop will be
operated by a capable mechanic,
Gilbert harrington, formerly of
Norfolk, who has been with Has
sell-Creef for several months.
The new building, which is not
noticeable from the street, is To-
Gated directly behind the Quinn
Furniture Co. store and is reached
by a drive between the furniture
store and the Chevrolet place. This
building has also storage space for
Is new cars, is 80 feet wide and
126 feet long, and has an ell built
at the rear. 1t is constructed of
masonry blocks.
This new business addition is of
value to the community, where
heretofore no expert body facilities
have been maintained regularly. It
is now possible to have work of
the best type done at home with
out the expense of travelling back
and forth to other towns.
The local Chevrolet agency is
owned by Leigh Hassell and H. A.
Greet, and employs some 12 peo-
pie. The Chevrolet repair shop

MANY NEW HOMES
RISE ON HISTORIC
MOTHER VINEYARD
The Old Josie Baum Plantation
Changes From Winery'to
Subdivision.
By PRATT WILLIAMSON. JR.

by FhAII WILLlAMOOlN, IN.
The Mother Vineyard plantation
on northern Roanoke Island, which
once boasted a thriving wine-mak-
ing operation, is currently seeing
substantial development for resi-
Dental purposes. Three modern
new brick homes have just been
built in the subdivision, and ac-
cording to Guy H. Lennon, presi-
dent of Mother Vineyard, Inc.,
about 20 lots have been sold and
at least five other new homes are
being planned.
The Mother Vineyard winery
went into operation in 1887, 10000
Scuppernong grapevines having
been planted on the 400-acre plant
alton. AS much as $4,000 gallons
year of Mother Vineyard N. C..
Scuppernong wine was produced.
The wine established a reputation
for itself and was always in strong
demand until the operation of the
winery was suspended about four
years ago.
The winery building itself is
still standing, and Mr.. Lennon said
this week that his brother, DIR. w.
E. Lennon, now a physician in
fredericksburg, Nd, plans to start
shortly converting the winery into
home, to be used primarily as a
summer residence.
The three recently built homes
are said to have cost between $751;
900 and $4,000 each. John F..
(Jack) Wilson, Jr. has new home
on a lot fronting on Roanoke
Sound and adjoining the winery
property. Across the road from the
Wilson residence are homes built
by G.. Linwood Cuthrell, recently
moved to Manteo from Hyde Coun-
ty, and by Delton Dowdy of Man
teo.
Other purchasers who are plan
ming to build homes in the area
include Alvah H. Ward Jr., r. D.
Sawyer, Jr., Tommy Daniels, and
w. II. McCown.
Special provisions have been
made to preserve a 30-foot section
of grapevine which includes the
original roots, Mr.. Lennon said.
The remaining vine will be bull
dozed away to clear sites for
homes, except where the hometown
ers wish to keep portions of the
vine growing on their property.
The corporation few years ago
dug canal through a portion of
the property providing an excellent
harbor for small boats, and plans
are now being made to reopen the
original road leading into the prop
erty connecting with the highway
between the homes of Raymond
White, Jr., and Ohio Ward; re-
opening of the road will provide
a complete circle through the
property. Mr.. Lennon said. Plenty

COMPROMISE JUDGEMENTS IN
TWO SUITS REACHED IN DARE
SUPERIOR COURT WEDNESDAY
Public to Get 5o-Foot Right of Way TO Ocean In
Land Claimed by Jenne++e; Etheridqe-Wes+-
eo+t Suit Settled; Case of Mrs. Julia Gray Be-
tore Court Thursday, and Several Cases Con-
+nued or Yet Not Reached.

A compromise settlement was
reached in two cases Wednesday
during the special term of Dare Su-
perior Court this week, and third
large case, that in which Mrs.
Julia Gray is seeking damages as
result of an automobile mishap
was before the court on Thursday.
In the first case, a judgement
was signed whereby the public viii
continue to have so foot right of
way to the ocean over land which
has been claimed by w. H. Jen-
nette near Whalebone. The plain
tiff was suing Dare County and
II. b. Lennon in this instance, con-
tending he owned the land. The
county tended to show that the
land had been taken for a road
way about 80 years ago. Jennette
claimed the roadway by virtue of
the deed under which he bought
the adjoining property.
A jury sad been brought from
Pasquotank County to try this
case, but a compromise judgement
was reached.
Judge Chester Morris of Curri-
tuck presided.
In the second case disposed of
Wednesday, R. Bruce Etheridge,
and P. w. and T. S. Meekins Jr.,
administrators of the estate of the
late T. S. Meekins We're plaintiffs
against C. T. Westcott and wife,
seeking to remove a cloud from
the title of certain Mays Head
beach property, wherein contract
had been recorded some 20 years
ago, to sell to Westcott certain
lots, but payment for which had
not been made in full, OF the deed
had not been passed during the
lifetime of Mr.. Meekins who was
then in partnership with Mr..
Etheridge in the ownership and
sale Of these lands.
Under this judgement, the plain
tiff agreed to pay the costs, and an
unspecified sum to the defendants.
This sum was reputed to be in the
neighborhood Of $1,000 whereby ali
claims against the land would be
released.
Mrs. Julia Gray's case grows out
of an automobile mishap on Mays
Head beach two years ago, when
she was seriously injured as her
car, driven by Mrs. Ethylyn Watts
ran into the rear end of truck
engaged in picking up trash along
the Mays Head highway, which
truck was owned by Leonard Mid
gett of Manteo at the time. Mrs.
Gray has brought suit against both
Mrs. Watts and Mr.. Midget, alleg-
ing negligence, and asking large
sum.
Civil actions have been continued
as follows: R. E. Parker Jr., VS..
G. H. Sides and wife for alleged
Indebtedness; Estelle Lancaster
against Harry T. Hayman, suit
concerning the division of proper
ty; Daniels Building Supply Com
pany against Mrs. Martha Barnett
for funds alleged due under con-
tract.
Three other suits are pending on
the calendar this week as follows:
Mrs. Farley Miller VS.. E. R. Mid
gett, involving a boundary dispute
at Buxton; Coastland Realty Co.,
vs.. E. v. Midget, and L. D. Tar
kington and wife VS.. e. r. Midget,

plaintiffs.
