EDUCATION BOARD
CUTS GARMENT TO
FIT THE CLOTH
Man+eo To Lose Home Economics
Teacher; Items Eliminated

Many items had to be eliminated
from the school budget when the
Dare Board of Education met
Tuesday, all members being pres
ent. One great disappointment was
having to do without home eco
nomics department for the Man
teo school, funds not being avail
able to supplement the salary of
a teacher that had been allotted.
Wide variations We're observed
in the bids that were offered for
various projects and repairs.
Bids for repairs and additions to
Cape Hatteras School were receiv-
ed from the following: Kellogg
Supply Company, Manteo; C. P.
Gray, Buxton; Shelly Fronts,
Buxton. Bid tabulations were as
follows: Kellogg Supply Company,
$10,53E50; c. P. Gray, $7,975.OO;
Shelley Fronts, $6,895.OO.
The Superintendent reported
that the Board of County Com
missioners had appropriated only
$60,000.00 instead of the request
ed $131,31407 for the 1958-1959
school budget and that with the
$2,753.48 unencumbered balance
from 1957-1958, the total school
budget would amount to $62, 1853. 48.
Following a detailed study of the
most pressing needs, and main
tanning that the Board of County
Commissioners had failed to APP
propriate sufficient funds to prop
erly operate and maintain the
schools of the county, the Board
of Education unanimously adopted
the 195S-1959 school budget of
$62, 753.48, which made necessary
the following revision:
1. The deletion of $1,169.OO in
work planned for Wanchese School
such work including a fence for
the school grounds, painting of the
lunchroom, porches, and stage,
grading the playground, and parti-
tioning a storage closet.
2. The deletion of $6,1S5.50 in
repairs and additions for Cape
Hatteras School, such work includ-
ing the construction of storage
room, painting the interior of the
building, and concrete slab over
the fuel tank.
8. The deletion of $7,882.O0 for

FEATHER IN HAT
INDICATES MOOD
DIRECTOR BRITTON
Spirit of Cooperation Between
Cast and Director Produces
Perfection in Dramas
Balance
By ELIZABETH WEIGH

Clifton Britton could truly be
said to have stuck feather in his
hat and called it The Lost Colony
Now in his fifth season as direc-
tor of this outdoor drama, Mr.. B.
as he is affectionately called by
his cast, shows by the feather his
state of mind about the show. This
feather is the barometer of success
or lack of it, for, when things
aren't up to the standard he has
set, the feather is not there, and
everyone knows then we'd better
"get with it" right away.
The wearing of the feather is a
tradition of The Lost Colony dat
ing from the 1913 Chief Wan
cheese, Don Mason, who wore a red
feather to ward off that : ever
present threat of the outdoor show
rain. Mr.. B, however, wears
lemon-yellow feather to protect
against sun, for, during the re-
hearsal period, the morning sun
beats down numerically upon the
heads of the Woodworking cast
as they rehearse on the uncovered
stage of the Waterside Theatre on
Roanoke Island. Begun more or
less as joke, the yellow feather
has gathered unto itself somewhat
of prestige and significance, so
much so that it could almost be
listed .as a member of the cast. 1t
is a psychological whip, speaking
more potently than gesture OF
voice to say when things are going
well. And it is always attended by
sense of humor which augurs
well for the spirit in which affairs
are bettered. For it is with laugh
that someone says, "Get on the
ball! The feathers down."
During the first week on the is
land, as the production went more
and more smoothly, everyone was
amazed at the rapidity and ease
with which the production was
pulling together. Within a weeks
time things were going so we'll
and the weather was being so kind
that the cast was given a day
off to make the trip together to
williamsburg to see their sister
show, THE COMMON GLORY. The
cast returned from williamsburg
with increased insight into what it
takes to make a "live" show and
with deeper sense of response
bility to their own production.
The feather has been known to
vanish. And when it is not there,
watch out! For the Chief is on
the war path. And, with a fine
spirit of loyalty and cooperation
things. are righted quietly, for this
show is characterized by a warm
tn of comradeship and team work
coupled with discipline. Mr.. B Il
the Chief with the Heap Big
Feather and he also speaks with
the Heap Big Voice the few times
it Is necessary. All respect his
Judgment and his wishes, and they

ROBBING PAY STATIONS
CONTINUES ON BEACHES

Latest two break-ins of tele-
phone booths on the Dare Beaches
We're investigated Wednesday night
by Sheriff Frank Cahoon, who fol-
lowed suspected robbers until two
o'clock in the night. Attempts to
get the money box from the booth
at Anderson's store, and at Ava
Ion beach were unsuccessful.
Last week two robberies were
made, one at Kill Devil Hills at
Twifords, and one near Kitty
Hawk. Coin boxes were taken.
Sheriff Cahoon says the value Of
the equipment in one of these
booths is near 5000 each.

BLUE FISH AGAIN
RUNNING HEAVY IN
DARE co. WATERS
By AYCOCK BROWN

Bluefish in great schools finally
arrived at Oregon Inlet during the
past week and all who trol(ed for
the little fighters made large
catches.
One party of four anglers aboard
the cruiser Marpete boated 729
blues in one day, seasons record
catch from number of fishes taken
by one group. The party was head
ed by ]. P. Ryland of Franklin, Va.
Other parties, some fishing only
a half day, boated anywhere from
so to 200 of the snappy little
fighters.
In the beginning of the current
run the fish were small, usually
going about three quarters of a
pound on an average. AS the week
advanced however, the fish were
larger and some weighing up to a
pound and half and two pounds
were in the fabulous catches.
Offshore fishing during the week
was spotty, but some excellent
dolphin hauls were made. Catches
also included king nlackerel, barra-
cuda, amberjack, and giant Hat
teras Blues. From Cape Hatteras
waters also, several billfish were
taken during the week including
three giant blue marlin.
The blue marlin catch pushed
the total for these giant billfish
to SIS for the waters Of the Dare
Coast this year. This is more blue
marlin than have been taken any
where else in the world during the
same period, or between May 10
and July %, 1858.

INTEREST CROWS IN
SEASHORE ROUTE;
AND BEACH AIDS
Coasfal Road and Sterilization Of
Ocean Front. Find Approx
ing Officials

Two important subjects along
the N. C. Coast are the stabiliza-
ton of the beaches to fight erosion
and the development of an ALI
.Seashore Highway from Virginia
to Cedar Island. Both projects
found approval this week at the
meeting in Wilmington of the
State Board of Conservation and

able on long range program for
building up the coast.
Both the All-Seashore Highway
Association and the Southeastern
N. C. Beach Association were rep
resented and explained their pro-
gram, which includes sterilization
of the Outer Banks and coastal
shore lines. 1t also emissions es-
tablishment of an independent
North Carolina waterways COM

tain, regulate, and open inland and
coastal waterways.
Other actions by the board at its
concluding session:
1. State Geologist j. L. Stuckey

BILE to resume coal mining in the
Deep River coal fields of Lee and
Chatham counties. Cooley's dis
trict includes the area where the

2. Plans for an industry-hunting
expedition to Philadelphia in Octo-

Of Mid-AtIontic Golfers

Fred Mcleod, National Open
champion so years ago, was an
honored guest at the annual
meeting Of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association at Columbia
last night, but he put some
spice in the meeting when he

to the United States Golf Asso-
citation that tournament play
ers be permitted to clean the
ball on the green and repair
ball marks. Mcleod helped de-
feat the motion by an over
whelming majority.

more was installed as presi-
dent, succeeding 1t. Gen. Floyd
L. Parks (USA, ret.). 1t has
