Mr. ACIleSOn III SHARP dnSudSS'
Briefly stated, as it was by Muir
ply, the Administration argues
that Acheson wants the broad
behind" type of diplomacy, other
wise known in undiplomatic circles
as the sitting on your tall ap-
proach to world affairs.
Both sides, it seems to me, are
unnecessarily vituperative. The
real question is whether there have
been genuine changes inside Rus
STA since the death of Stain which
make 1t possible to have meaning
full negotiations with the Soviet
Communists.
But there is another way to look
at the Presidents trip that has
nothing to do with international
affairs and yet has an important
bearing on the future Of this
country.
Dwight D. Eisenhower is SO
years old, has suffered a heart
attack, a siege of ileitis and
mild stroke. He has IS months
longer to serve in office. The man
who might succeed him enjoys no.
where near the prestige or stand
ing of the President.
Yet before this trip is over there
is a possibility that Richard NJ.
Nixon might become President Of
the United States through a quirk
of fate. Leaving aside entirely the
arguments about Nixon's qualifica-
tons wonder II 1t is fair to the
American public for the President
to undertake such a hazardous
journey, covering such q wide area
in a mere 10 days?
AN EERIE FEELING - The
Presidents press conference Of
Dec. 2 was one Of the strangest /
have attended. The newspapermen,
almost as If they had met IN ad-
vance to talk this over, decided
not to press him hard on any ques-
ton, not to do anything to mar
this last meeting before he Is off
to talk with Nehru and the other
world leaders.
The President himself spoke
earnestly.
Now, I have relatively few
months left, and I decided to make

MISS NORTH CAROLINA
TOURS. OCRACOKE ISLE

OCRACoKE, July 21, 1850
Welcome to Ocracoke Miss North
Carolina" printed on the sands of
the flat beach at Ocracoke well
coined the 1859 Miss North Caro-
lima, "Judi" Kliphel, to Ocracoke
on Tuesday, July 81. Miss Kliphel
and her companion, Miss Betty 10
Wallace, the 1859 Miss Beaufort,
flew from Beaufort with Earl Tay-
lor to make a tour of the village
here. key D., O'Neal hailed them
as their plane arrived and escort
ed them around the island point
ing out places of interest. The
North Carolina beauties were par
ticularly impressed with the 0c-
racoke ponies and the Whitford
yacht where they were enter
tanned. After posing at the his
toric lighthouse for snapshots the
beauties were driven back to their
plane where they graciously
signed autographs and again
posed for more pictures. Miss
North Cardinals trip here was a
day off from her weeks vacation
at Atlantic Beach. Miss Kliphel
charmed the Ocracoke citizens who
formed a parade of cars and fol-
lowed her back to her plane where
a child was heard to say, "She's
pretty; / hope she's our next Miss
America"

WOMAN WHO CROSSED
ATLANTIC IS SEEKING
FURTHER ADVENTURES

Six years ago an adventurous
Englishwoman, Mrs. Ann Davidson,
arrived in Belhaven aboard the
Felicity Ann, small sailboat
in which she had crossed the At
lantic alone. This week she again
visited Belhaven, no longer an
Englishwoman, no longer a widow,
and no longer a sailor in the
strictiest sense, but still filled with
the spirit of adventure.
Since her last visit, she has be-
come an American citizen and has
married a Miami business man
named Billheimer. Her craft this
time was a sleek Glass Magic Ram
ger cabin cruiser powered by twin
Evinrude So Larks. 1t has ample
sleeping quarters and cooking
facilities. Mrs. Billheimer, or Ann
Davidson as she remain to the
readers of her books, said that
this trip is being made because she
promised her publishers another
book and she has a deadline to
meet. The book will recount her
adventures as she travels alone to
New York, across to the Great
Lakes, down the Mississippi and
back to Miami by the Gulf of Mexi-
co. She has a tentative title in
mind, "Hobo at Heart, but is not
sure that it will be used.
"Last Voyage, Mrs. Davidson's
account of her lonely trip across
the Atlantic, told the dramatic
story of her husbands death at sea
and her determination to complete
the voyage. On her visit to Bel
haven, the brave woman showed
the effects of her loss and the

DREDGING WORK
IN OREGON INLET
CHANNEL BEGUN
Long Project Begun on South
End Below Wanchese; Roots
and Logs Encountered

The Atkinson Dredging Com
pany of Norfolk which started
work on it's contract on the Ore
gon Inlet-Manteo channel Friday,
ran into an unpleasant surprise
south of Roanoke Island when
their dredge Northwind encounted
stumps of trees and logs inbedded
in Pamlico Sound. One log was 80
inches in diameter, Mr.. Atkinson
said. This may indicate that in the
dim and distant past, heavily tim
bered land covered the area.
The project, which will last near
ly year, has been started in the
toughest water to be encountered,
in hope that the south end may
be completed and the dredge up
in more sheltered waters before
winter sets in. The Atkinson COM
pany's contract calls for the re-
moval of upwards of three million
cubic yards of sand at a cost of
$545,0O0, and will make possible
the entry of vessels of 12-foot
draft into Mill Landing and Man
teo harbors.
An additional contract is to let
for construction of the channel
through the bar at Oregon Inlet,
and which requires larger equip
ment and is more costly to operate.
The history of the Oregon Inlet
channel project is a long one. 1t
was conceived back in january 1913
by the late Alvah Ward of Manteo.
1t enlisted the support of numer-
Gus towns and citizens of all the
area and Congressman Herbert
Bonner worked hard on it for years.
It finally was passed in Congress
after many ups and downs.

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES:
Says This Year Blows Wet and Dry,
Hot and Cold, With August Scorcher
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
In my last letter to you pub
lished June 10th, / predicted by my
weather signs and marks, lot of
rain in July, and by golly l was
right. l said a lot of rain would fol-
low dry June. / also noticed that
the State ABC association was
meeting in Mays Head that same
week, and it never fails; their an
nual convention is followed by a
lot of rain.
Now according to my weather
marks, the moon having fulled
Monday, we are going to have lot
of hot weather, and dry weather
through August to help kill up the
mosquitoes. This is about the only
thing that will get them, that and
a strong breeze every evening to
beat EN- to the ground.
Mr.. Editor, don't see much ir
the papers about how much taxes
we're going to have to pay this
year. l see in some of the papers
that most of the counties rounda.
bout are reducing expenses and
cutting tax rates. l don't know
how much we could hope to gel
taxes cut if any, but I would like
to see us clear up the old deficit
even if the tax rate stays the same
Now to my mind, if we keep or
ignoring what we owe, there is o
sad day coming when we have tt
face up to pay day.
l know there may come time
when the folks who have beer
giving us our tax money won't b.
able to pay up promptly, then how
will the county pay its bills. Il
looks like this year might be ono
of the years when this could hap

RAINS AND RUSTY
EQUIPMENT DELAY
MOSQUITO WORK
Complete Round Of Spraying in
County Has Been Made
Despite Handbags

Fortunately for Dare County
people the mosquito season did moi
set in until late in July. Due to
lack of funds to carry on the work
the county would have been hard
pressed to maintain an adequate
program. Mosquito experts" say
that the kind of work that has been
done in the county in the past is
largely wasted money, but it has
some psychological effect in pacify-
ing citizens who suffer from the
mosquito influx.
This week, despite many handi-
caps, all communities north of Ore.
|gon Inlet have received treatment
with DOT spraying equipment
Several weeks ago, one machine
was turned over to the committee
on Hatteras Island, for the purpose
of spraying that area. Of the two
machines left at Manteo, one has
been in the shop this week follow
ing breakdown. This equipment
has not been looked after too well
in past years.
The county Board, on taking of.
flee found equipment in bad state
Of repair as a result of neglect, and
no money left in the pot to carry
on the work With a new fiscaI
year underway, an appropriation
has been made. The men with ex-
perience who formerly carried or

week to get the county sprayed.

stand is that the overall cost Of

ROAD FUNDS FOR
DARE $I06,750 IN
THIS FISCAL YEAR
State Sets Up $s3.55o for Main
tenanee Of Secondary
Roads: New Roads
$500

A total of $1O6,75O in secondary
road funds has been allotted Dare
Couny for the current fiscal year,
according to letter from Harold
Makepeace, Secondary Roads Of
ficer to D. v. Meekins, Chairman of
the Dare County Board of Com
missioners. The larger part of this
sum is for maintenance of present
roads-$s3,550. For road construc-
ton or stabilizing, there has been
allocated $23,200.
While this sum is in excess of
last years allotment, it is indicated
that it will mean little more, due to
increased costs. During the past
two years, only two communities
have had any new construction. In
Kitty Hawk, years allotment was
used in building bridge; in Avon
road costing some $4,000 was
built.
About all the $34, 900 then re-
naming was spent in putting
drainage under existing roads,
which was caused by the enormous
amount of ditching done by hurri-
cane relief funds. 1t now turns out
that great part of this money
was wasted, since many people are
filling up bitches which cross their
lands, rights of way not having
been obtained before digging was
done.
In his letter to Mr.. Meekins, Mr..
Makepeace said the ALLEGATIONS to
counties are based on the total
numbers of miles on the secondary
system as of Jan. 1, 1859 the
funds allocated for secondary road
construction was based on the ;. :.
needs survey recently completed by
the state" !.
Within a few weeks, state and
county officials will confer on the
surveys results. This survey shows
the actual traffic count on each
road under consideration -. Con-
structions funds allocated might do
only about three miles of road this
year. The mileage desired would
run to Is, Meekins said. 1t it there
fore apparent that first considera-
ton be given to roads worse need
ed, particularly school bus roads.

GARBAGE SERVICE
ON BEACH HAS =
UPS AND DOWNS
New Contract Calls For Removal
Of Garbage Only; Trash
Not Included

Some changes were made in the
system of garbage collection on
the Dare Beaches under a new
contract entered into on July /.
Agitation for similar service had
been made in other parts of the
county. Contention was made that
such service was not legal unless
extended to all alike. Legal opin-
ion gave it that only in those con-
gested areas where garbage might
become a health menace, is there
authority TO continue the program.
The new contract at a saving of
$4,000 a year to the county, now
provides the collector must pick
up such garbage as is placed at the
street the night before, in covered
approved garbage containers. If
persons have other refuse than
household garbage, such as lumber,
trash, packing crates, discarded
furniture ETC., they wish moved, it
must be done at their own expense.
The Dare County Board has is
sued notices of the contractors re-
sponsibility in this connection, and
no person has right to complain to
him for not doing something for
which he has not contracted to do.
Garbage is picked up early in the
morning. Some persons, after the
truck has passed, have carried their

UNDERTAKE TO RUN
COUNTY WITHOUT
INCREASE IN RATE
New Budget Much Larger. But
Board Pins Hopes on De-
linquent Money

The tentative budget estimate
for the operation of the County
of Dare, which has been set up
by the Board of Commissioners,
for the fiscal year 1959-60 totals
$324,913.21. 1t is an increase of
$23,6S8.67 over the budget of the
year just closed, which was set at
500, 274.56.
While considerable savings were
made possible through no further
need for appropriations for court
house and Jail and high priced tax
appraisals, a large increase, more
than $4,000 was given the
schools, and increases given the
Sheriff for his deputies, etc. The
basic countrywide tax rate is
eighty cents as before, but spe-
cial school districts which embrace
all the county save Hatteras Is
land will pay the additional spe-
cial tax for debt service on the
new schools at Manteo and Kitty
Hawk, which are the result Of
votes by the citizens. This tax
will add about 20 more cents to
the rate.
In addition, all of Roanoke Is
land pays the usual tax of nine
cents for maintenance of the fire
truck stationed in Manteo, and
manned by the Manteo volunteer
Fire Department.
Further, property owners in the
Dare Beaches Sanitary District
will probably have to pay the tax
ordered by the Commissioners of
the District, which is three cents
in the town of Kill Devil Hills and
"a cents on all the people outside
the town, on the north and south
ends of the districts.
The tentative budget which is
now open for inspection at the Of
flee of C. S. Meekins, County Ac-
countant is shown herewith, to-
gether with comparisons with last
years budget:

I25 BLUE MARLIN IN
BILLFISH SCORE 1853
By AYCOCK BROWN

Blue marlin number 1875 for
waters off the Dare Coast Outer
Banks this season was landed on
Tuesday. Landed by James H.
Adams of Hillsdale N. j., the big
blue, scaling at 316 pounds pushed
the billfish score for water off
Oregon and Hatteras Inlets to 1853
