TEEN AYERS AND
MUSIC PROBLEMS
OF MANTEO PTA

The Manteo P. T. A. at its meet
ing Wednesday night had two i'm
|portant problems before it, neither
of which got final disposition but
are carried over for further con-
sideration.
The P. T. A. considers itself re-
sponsible for finding a center fol-
the teen-age children of the COM
munity to be amused, and has had
difficulty in finding a place that
suits the youth. Some places pro-
vided appear little too tame. Sew
eral have been chosen and tried
out. The committee on this prob
lem has been continued to have
further meetings with the young
folks in hope of working out a pro-
gram that will be satisfactory to
them. This committee consists OF
Rev. R. w. Turner, Mrs. Mary D.
Meekins and W. H. Bunch.
The question of establishing a
program of public school music
came up and Mrs. Leigh Hassell
reported that the school committee
had planned to request that this
be adopted in the next county
school budget, if approval can be
first obtained from the state school
authorities.
In the absence of President Bill
Ernst, vice-president John H. Long
presided.

Friends of The Lost Colony steer
ing committee and while charter
members have been specially urged
to be present, all persons interest
ed in keeping the show in produc.
ton here are urged to be present,
said David Stick, temporary chair
man of the organization. He was
elected at a meeting held in The
Shrine Club two weeks ago when il
was pointed out that $4,000 must
be raised locally to start the show
this year.
At the Shrine Club meeting
about one-fifth of the amount need
ed was raised in cash or subscrip-
tions among the citizens of Dare
and out Of county residents pres
ent.
1t was suggested at the meeting
two weeks ago that 100 persons
subscribing $3.50 each would give
the assurance that The Lost Colony
would open this year.
"We know that many small OPP
orators and individuals who cannot
conveniently give $3.50 for this
cause want to help" said Stick,
"and therefore we will be open for
suggestions relative to accepting
smaller amounts.
Stick stated that at the meeting
all suggestions for perpetuating
The Lost Colony which he described
as a "Dare County institution"
would be welcome.

repair equipment arrived here to-
day on special ferry from MAINS
Harbor and according to Super
visor r. C. Speight work on the
repairing of the hurricane dam
aged Ocracoke road will begin to-
morrow, Tuesday. A. G. Grizzard
will superintend the work. Sixteen
men were brought in to operate
the machines, together with sever
al trailer living wagons and a din

two heavy duty motor graders,
and several jeeps and trucks. The
force will be used in an attempt
to raise the elevation at the crest

DISCUSSIONS HELD
TO 1859 JAMBOREE
ON DARE COAST
Meeting Held at Mays Head;
South Banks Visitors Ham
pered by Ferries

The same shoals that have
hampered Oregon Inlet ferry traf-
fic for the past several weeks pre-
vented Hatteras Island members
of the Dare Coast Pirate Jamboree
steering committee from attending
a planning meet at Mays Head
Sunday.
A group from Roanoke Island
and the Dare Beaches assembled at
Beacon Motor Lodge however, and
after seeing Wally McCown's movie
of last years Jamboree, got down
to the business of making plans
for the event scheduled to launch
the vacation season during the
week end of April 24-26 this year.
Discussed and definitely planned
were four dances and the usual
caravans or junkets by costumed
pirates to several towns and cities
on advertising campaigns.
Discussed, but not decided was
the Jamboree religious service.
Present to take part in this dis
cussion was Rev. R. w. Turner of
St. Andrews Episcopal Church and
Rev. S. S. Snead of Kitty Hawk
Methodist Church.
Mr.. Snead said in view of the
fact the churches of Dare We're Wis
tied by so many vacationists he
felt that any event which tied in
with the promotion of tourist bust
ness should have the support of
the Churches. Mr.. Turner suggest
ed that the steering committee
may wish to consider as an alterna-
tive to the Jamboree religious
services. local musical pageant at
Waterside Theatre the infamous
pirates being characterized with a
religious phase injected in the play.
During the Sunday meeting Ro-
land Sawyer, ST., was named
transportation chairman.
Wallace H. McCown, chairman
i'll charge of caravans. Linwood
Tillett, Pirate King, heads the
committee on beard growing com
petition and also the bearded mems
dinner. His court will assist in this
activity and also help him make
plans for the bearded mems dinner.
Pirate Queen Mary Burrus Of
Hatteras assisted by her court and
former Jamboree Queens will tbs
year as pre-Jamboree event plan
dinner for the women buccaneers.
To attend the dinner each piratess
would be required to wear her cos
tune.
Dances are planned for North
Banks and South Banks.
The jolly Roger Ball set for
April IL will be the Pre-Jamboree
event for selecting new pirate
king and queen. At this event King
Linwood and Queen Mary will pre-
side as their successors are Sc
lected. The Coronation Ball at
which the new king and queen will
be crowned has been set for April
IS and the Grand Pirates Ball, one,
of the dynamic highspots of each
Jamboree will be held on April %.
Bearded George Buck Mann and
Ras Wescott will have roles in pre-
senting these social activities, while
Mrs. Tom Briggs, George Croker
and John Donoho will collaborate
on decorations.

Any muskrat trapper in these
counties knows that the volume
of traffic now travelling where
there amt any bridges wouldn't
pay the tolls on a seven million
dollar toll bridge. You don't have
to send to New York for "experts"
to come down here and look wise
and talk big and tell us that.
But the State officials can't
think of any thing else to do
when clamor arises for a bridge
except to have a survey" They
had another one recently only to
be told that Alligator River can't
be bridged at so cents a ear for
the traffic that now exists.
Well, there isn't bridge in the
state that would have been built
had the officials built it on the
strength of what a Survey" by
some New York experts would
have revealed. The only bridges
that have been built got there be-
cause there were Governors who
wanted them built, regardless.
Governor ]. C. B. Ehringhaus
wanted toll-free bridge built
over Albemarle Sound, and he
built, it, all of it from highway
funds. The ferry it put out of
business handled only about 20
cars a day at $1.50 each on its
several trips across Albemarle
Sound between Mackeys and
Edenton. If Governor Ehringhaus
had had an expert New York
survey, and which any muskrat
trapper would have as easily done,
and could have predicted an in
come of $50 per day based on the
ferry traffic, the highway commits
sion would have thrown up it's
hands. It probably did balk on
building the Albemarle Sound
Bridge. We haven't had a major
highway enterprise established in
this area that the highway COM
missioners and engineers didn't
oppose, but like the Albemarle
Sound Bridge, some of them got
built because the Governor said
do it.
We are now told three years
after the Croatan Sound Bridge
has been completed at a cost of
$3,OO0,000, it will cost $7,350,000
to build similar bridge over
Alligator River. Granted that the
difference of draw-span would
make 100000 more, it is an in
suit to the intelligence to assume
that the cost would still be double
that of the Croatan Sound bridge.
The experts say that the Ali
gator River Bridge would carry
only 10000 cars year at so cents
each, and it would take ten times
as much to pay for the bridge,
at 50 cents per car.
Well, anyway, they got nearly
10000 cars. year across Oregon
Inlet and it would take a bridge
only about third as long to span
these waters. Wonder what the
experts would come up with, did
they survey this inlet?
The report read last week, for
which the state paid $4,000 car
ried also some figures about a
second bridge desired at Whining
ton over the Cape Fear River.
There they have bridge but
