a larger affair for this year.
The CF'U Scholarship Foun-

To begin with, let us review

a bone of contention.
I began that article with

last year by our Canadian

Detroit Mothers
In Gay 90's Fete
Club Members To
Shine On March IA

DETROIT - Believing that
first things come first, the
Mothers Club of Lodge 351
and Nest 318 decided, early in
1858, not to hold it's anniver-
sary banquet and dance and
instead assist in raising funds
to ensure the completion and
opening of our new, beautiful
Lodge Home.
To this end we bent every
effort - cooking, baking, GRO
cheting, sewing, and knitting
- doing everything possible
to assist the Building Fund to
raise the necessary funds
with which to pay off the con-
tractor.
Before we knew it our new
Home was dedicated and
opened.
Thus, with q clear con-
science, we were able to set
aside the 14th day Of
March, 1859, to celebrate
our Fifth Anniversary in
our own spanking clean
home.
We have selected a Gay
Nineties theme for the event.
We are sure that the nostal-
gia Of those days will put ev-
eryons IN q proper mood to
help W celebrate our first big
milestone - the Fifth year Of
our eEistence. There will be,
~ usual, good food for all.
In addition We have planned
4 show to put everyone In the
spirit x the Gay Nineties
Period.
There viii be Floradora

vealed until that evening, plus

INLET DREDGING
JOB SCHEDULED
TO BEGIN 18TH

Col. Henry C. Rowland, Jr., Dis
trict Engineer, in a letter to the
Dare County Commissioners advis-
ed that contract had been let to
do emergency dredging at Oregon
Inlet, and that Nello Teer, the
contractor, of Durham, was ex-
pected to have equipment on the
job on Monday, February 18th.
Col. Rowland, and members of
his staff visited with the County
Board on February 8 and discuss
ed the inlet situation with the
Board and numerous interested
citizens from Hatteras Island, and
the Dare County Waterways As
sociation. The Board was told ap-
proximately $4,000 could be spent
from emergency funds to attempt
to relieve the situation which has
been particularly acute this win
ter because of prevailing low tides.
The inlet channel had filed
during the past year, until ferries
spent great deal of time ashore
and could not make schedules.
Traffic piled up, and the discour-
agement to travel along the Outer
Banks caused severe loss in BUSH
ness.
Another tremendous loss to the
area has been suffered by the fish,
ing industry, where the former
fleet Of trawlers based at Oregon
Inlet had to abandon their work
this year for lack of sufficient
water to accommodate their load
ed vessels.
Considerable effort has been put
out by the County Commissioners
and H6merous public-spirited citi-
zens to bring the situation to the
attention Of State and Federal of
ficials, all of whom have cooper
ated, and it was with some effort
that emergency funds were found
to do this job. Much appreciation
is being expressed for the consid-
Grafton given BY Col. Rowland's
Office toward the solution Of this
problem.

PROPERTY VALUED

County Covered By Insurance
in The Total Sum Of $I04. 700

Four of the older school plants
in Dare County have been APP
praised in excess of the total sum
of $116,3 1888 in value, and the Board
of Education is carrying insurance
on 80 per cent of their value in the
total sum of $104,700.
Three of the plants have been
abandoned for school purposes, and
a fourth is to be abandoned this
year at Wanchese. The other
plants, which are slated for early
sale are at Manns Harbor, Stumpy
Point and Kitty Hawk. The Manns
Harbor plant offered for sale last
week with valuable piece of land
brought bid of only $1,000. this
school building insured at $23. 1000.
The Stumpy Point school build
ing is insured for $15,500 and is
the less valuable of the four build
ings. At the courthouse door in
Manteo Tuesday this week only
$500 was offered by a committee of
citizens of the community.
The Kitty Hawk building is
chiefly valuable for its fine piece
of land. The building is insured for
$32, 200 being the most highly in
sured except the Wanchese build
ing which is insured for $33, 300.
The Wanchese property has a val
liable piece of land.
Citizens of the Kitty Hawk COM
munity, which has an excellent
newly completed school are not re
ported as being interested in re-
tanning the old building but wish
it to bring the high dollar for the
further benefit of the children of
the district for whom the invest
ment through the years has been
made.
