TOURIST BUREAU
TO SPEND $4,000
FOR 4-COLOR JOB
Plans for Enlarged Advertising
Program; Ha+teras Opera
tors Wide-Awake

Plans for expenditure of $4,000
for $4,000 4-page folders adver-
tising Dare County sportfishing
were made at a recent meeting of
the Dare County Tourist Bureau,
according to manager Aycock
Brown. The Bureau has set up a
$4,000 budget this year, getting
for the purpose half the ABC funds
of the county, plus some contribu-
tions from business interests.
Ralph Swain is the newly elected
chairman of the Bureau.
To achieve a goal of stepped up
contributions from business inter-
ests an educational and public re-
lations committee was appointed to
sell the idea to people of Dare
County who derive their livlihood
primarily from the vacation busi-
ness on the work the Tourist Bu-
reau is doing.
The Board also appointed COM
munity representatives as contacts
for the Tourist Bureau assistant
manager in a proposed drive this
winter to obtain pledges and invest
ments. The Representatives named:
Bill Dillon, Buxton; Scotty Gibson,
Hatteras; Ted Wood and Mrs.
Elizabeth Baum, Kitty Hawk; Mrs.
Jewell Scarborough and Mrs. Mar
gle Sides, Nags Head; and, Keith
Fearing and Ralph Swain. Manteo.
A report of the financial stand
ing of the 1859 Pirates Jamboree
reflected that approximately $500
was in the treasury plus certain
souvenir stock.
At the Tourist Bureau meeting
Vice Chairman Bill Dillon of Bux-
ton said Hatteras vacation opera
tors are considerating employment
of a photographer-writer to cover
fish catches or other newsworthy
publicity stories. He indicated tine
general idea is to have available
at all times a person to make pic
lures or write stories for home
town newspapers of persons visit
ing the area.
He was advised by the Board that
while the Tourist Bureau under its
present financial budget could not
assign a person exclusively to the
Hatteras area for covering ali items
of hometown news interest, that
the Bureau would cooperate in
every way possible to help dis
seminate on a national scale the
more important newspictures and
news stories, as well as any pic
lures provided for hometown pub
lication.
The reports We're discussed and
approved by board members pres
ent which included the following
persons: Chairman Swain, Vice
Chairman Bill Dillon, Buxton; Ted
Wood, Kitty Hawk; L. L. Swain
Keith Fearing, E. E. Meekins and
w. H. McCown, Manteo; Melvin
Daniels, Wanchese; Dick Jordan
Nags Head and Tom Briggs OF
Kill Devil Hills. Also present were
Mrs. Elnora Preston of Nags Head
secretary-treasurer to the board
and Mrs. Sarah Owens, assistant
to the manager and news direc-
tor.
