Westinghouse Fourth Episode
Now Showing; Available For
Other Groups

BUXTON.-Fourth of Westing-
house Broadcasting Company's
series of twelve episodes of the
Civil War entitled "Search for the
Monitor" was broadcast over the
company's nationwide network last
month and the half-hour film is
showing on Hatteras Island this
week through courtesy of the COM
pany, William Kaland, it's program
director and 1t. Cdr. James F.
Toner, commander of the U. S..
Naval Base at Cape Hatteras.
Navy, Coast Guard and National
Park Service personnel and other
residents of the Island who coop
Grated in the staging of the show
here Ia months ago, including
Hallas Foster of Hatteras, whose
boat was chartered for the explor-
alton, have been invited by COM
mander Toner to see the show, run
off nightly in connection with his
stations regular movie service. The
film was pesented by the company
to Ben Dixon MacNeill whose book,
The Hatterasman, was used as
basis and background for episode.
Announcement of the series of
television broadcasts has been mad
in page advertisements in most Of
the major national magazine and
the showing of it here has been
eagerly anticipated, especially by
those who took part in it's produc-
ton. None of the Westinghouse sta
tions normally reach this area but
the series has been widely COM
mented upon by letters received
here. On the way 10 the first show
ing Mrs. Toner received a note
from her brother in California who
had witnessed the show in his home.
Associated with Mr.. Kaland in
the production on the series is Roy
Meredith, well known author and
producer who owns most of cele-
bated Brady Photographic plates
of the Civil War. Brady photo
graphed the Monitor and its crew
before its departure from Brook
lyn Navy Yard where it was built.
These and other photographs of
the period are brought to life in
the production.
Kaland and Meredith came to
Cape Hatteras just after the Octo-
Der hurricane last year, bringing
with them a truck load of photo
graphic equipment, photographers
and divers. Weather was unpro-
pitious during most of the two
weeks they remained here but they
worked manfully against heavy
odds. The picture begins with a
magnificent shot of the Lighthouse
and it is one that should become
rarity: it was done just after
the storm ripped the roof from the

the children made up the settle

That was place for children!
There was a small school in the
old horse shed and the families
paid for the services of a teacher
from the mainland and took turns
boarding her. Elsie, Martha, and
Iva Wyche were living with their
grandparents, Keeper and Mrs.
James Howard, since the death Of
their mother. Elsie was IA that
year. They were particularly ex-
cited this Christmas of 1899 be-
cause their father, Rev. L. o.
Wyche, a preacher on the Core
Banks circuit, had come to spend
the season with them. He had made
the long trip by mailboat from
Beaufort to Ocracoke, then a
friend had brought him the re-
manning IA miles by pony cart.
They suspected that tucked away
in the cart there might be Christ
mas presents from the mainland!
Then there were the other chill

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES:
Warns Of Hazards to Holiday Happiness and
Begs Highway Caution and Commonsense

loved ones who can i'll afford to
carry it.
Wives will lose husbands; hus-
bands will return to homes where
no longer the wife will be there to
charm it, and to comfort his life
and to fulfill her sublime mission
for her little ones. There will be
little children, who after these
holidays, whose life will contain
only a vague but ever unhappy
memory of the bitter loss that
clouded their babyhood.
Think, how more people have
been killed as a result of automo-
bile wrecks than have died in all
our wars. Think of the millions
wasted in cars destroyed and what
this money might have done for
education, or for diseased or desti-
tute human beings.
How can anyone who claims to
have normal intelligence persist in
the rockies use of our highways
so extensively built for the enjoy
ment and safety of our people?
And yet it seems with all the
pleading and the warning and all
the suffering and grief that has
come to our land, very little has
come in the way of improvement
in the behaviour Of the man at the
wheel.
There seems 30 be no end, Mr..
Editor, to the slaughter in the
face of all the horrible examplts
and the lessons we see every day.
Five people have been killed in
Dare County this year. Who knows
who will be the next one?

ANOTHER BANK Is
STRONGLY OPPOSED
BY MANTEO BANK
Much Interest In Hearing in Man
+eo Monday Before Bank
ing Commissioner

Strong opposition was offered
Monday before a large crowd
which filled the courthouse in
Manteo on the proposal of a group
of $50 Dare County citizens to
establish the peoples Bank of
Dare" to enlarge the areas bank
ing facilities. The hearing lasted
three hours.
The Bank of Manteo, which has
been alone in the field for 81 years,
had four attorneys and numerous
citizens to appear in it's behalf to
argue that the facilities are ade-
quate and the banking commission
should not permit another bank to
come in.
The hearing was held before Ben
Roberts, Banking Commissioners,
Deputy Commissioner Frank Har-
relson of Raleigh, and C. l. Taylor
of FDIC, Richmond. Representing
the proponents of a new bank were
]. Melville Broughton of Raleigh
and w. H. McCown of Manteo.
Attorneys representing the Bank
of Manteo were Willis Smith, Jr.,
and James Dorset of Raleigh,
Thos. 'Chears Jr., and Wallace r.
Gray of Manteo.
Speaking in behalf of the new
bank were Mrs. Mabel E. Jones,
R. Bruce Etheridge, Archie Burrus,
Ward Daniels, Jesse E. Baum, j.
L. Murphy, R. D. Owens, Roy Wes-
colt, Roland Sawyer, M. L. Daniels
Jr., David Stick.
Those who spoke in behalf of
The Bank of Manteo were Mrs.
Lucille Winslow of Mays Head,
RAINY Jennette of Buxton, w. S.
White of Manns Harbor, G. T.
Wescott, w. C. Foreman, CASTOR
Mann, Bobby Owens, Geo. Croker,
w. B. Fearing, and Frank Turner,
and w. R. Pearce.
The group supporting a new
bank contends there is ample need
for another lending agency, in that
several times more money is bor-
rowed away from home than is
loaned by the Manteo Bank, which
has about three quarters of a mil
lion loaned out, while twice as
much is loaned in Dare County
from three sources in Elizabeth
City alone. More than this sum,
they contend, is borrowed from
other sources.
The Bank of Manteo, naturally
wishes to remain alone in the field.
It has been prosperous bank, as
Dare County has grown in recent
years, it pays good dividends, and
with only $4,000 in capital stock,
it is valued at five times as much
in reserves, undivided profits, real
estate etc. The Bank itself, is worth
more than the entire property valu-
alton of Dare County at the time
the bank began business, and Dare's
property valuation has grown to
more than 80 million dollars.

Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
The older ! get the more jittery
/ become on the approach of any
Holiday, and more particularly the
Christmas season which seems to
touch more deeply the hearts of
young and old than any other time
of the year. It's because people
have got so careless nowadays
when they get in car, and too
many times cast away all caution
and commonsense.
I wish I could plead with our
people to think about the awful
grief that is going TO befall some
old mothers and fathers this year.
Maybe, some of them will be wait
ing for their children to get home
after a long absence when the cruel
news comes that death has taken
them on the road. Gone forever
will be those to whom they gave
a lifetime of patient love and care.
And there will be some who will
be sitting home happy in the men,
cries of the delightful holiday visit
after the sadness of parting, and
then this happiness will be blasted
when news comes their children
never got to where they were go
ing. Some will be returning to
school to continue their studies.
Some win be going 10 visit other
loved ones, or returning home to
resume their daily tasks-all of
them with pleasant memories, and
gratitude in their hearts for the
bounty of the season, and the good
ness of their loved ones and friends.
Some of these people will be in
stantly killed because of their own
carelessness or through the violent
recklessness of others who have
no concern for the rights and safe
" Of their fellows on our roads,
Some of them viii die lingeringly,
some win live many years, dis
figured, crippled, suffering mis-
cradle Life, maybe burden on

ERROR IN HISTORY IS
DETECTED ON MARKER

HATTERAS. = Drastic editing
with a blow-torch will be neces-
sary before the cast-iron histori-
cal marker set up beside the Hat
teras Inlet ferry slip becomes a
thing of pride to native residents
of the Island who inherit their
history and, on occasion, make it.
So far the new marker, set up
under the direction of the State
Department of Archives and his
tory has occasioned only jeers.
In bold black cast-iron letters
the marker says that two miles
south of that point is the site OF
two Confederate forts, Clark and
Hatteras, erected to guard the en-
trance to Pamlico Sound and that
the forts were destroyed by Federal
naval bombardment on the 10th day
of April in 1861. The marker is
evidence of the Archives aware
ness that the Tooth anniversary OF
the Civil War approaches.
Two miles due south Of the point
where the marker has been set up
in q firm concrete footing would
land the explorer well off shore
in the Blight of Hatteras where the
charts show depth Of So feet OF
water. The site of the two forts,
still identifiable, is west OF the
ferry slip. The Outer Banks, after
rounding the point of Cape Hat
teras, runs east-west.
North Carolina did not leave the
Union until three weeks after the
date Indicated on the marker
State troops did arrive at the In
let on May 10th. Work of build
ing the two forts was begun early
in June and they were surrendered,
after heavy bombardment, on
August Both. Protests have been
lodged with C. C. Crittenden, d.
rector Of Archives. He has not re-
piled but member of his staff
has stated that the matter will be
looked into.
