Says Large investment and Big
Tax Return To County De-
serve Consideration

Sentiment continues to grow on
the beaches demanding full time
peace officer be stationed there by
the county for the protection of
the property which pays three
fourths of the county's taxes. The
people do not want a man who is
employed under the usual rule of
just giving the job to someone to
help him. They want a competent,
trained man who will give some
thing to the job.
Several citizen have offered sug-
gestions about how improvements
be made in policing the county.
I'VE are not interested" they say,
sin hiring bouncers at public ex-
pense to police dance halls, which
is entirely a private proposition,
and such expense should be borne
by the owner"
Many complaints have been
made by numerous businessmen
having need for an officer that
the three part time officers oper-
ating on the beach in summer are
usually spending most of their
time in dance halls, and cannot be
located when needed.
The citizens of this area insist
that only men with training and
ability for this work should be
employed. They point out that the
police officer is the first person a
stranger turns to for information,
and Dare County's officers should
look the part. They say further,
that courtesy and efficiency is the
best form of salesmanship for a
county that depends for its living
on visitors. Some of these visitors
are mighty prominent people,
mighty sensible people, and some
mighty wealthy. Their good opin-
ion of our area is highly impor-
