NOTICE TO READERS
OF THE
PILOT AND HERALD
AND
THE COASTLAND TIMES

Combined with the Coastland
Times during July and August
will be the Pilot and Herald, the
weekly newspaper of Hyde County
and the Belhaven community. This
arrangement is made during the
process of planning for plant ex-
pansion, and because of personnel
limitations during the summer
peak.
Since the heavy inroads ON our
staff due to military demands, we
have had heavy loss in our per-
sonnet best trained and otherwise
suited to carrying on the operation
of these papers. For more than a
year, Victor Meekins picked up and
carried the load of getting out the
paper serving Hyde and Belhaven.
Other responsibilities have now
required him 10 spend his time
elsewhere and we are forced to
suspend the separate publication
Of the de-Beaufort paper for
two months.

FLAG RAISING AND DANCE

OCRACOKE, June 20. = The
July 4th celebration at Ocracoke
this summer will not consist of as
many events as in previous years,
but everyone is expected to have
a good time. Many of the resi-
dents who are working away from

will be many, many tourists here.
Early on the morning of the

FOURTH OF JULY
is TRADITIONAL
FETE IN BELHAVEN
This Weeks Event Promises to
OuteIass All Of Them,
Sponsors Say

The annual celebration on July
4th, in Belhaven has occurred so
long with regularity that it is ira
ditionally fixed as a community
institution. 1t now comes to be
anticipated by everyone, as a child
looks forward to. the coming of
Santa Claus, as women expect
Easter; or as students long for
Thanksgiving, SO they can go
home.
The business men of the COM
munity, as well as citizess in gener-
al, give unusual cooperation to this
event. At a time when one might
expect many of them to keep their
stores open to harvest extra
shekels, it's the other way around,
and all of the merchants close their
doors, save for cafes and drug
stores which are expected to re-
main open.
For two seasons unusual success
has attended the planning and
carrying on of the celebration, with
the added enthusiasm of the
American Legion Post to spark it
along. Good work was done by the
Chamber of Commerce before the
Legionaires took over.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO READERS
AND PATRONS OF THIS PAPER

This number of The CoastIand

first number was dated. 1t came
from the mind of Victor Meekins,
who in spare time and at night, re-

and put it into play. For many
years thereafter he gave it his
time without penny in return.
We must at this time, express
our deep feeling. of gratitude for
and toward all those people who
have aided it to it's present degree
of success. AS is expressed in it's
editorial masthead in a quotation
from Franklin, its policy has been
one that would tend to drive away
some business, but we seem to have
gained otherwise, to replace that
lost because of the merit of the
stands on public issues this paper
has taken.

GAYLORD CONTINUES HEAD
OF HYDE SCHOOL SYSTEM
Seven Man Board Of Education Quail.
flies and Holds Meetings
As Directed

Tommy Gaylord, for the past
two years the storm center of the
Hyde County school controversy
VIGOROUSLY demonstrated Tuesday
he is master of the situation, and
by the vote of the chairman, who
broke tie was elected Superin-
tendent of the Hyde County
school system.
Voting against Mr.. Gaylord
were Walter Lee Gibbs, Bill Coch-
ran, and Earl Topping, who were
nominated by the people of Hyde
County in the primary last year.
Voting for Mr.. Gaylord were Ed
Bush, Crawford Gahoon and w. T.
Howard, and the tie was broken
in their favor by Gratz Spencer,
chairman of the Board.
Mr.. Bush, a former resident of
Georgia, was the worst defeated
man in the primary last year.
Gratz Spencer, and Crawford
Cahoon were also defeated for
nomination on this Board. The
four of them together with w. T.
Howard, were added to the Board
of Education in a surprise move
by Rep. Dick O'Neal, at the last
minute when there was no oppor-
tunity for the people to protest
successfully.
Mr.. O'Neal had repeatedly said
he would not monkey with the de-
cision of the voters, which also
nominated him and that he would
abide by their will and make no
changes.
The seven-man board met
Thursday of last week to qualify,
and when it came to the question
of electing the superintendent,
split, but final action was post
poned until Tuesday of this week.
Mr.. Spencer was elected chairman
by four to three vote.
People on both sides of the ire
mendous school battle that has
waged in Hyde for the past two
years, thought that with Gaylord
gone, there would be a possibility
of some degree of peace, or at
least a truce. Now that hope
seems to have vanished, and much
resentment prevails that a man
lacking more than half the sup
port of the patrons will continue
in the picture another two years.
