FOUR FORTY-NINERS UNHAPPY
NFL Players Raise
Possibility of Revolt

to play with another club, but
not necessarily one in the AFL.
The reason for all four was
the same: We're not playing
enough and maybe we can do
better elsewhere.
All four said they had no in
tentions of jumping" their
San Francisco contracts.
Vic Morabito, president Of
the Forty-Niners. said:
I'VE are not going to release
them. and we're not going to
trade them to the American
Football League"
officials of the two leagues
thus far have stated they would
honor each others player con-
tracts.
In Philadelphia, Acting NFI,
Commissioner Austin Gunsel
said: "AS far as I know there
has been no serious talk Of
players jumping to the new
league. AS for the future,
that takes a crystal ball to see" !"
Gunsel explained that NFL
clubs are in a position to pre-
vent any player jumps before
May l, 1861. Players, he said,
are signed to one-year con-
tracts with one-year options for
renewal.
If the club does not pick up
the option, Gunsel said, a player
is free to do as he pleaseS.
"Of course" the commits
sioner added. anyone can jump
to the AFL, and it would be up
to the club to do something
about it. A contract might be
enforceable in law, and If a
club felt a player was suffici-
emily important. 1t might take
action"

Forest" Millikan said after the
victory over the HoyaS.
Maryland had only a narrow
margin over a shorter George
town team in rebounding. Mil
likan said he hoped that was
because his boys we're out of
position and trying to- reach
over the heads of the Hoyas.
That's often a tendency when
you play a shorter team" he
said.
Bechtle Helps Mcneil
The TerpS had scoring help
from Jerry Bechtle. whose Is
points were only two back Of
Charley McNeil's 1S. The
Hoyas put a stop to Al Bunge's
scoring after the 6-foot-8 CEN
ter had averaged % points in
two games. Georgetown sagged
its defenses. kept Bunge from
getting the ball, and held him
to 10 points.
However. it was Bunge who
broke a 1888 tie with two
straight baskets with about
nine minutes remaining. The
Terps we're much the better
team from that point on. Nc
Neil was hitting with his soft
shots and Bob Mcdonald came
through with some timely plays
and II points.
Georgetown is supposedly
much deeper this year, but only
six players we're used and the
Hoyas didn't substitute until
only a few minutes remained.
Sheehan Leads Hoyas
Puddy Sheehan had his best
night Of three against Mary
land in two seasons, scoring IS
and directing the attack. Tom
Coleman and Paul Tagliabue
were effective of the boards
and in curbing Bunge. The
Hoyas now are 2-3 for the sea-
son and play next at Niagara
Thursday night.
The Georgetown team was
watching film of a previous
Maryland game yesterday aft
ernoon when Coach Tommy
Nolan was informed of the
death of his mother, who had
been i'll for several years. He
coached the team last night.

THE TERRIFIC COST OF GOVERNMENT BY DEFAULT

There is terrific cost when sorry officials get into Of
flee and through waste and mismangemen allow debts to
pile up the people 1t bad enough when ones hard
earned tax dollars lost through wasefu practices but
when debts have been allowed to accumulate and the
people must again shell out to square up.
1t is not fair for the rank and file of citizens, and
particularly those hardwong honest people who have al
ways struggled pay their taxes and whose wishes
for good management and good government
cruel indeed when officials year after year have imposed
additional and unreasonable tax burdens them which
force them to dig deeper down their pockets maybe
when such deprives them of many things much
needed otherwise
Instead of trying to effect economies instead of trying
to out deadwood and waste the tendency the part
of officials too often to let things ride to take the
way out and pass the cost the helpless Taxpayers
It's the old, old story of the blunders of few being
visited upon their fellows Bascaly bad government
down to by default 1t is the default of
many people who best qualified for public service yet
who have refused to accept their share of the responsibility
of citizenship Had the able people in community
accepted their responsibilities from time to time and lent to
their public affairs the benefit of their experience and ab
ty might get into the fix that counties
must grin and endure Beside the terrific financial and
nomc waste stupid selfish and incompetent officials often
through their laundering get the communities of their
ties embroled in misunderstanding, wranges and bitter
fights These result in tremendous loss to the innocent
and handicap for to come whereby all
citizens denied their just right Government by default
is the most costly kind of Government.

CITIZENS WERE PROMISED END OF WASTE.

Last wear the people of Dare County, by resoundng
and unmsakeable majority swept into office Board
Commissioners the belief they'd strive for
county government it's efficient operation and
protection against further tax raiding.
This change made possible and the election of every
member of this Board could not have been effected in the
face of the strong opposition OF the old crowd who so long
had everything in their hands for one thing:
The constant crusade of The Coastand Times elected
this group of them being not what the people wanted
but whom the people finally accepted In hope they could do
worse than the old crowd.
This newspaper did not fear to buck the old crowd
with their many employees the county finances in their
hands, and the backing of what might be called the party
organization which appears to have been somewhat
myth when it to political power But many good
citizens willing to in office feared its power and
would not risk defeat.

made in the direction desired not necessary for any
winning candidate to make specific pledges The people made

GENEROUS HELP GIVEN
HOSPITAL DECORATION

Mrs. Orville Clark, head nurse
at the Pungo District Hospital in
Belhaven, and other members of
the hospital staff are delighted
with the generous response by the
public to their appeal for help in
identifying the hospital. After
reading in this paper of the pro-
ject to provide draperies for the
hospital rooms, Capt. Solly Top
ping, of Rutherford, New Jersey,
sent a contribution of one hundred
dollars to further the work. Capt.
Topping, Belhaven native, keeps
in touch with his home town and
often sends unsolicited contribu-
tions for civic projects.

buted toward the drapery project
are w. H. Calfee, the Matcha Pun
go Garden GLIB, the Mary King
Circle of the Methodist Church, the
American Legion Auxiliary, the

Last week DIR. Winstead present
ed a fifty-pound refrigerator box
to the hospital to provide ice for
the patients. Ebert Midyette
saw the box and Immediately went
home and made a table for it's base.
There are still many things to
be done to improve the looks of
the hospital and provide comfort
for the patients, so contributions
are welcome. Mrs. Clark and all
members of the staff are enthusi-
astic about the effect of these i'm
provements on patient morale and
wish to express their deep graft
tude to all thoe who are in any
way responsible.

CAROLINA BRIDGES
HEARTLAND TO SEA
(From the
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot)

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot)
By directing its engineers to be-
gin work on detailed plans for a
bridge over the Alligator River be-
tween Dare and Tyrell Counties
and for a bridge over Oregon In
let, just below Mays Head, the
North Carolina Highway Commits
sion proposes to make realities Of
long cherished dreams.
Victor Meekins, chairman of the
Dare County Board of Commission
ers, said the effort to persuade the
Highway Commission to build the
Alligator River Bridge was quar-
ter-century old. He dated the agi-
tation for the Oregon Inlet Bridge
back to 1941 when Governor ]. M.
Broughton made the state ferries
toll free.
The Alligator River Bridge will
make it possible for traffic to
move directly from the interior of
North Carolina to the sea by di-
rect routes. Now the river gap
makes it necessary for tourists to
travel around the states wide ell
bows to reach the Outer Banks
matchless combination of sea and
shoreline.
The Oregon Inlet bridge will
close a gap in the Outer Banks and
relate it more directly to the long
stretch of the Atlantic urban re-
gion that runs almost from the tip
of Maine to Norfolk.
Predictions are that land values
will rise on the Outer Banks with
the completion of the bridges. They
may easily do so. Some powerful
new economic forces may be set
in motion. National Seashore Park,
Pea Island National Wildlife
Range and the Cape Hatteras Ma
tional Seashore Recreational Area
speak for the governments nation
al trusteeship of the scenic beauty
of the region.
Local government must exercise
a trusteeship also as land values
rise. For along the Outer Banks
the currents of the sea meet with
such force that at times the ocean
rises to reach for the sky. The
shoreline must always respect the
view.

Other catches made by VIMFA
anglers off Hatteras included: 205-
FOUNDER by Ed Fineman, Lynch
burg; two by T. N. P. johnson,
Richmond, a 165 FOUNDER boated,
and a $50 FOUNDER (estimated)
released; two other Richmond ang-
Ter, Leroy Cohen and Ross Walker
each landed marlin in $50 pound
class. Gerald Lavenstein, Peters
burg, repeatedly caught a marlin
on Wednesday, last day of the
tourney-duel, but details about its
size were lacking.
Blue Marlin Score
Beginning on May 9 when the
first was taken, through June 80,
a total of more than 100 blue mar
lin were taken by anglers aboard
Hatteras and Oregon Inlet based
cruisers. The Dare County Tourist
Bureau is now compiling a COM
plete list of persons catching these
billfish, the addresses of anglers,
weight of fish and whether taken
off Hatteras or Oregon Inlet.
A similar list prepared as in
formation reference for outdoor
editors on the total 1858 catch of
blue marlin was largely response
BILE for development of billfishing
in the Dare Coast area. The Tour
list Bureau list resulted in chal-
lenge match between Puerto Rico's
Club Nautico and Cape Hatteras
Billfish Club. 1t also was used by
Governor Luther H. Hodges and
others having to do with orga-
nizing the Hatteras Marlin Club,
an enterprise which which has re-
suited in many big game anglers
going to Hatteras for the billfish-
ing this year and moving in cruis-
ers worth thousands of dollars to
the area.
Other Fishing Good
By Wednesday of this week
bluefishlng was reported almost
as good as in early June. Parties
aboard charter boats at Oregon
and Hatteras Inlets averaged 100
or more to the boat. "The fish are
running large again, averaging up
to two pounds each," said Capt
Jesse Etheridge.
Donald Oden reported from Hat
teras that in addition to blues,
Spanish mackerel were being tax
en- by trollers and founder fishing
in all waters of the county was
the best of the season. Some of
the boats stillfishing for founder
caught up to 100 or more.
Large Mouth bass fishing was
spotty, (due to extremely hot wea-
ther) but Dream and other fresh
water species were plentiful and
catches good Fishing piers
have been producing catches up to
par and those who have wet their
lines near Roanoke and Croatan
Sound bridges have had fair luck
with trout and other species.
