of that area might be able to bene-
fit by the service of this, which by
far would be their nearest medical
facility, now that transportation by
ferry has been provided. and there
would be a great reduction in cost
of medical services due to a great
saving in expense of travel etc.
In view of the tremendous in
crease in traffic to the area, the
building of many new homes, there
is strong sentiment on the island
that a modern health center would
be of value to everyone. To the
sense of security and safety with
possible saving of life in emergen-
cy, is added the knowledge that
the savings to the people would be,
on the whole, more than the small
amount of tax added. One man
said he would consider the clinic
in the community worth far more
than the amount of tax he would
pay, even if he never needed it,
because of the general benefit to
his neighbors and enhancement of
all community values.

Students at Manteo High School
will have front row seats Friday
morning, Feb. 81, when some of
their classmates learn the facts
of e-on-the-highways.
Principal w. H. Bunch said the
event will be in the nature of a
INSTRUMENTATION, designed to
disprove the old notion that car
can be stopped on a dime"
Two students, a faculty men,
Der and a policeman will take
turns at the wheel of a specially
equipped car-and they'll bring it
to an emergency stop while trav-
cling at 20, 80 or 40 miles an
hour. Other students will check
the results.
The car is equipped SO that dis
tances can be measured accurate
ly. An emergency signal light is
mounted on the hood and three
pistols are fastened to the front
bumper. Aimed straight at the
pavement, the pistols fire bull
lets of yellow paint which mark
points at which the driver ~ sees
the signal, (2) slams on the
brakes, and 81 stops the car.
The automobile is supplied by
Nationwide Insurance. A safety
engineer for the firm will ride be-
side the driver and operate the
equipment. Nationwide engineers.
have staged similar demonstra-
tions before more than 5000 stu
dent groups in eastern United
States.
The demonstration will be pre-
coded by a student assembly dur
ing which students will be briefed
on the demonstration and hear an
illustrated talk on the Importance
of driver attitudes. The assembly
will begin at $3.50 am. land the
test will follow about As minutes
later on highway in front of high
school.
Principal Bunch invites any in
terested persons to attend both
the talk and demonstration.

ssSi1th Sense
Yarns Drivers
of Trouble
By Martha Johnson,
Dodge Safety COnsultant

ROASTING some of the fin
est safety records on the high
ways, drivers of trailer trucks
credit much of their driving abil-
ity to the development of a
sixth sense" about trouble on
the road ahead.
Almost any veteran truck
driver can tell of how a premo-
milton prompted him to slow
down, thus saving him from an
accident around a curve or over
the crest of a hill.
Actually, this sixth sense can
be developed by any driver. 1t
merely is an ouigrOwlh of a eau
iious attitude.
Start asking yourself, as you
drive along, what if there is
an accident just beyond that
curve?" or What would l do if
child ran out from between
those parked cars ahead?"
As you think of these posi-
biliiics, you will automatically
become more cautious; you will
reduce your stopping time by
several vital seconds because you
have planned your reactions.
Soon you will notice that this
mental preparation has made
you a much better and safer
driver, too.

LARGE MOUTH BASS TAKEN
BY ANGLERS ON MAINLAND

A. R. Wright and G. E. Adcock
of Durham, using minnows for
bait caught their limits of large
mouth bass in South Lake near
Manns Harbor on Tuesday. They
fished again on Wednesday with
fair luck. Mrs. w. S. White who
reported the catch stated that inso-
far as she knew this was the first
catch of bass made this season.
The anglers also caught some red
fin and perch.
The fish hit only live bait. If
Spring-like weather continues,
fresh water fishes on the Dare
mainland and also in the Colington-
Kitty Hawk sections should be tax
ing artificial lures soon, it was
stated.

munity, then it should be stipulat-
ed in the transaction that when
ever the property should cease to
be used and properly maintained
for community purposes, title will
revert to the Board of Education.
"We would also like to be as
sured through some legal means
that the effort for community pur-
poses is what it appears, and not
what some people claim, an effort
to get hold of the property and
peddle it out at profit by re-
moving the buildings. The financial
responsibility of those who take
on this burden should be esstab-
lished. Are all of them prompt
taxpayers and regular contributors
of money for community better
ment?"
2. eve think that the Board of
Education, in the first notice of
the sale of any real estate owned
by the county, should stipulate
that bidding must begin at some
reasonable sum that is fair to the
county. This would save a lot of
headaches and MISUNDERSTANDING"
3. "a petition has been circu-
lated, and signed by many people,
asking this property be given the
community. l signed it, and several
other signed it, as they have stat
ed, not because they endorsed it,
but to get out of argument and
contention with neighbors with
opposing views. We signed it for
good will but well-knowing that
the community could not afford to
support project that would cost
as much as this one might cost to
keep up. and we do not consider
it a good project for the commu-
nifty. We have a hard enough bur-
den to keep up our churches"
Several citizens have made
statements to the effect that they
do not wish their taxes raised to
support the schools while at the
same time a small group is asking
that school property be given
away. They say the schools do not
now have enough money ON which
to operate adequately; that some
of them are in great need of
equipment; that the Board of Edu-
cation should not accept bids that
are too low, but should advertise
the property again and start the
bidding at a reasonable figure.
Sentiment, they say, should not en-
ter in the matter, and the Board of
Education would not be true to
their obligation if they try to play
politics with individuals or COM
munities by giving away the prop
erty that belongs to the pupils
in the schools. After all, it seems
that too many people handle such
things from the viewpoint of
some grown-ups, and it is now
time to look at such situations
from the standpoint of the chill
dren.
