That year Killebrew led the
Southern Association with 20

There has been much waver-

ability to make the grade. but
one of those who has been a
booster is Yost, Harmon's pred

about killebrew before Har-

On several occasions Patterson
was far off balance after miss

RALPH BURRUS WINDS
UP 30 YRS. IN SERVICE
OF U. S. COAST GUARD

NORFOLK, Sept.-After over 81
years of Coast Guard duty Chiet
Boatswain's mate Ralph w. Burrus
60, of Manteo has retired as Of
August 10. His last duty station
was the Lifeboat Station, Virginia
Beach. Chief Burlus has seen the
Coast Guard through numerous
stages of growth during his
lengthy service career. First in
1889, when the Lighthouse Service
was merged, and then during the
years of World War II, when the
service strength was swelled by re.
servists called to active duty and
also by the merging Of the Bureau
of Marine Inspection.
Most of his duty has been spent
on Lifeboat Stations along the At
lantic Coast. There is probably no
Coast Guard Station from Della
ware to Georgia that the veteran
Chief Petty Officer hasn't served
on at one time or another during
his career.
His first duty station was the
Creeds Hill station. Then Caffey's
Inlet, Little Island, Deep Water
Shoals, Oregon Inlet, Roanoke
Marshes, Buxton, Kill Devil Hills,
Mays Head, Cape Hatteras, Ocra-
coke, Toms River, Bodie Island,
Cape Lookout, and even the famous
Sand Hook Lifeboat Station on the
New Jersey Coast. Most of these
stations are mere names in Coast
Guard History now, having been
decommissioned.
Bur1!us stills chuckles when he
recalls the sailors on horseback"
of World War II. He is referring to
the beach patrols on horseback.
He plans to live at Manteo, do a
bit of gardening, and renew his in

DARE BOARD ASKS

Public Landing Area Considered
Essential to Economy and
Progress

One of the most important facili-
ties for the economy of Hatteras
Island is a public airstrip adequate
to accommodate the larger air.
planes, and which would require at
least 5000 feet. This week. the
Dare County Commissioners by
resolution, called the National
Park Service to provide the land,
and the Governor to assist in pro-
viding the Airstrip.
As it now stands, the most de-
sirahe area for the strip is near
Cape Hatteras Coast Guard sta
ton. Other areas do not offer suit
able distance, considering the di-
rection with prevailing winds, and
protection against hurricane tides
which would easily destroy the
paving.
The Cape Hatteras site near the
Coast Guard Station is considered
centrally located in relation to the
principal villages, Avon, Buxton
and Hatteras. Tremendous devei-
opment in this area is expected i'm
mediately, now that assurance OF
an Oregon Inlet bridge has been
given.

Winstead Day" in Belhaven. / had
been trying to remember the cap
ton of a picture which hung in the
office of our family doctor many
years ago and had recalled that the
same picture now hangs on the wall
of the waiting room of DR.. Win
stead's office. Meeting him in the
hall of the hospital one day, l ask
ed him what the caption is
Stumped for a minute, he called
his office and asked Mrs. Howard,
his nurse, to take a look and tell
us. It is simply "The Doctor, but
the picture speaks volumes. 1t
shows, to the best of my memory,
a kindly looking man in a brown
suit with a vest, high topped shoes,
and a heavy gold watch with a
chain sitting beside the bed of a
sick child. The child is obviously
very i'll, and there is a look of con-
Germ and compassion on the doctors
face.
That picture is typical of the
old family doctor. 1t is typical too,
that DIR. Winstead still keeps it in
his office for like the old-fashioned
doctor, he believes in the personal
touch in medicine. His first office,
indeed was contrast to his mod
ern, air-conditioned office of today.
Thirty years ago he set up shop in
the second story of the old Butts
Building, located where the Cameo
Theater is today. 1t was a gray
wooden building designed as a
residence and there was as much
difference between it's interior and
that of the tiled, antiseptic office
today as there is between aspirin
and penicillin.
DIR. Winstead, like most other
doctors of thirty years ago, prob
ably didn't spend much time in
that office. If patient was ailing
to any degree, he sent for the doc
tor and the doctor went. In his
Model T. Ford, DR.. Winstead plow-
ed through mud and dust in all
seasons as far away as Manns Har-
Dor. He counted it nothing unusual
that he once spent two days at
Sumpy Point delivering baby.
Since that first year, 1929, DR..
Winstead has owned thirty-seven
automobiles and has driven an esti-
mated 1.295,OOO miles. He has an
unusual record with that much
mileage, for he has never been in
lvoIved in two-car wreck. Once he
turned over on a rainswept road
and narrowly missed tumbling into

CLUB TO

LITTER ON ISLAND
Committees Appointed For Years
Work; Year Books
Presented

The Roanoke Island Garden Club
held it's first meeting of the sea-
son on Thursday afternoon, Sept.
10th, at the home of Mrs. Fred
Basnight with Mrs. James C. Bar
din presiding. A short talk on the
Elizabethan Garden was made by
Mrs. Edna Bell. Mrs. o. J. Jones
presented the year books and the
programs for the coming year
were discussed.
The following are the chairmen
of the standing committees: Year
book, Mrs. o. ]. Jones; Member
ship and attendance, Mrs. Edna
Bell; horticultural study, Mrs.
Nevin Wescott; flower show, Mrs.
Ruth Cabe; garden therapy, Mrs.
John Peterson; civic Identification,
Mrs. r. D. Sawyer; friendly gar
den week, Mrs. Lena Pearsall;
Elizabethan Garden, Mrs. Leo
Midget; public relations, Mrs. j.
C. Bardin.
Of the five detectives for the
coming year, the one whic h
brought forth the most interest
and Indignation was objective Nv,
"a continued fight against road
side litter and questionable gar
bage disposal" The point of prime
interest was the disgraceful
dumping of the beach garbage on
our Island and next the indiscrim-
mate throwing out of personal
garbage along the roadsides. The
Burnside road and the road to the
Airport were discussed at length.
These matters have been taken up
with former County authorities
and it is to be hoped that when
the present authorities are waited
upon some action will be taken,
for not only are these spots an
eye-sore but a decided health mem
ace.
After the meeting adjourned re-
freshments were served by Mrs.
Basnight, assisted by Mrs. Isabel
Warren and Mrs. Donnie Thyme.
