PIRATE FESTIVAL.
ON OUTER BANKS
AROUSES SPIRIT
Colorful Costumes. Entertainment
and Fish Fries Supported
BY Men and Women

The Sixth annual Pirates JAM
boree on the North Carolina Outer
Banks ended on Sunday, like its
predecessors larger than the one
before. The interest and support
of the women folks, the love of
children for the colorful and spec
tacular have combined with the eff
forts of publicity-minded men to
make the event growing affair.
The Pirates Jamboree, originally
promoted by the resourceful Mrs.
Lucille Winslow of Mays Head in
hope of creating new tourist bust
ness where there was none be-
fore, and thereby get the beach sea-
son going earlier than usual, has
grown in interest as others began
to see its advertising possibilities.
The festival has grown until all
its related activities for the three
day period bring in some $1,000
through the sale of souvenirs, ad-
missions to dances and contribu-
tions. In addition to a large con-
tribution in publicity from the coun-
ty supported tourist bureau, county
funds contribute $3.50 annually to
the Hatteras fish fry which is a
highly praised attraction. Dances in
the Mays Head area are reported
as having paid the Jamboree fund
$4,000 on last week end.
The jamboree got started off
well with a successful fish fry at
Hatteras on Friday. Unfortunately,
a cold rainy Thursday is believed
to have kept many people from
planning 10 make the trip, and the
long period of interrupted ferry
schedules is believed to have COM
bined to keep the event down to
its usual attendance. Without these,
it is believed the celebration would
have been many times larger.
Luckily, there was fine weather,
and much enjoyment.
Belhaven Youth Band
One of the prime attractions at
Hatteras was the youthful High
School Band from Belhaven. The
marching and the majorettes drew
high praise as the hundreds of Wis
itors paused during their eating to
look, listen, and TO enjoy"the splen-
ded performance of these young
Sters.
Leon Jennette of Buxton, a per-
ennial winner in North Cardinals
Pirate Jamboree beach buggy races,
came in first over field of IA
nondescript and beat up jalopies
ut Hatteras Friday.
The races were held on a course
that was hubdeep in beach sand.
Jennette's winning beach buggy
was powered by a Mercury engine
on a 1888 Ford chassis. His run
nerups were Stockton Midget of
Hatteras, driving a 1910 Cadillac
and D. A. Rogers, Jr., of Manteo,
driving a 1887 Ford.
Saturday on Kitty Hawk Bay
shore near Kill Devil Hills, the an
nual pirate battle and landing will
follow an hour-long water sports
show by the Outer Banks Ski Club.

BONNER PLANS
BILL TO HELP
INLET BRIDGE
First District Congressman Meet:
Courthouse Full Of Enthusias-
tic Friends

MANTEO.-Legislation designed
to amplify and speed up the con-
struction of the bridge across Ore
gon Inlet, is contemplated in a bill
to be introduced in Congress this
week by Rep. Herbert C. Bonner.
Mr.. Bonner, told a courthouse full
of friends in Manteo Saturday
night that following conference
with the Park Director in Washing
ton, it had been admitted that ad-
vertising given the area through
NPS has helped to develop the
multitude of travellers now jam
ming the ferries at Oegon Inlet.
Mr.. Bonner said such legislation
should be lift to the State high
way funds, in that it would be ex-
pected 10 pay half the cost of
the bridge. The Highway Commits
sion has been somewhat handi-
capped by its failure to get Federal
approval of the Island road as a
primary highway.
Recently, highway officials, aft
err having delayed repairs for this
road, appear to have given up wait
ing any longer, and Governor
Hodges made an appropriation
from emergency funds for this job.
Work began this week on the hot
asphalt treatment which had to
wait for warm weather.
Mr.. Bonner made no apologies
he said, for the Federal boating
act which was nationwide and had
been created for the safety of hun
dreds of thousands Of people, par
ticularly on inland waters. He said
he could not help the manner in
which the state of North Carolina
had chosen 10 administer the pro-
visions of this law.
His announcement about the Ore
gon Inlet bridge brought strong APP
plause. This project is now being
viewed as the greatest need for the
econmic advancement Of the coastal
area.
Mr.. Bonner said a false rumor
had been spread that he was mere
ly seeking the nomination in order
to the turn the office over to some
other person. This talk he said,
was an insult to the intelligence Of
the people of the First District, who
know that nominations for this of
flee to fill vacancies must be made
by the members Of the Congress
sional Executive Committee, COM
prised Of % persons representing
all counties.

ARLINGTON HOTEL
AT MACS HEAD
CHANGES HANDS
The Haymans Sell Popular Hostel
~ TO Edenton Couple
for $4,000

The Arlington Hotel on the Mays
Head ocean-front is going into new
hands. It was sold this week to
Col. and Mrs. Alan L. Feldmeier
of Edenton for 500, 900 by it's own
erv, Mr.. and Mrs. Dewey Hayman.
The Colonel is stationed at Camp
LeJeune Marine. Base.
Although it is reported that the
Hayman's might have gotten $110,-
900 for their hotel last year, it was
not their desire to relingquish
something into which they had put
II years Of extremely hard work,
and which they had built up into
an institution now unexcelled in
popularity for fine food and COM
Portable surroundings. But last
week Mr.. Hayman suffered a heart
attack and was faced with a doc
tors decree that he could not work
again for many months. This in
fluenced the decision to sell.
A part of this hotel was 10 years
old. 1t had series Of owners. But
the Haymans through the years
had enlarged it until the larger
part of it is newly built. and COM
pleteiy modern. The Haymans as
excellent hosts had built its fame
for good food, and enlarged its
clienbele throughout the nation.
Fifty years ago the hotel was
owned by Mrs. Cassie Morrisette
of Elizabeth City who came down
and ran it for three months in sum
mer. On her death, the hotel went
10 Mrs. A. s. Neal, and on Mrs.
Meals death it went 30 nephew,
Morrisette Pendleton. Mrs. ]. w.
Modiin bought it and operated it
for many years. but sold 1t to the
Hayrnans in 1884.

A Logical Answer

st. Johns Newfoundland and the
Newfoundlanders are most un-
happy about their departure.
Reason for the Yankee exodus is
that Uncle Sam is closing down
the Pepperell air force supply
base which was opened some 20
years ago.
And the sadness at St. Johns
is not induced entirely by mer-
cenary motivation. It's true the
Newfoundlanders are going to
miss the $l2 million a year the
Pepperell base has poured into
the st. Johns economy. But the
Islanders are genuinely sorry be-
cause they are losing friends.
Yes, it's indeed a pleasant twist
to know that Yankees have been
welcome squatters at one spot in
the world where they made such
a heap of friends that their leave
taking has engendered sincere re-
gret.
An interesting sidelight is that
during the Yankee sojourn at
Peppernell, $4,000 Newfoundland
girls married Americans, and still
more interesting, only one of this
great number of marriages has
busted up in divorce.

ious a thing than being a slave
to a totalitarian government.
Here we make our own rules
and we tax ourselves to en-
force them. In a communist
or fascist state the people are
told what to do and have no
free discussion concerning it,
and no choice but to obey.
A self-governing people must
be an adult people, able to
discipline themselves. Fascists
and Communists are like chill
dren who have to be disciplined
from above, usually with a
heavy hand.

EDGAR HOOVER APPALLED,

No American knows more
about the threat of Communism
to America than does j. Edgar
Hoover, FBI director. Repeat
edly he has warned that the lead
ers of international Communism
consider the United States as
the symbol of the free world and
that they cannot achieve their
goal of world domination until
the Red flag flies over this ma
ton.
Mr.. Hoover cannot understand
why a people who approve a
yearly expenditure of $40 million
for military defense against the
Reds are so apathetic about Com
munism's infiltration into every
segment of our American society.
He is appalled, at the anti-antl-
Communists who would stop
every voice raised against the
Communists within our gates.
Said Mr.. Hoover on March l,
1860, in a message to all of Amer
ica's law enforcement officials:
" 1t is indeed appalling
that some members of our society
continue to deplore and criticize
those who stress the Communist
danger. What these misguided
authorities GU fail to realize is
that the Communist Party, USA,
is an integral part of internation-
al, Communism. AS the world
wide menace becomes more pow
erful, the various Communist
Parties assume a more dangerous
and sinister role in the countries
in which they are entrenched
Public Indifference to this threat
is tantamount to national sui
eide"
The anti anti Communists ac'
cuse us anti-Communists of see
ing a communist under every bee
in the land. Slightly exagger
ated, but we confess we take
good look under our bed each
night, just in case.

center fire, hoping to defeat both Cloud and
Mechem. For that matter, every Republi-
can candidate for representative in Ohio will
be under fire in the approaching battle for
control of the legislature.
In event Of the capture of the legislature,
in all probability, the state will be gerry

will favor election of Democratic candidates
for Congress. For instance, the 18th Con-
gressional district is normally Republican.

lily Democratic and Democratic Congress-
man will thus be assured
1t is all portion of the same pattern.
Once control of the legislature and congress
is obtained, the state Democratic organiza-
ton and its ally, the Big Labor Bosses will
write the sort of legislation they want both at
Washington and Columbus.
If you do not want the large cities of
Ohio and their auxiliaries to dictate the sort
of laws under which we live, it is time to
wake up and get on the job. Once the great
cities of Ohio control the legislature Of the
Buckeye state, every small county such as
Morgan, or Noble, loses its place in the sun

Wild Spending Orgy

There was a slight victory for
the economy-minded citizens of
the nation in the surplus of $l.l
billion achieved in the Federal
budget for fiscal go. This was
much larger than had been fore
cast.
What makes this surplus really
look good is that it most Ger
tainly is a great improvement
over the $12.4 billion deficit Of
fiscal SO.
But what of fiscal '6l? Unless
economy-minded citizens keep
their eyes on the Congress and
exercise their voices, fiscal 81
threatens to roll up a deficit
even bigger than that of fiscal
SO.
The reconvening of Congress
following on the heels of the two
major political party conven-
tions, is a serious threat to a
balanced budget for fiscal 81,
instead of the surplus of $4.2 bill
lion estimated last January.
Both political platforms prom
iSed all things to all men. During
this short session, our national
legislators of both parties are in
a contest to see just how much
money they can appropriate
without the slightest concern as
to where that money is to come
from. The true national interest
is being sacrificed to political ex-
| pediency, as Republicans vie
with Democrats to spend, spend
| and spend so that they can elect
elect and elect.
Thoughtful citizens who favor
balanced budget will do well
to communicate their views tC
their Congressman-NOW. That
seems to be the only hope fol
curbing wild-spending orgy.

The next ten weeks are going to be i'm
portant to the future of America. We are
living in a revolutionary age-an age of up
heaval, of abandonment of ancient land
marks-of worldwide strife and daily threats
of war in America and about the round globe.
Americas problems, alone, are sufficient
to sink boat. There is the huge national
indebtedness on which the interest in itself
is three times as much as the entire cost of
the federal government but 80 years since.
We have been drifting into a socialistic
or welfare state in which the government
will take our money and spend it, as the pol
iticians believe much more wisely than you
and | who earned it, can possibly do the job.
We must decide whom to select as leader in
a critical period Of history.
We could discourse at length on national
problems. However, let us consider the Ohio
proposition for starter. The Democratic
organization in the state is said by upstate
writer's to have as its objective, control of
the legislature. Big labor bosses and the
large city vote have long sought control of
the lawmaking body of Ohio.
This year, according to report, they hope
to defeat Roger Cloud, Republican floor
leader who has the making of statesman

Laws 80.
BY Ted w. Brown

Persons residing in regiStra-

in order to vote. Cities with a
population of over $1,000 and
other areas where the county
board of elections has adopted
registration are registration ter
ritory. In such places September
% is the deadline for registering
in order to be eligible to vote in
the November election. Persons
having any doubt as to whether
they need to register should con-
tact their county board of cleo
tions.
Registration in Ohio is per-
manent as long as person votes
at least once every two calendar
years and keeps the same ad
dress and the same name used
at the time of registration. Thus,
woman who marries after
registering must re-register un-
der her married name. However,
if she marries after the closing
date for registration, September
% this year, she may vote under
her maiden name in the Novem-
Der election but not thereafter
Persons who have changed their
names, as we'll as those who
have failed to vote within the
past two years, must re-register
in person. However, those who
have a new address may register
such change of address by mail
on form obtained for this pur-
pose from the county board of
elections.
