HIGHWAY OFFICIALS MAKE
ALLOTMENT FOR IMPROVING
5O-MILE HATTERAS HIGHWAY
Governor and Highway Commission tuesday
Provide Additional Allotment From Emergen-
cy Fund Of $4,000. Promising Start as Early
as Weather Permits; Emergency Airstrip and
Approach Road at Frisco to Be Built.

Highway officials in Raleigh
Tuesday, with the approval Of
Governor Luther Hodges moved to
hasten the re-surfacing and wild
cning of the SO miles of Hatteras
Island highway, now the principal
economic lifeline of this Island

action.
Because insufficient funds had
not been built up in the mainte-
nance budget for the anticipated
half million dollar job, the Gov
erBor allocated a $325,0 supple
ment from highway emergency
funds so that work will not be de-
layed but will begin just as early
as spring temperatures permit the
working of the bituminous COM
position used on the road.
The situation had become grave
in the opinion of Hatteras Island
residents, who feared that the
rough condition of the surface
which had resulted from unusu-
ally heavy traffic, and which had
not been anticipated at the time
the road was built, posed con-
siderable threat to tourist income
this season. Reliable estimates
place the expected number of visi-
tors the past year to the island at
close to half million.
Because of this situation, the
Board of Commissioners of Dare
County have been working quiet
ly over a period of months with
highway officials, urging the crit
ical Importance of this road job.
In addition, approximately one
mile of road serving q families

the bodies of Mrs. Clark, two
women servants and a cab driver
dead in their country estate home
they having been bound and shot.
Daniel Ploranski, 65, the gardener
said he saw cab drive up with

left in the cab. The cab was found
abandoned 25 miles away.

One suspicion is that the crime
was motivated by a grudge. APP

BAPTIST MINISTER
VETOES DISMISSAL
i, FINED BY.RECORDER
Rev. j. c. Simms Returned Any
way Cited to Court For
Raising Disturbance

Rev. ]. C. Simms, pastor of Man
teo's negro Ravens Creek Baptist
Church was found guilty Tuesday
in Dare Recorders Court and fined
SIS for raising a disturbance in
the church and refusing to accept
his dismissal by the official Board
of the Church. The preacher ap-
pealed to Superior court, giving
a $40 appearance bond. "He didn't
have any more business in that
church trying to take charge, than
l had" Judge Baum said.
The same preacher recently was
tried for a similar offense in Cur
rituck Court and was fined $40
and got 30-day road sentence
there. He also, refused to be fired
from a Baptist church at Powells
Point.
The preachers contention was,
although some members of the
church had advised him he was
dismissed, some other members told
him to pay no mind to it and come
back to preaching. Official board
members say the pastor received
no salary but worked under an an
nual agreement whereby he, &C.
ceptd the free-will offerings tend
cred at his services. When end of
the year action was taken to dis
miss him, the church clerk being
one of his supporters, declined to
notify the preacher. It became nee
essary for Board member to dc
this, and then the preacher came
anyway and in spite of repeated
notice that he was dismissed, went
up to the pulpit and took over.
One of the reasons advanced by
wiser members of the congrega-
alton is that they feared if Rev
Simms continued in Manteo his ad-
vice might result in unpleasant
race differences. Such doctrine is
not welcome by either race while
both are living side and side In
harmony and satisfaction. The
Negro race is well pleased with
the financial help given by white
people to their churches and other
good causes.
Supporters of Simms give him
credit for many things bought fol-
the church, during his pastorate
but others say these things were
bought before he came and final
payments were made while he was
here.
A number of witnesses were
present Tuesday and the following
testified: Jas. Edward Moore, Dea-
con who brought charges; Hay
wood Wise, Lydia Pledger ane
Lonnie Gray.
The Superior court trial il
scheduled in May.
Only case tried was Rev. Simms
but the following submissions were
offered with court costs and penal
ties as listed: German w. Cox
Mays Head, no operators license

YOUNG DEMOCRATS
WINS HIGH PRAISE
In Man+eo Saturday Cites Benefi-
eiaI Progress Under Demo-
cratic Administration

The ardor of the young Demo-
Gratis of Dare County was not
chilled by freezing temperature
and high winds Friday night, and
an audience of leading citizens rep
resenting all townships of Dare
County turned out to fill the Dare
County courthouse and hear Con-
gresham Herbert C. Bonner. Many
came away declaring it was the
finest speech they had ever heard
him make, for he not only gave a
good account of his stewardship as
Congressman but gave history sup
ported by facts to illustrate the
progress of Dare County and the
State under Democratic leadership.
At the end of his speech Mr..
Bonner was given a standing
ovation. The meeting was presided
over by DIR. w. w. Harvey Jr.,
president of the Young Democrats;
several county officials were recog-
nized and Rep. Dick O'Neal of
Hyde County, who is a candidate
for the Senate was recognized for
brief talk.
DR.. Harvey announced that all
the candidates for Governor would
be invited to visit with the YDC
in Dare County during the cam
paign.
Enumerating the roads and
bridges that have been built, or
are about to be built in Dare Coun-
ty. the recognition that has been
given Fort Raleigh the birthplace
of the Nation, and the establish
ment of the Wright Memorial at
the birthplace of Aviation Mr..
Bonner mentioned, that these began
with his predecessor in Congress,
Lindsay C. Warren, who also
initiated the legislation leading to
the establishment of the National
Seashore in Hyde and Dare Coun-
ties, the only one in America. He
said he had been happy to have
aided the establishment of this
project which now is instrumental
in attracting hundreds of thousands
of visitors annually to this area.
He mentioned the long record Of
service to Coast Guardsmen, to
veterans and retired personnel OF
the military service which now
number more men in Dare County
alone than in any other county in
the district.
But the most informative part
of his address concerned the man.
ner in which Legislation is begun
and guided through many ups ant

Mr.. Tillett said he had received
a greater response than ever be-
fore, from those who live outside

The recent effort of county Of

all alike, and to make all persons
pay taxes alike, has had a good
effect. Likewise, the listing Of

God Is Calling
You Today

Unto you o, man, l call; and
my voice is to the sons of men.
Proverbs 8:4.
There are some people who
say that our Bible is the white
mans Bible; and not for Color
ed people, but I will tell you,
my people, be not deceived. If
you turn away, Christ Jesus
who died for you, and He is
your only hope for life, you
turn away God; if you turn
away the Lord Jesus Christ for
it is through Jesus, the only
way to God and eternal life. o,
This call is to all the de-
scendents of Adam; to the
whole human race. AS Jesus
Christ tasted death for every
man. So the Gospel porclaims
salvation to all, to you, to every
individual, my voice is address
ed. Thou hast sinned and thou
must perish, if not saved by
grace. ]
Read your Bible. Be not de-
ceived. Get wisdom, knowledge
and understanding from God.
Hath God not made foolish the
wisdom of this world? ] Cor.
20, q.
The danger and evil that is
come upon this world, merely
religion or man-made deligion
won't stand the test. Christian
ity is going to suffer much be-
cause so many of her ministers
and teachers are sophisticated
and self-icentered they cause di-
vision and men fall away from
God. But there is no excuse for
Jesus and the Gospel warns
His people of false Christ, and
false prophets. Matthew a. s.

I know this, that after my de-
parting shall grevious wolves
enter in among you, not spar

bought them and bringing upon
themselves swift destruction. 2
Peter 2:1.
Not only have they twisted
the truth but gone back into
the sins of old Babylon.
WARNING!
Now the same sins that have
caused other nations before
our nation to be destroyed; if
you walk in their ways you
will be destroyed, too.

People, return to God and be

Babylon is falling! Who can
stand before Gods wrath? He
is calling you so you can be

He is telling the people to flee
from the sins of this world, so

God that is to befall modern
