BAKER APPEALS FOR AID
TO BOY SCOUTS OF AREA

C. Alden Baker of Elizabeth
City, accompanied by Mcdonald
Dixon, made a stirring appeal at
the Manteo Rotary Club meeting
Monday night on behalf of the
growing Boy Scout movement of
this area. Mr.. Baker has recently
agreed to head up the campaign.
Club members expressed interest
in giving support to the Scout
movement, and in fact, have given
the local Scout troop liberal sup
port during past years.
Prest. Bob Gibbs, and Wally Nc
Gown reported on a recent trip to
a Rotary Conference in Rocky
Mount. The club voted to send
greetings to Engelhard Wednesday
to the 25th anniversary meeting

ZENO o. RATCLIFF, soft-spoken
Republican leader who is making
his third try for Congress from
the First District, is making the
rounds this week. Mr.. Ratcliff, who
lives near Pantego is the "Mr. Re-
publican" of Beaufort County, and
he stands willing at all times to
carry his load of party responsible
ty. Beside being a well-to-do far
mer and drainage contractor, he is
a man of parts. He has combat
record in World War I; is a Ro-
tartan, Shriner, Chairman of the
official Board of Hebron Methodist
Church and for 80 years member
of the Republican Executive Com
mittee of Beaufort County. He be-
lieves in transferring the power of
Government to State and local
levels: a reduction in taxes and a
balanced budget. He adheres in his
to the principles of
Thomas jefferson that the least
Government is the best govern
ment; and also that although hav-
ing spent his life in farming, he
believes Federal help for the far
mers should be directed only to
help the farmer become self-su-
staining.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Politics is mighty funny, to
have heard the talk a month ago,
we might have thought everybody
was going to turn Republican.
This all came out of the disap-
pointment expressed by some who
had lost out in the primary. It's
like a bunch of boys at a ball
game, who get sore because they
lose the game, but when they
cool off, they find out the world
isn't coming to an end just be-
cause their side strikes out.
Now when we have wiped away
the tears and the slobber, we
know that we won't gain a thing
by giving aid and comfort to the
Republican party, nor by failing
to put our shoulder to the wheel
of the Democratic party. For aft
er all, all we have got down here
in this part of the country has
come through a Democratic ad-
ministration and through the work
of strong Democratic officials and
friends. And I'd like to be first
to say, that by sticking with the
Democratic party, we have gotten
more, and have made more prog
ress than any other part of the
state that l can think of.
No sir, Mr.. Editor, I can't i'm
agine the people of our coast
country being sufficiently I'M
grateful to go back on those who
have stood by US. And you and
know the Republican party has
never done anything for North
Carolina, and there is nobody who
can prove where they ever did
give US anything.
It's a mighty sore subject with
me, when ! think about what this
country has come to under the
Republican party, when we are
kicked around like a hound dog
by a skunk like Castro of Cuba, a

Progress is being made on the
effort to get a IL foot channel
dredged from Hatteras Harbor
through Hatteras Inlet, and the
Wilmington office of the Engineer
Corp has notified the Dare Coun-
ty Board of Commissioners of the
requirements that must be met
before the report on the pending
survey is completed.
Victor Meekins, Chairman of
the Dare County Board says no
tice has been received from Col.
+. P. Davidson, setting forth the
extent of local cooperation that
must be given and stating that,
until a resolution is sent from
the County Board of Commission
ers, the report cannot be COM
pleted. Under consideration are
depths of both ten and IL feet,
and the final report will depend
on the statistics offered, showing
need.
Meekins said he considered this
project one of the most important
on our coast, in that Hatteras is
the principal commercial center
between Beaufort and Manteo, and
its needs are growing rapidly
with the phenomenal expansion of
the area as tourist center. In
his opinion, the county should
pledge resources to the harbor, in
stead of some other projects now
being considered.
Col. Davidson has outlined the
following terms which must be
met:
1. Provide without cost to the
United States all lands, easements,
and rights-of-way, including spoil
disposal areas and necessary re-
tanning bikes, bulkheads, and en-
bankments therefor, required for
the construction of the project and
for subsequent maintenance, if re-
quired.
2. Hold and save the United
States free from damages, includ-
ing damages to wharves, piers,
and buildings, that may be attri-
to construction and MAIN
tenance of the project works.
8. Provide and maintain, at To-
cal expense, adequate public term
inal and transfer facilities, open
to all on equal terms, in the har-
Dor at Hatteras in accordance with
plans approved by the Chief of
At present, the above-listed re-
quirements of local cooperation
are dependent upon the approval
of a project by higher authority
and Congress; therefore, only a
resolution or statement of willing
ness and ability to comply with
those terms will be necessary.
Since completion of this report
is dependent upon our receiving
this resolution, an early reply
will be appreciated.
The Hatteras Inlet project is
one upon which Congressman Her
bert Bonner has spent a lot of
work, aided by several public
spirited citizens of Hatteras COM
munity. Since his entry into the
Senate, Senator B. Everett Jordan
has been an eager supporter of
this project, and recently visited
the area, along with Mr.. Bonner,
in endeavor to speed up its prog
ress.
