employe unions or similar or
ganizations as they saw fit.
However, under the direction
of Secretary FIemming and per-
sonnel director. James O'Brien,
the department has issued a
revised statement of basic
policy. The policy declares:
Because employees often ex-
press themselves more fully as
members Of a group than they
do individually, it is the policy
of the department to recognize
employe groups as a valuable
source of employe opinion.
Where such groups exist, their
views on personnel policy or
procedures or other matters
having to do with the interest
and well-being of employees
will. insofar as practicable, be
requested"
Commenting on this new
policy, Mr.. O'Brien noted that
"the policy of HEW is not just
to tolerate employe unions or
similar organizations, but to
recognize them as a valuable
adjunct to departmental man
agement."

TRAWLER PROPOSAL
AROUSES INTEREST
OVER WIDE AREA
Eric Rodgers Tells About Public
Hearing on the Question Of
Closing Certain Areas

The plan for a public hearing
by the Department of Conserva-
ton and Development on a pro-
posal to close certain areas to
trawlers, in the interest of i'm
provement of the fishing industry
has aroused widespread interest,
This hearing is scheduled for De-
cember 10, and Chairman Eric w.
Rodgers of the Commercial Fish
cries Committee of the Board, has
issued the following statement
concerning this meeting:
Judging by the telephone calls,
letters and other communications
which l have received, there seems
to be some misunderstanding con-
corning the action of the CONNER
cial Fisheries Committee of the
Board of Conservation and Devel-
opment with respect to operations
of trawlers within the three mile
limit of the Atlantic Ocean and
within Pamlico Sound.
"The Board of Conservation and
Development has not taken any &C
ton with respect to closing the
three mile limit area and the Pam
leo Sound to shrimp and fish
trawlers. Neither has any such &C
ton been taken by the CONNER
cial Fisheries Committee.
"What has happened is that the
Commercial Fisheries Committee
with the approval of the full board
and upon recommendation of the
Commercial Fisheries A dvisory
Board, has ordered public hear
ing to be held on Saturday, Deem
Der 10, at ten o'clock at the Com
mercial Fisheries headquarters in
Morehead City for the purpose of
hearing arguments for and against
a proposal to limit or terminate
the activities of trawlers in the
areas mentioned.
1.-THE mere fact that a hearing
has been set on the proposal does
not indicate that the Board of Con-
servation and Development has
given its approval to the plan and
is seeking to bring about a change
in the existing regulations. The
public hearing is a matter of law
in which those favoring the pro-
posals will be heard and those OPP
posing it will be heard, and a de-
cision will be made by the Com
mercial Fisheries Committee. subj

EVANS PREDICTS
BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR COASTLAND
Mrs. BurweII Evans Of Man+eo
Named President Of Annual
Tourist Bureau Meeting
By AYCOCK BROWN

A bright future is in store for
the Dare Coast-Outer Banks region
of North Carolina, as well "a other
sections in the northeastern part
of the state to result from the
Chesapeake Bay bridge-tunnel
project now under construction, it
was predicted at Mays Head Sat
urday night by former State sena-
tor and highway commissioner
Merrill Evans of Ahoskie.
Evans was principal speaker at
the annual banquet-meeting of
Dare County Tourist Bureau in
Owens Restaurant, an event which
marked the retirement of Ralph
Swain as president of the organi-
cation and the election of Mrs.
Burwell Evans, Manteo, who will
head the organization during the
current fiscal year. Mrs. Elnora
Preston, Mays Head, was reelected

Oden of Hatteras was named vice.
president.
"Get set now because the big
gest days of development for your
area are Immediately ahead" said
Evans, pointing out that "this po-
tential increase in vacation bust
ness for the Dare Coast will come
with the traffic that follows the
coastal route upon completion of
the Chesapeake Bay bridge-tunnel
project" -
"a minimum of 5000 cars daily
will be using the bridge-tunnel i'm
mediately upon it's competition
more than double the number now
travelling over the bay ferries"
Therefore it is essential that
North Carolina be prepared to
handle that vacation traffic, not
only over us. II and IS, but also

OPPOSITION
EXPECTED TO COUNTY
DEMOCRATIC TICKET

Opposition to the County Demo-
cratic Ticket in Dare as we'll as
its neighbor counties is expected
to be negligible in the election next
Tuesday. 1t is an off year for coun-
ty offices, and there is not a full
ticket in the field. M. Keith Fear
ing, Jr., as Representative has no
opposition at all from Republicans.
Two Republicans mentioned else
where are the only opponents of
the Board of Commissioners.
The Commissioner ticket this
year consists of George Fuller of
Hatteras Township, Fred w. Gray
of Kennekeet Township, David
Stick of Atlantic Township, Law
renee Swain of Mays Head Town
ship, and Horace Hooper of the
Mainland District.

Dinner Will Be Held at Man+eo School; Bonner.
Cohoon and Midget Speakers; TyrreI Shapes
Up As Banner County Supporting the Demo-
cratic Ticket in This Area; Large Vote An+ici-
pated tuesday.

The largest Democratic vote ever
cast in this area is expected next
Tuesday, with many signs pointing
to a tide that is swinging strong
for Kennedy and johnson on the
National ticket, and Sanford and
Philpott on the State ticket. On
Friday, today ,at 7:30 pm. a bar
becue dinner will be served to
Democrats at the Manteo High
school, when Congressman Bonner,
Solicitor Walter Cohoon and State
Senator nominee P. D. Midget
will attend as speakers in behalf
of the ticket.
Walter Perry, of Kill Devil Hills,
chairman of the Democratic Exc
cutive Committee of Dare County
said this week the affair will go
off as scheduled. He has been busy
for several days, working with the
precinct committeeman and he ex-
pressed appreciation for the coop
Grafton received. The Young Demo
cratic organization in Dare County
has been unusually active and
other interested Democrats have
been working in the interest of the
ticket.
Perry deplored the inability to
get any more bumper stickers or
other advertising matter from
either State or National headquar-
tiers, due to the heavy demand
throughout the country which has
completely exhausted the supply.
The tide is swinging strong for
Kennedy and his partisans have de-
manded many banners to display.
Attempts by anti-Kennedy forces
have failed to arouse the expected
opposition. These groups parade
under misleading names, calling
themselves Democrats for so and

of them are inspired by Republi-
cans or are disguised as Democrats
on the registration books. They have
failed to make the Roadway ex-
pected. In Tyrrell County, senti-
ment appears almost unanimous for
the Democratic ticket, and capable
work has been done, headed by
Jake Walker, and numerous other
Democratic leaders who were
strong supporters for Sanford for

CAPT. MARVIN w. HOWARD of
Ocracoke sometime ago did a fine
piece of writing about the glory
of November on the Banks" Some
of our readers are familiar with
it but many more have never read
his delightful word picture of his
homeland as the season of which
he writes is coming in. Capt. How
ard, after many years away from
home, working with the Govern
ment, retired as colonel or SINH
lar rank. He thought he had got
back to Ocracoke for final retire
ment and rest, but repeatedly he
has been called upon to dispense
mis- abilities as a master of drcdg-
ing operations in foreign lands,
having during the past eight years,
taken on long periods of duty in
South America and in Asia.
Ocracoke Island has produced
several men who write with great
ability. We remind you of Cecil S.
Bragg, who recently retired and
is living in Philadelphia, and some
of whose articles have been print
ed in our columns. Another ably
written piece was by Walter How
ard. about the wreck of the Steam
boat Home on Ocracoke Island
more than 100 years ago, and which
we expect to reprint this Fall.
We welcome articles by our ma
tive writer's, for no one can do the
job SO well as one who has lived
in the locale about which he writes
and who loves the region and it's
people. Several people have told
US they have been attracted to
Ocracoke Island first on vacation
trips, after reading Capt. Towards

John Edward Rose 81. Lives
Alone. Cooks. Washes. Keeps
House and Lawn Clean
BY VICTOR MEEKINS

John Edward Rose, "a, who lives
on the "Swamp Road" north of
Engelhard is remarkable man. I
met him coming across his yard
one afternoon with an armload of
firewood as big as l would carry.
He has been widowed for 20 years,
and has lived alone nearly all the
time since, save for occasional Wis
it's to some of his children. He does
his own cooking, his washing,
mows his yard with a power now
er, keeps the house neat and clean,
and his eyesight has not yet re-
qired glasses. He has a 81 inch tele-
vision set, but says he rarely looks
at it except to see the newscasts
regularly each day, for he cares
but little for soap operas.
Mr.. Rose, is known affectionally
in the community of Engelhard
which he visits occasionally, it be-
ing a distance of some two miles
from his home. He was born and
reared in what was a thriving COM
munity farther east, known as
Waupoppin, then much larger than
Engelhard, for in his boyhood,
Engelhard, was known only as Fur
Creek which Mr.. Rose said con-
sisted of a few grog shops. Mid
dletown not far away was then the
commercial center and port of the
area. Nothing now remains. of
"Poppin," as it was generally call
ed, and it is covered with forests.
Mrs. Braxton Watson, the hotel
manager in Engelhard says Mr.. Ed
Rose is a wonderful man, and is
noted for his exceptional courtesy.
He has for children living, Ira of
Belhaven; Theodore of Elizabeth
City; Johnny of Gum Neck and
Mrs. Eunice Spencer of Middle
town, all of whom would like to
have him with them, but except for
seldom visits with them, mostly
with his son, Johnny, he likes to
stay at home to keep his eye on
the premises he established Sc
years ago, and his farm, which he
leases, and which supports him. He
is not welfare subject.
