RONALD PAYNE. ~
KILLED IN AUTO
MSHAP, WANCHESE
Death Occurs at Midnight: Five
Occupants Of Car Overturned
at 10 pm. Near Church

A car in which five young Wan
cheese youths were riding over
turned at Wanchese Wednesday
night about 10 pm. Ronald Payne
II died of injuries, Cary Stetson
q, suffered severe gashes on leg
and thigh. The three other occu-
pants of the car, David Daniels
Is, Richard Scarborough 10, and
Donald Payne, the driver, suffer-
ed bruises.
Twiford's ambulance went to
the aid of the injured boys, and
after reporting to the office of
DR.. w. w. Harvey, Jr., took Rom
aid Payne to Elizabeth City hos
pital where he died on arrival
about midnight.
There was no patrolnan in
Manteo at the time and Sheriff
Frank Cahoon and Deputy D. F.
Thyme went to the scene.
The driver lost control of the
car at the fork of Highway 345
with the Wanchese wharf road,
and skidded a distance of 321
feet, turning over several times.
Ronald Payne, and Stetson, who
had neck injuries and cuts, were
thrown from the car. All the
glasses were broken and the car
is a total wreck. It is a 1856 Ford
owned by the dead boys father.
1t was reported in the commune
ty that the accident followed a
race along the highway, with an
unidentified car at a speed of 40

Dear Mr.. Editor:
saw in a paper somewhere
that another woman is considered
for Treasurer of the United States
to replace Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest,
now in office. Now if it meant
anything more than having her
name put on our paper money, l
would say it is most appropriate
woman be the treasurer. When
it comes to handling money,
there's nobody half as smart as q
woman. Not many of them throw
it away, and most of them will
drive 25 miles to buy something
marked down eight cents.
But being Treasurer is not even
cabinet job, while the Secretary
of the Treasury is a cabinet Off
Ger and he swings around all the
weight Congress will let him have.
Mr.. Editor, I don't see how
there is any chance to expect any
savings soon in Washington. We're
loaded so heavy in debt that our
interest bill is the second biggest
expense of the country. The Fed
eral budget is rs times bigger
than it was 80 years ago.
If men who made two dollars a
day 30 years ago lived now on the
same scale, they'd all have to
bring home so bucks day, after
deductions. Impossible!
We all want security wrapped
up in a package, but no one is
willing to make sacrifices for it.
Thirty years ago, we got along on
a trifling three billion dollars for
running the country, and now it's
jumped to 70 billions. We owe 2S5
billion dollars, besides what we
are going to owe to veterans and
others from year to year. And
now we are letting all our gold
90 to countries which demand gold.
Yes sir, I'd be for a woman If
they'd give her a free hand to
get and hold all the money she
could.
Mr.. Editor, it looks like moth
ing can be done, but / am in IA
vor of creating a new cabinet job.
There ought to be o Department
of Baby Sitting. Of course the
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare wonld want this un-
der its wing, but ] think 1t ought
to have full cabinek status Since

EVANS OFFERS PLEA FOR
LEADERSHIP FROM AREA

Merrill Evans of Ahoskie, form
er Highway Commissioner, in a
speech last week before the En-
gelhard Rotary Club recommend
ed the development of leadership
from the northeastern section of
the state that can go to Raleigh
and hold its own with leaders
from other areas.
"The extent of the development
of this region will be determined
by the energy and vision of those
who participate in it," MIR. Evans
told the club. We have been held
back, he said, because we had
few people, and were far from
Raleigh, aand we have lacked
trained technical leadership. He
pointed out the great value of the
proposed road from Virginia Beach
to Mays Head.
He recommended development of
a sense of emergency to act now
to get this. region moving ahead,
and to get its fair share of roads.
The speaker was presented by
Roy Lowe, program chairman.
Guests included Royden Neal,
John L. Mann, William l. Cochran,
R. L. Patrick, Horace Gibbs, Cole
man Davis, Hubert Watson, Allen
Forest Gibbs, Cecil Silverthorne.
Billy Farrow, Raphael Farrow and
James Emory Midget and four
visiting Rotarians, Borden Nc

Walker, all of Columbia and Billy
Broadfoot of Columbia.

president, presiding.

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES:
Theory in Appointing Women Treasurers;
Recommends Baby Sitter Cabinet Job

dren and turned them over to So
called baby sitters, the situation
has grown into a national crisis.
After awhile somebody will in
vent a machine to raise children,
but meantime the Government
ought to step in, and draft all
people suitable for baby sitters,
and send them out where they are
needed.
Baby sitters are just not avail
able in well-to-do neighborhoods
where nobody need to earn any
money; except now and then some
gal takes on the chore for a
chance to entertain her boy friend
where they won't be interrupted.
In places where you can get baby
sitters, they run in grades, good,
bad and indifferent.
The very small percentage of
young mothers now who stick to
the old German precept of "Child,
Church and Kitchen" leaves it
necessary that the profession of
baby sitter be given special recog-
milton. It is important to train
them, for the whole future Of the
country depends on the quality of
baby sitters today.

OFFICIALS FAVOR A
100000 PROJECT
FOR FORT RALEIGH

With Discuss Possibility for
Elaborate Extension

A proposition for a 100000 de.

discussed Wednesday in Washing.
ton by Governor Luther Hodges
and Conrad Wirth, Director of the
National Park Service. This is in
line with previous announcement
that N.P.S. had been contemplate
ing expenditure of 100000 dur
ing the next two or three years
for the development of a visitor
center, in keeping with a similar
project at Kill Devil Hills to be
dedicated Saturday of this week.
Wirth, in confirming details Of
the conference, said the master
plan would involve:
o Acquisition of another 1925
acres of land for expanding the
historic Roanoke Island site.
. Construction of visitors
center and museum.
. Improvement OF tourist park
ing facilities.
Q Restoration on an improved
basis, of 1.-THE Lost Colony" out
door theater which was wrecked
last fall by Hurricane Donna.
Wirth emphasized the discussion
involved no commitments or de-
cisions either by Hodges part OF
by the National Park Service, but
that the park service was "defi-
nitely interested" in including the
development in its mission &C.,
plans.
That is the name given the
agency's 10-year program fol
bringing all national parks up to
standard by 1866.
Wirth said, however, efforts
might be made to include the Fit
Raleigh money in next years
budget if arrangements can be
completed by then. Either the
state or some private source would
have to provide the extra land
cost of which is estimated at 5000
900.
The federal share would go to-
ward the capital improvements.
Cost of replacing 'The Lost
Colony" theater, originally built
with private and state funds
would be about $4,000 to $4,000
Wirth estimated. If restored, he
indicated the theater would be Of
a somewhat more permanent type
The joint federal-state develop
ment would be similar to what
has already been done at two 9TH

SENATOR AND MRS. WINSLOW
BUY FIRST COLONY INN

Senator J. Emmett Winslow of
Hartford, and his wife, Lucille
plan to operate the First Colony
Inn, which they recently pur-
chased at Mays Head. 1t was own
ed by the late Mr.. and Mrs. C. P.

where the Midgett's made their
home adjacent to the hotel.
Senator Winslow plans construc-
ton of a service station and
snack bar opposite the hotel and
which will be connected with both
the old and new highways. The

PARKING PROBLEM
REARS UP BEFORE
BELHAVEN BOARD
New Rules Designed to Make
Room For Shoppers Now
Problem to Merchants
By ELIZABETH G. WINDLEY

By ELIZABETH G. WINDLEY
Problems arising from enforce
ment of Belhaven's new two-hour
parking law lighted up the De-
cember meeting of the Belhaven
Board of Aldermen Monday. Mrs.
Vonnie Tinker and Miss Sallie
Smith, proprietor of the Adora
Beauty Salon, appeared before the
group to ask that some considera-
ton be given to their patrons, es-
pecially during the weeks before
Christmas. Mrs. Tinker stated
that it is often impossible for
patrons to complete their appoint
ments during two hour period.
. Alderman C. B. Tillman said he
had received numerous complaints
from out of town shoppers, who
felt they were being mistreated by
having to pay overtime parking
fines. Mayor James Younce ex-
planned that the law was passed
in an effort to provide parking
space for those shoppers since the
board had repeatedly failed in an
effort to persuade local merchants
and workers to use off Main
Street parking areas and leave
space for visitors. Mr.. Tillman
said he had not been in favor of
the law when passed and believed
the problem could. be solved with
cooperation of the merchants.
Majority of the board members,
however, backed by the opinion of
Police Chief Bill Clagon, agreed
that the law should not be re-

SEAT ASKS
OCRACOKE FERRY
TO NEW HOLLAND
Hyde Interests Prompt Resolution
By County Board. Seeking
New Route

Little publicity has been given
to the action of the Hyde County
Board of Commissioners resolu-
ton passed this month, calling on
the State Highway Commission to
establish ferry service across
Pamlico Sound to a point near
the Mouth of the outfall canal
which would connect by road from
New Holland.
This comprehensive and strong
ly worded resolution voices ex-
pressions of sentiment that have
prevailed on the Hyde mainland
"a long time. Some of this senti-
ment is the outgrowth of appre-
hension over the growing move
ment in Ocracoke Island to have
their township annexed to Dare
County for the convenience of
citizens who wish to deal with the
courthouse and for other reasons.
The Hyde County Board in their
meeting last week reelected o.
L. Williams their county attorney,
and instructed he prepare resolu-
ton which has been circulated.
The Board had also endorsed the
resumption of ferry service be-
tween Ocracoke and Atlantic. In
the petition for service to their
own mainland, they point out that
the distance to be crossed is only
II miles, or a two hour journey
from Ocracoke to the courthouse
aat Swan Quarter. They mention
there is only seven miles of road
to be surfaced to connect with
U. S. 264. Summed up in the first
paragraph of the petition is the
principal argument for this serv-
ice, as follows:
"This Board is fully aware of
the present and future potential-
ties of Hyde County as an area
where progress should be the aim
and goal of everyone. That the
natural resources of the County
should be and are sufficient to
furnish every citizen, men and
women alike, with profitable en-
ployment. That the fertility of the
soil, which will produce most any
crop useful for food or for pur-
poses most beneficial to man; the
wild life of this area compares
favorable with that of any section
of the State or even the nation;
the numerous lakes, creeks, rivers
and Pamlico Sound are rich in fish,
oysters, shrimp, and an abundance
of seafood, both for hofe consump-
ton and for foreign markets; that
every section of Hyde County
should have ample opportunity
to participate i n every natural
resource of the County with
out the nvenience now
existing between the mainland
and Ocracoke Island and that the
established routes of travel be-
tween the mainland and Ocracoke
Island range in distance from 1853
miles to ITS miles via Manteo, cross
ing Oregon Inlet, Hatteras, cross
ing Hatteras Inlet, then a travel
OF some IL to IA miles from Hat
teras Inlet to the village of Ocra-
coke That although Ocracoke is
a part of Hyde County, the resi-
dents there have to travel approx
mately ITS miles to the Court
House in Swan Quarter. That so
far as this Board has any knowl-
edge, the citizens of no other
county in the State are compelled
to travel that distance to the
County seat to attend to any BUSH
ness in their respective Court
Houses.
