MURALS IN KNAPP
BUILDING WORTH A
VISIT TO UNIVERSITY
KuehIer's Paintings Will Be Inter-
esfinq To Those Who Follow
States History

The commendable effort which
DR.. Albert Coates and his associ-
ates has put into achieving a
permanent place for the County
Government Institute at Chapel
Hill, and where it's new home the
Joseph Palmer Knapp building was
dedicated last week, is exemplified
in IA murals on the walls of the
auditorium.
These murals, painted by the ar
tist, Joseph Vandeveer Kughler,
who was employed by the late Mrs.
Knapp to do the job, contain life
like figures of so many important
people who have participated in
the history of the state. Mural
No. 1, portrays the meeting OF
Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter
Raleigh, out of whose acquaintance
developed the first English expe-
ditions to North Carolina.
Mural No. 2 shows the First
English Colony fraternizing with
the Indians who are bringing oys-
ters, fish, fruits etc., to the white
men. No. 8 shows Charles II and
his Lords proprietors, with their
ladies, parcelling off Carolina. In
this scene appears Bill Long and
other Lost Colony characters. No.
4 shows an expedition from other
areas moving into Carolina to set
tie the new country.
In the painting of the Halifax
Resolves, noted as No. 5, the first
Dare County figure appears. Mrs.
Dotty Frye is modelled as one OF
the women in the scene.
No. 6 portrays the mad rush
against adverse weather con to
Kings Mountain" which was a
significant battle of the Revolu-
ton. No. 7 portrays the founding
of the University of N. c., where
in VIM. r. Davie participated in
Masonic ceremonies.
A significant historical event is
treated in No. 8, "LaFayette's Wis
it to the state while touring the
south some years after the Revolu-
ton. Here is shown Carolina's
ante-bellum opulence, with the
beauty of the southern women, and
in the background colonial man

lina's position at the battle Of
Gettysburg, with General James j
Pettigrew leading his forces far

Over 800 People Hold Luncheon
in Raleigh Wednesday Rec
ognizing His Achievements

Gov. Luther H. Hodges was hon
ored in Raleigh Wednesday night
"by citizens grateful for the d ,di-
cation of his superb talents of
heart and mind to the strengthen
ing of North Carolina"
The quotation was inscribed on
a plaque to Hodges at an "Apreci-
alton Night Dinner" attended
by a capacity crowd of 625 per-
sons.
Attending from Dare County
were Mr.. and Mrs. Julian Oneto
of Nags Head and Mr.. and Mrs.
Victor Meekins of Manteo. Sena-
tor and Mrs. ]. Emmett Winslow
of Nags Head and Hertford were
present. Hyde and Tyrrell were not
represented, but several from
Beaufort attended.
Messages of congratuation ar
rived from all over the country and
the governor was given memory

from citizens Of each of the states

Holt Mcpherson, editor of the

the dinner, which was "hail-and-
farewell tribute to Hodges, COM

six years as governor and about
To take a cabinet most.
Gov-elect Terry Sanford was
among the speakers and joined in
the praise of Hodges.
Sanford reviewed Hodges con-
tributions to industrial develop
ment, keeping the schools open in
the face of integration problems
and reorganization in so many
fields"
"He's put so many irons in the
fire that all I've got to do is to
keep them hot" Sanford said.
Hodges himself spoke briefly
near the close of the program. He
recalled today's meeting between
President Eisenhower and Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy and said that
he suspected the men must have
said. "This Americ of ours is hav-
ing some pains and troubles. Let's
together move forward to help the
nation we love-"
Hodges voice broke as he ended
his speech with the words, "From
tonight I will carry the sweetest
memories of my life."

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
DECLINES FERRY APPEAL
Refuses Consideration Of Taylor Boat
for Run to Sea Level; To Provide
Third Boat for Hafteras Inlet

BY a vote of to 2, the state
Wednesday rejected taking over
the Taylor Brothers ferry between
Sea Level and Ocracoke which has
not operated since Hurricane DON
ma. A committee of the Commits
sion had recommended operating
the ferry on a toll basis, and Gov
ernor Hodges had expressed a
willingness to pay $4,000 for dock
ing facilities and 1925, 900 for the
boat.
While reason for abandoning the
ferry have been given as shoal-
ing as a result of the hurricane,
it is pointed out that the boat has
made trips since the hurricane, and
had trouble before the hurricane,
because of having not been suit
ably designed for the operation.
Much sentiment prevails for the
shorter run to- Cedar Island with
a saving Of an hours time. Senti-
ment on the highway commission
is expressed that not less than two
boats are needed to give adequate
service and moreover that they
should be vessels designed for the
job.
Commissioner James Mason Of
Laurinburg seemed to be spokes-
man for those opposed to buying
the boat which the Taylors plan to
sell, and to not operate any more.
