PROSPECTS LOOK GOOD FOR 1862.

Many signs portend busy 1862 for the Dare Coast
land not the least is the reacang of the Naval Base
near Elizabeth City where so millions year will be
spent by the Hayes Corporation in carrying out government
contracts. This money will be widely circulated in the
area, many of citizens will find employment with this
enterprise and many others will to the Dare Coast to
spend their money It fortunate indeed that this District
is represented by the Woodworking Congressman who is
able and alert to finding things that will fill needs in our
area Without the vigilance of Herbert Bonner this
industry might not have come our way.

BY EULA N. GREENWOOD

QUESTION :. After nearly %
years of marriage, no children, La
Dor Commissioner Frank Crane and
his wife, Edith, last week decided
to call it quits.
From the hour the separation was
reported in the News & Observer
it took precedence over the bonds
failure as the chief topic of CONVEX
sation over capital coffee cups.
The Raleigh morning daily even
used it as fodder for an editorial -
not the separation exactly, but the
fact that Commissioner Crane is
now living at the YMCA. Said he
shouldn't do it, that the Y was not
intended for well-to-do State Off
Gals, and so forth.
Well, times do change. Agricul-
ture Commissioner Kerr Scott, who
could have bought out Crane and
hardly have missed the money, stay
ed at the Y IL years and nothing
was said about it. Commissioner
Crane stays there IL days and gets
an editorial spanking.
Editorial consistency, thou art a
jewel.
Frank Crane and Edith Peacock
were married on January 1, 1888.
AS a longtime State employee, Mrs.
Crane is almost as well known
around here as her husband. There
are rumors, of course, as to why
they have ended their marriage.
But there is surprisingly little criti-
cism of either party.
More than one pundit put it:
"Well, if the Rockfeller's can do it,
why can't the Crane's?"
The report has it that Mrs.
Crane has been given the residence
at S02 Williamson Drive, one of
the best sections of Raleigh. AS to
what marriage termination can
mean to Cranes political career, no
body knows. Divorce is not frowned
on as it once was. Two modern ex-
amples are Adlai Stevenson and
Nelson Rockefeller =. one for sew
eral years and the other coming up.
If Crane should run successfully
for reelection, he won't be the first
divorced high and able N. C. top Of
ficial in the past 20 years so to do,
THE PIETY BELT "When
the good citizens of New Rochelle
New York, were accused last year
of admitting Jim Crow to theii
schools, they denied it. When they
were taken to court, they resisted
When the judge looked and saw old
Jim sitting there plain as day and
ordered his removal, a solid citizen
of New Rochelle cried: Nobody I'M
derstand our situation. New Ro-
chelle is located in the Piety Belt
that denounces racial discrimination
and has it, too. The law is against
it but the majority of people are
for it :"
The above quotation is from an
article, 1.-THE Case for the White
Southerner" in the January issue
of Esquire Magazine.
Written by Perry Morgan, the
article is mot defense of segre-
cation, but of men who live in q
region where segregation is de-
Tended"

teras National Seashore that day
on Dare County soil.
This, too, was a momentous oc-
casion in the development of the
Dare Coast area.
Appeared To Be Doomed
Although out of Congress in
1910 to become Comptroller Cen
eral of the United States, and al
though the fate of the Cape Hat
teras Seashore appeared to be
doomed, Conrad Wirth, the bril-
liant director of the National Park
Service and close personal friend
of Mr.. Warren, informed Warren
that he believed he could convince
the Mellon Foundation to put up
money to buy land if the State
would provide matching funds.
Later, Governor Kerr Scott dis
cussed this proposition at length
with Mr.. Warren, as well as with
Congressman Herbert C. Bonner
who had succeeded Mr.. Warren
in Congress. Mr.. Scott became an
enthusiastic supporter of the prof.
ect.
The Seashore project was Bit
terly fought by some of Mr.. War
ren's close friends. But Warren did
not waver. for one second, believ-
ing it would turn out to be the
best thing that could possibly hap
pen to Dare County = and this has
already been proved.
At about this time great hue
and cry arose in Dare County and
a few other Eastern counties to
build toll bridges across Croatan
Sound, Alligator River, and Ore
gon Inlet as well as a toll road up
the beach to Virginia.
Mr.. Warren opposed every sin
gle proposition, bucking at times
some of his warmest personal
friends on the subject of tolls.
He said then that it would be
a crime to bottle up Eastern North
Carolina. Tolls already had been
removed from the Chowan River
Bridge, the Wright Memorial
Bridge, and the bridge over the
sound to Manteo. The great free
bridge built by Governor ]. C. B.
Ehringhaus over Albemarle Sound
had just been completed.
Mr.. Warren says that the sole
credit for the Albemarle Sound
bridge goes to Governor Ehring-
haus. 1t is the longest bridge in
the state.
Consults With Umstead
In 1868, while still Comptroller
General, Mr.. Warren went to Ra-
leigh to see his close friend, Gov
ernor William B. Umstead, who
at the time was a very sick man
and in bed at the Governors man
sion.
The net result of this visit was
that the Governor would build the
toll-free Croatan Sound bridge
which today bears his name, the
william B. Umstead Memorial
bridge.
Governor Umstead thanked Mr.
Warren for the strong fight that
he was making against any toll
bridges or toll roads and said
Lindsay, Pm one-hundred per cent
with you and no one will ever say
that William Umstead ever built 8
toll road or bridge anywhere in
North Carolina"
Governor Umstead said in q
public meeting several months lat
er at Manteo that except for Lind
say Warren the Croatan Sound
bridge would have been delayed 70,
