IN ACCIDENT MONDAY

Armelle Daniels, seven-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. C.
Daniels, Jr., of Wanchese, is re-
operating at her home from in
juries received late Monday after
noon in an accident at her home.
It is reported that the little girl,
in a spirit of fun, climbed on the
hood of an automobile being driven
into the yard by her half-brcther,
Charles Greet, Manteo High School
senior, before he could stop the
vehicle. She slipped and fell and
a wheel of the car, which was for
tunately in slow motion, passed
over her left arm and leg. She was
taken to Memorial Clinic in Man
teo, where DR.. w. w. Harvey, Jr.,
administered to her injuries, then
sent her to a bone specialist in
Portsmouth, Va. Her left leg was
lacerated and required eight
stitches, and her left arm was
broken at the elbow. After receiv-
ing treatment she was allowed to
return home.

JAMBOREE BOOKED
FOR DARE COAST;
CONTROL ASSURED

Despite complaints of visitors
"rowdyism," the annual Pirates
Jamboree will take place again on
the Dare Coast last week end of
April, the decision being made at
recent meetings of Jamboree pro-
moters.
After last. Aprils slnivaree, COM
plants were raised that "Nags
Head is becoming another Fort
Lauderdale." The reference was to
rough student beach parties that
made headlines last spring.
Exponents of this view wanted
the Jamboree, a feature Of seven
years, discontinued. The event
kicks off the Dare Coast-Outer
Banks seaside vacation season.
Local and state law enforcement
officers gave assurances that the
Pirate fiesta will not be permitted
to get out of hand.
That settled, Dare Coast "Pi-
rates" will begin the growing of
their boards by skipping their New
Years Day and subsequent shaves.
They also plan to attend in cos
tune, at least two travel shows
before that April week end - one
in Charlotte and one in Cincinnati.
The Southern Albemarle Associ-
alton, sponsoring big celebration
in connection with opening Of the
new Lindsay Warren bridge across
Alligator River, may join the jam
boree forces in promoting a long
|er festival. This being the case
the bridge celebration would likely
be held on Thursday, preceding
Hatteras events scheduled Friday

POWER LINES CUT,
500 FEET OF WIRE.
STOLEN ON BEACH
Large Loss to vepco. Result Of
Continuing Vandalism in
Winter Months

In four separate incidents, Vir-
ginia Electric & Power Co. lines on
the Dare Beaches were cut and a
total of 5,0S2 feet of wire was
stolen during the past week end,
apparently by persons familiar with
the area and who possessed work
ing knowledge of the power system.
Three cottages were cut from
service in the South Mays Head
area, those of DR.. r. D. Peck, John
D. Richardson and Robert Wood,
where 932, $50 and 1000 feet, re-
spectively, were stolen. Another cot
tage in the Avalon Beach section,
where service had been disconnect-
ed, brought the offenders a prize of
2,400 feet of the wire. Some was
No. 2 stranded, the balance No. 3
solid wire.
Based on current estimates of
prices paid by junk dealers for
this sort Of wire "copper" the
tidy sum Of $2,260.50 might be
expected in the way of return,
enough to spread little Christmas
cheer a long way.
Vepco Manager George Whitfield
of Manteo stated that estimates of
replacement wire and labor involved
in restoring service may be in ex-
cess of $4,000. Lines were replaced
to the cottages Wednesday morning.
Further damage is expected from
within the cottages, which without
service for an estimated four days,
deep freezes, refrigerators, etc. may
contain sizeable amounts of spoiled
goods.
A complete inspection is being
made in other areas served by
Vepco, inasmuch as the majority
of cottages in the beach sections
are unoccupied at this time of year.
Dare County officers are Investigate
ing, but nothing other than circum-
stantial findings have been report
ed.
The Vepco damage follows that
sustained about month ago by
Pamlico Power and Light Co. of
Engelhard, when approximately a
mile of the neutral wire was stolen.
This began at a section of line
about three miles east of Engel-
hard, on the service running to
Stumpy Point and Manns Harbor.
This wire may have been taken
much earlier, due to the fact that
the type system used, being de-
signed primarily for light loads,
would not indicate Immediately that
a link was missing. No progress
has been reported in locating the
vandals.

CHRISTMAS WEiISKEY SUPPLY
CRlMPED; STILL DESTROYED
NEAR STUMPY POINT FRIDAY

Deputy Sheriff Leland Wise of
Stumpy Point hadn't been long in
his new job when results appeared.
Old friends and neighbors wished
to cooperate, and he learned of a
whiskey still being set up on the
property of West Virginia Pulp &
Paper Co. six miles from the ultra
Christian community of Stumpy
Point. Other county officers We're
apprised of the find, and all moved
in on the equipment, to find no one
operating it, but destroyed equip
ment they valued at $1,000 and
they poured out 500 gallons of
mash.
There were two furnaces, boil
err, and three pumps, with % oil
drums, some of which might have
been sold to good advantage, but
all of it was beaten up, and turned
into junk. Christmas will thereby
be the drier. Some people conjecture
that it was owned by a former resi-
dent of Stumpy Point, while some
others believe it was operated by
people from an adjoining county.
Taking part in the raid were Mays
Head Police Chief Donnie Thyme,
who is employed by the county ABC
board and Police Chief Russell
Sears of Manteo.
The last "moonshine" operation
destroyed in Dare County was near
Kitty Hawk, some three years ago,
a small one, which had been operat-
ed but little.

FOR END OF
EFFORT FOR BOMB
RANCE IN HYDE CO.
Large Turnout Expected at Engel-
hard High School Next Thurs
day Night

The vigorous effort that has been
waged by Congressman Herbert
Bonner, and State Senator of Hyde
County P. D. Midget, Jr. as lead
lers of an aroused populace appears
Ito be bearing fruit, and there is
general hope that the Defense De-
partment will abandon it's plans to
create bombing range adjacent
ITO the Lake Mattamuskeet Wild
fowl Refuge near Engelhard.
Mr.. Bonner has been assured of
the cooperation of the Secretary of
the Interior, who opposes the
threat to wildlife conservation the
project imposes. Bonner has the
backing of Governor Sanford and
Senators Erwin and Jordan. Now
he has consideration from the De-
Tense Department.
Mr.. Bonner said Air Force Sec
lretary Eugene M. Zuckert tele-
phoned him to say the Air Force
lis holding up plans for the bomb
range until formal hearing can
be held, after Congress convenes
jim January.
II personally do not think that
there will be a bomb range in Hyde
County, and i hope / am right"
the Democratic Congressman said.
There is q site that could be used
at IT. Bragg, and there is a law
directing cooperation among the
branches of service in utilizing
such facilities"
Bonner had been urging for
mal hearing, to give opponents a
chance to air their views. One
main complaint is that the bomb
range would destroy waterfowl
hunting in the coastal area.
After talking with Zuckert Mon
day, Bonner said he will move to
arrange the hearing as soon as
Congress convenes Jan. 10. Bonner
said he first will confer with U. S.
Sen. Sam J. Erwin, Jr., DING, who
han shown interest in the matter.
lAll parties concerned with the
hearing will be notified, Bonner
added.
u Meeting in Engelhard Dec.
4 A large crowd is expected at a
meeting called for next Thursday
might, December z, when citizens
Yof Hyde and all others interested
may express their views concerning
the proposed bombing range loca-
|tion near Engelhard.
Representative Bonner, who will
lbe in the area as guest of the En-
|lgelhard Rotary Club, will be pres
lent at the meeting beginning at
.|8:16 pm. at Engelhard High
School auditorium. Those desiring
Ito express opinions on the subject
win have opportunity to do so.
headers in the Engelhard area have
been highly aroused over the Air
Force proposal to locate the IA
lcilty in such proximity to Lake
Mattamuskeet as to severely dam
age the waterfowl abundance which
has been developed.
It is also urged that sportsmen
visiting in the area at the time at
tend the meeting and be heard.

like to voice an opinion may write
