I FACILITY IN DARE
Beach Group Plans Canvass Be-
ginning Next Week; Seeking
100000 to Begin Con-
strucfion

The undertaking to sell 100000
worth of stock to. secure capital
necessary for building the conven-
ton center and museum at Kill
Devil Hills gets underway this
week end, with efforts being made
to secure this capital principally
from vacation operators in the Dare
Beaches area. Construction may be-
gin in the fall, allowing time for
completion by 1862 season.
This movement follows several
months of planning and negotia-
tons by group representing var
ious interests along the beach, who,
studying the need for a facility
capable of accommodating large
groups, offered a proposal to build
on a ten-acre tract obtained from
Mrs. Diane Voliva of Kill Devil
Hills.
The overall cost is $275,000, with
the remaining amount being bor-
rowed from outside sources, to be
repaid over a 20-year period.
Shares are available at 500 each.
Estimated operational cost an
nually, including interest and prin-
cipal, is 500 900, while anticipated
income first year is $31,S0O being
derived mainly from groups rent
ing the facility for meeting pur-
poses. The center will have ca
pacity for seating $50; 500 ban
quet-style, and with the use Of
sound-proof diyiders, the main hal
could accommodate several small
groups at the same time.
A canvass is scheduled for next
week by proponents of the conyen
ton center and museum, in an eff
fort to acquaint businessmen ant
answer questions pertaining there
to, and also sell stock.

SHOW AT
WATERSlDE THEATRE
STAGED WED NESDAY
June Vail. Guest Singer. Well
Received BY Audience; Artistic
Performances
By CATHERINE D. MEEKINs

Dy VA II CR1INE LIE w lin
An audience of SOP attended the
variety show put on Wednesday
night in Waterside Theatre on Roa-
noke Island, with June Valli, New
York recording star of popular
music, as special guest. Miss Valli
received a big ovation from the
audience following her solo num-
bers close to the end of the show,
but in this writer's opinion her
numbers might have sounded bet
ter had the microphone been omit
ted. The night was clear, still, the
air thin and the acoustics perfect,
making the mike superfluous, and
adding slightly raucous note.
The highlight of the show was
the musical reading of Johnson's
"The Creation" by Paul Gold, mar
rator for The Lost Colony, and
the Lost Colony Chorus, George
Trautwein conducting. The depth to
which the audience was impressed
was attested by the long moment
of complete silence following the
number. Donna Randall Swan,
singing Gun Bel Dir from Puccini's
Madame Butterfly" gave a superb
performance. Marjalene Thomas,
soprano, and George Vassos, tenor,
also gave top fight performance
when they sang numbers from Ger
shwin's "Porgy and Ress." Sandra
Wade singing the comedy num-
Der "Yallar, Yallar Noon" drew
tremendous applause and showed
great artistic ability. Ancy Bor-
ton, soprano, who sat on a rustic
fence and sang the ballad "Black
Is The Color of My True Loves
HAIR was accompanied on the gui-
tar by Bob Thornburg, and theirs
was among the best performances
of the evening. Thornburg also ac-

she sang 1.-THE Roanoke Lullaby" "

DARE BlLLFlsH SCORE
TRAILING 1850 SEASON
BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY
By AYCOcK BROWN


While the billfish score along the
Dare Coast-Outer Banks so far this
season is less than the total taken
in 1860, it is believed that catches
by anglers aboard Oregon Inlet and
Hatteras-based cruisers have boated
more marlin and sailfish than any
other section along the Atlantic
coast.
Through August 80, according to
records maintained by Dare County
Tourist Bureau, exactly 200 bill
fish had been boated from waters
near the western edge of the Gulf
Stream off Oregon and Hatteras
Inlets.
The tentative report of catches
released this week includes AZ blue
marlin, lat white marlin and seven
sailfish. There will be additional
catches listed, catches that were not
previously reported, and also poten-
tally more billfish taken this year
before the seasons final report is
issued on or about November /,
1861.
Of the AZ blue marlin boated
nine were taken soff Oregon Inlet
- and 38 from waters off Halter
as.
OF lat white marlin taken, only
five have been reported from Hat
teras as compared to 141 off Ore
gon Inlet. In the tentative count
some Of the white marlin catches to
be added were caught off Hatteras.
They will be added after the
Tourist Bureau has checked with
guides and shippers Of Hatteras at
an early date.
Seven sailfish have been taken
off Oregon Inlet - all that Were
included in the initial or tentative
report. Several sails have been tax
en- off Hatteras which are yet to be
reported, according. to late informa-
ton received by the manager Of the
Turiss Bureau.

Co. Foresees Vast Development

Of particular interest at this
time is tho. announcement made
Yesterday week by L. s. Blades
JE, President Of the Norfolk &
Carolina Telephone & Telegraph
Company Of Elizabeth City concern
ing plans for a large development
of its facilities serving the Outer
Banks area. One improvement con-
templates doing away with SUBJ
marine Cables across Oregon Inlet
by using wires on the bridge to be
built. Mr.. Blades has furnished this
newspaper with the following state
ment:
We are pleased to report to the
public generally that The Norfolk
a Carolina Telephone & Telegraph
Company has entered into pro-
gram of expanding its facilities
throughout its entire area which
will further supplement its service
in Edenton, HEREFORD, Sunbury,
Buxton, Manteo, Kill Devil Hills,
Moyock, Coinjock and Elizabeth
City. The great majority Of our
territory is quite adequately served,
but there are certain sections of
this territory which do require
additional physical equipment and
facilities to expand the service. It
is to these areas that we primarily
direct our attention, along with the
aforementioned general expansion
Of service in the entire area.
We are happy to learn that the
State Highway Commission is 60
ing to bridge Oregon Inlet and open
this Outer Banks area to q greater
flow Of tourist traffic. The Tele-
phone Company year ago applied
for attachment rights on this
bridge SO that the Telephone Com.
pany's cables could ride this great
span. In the meantime there will
be expansion Of the long line facili-
ties between Buxton and Hatteras
50 as to completely relieve the pres
Isures experienced in Hatteras, Fris-
co and other intermediate points.
In Manteo and the Kill Devil
Hills exchanges we will be greatly
expanded in long line (long dis
tance) facilities 80 as to. reduce the
waiting period for long distance

BILL INTRODUCED THIS WEEK
BY CONGRESSMAN BONNER TO
HASTEN OREGON INLET BRIDGE
Proposal in Congress Would Tighten Burden on
Road Funds; 25% from Park Service Sources
State Funds; Providing 500 from Federal
and 251o from State Highway Funds; Heavy
Tourist Season Comes. Despite Ferry
BottIeneck.

A bill that aims at Fastening
the building of the Oregon Inlet
bridge was introduced in Congress
by Rep. Herbert G. Bonner, who
has led the fight for improvements
for North Cardinals Outer Banks.
Mr.. Bonner has paid several visits
to the area recently, and talked
with friends about the proposition.
He has evidently won the approval
of the Secretary of the Interior
through officials of the National
Park Service.
According to wire to this news
paper this week, Mr.. Bonner's bill
provides that fifty per cent of the
cost of the bridge will be paid by
Federal road funds, TWENTY-FIVE
per cent by the Department Of the
Interior, and twenty-five per cent
by state highway funds. If the bill
becomes law, the only thing to hold
up the bridge would be neglect Of
the State Highway Commission to
provide its share.
Much disappointment has pre-
vailed among citizens of Hatteras
Island over what they. consider a
needless delay on the part of the
highway commission to begin work
on the bridge which was authorized
| by the former Highway Commits
sion during the administration of
Governor Hodges. The entire sum-
mer, the traffic situation on the
ferries at the Inlet has been inn
possible. Recently, the entirely
new highway commission toured
1.-THE area, and saw conditions first
Inland. Some Of the members of the
commission had a bad taste in their
mouths out from the ill-advised
barrage of criticism that had been
Iengendered by the advice Of some
of the local officials who had stag
led mass meeting, and urged the
sending of kilograms and letters
demanding work on the bridge be-
gin at once.
This new commission, recently
appointed by Governor Sanford, is
making an effort to acquaint itself
with the states road needs, accord
ing TO its statements, and at least
one member is quoted as saying
that the Commission is not bound
to carry out any commitments made
by their predecessors. This could
mean that they do not consider
they have to bridge Oregon Inlet
just because Governor Hodges
Commission promised to do so.
For several months, Mr.. Bonner
has suggested that the Federal
Government should assume the ma
jor part of the cost, inasmuch as
the promotion work of the Nation
|al Park Service is responsible in
greater measure, more than any
thing else, for the tremendous IN
fiux Of tourists into the area. Fa-
cilities this season have been over
whelmed with business. Many peo-
|ple were prevented from going to
the area due to the ferry bottle
neck; although enough people did

Aspects of Kennedy's Paris Trip

toned here officially, but
will be a great factor never
theless, is Mr.. Kennedy's
religious background, plus
the fact that his wife, who
speaks perfect French. will
accompany him to Paris.
The General is a type
figure of the traditional
Roman Catholicism Of
France. For the first time he
will be meeting in President
Kennedy a leader from the
Anglo-American side who Is
of his own faith and cultural
tradition.
It may seem a fanciful
suggestion, but it is a fact
all the same that this human
circumstance is Of high I'M
portance. Gen. de Gaulle is
a far more personal head-of-
state-far less concerned by
party ties and far less ac-
countable to cabinet and
other associates-than are
the executive heads of gov
ernment as we and the
British know them. Personal
likes and dislikes have ten
times more meaning-and
ten times the possible con-
sequences for good or ill
with him.

Peace Corps and the Missions

set up before. 1t is true that
no governmental agency has
hitherto tried the plan, but
it is also true that the Amer
lean missionaries have al
ways been loyal to the basic
doctrines of the government
al system of the United
States and the ideals Of de-
mocracy.
The missionary work is of
a wide variety. Catholic mis-
sions, for instance, have de-
veloped among their projects
the setting up of credit un-
ions. Poor people pool their
money and are enabled to
purchase equipment such as
farm tools or fishing nets.
The Evangelical Foreign Mis-
sion Association has 5000
missionaries in 80 countries,
1900 of whom are women
principally tie eachers and
nurses.
There is talk Of expanding
the Kennedy Peace Corps
some day to about 10000, but
this would still be a small
part of the ever-growing mis-
Sionary group of the United
States, which is already above
$4,000.
There is, to be sure, among
some church people today a
bit of uneaSiness about the
Kennedy Peace Corps. It's OBJ
jectiveS are lauded but there
is concern as to whether
churchgoers will contribute
as generously to mission work
hereafter as they have been
doing if they begin to feel
that the Federal government
is taking over this philan-
thropy. Much of the appeal
of the mission groups for
funds has been that the work
done abroad is not only on
the religious side but in hui
manitarian, social and eco
nomic fields irrespective of
religious teaching.
The Peace Corps idea has
many things in its favor, but
it may bring new problems
for the American miSSionar-
les abroad, who, Of course.
will try to be helpful to their
fellow Americans but will
have to steer clear of any
political entanglements as
they render their own kind
of humanitarian and eco
nomic aid.

A Freedom Spirit in Mississippi

under the presSures which
have been expressed in the
past three years." he wrote.
Speakers who have swarm
ed the State citing the United
States Supreme Court deci-
sion as a Communist plot are
having less success as more
and more Southern States
proceed with court orders and
encounter none of the forced
social mixing predicted by
extremists. More and more
MissisSippians are concerned
with the future of education
and progress.
Mississippi, of course, must
work out her own course-as
must every State.
But every State can learn
from the desire of Mississip-
plans to be free and feel
free. The path laid out by the
orderly processes Of law, the
Constitution, and the Bill of
Rights, is the only one which
Americans may walk with

Outcome of Election Called indication
Williams Built q Durable Party Setup

is now the general practice.
instead Of having to struggle
for reelection every two
years. 1t is felt also that the
legislative districts can now
be reapportioned to give the
cities a greater and more
Just share of power.
Republicans often express
fear that such changes auto
matically reinforce the Demo-
cratic Party. Yet it is equally
possible that the behavior Of
very conservative legislatures
dominated by Republicans
from rural areas is what
drives the city voters into the
arms of Democrats running
for Statewide office or
nationally.
Both United States Sena-
tors from Michigan are now
Democrats, as well as the
Governor, and party control
of the States educational in
stitutions represents a nearly
complete turnaround from
the early Williams days in
office.
An analysis of the vote by
cities is not yet possible, but
the indications are that it
will be bad news for the new
Republican goal of biting in
to those key areas which did
so much for President Ken
