DARE CANCER FUNDS
NOW SHOWS $l353.lo

With total receipts of $135S.10
the Cancer Crusade falls short of
the $1,000 goal. Mrs. Raymond Wes-
colt reports that several small
areas have been Internationally
overlooked in the coverage of
the county for which she regrets.
Anyone who has thus been missed
and who desires to make their con-
tribution to the cause may mail or
bring their donation to the VEPCO
office where Mrs. Mabel Basnight,
unit treasurer will gladly receive
the funds. Communities not previ-
ously reported are Rodanthe, SO;
Waves, $1S.26; Salvo, $10.75; Bux-
ton, $30.SS; Naval Base, $50; Hat
teras, $S2.26; and Duck, SIS; Mays
Head, $130.61; Colington, $41.74;
Kin Devil Hills, $57.2S; Kitty Hawk
community and beach, $67.5O.
The volunteer workers and the
citizens of East Lake, Stumpy
Point, Duck, Colington, and Manns
Harbor are to be commended for
doubling the receipts when compar-
ed to former years Crusade. The
noticeable drop and perhaps reason
for not reaching the $500 goal is
in the Manteo residential and BUSH
ness area, and the Kill Devil Hills
sector. Appreciation is expressed by
Mrs. Wescott for the excellence in
response by workers as well as the
contributors. She also reminds you

KILLED ON BRIDGE
RESULT OF CAR RACE
George Boyd Latham Of Washing
ton Struck By Willie Midget as
He Approached Crest Of
Croa+an Sound Bridge.

George Boyd Latham, so, of
Washington, N. C. didn't know that
speed happy skunks both white and
black had been using the Croatan
Sound bridge for long time as
speedway without interference by
local officers. He didn't know, as he
approached the high span in the
center of the Sound, Thursday af-
ternoon, that one of these speed
addicts of long standing would
come hurtling over the bridge in a
race in which he outdistanced a
rival doing 95 miles per hour.
Mr.. Latham, our neighbor is
dead, and SO is the young Negro,
Willie Mickey Midget, who ran
into him. Midgett's partner in the
race, Joseph Alfred Daniels, Jr., 10,

out stopping to offer aid, turned
around on the bridge and headed
back toward Manns Harbor, where
the race began. But during the hor-
rible mishap, Mr.. and Mrs. Aycock

cape, for their car, struck both by
Midget and the Latham car was

ing an accessory to manslaughter.
Indications point to a pre-arranged
race between Daniels and Midget,
and numerous witnesses have testi-
fled to observing them travelling at
high rates of speed, that afternoon.
Speeds at above 100 miles an hour
attained on the bridge are mention
ed.
Mr.. Latham, after calling on the
Fearing store in Manteo, and hav-
ing his hair cut by Tom Russell,
said he was going over to Manns
Harbor to call on Stanford White,
before returning to Manteo's hotel
for the night. He regularly visited
the merchants of the area as a
salesman for Suskin & Berry, the
well known dry goods wholesalers
of Washington, N. C. He was
highly regarded in this area.
Mr.. Latham was the son of the
late Andrew and Annie Oden La
than, was born in Washington
November 20, 1911. He graduated
from the Washington high school
in 1929 and had been employed by
SuslSin & Berry since that year,
travelling as a salesman for the past
three years. He served with the u.
S. Navy during World War II on
the Battleship Missouri from the
time it was commissioned until the
end of the war. He was a member
