We're predicted, and with winds
of the force that were calculated,
this hurricane could have been more
destructive by far than any yet
visiting the coast.
What makes hurricane losses SO
more noticeable in recent years is
the value of the property subject
to damage. Huge investments have
been made in property for the ac-
commodation of the hundreds of
thousands of tourists attracted to
the area, business that has devel-
oped into the principal part of the
economy of the Coastland. Three
fourths of the income on which
Coastland people subsist may be as
cribed to the flow of cash from
tourists flocking to the area in fast
increasing numbers each year.
The principal inconvenience to
citizens of the region was inter-
ruption of some mail service. None
went southwark from Manteo on
Wednesday, and none northward
from Ocracoke on Tuesday and
Wednesday,.
Mail from the west into Manteo
was delayed Wednesday when the
carrier, finding no ferry operating
across Alligator River, had to re-
trace and drive around by Fairfield
and Engelhard, causing a two-hour
delay in reaching Manteo.
RID. mail on Roanoke Island
was delayed until noon and after
due to this late arrival of morning
mail, but Mrs. Helen Midget, sub
stitute carrier, obligingly waited
until the eastbound mail truck ar
rived, and in the meantime, due
to arrival of mail from the north
was able to deliver much mail to
her patrons, "a hours ahead OF

HIGH SCHOOL PTA
TO MEET TUESDAY, SEPT. 26

The Rev. Harold Leatherman Of
Manteo, president of the Manteo
High School PTA, wishes to remind
parents of the following:
September is a reminder that
Summer has past and is now time
to begin our activities for the fall
and winter.
One of the activities is that of
the new school year and meetings
related to same.
The first Parent Teacher Associ-
alton meeting of Manteo High
School will be held on Tuesday,
September 26, at 8 pm. This is a
plea to all the parents to attend
this meeting. We talk about the
need for better education, better
schools and better opportunities for
our children. However, we fail to
manifest real interest in achiev-
ing these goals. If we are really
concerned about our schools and
children we should support the
P.T.A. 1t is rather discouraging to
have fifteen or twenty parents pre-
sent for meeting. In fact, it is
embarrassing to invite a speaker
who travels several hundred miles
and have such a small number pre-
sent. The schools will never be able
to do their best without the support
of the community.
AS president of the Manteo High
School P.T.A. ! urge you to lend it
your support"
Following the meeting, a receipt
ion for the teachers will be held in
the school cafeteria.

DRIVER EXAMINATIONS IN
N. C. ARE COMMENDED

Drivers License Examiner, Mack
Gray of Manteo, calls attention to
the following important item touch
ing on highway safety in North
Carolina:
The North Carolina Motor We
hicles Departments Driver Licens-
ing Division led the entire nation
last year in driver examination,
driver licensing and driver control,
according to the American Associa-
ton of Motor Vehicle Administra-
tors. 1t was the sixth such honor
in row for the Tar Heel license
men who were rated just a single
point short of perfection.
A panel of traffic experts, evalu-
ating the performance of all fifty
states, gave SO points to North
Carolina. A grade of IS is neces-
sary to put state in the running
for AAMVA's coveted achieve
ment Award. Only fifteen other
states and the District of Columbia
made the 1860 listing. North Caro-
lina's closes competitor in the point
totals was New Jersey with "a.
The other states with their scores
included Oregon 81, d. C. "a, Ohio
"a, Minnesota 90, Illinois 81, Cali
fornia 80, Alabama 80, Pennsyl-
vania SO, Georgia S8, Florida 81,
South Carolina sc, Texas IS and
Arizona IS.
Elton r. Peele, Director of the
Driver License Division, will ac-
cept the award next month at the
Associations Annual Conference in
Miami Beach.
Driver licensing and control is
one of the motor agency's biggest
and busiest operations. An immense
file. of every licensed driver is
maintained with notation as to
individual driving records. The Di-
vision also issues original and
renewell permits to half-million
applicants yearly and keeps close
tabs on traffic violations and acct
dents incurred by drivers.
Division clerks also mail out
about 5000 warning letters a month
to border-line traffic offenders and
cooperate with other divisions in
various driver Improvement pro-
grams.
There are over two million licens-
ed drivers in North Carolina, which
means a full days work every day
for the Divisions 324 Examiners,
Clerks and Officials.

Dear Editor:
The Boy Scout program is judged
by most people to be worthy or
fganization. The program teaches
boys the american Way" through
the democratic principles of organ
ization, teaching Of skills, opening
doors to vocations, and keeping
alive the pioneer spirit. Most boys
yearns for this type experience
early in their lives.
The boys of Dare County are for
tunate to have had an ably guided
Boy Scout program. True, Cub
pack and Scout troop are present in
Manteo. 1t is true that a Sea Scout
Ship existed there also.
Two plaques have been presented
concentrating the Scouting pro-
gram of Dare County: one was CIV
en- to me when l was moved from
Manteo; the other, recently unveil-
ed in the library, in memory of
Jack Earle.
l would feel much happier to
know that Sea Explorer Ship 1875
was still active and growing, than
/ to have a plaque.
My point in writing is to explain
that a Scouting program will grow,
only where the adults of a COM
munity recognize their response
bility in working for their youth.
One man cannot keep a unit going.
| urge those who recognize the val
ue of Scouting to volunteer their
services. The most fitting remem-
brance Dare County could effect fol-
Jack Earle would be the assurance
that Boy Scout Troop 165 will con-
tinue to thrive. Don't let the Scout
troop fade away as did the Sea
Scout Ship, leaving the dashed
hopes of boys and a plaque as the
only evidences of existence.

EDITORIAL
o PRICE CONTROLS
NOTHING FURTHER has been heard fron

NOTHING FURTHER has been heard from the pro-
test made BY fishermen Of st. Croix to the action Of the Gov.
eminent in controlling the price of fish. The action, in the
form of an order from the Office of Price Control, was shock
ing and could work extreme hardship on the fishermen. Fur
thermore, there was no warning that such an order would
come, nor was this order preceded by any hearings or legisla-
ton by the Senate.
BUT ASIDE FRO all the legal technicalities and nice
ties of the situation, this action is unfortunate in that it leaves
those directly affected with a sense Of Illustration, They feel
Disseminated against, singled out for this harsh & unjustified
action, and wonder whether it might not be best just to give
up the whole effort and let things drift along.
THERE IS NOTHING wrong with price controls. Where
the circumstances Justify, the Government has a duty to pro
tect the public, so that prices do notrun AWAY, and those who
are in a position to do SO, promptly proceed to fleece the pub
lie. But it must be an overall situation. True, fish is caught
but those who fish must 60 out to get il, and must provide the
materials and equipment for their trade. Unless the cost Of
these materials is also controlled, it would seem inequtable
and lopdded to control the end product.
u WHAT OF other foods produced locally and other
wise? What about rent which will soon hit the clouds, and
beyond? What about land prices, and real estate in generalP
All Of these questions should come under some sort Of review
by the Government before any price control is set on any sPe-
cifc item Of food.
PERHAPS THE simple, time-honored law Of supply and
demand should be left alone to work out a solution to the pro-
bem. Perhaps the entire question Of local food production
needs to be studied with a view to both the needs and the
supply.
THE SINCERE HOPE in this corner is that these con
trolls will be lifted promptly, and if they are not lifted, then
those most directly concerned will have an opportunity to be
heard.
