was introduced by NJ. X. Fearing
during the 1861 session of the
General Assembly. Fearing intro
duced the bill at the request Of the
county commissioners, who had re-
ceived the petition. Prior to the
amendment of H. B. 295, an in
depreciation of the laws then exist
ing would have required Kinnakeet
and Hatteras to vote together on
such a referendum.
Rev. Van E. Cash and Rev. David
Raynor,. who have been credited
with spearheading the vote by the
"dry" forces, have reported that
the overwhelming turnout by those
who opposed the issue was moi
primarily church directed. Numbers
of citizens, who are not necessarily
regular supporters of the local
churches, are said to have cast their
votes against the legal sale of wine
and beer in the township.

Sometimes you could stand in a

wonder if you would be able to get
on board this trip.

never as rough to the man on the
bridge as to the man in the car on
the ferry getting spray all over

1t could be that the philosophy
developed by the coastlander was
due to having to wait a little
longer than the rest of the world

ABOUT A FERRY DOCK
BY B. [. BASNIGHT

Since Governor Sanford cut the
ribbon on the Alligator River
Bridge the more affected parts Of
Dare County have begun to specu-
late what the tangible results of
the elevated highway might be.
Good. However, let's take look
at some of the things that have
been lost due to the spanning of
another of our large bodies of
water. Let's for a moment mourn
the passing Of an aspect of our
lives that was taken for granted,
that is the waiting at the ferry
dock.
Due to the geographical location
of the Dare area, and the relative
ly late comming of such things as
paved roads, bridges and other
facilities of transportation, most of
US remember doing quite bit of
waiting when we started out for
some distant spot. Especially dur
ing the early thirties when the
automobile was available but the
roads (such as they were) were not
so dependable. But time removed
most of these Inconvenience such
as mud and ruts and washouts. It
seemed that about all there was left
was having to wait at the ferry
dock. se
This was a DOWNRIGHT nuisance
sometimes no doubt. But then we
try not to recall the nnisances in
life anyway. Only the more pleasant
things like the overwhelming quiet
when you cut the car engine after
you took your place in line. And
the sound of strange voices and
opening and closing Of car doors.
The water tapping along a shore
line spiked with more cypress knees
than you ever knew existed and it
stretched as far as you could see.
Cameras were brought fourth,
fishing tackle was taken from the
trunks in case there might be a
bass in the adjacent canal.
There were all kinds of people.
The heavily made-up arty set from
summer stock theaters. College stu
dents long on theory. Statesmen
from the big-name companies. The
elderly couple, with the overhead
luggage rack, on the way south.
People with ideas and jobs that You
may never meet in your. normal
sphere of movements. And above
1T all was the rhythm Of the ferry
engines that you could hear some

appreciation for the assistance rem

Mrs. Redmond
Sees jailed Son
Very Changed

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (AP).-
Mrs. Ruth Redmond, a 65-
year-old widow of Yonkers,
N. Y. returned today from a
heart breaking visit with a son
held prisoner in Red China.
"He just didn't look like my
son." the mother reported in
anguished tones as she arrived
at Idlewild Airport.
"He was very. very changed.
When I first saw him, I was
really shocked"
The son, Hugh Francis Red
mond, jr., 43. has served IL
years of a life sentence on a
spy charge. Mrs, Redmond had
last seen him during another
prison visit five years ago.
The mother and others in
this country have made nu-
merous fruitless pleas to Red
Chinese officials for the re-
lease of Mr.. Redmond. But
Mrs. Redmond told a group of
friends who greeted her at the
airport that she isn't giving
up.
Her voice trembled a bit as
she told Of the condition in
which she found her son.
There was a terrific change
in his face and in his eyes.
There was a continuous witch
ing of his right eye. I know
there is something radically
wrong with him"
