COLORED PASTOR
STILL FIGHTING
FOR THE PULPIT

The case of Collins ct al. VS.
Simms, which has been kicked
back and forth between the Dare
Courts and the Supreme Court
of North Carolina is still as un-
decided as ever. Last week,
Judge Henry L. Stevens, Jr.
ruled that motion for a bill of
particulars be considered at the
next term of Superior Court,
after attornies for the defendant
were unable to make an appear
ance.
The controversial case arose
in 1859 when a Rev. J.hC. Simms
of Haven Creek Baptist Church
in Manteo continued to attend
and preach at the church despite
his custer at a regular business
meeting of the colored congrega-
ton. A temporary restraining
order was placed upon the
Reverend in February of 1860,
prohibiting him from preaching
in the church; and in May of
1860 Judge Hooks ordered Rev.
Simms not to trespass on the
church grounds.
On appeal, the North Carolina
Supreme Court ruled at the
Spring Term of 1862 that the
defendant is restrained unless he
can show that he was elected
pastor of the church subsequent
to II February 1860. The defend
ant, Simms, has made claims
that he was duly elected pastor
at a later date and requested
trial. The postponement for the
decision on a bill of particulars,
will delay trial until October.

jury at conclusion of the May

DARE LICKING PROBLEM
OF POLLUTED WATER BUT
MUCH STILL TO BE DONE
Co+taeers Warned Not to Drink or Cook
With Infested Water Unless It Has Been
Boiled 10 Minutes; Health Department
Adds Three Aides to Speed Check-Ups
By RALPH POOL

A water pollution problem on
the Dare beaches, unparalleled
in the history of the Atlantic
Coast, is being brought under
control by the Dare County
Health Department with the act
i've aid of State health authors
ties.
A staggering amount of work
has been done already, but much
still remains as result of the
Ash Wednesday storm, which
flooded septic tanks throughout
the beach area and spread their
contaminated contents from
Southern Shores to Oregon inlet.
and Hatteras.
Recent rains have helped the
situation by teaching away
some bacterial infection from
the saturated area.
In correcting the situation,
health workers were faced with
the problem of checking an es-
timated 5000 places-hcmes,
hotels, motels, restaurants, SER
vice stations and so on-from
the north end of the Dare beach,
es to Ocracoke inlet. About $500
of these are north of Oregon
Inlet, according to DR.. w. w.
Johnston, Dare County Health
Director. These included 153
places serving the public.
The size of the problem was
emphasized Wednesday by W. c.
Lackey, regional supervisor for
the Sanitary Engineering Divi-
sion, State Health Department,
who has been at work in the
area for many weeks.
Started From Scratch
"When the storm struck" he
said, "there was no sanitarian,
there were no records, there was
no system for coping with the
pollution problem. We had to
start from scratch"
In the intervening months,
thousands of water samples
have been checked and warnings
issued where necessary. Forty
to so chlorinators have been in
stalld at food and lodgings es-
tablishments on the beach, and
more are being installed daily,
at the expense of the establish
ments involved.
Check wells were drilled
throughout the area, to various
depths, and checked daily for
evidences of salt or pollution.
As the situation began to clear
up, the checks were reduced to
once week early in May. Also
these check points have been
reduced to "a.

blem, and salty water may be

TOLL CHARGE ENDS
FOR TELEPHONE TO
BEACH FROM CITY

Beginning on July 1, there
will be no toll charge for tele-
phone service between Manten
and the beach, from Nags Head
to Kitty Hawk. The announce
ment was made on Monday
evening by Lem Blades, Jr.. ex-
ecutive president of Norfolk

graph Co. who addressed nearly
$50 persons as the Manteo Ro-
tary Club observed "ladies

graph. The president noted
that elimination of toll charges
to the beach was but one of the
service improvements being
made as a result of the conver-
sion to a dial system. "Outer
Bankers will now be able to dial
a call, station to station, over
long distance, without having to
contact the OPERATOR" he said.
eve are making a one-qaurter
million dollar investment in our
new system on the Banks" he
added.
The president explained that
Dare County will have 100 more
telephones than Hertford Coun-
ty when the conversion to dial
takes place on July 1. Despite
the fact that there are a few
more phones in Dare, we do net
plan to charge more than our
HEREFORD rate, which is $.25 per
month";" he said. "In other
words, if your phone bill is now
$4.75 per month, it would be
$500 after the conversion"
Blades said. He noted that no
increase will be added for per-
sons using 10 or A party lines.
The presidents talk was
followed by a film entitled "The
Independent" which explained,
in detail, the advantages and re-
search necessary for conversion
to a dial system. The film ex-
planned that the Independent
Telephone Association pioneered
the dial system and graphically
illustrated every facet of dial
systems operation.
Lem Blades III, general coun-
sci for the company, opened the
program with an informative
discussion of Norfolk and Caro-
lima Telephone and Telegraph
Co.'s operation in the state. He
noted that a microwave path
with five towers to Manteo
would be completed by July l.
"a microwave path to Norfolk
should be in existence here by
