was interrupted occasionally
by the squeak and swish of a
passing car as DE- license
plate roamed the town trying to
find out what was going on and
where everyone was.
Overhead, on the courthouse
balcony, two dripping Elizabeth
an flags flapped drops of north
east rain water from their red
crosses and the flicks of mois-
ture collected in small puddles,
eventually trickled to the curb
and collected chewing gum
wrappers and an old sample
ballot for their trip to the man
hole mailbox.
There were a few folks out in
the rain, mostly girls in yellow
and green raincoats with brown
bare legs which hoped over
puddles and caught the eye and
imagination of the men and boys
who were concerned with what
was underneath.
There were a few shops open.
Fearing's was dotted with rain
coated tourists who mumbled
self-consciously to each other as
they browsed through maga-
zines. The grinding, whirring,
buzz of a milkshake machine
stirred the chocolate flood of
milk inside a cup at Aliens Con-
fectionery, and a barefoot boy IN
tan shorts and blond hair stood
on tiptoes at the counter and
spun a quarter on the counter
waiting for the contents.
The cryptic clack of typewrit-
ers smashed the humid atmosp-
here of the old Quinn Building
at the Lost Colony office. A
few of the workers wore the
martyred and determined ex-
pressions of folks who have to
work on a holiday, and occa-
sionally one of the girls would
walk to the huge glass window,
gaze at a gaint, gray, t.v. tube
sky, grimace and return to the
lettered black circles of the key
board.
On the road to Fort Raleigh,
the squashed pulp of dead tree
frogs Uttered the highway like
unripened orange peels. At the
theater, water collected in the
aisles and splashed down to-
wards the stage in a miniature
waterfall. The only noise was
the soprano of tree frog and
the muffled sound of a slammed
door as a tourist from the
museum raced for the dryness of
a cars front seat.
Near Croatan Bridge, two
strangers from Ohio wiped the
moisture from their car window
and spread a sprawling road
map over the steering wheel
and dash, then drove away from
the paved sanctuary of a civil
war marker.
The town was soaked mop
of sand. Manteo was smothered
by silence and choked with rain
Nobody noticed that this was
the way it had been 25 years
earlier to the day, when Paul
Green threw the Outer Banks d
life preserver called The Lost
Colony. Few remembered that
it had rained until curtain time.
We only measured life by The
beating, raindrop count of a
temporary northeaster. This
was Roanoke Island on July 4th,
1862.

ROANOKE SOUND
BRIDGE TO BEAR
| NAME OF JUDGE
Highway Commission Officially
Designates Span in Honor Of
Washington E. Baum

Washington Baum, the 81
year-old Judge of Dare County
Recorders Court was given tri-
butte last Thursday by an an
nouncement from the State
Highway Commission that the
Sound Bridge, connecting Nags
Head and Manteo, will be named
in his honor.
The decision to name the
structure in honor of it's pioneer
was announced after a recon-
mendation submitting Baum's
name was sent by the Dare
County Board of Commissioners
to the Highway Commission on
June A.
At that time, Lawrence Swain,
Nags Head Commissioner, stated
that "the highway commission is
requested to honor our most pro-
gressive citizen who, in effect
initiated the construction Of the
first bridge across Roanoke
Sound. by naming the present
Roanoke Sound Bridge in his
honor"
1t was Baum's effort as chair
man of the Dare Board in 1927,
that the wooden bridge between
Manteo and Nags Head became
reality in 1928. The wooden
span was the predecessor of the
present concrete bridge, complet-
ed in 1854, which will bear the
Judges name.
The initial bridge was financ-
ed by a bond issue of $15O,000.
and criticism Of the bridge pro-
ject ranged from "sheer folly"
to Suicidal bankruptcy"
1t was the first progressive
step in an attempt to link the
Outer Banks with the mainland,
but many hurled accusations
that "the county won't be able to
afford a hog through if the
bridge is completed" Critics
harped on the theme that it was
"folly" to attempt the construc-
ton of bridge across 20 miles
of drifting sand and one-half
mile of marsh.
Judge Baum was supported in
his efforts by w. B. Tillett, E.
D. Midget, R. E. Burrus and 0.
J. Jones, members of the Board
of Commissioners Criticism over
the controversial bridge was so
heated that Baum did not seek
reelection to the board.
In 1929, Washington Baum be-
came the first Judge of Dare
County Recorders Court, and has
served in that capacity for the
past 80 years. He was defeated
in an attempt for denomination
to the position in the May 2s
primary this year. A defeat re-
ported to have been caused by a
belief that the ageing judge
would retire before his term ex-
pired, if reelected.
A longtime fisherman and
merchant, the Roanoke Island
native has held numerous public
offices during his career includ-
ing those of Justice of the Peace,
and Mayor and Magistrate Of
Manteo.
Judge Baum is the husband OF
of the late Agnes Jones Baum.
He is the father of Bessie Lane
Love of Wanchese, and Ba'four
Baum and Mrs. Marjorie Wes-
colt of Manteo.

Mr.. Davis, whose long ex-
perience in promotion includes
the management of the radio
program, "Wings Over Jor-
dan," in the 1930's, sees other
objectives which the fair may
realize.
He thinks it will show the
world that the democratic form
of government affords oppor-
tunities for growth and devel-
opment of all segments of the
population.
Mr.. Davis believes 1t will
give Negro people new
awareness of the part their
race played in the building of
the United States, for it will
show the accomplishments of
these people not only in the
last century but even in slav-
cry days.
II will show heroic accom-
plishments of Negro soldiers
and sailors in the Civil War
and in other conflicts.
But the emphasis will be on
many contributions Of.
American Negro citizens to the
fields of modern science, in
vention, art, literature, diplo-
macy, and so on. There has
been so little mention of these
contributions in textbooks, said
Mr.. Davis, that Negroes them.

them.

operator Of q swank Sanders
Millinery shop Of Jackson, was
arrested and jailed here Friday
en- a charge Of disorderly con-
duct following an incident at
the Memphis Airport Restaur-
ant.
Mrs. Sanders was returning
to Jackson by plane from Dal-
las, Texas where she had at
tended a Back to School and
Early Fall Fashion Showing of
Ladies Wearing Apparel and
had a 80 minute layover in
Memphis.
During the layover, Mrs. San
cers went into the Airport Res
taurant for service. The res
taurant was rather crowded at
the time. However, she found
a seat at a table that was va
can't except one chair. AS she
sat down, the occupant Of the
seat = who happened to be a
white man - apparently in an
effort to frighten her, peeked
from behind the newspaper that
Re was reading and growled;
"This is my table. You have got
ia get up. Mrs. Sanders re-
piled that she understood that
the restaurant was maintained
fer the convenience Of all pas
sengers and being a passenger,
she felt that she had a right
to her seat and therefore would
not move. To enforce his de-
mand, the man first called the
waitress and then the Manager
of the restaurant who insisted
that Mrs. Sanders leave her
seat. Mrs. Sanders asked the
Manager why she should relin-
quish her seat. The Manager
told her that the man seated
at the table didn't want her
there and that she would have
to move or else he would call
the officers of the law. Mrs.
Sanders calmly and quietly re-
tanned her seat until the Off
GERS came and ordered her to
move. But, she refused to move
until she was informed that
she was under arrest. Where
upon Mrs. Sanders went along
willingly without offering any
resistance whatsoever.
At the Police Headquarters
she was booked on the charge
cf 'disorderly conduct and fin
ed $25.C0. She was told that
if she paid the fine, officers
would take her back to the Air
port in time to catch her plane
to Jackson. She refused to pay
the fine because of the princi-
PAL involved in the case. She
was permitted to call a Mem
phis Attorney. Meanwhile she
was taken to Jail cell and
searched. However, just before
the big key turned the cell lock,
Attorney H. T. Lochard of
Memphis, and several other
friends arrived and arranged
Tor Mrs. Sanders release. A
speedy trial was set for 8 am.
Saturday, June End. At the trial
Attorney Lochard asked for a
dismissal of the charge, but the
Judge refused. Whereupon prop
CT legal procedure was set in
motion for an appeal to the
Tennessee Circuit Court. The
case will likely be heard some
time In the month of July.
There is talk of bringing a
S100,O00.00 damage suit against
the restaurant owners, before
this matter is finally settled, be-
cause of the intimidation, hu-
initiation and embarrassment
Mrs. Sanders suffered due to the
and irresponsible
action on the part of the Men,
phis Airport management.
It might be added, however,
that before going into the Air
port restaurant for service, Mrs.
Sanders had talked with some
Memphis friends who assured
