form at the luncheon event
in the Hotel Statler Hilton.
Constantly Frightened
Mrs. WeiS told the board
members: II am constantly
frightened at the present mo-
ment with this trend toward
big government we're getting
down in Washington"
She said the "a messages
thus far received in the Con-
gress from President Ken
nedy seems like 1874" Hardly
a day passes when we on the
Hill don't get the word from
1900 Pennsylvania avenue.
And everyone of the bills is
constant chipping away Of
the powers of the Congress.
In case after case they are
adding to Presidential power"
Mrs. Hutar, discussing a
study tour to Europe as a
member of the Atlantic Con-
ference of Young Political
Leaders, charged that the
Democratic Administrations
foreign policy has been a
source of alarm to Europeans
in the countries visited in
Guiding England. France, Bel
gium and West Germany.
Time after time. we were
asked two questions by the
people we met, including po-
litical leaders," she stressed,
rs it true there is panic in
the streets of America with
everyone throwing up a bomb
shelter in his Backyard" us
it true the United States is
going to pull out of Europe?"
Mrs. Hutar said the ques-
TONERS were particularly up
set about the Cuban cataS-
trophe and the August 13
crisis in Berlin, blaming a
"faltering foreign policy of

ton" as the source of their
apprehension.
Reports on Visit
She reported on a visit
with Gen. Lauris NorStad.

UNTAGGED DOGS
BEWARE OF TEAM

An eight-man dog discovery
team headed by deputy sheriff
will begin house-to house can
vassing March l6. for unlicensed
dogs, Mrs. Ruth A. Neil. chair
man of the Board of Supervisors
said.
1t will operate throughout the
county. Dog owners will have
not been warned of the crews
route. The team will work one
section for about two days and
then move on to another, accord
ing to Sgt. Norris Hodgson, hu-
name deputy.
Owners of unlicensed dogs will
be issued a past-due license
violation and given II hours to
license their animals. Persons
failing to comply will be sub
ject to court action, Hodgson
said.
Arizona law requires that dogs
be licensed every year. Rabies
protection is necessary in order
to obtain license.
The Board of Supervisors in
cooperation with the Arizona Vet
ernary Medical Association
sponsored a series of 4o anti
rabies clinics for six weeks in
January and February at loca-
tions throughout the county. A
total of 1920 dogs we're vac
cinated and licensed.
Those who didn't attend will
have to pay for both vaccination
and the license.
Some $500 have been licensed
through the county animal shell
ter bringing the total number of
licensed dogs to FL. 700 in 1862.

DRINKWATER
WILL CELEBRATE
9th BIRTHDAY
Sender Of Wright Flight Wire
Is Still On the
A. P. Payroll
BY BEVERLY wOLTER

IN the WlnStOn-Salem journal
Things are looking up for AL
pheus Drinkwater in his dealings
with the Associated Press.
Sixty years ago he sent his
first news item to AP.
They paid him 81.
"Just the other day, / got a
check from the A ssoci tie d
Press" he announced proudly.
"They sent me So for a wreck /
reported"
Drink" as he's familiarly
known, is the man credited with
sending the Wright Brothers
message that the Wrights had
successfully completed their first
flight on Dec. IT, 1903.
He'll be 81 on July 81, an age
that seems not to have impaired
his enjoyment of people and ac-
tivities.
His place, "Drinkwaters Fol-
ly," outside Manteo, was the
setting for a party Saturday for
Secretary of the Interior Stewart
L. Udall, Gov. Terry Sanford,
National Park Service director
Conrad Wirth and others on
hand for the dedication of the
Waterside Theater in which Paul
Green's drama, "The Lost Col
ony" is given.
Drink" stayed in one chair
and kept another close by for
people who came by to chat with
him.
He told about his last AP
check, then waved his hand to-
ward the house and said, "Go
on in and look around"
The invitation was kindly
meant, even if one didn't know
what to look for.
A glass case full of sea shells,
a ship in a bottle and three
people who also seemed to be
wondering why they were told to
go in were duly noted.

KNOTS ISLAND
WILL CELEBRATE
FERRY SERVICE
Governor Sanford to Speak.
Fish Fry for 500 Visitors
Being Arranged

Currituck County is planning
big doings for September 4, the
date set for the formal opening
of ferry service between Knots
Island and the courthouse.
District Highway Commission
er Gillian Wood has promised
that Governor Terry Sanford
will be present for a talk at the
christening of the ferryboat,
named the Knots Island. The
county is preparing to stage a
fish fry for about 500 visitors.
The major events of the day
will take place at the Knots
Island end of the six-mile ferry
run. On arrival on the mainland,
Governor Sanford will be met
by a high school band and, if
time permits, will accompany
the so Knots Island school
children to Knapp High School,
quarter mile distant.
The $125,O00 ferryboat to be
used on the run will carry IA
cars and will have enclosed
quarters for 80 passengers. Its
delivery date is August "a, and
it will be put in service imme-
diately after a few test runs,
provided the docks are complet-
ed.
Currituck County schools will
open August 81. This year for
the first time, Knotts Island
students enrolled in grades
eight through IL on the main
land will be spared a 100-mile
round trip daily, half of it in
Virginia.

NEW DARE BUDGET
LISTS $635, 900
IN REQUIREMENTS
Dare Board Adopts Fiscal Plan
During Special Meeting
Held on Hafteras Id.

Dare County's 1962-1963 bud
get was officially approved on
Thursday of last week, when the
Dare Board of Commissioners
convened at a special meeting
held in the Hatteras Island Pa
troll Station. The approved bud
get was similar to the tentative
fiscal plan for the year submit
ted by the board on June Is.
The 1962-1963 budget of $685.
1870 represents a $123,000 in
crease over the previous years
cost of operation. The increase
is due to the county's decision
to include state and federal sup
plements in the total this year,
according to John H. Long, coun-
ty accountant.
The new budget includes raises
for the sheriff, register of deeds,
clerk of court and county ac-
countant and welfare depart
ment employees, and sheriff's
deputies. One expenditure not
listed previously is the provision
for building inspector to en-
force the recently adopted build
ing codes by the county and the
municipality of Nags Head.
Changes to the tentative bud
get, before it's adoption, included
increases for the assistant clerk
of court, and personnel serving
radio watch with the Dare Sher-
IFS Department.
The board also approved a re-
duction in the tax rate for the
Dare Board of Education and
set a tax rate of .03 to defray
expenses of operation for the
County Accountants office.
The increase for the assistant
clerks position was recommend
ed by C. s. Meekins, clerk, who
pointed out the increased capa-
bilities of his assistant and not
ed that the office now required
the assistant to serve as deputy
clerk. The increase from $3.50
to $3,120 was approved unani-
mously, as were all budget
changes.
An increase of $240 was added
to the budget appropriation for
the Dare Sheriff's office because
of requests from that depart
ment for hike to compensate
for increased capabilities of the
force. The appropriation was in
creased from $4,000 to $3,840
for 62-63.

| FRESHEN WATER
Coast Guard Problem Appar.
emily viii Be Solved by
Electronics

If they can develop a cheap
way of taking the salt out of
sea water, a few hundred miles
of pipe lines will change millions
of acres in the West from desert
wastes to blooming fields and
gardens.
Water is the No. 1 problem of
the West. 1t is also a problem
here and there in the East,
though of far smaller dimen-
sions.
Coleridge's line, "Water water
everywhere nor any drop to
drink" applies with peculiar
force to the Coast Guard crews
on Ocracoke Island. Crewmen at
the ifeboat station there and on
the 95-foot patrol boat assigned
to the area-some 80 men in all
rely on rain water for drink
ing, cooking and washing.
Sometimes Brackish
AS it falls on the station roof,
rain is funneled into four buried
cisterns. After storms, the
cistern water takes on a brack-
ish taste from salt vapor that
mixes with the rain.
This is bad enough, but a dry
spell is much worse. Then the
Coast Guards must ration their
water, sometimes for many
days at a time.
A new day is dawning, how
ever. Work was scheduled to
begin this week on installation
of a plant said to be the worlds
first continuous sea water con-
version facility.
The plant will utilize modern
electronics to take the salt out
of the water. Atoms of salt and
other impurities will be electri-
fled, and the current will carry
them through a plastic men,

When Nathaniel first came to
the Outer Banks, he lived in
Rodanthe. He lost his heart to
the land and the friendly, kindly
folks there. On February %,
1900, he married Eliza Rhine
Midget and they went to Man
teo, where they operated the
Roanoke Hotel.
In the spring of 1908, Ma
thaniel Gould bought Bodie Is
land for Charles and John Paine,
whom he had met long before
in Massachusetts. 1t was wild
beach land, with a shanty for
habitation. He developed the
property into a famous wild
fowl hunting club.
A daughter, now Mrs. Martha
Gould Townsend of klamath
Falls, Ore, was born in June,
1904, and as time passed, much
unclaimed land to the north of
Bodie Island was taken up in her
name. She was taken to Bodie
Island as baby, and her father
would take her along on hunting
trips before she could walk. He
would keep her in a beach box
while he shot wildfowl for food.
Long Jaunts Recalled
"Just as soon as / could walk" /"
she recalls, "I went with him
on long jaunts to see how his

It was during this period that
Nathaniel Gould orderd the
first sea oats from Mass

checking beach erosion had been
demonstrated.

BIDS TO FILL
BUXTON INLET
ARE RECEIVED
District Engineer Announces
$4,000 Offer to
Close Cash

Bids for the closure of Buxton
Inlet, a 600 foot cash across
Hatteras Island, created by the
storm of March 7, were opened
last Thursday in the Wilmington
District Office, Corps of En-
gineers.
Colonel J. Grygiel, District
Engineer, has announced that
Atkinson Dredging Company, of
Norfolk, Va, was the apparent
low bidder with a price of $3.50,
600.
The work to be performed in
closing the inlet consists of
dredging an access channel in
Pamlico Sound from Cape Chan
mel to the site of the inlet, a
distance of approximately 2Ya
miles, and placing a hydraulic
fill approximately 5000 feet
long to an elevation of plus 90
feet above mean low water for
closure of the inlet. The pro-
ject is expected to be completed
during October.
The announcement appeared
to have settled the controversy
over the inlet's future, which has
been a subject of heated con-
troversy on the Banks since the
storm. A recent move to restrain
the closure by injunction has
left the inlet's future is doubt.
Various petitions were circulated
in April and May by groups
either in favor of filling the
inlet or opposed to it's closure.
On April 10, o. G. Gray, a
native of Avon circulated a petit
tion requesting the Dare Board
of Commissioners, Governor
Sanford, Congressman Bonner

Mar ialene Thomas Eleanor Dare
Talented Actress From Roanoke Island Has Achieved Per-
feeion in Her Colony" Role

If, as Rostand said, "Our eyes
are the windows to our souls" !"
Marjalene Thomas has little to
fear from heaven. She uses them
to perfection in her role as Flea
nor Dare in Paul Green's The
Lost Colony.
Their transitory blue sparkle
shifts in a blink from the CLINT
of fiery determination to a linn
pid, concerned softness which
wells the eyes of a woman in
love. Above all, there is a power
in her eyes, call it an inner
strength if you like, that is the
hallmark of the actress and the
18th century lady she portrays.
Mrs. Thomas has given the
role of Eleanor Dare 10 years
of intensive study which are the
catalytic agents for the percep-
tive and versatile performance
she brings to the stage of the
Waterside Theater on summer
evenings.
Her hypnotic spell over Col
ony audiences is the calculated
result of continuous rehearsals
and a fastidious attention to de-
tail which she prefers to call
hard work.
Early Start
Marjalene Midget Thomas
made her debut with the Green
drama as a child of nine, when
she played a flower girl in the
1888 production of the play. She
has the distinction of having
served with the play longer than
any other actress.
After her modest triumph"
as flower girl, Mrs. Thomas

EMERGENCY LOANS
NOW AVAILABLE TO
HYDE co. FARMERS

Hyde County has been desig-
mated by the Secretary of Agri-
culture as an emergency loan
area, as a result of the crop and
livestock damage, and loss,
caused by the recent excessive
rains, winds and floods.
George w. Sturgeon, the
Farmers Home Administrations
Supervisor for Hyde and Dare
counties has indicated that some
individual farmers in Hyde
County received up to 100 per-
cent damage and loss to their
corn, soy beans and truck crops
from excessive rains and flood
during the period from June 27
through July 5, 1852.
State Senator P. D. Midgette,
Jr. noted recently that crop
damage in Hyde County was
estimated at 500 for corn and
soybeans.
Excessive water also caused
substantial damage to other
crops in the area.
Emergency loans bear a go
interest rate and may be made
to eligible farmers, in the areas
affected, for the purchase of
feed, seed, fertilizer replacement
of equipment and livestock, for
other essential farm and home
operating expenses, and for the
replacement or repair of build
ings, fences, drainage and irri-
cation systems on individual
farms which were damaged or
destroyed by a natural disaster.
Sturgeon noted that loans
could not be made to compensate
applicants for their losses.
Loans for production purposes,
ne said, are expected to be repaid
from crops and livestock as
sold.
Any established farm owner
or farm operator in Hyde Coun-
ty desiring further information
about these loans or other type
of assistance available through
the Farmers Home Administra-
ton, may contact Mr.. Sturgeon

BEACH PATROL
DUE TO START
THIS WEEK END
Plans to Warn Swimmers, Per.
form Rescues. Check
Lawlessness

The new Dare beaches patrol
service probably will go into
operation this week end.
There have been unavoidable
delays. The jeep loaned the pa
troll by Lionel Edwards, Nags
Head town commissioners, need
ed repairs. Also, some organiza-
tion work had to be done.
Lloyd Horton, sponsor and di-
rector of the service, plans to
get two mouth-to-mouth respira-
tors for use on the beach, and
also hopes to borrow from the
National Park Service a surf
hailer with which to warn swim
mers who may be in danger.
The Park Service now uses a
transistor-type hailer, and has
several of the older type on
hand, he said.
IL Volunteer Aides
Horton, life guard at the Cav
alier Motor Court in Kill Devil
Hills, and his associate, George
Richardson, have enrolled as vol
unteer aides the II life guards
in service from the Avalon fish
ing pier to Jennette's fishing
pier. Operating from the Cav
alier, they hope to make two
runs daily, warning swimmers,
rescuing those in difficulties,
and checking lawlessness on the
beach
In the latter connection, Hor-
ton said those serving on the
patrol hoped to be sworn in as
deputies so that they might deal
with lawbreakers.
This is Horizons seventh year
on the Dare beaches. He is a
law student at the University
of North Carolina, with two
more years to go. For four
years, he has operated a beach
