The Manteo girls led all the
way and pulled away early in the
second half to down the Weeksville

Partridge led the Manteo scorers
with Is and IA points respectively.
The Manteo boys, playing their

CONGRESSMAN URGES SALE
OF SURPLUS TOBACCOS

Congressman Herbert C. Bonner
today announced that he had writ
ten strong letter to the Secretary
of Agriculture, Honorable Orville
L. Freeman, urging that an i'm
mediate program be instituted to
offer for sale on the foreign world
markets nondescript surplus tobac-
co taken over by the Sterilization
Corporation several years ago. This
Tobacco is not attractive to manu-
facturers and has, therefore, re-
manned in stabilization warehouses
at tremendous cost to the Stabili-
zation Corporation in storage and
interest. This tobacco depresses the
market and should be moved at
world competitive prices or even
cheaper than similar tobaccos
grown in foreign countries. There
is danger of deterioration to a
point where these tobaccos would
be of no value whatsoever if re-
tanned in government storage.
Mr.. Bonner stated to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture that program
of this type would be beneficial
both to the growers and the Sta
bilization Corporation and would
save the Federal Government mil
lions of dollars. The Congressman
further stated that he hoped the
Secretary would initiate program
of this type prior to the coming
marketing season.

excess fluid from the head into
the blood stream.
You can imagine how much
we worried about our little girl
in those early days, because
we knew she was never far
from death. It could have come
at any time. After all, 250, 900
infants are born in this coun-
try each year with a significant
birth defect and 81, 900 Of them
die.
But Linda continued to inn
prove. She received specialized
treatment at the March of
Dimes supported center. She
got her leg braces and crutches.
Linda hated them, but she
learned to use them.
When, though Iii ever -
would she be able to run and
play with her sister and two
older brothers and the other
neighborhood children?
The answer to that question
depended on Linda, her doc
tors, the rehabilitation thera-
lpists, and us. We all worked
together. We worked long, and
1--we worked hard, but it was
worth it.

EDITORS NoTE, Dorothy G. Brsese,
yosse ceivmbvs. Ohio. mother. tells of
me remarkable progress made BY her
dcvghfsr 10 overcoming the disability
eosssd By severe birth dsfsef.l
BY DOROTHY E. BREESE
My little Linda has done
far more things in her five
years than most people even
dream of being able to do in
an entire lifetime.
As the March of Dimes 1861
National Poster Child, she met
President Kennedy in person
and rode on a float in his in
auguration parade. She starred
in an hour-1ong television pro-
gram with some of the coun-
try's most popular television
and movie stars.
Linda has travelled from
coast to coast and seen her pic
ture in nearly every newSpa-
per printed. She has autograph
books filed with the signatures
of celebrities and famous peo-
pie she has visited.
These are Just some Of the
things Linda has done that are
beyond the reach Of most of us.
But the one thing we wanted
most for her was something the
average person takes for
granted-the ability to walk
alone and unaided.
There were many times dur
ing the years that my husband,
Dean, and ! thought that Linda
would never be able to throw
away her braces and crutches.
And to be truthful, there were
terrifying moments when we
feared we might even lose her.
Linda was born with an
opening in her spinal column,
a condition known medically
as spind biffdd. AS a result, her
body was seriously affected
from the waist down.
When she was only a few
hours old, Linda underwent q
delicate operation that partial
1y corrected this condition. The
surgery was performed at Chill.
dren's Hospital in Columbus
where subsequently The Ma.
tional Foundation with March
of Dimes funds established the
first Of its Birth Defects Clini
cal Study Centers in 1859.
When she was nine months
old, it was found that Lind;
had water on the brain, which
has the medical name of hydro
cephalus. This condition wa
The coastland times with which is combined the pilot and herald of Belhaven and Swan Quarter., 1962-01-19

Only the other day, Linda
took her first halting steps
across our living room without
her crutches or leg braces. It
was an unforgettable experi-
ence. In my excitement, tele-
phoned the good news to every
one knew--and probably
quite a few I didn't know. 1t
was a real shout-from-the-
housetops event.
Linda has won through. She
improves every day. Now her
trips to the birth defects CEN
ter have been cut to just one
every three months. Best of
alive have been able to en-
roll her in kindergarten.
Dean and ! and the children
remember the gloomy days. We
know that many other parents
of afflicted children are going
through similar days of anxiety
and heartbreak right now. But
we also know that The Ma
tional Foundation March of
Dimes is looking for the, cause
and cure of birth defects.
March of Dimes contributions
led to the triumph over polio,
and I'm a firm believer in the
slogan that "Your Dimes Will
| Do 1t Again"

Rewriting Our Bible

Der of other English Bibles, such
as the Taverner Bible, the Great
Bible, and the Geneva Bible -
the last one becoming the house
hold Bible of English-speaking
Professionalism for nearly a cen
fury. The Geneva Bible was the
Bible which Shakespeare read
and John Bunyan, Cromwell, the
Puritan pilgrims, and King ia
mes himself.
Resolves Controversy
Finally, to resolve the many
controversies about the various
English Bibles, King James
sponsored the work which was
to bear his name. Although the
resulting English Bible was i'm
proved in both words and rhy-
thum, it is still basically the
Tyndale-C overdale and Geneva
Bibles.
But no one today reads the
King James Version of 1911.
What most of us do not realize
is that this version was revised
again and again, undergoing es-
pecially thorough overhaulings
in 1862 and again in 1863. 1t is
this last revision which has be-
come the standard form which
we read now.
Perhaps this is why we in
America feel SO at home with the
so-called King James Version
it speaks, not as King James
did in 1911. but as our own an
cestors were speaking at the
time Of our Revolution in l776.
It's language is in harmony with
that OF our own Declaration of
independence and of the Consti
tuition OF the Urited States.
Small wonder that the King
James Version Of the Bible is
still regarded by many Ameri-
cans as the greatest monu-
ment of English prose"
Our King James Version
should never lapse into disuse.
even IT newer TRANSACTIONS do re-
laIe more nearly to our con-
temporary life and language -
1or 1t is a vital part of our
cultural heritage Ignorance of
ne King James Version would
ieaVe a gap in our nature.

CARELESS of race to the school nearest

law, is not satisfactory to the white peo-
Of the South, certainly not of rural

The Supreme Cour, which made the
present school requirements must trans
late them into law. How this is to be
done, we do not know, because the legis-
