SOUND SIDE ROAD
BIDS REQUESTED;
OPENING JULY "A

The North Carolina State
Highway Commission has asked
for bids on 49-1O0 Of mile Of
concrete curb and gutter and
driveways on SR 1921, the
Sound Side Road at Nags Head,
running from U. S. 158 Bypass
southeast.
This road is included among
% construction projects totaling
more than lis miles. Bids will
be opened July "a.
The Sound Side Road was al
most wiped out by the March
storm, which might have cut a
new inlet at that point except
for the barrier formed by U. S.
1853 Bypass. State highway en-
gineers have proposed to rebuild
the road SO that it will slope
gently to Roanoke Sound and
serve as a flume in the event
of another severe storm pouring
a great volume of water across
the beach.
This plan has been opposed by
some Sound Side residents and
property owners, who fear such
a road, because of it's lack of
at the Roanoke Sound
end, will be under water and
impossible at high tide.

NEW RESIDENTS
OF BEACH AREA
DO UNIQUE JOB
Bri+fons Produce Cartoeraph-
Map Of University Of
N. c. Campus

Two new residents of the
Outer Banks have completed q
new cartograph-map of the Uni
versity of North Carolina which
the UNC Alumni Association
liked so we'll that the association
has had it published, wall size,
suitable for framing.
The map is the work of DR..
and Mrs. Sydney w. Britton,
now living at Duck. DR.. Britton
retired several years ago after
25 years on the faculty of the
University of Virginia. The
couple undertook the UNC pro-
ject after having made a similar
map of the University of Vir-
ginia campus.
First Edition Issued
A first edition in "true and
faithful color" has been publish
ed by the Alumni Association
and is available to those inter
ested. 1t is in six colors, printed
on vellum board, and measures
21a by 3-1/2 feet.
Maps have long been a hobby
of the Brittons. Mrs. Britton,
herself a former professor of
law, was the creative artist for
the new Chapel Hill map. DR..
Britton did most of the research
into historical backgrounds and
added the identifying markets
to the map.
Having built home on the
Outer Banks, the Brittons now
call themselves Tar Heels. They
have a further connection with
the State in the fact that two
married daughters live in North
Carolina. Two sons, both physi-
clans, live in Florida.
Native of England
DIR. Britton is a native Of
Devon, England, and was gradu-
ated at McGill University, in
Canada. After obtaining his
NJ. D. at Harvard, he taught
there and at John HOPKINS be-

and valuable service in behalf of
the National Parks. In 1854 he
received an honorary fellowship

MAKING THE FISHERMAN HONEST
Fishermen are a hardy breed.

F1Snermen are ndTuy preeu
In fair weather or foul, with rod and reel or hand
line, they out, trying their luck Skill more
likely both. They hard to discourage and good
day is remembered forever while hundred bad days
fade quickly away
Fisherrnen's tall tales proverbal In fact, mat
ters have gotten to the point where the fisherman who
tells the truth understates bit the dimensions
of his catch, is met generally with disbelief.
1t is here that the Fishing Rodeo sponsored by the
Nags Head Chamber of Commerce comes to the re-
scue. Participation is cheap. seasons membership
costs only $3.50 And official citations attest to the
reliability of the fshermans story of the size of his
catch.
The rodeo will continue until November 80. In
addition to citations for all individual fish of the re-
qured size, prizes will be awarded those acuiring most
citations in 33 categores of salt and fresh water fish
The rodeo makes honest man Of the fisherman.
His catch becomes matter of official record. Also
the rodeo gives the fserman his due. AS third
dividend it adds keen competitive angle to the sport
that attracts thousands annually to Dare County
waters and to the wide warm Gulf Stream just out
side
To get more out of fishing join the Outer Banks

hotels motels, fishing piers and elsewhere the

ROTARY FIRES
I'll GUN SALUTE
AT N. G. SHIP
Civic Club Views Scenes oi
War Memorial
at Meeting

Wallace McCown, an admiral
in the North Carolina Navy, led
members of the Manteo Rotary
Club through a visual tribute to
the North Carolina Battleship
Commission on Monday evening
at the Manteo Motel.
More than 80 Rotarians were
on hand for the program of
Photographic slides which gave
the civic group technicolor
glipses of the Battleship North
Carolina in its present birth at
Wilmington, N. C.
The U.S.S. North Carolina a
distinguished "battle wagon"
which saw action during World
War ii, was made war memoir
ial in April after its purchase
from the government for one
quarter of million dollars. In
less than six months after the
dedication ceremonies in April,
nearly 100000 visitors from
North Carolina and other states
have visited the ship, which has
been designated as "the finest
Naval Memorial project in the
country"
The ship, perpetual tribute
to North Cardinals fighting men
and women who served in World
War ii, was acquired through
the efforts of the North Carolina
Battleship Commission, chair
named by Hugh Morton, and the
contributions of thousands of
Tar Heels throughout the state.
McCown who addressed the
Rotarians, and their visiting
guests from Virginia, Ohio and
Washington, explained tn at
many features of the grand
battle wagon have been preserv-
ed for visitors to the memorial
site, including the 16 inch gun
turrents, the navigation bridge
2Omm and 40mm. anti-aircraft
guns, IL ton anchors, II ton
propellors, and the ships ward
room."
Admiral McCown, who attain
ed his rank through fund-seeking
efforts on behalf of the COM
mission, stated that the battle
ship is one "of which the entire
state and nation may well be
proud"
He explained that Dare Coun-
ty gave its full support to the
project from its beginning. "The
school children of Dare gave
1000 in the drive for funds to
acquire the memorial and many
Dare citizens gave of their time
and money in it's behalf" "All
can be assured of the worthiness
of their efforts, for this tre-
mendous project has been given
a wonderful reception through
out the nation," he said.
McCown was assisted with the |
presentation by Grady Gaskill,
principal of Manteo Elementary
School and a guest of the club.
The slide program viewed by the
Rotarians has been made avail
able to civic clubs and groups
throughout North Carolina,
through the cooperation of the
1900 admirals of the North |
Carolina Navy, and Hugh Nor
ton, the Chairman of the Bat
tleship Commission.

| RELATIVELY SPEAKING. +.
The other days rumor to the eff.
feet that A. A. Mcmillan, Wake
County legislator, is being
boosted to run for the House
seat now held by the venerable
Harold D. Cooley set us thinking
about political kinfolk.
Mcmillan is the son of R. L
Mcmillan, known the length OF
the land by lawyers and legion
naires and Baptists. He has d
quiet, easy, sincere way about
him that could carry him far in
politics. He first moved into the
limelight two years ago when
he ran for the Legislature, got
elected, and this time led the
ticket.
Another newcomer to the
political world is Thomas D.
(Buck) Bum, the son of Old
timer Wilbur Bum and Maude
Davis Bum, both whom have
Sunday School classes called
after them at Hayes Barton
Baptist here. Young Bum, like
his father, is an attorney. He is
also a first cousin of Tom Davis
of Winston-Salem, head of Pied
mont Aviation. His uncle is Eg-
bert Davis of Security Life &
Trust Co.,. Winston-Salem.
Now as for young Mcmillan,
he has So many prominent kim
folk we could not begin to name
them all. But one is the great
writer, Gerald Johnson, another
is Miss Lois johnson, who re-
Gently retired after 20 years as
Wake Forests first dean of wo-
men. He is related to- the Mem
ory's of Columbus County.
We have had several relatives
of prominent people in our Wake
County legislative delegation.
Archie Allen, who served sew
eral terms and is still active
legally and politically is the son
of the late A. T. Allen, who fort
many years was State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.
James H. Pou Bailey, who serv-
ed two terms in the State SEN
ate, is the son of the late Sen. ].
w. Bailey.
R. N. Simms, Jr., served one
term in the State Senate. His
father has been an attorney
here, and Baptist lay leader, for
high on to 65 years and his
wonderful mother is still just as
active as yesteryear with her
gadrens and friends. |
Environment is fine, if you
have nothing else to go on part
icularly, but blood is hard to
beat-especally in Wake-where
there seems to be a lot of it.
TURNABOUT. Speaking of
kinfolk reminds us that politics
can make-and break-strong
family friendships. 4
For example, one of Fourth
District Congressman Harold ID.
Cooley's most loyal and influent-
ial friends was the late Leroy
Martin, whose nephew William
2. Wood of Winston-Salem took
on Fifth District Congressman
Ralph Scott.
1t may be that Scott did more
for Cooley than did the late Mr..
Martin. Be that as it may, Mr..
Cooley went out of his way to
help Scott clobber his late best
friends nephew, Bill Wood.
Gratitude exists, but not al
ways to great degree in politics.
Will Wood be cool on Cooley in
the future?

A lot of good Democrats could
be making a mistake in putting
all their eggs in one basket in
the effort to see that Alvin Paul
Kitchin wins out over Charles
Raper Jonas in the revamped
Eighth District this fall.
That race will be close, Of
course, and Kitchin will be lucky
to win. But we predict win he
will, however. In the revamped
Ninth District, which now in
cludes Davie and Yadkin, Alex
ander may have trouble with
James T. Broyhill, Lenoir Re-
publican with furniture money
to burn. The Ninth never has
been easy for the Democrats
even back there when we had
Bob Doughton as the Congress
man and one of the nations
greats.
Clyde R. Greene got better
than 40 per cent of the votes
each time he ran against Bob
Doughton ('46 & '4S).
Greene, now back with his
hardware firm in Boone after
completing his tenure with the
U. S. Agriculture Dept, did not
have Yadkin and Davie. Broyhill
has. The Alexander Broyhill

this time.

the industrial giants.
Our closest industry to the top
IS Burlington Industries. .and-it
is in 51st place $4,000 en-

the 500 is Reynolds Tobacso,
which averaged 1900 on the
payroll, most of them in Wins
ton-Salem, in 1861.
Cannon Mills is 221st place
in the 500, going from 232nd
position in the 1860 rating. Cam
non has $4,000 employees. We
were surprised to find Cone
Mills in 225th place, a big march
up from the 248th place held in
1860. ~
American Enka of Enka, just
west of Asheville, went from
408th position in 1860 to 364.
And there you have it for
North Carolina: Burlington,
Reynolds, Cannon, Cone, and En-
ka.
The largest on the list is Cen
eral Motors, with others in this
order: Standard Oil of N. j.,
Ford, General Electric, Socony,
and u. s. Steel. IS.
1t should be noted that COM
panies like American Tobacco,
P. Lorillard, Western Electric,
etc., are in the exclusive list, but
do not have offices in this State.
This has plenty of room for
growth industrially.

G. 0. P. Probing the South

In the mixed trend of TUESDAYS
voting, Republicans may find encourage
ment for greater effort in two political
vineyards that hitherto have offered
them little promise One includes the
large cities Of industrial Northern States
where the G. o. P. showed unexpected
strength In the course of capturing such
prizes as the governorships of PennSyl-
vania, Michigan and Ohio, along with
holding New York. The other is the
South, plus some of the fringe States,
that by and large has been faithfully
Democratic for a century past.
The task of bringing two-party
politics to the South demands first of
all, OF course, the establishment of work.
ing Republican organizations and the
selection Of candidates of reasonably
broad appeal. For this year, the party
entered more than go candidates for
House and Senate seats in the Southern
region and was rewarded by picking up
new House victories in Texas, Florida,
North Carolina, Tennessee and Ken
lucky, without losing any of the incum-
bent Republican members from the same
area. Some Of the near-wins were SINH
larly impressive from the G. OIL P. stand
particularly the tough fight given
Democratic Senator Lister Hill in Ala
bama and the good showing made by
Republican gubernatorial nominee Jack
Cox against John Connally, the Demo-
cratic winner in Texas. Oklahoma vot-
ers picked Republican Governor for
the first time in the States history. In
several other congressional contests, in
GLIDING two in nearby Virginia, shift
Of only few hundred votes would have
made the Republican gains even more
spectacular.
There have been breaches in the
Democratic South before, of course, and
there is nothing yet close to equality of
strength between the two parties. Even
as in New England's Vermont, where the
Green Mountain Yankees finally revolt
ed against even more than a century
OF Republican rule in the Montpelier
capitol building, longtime voting habits
may be changing only little bit at a
time. For the Republicans, however, a
permanent and widening division of the
South is prize well worth pursuing,
and may in fact be within reach.
