STATE WILL TRY
ExPERIMEN IN
BEACH DRAINAGE
Outfall at Nags Head viii Be
Supported by Piline at
Ocean End

A double experiment in meet
ing drainage problems on the
Dare County beaches will be
tried by the State Highway De-
partment.
Work began this week on o
drainage line to cross under
U. S. Highway 1853 Business at
point next to the present Town
Hall in Mays Head. 1t should be
completed in two or three weeks
according to v. L. Perry, state
highway engineer stationed at
Elizabeth City, who was work
ing on preliminary details last
week.
Two lines of 30-inch aluminium
pipe will be run under the high
way and out to the low water
level on the beach. The last SO
feet of the pipes will be support
ed by piling, so that the spill
will be sufficiently above the
ocean bottom, engineers hope, to
keep the pipes from filling with
sand when the flow of water is
landward.
Connecting Ditch
The lines will extend 40 feet
back on the west side of the
highway to connect with later
al ditch to be dug by the town
of Mays Head. Thus, an area a
mile long and a quarter mile
wide will be drained. This has
been something of problem
area from a drainage standpoint
in the past.
This will be the first time that
aluminium pipe has been used in
this way on the Dare beaches,
and the first time that a drain
age outfall has been supported
on piling. Aluminium has many
virtues for this type of project,
it was explained, since it is light
and easy to handle and, the en-
gineers hope will prove relative
~ corrosion free.
Meanwhile, the problem of re-
construction of the Old Mays
Head Road remains unresolved.
Engineer Perry said last week
that he had had no word as to
what was to be done about the
road, or when work on it would
begin.

super" feats by their supervis-
or include: The covering of the
Lincoln Trails in Illinois, Ind
lana and Kentucky, a winter
expedition down the Tippecanoe
River in homemade kayaks, and
monthly bike hikes.
The boys have organized a
open until July and had hoped to
give a performance before leav-
ing the Outer Banks area. They
have expressed disappointment
that the "Lost Colony" does not
open until July and had hoped to
see a performance before return
ing to Indiana, home-cooked
meals and the comfort of an

have declared it the finest deli

The show went on, however,

by the Colony" members was
heralded in all the Washington

had observed any marks OF
scratches on the defendant
since then, he replied: "No."
At the conclusion of the tes-
timony, a motion for dismissal
was denied by Judge Baum, who
ordered the defendant held with
out bond until the next term of
Superior Court in Dare County.
Russell Twiford, Hoffler's Eliza
beth City attorney, has indicat-
ed that the defendant must also
stand trial for another rape
charge being brought on behalf
of the State for a similar as
sault in Currituck County upon
the Engelhard girl.
If convicted, the defendant
could receive the death penalty
for the crime of which he is ac-
cused. The defendant is a native
of Hartford, who is reported to
be supporting a wife and fam
lily in Portsmouth, Va. He was a
mate aboard fishing cruiser in
Florida last winter and returned
to North Carolina recently fol-
similar employment during the
summer.
The only other case appearing
for trial involved Charlie Cur
tbs, a native of Williamson, who
was charged with appearing on
the highway while in a drunk
en- condition. Curtis pleaded gull
ty to the offense and was fined
$25 and costs of court.
The cases of State versus
James Alton Odds, Royce Perry
and Thomas Gray Scarborough
were continued until the next
term of Recorders Court.

TRY AGAIN?. With income
tc the General Fund running
about 20 million dollars ahead
of expectations, it looks as we
will have no new taxes in North
Carolina for several years.
In fact, the Democrats-no
doubt anticipating the surplus
in session here a month ago
put mo new taxes" as one of the
official planks in the platform.
However, the State-owned
colleges are bursting at the
seams with the war babies (born
1941-46) which couples brought
along in an effort to keep hubby
out of the draft.
So, we will probably try a
bond issue-if the Legislature
of 1868 will set the stage for it
again during the Sanford ad-
ministration.
Whether it will pass, of
course, remains to be seen.
The extra money we are now
getting from taxes-and are ex-
pecting to get for years to
come-will be enough to pay
back, with interest, the money
we will borrow if the bond vote
is accepted.

aboard, and found the boat sub
merged so far that he could
step into the cockpit.
Family Asleep
Mrs. Gather and the children
were asleep below decks. Awak-
ened by the impact, they put on
life jackets, and chung to the
wreckage. Food and drinking
water, radio and signal flares
were under water below decks
and could not be Raced.
After nightfall, increasing
winds raised seas that tore the
flying bridge from the hull and
scattered wreckage about. Next
morning, the family saw planes
overhead but were unable to at
tract their attention. By early
afternoon, Gather decided to
swim ashore to summon help.
In Elizabeth City, w. G.
Gather Sr. had begun to become
anxious when the family failed
to return home as expected. He
called the Coast Guard, and an
amphibious plane was dispatch
ed for a search. 1t failed to find
anything.
A little later, the younger
Gather reached shore and made
his phone call. Two helicopters
were sent Immediately, and
within 10 minutes they sighted
Gather on the beach in shorts
and life jacket, waving for help.
Four Licked Up
A 'copter piloted by 1t. Gene
Cooper picked up Mrs. Gather
and the children five minutes
later, and the second 'copter
took Gather off the beach. The
four were flown to the Coast
Guard Dispensary at Elizabeth
City, and later were sent home.
The wreck was estimated to
be three miles south of Point
Harbor.

alleged that the two assaults
were both made in this state.
Miss Berry testified that she

days before at the Mays Head
Casino and that she accepted an
invitation to attend a party in
Virginia Beach which she said
was being given for him by
some airline hostesses." She de-

beers" during the trip, which
lasted from GAS pm. until mid

The girls father, o. w. Ber-
ry, took the stand to state that
he arrived in Mays Head the
next day, after a phone call
from a friend, and found her at
the summer residence which she
uses while working at a local
supermarket. "She told me she
had been raped" he said. "She
had a bruised nose; her neck
and arms were bruised, and her
mouth was swelled," he added.
Hoffler, who listened to the
States testimony without emo
ton, shifted his hand-supported
face from left to right palm, as
he sat dressed in white shirt,
green Stacks and tie behind the
defense table.
The defendant took the stand
to deny ever having forced his
19-year-old companion into sex
ual relations. He admitted hav-
ing had intercourse with Julia
Berry in Kitty Hawk woods.
When asked if he ever struggled
with the blond to keep her in
the car, Hoffler answered.: "No."
"She offered no resistance what
soever," he said. He also denied
ever having threatened to kill
her.
Hoffler, a mate aboard an
Oregon Inlet-based party cruis-

day which was not allowed. Tes-
timony was given indicating
that the girl had gone onto a
boat in the company of others
with Hoffler on Monday eve

The defendant admitted hav-
ing previously been charged with
stealing a cash register and dis
turbing the peace, but denied
ever. having been involved or ac-
cused of a sex crime or attempt
ed rape.
At one point during the de-
fendant's testimony Miss Berry
shouted "That's a ie." On an
other occasion, when he was tell

to subdue her, she cried out 81

accuser was cautioned on sever

judge. &
Hoffler stated that he was

against him when he returned
