HEGRET OVER I DEPARTUE OF PAUL MURPHY \ ^ — Topdlar Hvacl of Wl’A Pro- ;jects In Dare To Go West ‘ Sept 1 I By THOMAS POOLE 1 On or about September 1st, Dl- ijector Paul B. Murphy, loveable and popular head of the Fort Eustls y/tPA Projects leaves for other Im- ||ortnijt dultles hi the West. "Col’ Murphy as he is locally known, Ifeayes the important position he lias held since Octob:v 1934, in the face of keen regret by hundreds of men employed on Eustls WPA Pro jects and of many other assisting officials who have faithfully served with him; many cf them since he first came to Virginia. No man in the service can be found who has performed the ap parent miracles and enjoyed the wide success of Mr Murphy. Dur ing his stay he has accomplished many endeavors, exacted results that few other men could have reached. In building the great suc cess" and prestige he so justly en joys. many factors have ably con tributed. Primarily', he has been vitally interested in the various pro jects so successfully operated under his supervision. The vast majority of men who have WKjrked under him have always held him in high es teem and gave that full cooperation and exhibited that fine spirit that aids in overcoming arduous tasks. Again, Mr. Murphy was always pop ular with high officials in Wash ington, due to his abilities to com plete any task put on his shoulders; this placing him in a position where he could get assistance when it was needed. And it goes without saying that ho ever stood closely aligned with the State officials both in North Carolina and Vir ginia. "When he came to take over tlie Bustis camp in the Autumn of 1934, what had been an original invest ment of $12,000,000 for a U S. war cantonment in 1917, was found to be, in a sense, a deserted village Many of the finer buildings were going to ruin; the sreets and roads had^almost grotvn up In weeds and briers and grass. And withal, prac tically the entire camp presented a great need for being renovated, cleaned up and repaired. "With characteristic energy. Mr. Murphy assisted by several hundred -' Rough and Dressed Lumber PINE and CYPRESS FISH T/OXES Wc Deliver Anywiicre by Our Own Truck Lowest Prices to Be Found Anywhere J. H. BRATTEN ' East Lake, N.

Send cash with order. workers had Fort Eustls in a few weeks a place of beauty, cleanliness aiul the ideal place for liouslng men that It was during the World War. And from the flrst moment he ar rived at Fort Eustls he showcci and demonstrated an almost individual Interest in oveiy man under him. Until the various WPA projects 1 were begun .■•oinelime later. Mr. Muiphy dally occupied lumsclf with tlie many problems th.it arose m taking care of and finding employ ment for a large body of men that froln day to day .steadily increased until, all intake w.^s discontinued a- bout the latter part of December, 1935." In November, 1935 Fort Eustls took over the optratlon of .sever.-U important WPA Projects; including the vast Newport News Waterworks Prcjccl, a project at Langley Field, the construction of the River Bend In W.anvlck County, a Mosquito Control project on the James River; and Anally the gigantic Beach Erosion Control Project in the Tide water section of Eastern North Car olina In February, 1936. With the possible exception of the latter project, the others have been successfully tcnnlnatcd. In the Beach Erosion Control work. Mr. Murphy showed a deep .Interest In every ph.ise of It from the mo ment It was intrusted In his charge. As on the other projects he had headed, success came from the systematic operations that always control his principles. At the head of each department, ho made It a rule to position men who were both able and cooperative and largely they were ala'.iys original Fort Eus tls men who had shoaur marked abilities to handle the positions turned over to them. As a devout lover of athletics, Mr, Murphy turned out teams un der appointed coaches who have made In many cases incomparable records, whether on the base ball diamond, basket b.rll court or foot ball gridiorn. In fact the name of Fort Eustls athletics is one highly recognized and respected through out this part of the South and near East. At Fort Euslis," under the guidance of Mr Murphy, work was srlccled to suit the individual needs; and a score of men have either be come .'Uffircntly mimed to accept goed jeba or were enabled to be ready to accept positions In private industry In keeping with former times. Finally, whether from an individual or general standpoint, thousands of men have found hon orable work at Fort Eustls and arc thus better prepared for the future. In leaving the Eustls Project, af ter a great record for other Acids of service. Director Paul B. Murphy takes with him the love, esteem and friendship of countle.« number of men and boys from all parts of the world. They will ever revere him as a leader who assisted them in Aghting the economic stress of the late Depression and making it pos- 'olble for them to take a new hold jon life. The well wishes of a score of other people will follow Mr Mur phy In his departure; and with such I a glorious record behind him, suc- j cc.ss and happiness are sure to bless I him wherever he may reside In the future. .^lANTEO DEFEATS CAMl’ DUCK 9 to 4 CAMP SANDY SELECTED AS NAME FOR SCOUT CAMP AT NAGS HEAD WANTED, Watches, Clocks, Jewelry to repair.

S, NAVY WANTS MORE GOOD MEN Recruiting Station At New Bern Is Calling For New Applicants Dunce liivciiturs I’racticc Routines The latest fad with the young folks, both local residents and visit ing residents of the beach, is seeing who can create the most dance routines. These young ihvcnto'rs, if that Is . what they might be called, .spend their days practicing "new steps wlicrcvcr tlicy liave access to automatic phonographs and as soon as they aro perfected, head for the Nags He.'id Beach Club to really put the routine over. Recently Abe Wade, a young man from Raleigh who has bc& visiting here for sev eral weeks has become a master at tilts p.ist time. In Mantco.at Fear ing drug store this young cliap and Eloisc Burrus have worked out some quite difficult routines. A peculiar characteristic about tills chap, Wade, Is that the boys enjoy dancing with him as much as they do the girls and It all start ed last week when he dressed as a girl one night and attended tlie Beach Club. Now his most dashing cohort Is "Mollic" Mldgett who has been visiting here from Rodanthc for some time. A BRIEF SKETCH OP DOINGS AT THE BEACH from WEEK TO WEEK ‘New Sport—Rare Dancers' Bccomiag Accustomed To Shorts and Slacks "We have got to get used "to see ing boys and girls, men and women, attired In shorts, slacks, bathing suits and the like”, said Melvin R. Daniels, register of deeds of Dare County, In an address of welcome to the delegates of the Southern Albemarle Association here Widncs- day of tilts week. Mr. Daniels’ quo tation was made as a Josturc show ing how modern civilization has been taking advantage of the sum mer time privileges and plcAsuros which Dare County beaches afford. He was getting over the point that this association, one created lor the purpose of the development of Dare, Hyde, TS’rrell and Washington coun ties. should really get started on an extensive development program that would facilitate and encourage In land people to travel through tlic.se countlc.s commercially as well as for the pleasures this section affords. The Southern Albemarle route from. Central North Carolina through Wllliamston, Plymouth, Columbia and other smaller towns Is the route, this a.ssoclatlon Is trying to build. Dancing Beauty Is To Be Chosen Saturday night the management of the Beach Club, expects to choose a most beautiful girl to whom a handsome wrist watch Is to bd given as a premium. Brack r.., ‘Son, manager and owner of the club,’has not announced the full particulars of this event, but ft is a good time for the beauties to doll themselves up to the top notch any way. Be sides this, Saturday night is jack pot night again and some young lady will receive a crisp $10 bOl.if she’s lucky. ’•’! 38 9 14 'The‘ Navy •Reqrulting Station at New Bern, announces that the wait ing' list of desirable applicants is getting low rapidly and more ap^' plicants are needed. Tills affords the young men of this district an excellent opjxirtunlly to be called in for enlistment shortly after pass ing the required examinfitlons. The iWhltci boys are enlisted as Ap prentice Seamen and the (Colored) a-s Mess Attendants! two distinctive ly different lines. After being en listed they arc sent to the Naval Training Station at Hampton Roads, Virginia, where they undergo sixteen weeks of military tralnnig before being dclailcd to the ships of the U. S. Fleet. The recruiting station, in charge of T. P, O’Rourke, is open dally except Sunday and holidays for the Information and examina tion 'Of eligible applicants. Band Personnel Has Slight Change This week there has been a slight change in the personnel of the Camp bell Orchestra, which has become so popular at the Nags Head Beach Club. About two weeks ago Jimmy Farr, another Raleigh lad, joined the band as a trumpet player and this week Stanley Campbell, one of the four Campbell brotlicrs of the band, has left for Raleigh to resume other duties. Last week end the rest of the Campbell family was present at Nags Head. Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Campbell and their daughter and the other three boys. Now "Pop" Campbell is the master musician of tliem all, his favorite instrument being the violin. "Pop" brought his flddlo along with him and wants to take charge of the band, but Newell wouldn’t let him. Perhaps the folks at the beach missed something. Have Birthday Party At Beach Club Saturday Aside from the regul,ar routine of hundreds of N.\gs Head and local folk who were making merry at the Nags Head Beach Club last Satur day night a birthday party was be ing conductc-d at one of the-back tables. In honor of Alvcy Mldgett of Rodanthe, more widely known as “MolUe", this party was given by Miss Natalie Gould of Manteo., True enough, the young guest of honor was richly entertained with birth day cake and all the trimmings ex cept he claims it is his twenty sec ond anniversary. The thing that led guests to feel that he was kid ding a little about this was that before the most of the guests ar rived all the (handles had Ixcn Enatchpdr.from-the cake. Among Uiosq present were Na&llc Gould) Tot I^wis, Elolse Buirus, Nina Mldgett, Alma Lewis, Marietta Auotin, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Swain, BUl .Mpson and Belton Bur rus, ,all of Manteo; Jimmie H^re, Andy Bfck and Abe Wade "of !Ral- elgh: T.
