Smyrna is all a?tir with ex citement over the county tourna ment, which began Monday night in Newport. All of us were look ing forward to it. I surely hope our teams make a good showing. Lost of luck. Blue Devils! We are looking forward, boys to your re deeming yourselves after that de feat by Beaufort last Friday night! Poor Linda! I wonder that she doesn't have a brain concussion! Linda Willis, in French elass Tues day, knocked over the movie screen and fell under it, giving herself quite a bump on the head. She really caused an uproar in the class. French was forgotten while everyone had a really good laugh? that is, after we were sure that she was not hurt. Last week 1 forgot to include in the list of exam exemptions the typing students. They are Judy Thompson, Jean Willis, Charles Styron, Wayne Davis, and Nancy Pake. Please accept my apologies. Tuesday Dr. Herbert Webb met with the science club. He made a very interesting talk on the trials, tribulations, and satisfac tions to be found on the long road to becoming a medical doctor. Ev eryone is looking forward to his coming back. Last Thursday students in junior Engjish were subject to a horror show. Mrs. Salter read The Tell Tale Heart, by Edgar Allan Poe. It was certainly frightening, espe cially with Mrs. Salter reading it. She made us lay our heads on our desk and close our eyes to get into the proper mood. Shackleford (Continued from Page 1) needed: the high wall of sand to protect vegetation now, and the groins and jetties to protect the man-made dune and build up the land seaward. Still others say that the banks are eroding from the sound side. That is probably true to some ex tent. But on the sound side vege tation is growing close to the wa ter's edge and is helping to hold the land in place. Those who doubt that the wind and salt spray are the biggest cul prits in this fight to save the banks might think back to Hazel. The winds were high in that hurricane, salt spray was carried so far in land that shrubs around homes turned brown. The tops of pine trees took on a dead look. It took a couple years for them to come back. Had these growing things been subjected to the high wind and spray, day after day, as is the vegetation on the outer banks, they would have died? just as the ce dars have on the windward side of Shackleford. Many of the persons who use Shackleford as a beach and play area in the summer time would like to see the animals off. They say that the animals smell, attract flies, and in general are a nuis ance. Who owns the animals? Some of the owners claim them. Most deny that the animals are theirs. So the sheep, goats, cows and pigs are left to run wild, breed and multiply. Guesses as to how many animals are on Shackleford range from a hundred to 500. Nobody really knows. You can't count them from the air, because the smaller animals take cover in the undergrowth. If you try to count them on foot, you'd have to round them up in one place (practically impossible) be cause you'd never be able to tell, otherwise, whether you'd counted one bunch of goats twice. Right now, Shackleford can sup port only so many animals. An expert in animal husbandry would have to determine ho* many. When the elements have com pleted their destructive work, all the vegetation has died and the sea is cutting inlets through Shackleford the way it is on Core Banks, then Shackleford can sup port no animals. They'll chew up every last blade of grass that grows? soon there won't be any more grits. NOT because the ani mals ate it all, but because the poison salt spray first took away the grass that would have grown had it been protected from the sea and wind. American History students have been making talks about the cultur al life of the United States from 1850-1900. One of these was espe cially enjoyable. Vaughn Yeomans discussed the history of the bas ketball game. Did you know that the first bas ketball game was played in Spring field, Mass.? That's one thing those northerners have on us!

Collins Jr. and children of Princess Ann, Va., spent last week end with his mother, Mrs. Lutie Collins. The Rev. James E. Smith filled his regular appointment at our church on the fifth and first Sun day mornings. The MYF members from here attended the sub-district meeting at Sea Level last week. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Beachem are up and about after a siege wit|i the flu. Mrs. Thelma Whitehurst is still confined to the Sea Level Hospital. We are hoping that she will soon be able to come home.

The program, This is the Day, was given by Mrs. Tred Boswell for Mrs. 11a Simpson. It was very good and enjoyed by all. A short business session followed the p/ogram. JACQUIN'S *1 $141 PWT J Board (Continued from Page 1) Cost of that work is expected to run slightly over $2,000. Available now to meet that expense, Mr. Coyle says, is $1,700. The board agreed that if additional street work can be done and the total cost met by Sept. 1, the work will be contracted S. A. Horton, supplier of water in town, offered a proposal where by the town might be able to get a standpipe and fire hydrants. Mr. Horton suggests that the water rent be doubled until the system paid. A. B. Cooper, mayor, who ex plained the proposal to the board, said that the resultant reduction in fire insurance rates would prob ably pay for the increased water rent. After the standpipe and hy drants are paid, he said, the water rent would revert to its present rate. The board agreed that the mat ter was worth investigating and asked Mr. Horton to consult with a fire insurance underwriter to get illustrative figures on how the fire insurance rates might be affected. Hubert J. Baysden, garbage con tractor, was told that in the future garbage will be dumped on the Morehead City dump, since no new location can be found on Bogue banks for the dumping. The town will pay Morehead City for permis sion to use the dump. The board ordered barricading of the present road into the beach dump. The town states that oth ers who have been dumping there will have to find a new place. Mr. Baysden was asked to place a heavy canvas over the truck when he leaves the beach to dump trash in Morehead City. The board is continuing its search for property where the trash might be dumped on Bogue banks. The clerk read a letter from W. F. Babcock, director of highways, relative to widening the road be tween the beach and the bridge. Mr. Babcock said the State High way commission advance planning department will check on the mat ter and confer with the division en gineer. The clerk was authorized to in form J. L. Humphrey, county road superintendent, about a drainage problem on the Salter Path road between the town hall and the in tersection. The board also requested that I cost of a different type sign be in- 1 vestigated. Mr. Coyle pointed out that the neon sign at 24th and Arendell in Morehead City, which directs motorists to the beach, is expensive to keep in repair and in creases electricity costs to the town. Police chief Bill Moore was au | thorized to buy 2,400 feet of manila rope for the swimming area. He i was also authorized to change stop signs at certain intersections. Chief Moore reported that he is giving two hours of instruction weekly to Civil Defense auxiliary police and prospective police of ficers. He said he is stressing courteous relations with the public. Mr. Coyle said that Carteret Plumbing Co. had not yet put in the shellbox drain authorized to correct a drainage problem on W. Boardwalk.
