get a lot of pleasure from watching
the sailing vessels go through the
inlet. Sometimes she got a chance
to go into the Coast Guard station’s
tower and by looking through the

“spy glass”., she could see folks
walking around at Hatteras.
Storms have hit Ocracoke often.
Some have been fierce, others not
so bad. Mrs. Bragg said that in all
the storms ;shc’d been through
she’s never seen a tree blow over!
Many trees and even homes have
gone down, she said, but she never
saw one in the actual process of
being blown over.
One of Mrs. Bragg's most vivid
memories concerns a shipwreck
that occurred when she was about
12 or 13 years old. A steamboat
went aground and its crew mem
bers lowered lifeboats and tried to
reach shore.
The lifeboats overturned in the
surf and many of the men drown
ed. Mrs. Bragg doesn’t recall ex
actly how many were lost, but she
estimates there must have been
about 20 or more.
The men were all buried in the
same place on the north end of the
island. The cemetery was in a low
place among the dunes. Mrs.
Bragg recalls that each grave had
a marker telling the man’s name
and hometown, his age, the date he
drowned and his job aboard the
ship.
Each grave was outlined with
conch shells, and smaller shells
were put on top of the graves.
The memory Mrs. Bragg holds

and her sister took some flowers
to the cemetery. When they reach
ed the spot they saw the graves,
each with its own marker, the sun
bleached shells and, over it all a
profusion of wild morning glories.
Mrs. Bragg declares that was
the most beautiful sight she ever
saw. She believes now that the
cemetery is completely washed
away.
She remembers another ship
wreck well. It was the loss of an
English ship in the early forties,
during the second world war.
Three bodies washed ashore and
were buried at Ocracoke. One of
them was a lieutenant Cunning
ham, who had a gold watch.
The watch was removed before
the lieutenant was buried and li
ter, while touring Europe, Miss
Fannie Pearl Fulcher of Ocracoke
went to visit the lieutenant’s family
and returned the watch to them.
The cemetery where the three
Englishmen lie is maintained by
the British embassy in Washing

it in shape is done by the Coast
Guardsmen and on special occa

Islanders Renew Plea
For Short-Cut Bridge
Residents of Harkers Island told
state highway department officials
at Harkers Island Wednesday af
ternoon that they’d like a bridge
from Harkers Point across to Len
nox villc.
Attending a meeting at the Ilark
ers Island Methodist educational
building were H. G. Phillips, state
highway commissioner for this dis
trict; Charles Snell, division engi
neer, and C. Y. Griffin, district
engineer.
The officials came here in res
ponse to a request from island
residents who were concerned
about surveying under way at the
present bridge.
The highway department said
that it plans to build a new draw
about 40 or 50 feet west of the
present draw, curve the present
bridge tp meet it, later take out
the old draw, and eventually join
a new bridge to the new draw.
Island residents voiced the opin
ion that such a thing would be
both dangerous and unnecessary.
A bridge no longer needs a draw
span in it for the size boats travel
ling the straits, they said. The pre
First Glance at New Type
License Card Bugs Drivers
The state motor vehicles depart
ment changed an Jan. 2 the type of
card it sends a motorist authoriz
ing him to drive a car. There’s one
kind of “license,” a metal tag you
screw on your car or truck. There’s
another kind — the card you us
ually carry in your wallet or purse,
it’s the card kind that's causing
all the trouble, according to David
Morris, license examiner in this
county.
• Since the first of the year, a
motorist whose license is about to
expire gets a long card in the mail.
This is commonly known as an
“IBM card" or business machine
card.
Mr. Morris says if you get this
card, TAKE IT TO HIM. Don’t try
to fill it out. Don’t do anything with
it. Just take it to him when you go
to take your written exam to obtain
a new license.
This card usually arrives about
30 days before your license expires.
Jack Wardlaw
To Speak Here
The County Association of Life
Underwriters will meet at noon to
day in the dining room of the Hotel
Fort Macon, Morehead City.
Jack Wardlaw, renowned sales
executive in the insurance profes
sion, will be the principal speaker.
Mr. Wardlaw, in addition to be
ing a life member of the Million
Dollar Round Table, and vice-pre
sident of the ^rea III National As
sociation of Life Underwriters, has
had several books published on the
art of salesmanship; and his re
cording, Thought plus Action, was
released by Success Motivation
Institute of Waco, Texas.
Mr. Wardlaw resides in Raleigh
where he has his own agency. Due
to the absence of Clifford Tilgh
man, president of the local associa
tion, Frank Cassiano, first vice
president, will preside.
Measbers of the association are
invited to bring interested guests.
One of Mr. Wardlaw’s recordings
Wia be <l.tn »« a prtte.
sent bridge spans the straits be
tween the island and the main
land.
They suggested that a bridge,
also without a draw, be built from
Markers Island to Lennoxville (the
east end of Beaufort) and that the
present bridge he allowed to re
main, without a draw.
A bridge from Markers Island to
Lennoxville (across the mouth of
North River) has been sought for
years. Before the present bridge
to Markers Island was built, there
was strong sentiment in favor of
a bridge to Lennoxville from the
island. That route would shorten
the trip to Beaufort by 13 or 14
miles, the islanders say.
Highway officials said that the
proposal was worth copsidering.
They asked the island residents to
sign a petition to that effect and
take it before the county board of
commissioners.
County officials present were
William Roy Hamilton, chairman
of the county board; commission
ers C. Z. Chappell and Rudolph
Mason, register of deeds Odell
Merrill, and county auditor Ronald
Earl Mason.
i In thi*»state, your driver's license
|ekpif$s every four years.
After you take your written test
and eye test and pass, the state
motor vehicles department will
eventually send you your license, a
card that you trim, DOUBLE
FOLD and put in your wallet.
On one side of the card is a block
that says “Code." There may be a
zero there or a number. The key
to what the numbers mean appears
on the other half of the card.
The code tells what restrictions
pertain to you as a driver. Either
you have to wear glasses or you
can’t drive at night or you can’t
drive over a certain number of
miles an hour.
This double fold license card is
also an IBM affair AND where the
code key appears are several
square holes that mean nothing to
anybody, unless you’re an IBM
machine.
Drivers, however, see these little
square holes punched all over the
code key and immediately jump to
the conclusion that they can drive
only under the restrictions “punch
ed” on their license.
Mr. Morris said he got a call
from a driver who was very upset.
The man said, "You got me so
tied up I don’t dare drive my car
down there (o see what it’s all
about.”
If there’s a “2” under the “code”
block on your license, the “2” re
fers only to the restriction number
ed “2” under the keyed explana
tion.
So if you’re a “victim” of the
new machine-age license cards,
read what it says on them, but ig
nore those little square holes.
The driver license examiner is on
duty at the Morehead City town
hall Tuesdays and Wednesdays, at
the Beaufort courthouse Thurs
days and Fridays and at the sher
iffs office in Havelock (near the
Colonial store) Mondays.
House Resolution

County Plans to Borrow
Two Million Dollars
Principals, school board members and a PTA presi
dent yesterday expressed their reactions to an announce
ment that the county commissioners plan to call for a two
million dollar school bond referendum.
County commissioners and board of education mem
bers decided at a closed meeting Monday night at the
courthouse that they would ask people to approve borrow
ing two million dollars. ThaH
amount of money, with $800,000 to
be available June 30 wpuld, accord
ing to the officials, do the follow
ing:
• Build the East and West Car
teret high schools
• Build an elementary school at
White Oak
• Provide additions at W. S. King
and Queen Street schools.
• Renovate all existing schools
Kenneth Wagner, chairman of the
Camp Glenn school board, said yes
terday, •'Sometimes I’m for the
bond issue and sometimes Pin
against it. We can’t do everything
that has to be done. If we spend
money for a hospital first, I
wouldn't be in favor of $2 million
for schools. We're building things
we DON’T need. Nothing is needed
as badly as we need schools.”
Jack Johnson, principal of At
lantic school, said, ”1 don't know
know what this $2 million is for. I
can’t say what 1 think about it un
til I see more about what they’re
going to do with it.”
II. G. Simpson, a member of the
Beaufort school board since last
May, declared, “If there’s any
thing we can do to get better
► schools in this county, I’m for it."
II. S. Gibbs Jr„ chairman of the
Morehcad City school board re
marked, “I think this is money
that is badly needed. Our school
facilities arc woefully behind the
times. Two million and possibly
much more is needed to bring us
up to standard. I'm all for it, I
wish we could ask for more.”
Nathan Gamer, a member of
the Newport school board, asked,
“What would $2 million do? I’d
want to know where they plan to
use it before I’d say whether I’m
in favor of it. Two million dollars
wouldn’t do the job we have to do
in new schools.”
Ray Futrell, principal of Smyr
na school said, “I think any way
we can improve our educational
facilities is a way of progress for
education. If people knew the ad
vantages of consolidation, there
would be no question about a bond
issue going through.
“Some families say they hate
to give up their school . . . but the
elementary school is still going to
be at the same place. By voting
for the bond issue there will be no
higher tax rate. It would be a
great help to our children to con
solidated
Dr. John Costlow, president of
the Beaufort Parent-Teacher asso
ciation, said, “If they feel this can
improve the schools considerably,
I’m all for it. I’d like to know a
little more about it. We shouldn’t
rush headlong just for the sake of
doing something.”
In a formal statement released
Wednesday afternoon, the county
commissioners say that the $2 mil
lion debt would be paid off in 12
years “with our present tax rate.”
William Roy Hamilton, chair
man of the county board of com
missioners, said, "It is our sin
cere hope that this forward step
by county government will be look
ed upon favorably by the people
... It is the intention of the board
of commissioners to consider this
only the first major step in fulfill
ing our pledge to give our child
ren the best in education that we
can afford. Every consideration
will be given to make more money
available through future budgeting
to speed our renovations of each
school to its completion as quick
ly as possible.”
One person contacted yesterday
who asked that he not be identi
fied said that he could not under
stand how the county commission
ers and board of education, clo
seted with each other, could de
ckle that $2 million will do what
is most in need of being done.
It was his opinion that at least
the principals of each school or
the chairmen of each school board
should be consulted.

Cedar Point
Firemen Limit
Their Services
Effective today, the Cedar Point
fire department will answer calls
only from persons who are mem
bers in good standing with the
department. A resolution limiting
the action of the fire department
was passed at the recent meeting
of the Cedar Point Community
club, which sponsors the fire de
partment, according to P. L. Burt,
club secretary.
Mr. Burt said that since the or
ganization of the fire department,
it had been the policy to answer
all calls in White Oak township.
Because most efforts to collect
from non-member fires have been
disappointing and because efforts
to increase the membership in
1962 proved futile, the community
club voted to curb the number of
calls answered by the department.
Membership dues are $10 per
year. Anyone who would like to
renew dues or become a new mem
ber is invited to contact Lealon
Crumpler, fire chief, or Mr. Burt.
Checks may bu mailed to Cedar
Point Community Club, Inc., Route
1 Box 252, Swamboro.
Mr. Burt reports that last .year
the Cedar Point fire depmffment
answered seven calls. Three were
grass fires, one wai a home, one
was a tobacco barn, one was an
overturned automobile and one
was a false alarm.
Three calls were from depart
ment members. All other calls
were public service and mutual
aid calls and resulted in approxi
mately $5,500 in property losses,
Mr. Burt said.
The community club is current
ly working to get fire insurance
rates in the district reduced, Mr.
Burt added, and when this be
comes a reality it will mean a
savings to insurance policyhold
ers.
He urged every homeowner in
White Oak township to contact him
or Mr. Crumpler or mail their
membership dues to the communi
ty club.
