MANTEO, N. C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1951
Dare County Delegates Describes Work
Os Conference On Children and Youth
Attended by over 6,000 Persons From All Parts of the
World, the ,White House Conference Was a Forum
for the Exchange of Ideas About Children and Youth.
(Editor’s Note: This is the
first part of a two-part article
written by Mrs. David Stick of
Kitty Hawk about her experiences
at the Midcentury White House
Conference on Children and Youth
held last month in the nation’s
capital. She attended the confer
ence as the representative of the
Dare County Council for Services
to Children and Youth in the
North Carolina delegation of 54
persons. This is a well-written re
port, extremely interesting to
read, quite aside from the impor

MANTEO CAGERS
HIT FAST PACE
IN 49-22 WIN
The Manteo high school boys
team treated the Kitty Hawk club
and the largest crowd of the sea
son to an exhibition of its best
basket-shooting form Tuesday
night, and the sharp • display was
good enough to give Manteo a 49
to 22 victory.
Most pleasing thing about the
performance of Coach Fry’s squad
from the fans’ standpoint was the
well-balanced attack. All of the
regulars were potent scorers
Tuesday, and any reasonable fac
simile of the same brand of all
around offensive play in future
games will be a guarantee of de
fensive-headaches for Manteo’s
opponents. The evenly-spread
scoring for Manteo went this
way: Jack Cahoon and Carroll
Wescott had 10 points apiece;
Steve Basnight racked up nine;
Punk Daniels, eight; Everett Liv
erman, six; Pete Daniels, four;
and Ray Jones, Jr., two.
' Girls Win 33-14
While the boys game was much
faster and more closely contested
than the score indicates, the Man
teo girls had an easy time down
ing the Kitty Hawk sextet, 33-14.
Kitty Hawk’s scoring was divid
ed between three forwards, C. and
M. Haywood and Rogers. Betty
Rae Sanderlin led the local girls
with 12 points; and, as always,
Doreen Midgett played an excel
lent game in the back court.
LOST COLONY’S
1951 BUDGET IS
SET AT $87,205
Directors' of the Roanoke Is
land Historical Association meet
ing in Raleigh last Friday adopt
ed a budget of $87,205 for the
1951 production of The Lost Col
ony. This figure is slightly small
er than the total of expenditures
for the 1950 production.
An estimate of 1951 income
from the drama of $101,500 was
made by General Manager Bill
Hardy of Chapel Hill. A box of
fice net of $90,000 would be re
quired to reach the income figure
estimated by Hardy.
Royalty
There is no provision in this
year’s budget for the payment of
a royalty to author Paul Green.
Last year, under terms of a vol
untary agreement, Mr. Green re
ceived nearly $4,000, the first roy
alties he has been paid from pro
ceeds of the Lost Colony produc
tion on Roanoke Island. Harry
McMullan, state attorney-general,
told the board of directors that
he doubted that the Association,
a North Carolina' state agency,
had the authority to pay royalties
on the play because it holds title
to it.
Chauncey Meekins, Manteo, As
sociation treasurer, reported that
$699.10 had been received from
the sale of commemorative coins
owned by the Historical Associa
tion.
Others from Roanoke Island at
tending the meeting in the Hall
of History at Raleigh were Mar
tin Kellogg, R. Bruce Etheridge,
I. P. Davis, association secretary,
T. S. Meekins and Aycock Brown.
Mrs. Katherine Arrington of
Warrenton told the group that the
Society of Antiquities was inter
ested in financing a construction
program to make parts of the re
stored site of Fort Raleigh, where
the play is produced, more au
thentic. The proposal was refer
red to the liaison committee, of
which John Parker of Chapel Hill
is chairman.
The possibility that the Garden
Club of North Carolina may spon
sor a Shakespearian garden at or
near the Fort was explained to
the directors by Mrs. Charles
Cannon of Concord. The liaison
committee was instructed to de
termine from Park Service offi
cials whether or not such a pro
ject could be approved.

Kellogg Supply Company
Made Notable Cains Dur
ing Five Years
The Kellogg Supply Company,
of Manteo and Nags Head, is one
of Dare county’s newer business
firms. Its success in the short per
iod of its existence illustrates the
accelerated volume of commercial
enterprise in this area in recent
years. The rapidity of its growth
illustrates just as clearly the fore
sight and business ability of the
Company’s management.
When Gerdon Kellogg, president
and general manager of the cor
poration, fixed upon Manteo as the
place for the location of the busi
ness in 1945, he did so because
he foresaw the possibilities in
Dare county for great expansion in
the construction business. Although
most people recognized the pos
sibilities more slowly than Mr.
Kellogg, the long rows of homes
and commercial buildings newly
constructed along the Bodie Island
beaches make it very easy for any
one today to agree that Kellogg in
1946 was perfectly righ in his de
cision. The fact is, it is now diffi
cult for Kellogg to name construc
tion projects along the beach, be
gun since 1945 that his firm has
had no part in supplying. “Some
times we supply only a little for
a building job; often we supply
all the materials. ,
Expansion
The business began in one large
warehouse building which the com
pany put up along the highway
northwest of Manteo in 1945. It
was soon necessary to construct
another smaller building, near the
first one, to house the workshop
and the machine tools the com
pany uses in its work. In 1948 a
Nags Head branch of the Kellogg
Co. was opened on the west side
of Highway 158 in a two-story
building with a handsome display
room, carrying a complete supply
line from electric extension cords
and electric appliances to asbestos
siding and roofing, paint, shellac,
turpentine, hinges, brackets, soil
pipe, plumbers’ supplies and pipe
fittings. Behind the building is a
lumber yard and a smaller build
ing for storage.

MANTEO DEFEATS
BUXTON 52-26;
GIRLS BEATEN
The boys from Cape Hatteras
high school at Buxton came up
to try out the court at Manteo
last Friday night and gave the
large crowd a good exhibition, al
though Coach Fry’s more exper
ienced squad defeated them by a
score of 52-26 score. The team
from the Banks evidenced plenty
of latent talent and, if it had a
chance to get more experience in
competition, the Cape Hatteras
club would undoubtedly develop
into a first-rate set of eagers.
Al Gray, Boyd Jennette, Ron
ald Styron and Jackie Rollinson
performed at the forward posts
for the visitors; S. Tollson played
center; and Billy Gaskill, Eddy
Styron, Harold Gray and John O’-
Neal were guards. Tollson led the
visiting team’s scoring with 8
points; Eddy Styron got 7, Billy
Gaskill 5, Al Gray 4, and Boyd
Jennette the other two points.
The entire Manteo squad sr •
action. Carroll Wescott with 14
points led the scoring.
H. S. Girls Upset
A basket by Janie Etheridge
with about a minute left to play
gave the Mqnteo All Stars girls
<*lnb a 26-25 decision over the
high school sextet. Coach Ayers
used his entire squad and gave
a number of the bench brigade a
chance to see more competion
than they have ever had before.
Janie Etheridge was the game’s
high scorer with 15 points.
STUMPY POINT BOY
WITH ARMED FORCES
RCT. KENNETH W. PAYNE of
Stumpy Point, son of Oscar and
Doris E. Payne, enlisted in Octo
ber at the age of 17 years. He
had a strong desire to serve the
colors and persuaded his parents
to give permission; is now in
Fort Jackson, S. C., taking basic
training. He had worked a year
as a nylon machine operator in
an Elizabeth City mill, and left
his job to enter the Army.
AFTER 30 YRS. SERVICE,
RETIRED WITH HONORS
Julian H. Austin Now Has Oppor
tunity to Return to Old Home
Near Cape Hatteras
Julian H. Austin of Frisco,
Dare County, last week was re
tired with honors from the U.S.
Coast Guard, and was presented
with the Albert Gallatin Award
for meritorius service. Capt. Stan
ley C. Linholm, commanding of
ficer of the Elizabeth City Air
Station made the award on behalf
of the Secretary of the Treasury.
He served in the Coast Guard for
32 years.
At the time of his retirement,
he was keeper of the Wades Point
light at the mouth of Pasquotank
River. He had served in many
other lighthouses, including Roa
noke River, Roanoke Marshes,
Bodie Island, and on the Chesa
peake Bay, where he married Miss
Catherine Dobson.
He has always had it in mind
to return to his home in Frisco,
where he lived for many years.
Since he left Frisco to live in
Elizabeth City a hard-surface
road has been built by the door
of the Frisco home. He will re
turn to find many changes. Dur
ing his time in the service, the
village of Frisco decreased in
size, as the older heads died off,
and younger people moved away
in search of larger opportunities.
The school has been abandoned,
but a new church has been built.
His mother and grandfather, and
uncles and many other relatives
have passed on.
Julian Austin loves the outer
banks. He is the grandson of a
faithful old citizen, the late W.
H. Poyner, who for many years
was a leader in the affairs of the
community. There are many who
remain faithful to Frisco, and
want to see it regain its former
status as a thriving community.
The Austins will find a ready wel
come when they return to the old
home, old friends and old neigh
bors.
The Albert Gallatin Award for
meritorious service was establish
ed by President John Quincy Ad
ams more than a century and a
quarter ago. Mr. Austin has thus
joined a select group of his coun
try’s servants who have received
the signal honor.

MARCH OF DIMES
’ GOAL IN COUNTY
SET AT $1,500
Three devastating years of the
I worst polio epidemics in history
| have wiped out patient care funds
of the National Foundation for In-
I fantile Paralysis, and left unpaid
! bills of $5,000,000.
So the 1951 March of Dimes,
which opened this week, must
raise $50,000,000 nationally, and
I $1,500.00 in Dare County.
This sum is essential to enable
I the Foundation and its local
Chapters to provide financial aid,
equipment and skilled workers for
the thousands of children and ad
ults who will be victims this year,
and for those needing care from
earlier years. Also, the Founda
tion must continue to pay for re
search in the treatment and pre-
• vention of polio, and the training
I of professional personnel.
“Let us meet this financial cris
is. and give freely to conquer this
1 vicious polio enemy,” Dare Coun
: ty March of Dimes Campaign Di-
Mrs. Balfour Baum, Dare
March of Dimes Campaign
Chairman, announced the
names of local chairmen for
the Dare anti-polio drive early
this week, after her return
from a state meeting of Coun
ty Chairmen in Raleigh last
weekend. Local drive leaders
are:
► Avon, Mrs. Percy Williams;
Buxton, Mrs. Maude White;
• Colington, Mrs. Lewis Meek
ins; Duck, Mrs. Carrie Beals;
East Lake, Mrs. Emily Smith;
Hatteras, Mrs. Levin Fulcher;
Dare Beaches, Mrs. Nellie

Dorothy Taylor; Rodanthe,
Mrs. Fred O’Neal; Salvo, Mrs.
Melvina Whidbee; Stumpy
Point, Mrs. Beatrice Meekins;
Waves, Mrs. Cedric Midgett;
Frisco, Mrs. Lois Rollinson.
In Manteo the drive will be
conducted under the sponsor
ship of the Dare County Teen-
Age Center, the Rotary and
Lions Clubs. The Colored Drive
will be under the chairmanship
of Agathia Gray. The March
of Dimes Ball, to be held Jan
uary 27 at the Manteo school
gymnasium, is under the direc
tion of Bob Smith. Mrs. Mary
I Mann Evans and Miss Ruth
Evans are in charge of the
bridge and canasta party to be
held as a March of Dimes ben
efit at the Fort Raleigh Hotel
it 8 p.m. on Monday. Principal
L. W. Huggins is organizing
the Manteo school for the
,*ampaign. The Dare Teen-Age
Center will conduct the activ
ities of a Tag Day for the
Vlarch of Dimes.
1 rector Mrs. Balfour Baum urged
the citizens of Dare.
Polio struck down well over 30,-
• 000 children and adults in 1950.
1 This was the second worst year
in the history of this crippling
and costly disease.
1 Your dimes and dollars given
’ to the Dare County March of
1 Dimes will enable the National
‘ Foundation for Infantile Paraly
-1 sis to give help promptly to ev
' ery polio patient in need. Half
the money raised remains with
the local Chapter for local pa
tients or, in emergencies, supple
ments national epidemic aid
wherever needed.
Last year in Dare County 1 per
son had polio, and another may
' have had polio, Director Baum
said. The Chapter spent $177.00
for patient aid. The Dare Chapter
sent $350 to aid the National
Foundation in 1949 and 1950.
Money received from the National
Foundation totalled $7,700,000 to
990 Chapters in 46 states, toward
the $25,000,000 patient bill for
1950.
