Evans, supervis or of Dare County schools, has a new kind of worry—the county schools’ Spring Festival to be held Manteo next Friday, May 4, peals to so many school chil dren in the Lower Banks schools that Mrs. Evans wonders how transportation for them all can be arranged. One hundred fifteen children from Hatteras Island have signified their intention of Mking in the Festival. Arrange ments for transportation will be made, all right; and the great demonstration of interest in the Spring Festival must be encour aging to all the pupils and teach ers who have worked so hard on |£he exhibits and the “Drama of Dare” skits and the entrants in the field events program of the day. Exhibit Judges Judges for the exhibits which will be on display next Friday Mave been announced. They are Miss Lessie Pearce of William ston, Miss Bettie Swindell o{ En gelhard and Mrs. Hilda BrunVsey of Currituck.

Although the shrimping season will not open until July 1, Engel hard already is getting set for the biggest and best three months in its history. At least one buyer, Harry Jar vis, has a building under construc tion, to be ready for the busy time..

Neal, Maynard Meekins, George Clark of Belhaven, Oliver Davis of Beaufort, Dick O’Neal of New Holland and Carroll Cro ckett of Colerain. The shrimping season brings int SEA-AIR RESCUE OFF HATTERAS A sea-air rescue was accom plished Saturday amid swelling seas and strong winds off Cape Hatteras. The merchant vessel S. S. Absirto radioed the Hatteras Coast Guard Station that a sea man had broken both legs, one arm and Buffered a brain concus sion when he fell down the hatch of the boat. The merchant ship was directed to a sea buoy off Hatteras Inlet where a surf boat from the shore station nyst it and picked up the injured man. In the meantime, Lts. Waters and Bow ers of the Elizabeth City Coast Guard Station had been dispatch ed to the scene in an amphibious flying boat. After considerable difficulty the man was transfer red from the surf boat to the plane via a life raft; the surf boat could not move in alongside the plane tq effect the transfer be cause of the high seas and wind. The flying boat carried the in jured seaman to Norfolk, where he was entered at the Marine Hos pital. ONE CASE TRIED, TWO POSTPONED TUESDAY Little conclusive business was transacted in Judge W. F. Baum’s recorder’s court Tuesday after noon. Willie Edward Spencer, whose hearing on an assault charge was continued from last week because of the absence of a prosecuting witness, did not show up in court himself this week. Judge Baum directed that Spen cer’s bondsman, Orlando Burrus, be notified that the SSO bond would be forfeited if Spencer did not appear next Tuesday, and or dered that a capus be issued for Spencer. The judge directed that hearing in the De Febio case be continued until May 15, or until such there after as the defendant is able to appear. Dave Whitson pleaded not guil ty to drunkenness on the public streets on April 22. Chief of Po lice M. C. Mitchell, who arrested Whitson at 4 p.m. that day, took the stand and answered questions from Solicitor Kellogg and from Mr. Whitson. Whitson took the stand in his own defense. At the conclusion of testimony Judge Baum found the defendant guilty and ordered him to pay a fine of $5 and the costs of court. WANCHESE RURITANS SEEK ACTION ON ROAD The Wanchese Ruritan Club held its April meeting Friday night at the schoolhouse at 7:30 p.m. Aycock Brown, W. R. Pearce and Keith Fearing, Sr., of Man teo, were guests of the club and each spoke briefly. Wayland Baum, chairman of the road committee, reported that the committee is to have an appoint ment with Commissioner Shelton soon at which the matter of sur facing the road in Wanchese from the Masonic Lodge 'to the resi dence of Willie Etheridge will be discussed. Dinner was prepared and serv ed by the ladies of the Wanchese Methodist W.S.C.S. SALE GROSSES $290 The broom sale conducted here for the benefit of the state’s blind persons by the Manteo Lions Club last Thursday, Friday and Satur day resulted in $290 gross re ceipts from the sale of brooms and mats. The result is somewhat disappointing because the door-to door sale had to be cut short by the arrival of the truck to collect the brooms on Saturday noon; the canvass planned for Saturday af ternoon could not, therefore, be made. The Lions wish to thank all those persons who assisted them in their effort to aid the blind by purchasing brooms or ma.ts. hundreds of boats, some from as far away as Florida and Georgia. At Engelhard alone, 210 boats were licensed last season. Os these only about 26 were opera ted by Engelhard men. More than 1500 boats were licensed last year for the state. The 60-mile stretch of water from Long Shore lighthouse to the mouth of the Neuse river is said to be one of the best shrimp ing areas. Most of the shrimp ta<- ken in that section are sold in Engelhard. Engelhard’s five-month oyster season,, which ended March 1, was reported to have been better than the previous year. MANTEO OFFICIALS TO BE UNOPPOSED AT MAY 8 ELECTION Manteo’s present town board ■ and mayor will be unopposed for re-etdetion at the biennial town election. That was determined Monday night at an extremely brief, very quiet little meeting in the county courtroom, when Man teo Chief of Police M. C. Mitchell nominated all present members of ■ the board and>the mayor for their present posts, and Selden Midgett seconded the nominations. No other candidates • were pro posed, and the Manteo town con vention was opened and closed in something less than fifteen min utes. More time was used in get i ting the courtroom door unlocked than it took to transact the busi ness of the convention. This coming election would hardly appear to be classifiable as heated, or even tepid, if Monday’s convention is any indication of voter’s interest. Six persons in all showed up for the nominating convention, Mayor Martin Kellogg and Chairman of the Board G. T. Wescott, whose presence was nec essary to make the meeting offi cial, M. C. Mitchell, Selden Mid gett, Sheriff Frank Cahopn. vyho was called to unlock the meeting place, and a reporter. Town officers renominated are Mayor Martin Kellogg, Town Commissioners G. T. Wescott, Sam Midget and Monde Daniels, Jr. The town election is scheduled for May 8. Some votes may be cast. WASH.

Warning Signs “Concerning the erection of signs warning motorists against driving on the deep sand shoul ders along US Route 158 from Kitty Hawk south through Nags Head; I have also instructed our Sign Department to prepare and erect signs warning traffic to keep off of deep sand shouders. These signs will at least serve as a warning to the traveling public that they may be in difficulties if they attempt to park on the shoulders.

NO DRAFT EXAMINATIONS TO BE GIVEN DURING MAY Chairman Robert Ballance of the Dare Selective Service Board has received notification from Col. Thos. H.

ADDRESSES TEACHERS Register of Deeds Melvin Dan iels is to be the principal speaker at a meeting of the Currituck Teachers Association meeting at i the Masonic Hall in Coinjock, Tuesday, May 1, at 7:SO p.m. Single Copy 7# D. C., taxi driver, was notified of her husband’s attempt on his life Sunday. She appeared in Manteo, accompanied by a man from Washington, on Tuesday morning. Sheriff Cahoon said on Tuesday that hospital officials told him in Elizabeth City on Monday that De Febio had expressed his sorrow at making the suicide attempt and was regretful for all the trouble he had caused county officials. Juvenile Court Hearing A hearing has been called for Friday morning at 10 o’clock be fore Juvenile Court Judge Chaun cey S. Meekins, at which Frank and Theo De Febio have been summoned to appear and show cause why the three children, Theodore Thomas De Febio, 8, and Dennis De Febio, 8, an adopted child, have not been placed in school. Dominick De Febio, 4, is the couple’s third child. Sheriff Cahoon served a sum mons for her appearance upon Mrs. De Febio Tuesday morning. Background De Febio was jailed for the third time in recent months on Wednesday of last week upon complaints charging him with va grancy, violating the compulsory school attendance laws and with contributing to the delinquency of minor children. The complaints were sworn out by Mrs. T. S. Meekins, Jr., Superintendent of Public Welfare, and Sheriff Ca hoon. The three De Febio children have not been entered in school since the father served out con secutive sentences in Dare Coun ty Jail, the first for contempt of court, when he refused to answer questions of the county solicitor, Martin Kellogg, at his hearing last December; the second upon his refusal to pay" a $5 fine as sessed when he was found guilty of violating school attendance laws. During the time De Febio spent in jail previously, the chil dren were entered in Manteo school and placed in the care of the Welfare Department. At present the older are attending Wanchese school, and all are again under the Welfare Depart ment’s care. De Febio was to have been tried in recorder’s court on Tuesday upon the new complaints. Judge W. F. Baum continued the De Febio case for three weeks, or until the defendant is able to appear in court. Letters That De Febio’s suicide attempt may not have been long contem -1 plated is evidenced by two letters he mailed from his cell to the ed itor of this paper. The first, dated April 19, the day he re-entered jail, was a brief note of complaint about what he called the insuffi cient amount of food served to in mates of the Dare County Jail. The second, undated, wa3 appar ently written later, and has some thing of the tone of a suicide note: To the Editor: For those who had any un derstanding for ns we give thanks. For those who helped us in any way we are grateful. ,r " , Sincerely, Frank J. De Febio i ! Mrs. De Febio (Theo T.), 36, like her husband, is apparently a , person of good education. She has not lived with the family in the abandoned Coast Guard Station north of Kity Hawk that has been their Dare County home, although she has, it is said, made several I visits to her husband and children there. She and her husband have ' both vehemently insisted that God i gives parents the right to mould I the destines of their children as I they see fit, and that this right supercedes the merely human au thority of the state school laws. “Villains” Named Martin Kellogg, county solici tor, received a long telegram from Mrs. De Febio on Monday morn . ing. Mr. Kellogg, as county sotic : itor, represented the state in the I December hearing. The telegram ; accused him of prosecuting the : case for political reasons (reasons not fathomable to local observers) ■ and then dealt in good round terms with this newspaper for “distorting” a letter sent to us by Mrs. De Febio. (One letter from Mrs. De Febio was printed - in this newspaper, as written; f another was not printed at all. c Which was the one we are charg t ed with “distorting,” we are un , able to determine. Perhaps the next mail will enlighten us.)
