It Takes
A.ll Kinds
By DAVE WEST
We know about one-trip authori
ties on the Lower Banks. . . .
We’ve had the one trip now—but
hope to go back and learn some
thing about Hatteras Island; so
we’ll not set up as an information
expert just yet.
* * *
Our getting there and back we
owe to Stockton Midgett, the bus
driver. (Fact is, our jaw still hangs
slightly agape, so much did his ex
pert driving impress us.) He drove
without difficulty through spots on
that Inlet-Rodanthe road that
we’ll never be convinced ANY
BODY ever hocus-pocused a car
through before. (Yes, we’ve heard
that people go through every day
—and, yes, the bus runs every day.
. . . But just permit us our pre
rogative: we DON’T believe it.)
* » »
If we lived in any of the pleas
ant villages on the island, we’re
afraid we’d be selfish enough to
wish that that last link of hard
surfaced road should not be com
pleted. . . . Everything we like is
already there, but a lot of things
we don’t like might slide in if
there were easy access. . . . But,
since we don’t live there, we’d like
to be able to get there easily. . . .
What’s the Highway Commission
waitin’ for?
• * «
The road didn’t stump our bus
driver, but here’s a thing that did.
When we arrived on the north side
of the Inlet on the return trip, a
well-dressed, earnest-looking fel
low got out of a shiny new Buick
and came to the bus to speak to
the driver. “How’s the road on the
other side?” he asked. No reply.
“Driver, I say, how’s the Rodanthe
road this morning?” the tourist
insisted. •
“Good!” was the quick reply.
“Very good!” Then Midgett threw
the bus into gear and pulled away.
Everybody in the bus looked at
each other and laughed aloud.
Stockton drove silently for a
moment; then he turned to face
the passengers: “Well, how
WOULD you describe it? How can
you tell anybody how that road is ?
I don’t know HOW it is if it isn’t
good.”
* * *
Saw a man holding up the heavy
jowl of a Boxer dog the other day,
with a Coca-Cola bottle thrust in
the corner of his jaw. The Boxer
howled for more when the bottle
was drained, and he looked re
proachfully at his master when he
got in the car to drive out of the
S & M Station. . . . There’s a
testimonial for you: “Don’t be a
dumb dog smart dogs drink
Coca-Cola!”
• • •
On one of those broiling after
noons last week Edwin Midgett
held a thermometer against the
bricks of the building on the west
side of the Manteo ABC store. He
got a reading of 112 degrees—just
about what everybody we saw that
day was estimating the tempera
ture to be where each of them
stood.
♦ » •
Pressure’s been piling up. It’s
been three weeks since one of the
racier (shp’l we call it?) officers
of the Manteo Lions Club got
picked up for driving in excess of
the speed limit at Nags Head.
We’ve been accused of covering up
for this latter-day Barney Oldfield
by some of his publicity-conscious
fellow Lions. The fact is that he
submitted and paid his fine im
mediately; but the arresting of
ficer hadn’t filled out the necessary
forms to make the thing “legal”
in time for last week’s paper. We
can only hope the officer will take
the heat off us—by putting it on
the Manteo Flash.
* * *
If you’ve never seen the Balcony
Scene from Romeo and Juliet en
acted, it might be worth a little
of your time to take a view of the
reasonable facsimile thereof which
is enacted at least once every day
in downtown Manteo. We happened
to catch it when we glanced out
of a window at the courthouse one
afternoon. We saw Romeo, played
to the hilt by Hadacol Green, in
the space between Fearing’s Case
and the Bank, calling what we as
sume (though we could not hear)
were poetically phrased “sweet
nothings” to a Juliet who seemed
to be at the window of the Selective
Service Office. As he did not, ap
parently, get any response at first,
it is likely that he reversed
Shakespeare’s phrase, to call out,
“Wherefore art thou, Juliet?” . . .
Don’t try to tell us he was beaming
like that at Board Chairman Rob
ert Ballance!

Claude Wise, who returned from
the hospital last Thursday, beat
down the protests of his whole
family and went back to work in
his store the same day he came
home. After the first day he in
sisted on. continuing work as
though there was no reason at all
why he shouldn’t No doubt at all
about it, you CAN’T keep a good
