PAGE EIGHT MANY INQUIRIES ARE RECEIVED BY TOURIST BUREAU This will be the best vacation season in the history of Dare County, if the avalanche of in quiries now reaching Dare Coun ty Tourist Bureau is any indica tion, according to L. L. Swain, chairman of the organization which has as its objective the business of publicizing this coast al area. “We are receiving scores of let ters each month from persons who plan vacation trips, fishing expeditions, or historical sight seeing tours,” said Swain. “This year there has beq£ much cor respondence received from T>ers ons planning to visit the Cape Hatteras region, which is sched uled o have an all paved road from Nags Heod completed dur ing the summer.” All of the inquiries are not from vacationists, or persons planning to spend vacations here, according to Swain. “ As an example,” he pointed out, “a story about the wild cran berries on the Dare County mainland was widely circulated last year since that time numer ous inquiries have come in frim persons who want to know about the possibility of developing the wild cranberry into and industry, or to determine the advisability of blueberry culture in the rich soil of the mainland of the coun ty.” “The area has been receiving national publicity through news pictures, magazine articles and news stories released regularly, from the Tourist Bureau Head quarters in Manteo, and this, supplemented by the general state advertising program of North Carolina is, I am sure, the reason for so many inquiries.” As a result of the potential in creased vacation business many new hotel additions, hotels or motor courts are now being add ed to the housing facilities. It seems apparent, according to Swain, that at least 1,000 addi tional rooms will be added to the more than 3,000 available in the area last year for overnight and vacation guests, many of which are under construction in the Hatteras Island area.

The ex plosion of the five-gallon can caught her dress on fire and her entire body became a mass of j?urns. The heat melted the combs in her hair. She was brought immediately to the hospital and treated bv Dr. J. T. Wright. The effort of neighbors saved the burning home from destruction. She was the wife of Alfred Bailey, a log ging employee of David Brinn, and the couple lived at Route 1, Pinetown. She left three children ranging from seven months to four years of age. PRICES (Continued from Page One) month before he expected the last frost, he made his first planting. Two weeks later he planted more seed near the first ones. Then two weeks later he made a third plant ing. If frost got his first planting he had two more chances. He, of course, thinned out the plants he didn’t want. If you are bothered with wilt, be sure to plant a wilt resistant i strain or variety. Some good ones are Miles, Garrison, Hawkesbury, Cannon Ball and Leesburg. Use Manure Successful gardeners know that poultry and stable manure is an excellent garden fertilizer. They al so know that the use of manure year after year may make the soil too “rich” a soil for certain vege tables. This too “rich” a soil is caused by an excess of nitrogen in the manure in proportion to the phosphate and potash content. A balanced fertilizer for vege tables can be made from poultry manure by the addition of approxi mately 60 lbs. of super-phosphate and 10 lbs. of muriate of potash to 800 lbs. of manure. For stable manure the 10 lbs. of potash may be left out. The manure may be either broadcast and plowed into the soil, or it may be placed in rows on both sides of the seed row. In addition to the manure, approximately one third to one-half the regular a mount of commercial fertilizer should be applied and mixed with the soil underneath the seed. This commercial fertilizer is quick act ing and will nourish the plants while the manure is becoming available. Manure also makes an excellent fertilizer for most trees and shrubs. It may be worked into the soil or left on top to serve as a mulch. In no case should the man ure be used closer than two or three inches to the roots or stems of the plants unless it is thorough ly rotted. Insects We might as well get ready for certain insects— they come every year. Getting ready includes ask ing your Extension Agent for a bulletin on vegetable insect con trol by James T. Conner, Jr., En tomologist. This is an excellent bulletin. Among its recommenda tions are: Use cryolite and roten one for bean beetle control. Use the cryolite until the pods begin to form on snap beans then switch to rotenone. On lima beans, con tinue with cryolite throughout the season. Flea beetles usually attack tomato and other young plants when they are first set out. Cryo lite is the recommended control. Cryolite will also control the spot ted cucumber beetle and the pickle worm on cantaloupe and cucum bers. Other insects we can usually ex ' pect include cabbage worm, squash bug, aphids (also called plant lice) and harlequin cabbage bug (highly colored bug that eats collards and other greens). Sabadilla dust (20 per cent strength) is about the only thing that will kill the squash bug and the harlequin cabbage bug. Nicotine sulphate (Black Leaf 40) and rotenone are recommended for controlling aphids. Rotenone will control the cabbage worm and is perfectly safe to use since it is not poisonous. Three important things to re member in controlling insects are: 1. Start spraying or dusting in time; 2. Do a thorough job; 3. Be sure the material you are using is recommended to control the insect on which you are using it. ORNAMENTALS Pruning Shrubs There’s still time to do some thing about those overgrown shrubs around your house. One so lution is to send your wife away from home, get your saw and mur der ’em! I hate to see this done, but it’s about the only answer ex cept to remove them when they are completely out of bounds. Not much use trying this on junipers and arborvitaes. They are usually done for when you cut them be yond the green foliage. Probably the best answer is to remove those shrubs that are too large and replace them with small er growing plants. The following GULROCK SOON TO HAVE ELECTRICITY AND ROADS The People of Mount Pleasant In Hyde Receive Long Delayed Advantages. The charming community of Mount Pleasant in Hyde County, known now as Gulrock, because of its post office, is soon to enjoy the benefits from better roads and electricity. The road from Last Chance to Gulrock is now under construction. Recent rains are making it bad while the job is un derway but the citizens are com plaining but little for they know that better times are coming. Right of way for construction of a power line is reported scheduled in March. When this is done, Gul rock will be a happier place for its 25 familiees.

MANTEO COLORED SCHOOL MAKING MORE HEADWAY Faculty Pleased With Prog ress in All Directions at Roanoke Academy The Parent-Teacher Association of the Roanoke School is launching a drive for a movie projector. They would appreciate the cooperation of parents and friends in this move. The President, Mrs. Ernie Mc- Cleese together with the officers, have staged some very beneficial programs this school-year and plan for one or two more very soon. The “Queen for a Day” will be the next to be programmed on Saturday night, March 22, 1952,* at which time we hope many friends will participate. Lunch Room The Lunch Room, due to circum stances, has not done so well this year, but we manage to keep it going. We believe it to be of great value to the children uni very help ful to the parents. Mrs. Cora Gallop the Mana ger of the Cook Room, and the Principal, with the assistance of the faculty, looks after the buying. We are pleased to say that over two thousand lunches have been served. The Roanoke School has made wonderful progress during the four years that Prof. T. R. Lamb has been Principal. Mr. Lamb took hold of the Roanoke School at a time when the school was in a stir and teachers were unwilling to take hold of the situation, but Lamb said that if kindness and good will would bring the people together, he would try. His quiet disposition and careful maneuvering have caused much visible dissatisfaction to disappear. Mr. Lamb has done much to beau tify the ground by leveling and sowing seed, and has tried to teach the children that work is honor able. He was the first to institute a Graduation Exercise in the school with diplomas, rings, caps and gowns for the eighth and twelfth grades. Some have been graduates from the High School and many from the eighth grade. These have been able to take the college test and go on. Some are planning to enter next year. Mention is here made of some of the accomplishments under Prof. Lamb and his faculty. His first faculty was: Mrs. Madge Cuffee. Mrs. G. Hill and Mrs. L. T. Boone. Due to the attendance the next year, Mrs. Hill was not called back. Mrs. Cuffee taught two years and wanted to resign since she lived in Norfolk and could teach there. Mrs. Eva H. Bethea, who had taught a few years before, was called back on account of her efficient work. Among the many things accom plished are: Supplementary books added to the County Library thru Mrs. Howard. Books from the Superintendents have been donated and added to the Library; the play ground was at one time fairly well equipped; group participations have been sponsored by the facul ty; curtains costing over S4OO have been installed; a machine was purchased worth about $l5O, for" Domestic Science work; a mimeo graph worth nearly SIOO for school work; rooms have been painted to make things more homelike; two stoves were purchased for the Lunch Room and a huge ice box. These and many other things are and have been the efforts of the faculty and the Parent-Teacher Association. The Needs of the School The Roanoke School does not have a large number of students, but it has the same number of sub jects as any other High School. The Principal, T. R. Lamb, has the eighth grade thru the twelfth. This means that he must get in twenty subjects a day, which can only be done thru correlation and this is what he does. Mrs. L. T. Boone has the fourth thru seventh grades. Mrs. E. A. Bethea has the first thru the sev enth. By having another teacher, music and home economics could be taught occasionally and the eighth grade could he taken from the Principal. He would then have more time to devote to the High School work and supervision. Now that a new building is in progress and will be completed by midsummer, we hope that the con ditions under which we have bee” struggling will be greatly alleviat ed. We highly appreciate your coop eration in the future. The Faculty ed her father, Mr. Fisher and Mrs. Fisher Thursday. Miss Clara Fisher and nephew Max Fisher of Newport News, Va., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle Jones Saturday night. Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Cutrell of Norfolk spent the week end with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Cutrell and Mr. and Mrs. Roe Har ris. MEET (Continued from Page One) of Manteo, Warden; Mrs. Nellie Owens of Elizabeth City- Secre tary; Mrs. Margaret White of Manteo, Treasurer. The Interesting Story Os Haslin Territory An Address Before the Book Club in Belhaven by Mrs. Mrs. T. A. Jordan. Much of the territory from Pan tego to Leechville was deeded to two squires, Leech and Hassell, by the Lords Proprietors of England. It is not known how many years before the Civil War, however it is known that after James F. Latham settled in this section in 1849, he called it Haslin in honor of Mr. Hassell while incidentally Leech ville was so called in honor of Mr. Leech. Some of the earliest settlers were: Caleb Clark, John and Sam, they were extensive land owners; the D. C. W’ay’s came right after the war; the Wilkinson, (Win fields Whorry Gus Winfield’s fa ther) ; Major E. S. Marsh from the South Creek section, the father of Edd, Tom, Janie, and Cora; D. W. Jarvis, grandfather of Sissy, Bunch, Effie and Lucy Clair; John Q. Adams, who was father of Mrs. xi ewe y Tripp, was surveyor, preacher and postmaster. Mr. Hew ey Tripp was Dwight Tripp’s great uncle; Seth and Thomas Tyson; Latham and Tom Wilkinson; George L. Windley, who was one time clerk of the Court of Beau fort County. He was Elizabeth Knight’s grandfather. Mrs. Wind ley was Post Mistress for a period of time. George Riddick, who came 1 from Suffolk, Va., his children were Tom, Willis, Mrs. Jarvis and Lucy Pickles; Mr. Hope, who was post master and storekeeper. The store stood until a short while ago. Right after the war a Dr. Lo raine constructed a mill in this section. It operated for a while but its life with Dr. Loraine was short and went into bankruptcy shortly after being established. Mr. D, C. Way,- our own Mrs. Way’s father-in-l aw, purchased the mill and made an outstanding success of the project. It manu factured yellow pine and shipped it to Port Deposit, Md., by sea-going sailing vessels. Many years later Mr. Way sold his mill, boats, mill wood and lands to the Cooperage Company. This was the birth of the Cooperage Company of Bel haven, N. C. | Probably the earliest school was started by Miss Sallie Eborn, who was a private teacher. When'Fred Latham was a very small boy his father, Major Marsh and Tom Wilkinson, built a private school right at the end of Latham’s Lane. They hired a teacher for S3O per month with room and board. The teacher lived in the James F. La tham home. This academy of learn ing must have been wonderful, be cause this school comprised al most wholly Fred Latham’s school ing. Mr. Fred did attend Miss Eborn’s private school when six years of age and walked two miles there, two miles back each day on the rugged foot paths. He attend ed part of a term of school at Pan tego, also part of a term at Bethel in 1889. However, our state of North Carolina is proud to claim him as the champion corn pro ducer, having developed what is known as “Latham’s Double Seed Corn.” He worked with this pro ject 50 years beginning with 1902. It is known far and wide as a won derful variety. He has worked dili gently on yellow cross corn for 16 years, and his enthusiasm never wanes. The beautiful blushing blond and petite Eva Johnson became Mrs. Fred Latham, February 21, 1894, 58 years ago. She describes it as a raining, stormy night outside with plenty of warmth and happiness within the walls of home on Circle Grove Farm. They portray the best in the art of living. The Haslin section was one of the best sections in the county at this time. Neighbors were thickly settled and were of the best vari ety. Mail was delivered once ehch week in the early days. The con veyance \was known as a sulky. This traveled from Washington, N. C., to probably Engelhard or ■I G&W SEVEN SIAR [SO 90 proof I I UK $2.30 *** * * ■ 4/3 Quart.

Later there were two mails each week and the buggy was used as a con veyance. Then Haslin was known as the changing or breaking place. The carrier left Washington and spent the night in Haslin. A car rier would leave Hyde County and deliver such mail as he had along the routes. On reaching Haslin, the mail carriers spent the night. The Washington carrier- took the mail coming from Haslin on to Wash ington—giving the Hyde County carrier such mail as should be de livered between Haslin and Hyde. Daily Mail became prevalent even during horse and buggy days. About 1897 there was a place of worship known as Pungo Chapel. All the population enjoyed wor ship in this chapel. About this j-ime there was a “Kings Daughters Or ganization.” The charter members were Sis Jarvis, Mrs. Way, Miss Lilly Way, Mrs. Rob Way, Mrs. Mollie Latham, Mrs. Eva Latham, Mrs. James F. Latham, and per haps others, Mrs. Way thinks per haps the “Ecco,” a secret Literary society was the first in the East ern end of the County. Fred La tham and Miss Lilly Way were the , organizers. The charter members I were: Fred Latham, Lilly Way. Dave Blount, Ed Marsh, Sallie and 1 Mattie Wilkinson and their broth- 1 er, James, better known as “Jinks.” j At the first meeting Mr. Fred entertained with a literary Essay. Dave Blount was supposed to do the honors at the next meeting. He did not think himself very literary so Mrs. Way came to the rescue. She wrote this masterpiece in rhymer “You have called on me to lecture, but I beg to be excused ♦ and if you all will answer no, I positively refuse. I found no subject where upon my mind could be at ease I would not make the least attempt for fear of being teased. But promise that some other day, when I am better read: To do the very best I can, and go ahead of Fred! Mrs. Way had planned to have the next meeting for her brother Dave Blount but the death of Tom Wilkinson so grieved the members ‘hat they disbanded the society. She had written a parodv on ' “Never More, No Never More,” but it was never used. i On the 16th day of Feb., 1914, the country club was organized. On Feb. 19 they celebrate their 3«th birthday. They have never missed but two meetings. That happened during the flu epidemic during World War I. They have just two officers—a president and secretary—no dues, no bylaws, no constitution. Just have a wonderful time. They have pledged them selves never to be peeved with or •> I another no matter what the cir cumstances. I am sure they hare many other admirable qualities. There is a sign along the Has! i , highway that reads “Mrs. Way’s! Museum.” Mrs. Way has collected 1 all her life. She lives a'd displays her museum in an old fashioned farm house more than 130 years old.
