VOLUME XVII NO. 41 DARE’S FAME IS TOLD IN CHICAGO BY C. CRITTENDEN State’s History Director Ac cepts Fessenden Award Chicago.— The election to ra dio’s “Hall of Fame” of Reginald A Fessenden, inventor and pioneer in wireless telegraphy, was an nounced Tuesday at the annual dinner of the Radio Pioneers Club at the Conrad-Hilton Hotel. The award honoring Fessenden, whose experiments on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, took place just fifty years ago, was made by Carl Haver'lin, president of Broadcast Music, Inc. It was accepted on be half of the Fessenden National Memorial Association by Dr. Chris topher Crittenden, director of the North Carolina Department of Ar chives and History. In accepting the award, Dr. Crit tenden pointed out the pioneer role which Dare Gounty, North Caro lina, has played in history. Within the present limits of that county were located the first English col onies in the New World, sent over by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 1580’s. There in 1903 the Wright brothers made the world’s first airplane flight. And there Fessen den conducted his noted experi ments. Fessenden was born October 6, a 1866. in East Bolton, Quebec, Can- c ada. In 1900 he resigned as proses- s sor of electrical engineering at the i University of Pittsburgh to under- a take research in wireless tele- a graphy under the United States I Weather Bureau. With headquar- i ters near Manteo, North Carolina, he conducted experiments in 1901- t 02 which established wireless com- < munication between Roanoke Is- t land and Cape Hatteras, the great- j est distance then spanned by the < new telegraphy. 1 In 1906 Fessenden produced the ’ first transatlantic radio communi- ! cation by sending a message from * Brant Rock, Massachusetts, to ‘ Machrihanish, Scotland. That same year he sent out from Brant Rock 1 what is said to have been the first ! broadcast of speech and music ‘ ever made. < The Radio Pioneers Club, or- I ganized in 1942, is composed of . veterans of more than twenty , years in the industry. Herbert Hoover is honorary chairman and . Mr. Haverlin the retiring presi dent. In 1950 the club established ! the “Hall of Fame” to honor de ceased persons who have “made ‘ great contributions to the cause of ’ radio and broadcasting.” Previous recipients of the honor have been , Thomas A. Edison and Guglielmo Marconi. In 1944 the manuscripts of Fes- ! senden relating to his inventions 1 and patents were presented to the ! Association and placed in the ] North Carolina Department of Ai chives and History by the inven tor’s son, Reginald K. Fessenden. ' These valuable archives pertain- ' ing -to the early days of radio fill 56 cubic feet in 24 filing drawers ! and 4 wooden boxes. Although Fessenden received i several hundred radio patents, his experiments were not confined to ! that field. Among other inventions generally credited to him are the radio compass, the fathometer or sonic depth finder and several sub- ' marine -ignaling devices, the ' smoke-cloud for tanks, and the j turbo-electric drive for battle ships. In defense of his patent 1 rights he was often involved in ' complicated and time consuming law suits during the latter years of his life. The Fessenden National Memor- ' ial Association was established in ( August, 1941, at Washington, D, C., with R. Bruce Etheridge, Presi dent, Miles Clark, Roy Davis and Mrs. Roxie Atkinson, Vice Presi dents. Victor Meekins, Secretary, and Martin Kellog. Jr., Treasurer. All except Mr. Clark, a resident of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, are citizens of Dare County. A mong the other charter members are Dr. Crittenden and Mrs. Agnes L. Starrett of the University of Pittsburgh. The Association’s plan to erect a monument to Fessenden on the site of his wireless station on Roanoke Island was delayed by the outbreak of World War 11. Shortly before his death in 1946 Colonel Fessenden established a trust fund to aid the memorial to his father. At a meeting in Manteo on March 23, 1952, plans were made to revive the project during the fiftieth anniversary year of the successful experiments at Roanoke Island. CANCER CLINIC TODAY The Cancer Clinic in Elizabeth City, which is held each month on the first Friday, will be held today, I Friday, April 4th, at the Health I Department office. 1 THE COASTLAND TIMES PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE WALTER RALEIGH COASTLAND OF NORTH CAROLINA KNOW YOUR SCHOOLS By MABEL EVANS JONES A teacher talking with enthusi asm about accomplishments in her school this year, said, ‘T think the folks interested in children and their development would appreci ate knowing these good things done but I personally hesitate as one of the teachers to have the facts published.” • Her comments prompted some visits and inquiries, the results of which will be told as the visits to the various schools of the county come about, taking Manteo and the ; Roanoke Schools first, then Wan chese and Manns Harbor, followed by Kitty Hawk and the South Banks Schools. Recently Manteo High School’s dramatic talent presented a play at the Greenville Play Festival, Eastern Carolina College. Four high schools, of which Manteo had the smallest enrollment, entered . the festival along with college dramatic clubs, private schools of ' speech and church groups. Among the plays produced and evaluated ' on a non-competitive basis, the Manteo production stood with the ( highest. During the coming school ' weeks both the junior and senior classes are to present a play. The school believes that with the wide field open to youth in radio, tele vision, movies, the theater, and wide use of cultivated speech, the play production training has a bas is of deep importance. The Masses from grade eight through high school have had creative writing as a feature in their English work. The eighth grade will soon present for par ents and friends a group of plays they have written. From the jun ior and senior classes articles and stories sent to The English Teach er’s Journal have been highly evaluated. The typing class of the school has kept an enrollment of thirty since its beginning and has been developed through the efforts of the teachers and a fine spirited mother, Mrs. Cranberry Dowdy. This might be the beginning of a hoped-fqr accredited course in business education. A stimulating senior trip to N. C. universities and colleges was a part of the high school’s efforts for the last week end. The suc cesses of the'’basketball teams of the school, and especially that of the girls’ team, is almost an old story now, but a pleasing one to look back on. For informational teaching in all the grades the school now owns and uses a classroom projector for educational filmstrips, also a mov ing picture projector with sound track for educational pictures. On the school grounds is being constructed a primary school to be equipped for the most approved teaching of the times. Visions of a better looking athletic field and better general appearance of the school plant are widely expressed. Likewise the contributions of a good P. T. A. and a succeessful lunchroom, to the welfare of school was granted genuine appreciation. At the Roanoke School for the colored children a new building is rapidly going up. It will provide in a modern way for classrooms, lunchroom and a general purpose room that could be converted into a classroom to meet any growing needs. The old school has been moved to an adjoining lot and when no longer needed for class room teaching will be remodeled for an auditorium and community center. The community’s interest and appreciation is marked. POPLAR BRANCH MERCHANT WAS NATIVE OF NAGS HEAD John Willis Tillett, 65, died Wed nesday morning at his home at Poplar Branch at 5:10 o’clock af ter a short illness. He was a be loved citizen and well-known throughout Northeastern North Carolina. He was'a native of Nags Head but had been 1 iving at Poplar Branch for the past 41 years. He was the son of the late Easter Hol ly and John W. Tillett, husband of Mrs. Kathryn Kent Tillett: a member of the Ebenezer Methodist Church at Aydlett; a member of the Coinjock Masonic Lodge No. 463 A.F. & A.M. and a well known merchant. Besides his wife, he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. S. L. Dennis of Brigantine, N. J.; one son, Paul V. Tillett of Boston, Mass.; one sister, Mrs. R. S. Chapman of Smithfield, Va.; two half-brothers, Will Twiford of Norfolk, Va., and Lewis Twiford of Coinjock; two grandchildren, and one great grandchild. SMITH CHARGES TAX LOAD IS TOO HEAVY FOR US North Carolina Gets Back Only One Dollar in Ten Washington. Senator Willis Smi|h (D-NC) charged this week that the federal government “can not begin to justify the tax load thrust upon the American people” and warned that “unless there is an immediate return to the princi ples of self-sacrifice and self-re liance, the lights of liberty will flicker into darkness.” The Senator said, however, that certain members of Congress share with the administration the respon sibility. Smith invited attenti6n to gov ernment expenditures during the past ten years, which, he said, “show that the administration has spent far more in pursuit of its give-away policy abroad and its socialistic schemes at home than was spent winning World War II.” North Carolinians, Smith said,« paid $1,257,159,936 in taxes to the federal government in 1951. He said that for every dollar North Carolina received from the federal government in grants-in-aid and otherwise, the citizens of the state paid to the government about ten dollars. Senator Smith said that one third of the individual income in North Carolina went to the federal goevrnment in taxes. And, he said, that does not include “hidden taxes.” He said that since lf4l, the total individual incomes in North Caro lina had little more than doubled. But the tax load upon North Caro lina citizens last year was four times as great as in 1941. The Senator cited these figures: In 1941, the total individual .in come in North Carolina was rough ly a billion and a half dollars. Last year it was about three and a half billion. In 1941, the federal tax collections in North Carolina to talled less than 394 millions of dollars. Last year, federal taxes collected in North Carolina totalled more than a billion and a quarter dollars. Our national expenditures, Sen ator Smith said, are 50 per cent higher today than in 1944, the most costly year of the' war. And ( taxes have increased in almost ex-, actly the same proportion, he said. “The complacent road to cen tralized and socialized govern ment,” Smith said, “leads only to the complete loss of personal liber ty.” Smith conceded that “certain members” of Congress were “par ties to the crimes of waste and ex travagance.” He suggested that every citizen should familiarize himself with the voting records of his Senators and Representatives. MRS. ADA MANN DOXEY Mrs. Ada Mann Doxey, wife of Henry G. Doxey and daughter of Augustus O. and Laura Ann Mid gett Mann, died at the residence, 301 Avon Road, Norfolk, Monday.

C., FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1952 BONNER OUTLINES SENSIBLE PLAN TO HELP NATION First District Congressman Presents Masterful Brief in Armed Services Statement The statement of onsressman Herb ert C. Bonner of North Carolina. Chair man of the Subcommittee on Inter governmental Relations of the Expendi tures Committee of the House of Repre sentatives, based on 152 hours of hear ings and 50-odd hours of personal in spection within the United States and around the world where our military forces are established. Mr. Bonner was accompanied in his appearance before the Armed, Services Subcommittee on Appropriations of the Appropriations Committee of the House. Mr. Chairman: This is not the report of our Subcommittee, but it is my person al statement to your committee based on the above hearings. Our Subcommittee of the Expenditures Committee is pleased to be invited to appear here today. There is every need today for closest co operation among the committees of Congress. We have been studying the prob lems of military supply manage ment in the zone of the interior as well as overseas. We fully believe that savings of billions of dollars can be made if federal manage ment practices are brought to handling of military supply. We may as well face it; the so called unification act has misfired. Now we have three independent competing departments where be fore we had two. You are interested in how much of a cut can be made in the pres ent military budget. You are also interested in where these cuts can take place. I should like to say that based on my observations to date I can support a 10 per cent cut across the board. I believe this cut can be made without even drawing blood. I say this with full knowledge that any cut is a de cision of policy affecting the strik ing force of the military estab lishment. I believe such a cut in stead of rendering the military less effective will actually result in im provement of our national defense efforts. ’ In every appearance of the Sec retary of Defense before our Sub committee upon cross-examination he insisted that he had sufficient 'authority under the law to “elimi nate duplication and over-lapping” as contemplated under the Nation al Security Act of 1947. Since he needs no further legislative assis- 1 tance we can only conclude that the administration of the Department of Defense whatever its quality is his responsibility. Therefore, it appears at this time that the best method would bo to slash the budget 10 per cent and put the responsibility squarely . on him to carry out the intent of I the law. If he reads the newspapers , and if he studies his reports, he | will have plenty of material for 1 knocking heads together. The Secretary can carry out this administration based on such a budget if he insists on uniformity of forhis, procedures, and policies. He must assign priority of import ance to projects and commodities. The era of coin-flipping must end. I know you gentlemen are in terested probably in specifics where the Secretary might show a little energy. I shall try to give you a few. In stating them I should like to tell the Committee that in our recent overseas study we ex plained our mission to General Eisenhower and asked his com ments based on his field exper ience. He wholeheartedly support ed our views in supply and gave us freedom to quote him as saying “unification can work if a Secre tary of Defense has guts.” With regard to the specifics, we are con vinced that the planning and im-' piementation of a separate Air Force supply system for common use items is an unconsscionable burden on the taxpayers at this time. The vast construction pro gram they contemplate for such a supply system, which is needless, is under way, whether the Secre tary of Defense knows it or not. The Army is giving adequate sup port to the Air Force in these times. However, to cite an instance, in Alaska where adequate Army storage is available the Air Force is taking steps to build a new I warehouse—a small item of SBOO,- |OOO. In Okinawa the Air Force is i planning a large depot expansion program, where adequate Army warehousing exists. In Okinawa, also, we saw personnel ho”si"o’- costing $22,000 per unit being erected along side buildings of a local corporation of superior de sign costing 50 per cent less. During the last war the Army Service Forces centralized the ef forts of the Army Tech Services. This resulted in better require ments determinations, coordinated i See BONNER, Page 5 BONNER’S VIEWS AIRED HERBERT C.

SEEKING WATER SUPPLY FOR THE DARE BEACHES For the past three weeks the Linberg Engineers, working with the Lane Atlantic Well-Drillers, engineers and the State Board of Health, have been drilling wells and making such other investiga tions as necessary to determine the amound and kind of water J available adjacent to the fresh water lake for a public water sup- j ply for the Dare Beaches Sanitary ■ District that was formed some 1 time ago by the State Board of Health. ■ After results of tests and drill- . ings have been analysed by engin- 1 eers together with state engineers, supplementary reports will be ‘ made to the sanitary district board, \ including recommendations as to , the source of water supply for both domestic and firefighting pur- ’ poses. < It has long been realized that for the fast growth of the Kitty , Hawk, Nags Head and Kill Devil ( Hills community, the present , system of sewage disposal on sand lot was not in keeping with good | public health. ( After it is determined by the . Sanitary District as to what ex- , tent improvements will be made, J said information will be submitted to voters living within the sanitary district, to see if the improve- I mtnts are to be made. A. C. Linberg, the Burlington engineer who has been engaged 1 on the project, offers the follow ing encouragement statement Engineers’ advice according to tests made has been that the water supply is ample. In selecting well site, have selected west side of j fresh pond, because for a long time ; it will be protected from building j by the pond on one side and high j dunes on the other, thus lessening i the danger of pollution. Also, as i long as there is water in the pond, there will be plenty of water in , the wells.
