COLUMBIA NEWS
And Items From
TYRRELL COUNTY
Columbia, Oct. B.—The County
Commissioners of Tyrrell County
met at 2 p.m. Monday with full
schedule. The County A.B.C. Board
Chairman, J. A. Spencer, whose,
time had expired, was duly elected
to serve another three years. Jan
itors were hired for the premises
of the Court House at salaries of
$45.00 and $25.00 respectively.
Mrs. J. H. Sawyer of Gum Neck
appeared before the board asking
what could be done about the “Joe
Reek” road in Gum Neck, as one
of the land owners on said road
had refused to sign a petition to
give the right of way for the
Highway Commission. The Coun
ty Commissioners had ■ previously
petitioned the Highway Commis
sion for the acceptance of said
road, and the Highway Commis
sion had accepted it on condition
that the right of way be given.
Mr. Davenport, Chmn. of the Board
advised her to have the local high
way resident, D. M. Bridgeman,
to- stake off the road showing the
land owner who has refused to
sign just where the road would go,
and how much extra land would
be consumed by it. It was brought
out that maybe then he would re
consider. Should he then refuse
to sign, it would be necessary for
the county to, pay condemnation
proceedings if the road is to be
built.
The Commissioners, then, went
to the Tyrrell County Public Li
brary, at a short meeting with the
Library board in regards to shoe
ing them the lack of housing fa
cilities for same. In this instance,
lem. A. Cohoon, a newly elected
County Commissioner to take of
fice in December, accompanied
them. They were sympathetic with <
the situation, and Mr. Davenport,
Chmn., informed the Library i
Board that in order to build a new
building, a bond issue vzas nec
essary, and that would have to be
voted on by the people. The' Li
brary Board asked since the court :
house was in such dire need of :
additional office space, couldn’t it
be possible to incorporate the Li- '
barry Building and the additional -
office space in a wing facing Main
Street added to the Court House,
and how to go about it to get pub- ■
lie acceptance of same, so that
a vote could be carried.

DARE BOARD ABANDONS
FURTHER DeFEBIO SUITS
Dare Commissioners Tuesday De
cide to Quit Wasting*Money
on Non-Attendance Case
The case of the much publicized
DeFebio family, with which the
Dare County Welfare Department
has been embroiled for nea’ly two
years, and whose children are now
being cared for in a boarding
home at public expense, may soon
fade out. The Dare County Com
missioners Tuesday in a motion
by Lawrence Swain and seconded
by James Scarborough, declared
the further prosecution of the case
is a waste of money which can
serve no useful purpose, and there
fore has no justification. However,
a great deal 'of money has been
unnecessarily spent.
Meanwhile, Mrs. DeFebio is su
ing in the court for allege ! sland
er and libel.
She has sused Sheriff Melvin
Owens of Perquimans County, the
Daily Advance of Elizabeth City,
and the Ccastland Times for SIOO,-
000 each, and she has sue i C S.
Meekins, Clerk of Dare County
Court, and Mrs. Goldie Meekins,
Dare Welfare Officer, for $50,000
each.
The children are now being car
ed for in a boarding home in Per
quimans County.
Other Board Actions
The Dare Commissioners also
Tuesday asked the State to con
tinue its summer ferry schedule
over Oregon Inlet. It asked for
road work near the Avon school.
It also directed that action be
brought against J. M. Jones of
Edenton charging obstructing a
public street area at Nags Head,
and it set Tuesday, October 16, as
the date to meet and receive the
settlement of Sheriff Frank Ca
hoon for the 1951 tax roll.
MASHOES CREEK LOSES
ITS MAJESTIC PINES
Mashoes Creek, the charming
community in Dare County, facing
Albemarle Sound, has lost another
of its charms. The majestic pines
which made it so attractive have
been sold and cut and hauled away
to the mills. Mashoes once had a
large population, and during the
fishing season supported two
stores, a church, a school. But all
these are long since gone, along
with several substantial citizens,
who were its prop and mainstay.
Today only five households re
main on Mashoes, and these are
small ones. The population in all
numbers only, about a dozen peo
ple. A few years ago a good dirt
road was built five miles from
Manns Harbor to serve the people,
but by the time the road was built,
a large part of the community had
gone by the board.
But Mashoes still has one great
asset that will aid in its revival
and increase in value. It is one of
the finest fresh water fishing pla
ces in the state. Each season many
people come for both black bass
and striped bass, and other game
fish which abound in its waters.
Nearby is hunting for deer and
bear, as well as smaller game. Its
once fertile fields may grow up,
its people move away, but pros
pects are that the new order will
make it all the more attractive to
the seeker of wildlife rewards.
PARKS DIRECTOR
COMPLETES TRIP
ON OUTER BANKS
Expresses Appreciation for
Reception Given in Visits
To All Villages
“We will continue to give the
people of the Outer Banks step by
step information of the Seashore
Park plans,” said Conrad Wirth,
Director of the National Park
Service yesterday in Manteo, on
nis return from a three day trip
on Hatteras and Ocracoke Island.
' “We have nothing to conceal,
and we are making every effort
that no one can be able to say they
are not informed about the proj
ect,” he said. “We found that the
fears of the people and the oppo
sition expressed heretofore nad
largely been the outgrowtn of
misinformation spread by a few
who oppose the park,” he contin
ued.
“Many people later told us they
were sorry they had had any part
in the opposition they had ex
pressed. Some said they had only
gone along with neighbors to be
agreeable, and others said they
had been misinformed.”
Mr. Wirth said with few excep
tions, the people were friendly
and the meetings were pleasant
and he felt grateful for the many
kindnesses that were shown the
party on the trip. He regretted
the visit had not been made long
before. “Had this been done,” be
said, “maybe a lot of misunder
standing would have been avoid
ed.” This was the first opportunity
he had had to get to Hatteras he
said, due to completing engage
ments in other parts of the United
States. “However,” he agreed,
“that those who have personal
reasons for fighting the seashore
park, may continue to spread oth
er rumors which may be untrue.”
Meetings were held at Ocracoke,
Rodanthe, and Avon, and visits
were made to all the stores and
with various citizens in the area.
A more detailed account is pub
lished elsewhere, and which in
general covers most of the perti
nent questions to come up. Mr.
Wirth returned to Washington
Thursday afternoon by plart from
Norfolk.

A gasoline explosion aboard the
shrimp boat Carrie, operated by
Willie Etheridge, Jr., 32, and
Charles Scarborough of Wanchese
Monday at noon resulted in ser

MANY FISHERMEN
BUT FEW FISH IN
FISHING TOURNEY
Weather Was Fine, and It
Was Quite An Event, But
Fish Didn't Show Up
By AYCOCK BROWN
Surf fishermen from more than
a dozen state were at Nags Head
to match their skill against teams,
individuals and a variety of fishes
during the open surf fishing
tournament ending Sunday, Oc
tober 5. While fishing conditions
were very favorable from a wea
ther standpoint, the surf was ap
parently fishless in many of the
sloughs fished between Kitty
Hawk and Oregon Inlet during
the open competition on Sunday.
Results had been a bit better on
Friday and Saturday and while
no large channel bass the size of
those being landed from Jen

the teams brought in a total of
114 fish of several varieties in
cluding small channel bass (pup
py drum), kingfish (sea mullet),
croaker, weakfish (trout), flound
er and bluefish.
Winning Teams
Winning teams received their

ing the prizes members of the

The Dover Fishing Club of
Philadelphia, captained by Russ
Walls, won first place in team
