Practical Joke Goes Haywire;
Mr. Fearing, Mr. Green On Outs
Joke That Didn’t Go Off As Scheduled Resulted In
Sheriff Being Called To The Scene
By Roger Meekins
It is whispered around these
days that Edward Green and
Keith Fearing, Jr., are not on the
very best of speaking terms.
Now Mr. Green and Mr. Fearing
have been, all their lives, the
very best of friends. And, as a
matter of fact, they each own a
cottage next to each other on
Nags Head beach on thq Oregon
Inlet road. But because of a little
practical joke that went haywire,
they are temporarily out of plea
sant contact. It happened some
thing like this.
While Mr. and Mrs. Green
(Annie) were dining with Mr.
Green’s mother last Saturday
night, Keith crawled through a
window in Edward’s cottage and
moved a rug and a couple pieces
of furniture from the front into
the back room. It was intended
that the Greens would find the
furniture misplaced and be puz
zled as to how it jfot that way.
But that ain’t the way it hap
pened.
Presently the Greens came to
their cottage, opened the door,
and discovered that some fur
niture was missing, as planned.
But, just before they approached
the cottage, they remembered
seeing a car pull out of their
driveway. (Actually, it was from
the driveway of the cottage next
door). The car had turned and
gone toward Oregon Inlet, a bot
tleneck from which it couldn’t
escape. So. Mr. Green set up a
roadblock and called the sheriff
and deputy, Frank Cahoon and
Dan Cannady.
Mr. and Mrs. Green hadn’t
gone iftto the back room as yet
In the meantime, Mr. Fearing
had told his father, Keith Fear
ing, Sr., what had happened, and
Mr. Fearing, Sr., in turn told the
story to Monde Daniels, Jr., who

Interesting Transfer of
Shooting Club at Hatter
as Opens Fishing Beach
Buxton-on-Cape Hatteras, May 6.
—Before the sun had set upon the
three-way switch of ownership that
transformed the last fishing club on
the Outer Banks into a Lifeboat
Station of the U. S. Coast Guard
and the 1250 acres of its land into
a public fishing ground under the
auspices of the National Park
Service the Coast Guard was call
ed upon to lend a hand in saving
three unwary recreationists from
drowning. One era was ending and
another just continuing.
Ending was the era of plush club
houses which once dotted the Out
er Banks from Currituck to Ocra
coke that in its heydey saw fifty
such clubs grow and disintegrate
until only the Gooseville Club over
looking Hatteras Inlet remained.
Title to the lands and keys to the
luxurious building were turned ov
er to the National Park Service
and the lands, restricted to the use
of club members for the past 25
years, became public domain.
Continuing is the era of Coast
Guard to the rescue. Within two
hours after the keys were turned
over to the Park Service they were
handed to CWO H. J. Glynn, Cape
Hatteras Group commander who
dispatched members of his crew to
take custodial charge of the prop
erty until the legal formalities can
be complied with to the last letter
and work begin on conversion of
the club house that will become the
home of Hatteras Inlet station, al
ready virtually abandoned because
of the inroads of the sea.
Almost at once guests of hotels
and tourist courts on this Island,
aware of the fact that fishing re
strictions had been lifted from the
area stretching from Hatteras vil
lage to the Inlet three miles south
west and before the sun was set
the call came: could the Coast
Guard come and do something
about three people who were in a
pretty bad fix. The Coast Guard
went and nobody drowned.
Gooseville and its lands have
been owned by G. Albert Lyon, De
troit millionaire manufacturer,
since 1927, or since the late Rex
Beach, in his day one of the more
prosperous writers and sportsmen,
induced him to buy it from Andrew
S. Austin. i
The National Park Service paid
him $47,000 for it.
A large part of this property
once was vacant land, owned by
the state of North Carolina, and
See PROPERTY, Page Eight
also owns a cottage on the same
road. So. Mr. Daniels, thinking
that something serious might
happen, stopped Frank Cahoon
on the way down the road and
told him what had happened.
The Greens still had not ven
tured into the back room of their
cottage. But the car which had
gone toward Oregon Inlet now
came back and was forced to stop
at the roadblock.
Mr. Green came beside the dri
ver and began to question him.
Mrs. Green climbed into the car
and helped with the interroga
tion. Some accusations were
made.
Mr. Cannady, who had not
been informed of the true situa
tion, arrived on the scene and
began an investigation.
Sheriff Cahoon arrived, looked
into the ihatter, and discovered
the missing furniture in the back
room.
It is said that Mr. Green was
rather embarrassed to have to
make apologies to the stranger,
and because of this Mr. Green
and Mr. Fearing are on the
“outs.” But as usually happens
in the case of a practical joke,
time will mend the situation.

GARAGE BUMPER
FOUND GUILTY
RECKLESS DRIVING
The Midway Garage between
Manteo and Wanchese on Roan
oke Island has been run into for
the third time.
David O. Latham, Negro, who
knocked down the stop sign at
Midway Garage and plowed
through a cinderblock wall, was
found guilty of reckless driving
in Dare County Recorder’s Court
Tuesday afternoon.
Latham, who was driving a
1951 Oldsmobile, said he lost con
trol of the car before he came up
on the stop sign and could do
nothing but let it go straight
ahead. However, attorney Martin
Kellogg pointed out that if the
car had gone straigh ahead it
would have gone straight into
the garage across the road. As it
was, the car went on the north
side of the garage, knocking off
the corner of the ladies rest
room and foing through a wall
adjacent to the station.
The s}op sign which the car
struck was thrown on the south
side of the station across the
road.
George Hale Quidley, owner
of the station, testified that Lat
ham had already made arrange
ments to pay for the damage,
which was estimated ot $125, and
that he had already been paid
sls on account.
Judge Baum ordered that the
remainder of the restitution be
carried out. The judgement was
60 days, suspended.
Other cases on the docket
Tuesday were:
Davis Payne, drunk on the
streets of Manteo, sls and costs.
Sam Rogers, indecent exposure
on the highway, sls and costs.
Arthur Johnson, improper
brakes, $5 and costs.

1954 BIG FISH CONTEST
FOR WAVES-RODANTHE AREA
Waves. Anglers fishing the
shipwreck-strewn Outer Banks
beach between Rodanthe, Waves
and Salvo during 1954 will have
an opportunity to enter their big
fish in the second annual cash prize
contest, it was announced here to
day by Asa H. Gray, a local mer
chant and member of Dare Coun
ty Tourist Bureau’s board of di
rectors.
The fishing contest sponsored
last year by Donald C. Todd of
Pittsburgh, Pa., and a summer res
ident of Waves offered cash prizes
of SSO for the largest fish and it
was a 40-pound channel bass land
ed by a Colerain angler that won
the money.
This year cash prizes of SIOO
will be offei-ed and sponsors of the
1954 contest will again be Todd of
Pittsburgh and R. D. Owens, own
er of the new Chicaroicomico Motor
Court and Grill which has just
opened for the season between
Waves and Rodanthe. The prizes
will be SSO cash for largest fish,
.nd S3O and S2O for the two run
nerups. The fish must be a game
species, and will likely be a chan
nel bass as these are the largest
species taken by surf casters in the
area. The prizes will be awarded
on New Year’s Day, 1955, said
Gray.

BUT THEY WOULDN’T BITE
Hatteras. Trolling with Capt.
Edgar Styron aboard the Twins on
Sunday, Mrs. Florence Young of
Point Pleasant, N. J., finally hook
ed and landed a 30-pound channel
bass while drift-casting in Hat
teras Inlet.
“The water was clear and we
actually drifted through acres of
the big fish, but they wouldn’t take
bait or lures,” said Mrs. Young.
This is a situation anglers often
discover shortly after the big
schools of channel bass appear in
the waters of Hatteras and Ore
gon Inlets each year. Some of the
guides believe the reason the big
fish do not take lures is because
they are in the throes of spawn
ing activities—and are just not
hungry for bait or lures.
Scotty Gibson, manager and
owner of Atlantic View Hotel here
stated today that weather condi
tions had been unfavorable for
Gulf Stream fishing during the
past week, although several spe
cies, including dolphin, amberjack,
tuna and albacore had been landed
during late April and early May.

“The Wright Brothers celebra

Thompson Greenwood at the

the Carolinian Hotel Wednesday
afternoon. “Thanksgiving has

People already know when the

Mr. Greenwood’s topic was
“Coordinated selling in the tou

not end the season on October

“Right here on the Dare coast
