VOLUME XX NO. 34
SLOW RESPONSE TO
TICKET APPEAL FOR
. THE LOST COLONY
Only Three Memberships Bought
Up to Now By People of Dare
County; Many Advan- *»
tages Offered
On January 16 a total of 891
families in Dare County • were
mailed invitations £o join Roanoke
Island Historical Association.
With an average of four persons
to each family, that made the re
tention membership for the area,
which has through the years en
joyed its most widespread publi
city as result of The Lost Colony,
to 3,564 persons, according to
General Manager R. E. Jordan.
“During the first .month of the
campaign, which this year on a
trial basic, is making season mem
bership tickets available at $2.50
each ,we have actually received
from Dare residents, only 47 mem
bers,” said Jordan.
Jordan pointed out that in pre
vious years Association member
ships carried privileges for one
reserved seat at any performance
duing the season. This year, how
ever, any person who joins the
association receives a non-trans
ferable ticket good for any or all
performances during the season
beginning on July 1 and continu
ing through September 4.
Os 372 family invitations mail
ed out to residents of Manteo, 32
persons have joined the associa
tion. Three memberships have
been received from Wanehese
where 142 invitations were mail
ed; five from Kill Devil Hills
where 46 invitations were sent;
six persons out of 59 families re
ceiving invitations to join at Nags
Head have responded and one out
of 48 in Manns Harbor. To date,
no memberships have been re
ceived from Kitty Hawk, East
Lake, Mashoes, Stumpy Point, Ro
danthe, Salvo, Waves, Avon, Bux
ton, Frisco or Hatteras, Jordan
stated.
“Our purpose in providing the
type of memberships this year
was three-fold,” said Jordan. “We
wanted to offer a nominal priced
season ticket as an experiment,
we wished to accumulate funds to
aid in opening the show for its
15th season and we were anxious
to determine just how important
Dare residents consider The Lost
Colony, which has for many years
played a major role in the econo
my of the county.”
The .management of The Roan
oke Island Historical Association
urges all potential members to
send in their membership check
before the drive closes in May Ist,
1955. No seasonal memberships
can be accepted after the May Ist
date. Jordan also stated that
memberships can be obtained at
The Lost Colony Managers office
in the Community building in
Manteo on payment of the $2.50
per person membership fee.

MARJIUANA CHARGE
AGAINST BELHAVEN
NEGRO BOOTLEGGER
Ex-Convict Murderer Picked Up
Monday by State Officers For
Peddling Home Grown Dope
The filthy, festering roadside
eyesore of a trailer shack home ->f
a shiftless, useless nigger, ex
eon viet who did time for murder,
and who with his wife have for
five or more years plied the boot
legging trade with impunity a
mile or two out side the town of
Belhaven on U. S. 264 has brought
to the community mighty un
desirable publicity this week.
Henry (Slim) Reddick, 55 is in
jail in Washington after a raid
in which officers found several
thousand dollars in marijuana
weed on the premises, along with
a quantity of .moonshine whiskey.
Reddick’s arrest was the result
of efforts of Chief of Police
Wheeler of Washington and three
SBI agents. He was arrested in
Washington along with a partner,
Uriah (Hun) Hill, when they laid
a trap for him, in which he was
planning to sell a quantity of the
weed for S6OO.
Then the officers went to Bel
haven and got the assistance of
Deputy Sheriff, Floyd Lupton.
Because of the raid on the prem
ises the filthy wife of nigger
Reddick displayed unparalled ig
norance, impudence and insolence
by berating young Sheriff Lupton
with the remark, “you ought to
be ashamed of yourself, as much
money as my old man’s paid you.”
Nobody would believe a charge
like that from a white person
even, about Floyd Lupton who is
a high class, clean-handed and
clean-minded conscientious offi
cer.
Look at a picture of this estab
lishment which has remained
along this road for many years
with no more than token molesta
tion by the law. It is common
knowledge in Belhaven Reddick’s
place is a bootlegging joint. It is
patronized liberally by citizens of
the community, who readily find
cheap store whiskey here at off
hours, either by going for it, or
sending a taxicab to bring it. For
this whiskey, Reddick, or his wife
got a premium of $1 to $2 a pint.
Here a murderer who had done
years in prison, too lazy to work
and too cowardly to steal carried
on his business, selling to any and
all, young boys as well as grown
ups. His old trailer, and surround
ing shacks are of rusty .metal, old
roofing papers, old rotting boards.
In one end of the yard is a crude
homemade backhouse, open to the
weather, the flies and the birds.
Between it and the house is a fair
sized collard patch, today with
stark and wilted stalks, trimmed
almost clean of sprouts withered

Rev. George R. Will
Sermon For Our Read<
Editor's Note: It will be recalled that
last month. Rev. George R. Willis died in
Manteo, after preaching along the Atlantic
Coast for more than 50 years, principally to
men in the Coast Guard stations. Eight years
ago, he wrote the following sermon espec
ially for our readers.
I JOHN 3-9
Whosoever is horn of God doth
not commit sin;, for his seed re
maineth in him;.and he cannot sin
because he is born of God.
I want you to notice just one
word in this scripture and that
word is seed. This word seed is
the grain of a plant. There are
various kinds of seed in the natur
al kingdom but what we want to
talk about is the seed in the spir
itual kingdom. In all my work
from coast to coast bordering the
United States and covering the
great lakes and abroad the various
Government units, I have not fail
ed to try to imbue in the mind of
my hearers the thought of being
born again, and until we are born
again we will never know what
this seed is and what it means to
us. So you need not wonder why
so many are being fooled and are
going away from the church. Com- -
mon knowledge that we get from
school does not help us to know,
neither can you learn about this
seed in that manner. Friends,
when you get the spiritual knowl
edge of a new birth, then your
eyes will be opened, and you will
bacco; you won’t want to go to
college to learn to teach God’s
word. You won’t want to drink al
cohol, you won’t want to use to
bacco; you won’o want to gd to
the movies—in fact you won’t
want to do anything that has sin
in it. You will be looking for
something that has good in it—
you cannot sin because you are
bom of God you have that seed
What a glorious thought because
you have Jesus in your heart.
The reason people do not want
to obey the scripture is because
MANTEO, N. C-, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1955
WILL CONDUCT SPECIAL
SERVICES AT WANCHESE
MISS EUNICE LINDVALL, who
will conduct special services for
Youth Emphasis Week at the
Wanehese Assembly of God
Church, beginning February 22.
SPECIAL SERVICES AT
ASSEMBLY OF GOD
Miss Eunice Lindvall of Sunny
vale, California, now State Youth
Director and Sunday School rep
resentative for the Assemblies of
God in North Carolina, will be
conducting special Youth Empha
sis Week services at the Wanehese
Church February 22 through
Sunday, February 27. Services will
begin at 7:30 each evening to al
low ample time for the special
features for Fellows and Girls
such as question time, thought
time, Bible competition and “One
Moment Please” an unusual Bible
object lesson. A welcome remind
er will be presented to every
guest and visitor in the “First
Timers” section of the service.
On Thursday night a different
arrangement is scheduled. “Spot
light Time”_ will be introduced.
One evening Miss Lindvall will
tell of her experiences while she
was in Guatemala, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa
Rica.
While in that area travelling in
missionary work she visited a
little village of Alotenonge where
a young Guatemalan pastor lost
his life for the sake of the Gospel
when opposing invaders destroyed
three churches and several be
liever’s homes. Miss Lindvall has
specialized in Youth Evangelism.
When she was nine years old she
began teaching a Sunday School
class. At the age of 10, she start
ed a class in her home with an
average attendance of 50 boys and
girls. She began traveling with
her brother in Youth Revivals in
northern California. Later they
started and pastured a church in
Mountain View, California. In less
than 8 months the enrollment
grew from 2 to 200 in their Sun-

they cannot see the right things
of life. Did you ever stop to think
what this seed means to you ? % It
.means Jesus has come into your
heart and set up his kingdom.
That is the reason you can’t sin.
Stop and think: a good tree can
not bring forth evil fruit; neither
can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit—Matt. 7:18. So we
have got to oe free from sin or we
have got to be free from Christ.
We can’t be both. We can’t serve
sin and be a Christian. We can’t
lust after the world and serve God.
We have got to put down one or
the other; we can’t be on the fence
and save our soul.
Brother, when this spiritual
seed gets in your heart, you have
not got to be telling it. The world
will see Jesus in you and He will
take all that “don’t want to” out
of your life. Then we are fit to
serve our country and help make
it fit to live in. When we are born
again, we then know how to help
one another; how to speak clean
language. Some day you will read
in the papers that George R. Wil
'lig is dead. Don’t you believe it. At
that moment I will be more alive
than I now am. I shall have gone
up higher—that is all—out of this
old clay tenement into a house
that is immortal; a body fashioned
like unto his glorious body. I was
bom of the flesh and I was born
of the spirit. That which is born
of the flesh may die, but that
which is born of the spirit will live
forever. So then this spiritual
seed makes us live a righteous
life, then we can gain new heights
every day, and we will grow away
from this body until finally we
can bid farewell to this world and
say that we are seeking a country
to come whose maker and builder
in God. And we will grow so
strong in the spirit until we have
developed that spiritual body, and
then we will want to go.

Retired Commander 83rd Division Flew
to California to Praise Men In
_ Dramatic TV Program Wed
nesday Night
Major General Robert C. Macon,
the retired commander of the
83rd Division dramatically cli
maxed “This is your Life” TV pro
gram, coast to coast from Holly
wood, Wednesday night. The pro
gram praised the 329th platoon,
his old Thuderbolt Division which
forced the surrender of 20,000
Germans three months after the
Normandy invasion.
General Macon, who is well
known in Dare County and where
his father was born, flew to Holly
wood this week from his home in
lower Maryland. He wound up the
TV showing featuring Captain
Samuel W. McGill, Ohio native
now stationed in Stuttgart, Ger

The unusual television stunt as
sembled 19 platoon members, the
regiment commander and General
Macon to recreate this amazing
feat for the vast television audi
ence—the feat of a handful of
Americans assigned to guard the
left flank along the Loire River,
Seotember 1944.
The tvife, two children, the Cap

flown to Hollywood for the pro

Recalling acceptance of the
German General’s surrender, Gen
eral Macon warrrlv told Captain
McGill and the nlatoon: “I want
to salute you.” He declared their
“courage and devotion to duty”
was typical of American determi
nation to protect the freedom of
peace loving peoples.
WE MADE A MISTAKE IN
ITEM ABOUT RED CROSS
Hatteras did contribute!
Through an editorial oversight in
this newspaper last week, it was
made to appear that the commu
nity of Hatteras did not contribute
to the last Red Cross roll call. To
the contrary, Hatteras always
contributes, yet it has been one
of the smallest claimants for aid
from the Red Cross since the or
ganization first came to aid Dare
County people following the storm
of March 1932.
The line that was left out of
the copy and missed by the proof
reader should have read that
neither Manns Harbor nor Stumpy
Point contributed as communities
during the last roll call. The er
ror was entirely the oversight of
the editor, in editing the copy and
again in reading the proof. It was
not the mistake of any printer or
other employee. It burns us up to
get an error in print, but it will
happen, and we’re sorry.

I Only a short visit to Ocracoke
I is all that is necessary to deter
mine that Ocracoke Island is
headed for a great boom and a
new prosperity with soothing
shekels to reach throughout the
community. It is apparent that
the public spirited people of this
island are gratified at the recent
pledges of support that have come
from the north and the south,
given by neighbor counties in be
half of projects recently under
taken.
Not only are the people pleased
with support offered from both
Dare and Carteret County inter
ests, but more particularly be
cause there has been a revival of
interest in their behalf on the part
of Hyde County officials, who al
so see that the island offers pos
sibilities for development that
will be of worth to all the county
and all the people.
In recent years has Ocracoke
Island become frustrated and dis
couraged by the long delay in
trafficking with the county seat,
caused either by a rough trip
across the broad waters of Pam
lico Sound, or a long journey
around through several counties
to the south. While holding strong
affection with the rest of Hyde,
some of the citizens in their dis
couragement have advocated re
moving either to Carteret of
which the island was once a part,
or to Dare, their neighbor to the
north where a modern road reach
es to the tip of Hatteras Island,
just across the Inlet from Ocia
coke Island. •
The dilemma has retarded prog
ress and development for many
years, to the chagrin of Ocra
cokers, as well as the people of
the mainland who wanted to help.
It was not easy to do much for
Ocracoke because it was so far
away, nor was it easy for Ocra
cokers to make their way to the
county seat to make known their
needs and wants.
Travel first began to develop
toward Carteret County, where
the mail and passenger traffic
landed at Atlantic. This traffic
has been developing for many
years while traffic directly across
the sound has almost ceased. Fol
lowing establishment of a bus line
between Manteo and Hatteras
considerable traffic has developed
over this route between north and
south, until now an automobile
ferry operates across the inlet,
and business has grown sufficient
ly to demand a good road and toll
free ferry service.
And up to this point sentiment
began shaping up, first with one
group and another, to join either
Carteret or Dare County, in order
to give Ocracokers easier access
to county seat and public officials.
It was a cry born of desperation
and frustration. But always there
remained a group strongly loyal
to the county, and reluctant to
sever any sort of ties that bound
them to old political friends, and
old relatives.
In response to this varying
sentiment, and frequent appeals
on the part of citizens now and
then to officials’ of both Carteret
and Dare, to determine the senti
ment of these counties toward
Ocracoke, there came forth tid
ings of a most welcome nature.
For some months business and
civic interests of Carteret have ap
pealed to Ocracokers for their in
terests, " their business and good
will, and have pledged unqualifiel
support toward Ocracoke for their
projects.
Dare County Commissioners,
while assuring the Ocracoke peo
ple of their good will and spirit of
welcome in event they should wish
to join Dare County, declared
that in no wise were they urging
them to leave their county to join
Dare. They pledged their contin
ued wholehearted support for
road and other projects to benefit
Ocracoke for whatever helps Ocra
coke will help Dare.
As assurance of this support
and good will, Dare Commission
ers, Lawrence Swain of Manteo,
and E. P. White of Buxton visited
the Ocracoke Civic Club Monday
night, and stated Dare’s position*
A splendid welcome was given the
dare County men, and some 50
members of the club enjoyed a
