in this campaign.

E. Earnhardt of Concord.
Commissioner of Agriculture L.
Y. Ballentine is opposed by Kermit

Crane, Commissioner of Labor, is
opposed by James R. Farlow and

ed outside his home jtown.
Charles Gold is opposed at
Stae Insurance Commissioner but
Gold is expected to be returned to
office. His opponent is John N.
Frederick.

Stick’s subject was built around
‘ the history one finds in their own

persons to record events of signif

Kill'Devil Hills author knew what
he was talking about because he
did much research for his best

STATE'S "MISS UNIVERSE"
CONTEST SCHEDULED FOR
’ NAGS HEAD IN JUNE
Kill Devil Hills.—North Caro
lina’s “Miss Universe” Contest,
fore-runner of an international
pulchritude in Long Beach, Calif.,
will be held here on the Dare
Beaches during late June, if con
tracts between Buck Colling of
Virginia Beach and the Nags Head
Chamber of Commerce, scheduled
to be reviewed before the current
week has passed are approved.
Colling outlined plans for such
a statewide competition, for which
he said he had the franchise for
North Carolina and Virginia was
at a special called meeting of the
Nags Head Chamber of Commerce,
at Kill Devil Hills in>the Croatan
Hotel on Tuesday night. Tom
Briggs, president of the Chamber,
presided at the meeting.
Because of time element, the
contest this year would not be on
as large a scale as similar contests
in June of 1957-58. Colling gave
the group assurance, however, that
a minimum of 10 and possibly
more contestants would be in the
statewide competition this year.
The winner would become the Miss
Universe Contest’s “Miss North
Carolina” and she woujd receive
an all-expense trip to Long Beach
on the west coast to compete for
“Miss United States” a title which
will give the one selected an oppor
tunity to become the outstanding
beauty of the 4vorld.
Except furnishing accommoda
tions and meals for contestants,
which many vacation operators
readily agreed to do, expenses for
staging the event would be paid
from admission charges to the con
test here. It would be a three-day
event—and this year it would be

HALF-MILLION FOR
OREGON INLET IS
APPROVED IN BILL
Would Stabilize Channel and
Bring Deep Water Into
, Pamlico Sound
First fruits of the constant work
of Congressman Bonner, aided by
many people in Dare County, ap
peared this week in approval in
the House appropriations bill by
the sub-eommittee, of a fund of
$570,000 for the improvement of
Oregon Inlet. This is the first
time funds have been included in
the appropriations bill for this
project, and with the steadfast in
terest of Senators Ervin and Scott
assured, there is now hope that
funds will become a reality.
Alvah H. Ward Jr. of Mauteo,
who got news from Congressman
Bonner's office Monday, is hopeful
that at last something tangible is
in sight for this much needed
project The clamor for Oregon In
let developed into a big campaign
some ten years ago under the
leadership of the late Alvah H.
Ward, a Manteo businessman, and
through his efforts great interest
was aroused throughout Eastern
North Carolina. Delegation after
delegation went to Washington,
and large sums were donated by
the fishing interests of the state,
aided by liberal support from the
Dare County Commissioners. In
this early effort Victor Meekins
and Ben Dixon Mac Neill spent
much time on the project.
Mr. Ward spent much time cam
paigning through the coastal coun
ties, to arouse interest in the proj
ect. Since his death, the work has
gone on, although somewhat inter
mittently. When his son returned
to Manteo some three years ago,
he took up the old banner, and
found the same groups anxious to
aid in the project. Recently the
Commissioners sent a delegation
to Washington to help in this
cause. Among those who went to
Washington recently in behalf of
the project with Mr. Ward were
James W. Davis of Wanchese
Ruritan Club, Melvin Daniels and
Lawrence Swain for the Board of
Commissioners.
Helping in the cause were vari
ous public spirited citizens all
along the Coast. The Ocracoke
support was led by Stanley Wa
hab. Support came from William
Potter of Beaufort, Garland Ful
cher of Oriental, and other prom
inent fishermen and business men.
Elizabeth City, Edenton, Columbia,
Norfolk, Belhaven, Washington and
other towns, came to the rescue
in the early days.
It’s been a long hard fight, and
it could have been lost, had those
who gave so much time to it at
any time given up their struggle.
The hardest work was done first.
It took a lot of time and money
to show those in power the need
for the project. Final approval
was obtained for a project that
will call for the expenditure of a
million dollars, when all phases
recommended by engineers are
complete. The present appropria
tion now is prospect of becoming
a reality, will be a grand start
and mean much for the economic
development of this region. It
will bring deep water into Pam
lico Sound through the inlet, and
will be of immense value to vari
ous nearby community ports.
