CONTEMPT HEARING
REVEALS CARELESS
HANDLING OF FUNDS
Hyde School Officials Scored For
Disbursing $19,000 Against
* Court's Orders
Testimony, brought out at a
hearing for contempt of court di
rected against school officials of
Hyde County and the State of
N. C. illustrates effectively the
wide-spread disregard of responsi
bility that exists among people
who spend some public funds,
namely other people’s money.
School Superintendent Tommy
Gaylord of Hyde County was found
guilty of contempt of court, in ob
taining from Raleigh state funds
in the sum of $19,000 and disburs
ing them in violation of a restrain
ing order issued on April 23 by
Judge Clifton Moore.
The. Judge was not pleased with
the disregard shown his order. It
was one phase of the long drawn
out school controversy in Hyde
County. Those who are contending
for a two high school system on
the Hyde mainland, content that
the “eager beaver attitude of Supt.
Gaylord is mainly responsible for
engineering and precipitating all
the Hyde mainland, contend that
the Board of Education has fol
lowed him with two thirds of this
strength, and that the spending of
I this money, with the checks hav
’ ing been signed by Chairman
| Gratz Credle, who claims he didn’t
know what the checks were for,
well illustrates their contention.
Chairman Cradle’s claim that he
signed away $19,000 of public
funds and didn’t know what it was
for, caused the judge to comment
that he should be home looking
after his farming.
Judge Moore is quoted as saying
“Men in public office who sign
$19,000 in checks without knowing
what they are for, have little to
recommend them for public office.”
Gaylord was most censured and
found guilty of contempt, but
judgement was deferred last Fri
•day in the hearing at Washington.
Chairman Credle was censured,
along with two state school offi
cials, namely A. C. Davis, auditor
for the State Board of Education;
and Controller C. D. Douglas who
issued the money on the request of
Supt. Gaylord. The state officials
contended they were unaware of
the court order, anil Gaylord that
he was not a party to the suit,
although the facts indicated he
was well aware that the disburse
ment of this money was forbidden
in the order.
The $19,000 was paid to
contractors engaged in building a
central high school near Lake
Comfort, but which it is alleged is
unlawfully being built, in that
Hyde County has not obtained
title to the amount of land essen
tial as a pre-requisite to building
a project of this kind. The suit
which resulted in the restraining
order was brought by Earl Top
ping, a citizen of Sladesville.
DARE AGENT REPORTS
ON MOLES, NEMATODES
Vernon Gaskill, of Wanchese,
has a new remedy for ground
moles. Gaskill has little wooden
windmills attached to a stake and
driven in the mole path. He says
the windmill’s turning causes vi
bration. “Moles do not like vibra
tion and stay clear of the area”,
says Uaskill.
The Wanchese resident says his
idea is not original. He got the
idea from an old resident years
ago. The old fellow would tamp
on the ground with a big stick
to drive moles out of his yard.
Gaskill said everyone there
thought the old man foolish. Gas
kill said the windmill idea is
easier, since it gets the vibrating
effect easier.
Lonnie Gray, who lives near
Manteo, has nematodes trouble in
his garden. Gray said that his
garden had done poorly all year.
Gray pulled up several plants and
found that nematodes or “root
knot” had severely infested his
garden. There are several mater
ials that do a good iob of control
ling nematodes. EDB, DD, and
Methyl Bromide are most com-

NEW SYSTEM FOR BILLING
LIGHT CHARGES ON ISLAND
In order to check the increasing
cost of reading meters and billing
accounts, the Virginia Electric and
Power Company announced today
that effective with July billing all
consumer accounts on Roanoke Is
land will be billed on a bi-monthly
basis. The every-other month bill
ing plan has been effective else
where in the company’s Albemarle
District for some time, and it has
been received very well.
Billing to larger commercial and
industrial customers will continue
on a monthly basis and other cus
tomers can, if they so desire pay
monthly as they have in the past.
By advising the company in ad
vance, it will furnish such custo
mers with the necessary cashier’s
coupons for payments to Ife made
during the non-reading months.
The coupons will be in an amount
equal to approximately the aver
age bill for one month and the
payment received will be credited
on the regular two month’s bill.
In order to divide the island into
two meter reading periods, custo
mers billed in July will next be
billed in September, and those in
August will not be billed again
until October.
The company realizes that some
of its customers may have ques
tions regarding the new billing
plan, and it requests that these be
directed to the local business of
fice.
The rugged coastline of tiny
Nova Scotia is three times longer
than the entire Pacific frontage of
California, Oregon, and Washing
ton State.
