VOLUME XXIV NO. 20
BREAK-INS POINT UP
NEED FOR BEACH
POLICE SERVICE
Losses Sustained Every Year By
Cottage Owners a Challenge
to Dare Officials
The growing need for establish
ment of a competent system of
police service on the Dare Beaches,
with men trained in the business
of finding evidence and apprehend
ing criminals continues to be
pointed up year after year. Last
week a further series of break-ins
occured, and many items were sto
len, but as is usual in these in
stances the thefts are not discov
ered until many days afterward,
and the few shreds of evidence that
would aid in finding the criminals
have been lost.
Sheriff Frank Cahoon reports
this week the following cottages
broken into, most of them on the
northern end of the beach: Dr. W.
C. Webb, Ashland, Va. several
tattles of whiskey stolen. W. P.
Manley, Hopewell, Va., breaking
and entry; Ed Talmadge, Peters
burg, Va., two spinning reels
missing.
Dr. John Norfleet of Suffolk, Va.
reported missing from his home,
a small table radio, an electric
dock, four spinner reels, two reels
two pairs pants, two pairs shoes,
canned goods, and a bolt-action 22-
cal. rifle. ,
The vast amount of investment
in property on the Dare beaches,
much of it unprotected through
the winter months, brings to the
county treasury, the most of its tax
income. Its owners feel that they
should be given some service by the
county, inasmuch as the taxes they
pay is all gravy, in that these prop
erty owners do not make use of the
schools, nor eat up the welfare
fund. They pay heavy, how’ever, to
support these departments. But
never has Dare County provided
competent police service; there is
not employed in Dare County today
any person with aptitude or skill
in modern police methods and none
of its officers have had training
in this important profession.

PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE WALTER RALEIGH COASTLAND OF NORTH CAROLINA
HEADS OF SAA NAMED AT ENGELHARD LAST WEEK
I'-\\
' "
DR. W. T. RALPH
Vice-President
Beaufort County
THESE MEN, with five others were elected to head the Southern
Albemarle Association last week. Pictures are not available of Earl
Topping of Hyde, the Vice-President to succeed W. W. Watson; of
W. H. Darden of Plymouth, the Vice-President succeeding H. W. Prit
chett, for Washington; of W. J. White, the new president, nor of B.
S. Courtney of Martin and Harry Swain of Tyrrell.
Mr. White, who was named
president again this time, has
served as president before, as well
as several terms as Vice Presi
dent; Mr. Daniels of Dare succeeds
himself, as does Mr. Courtney for
Martin, and W. M. Darden of
Plymouth, all of whom have served
as Vice-presidents. Dr . W. T.
Ralph of Belhaven has served
previously as President, having
been unanimously elected when
Beaufort County joined the asso
ciation in 1952.
Mr. White, a faithful member of
the Association who has missed
none of its meetings, succeeds
Leon Ballance of Engelhard, the
retiring president
Mrs. Borden McClees of Colum
bia was elected Recording Secre
tary. M. A. Matthews, as Treas
urer, has held the office since 1935.
The meeting at Engelhard was
considered highly successful last
week. It pointed up a promising
field of endeavor for the Associa
tion to press forward in from now
on. An address by Wayne Corpen
ing, agricultural agent of the
Wachovia Bank of Winston-Salem
recited inspiring examples of
progress that had been made by a
group of rural counties in the
northwest, united in an effective
movement to develop small indus
tries geared to the agriculture of
their area.
The visiting delegates at Engel
hard were well fed on seafood at
the Poparena. Renewed endorse
ment was given to the bridging
of Alligator River and Oregon In
let. At the behest of Woodrow
Edwards of Waves, who spoke in
favor of the Oregon Inlet bridge,
aided by Melvin Daniels of Man
teo, this project is definitely a
major part of the SAA’s road pro
gram.
The welcome was delivered by
W. W. Watson, retiring Hyde
County Vice President.

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES:
Bring In Some Money for the Working Man
By Restoring Confidence Here for Investors
Dear Mr. Editor:
About this time every year there
is 'a great outcry about nothing
to do to make any. money. It seems
to get worse every year. People
who own lots on the beach don’t
seem to be in a hurry to build,
and you know that is what a lot
of our people have been living on
for several years. It turns loose
money with carpenters, painters,
bricklayers, contractors and con
crete men, and they spend money
with the stores and it all helps out.
Now many people who have a
little money and who are willing
to invest because they like to have
summer homes on our beach have
changed their mind hbout building.
They say there is too much un
certainty and doubt; too much risk
that it will entice the county offi
cials to raid them with high taxes.
Folks who come to our beach like
to know their property and family
are safe when they are gone, and
they complain because there is no
police protection and the county
employs only police officers with
neither experience, knowledge or
training, and consequently nothing
is done to stop the constant break
ins and continued loss of valuable
property.
We folks who need work to do,
hope something will be done to
ward restoring the confidence of
investors in Dare County. Our
county officials have got to stop
hi-jacking ’em for unreasonable
taxes and wasting the money with
out providing reasonable police
protection. Our investors are tired
of seeing not enough competent
and reliable men holding office
who have got backbone and guts
to be fair, square and above-board.
They are tired of seeing the coun
ty run by indifferent men who
leave control up to one or two indi
viduals who are ignorant, incom
petent, and consider nothing but
their own little selfish world. In
rtA-ri nroperly attending to the
job they are elected for, they just
have to meddle and mess up every
thing else but what they ought to

AN ORGANIZATION
TO RAISE FUNDS FOR
4-H SCHOLARSHIPS
Mrs. Leo Midgett and M. K.
Fearing Jr. Launch New Group
Sponsored by Farm and
Home Clubs
At a meeting Wednesday night
in Manteo, further plans were
made for the work of a committee
to assist in raising funds for the
state-wide project, 4-H in action.
Mrs. Leo Midgett is now the
County chairman of this move
ment, with M. K. Fearing Jr. co
chairman. Mr. Fearing, Dr. Wai
lace Harvey, Frank Cahoon, A. C.
Thompson and M. L. Daniels Jr.
will canvass the business houses
and clubs for the cause. Mrs. Carl
Nunemaker of Nags Head is treas
urer and Mrs. Doris Bonner of
Manteo, secretary. Others attend
ing the meeting this week were
Mrs. Fran Cullis, County Agent;
Mrs. C. A. York of Kitty Hawk.
Mrs. Eddie Reber, of Nags Head,
Mrs. Harry Baum of Wanchese, J.
L. Rea, County Farm Agent; D. V.

ton.
The state-wide plan to raise
funds embrace the hope that a size
able income may be developed
whereby many scholarships may be
given to deserving young people,
to finance 4-H camns and support
other causes essential to the pro
gram. A better outline of the pro
gram is contained in a recent book
let: “4-H in Action.” We quote:
“Our 4-H club programs have
long recognized that individual ex
cellence is worthy of praise and ad
miration. Not content to be only
“average,” youngsters are encour
aged to demonstrate their skill and

put their time on, and whose only
creed is “rule or ruin.”
Now we find them weeping and
wailing, splitting their shirt to say
who will be chairman of the next
county board. Why should they be
so all-fired anxious to Mictate the
chairman? There can be only one
answer, they are afraid of an
honest accounting, or they are
afraid more people will find out
how incompetent they are, or they
are afraid some of their gravy will
be cut out, and they shorely have
been on a gravy train a long time.
I think Mr. Editor that it isn’t
much of a compliment to any man
to be the chosen candidate of this
bunch. The mere fact that they
back him is an insult, for they
thereby mark him as a man they
think don't know anything about
the work and that they can control
him. And God help us if this old

NOVEMBER ON
THE BANKS
By MARVIN W. HOWARD
Continued From Last Week
v ■ -
We know and feel assured that
“nothing can stop the gentle hand
of progress” but since this part of
America is to become part of the
National Park Service, it will still
remain in its infant form (except
for people) as it was several hun
dred years ago. Therefore if the
laws which are a part of progress
and result from increasing popu
lation and the variety of minds in
our human element, do not become
too stringent, then, and then only
can we ever hope to retain any
part of that rich heritage with
which we are so bountifully sup
plied, that is nature without
change, freedom ans a chance
to- stroll along the hunting
paths to enjoy the crisp No
vember days, free. A chance
to meditate, on the other
hand to reap the harvest of better
things and better economical liv
ing, with the coming or advent of
perhaps several small businesses
and the ingress and egress of num
erous people which will expand
over the years we’ would perhaps
wish for the National Park Serv
ice.
Enter The Wildfowl
November brings along the wild
honkers, the black ducks, teal and
a few other species, such as. the
American widgeon, or bald-pate,,
the buffle-head, brant and others
that add spice to our days afield.
Along the surf can be seen people
casting for the Red-Drum, and as
we watch the excitement a young
lady in fishing togs reels in a 30
or 40 pound dram. The sands
whipped up by the north winds,
like snow, sail along across the
beach, over the high water mark
and is deposited in the rolling sea.
As one rides along the beaches,
birds like the willett, goodwit, yel
low-leg and other varieties feed as
the sea rolls down. Along the
openings or draws on the sand
rills or browsing on briar or bam
boo one can see cattle, which have
been a part of this free country
for years. In the woods and high
marshes now, the wild horse is
also browsing on the briar leaves
and other flora.
A cotton-tail scampers across
the open spaces and the vision.
Wild domestic cats hunting birds
or field mice are occasionally seen
creeping slowly along, fat, shiny
and sleek in their winter coats.
' A few sheep, the only remnants
of a large flock, full of dirty wool,
having not been sheared in ages,
scamper in excitement across the
foot hills as the hunter rounds a
hill and jump shoots a dove. The
dog gets the dove, delivers it to
hand. The hunter pauses and
wonders what the changes of the
next few years will really bring.
Along the reefs in the sound vis
ible to the hunters on the hills is

A FAVORABLE AUTUMN HAS
ENCOURAGED TRAVEL AND
AIDED COASTLAND FISHING
Many Delighted With Balmy Weather and Clear
Days While Others are Hopeful For Changes
to Usher in the Wildfowl Season Monday Morn
ing, Nov. 17 in Fine Style; Geese and Ducks on
Outer Banks in Great Numbers.
The Coastland has thrived on
the balmy weather, with clear
skies, which have prevailed for
several weeks, and business has
continued good at many motels,
and other places of business most
accessible to the fishing areas.
Now those who love wildfowl hunt
ing best of all are hoping come
Monday Nov. 17th, weather will
become somewhat rough to en
courage good shooting conditions.
There are few shooting places
to accommodate hunters on the
Outer Banks, other than at Ocra
coke Island. Only three or four on
Hatteras Island operate, and the
only place giving an entire pack
age deal now in operation is Mirlo
Beach Lodge at Rodanthe where
reservations are reported much
greater than in any other year.
Mack Etheridge’s place at Wan
chese, Walter Perry’s Cherokee
Inn at Kill Devil Hills are the
only other Dare County places
listed with the N. C. Travel Bu
reau as caterers to this business.
There are several guides how
ever, who take out hunters, but
they usually board at other places.
In the Currituck County area,
there is a great number of places
accommodating hunters, for in this
county, wildfowl shooting consti
tutes a big industry.
Due to the great number of fowl,
and the interest now being shown
bv hunters, it is expected this will
be one of the biggest seasons ever.
Mattamusfkeet Hunting
That great lake in Hyde County
known as Mattamuseet, legendary,
fabulous in its recent history,
source of great cash income, is
having more attention than ever
before directed to it this season.
By reason of the vast number of
wildfowl which come to it, it has
become the foremost mecca for
hunters on the Atlantic seaboard.
Reports from all sources which
cater to these people indicate a
25% increase in bookings already
for hunters in the first week of
the season which will open Mon
day, November 17th.
The snow geese arrived at Pea
Island National wildlife refuge just
south of Oregon Inlet early Thurs
day, Aycock Brown advises. Many
swan have arrived also.
Like the swallows which return
to Capistrano the California mis
sion town on St. Joseph’s Day,
March 19 each spring, the first
snow geese arrive, according to
tradition, dating back to 1918 on
Armistice Day or November 11
each year.
- This year the rare greater
American snows arrived on sched
ule from their Arctic Circle nest
ing grounds. Before the end of No
vember 10,000, or possibly 15,000
or about half of the world’s total
population of Greater American
Snow Geese will be at their winter
feeding ground in the national
wildlife refuge created for them
on a 12 mile stretch of the Outer
Banks between Oregon Inlet and
Rodanthe in 1938.
Tradition on the Outer Banks is
that the snow geese begin their
migratory flight northward again
on Old Christmas which at Ro
danthe, nearest community to the
refuge is celebrated on January 5.
The swallows of San Juan Capis
strano, if you are interested, begin
their southbound migratory flights
to Latin American countries, ac
cording to legend, on October 23
each year.
Cannel Bass Center
Cape Hatteras at this season of
the year is the center of channel
bass surf fishing along the Atlan
tic Coast, as rugged fighters are
being caught daily, southwest to
Ocracoke Inlet northward to Avon,
Salvo and Rodanthe.
A dozen topping 50 pounds each
have been taken during the past
two weeks.
On November 3, John Twatch
man of Ardmore, Pa. brought in a
62 pounder on 20 pound test line—
potentially a new world’s record
for that test line. This week Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Clark of Stone
Harbor, N. J. collaborated to bring
in a 59 pounder, not eligible for
contest entry because two persons
had a hand in landing it. A Coast
Guard Chief, C. W. Silvers, sta
tioned here caught a 57% pounder
on the past week end and there
have been many others taken in
the 40 to 55 pound class.
A 55-pounder was landed on
Tuesday by. Mrs. Natalie Becker
of Springfield, Pa. at Cape Hat
teras.
