Engineers Give Permit For Struc
ture 14,145 Feet Long;
Contract in 1960
WILMINGTON.—The Corps of
Engineers’ District Office here ad
vises that the State Highway Com
mission has been issued a permit to
build a bridge across the Alligator
River east of Columbia.
Plans for the structure say it will
be a swing bridge with the opening
section resting on a pivot When
open, the hridge will provide a
passageway on each side with each
being 100 feet wide. A width of
only 80 feet is normally required,
but in this case it was felt that an
extra 20 feet would lessen the
chances of barges and tugs damag
ing the bridge in rough weather!
which tends to recur in this open- j
water area.
When the bridge is closed to land
traffic it will have a vertical
clearance of 15 feet It will have
567 spans for a total length of 14,-
i 46 feet In fixed, non-opening
bridges, the rule is now for an 80-
foot vertical clearance. A study is
under way now to determine wheth
er or not it should be reduced for
bridges, as in this case, on the At
lantic Intracoastal Waterway. A
decision on the matter is expected
next year.
Contract for this bridge is ex
pected to be let early in 1960 by the
State Highway Commission. A
simitar bridge is to be built across
Oregon Inlet, for which contract is
expected to be let later in the
year.

ENGELHARD AND HATTERAS
DREDGING WORK TO START
WILMINGTON. Plans were
announced here October' 7, the
Corps of Engineers for approxi
mately 300,000 cubic yards of
maintenance dredging in three wa
terway projects in the Pamlico-
Albemarle Sounds area.
An advance notice issued by
Col. R. P. Davidson, District En
gineer, says the harbors at Eden
ton and Engelhard are to be re
stored to project depth of 12 feet
and Rollinson Channel at Hatteras
to a depth of six feet.
Bids for the work are scheduled
to be opened here November 17
with the dredging to follow 30
days after receipt of the notice to
proceed. The successful contractor
will have four months to complete
the three-way job.
Meanwhile, according to Col
onel Davidson, the dredging of the
12-foot channel from Manteo and
Wanchese to Oregon Inlet is pro
gressing on schedule. A recent re
port said this project, involving
over 2 million yards, is approxi
mately 35 per cent complete. The
dredging of the bar channel at the
inlet has been scheduled for the
coining spring months.
MOSQUITO CONTROL
DISTRICT SOUGHT
IN HYDE COUNTY
Petitions Circulated Asking Entire
Boundaries Be lincluded
In Project
Petitions have ben prepared and
are being circulated, calling on
the Hyde County of Com
missioners to establish a mosqui
to control district including all of
the county, in the interest of pub
lic health, and as authorized in
Chapter 1247 of the public' laws
of 1957.
The petitions point out that the
way is already set for calling a
special election for the purpose.
We are advised that the County
Board already has set a ten cent
on the SIOO levy for this pur
pose, and it is now advocated
that the 25 cents be added to pro
vide the maximum, which is be
lived to be enough to do a credi
table job of wiping out the pests.
Apparently there is resistance
to the movement, for it is report
ed that some of the petitions left
in the stores, after having been
signed, have been destroyed.

The flower show in Swan Quar

about every woman in the commu
nity who is active in other af
fairs is on the committee, and
space limitations in this issue do
not permit naming them here.
Chairwomen are Mrs. W. S. Cann
and Mrs. R. G. Baum.
From preparations that are be
iny made it is apparent that a
show is to be expected which is
unexcelled in Hyde County. There
will be many classifications and
full detaids may be obtained from
the chairwomen.

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES:
Says The Time You Give to A Child
Can Enable Him to Have A Happy Life
Dear Mr. Editor:
I just read something in a little
pamphlet that makes me want to
preach a sermon. I think it is
especially timely in this day and
time when by example the Ameri
i can people have taught so many of
our young folks that proper carri
age is acompanied by both hands
out, palms upward. This piece I
am talking about goes like this:
“I do not want anybody to
convince my son that someone
will guarantee him a living. I
want him rather to realize that
there is plenty of opportunity
in this country for him to
achieve success, but that
whether he wins or loses, de
pends entirely on his own
character, perseverance, thrift,
intelligence, and capacity for
1 hard work.”
Now Mr. Editor, I believe herein
lies deliverance from the crux of
“juvenile delinquency” which each
day pierces the hearts of this na
tion more deeply. We have failed
in our duty to our young people;
1 we are guilty of a mortal sin of
■ omission in this respect. For a third
; of a century we have been grow
; ing progressively more remiss in
' our responsibility of “training up
' the child in the way he should go.”
While all of us know that happy
people are busy people; while we
' have since learned that only things
one earns are appreciated and en
joyed, while all of us have wel
comed the apparent freedom that
the mechanical monsters of modern
science have brought to us to re
; lieve our burdens, we have not re
membered to cushion the shocking
changes through provision of sub
' statutes for the labor that formerly
occupied the mind and time of the
growing child.
New we are caught in the ten
tacles of a giant octupus which is
1 about to drag us down. It is adult
people who have permitted the
burdens land the horrors of this de
■ linquency to be visited upon us.
All of us now stand under an
i awful sword which will cut us down
i if we evade a minute longer the
i grave responsibility that is ours. It
is our duty to give our young

projects.
Dixon pointed out that Scouting
in Dare County had increased from
two to nine Scout units, and be
lieves that the drive would stimu

and Patrols in the communities of
Dare.
Dixon congratulates Mr. Gibbs
on his progress in securing top men
to put the drive over. Serving as
Vice Chairman are Ralph Davis and
Julian Oneto. Gibbs appointed the
captains as follows—Manteo, Ralph

H. Smith for Kitty Hawk. Ernie
Fuller appointed as auditor with
Aycock Brown as Publicity Chair
man.
Mr. Gibbs pointed out that the
funds were needed to train volun
teer leaders to ensure personal
services to existing units and or
ganize units, program development
and promotion, to maintain the
services of trained professional
services furnished by the Tidewater
Council, and other provisions.

are little, to find tasks for them
to do; to encourage them that a'
task fulfilled will be rewarded. We
must encourage them to know that
which they earn is best not
wasted.
It’s easy to look back on the past
and see where we have failed our
own children. To see, where in fol
lowing our various pursuits, we|
failed in giving them of ourselves
in time spent with them. This could
have been the most important thing
in any person’s life. It’s often too
late for many of us to do good
after we have learned this lesson
and we look around to find our
children have gone away from
us.
Before it is too late, let us make
amends as best we may. Let us
give some of our time to our grand
, children, that they may share in
• stead in some of the blessings their
t parents may fail to bring to them.

I then try to make up for it by help

1 Let me tell you, friends, it’s not
■ merely money that makes a child
l happy and helps him to grow up in
i to a well-balanced person. It is the
’ time you spend with the child. You
' can be the best teacher in the world

him to become quick-witted and re

i Let him imagine he is having a

The body was removed to Twi
ford Funeral Home. Graveside

Virginia. His medical career was
brief, and he preferred teaching
at the University. In 1919 he en
tered the Army and advanced to
rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and
held this rank in the Air Corps
Reserve as well.
He was a noble, gentle, scholar
ly figure who loved Dare County,

One of his chief interests here
was the Wright Memorial. He had
distinguished himself, particularly
in the field of Spanish language,

CANCER DRIVE GETTING
UNDERWAY IN DARE CO.
Additional Workers Reported and Cam*
paign Just Beginning to Raise
SI,BOO Quota
Progress reports of the Cancer
Crusade are beginning to arrive.
Nine volunteers have reported
$175 collected. Community work
ers in addition to those mentioned
in last week’s paper are: Elmo
Whitson, Duck; Mrs. Blanche
Thompson, Southern Shores; Mrs.
Dalton Beasley, Kitty Hawk; Mrs.
•Millie Midgett, Mashoes; Mrs. Ida
Meekins, Colington; Mrs. Eddie
Reber and Mrs. Millicent Mann,
Nags Head; Kay Twiford, Linda
Barbee, Carolyn Knight, Stumpy
Point. The total number of work
ers throughout the county is six
ty. This number may seem large
with too many people for small
areas, but general Crusade chair
man Mrs. Raymond Weacott want
ed the responsibility shared by as
many as apossible with no few
persons being burdened. It is the
hope of all those connected with
the Cancer Society that informa
tion will be spread and action by
the people will be the result of
the Crusade. According to current
data one out of every three fami
lies will have cancer. A successful
Crusade will help to cut this ratio
for Dare County. A poster dis
played at the Memorial Clinic in
Manteo will show the amount of
money reported.
Since Dare did not fullfil it’s
S9OO quota last year, it will be
necessary to raise SI,BOO for this
worthy cause. Dare has a lot of
Cancer patients and from this
money raised for the National
fund, large sums of it comes back
to aid needy cases, sometimes more
than is actually donated by an
area.
One of the first gifts was free

Rotary Club Monday night.
