MEL BROUGHTON
CONSIDERED IN
GOVERNOR RACE
Hewlett's Shift to Senator Race
Not Considered Too Fa
orably
By FLOYD WOLFE
RALEIGH, Feb. 9.—The big pow
wow came and went, Saturday
night, and some upset stomachs
followed the Jackson-Day dinner,
due to the meal falling below culi
nary standards, but exceeding in
number of diners about 50 more
than could be fed. Democrats
raised about $30,000 for the war
chest
Wails of disappointment were
heard over a number of things.
Many said they had been hoping
Ed Gill would run for Governor,
and were tolling him so, for he
was on hand. Gill has long been
considered the best qualified man
in the whole crew that had' been
mentioned. It is a loss that the
state cannot have the benefit of
his services.
Highway Chairman Mel Brough
ton now says he will give a defi
nite answer on the 15th, which is
next Monday, and while many at
one tame believed he would be a
candidate,' more now believe he
won’t run. Even his good friends
say there is plenty of profit in
waiting, but some risk in rushing
in now so lately.
While thousands of voters have
committed themselves to John
Larkins or to Terry Sanford for
Governor, there are thousands
more who want somebody else to
vote for, and Broughton would be
welcomed in the race. Assistant At
torney General Beverly Lake may
pet into the race, and many who
are committed now to the two an
nounced candidates are unhappy at
the thought, for this brilliant gen
tlemen’s entry in the field would be
expect to give rise to a lot of un
comfortable issues that would put
the boys in tough spots and under
bright lights. He’s promised a
1 statement this week.
While Addison Hewlett has
strong supporters among those who
served with him in the house, his
shift after running seven months
unofficially for Governor and an
nouneang for Senator is not ex
pected to go far enough to satisfy
him. He surely offended the friends
of his fellow-townsman, Congress
man Alton Lennon who wanted to
run for Senator, but who held off
while waiting for Mr. Hewlett to
canvass the state for seven months
for Governor, and to make up his
mind. Mr. Lennon knew that two
candidates for ton office from the
rame town wouldn’t pay off. Then
Mr. Hewlett, finding he couldn’t
finance a campaign for Governor,
gtave Mr. Lennon three days to
make up his mind, or else—Mr.
Hewlett would run. Mr. Lennon was
disgusted; his friends more so.
In allowing the Sanford support
ers to stampede him into the race
for Senator, in hope of choking
off a possible effort for Larkins,
Mr. Hewlett is considered to have
made a serious mistake.
A canvass of delegations from
daMtem counties revealed that sev
eral of those who are considered
the party organization are united
in behalf of Sanford and Hewlett.
This may be largely because of
Hewlett being favored by the sup
port of the county House mem
ber, but in some instances this
can hurt a candidate more than
, it can help. An exception is Pam
lico County which appears strong
for Hewlett and Laridns, the lat
ter being a neighbor and long
established friend of the party lead
ers. ’ <
Indications here Saturday night
from all over the First District
is that Congressman Herbert Bon
ner will win by an overwhelming
majority in the primary, and his
friends say they will take nothing
for granted, but are going to get
out to work up a big vote to streng
then his influence in the Congress
where he enjoys long seniority, and
is known as one of the ablest Con
gressman there.

TAYLOR ATTENDS
BLOOD PROGRAM
MEETING FEB. 9
Many Organizations Preparing to
Assist Campaign on Coast
for Blood Bank
Floyd B. Taylor, Dare County’s
Red Cross Blood Program Chair
man, represented the local Red
Cress Chapter at a special meet
ing of the Tidewater Regional
Blood Committee, Feb. 9, at the
Officer’s Club, Naval Air Station,
at Norfolk.
“The entire Tidewater Region
was well represented in the attend
ance at this special meeting,” Tay
lor said, “with more than 100 per
sons—top Red Cross officials, local
chapter representatives, and spe
cial guests—on hand for the oc
casion.”
Highlight of the meeting was an
address by Dr. Sam Gibson, Na
tional Director of the Blood Pro
gram, Mr. Taylor reported. “Dr.
Gibson’s message was packed with
information and inspiration, im
pressive statistics on the total
scope of the blood program with
its international as well as na
tional aspects.
Meanwhile, Chairman Taylor re
ports several items of interest in
new support and developments in
the Blood Program here in Dare
County. Perhaps the most encour
aging news is that 100% backing
is being received from every or
ganized group so far contacted re
garding their interest in a blood
program for the County. The Man
teo Elementary School PTA, Mrs.
Troy Shepard, President, with a
large attendance persent for its
February meeting, gave a unani
mous standing Vote to support the
program,” Taylor reports. Rotary
and Lions Club had previously in
dicated support
“Interest in the program has
spread to Ocracoke Island,” Tay
lor said, “and Jack Willis, Presi
dent Ocracoke Civic Club, sent
word that his people at a large
meeting this week voted to ask
to come in with Dare County in
the program, and that they would
meet the Blood Mobile at Buxton.”
Taylor took this up with the Red
Cross in Norfolk this week end has
obtained permission for this ar
rangement. “This is a more logical
tie-in with the blood program than
with Hyde County and will be of
great help to our people on the
southern tip of the Outer Banks,”
he pointed out.

DELAYS DEVELOP
IN DREDGING JOB
IN OREGON INLET
Dredge Planned For Work Toe
Big; Engineers Expect to Fin
ish By July 31
Congressman Herbert C. Bonner
advises that information from th*-
Corp of Engineers indicates some
delay in completing the Orego’-
Inlet dredging job, and what had
expected to be finished in last
Spring, may not be concluded be
fore the end of July. Mr. Bonner
advises there will be no let up in
effort.
Meanwhile work is going for
ward on the long channel through
Roanoke Sound, but further delay
was occasioned this week when
the dredge Northwind was taken
away for major repairs, following
a breakdown caused by rock
brought up from the channel.
These “ballast stones,” so long
believed to have been brought to
this country by English ships,
were more likely thrown off West
India trading schooners, when re
turning light through the inlet
which long existed south of Nags
Head.
Col. R. P. Davidson, District
Engineer has explained the Ore
gon Inlet situation in a letter to
Congressman Bonner, as follows:
“A recent survey of Oregon In
let indicates a controlling depth
of 8.6 feet over the ocean bar.
Since the hopper dredge HYDE
requires a minimum depth of 10.5
feet, I am forced to revise the
dredging schedule which I gave
you in my letter of 13 January
1960.
“There are two possible proce
dures which could be followed to
provide a channed across the bar:
“(1) Use a pipeline dredge to
provide a narrow (pilot) channel,
12 to 14 feet deep, across the bar
and then use the HYDE to com
plete the job.
“(2) Use a pipeline dredge to
dredge the channel to full project
dimensions.
“11l order to accomplish the
work as economically as possible,
it is now planned to advertise for
bids on both the pilot channel and
the channel to full project dimen
sions. Aftel bids are received I
will be able to determine the best
method of accomplishing the
work.
“Bids for dredging the new 12’
x 100’ inside channel will be open
ed on 16 February 1960 and it is
expected that this channel will be
completed not later than 31 July
1960. The weather during the
months of June and July is best
for pipeline dredging on the bar
channel; therefore, it is contem
plated that the bar channel will
be completed at approximately
the same time as the inside chan
nel.” '

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK
Says Biggest Profits tc
Can Come From Coi
Dear Mr. Editor:
Every once in a while I see in
your paper where some fellow
writes about the pleasure he got
out of visiting our homeland be
cause of the friendliness of our
people. And I also- see where others
say we still need a little more of
it
With all of this I can agree, and
I hope all who are in the front
of things along this coast will put
more and more emphasis on it in
tiie future, and also I would like
to see courtesy be made a regular
course in all grades in our public
schools. -
Our living here depends on what
we sell, and the biggest things we
have to sell, with the most profit
in them are our seashore and sun
shine, and ihild weather and above
all, friendliness.
We cannot do la good job of win
ning the liearts and cash of our
visitors unless we master the art
of politeness, and it takes a lot
of self-control and discipline to do
it
We can see the true picture of
the situation if we compare our
visitors with persons who go to
a store to buy something. All of
us like to find friendly clerks who
do not lose patience with us if we
take a long time to get exactly
what we want After all, it’s our
money, and we ought to have what
we went
Mlaybe our visitor* feel the same
way about it, and litas the store,
if it gets no trad* it will have to
go out of business and people will
lose jobs, and that won’t make any
one happy.

GRASSY RIDGE IN
HYDE TO GET A
LONG NEEDED ROAD
Seven Mile Project Northwest
From Ponzer to Cost $137-
000 With Bridges
The Grassy Ridge road in Hyde
sometimes called Pat's road, ex
tending 6.8 miles from Ponzer to
Route 99 is to be improved with
•hree bridges at> a total cost of
$137,000, according to informa
tion received this week by Dick
O’Neal of Hyde from John P.
Swain, Secondary Roads officer 1
of the State Highway Commission.
The road will serve a school bus ;
and mail route, having at the pres- 1
ent time 14 families, with several *
more in prospect. On it is an of- ]
fiee, a garage, and six dairies. The ■
cost of the bridges will be $35,000
and the entire job will take con
siderable time due to it having to
be finished in stages as allotments I
of money are available. A small
part of the road is in Beaufort
County.
Adoption of this road is the cul- 1
mination of effort over many years J
by interested citizens of the area,
and it will shorten the distance be
tween Swtan Quarter and Plymouth
by several miles.

iurtesy and Hospitality 1 <
iii ■ i :
they’ve completed a course in a
recognized school that teaches ,
modern business courtesy and other
fine arts of trade.
A person who has always been
rude and abrupt, and thoughtless :
of speech cannot change overnight
and walk onto a new job and make '
good where a lot of tact, diplomacy :
and “know-how” in general is es
sential. 1
People as a rule do not learn ;
politeness and discipline after they .
grow up. It must be taught them '
from the time they can toddle.
If a man has no money, and very j
little education, he can still be sue- ,
cessful in life if courtesy comes ,
naturally to him from having been I
taught it at home. .
Nothing seems too difficult to ]
a man if he is making money do

make more money out of anything 1
else in this part of the country than

Doesn’t it make you feel good

BY MAYOR COOK
lefutes Charges That He Bene
fits From Restriction of Build

Mayor R. H. Cook wlio disclaims
iny benefits he might hope to gain
hrough zoning restrictions passed
n the town of Kill Devil Hills lias
this newspaper with a
statment, and copy of a letter from
the Attorney General’s, office in
upport of his position. Mayor
Oook says he is standing alone most
yf the time in trying to save the
town from evils that can easily
overtake it, and he is concerned
with making it a better place and
worth more to good citizens to
own it and enjoy it.
The Mayor says some circulation
was given a rumor that zoning re
strictions would benefit himself,
but nothing could be farther from
the facts. He thinks it could bene
fit more readily some oilier mem
ber of the town Government or his
friends. •
The quotations from the At
torney General’s letter is as fol
lows:
“The following questions have
been raised about the present state
of the ordinance:
“1. Does the action taken with
reference to Zone 4 affect in any
way other areas of the town here
tofore placed in a business zone,
under the terms of the original
ordinance 7
“2. Would property owners in
Zone 4 be permitted to construct
hotels or motels, or any other use
permitted under RAS or RA6, with
out any set back lines under the
new regulation?
“3. Would any other provisions
of the original Business Zone be
repealed or incorporated in the
Zone 4 without specific mention of
such provisions the final adoption
on October 6?”
“I have examined the original
Zoning Ordinance and the other
attachments enclosed in Mr. Mc-
Cown’s letter, and tiie questions
raised therein are answered .in the
oroder stated:
“1. In my opinion, the proceed
ings with reference to Zone 4 do
not affect other areas of the Town
theretofore placed in or designated
as a business zone under the origi
nal Zoning Ordinance. The pro
ceedings setting up Zone 4 specifi

ALLIGATOR BRIDGE
TO USE 3«/ 2 MILLION
POUNDS OF STEEL
Tremendous Amount of Materials
Required For Structure to Be
Built This Year
A staggering amount of ma
terial will go into the construction
of the Alligator River Bridge, for
which contract was let last week.
Overall, it will cost approximately
000, which is two million
lollars less titan estimates made
two years ago by imported experts.
Here’s what the State Highway
Department says will be used in the
three-mile structure.
' —15.125 yards of concrete.
—3,249.597 pounds of steel.
—513,000 pounds of structural
steel.
—102,523 feet of octagonal pre
stressed concrete pilings.
—And, 55,183 feet of pre-stressed
concrete girders.
The bridge proper was let to con
tract at $2,848,758, and will leave
Tyrrell County at the pesent ferry
dock site.
It will hit Dare County about
2,000 feet south of the ferry dock
on the East side of the River. A
4,000-foot approach will be used to
tie it in with US 64 on the East
Lake end.
At its highest point, it will be
just 20.2 feet off the water. A
swing span sightly west of center
will be manned 24 hours a day to
allow Inland Waterway traffic to
move up and down the river.
The total length of the bridge
will be 14,928 feet, not quite three
miles, but not the longest in the
State. The Albemarle Sound bridge
is the longest, three and a half
miles/
It has been estimated the Alli
gator River bridge will be com
pleted in about two years.
WARREN OFFERS AS
A CANDIDATE FOR
TH E LASTj TIME
In announcing for a Second term
as State Senator from the Second
District this week, Hon. Lindsay C.
Warren says it is the ltest time he
will ever be a candidate or accept
public office. In the 1959 Legis
lature, Mr. Warren wa£ recognized
as tiie leader of the (Senate, and
he had a large following in the
house. He led the sucqessful fight
before the Highway Commission
for free bridges across Alligator
River and Oregon Inlet Contract
for the Alligator River bridge was
let Feb. 3. On petition of the citi
zens of the area, the State High
way Commission have officially
named it the Lindsay Warren
bridge.
Mr. Warren's announcement of
his candidacy is as follows:
“According to the long establish
ed and unofficial agreement exist
ing among the counties of the 2nd.
Senatorial District, Beaufort Coun
ty is entitled to a second term in
the Senate of 1961. Martin County
drops out for a term and the other
Senator goes to one of the smaller
counties. I shall be a candidate for
re-election to the Senaite and have
today filed notice to that effect.
Any session of the General Assem
bly is important but none more
so than the next one. Taxes, pub
lice schools, rural roads, Congres
sional and State Senate reappor
tionment are just a few of the
major issues. North Carolina will
lose a congressman.
This is the last time I shall ever
be a candiate for or accept pub
lic office. I shall forever be grate
ful for the loyal support and con
fidence that has been given me
over the years by my home county
and those of the District. I be
lieve I can again be of service to
our state and section, and will ap
preciate your support.
