SUPT. OF DARE SCHOOLS
IS TAR HEEL OF WEEK
Mary Langston Evans Receives Recog
nition Asa Leader in Education
In One of N. C.’s Remoote Areas
Mary Langston Evans, Su
perintendent of Dare County
Schools was chosen last Sunday as
Tar Heel of the Week, by the
News and Observer. The story
written by Jane Hall gives
this energetic leader in the field
of education high praise for her
ability and accomplishments. Be
low is a small excerpt from Miss
Hall’s story:
Since 1951," when she became
■superintendent, Mary Evans has
presided at a program of consoli
dation that has seen the absorp
tion of 11 schools—many of them
one-teacher schools into five
moderrn school plants.
As superintendent, Mrs. Evans
directs the activities of 1,200 stu
dents and 44 faculty members.
Still Work To Do
“Our ‘school-building program is
up-to-date and now,” she said,
“we’re working to improve our
instructional program. Vocational
home economics was added in
Manteo High School this year and
gradually will be included in the
curriculum, of the other schools.
In September, we are planning to
add an industrial arts course in
Manteo High School.
“We’ve also begun a general
testing program—testing mental
ability and achievement al
though prior to this we tested
either specific children or gave
tests in specific subjects. The re
sults of testing are meaningless,”
she commented, “unless teacher
judgment is included.
“Dare County’s remoteness has,
at times, made it difficult to ob
tain teaching personnel. For in
stance, this year is the first in
which we have had a sufficient
number of science teachers. As a
result, we have been able to take
advantage of the National Defense
Education Act in getting needed
science equipment.”
Because Dare County lies on
the North Carolina coast and em
braces the State’s outermost
reaches, the Outer Banks, a su
perintendent has to keep always
in mind certain geographical pe
culiarities that affect the opera
tion of the county schools.

DARE COUNTY MET
BLOOD QUOTA ON
FIRST TRY OUT
Dare County now has Red Cross
sponsorship for its needs for blood
under the Red Cross Blood Pro

released by Floyd B. Taylor,

an assigned quotas of 160 pints of
blood. On May 19, the Bloodmobile
set up at Cape Hatteras High

possible for its residents to do
nate blood in the regular pro
gram of their own County.
Tommie L. Donaldson, Coast
Guardsman, of Ocracoke Island
was first donor, followed by Chris
topher Gaskill, also of Ocracoke, a
National Park Service employee. A
total of 62 donations were re
ceived.
On May 20 the Bloodmobile
moved to Manteo High School and
an additional 113 pints of blood
were received, making the total do
nations 175, or 15 over the 160
quota requirement, jtn additional
50 persons presented themselves to
donate blood but were rejected, in
the course of the two-day visit.
Red Cross nurses and technicians
who accompanied the Bloodmobile
from its base in Norfolk included:
Miss Margaret Cordovana, Chief
Nurse, and nurses: Mrs. Margaret
Lilly; Mrs. Shirley Bright; Mrs.
Peggy Campastro; and Miss Alice
Selby; and Technicians Hobart
Houck and William Kirk. Local

A RICHMOND MAN
GETS BLUE MARLIN
OFF HATTERAS
Joseph T. Heistand of Rich
mond, who year before last caught
a 580 pound blue marlin off Hat
teras that became a runnerup for
the world’s record in 1958, caught
another whopper on Wednesday.
Skipping bait from Albatross II
in Ernal Foster’s fleet Heistand
boated a 410 blue marlin, the larg
est of the species taken so far this
season. His fish measured 10 foot
and 10 inches 'in length and 57
inches around the girth. His
skipper was Capt. Bill Foster.
Largest of the season to date
was a 386 pounder landed on May
20 by John Wood of Princess Anne,
Va. He was exploiting waters of
the Gulf Stream southeast of Dia
mond Lightship when he made the
catch. The big fish measured 11
foot and four inches in length, 52
inches around the girth and 46
inches across the tail. It took Wood
only 19 minutes to boat the fish
after it had hit the bait. He used
39 thread line on a 12/0 hook to
make the catch. Wood was fish
ing from his new cruiser Olive E.
Catches of blue marlin to date
are trailing last season’s May take
primarily because of sea conditions.
Last year conditions were perfect
but choppy waters and windy wea
ther have kept many billfishers in
port along the Outer Banks this
year.

EXCELLENT CATCHES OF
LARGE MOUTH BASS MADE
MANTEO.—Late Spring casting
for large mouth bass has been up
to par in the well stocked lakes,
canals, and fresh water bays of the
Dare Coast-Outer Banks area.
Two of the outstanding catches
made this year in late May was an
eight-pounder landed by W. T. Ma
son, of Greensboro, in Kitty Hawk
Bay. He was using a Johnson
spook with pork rind; from the
same waters a few days earlier A.
D. Redwine of Atlanta, Ga., reeled
in a six and one quarter pounder.
He was also using a Johnson spoon
lure. Mason of Greensboro and his
fishing companion Fred Eichhorn,
caught 52 fish weighing 72 pounds
from Kitty Hawk Bay in three
days. They were guided by James
Beasley of Colington.
Many anglers fishing the fresh
waters of East and South Lake on
the Dare mainland near Manns
Harbor have gotten their limits
without difficulty during the past
week.
“In additon to large mouth bare,
they have been catching quantities
of bream, perch and other species,"
reported Roy Midgett * Manns
Harbor guide.
The fish from the mainland lakes
have been taken with a variety of
lures ranging from spoons and
plugs to popping bugs.

ADDRESSED TO BOX 428
MANTEO, N. C.
NOT TO INDIVIDUALS
SIXTEEN PAGES THIS WEEK
It is beginning to look as if the
biggest vote yet cast in county
and state will turn out in the
Primary, Saturday, the 28th.
There are four candidates running
for Governor; there are contests
for U. S. Senator, State Senator,
Congressman and Representative.
Most county offices up for elec
tion this year are also being con
-1 tested.
Chief of interest in the state
is the Governor’s race. Terry San
ford, John D. Larkins, Malcolm
Seawell and I. Beverly Lake are
i waging vigorous campaigns. A lot
lof money is being spent this year.
U. S. Senator B. Everett Jordan
is opposed by Addison Hewlett of
Wilmington. For the tvro places
in the State Senate from the Sec
ond District there are three can
didates. Senator Lindsay C. War
ren of Washington, who will nat
urally lead the ticket, and Dick
O’Neal of New Holland and P. D.
Midgett, Jr. of Engelhard. Mr.
O’Neal has served two terms as
Hyde’s representative. The con
test in this race is considered as
who’ll win second place. Mr.
Midgett, being widely related in
Dare County, having been reared
, at Wanchese, has a strong follow
ing in Dare.
One of the most hotly contest
ed races is that of Walter Jones
of Farmville who hopes to unseat
Congressman Herbert Bonner.
Jones appears to be well-heeled
with money, and has maintained
an intensive campaign. Bonner’s
friends do not believe Jones will
be successful, and some Pitt
County leaders say he will lose
his own county. There are numer
. ous odd angles to the support
. that has developed for Jones. For
' instance, in a county for which
, Bonner has done so much, those
in charge of the courthouse have
so little regard for county prop
erty in their care, they have plas
tered the front with Jones signs.
A further comment is the habit
of some of Jones’ supporters of
tearing down Bonner signs when
put up on the streets.
Dare County observers believe
Bonner will carry 80 per cent of
the county’s vote. Senator Everett
Jordan is considered an easy win
ner in the county as well as State.
In the Governor’s race Terry San
ford and John D. Larkins, Jr. are
names most mentioned on the lo
cal scene with comparatively lit
tle interest here in Malcolm Sea
well and Dr. Lake. However, some
momentum has been gained by
Mayor R. H. Cook of Kill Devil
Hills in stirring up support for
Seawell, for Mr. Cook has can
vassed Dare and other counties.
A campaign which came as a
surprise is the contest in which
M. K. Fearing, Jr. attempts to
unseat veteran Representative R.
Bruce Etheridge. Working through
members of the Young Decocratic
organization, Mr. Fearing pins
much hope on their support. Both
men have waged a thorough cam
paign.
A campaign has been develop
ing on the Board of Commission
ers, with all members being op
posed. Chief effort is directed
toward getting C. C. Duvall back
on the Board, and also Lawrence
Swain of Manteo. In this align
ment, appears David Stick leading
the campaign with a radio and
pamphlet barrage. Stick has been
aligned with this group with the
Sheriff’s office as the center for
a long time. Mr. Duvall served on
the Board from 1948 to 1958,
eight years as chairman. Mr.
Swain served eight years on the
board. Resentment rose to a high
pitch two years ago following a
period of wasteful spending, neg
lect in collecting taxes, and em
ployment of an imported firm of
tax appraisers. Following this tax
appraisal, investors got sore with
the county, building slowed up on
the beaches, and the loss to the
people has been tremendous, in
addition to $22,000 paid out for
the tax appraisal job. It would
cost another $22,000 to get it
straightened out, and tax values
ate widely inequitable and out of
line. The Board had also spent
$3,000 to hold an election for a
vote on building a jail. The vote
went three to one against it, but
their wishes were disregarded.
In the interest of the cam
i paign of Duvall, Swain and Stick,
a lot of promises are being made,
particularly about building har
bors for small boats. Ona promise
I has concerned building a $26,080
