TREE PLANTS FOR KJ). HILLS
i A Zelkova tree sapling was
i planted at Wright Brothers Na-

■ a dozen or more similar plants
were brought to Manteo and turn-
; ed over to Mr. and Mrs. Bell of
I Roanoke Gardens, by Mayor R. H.
. Cook of Kill Devil Hills.
i The Bells will endeavor to re
, fresh the saplings so they can
, be planted at the Memorial later
. this year. The plants were in no
i good condition upon arrival as
, they had been enroute for several
. weeks. |
As matter of fact, the plants
' had been discharged from a Japan
, Air Line freighter in San Fran
. cisco early in December. They had
; been sent by Governor Ryutaro
Azuma of Tokyo to Governor Lu-
. ther Hodges of North Carolina.
’ The original idea was that the
plants would arrive in North Car
olina in time to be officially plant
ed, as a Jap-American friendship
move, on December 17.
Delay in transshipping resulted
in arrival of the Zelkova sapling
at Norfolk via Capital Airlines
' last week end.
‘ Mayor R. H. Cook of Kill Devil
Hills was advised. He in turn con
tacted Raleigh state* officials and
got the money necessary to pay
the cross country air freight on
the trees. On Monday he stated
that he was acting on behalf of
Governor Hodges when he made
arrangements with Memorial Su
perintendent Horace Dough to
make a token planting for public
ity purposes.
BONNER SPEAKS
ACKNOWLEDGING
EVINRUDE AWARD
First District 'Congressman Wins
SI,OOO for Contribution
to Safe Boating
First District Congressman Her
bert C. Bonner was awarded the
Ole Evinrude Award in recogni
tion of his contribution to safe
boating, and made a speech of ac
ceptance on January 9th in New
York City. The award is for SI,OOO
which the Congressman said he
would contribute to educational
causes.
Mr. Bonner, Chairman of the
House Committee on Merchant Ma
rine and Fisheries, made the fol
lowing talk:
Mrs. Bonner and I are most
grateful for this honor which has
been paid to me by receiving the
1961 Ole Evinrude Award. I never
dreamed that 1961 would ever
commence so wonderfully. Maybe
now my better half will forgive me
for all the sleepless nights I caus
ed her back in 1958 when I was
trying to steer the Federal Boat
ing Act of 1958 through the unpre
dictable legislative waters in Wash
ington.
We are also happy to be in New
York again at boat show time to
renew the many fine friendships
we have made in Recreational boat
ing.
As you know, the Ole Evinrude
Award is made annually by the
Evinrude Boating Foundation to an
individual, or group, for his or
their significant contributions to
recreational boating. In receiving
the 1961 Award as an individual,
I feel a very real obligation to say
that my contributions to recrea
tional boating could not have been
as succeessful without the help of
many other persons and groups. *
I want to publicly thank and
pay tribute to the National Asso
ciation of Engine and Boat Manu
facturers, the Outboard Boating
Club, the Council of State Gov
ernments and the U. S. Coast
Guard for the advice, help and as
sistance they provided at all times
to me and my staff.
It should be recalled that our
nationwide study of the regula
tory needs of recreational boating,
and the subsequent legislation,
were the result of the boating in
dustry coming to me. They first
saw the need for such a study,
and J agreed with them. I mention
how we got started on this whole
business because I Want to pay
especial tribute to the man who
first came to see me on this sub
ject, and whose tireless and de-

ESTABLISHMENT DAY OF
CAPE HATTERAS SEASHORE
January 12, 1961 is the Bth anni
versary of the establishment of
Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
On this date in 1953, Conrad L.'
Wirth, Director of the National
Park Service, with the concurrence
of the Fish and Wildlife Service,
recommended acceptance by the
Secreary of the Interior of lands
recently acquired. On the same
day, the Secretary of the Intenor,
Oscar L. Chapman, ordered that
these lands be administered, pro
tected, and developed by the Na
tional Park Service for national
seashore purposes.
The establishment of Cape Hat
teras National Seashore was the
result of some 20. years of strug
gle by public-spirited individuals
and groups. Our national seashore
was established when the Old Do
minion and Avalon foundations, set
up by the children of Andrew Mel
lon, donated funds to match those
allotted by the State of North
Carolina to buy the necessary
land.
The first national seashore is
still the only one of its kind.
There are movements underway,
however, to set aside more beach
es for the use of all the people,
i Congressmen and other individuals
' interested in these proposals some
times visit Cape Hatteras National
Seashore to find at first-hand what
a national seashore is like and
how it works. Stretches of un
spoiled beach within easy reach
of centers of population are be
coming hard to find. We can take
pride in having and preserving
Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
SHAD SHOW UP EARLY
It is sort of an old saying on
the Outer Banks that shad, once
a major fishery of North Carolina
coast waters, did not show up
until St Patrick’s Day. This year
at Hatteras the fish came early.
One commercial crew hauling the
beach near Hatteras village
brought in 60 shad along with a
catch of puppy drum, trout and
striped bass early this week. The
crews operating in surf waters at
this time from Hatteras include
Roy Gray and Bill Foster, also
Herman Willis.

CHARGES BROUGHT
AGAINST FULLER
IN DARE COURT
Wife Alleges Commissioner Took
Over- Community Property
For His Own Use
I
Dare County Commissioner
George Fuller, Jr. with two Ra
leigh people are involved in a law
suit scheduled for hearing in Dare
County next week, wherein Mrs.
Ormond W. Fuller demands an ac
counting and settlement of such
funds as may be due her from
the operation of the large real es
tate and motel business operated
by Mr. Fuller at Cape Hatteras.
Mrs. Fuller, who is represented
by attorneys John H. Hall and
Gerald F. White of Elizabeth City
alleges that she and her husband
entered into an agreement with
Gordon Vaughn and Ellen S.
Vaughn, his wife, of Raleigh,
whereby they formed a part
nership to operate courts, apart
ments and motels, and she alleges
that the other partners, and par
ticularly George R. Fuller, have
since usurped complete control,
and exclusive possession of the
books, records and entire assets
of the partnership and are wrong
fully diverting its assets and earn
ings, and have refused to account
to her for her equal share. She
asks for a full and complete ac
counting and wants a judgement
against them for her share and
the costs of the action.
In Mr. Fuller's answer filed by
his attorney E. J. Wellons of
Smithfield, he denies the allega
tions. Like Mr. Fuller, Mr. Vaughn
has been estranged from his wife,
and they have made a property set
tlement. His answer was filed by
Attorney J. M. Broughton, Jr. of
Raleigh. Mrs. Vaughn alleges she
knows nothing of the claims that
have been made, and is not there
fore properly a party to this suit.
Mr. Vaughn, like Mr. Fuller, both
claim that the property has been
properly managed, and all returns
have gone back into the business.
Mr. Fuller said the contribution of
himself and wife was ten acres
of land which was wasteland and
was of little value. It was stated
that the Vaughns contributed $12,-
000 in cash.
