BUSINESSMEN ALONG ROUTE 264 PLEASED WITH TRADE TRENDS Tourist Traffic In Summer Season Is Big Support for Hyde, Belhaven Merchants Hyde County businessmen report a slightly heavier than average turnover in most parts of the coun ty this season as many of them hopefully wait soy coastal seiners to start bringing home shrimp. Engelhard merchants report a great deal of traffic on U. S. 264 in both directions. Many of them have noted an increase in their business from this “beach” traffic. Setwice stations operators have been espec ially pleased with the amount of trade coming from highway 264 travelers. Crab fishermen report fairly heavy catches and seafood dealers <ay crabs have been available in heavy supplies all season. Seafood dealers and processors in the area, however, have all expressed hopes of a good shrimp season. Swan Quarter businesses seem to be slightly below par for the county but many people in the area, as in other areas, seem to think the shrimp season will pick up trade and increase turnover. In Belhaven merchants report business as “normal” for this time of year, and seem to have a good turnover in the area. At least two new businesses have been establish ed in this season and others are increasing the size and capacity of their facilities. This seems to indi cate optimistic trends. OUR GREATEST NATURAL RESOURCE A Speech by a Manteo Boy Delivered Before an Audience of 1,600 in A State Speaking Contest Which Won Him First Place By CHARLES EVANS JR. Will vou be ready for the life of 1985? Will it be ready for you? These are two questions of great importance that we all must think about. It is said that a nation, in order to prosper, must fully utilize its natural resources. This certain ly stands true with our own coun try, the United States. If someone were to ask you what is our country’s greatest natural resource, would you give as an answer coal, iron ore, or oil and natural gas? In one sense of the meaning this answer would be correct. But today let’s not think in terms of minerals, but in terms of our nation’s youth. Yes, youth is today our greatest natural re source. For, in youth lie our lead ers and our followers of tomorrow. These include our future business men, teachers, scientists, farmers, and homemakers. How well we youth shall be prepared today will determine the standing and well being of our country tomorrow. Since the beginning of our coun try, young people have played a vital role in the growth and de velopment of the nation and must continue to do so. In 1909 a group of twelve Hertford County boys INTERESTING WATER EVENTS AT POINT HARBOR SATURDAY * I A water ski show billed as “the largest to ever be held in this area" is scheduled for the Ski Lagoon August fifth.

A leader in School and 4-H Work in Dare County, whose inspiring speech is a challenge to today’s youth. CHARLES EVANS, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Evans of Manteo, won the boy’s State Public Speak ing Contest which was held on Tuesday during 4-H Club Week. Charles is a rising Junior at Man teo High School. His 4-H honors have been county Health King for two years, and County Champion in Electricity. He has served as President of his local Club, and as an officer of the County Council. See EVANS, Page Six was organized into a Corn Club for the purpose of working together to improve their farming methods. The girls’ club had its beginning in 1911 in Guilford County when three Tomato Clubs were formed to pro mote improvement in the girls’ work by competition. As these clubs grew, there arose a need for better organization; and, as a result, in 1926 the boys’ agricultural clubs and the girls’ home economics clubs were combined under one head. This was the early stage of the 4-H clubs of today. The four H’s—head, heart, hands, and health—chosen back in 1926 show the wisdom used by the founders of 4-H. Basically, the con ditions under which they were se lected then are the same as today, but there are some changes that need to be made. This is where our hearts, our hands, and our health to meet the situations that trouble us today, retaining, however the basic ideas of our founders. Using our own imagination and initiative we 4-Her’s must work with our original ideas to combat and over come the problems in our communi ties. During the years after 1926, See SPEECH, Page Six mixed doubles in the afternoon show Barefoot skiing and a kite flying skier will be two of the more out standing events presented at the show. In past performances at Ski Lagon, a kite flyer has gone as high as 100 feet.
