NAGS HEAD C OF C
TO SPONSOR DRIVE
FOR "CENTER” FUNDS
WBB Attempt to Raise Balance of
$90,000 December
12-15
Under Nags Head Chamber of
Commerce sponsorship, a one vjeek
drive will be held on the Dare
Beaches, December 11-15, in an ef
fort to complete the raising of an
initial amount necessary for con
struction of the proposed “Conven
tion Center and Museum of the Out
er Banks of North Carolina.”
The project, planned to be built
on the south side of Colington Is
land road, adjacent to the Wright
Brothers-National Memorial reser
vation and close by U.S. Highway
158 is expected to cost approxi
mately $275,000, Completion date
is now expected to be in late 1962
or early 1963, it was announced
today by Mrs. Elizabeth Smith,
secretary of the Nags Head Cham
ber of Commerce.
Under her direction, approximate
ly 100 key members of the chamber
are being contacted through
a unique plan of daily poet card
mailings starting early next week.
Each member will be urged to at
tend a general meeting on Friday,
December 8, at Nags Head to dis
cuss final plans for a kick-off
breakfast in St. Andrews Parish
House on December 11 which will
begin the one week drive.
"Already we have raised through
cash investments or pledges almost
$30,000 of the $90,000 needed in
order to borrow the balance neces
sary for construction,” said Mrs.
Smith.
Practically all of the 100 key
members who will be urged to par
ticipate in the week-long drive De
' comber 11-15 are vacation opera
tor owners of hotels, motels, cot
tage courts or other businesses
which share in Dare’s big tourist in
dustry. They are in business at Kit
ty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags
Head or on Nearby Roanoke Is
land.
The Convention Center project
when completed would put the Dare
Beaches area on a par with any
eastern North Carolina resort for
handling large convention groups.
The main auditorium will be large
enough to handle 850 persons in
mass meetings or more than 500 at
banquets. A feature of the center
may be a special facility where the
population could seek refuge from
nuclear fall-out or during severe
storms, it was stated.
LELAND WISE NAMED DEPUTY
SHERIFF IN DARE CO.
Leland Wise of Stumpy Point,
who for several years has been an
oyster and fish inspector for the
State Department of Conservation
and Development has been employ
ed by the Dare County Sheriff as a
full time deputy. Mr. Wise, a pop
ular Stumpy Point man, was re
cently detached from the Fisheries
Department, following a disagree
ment in policies with the Commis
sioner, Gehrman Holland of More
head City as the result of the re
cent attempt by the Board to insti
tute new conservation measures
based on more vigorous prosecution
of violators of the fishing and
oyster laws.

POSTMASTER IN LONELIEST
COMMUNITY IN CAROLINA
NORRIS W. AUSTIN, who is the
postmaster at Corolla on Currituck
Beach has the distinction of serv
ing the loneliest community on the
Carolina coast, now that its school
is gone, and so many of the fami
lies have moved away. The blood of
Hatteras and Nags Head ancestry
flows deep in Mr. Austin’s veins,
and he loves his community and see
great things in the future for it
especially after a road is built to
connect Nags Head and Virginia
Beach. Mr. Austin grew up in this
community, and he loves it He
first attehded school there, then the
Griggs High School in Popular
Branch, and Kees Coastal business
college in Norfolk. When his father,
Johnny Austin retired early this
year, as postmaster, Norris was ap
pointed. There was no scramble for
the office in Corolla, as only about
a dozen people live in the com
munity. In the famed Whaleshead
club owned by George T. McLean
and others of Portsmouth, a boy’s
academy is conducted in the sum
mer. More and more people each
year are attracted to this quiet
area, which has North Carolina’s
most beautiful beach area. In all,
about 53 people get mail at Corol
la postoffice. Before the Coast
Stations in the area were abandon
ed, and the crew removed from the
light tower. Corolla was a large and
happy community, with a two
teacher school. It has Baptist
church, and services are held there
by visiting preachers.

NO OPPOSITION
TO PHONE RATE
INCREASE VOICED
Work Proceeds on Construction of
New Exchange Building in Man
teo; Dial System Next July.
An increase in phone rates that
will amount to an estimated $87,000
a year, met with no opposition
Tuesday when the request of the
Norfolk & Carolina Telegraph Com
pany was heard by the Utilities
Commission in Raleigh.
A wage increase costing the com
pany $59,000 a year recently ne
gotiated with the union was cited
as a reason for the request. The
company said.it planned to spend
more than one and a half million
dollars in improvements.
One of these improvements is a
dial exchange in Manteo, construc
tion of the building having been
started by the company on the lot
formerly occupied by the J. A.
Evans homeplace. The dial system
will not be joyously received by
about 20 operators now employed
at the Manteo exchange who will be
out of work. However, the dial
system is now used at the Kill
Devil Hills and Buxton exchanges
whose subscribers will not be af
fected by the rate increase.
The annual payroll of the Man
teo exchange is estimated at about
$60,000 a year.
The Edenton Construction Co. is
building the new exchange in Man
teo. President of the Telephone Co.
L. S. Blades Jr. said Wednesday
company plans are to change over
to the diay system July 1,1962. The
project will include construction of
a 1000 ft. microwave tower in Man
teo, a 180 ft. tower in Mamie, where
a new exchange is planned to hand
le the lower Currituck traffic, and
a tower also in/Coinjock and Eliza
beth City.
In Manteo service personnel will
be maintained, and an office with
attendant to handle company busi
ness, also garage and storage space
will be built. With the changeover,
the company will abandon all man
ually operated exchanges in its sys
tem, most of the phones having
been converted to the dial system
long ago. Mr. Blades stated that
his is only one of three com
panies left in North Carolina with
out dial systems, and when the
change is made in July, there will
be only one manually operated ex
change left in North Carolina.
Long distance calls will be hand
led through Elizabeth City after
the changeover in July, Mr. Blades
said.
GERMANS PAY TRIBUTE
TO WW II DEAD SUNDAY
DIED OFF WIMBLE SHOALS
In Hampton, Va., at the National
Cemetery on Sunday, West German
Consul R. W. Weiss of Norfolk
and three West German army of
ficers paid a somber tribute to 55
World War II dead buried there.
Wreaths were placed and a U.S.
Navy bugler sounded taps. Then
the living who paid homage left
the dead in peace after Consul
Weiss said; “It is not my purpose
today to review the causes of the
great conflict w’hich necessitated
these men being called into ser
vice.”
Twenty-nine of the men honored
were drowned in the sinking of the
U-85, first enemy submarine “kill
ed” during the “battle of the At
lantic” when it came close to Amer
ican shores in early 1942.
Already many merchantmen had
been sent to the ocean’s bottom by
enemy subs, before the tide of bat
tie changed on April 14, 1942. It
was on that date that the old
World War I destroyer Roper made
contact with the U-85 between
Wimble Shoals and the outer Dia
mond of Diamond Shoals, off the
North Carolina Outer Banks near
Cape Hatteras.
The U-85 had fired one torpedo
towards the Roper and missed be
fore the destroyer opened fire with
her deck guns on the target which
showed plainly in the light of the
searchlights.
Seriously damaged while trying
to submerge, the Roper’s depth
charge finished off the U-85 and af
ter daylight the bodies of the vic
tims who had lost their lives after
trying to escape.
Although they were “the enemy”
the bodies of the U-85 crew were
taken to Norfolk, and buried with
military honors.
With far less honors, a number
of bodies, mostly gun crewmen of
English or Allied merchant vessels
were recovered along the North
Carolina coast and buried at More
head City, on Cape Hatteras and at
Ocracoke Island where an “English
Cemetery” with the buried bodies of
four members of the crew of HMS
Bedfordshire, lost off the Outer
Banks in May 1942 is visited each

TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS,
SUPPORT, AFFRAY,
OTHER CASES TUES.
Variety Prevails In Recorder's Ses
sion In Dare County
This Week
Chester Lupton Austin of Norfolk
ran into difficulties last week end
while in Dare County and was in
Dare County Recorder’s Court
Tuesday charged with similar of
fenses on both the 17th and 18th.
Highway Patrolman D. S. Skiles of
Hatteras on Friday charged Austin
with driving without a license and
no libility insurance, and on Satur
day the same charges plus another
disturbing the peace were
brought against him. Judge Baum
found him guilty on all charges and
sentenced him to six months on the
road.
An appeal to Superior Court was
made, the cases scheduled for the
May term. Austin has been a fre
quent customer in the Dare courts,
this being the sixth time in three
years, the last visit being in August
1960 when he was found guilty of
being under the influence, resisting
arrest and assault upon an officer.
At that time in addition to fines
imposed he was given a suspended
sentence, conditioned upon non-ap
pearance in the Dare courts on any
criminal charges within two years.
Gethsemane Gallop, Manteo color
ed, had charges dismissed in the
case growing out of another fracas
involving the establishment of
Catherine Latham Smith. It is un
derstood that Gallop was in the
company of several friends on the
night of October 29 seeking the
relaxation and entertainment be
ing offered, when Mrs. Smith ord
ered them out. Gallop moved, but
not quick enough, and suffered
knife injuries. She paid a fine of
$25 and costs of this charge! Officer
D. F. Twyne, making the arrest the
following day, additionally charged
her with being drunk and disorderly
in a public place; another fine and
costs in the same amount was paid
in this case. Gallop was charged
by her with failing to leave when
ordered to do so, but the case was
tossed out. Gallop, however, says
he will move quicker hereafter.
Arthur Robert; Johnson, Manteo
colored, was in court charged by
Brucie Midgett with failure to sup
port their two children, ages 4 and
7, while Johnson was enjoying all
the comforts of home. He was found
guilty and given a sentence of two
years on the roads, suspended on
condition that he pay through the
Clerk of Court office $12.50 per
week for support of the children,
and court costs of $8.70. This was
precipitated by an assault two days
before, when Johnson assaulted
Brucie with a rod and reel, inflict
ing injuries and bruises. He got a
60-day road sentence, suspended on
payment of $35 fine and costs.
Jack Reagie Buff, Norfolk, un
der the influence, requested jury
trial and bond was set at S2OO for
appearance in May Superior Court.
John Marshall Hobgood, USN,
Buxton, charged with operating a
motor vehicle with improper regis
tration plates and no liability in
surance, was found guilty and fined
S2O and costs.
Submissions during the past week
included the following, court costs
being imposed in addition to the
fines imposed:
Jerry Bennett Cox, Suffolk, Va.,
improper lights, $lO.
Major Edward Curies, Kitty
Hawk, speeding. $lO and costs.
Linda .Lawson Harris, Stumpy
Point, driving on wrong side of

MEETING TO PLAN
JAMBOREE CALLED
FOR THIS SUNDAY
Poor Attendance at Nov. 12 Meet
ing Results in Postponement of
Planning Action
All area residents interested in
the advertising and promotion of
the Dare Coast-Outer Banks region
through the Dare Coast Pirates
Jamboree which has officially
kicked-off the vacation season for
the past seven years, are again urg
ed by Herbert VanVleek, 1961 chair
man of the event to attend a meet
ing in The Anchor Club of Caro
linian Hotel at Nags Head next
Sunday (November 26) at 2 o’clock.
VanVleek had called a meeting
for Sunday afternoon November 12,
but due to a variety of other activi
ties such as good fishing and much
autumn vacation patronage on Hat
teras Island, a YDC-meeting in
Raleigh on that week end, etc., only
a handful of people showed up.
“Therefore, we took no definite
action on organization plans for a
Pirates Jamboree in 1962,” said
VanVleek.
“The interest shown by residents
of the county in attendance at the
meeting on Sunday afternoon, may
or may not determine whether we
continue launchnig our Dare Coast
vacation season each year with the
Pirates Jamboree,” he added.
A notice of the second meeting,
the one scheduled for Sunday af
ternoon, November 26, has been
forwarded a list of persons who
have been most active in the spring
festival during former years.
“This does not meap that persons
who do not receive one of the
notices by mail is not urged to at
tend. We are most anxious for all
persons interested in North Caro
lina’s most successful and unique
advertising and promotion festival,
the Dare Coast Pirates Jamboree,
to attend the meeting on Sunday.
WANCHESE MEN APPROVE
MASONIC LODGE MERGER
A proposal for the merger of the
Wanchese Masonic Lodge with the
Manteo Lodge was approved by a
heavy majority Thursday night of
last week, it is reported by lodge
officials, and the final outcome
awaits a vote by the Manteo Lodge
on Monday night of this week.
The plan would take over the
membership into the Manteo Lodge
No. 682, which would be given the
number of the Wanchese Lodge No.
521. The Manteo Lodge has under
construction in Manteo a large mod
em hall, which is a creditable
achievement for a lodge with a
small membership. Merger of the
two lodges would mean a total
membership for the Manteo Lodge
of nearly 500, which is an unusually
large number of members for lodges
in areas of this size. The Manteo
Lodge would have more than
$5,000 a year in membership dues,
plus the worth of the assets of the
Wanchese Lodge, which was found
ed nearly 60 years ago.
$25,000 MAILED BY BANK
IN CHRISTMAS CLUB CHECKS
Approximately $25,000 was mail
ed last week by the Bank of Man
teo in Christmas Club checks. This
amount may have been slightly
more than the previous year, which;
was also in the neighborhood «r
$25,000. Last year’s figure was an
increase of $4,000 over any amount
mailed out before that time. The
bank has announced December 5 as
the starting date for the 1962
Christmas Savings Club, as can be
seen in the advertisement elsewhere
in this issue.
CHANNEL BASS FISHING
HATTERAS While catches
have dropped to some extent, ang
lers fishing the surf of Hatteras
Island are still taking channel bass
with rod and reel. In addition to
channel bass the surf fishing for
speckled trout, flounder and sea
mullet has been fair to good recent
ly depending on weather and surf
conditions.
ATTENTION SPORTSMEN:
COMBINATION SEASON
PREVAILING FOR YOU
A sporting combination offered
on the coast at this season is
hunting and fishing. It is possi
ble for a wildfowl or game hun
ter to get his limit of dudes and
or geese at Bodie Island, Wan
chese or Mattamuskeet, during
the early. morning and then go
fishing during the afternoon in
the Manns Harbor area and get a
good catch of striped bass.
SNOW GEESE ARRIVE
IN LARGE NUMBERS
AT PEA ID. REFUGE
First contingent of the Greater
American Snow Geese, a flock of
35, arrived at Pea Island National
Wildlife Refuge about November 1.
On November 11, following
tradition which is said to have star
ted on Armistice Day, 1918, flocks
of several hundred of the rare
waterfowl arrived.
First count after Novtmber 11
placed the estimated number of
■ the Greater Snows at the refuge
at more than 4,000 and there have
been new arrivals almost daily.
When word got out via press,
radio, television and wire photos
that the geese had arrived bird
watchers from many sections of the
, country headed for the Outer
Banks to observe not only the
■ Greater Snows, but also the Cana
-1 das, the swan, and just about every
: species of duck known to the At
lantic flyways which had also ar-
i rived at the protected feeding area
i of the Pea Island National Wildlife
Refuge.
Most interesting to bird watchers
at this season of the year are the
! Greater Snows, because these un
, usual geese, seeming to know they
, have protection from hunters, be
come almost as gentle as barnyard
fowl.
Already several writers of nation
al magazines and moving picture
makers have visited the area this
year for stories. One of the better
known writers was Van Campen
Heilner, the famous fishing and
; outdoor writer.
The Greater Snows are rare. At
last count there were only about
35,000 known to exist. They are
unlike the Lesser Snows of the
Louisiana marshes and the Pacific.
That species is still very plentiful.
Except for the protection they
have had for many years the
Greater Snows may have become
extinct, not that they are very
platable, but because they pro
vide easy targets for the man in a
hunting blind. But “woe betide” the
man who kills one of the Greater
Snows especially if there is a
game protector in the area.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE TO
TOWN’S STORM DRAINAGE
The recent improvement to the
main storm drainage sewer in Man
teo has resulted in enlarged park
ing space, after filling a ditch
southeast of County Street Mayor
Ras Wescott and his street commit
tee, with the help of Chief of Po
lice Russell Sears, have cleaned out
the old sewer which originates in
the Main Street area, and comes
down beneath the bus station and
the furniture store owned by the
Wescott brothers.
Clearing out boards and other
debris has permitted water to flow
through uninterrupted to Manteo
Bay. The town has installed con
crete sewer pipe, and covered the
ditch to make more parking room,
which is of value to the shopping
district.
IMPORTANT PTA MEETING

GREAT OPPOSITION
AROUSED IN HYDE
OVER BOMB RANGE
Hearing by Armed Services Com
mittee Set for January; Fear
Damage to Wildfowl Interests
A delay in the plans of the Air
Force to establish a bombing range
n Hyde County is expected, as the
Senate Armed Services Committee
rill hold a hearing in January. The
tearing will be held as the result
>f a request from Rep. Herbert C.
3onner, whose First Congressional
district includes Hyde County; and
i request from Sen. Sam J. Ervin,
lr., who himself is a member of
.he Armed Services Committee.
The flights paths of the Air
Force planes would run close to
Lake Mattamuskeet,’and it is fear
ed the noise from the jets would
disturb the thousands of geese and
ducks that migrate to Mattamus
keet each fall. Next to farming,
the largest amount of income in
Hyde is said to derive from the
sportsmen.
The North Carolina General As
sembly, reacting to an earlier con
troversy over a similar Air Force
proposal, adopted a resolution this
year opposing a bombing range
near Mattamuskeet. Gov. Sanford
reportedly has asked the White
House to intercede against the Air
Force plan.
The Air Force said it has search
ed at least five years for a range
suitable for all types of bombing
and strafing practice.
The only existing facility of this
type is at Nellis Air Force Base in
Nevada, and the yearly cost of
sending fliers there from East Coast
bases is estimated at $2 million
greater than that it would cost if
they trained at the proposed Hyde
County range. Also, the Air Force
feels that regular practice at an all
purpose range is necessary for the
best training results.
The Navy has such a range in
Pamlico Sound, where it uses a
sunken LST off Stumpy Point for a
target, and has offered to let the
Air Force use it part time. The
time tiie Navy could spare is not
considered sufficient for Air Force
purposes, however.
Navy jets pass within six miles
or so of the Pea Island Waterfowl
Refuge on the Outer Banks and
have not disturbed the geese, the
Air Force says indicating that a
similarly happy relationship be
tween its pianes and the Matta
muskeet geese can.be expected. The
25-pound practice bombs, are loaded
with the equivalent of little more
than a shotgun .charge, officials
says.
BIG ROCK CATCH ON
TUESDAY BY PARTY OF
ELM CITY SPORTSMEN
S. G. Winstead and party from
Elm City enjoyed fishing in Cretan
Sound Tuesday, the first good day
in several due to unfavorable
weather, their catch of 80 rock
weighing 240 pounds.
Fishing with Capt. Chick Crad
dock, the group trolled near the
Umstead bridge which like Manns
Harbor and Roanoke Island. The
largest fish weighed in at fourteen
pounds, while several others ran
close second in site. The smallest
were around two pounds.
Craddock stated that with moder
ating weather, large schools of the
popular fish would be showing up
in the vicinity of the bridge, and
should provide good sport through
December.
