The only double winner in the Saturday race.s, Griffin, compet ed in the Jolly Boat Nationals in Jlontreal, Canada only two weeks before entering the Caro linian Hotel-sponsored event. Other first place trophy win ners were Edward W.

News of the invitation to hold the event in Dare County waters was released during trophy pre sentation ceremonies at The Carolinian Hotel on Sunday when Dr. Lloyd Griffin, Eliza- betli City, commodore of tlie Outer Banks Sailing Assn., an nounced that the Assn, had been asked to act as hosts by officials • of Jolly Boat Fleet Nino. Griffin, who recently competed in the 19G2 Championship in 'Aloiitreal, Canada, noted that he was approached about the pos sibility of conducting the event near Nags Head during the races held there earlier this month. “Fleet Nine is the host fleet this year and tlie success of tlie Fourth Annual Regatta here thii week end convinced their of ficials tliat we wore the logical spot for the championships,” he said. Over 20 Knots Jolly Boats are considered by many to be the fastest one-de clas.sos which competed in the Saturday and Sunday Races were: Jolly Class-Beans Weath erly, Elizabeth City, aboaid the Weatherly, and J. A. Wright, Newpoi't News, who skippered the Ding How for the Hampton Yacht Club Hampton Class-Dick Towmlcy, Norfolk, aboard the Sea Witch and H. B. Jlarshall aboard the Easting Downs II.

The Regatta Races, wliich in pi-cvious years had been staged in Roanoke Sound, were staged in Croatan Sound for the first time this year Edward Walcott, an official for Norfolk Yacht and Country Club, de.scribed .sailing conditions during the two-day racing event as “ide.al.” Ho noted that efforts arc being made to stage the Hamp ton Nationals, a racing event for boats in the Hampton Class, at the Roanoke Sound site in 1903. Approximately 15 boats weto entered last week end in the Fourth Annual, eonsidorably le.ss than expected. Racing officials at the Carolinian attributed the descrcascd attendance to trop ical storm Celia warnings. Weather Perfect Weather conditions for the race were perfect despite over cast skies which prevailed over tlie week end. A brisk north- ca.st wind, which blew 3 to 12 knots of sheet-filling air into the sails on Croatan, provided plenty of excitement for the participants and a sizeable crowd of .spectators, as the boats swept along a triangular tlircc- See PLAGUE, Page Three DISTRICT GOVERNOR TO VISIT MANTEO ROTARIANS DEAD MAN'S BODY FOUND OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY A,M.

Bufler Die in Tragedy OCRACOKE, Sept. 17 — Groat consternation was caused here at Ocracoke over the tragic boat accident which took the lives of two sports fishermen five miles west of Ocracoke in Pamlico Sound. The Washington boat was one of several fishing on Saturday out of Ocracoke harbor. Dr. John Cotton Tayloe, phy sician and friend to many resi dents here, and William F. But ler were drowned; V. P. Brinson, owner of the boat, was rescued by another Washington boat in tlie area. 'Tlie body of Dr. Tayloe was found lute Saturday after noon and taken by Coast Guard boat .across Hattoros Inlet and by ambulance to Washington, N. C., but in spite of intensive searching by the local Coast Guard and private boats here, the body of William F. Butler was not found, and the search was discontinued Sunday night. This tragedy served to empha size the oft-repeated statements of local boatmen that Pamlico Sound is a dangerous body of water. From all appearances in the harbor and close in to the Island it was not rough water on Saturday, but a sudden shift of winds and increasing waves five miles off-shorn at the old dredge is what caused the out board motor to capsize. Brinson was found clinging to the over turned boat and was brought in by the other Washington boat.

Dare Power Boat Association Gets Yearly Lease For Harbor Development The Manteo Town Board has leased a waterfront lot to the Dare Power Boat Association to use for the development of a town dock. The lease was given to mem bers of the .Association at n meeting held in the M-intoo Town Hal] on Monday, wlien mayor G. T. Westcott and town clerk Juanita Parker signed the yearly lease which will be-renew- able at the option of either the board or the Association. Mayor Westcott indicated, after the meeting, that the lease will carry a charge of one dollar per year, which is payable to the town, in addition to the regular charges for lights and water. It also provides that the town may reclaim the property if it is not maintained and contains a provision whereby the im provements made upon the pro perty will belong to the town in the event the lot is reclaimed by the lease’s termination. No member of the Associa tion, he said, will profit by the venture and anticipated profits are expected to be used for im provements at the dock, West cott explained. Near Davis Store The lot, a plot 122 feet by 304 feet is located at the corner of North Water and Main Streets in downtown Manteo. It was 01‘dercd transferred to the As sociation as early as 1967 by the Town Board, but the contract was not drawn until recently, according to the town clerk. Only member failing to ap prove the lease was S. L. Bar nett, newly appointed water commissioner, who indicated that he failed to vote on the i.s- suc as he was not on the board in 1957 when the contract ijvas ordered. Improvements Already Made Commodore Arnold Tolson, Jack Wilson and Vernon Davis were present at the Mond.ay meeting to sign the lease in be half of the Association. The Power Boat Club has alreadv added dock facilities for 26 small boats and hopes to add additional facilities. Tolson explained that a chib house will be placed near the dock soon and noted that the As sociation plans to light the dock areas by next summer. Sick Leave O.

BENEFITS As the result of the stroke which made a comiilete invalid of Nurse Bessie Draper several months ago, numerous people who for many years have paid fees upon the death of members, stand a chance of losing all they have paid, and the opportunity of future death benefits from the Blount Olivet Church Bene fit Association. After a long lapse of time, Mrs. Lyna Har bour has gotten together some of the records, and is trying to piece together a set of books. Miss Draper is not able to give any information, and Mr.s. Har bour is going to have to depend on those who were memhei-s to come forward and fumisli their names and such records as they have. If sufficient information can be obtained, the “Burial As sociation” may be restored. Since Miss Draper’s attack, several deaths have occurred of people thought to have been members of the Association but no collec tions have been made. Dr. W. W Johnston, who was president of the Association, said as soon ns he can get a list of the memheis, he will c.all a meeting for the transaction of business.

Questionnaires Used Tire survey was an attempt to collect, through the use of ques tionnaires, information from de parting tourists concerning their likes, dislikes and activities. The project was initiated at the re quest of the Dare County Board of Commissionci’s.

The report noted lh:it: “The L.ike Mattamuskeet site, unlike the site proposed for the Phclps-Pungo Lakes area, is hlankotod in fore.st and lieavy ground cover. The danger of forest fires i.s, therefore, con siderably more of a factor on this site.” The committee said that “per haps more important is the fact that the .Matlanuiskeet refuge i.s a .symbol in tlie minds of the nation's sportsim ii. Tlic very idea of locating a training range hard against this refuge will, in our opinion, trigger an emotional reaction which very well could have measurable effects on Hyde Countjs liuntcr orientated econ omy.” Report In Two Weeks The committee held its last meeting on Monday at Rock / Mount. Davis told newspapfr- nicn then that the report would he turned over to the governor within two weeks. The report was completed in i draft form after the coniniittee licld se\eral hoar.ngs in Kasteni North Carolina on the contro versial proiioscd ranges. The fight against Air Force efforts to locale at either of the proposed sites has been led by Fii-sl District Congressman Her bert Bonner and State Sen P. 1). Midgett. Both have insisted that a range at either location would butt geese and duck pop ulations that fly in the area. West Va. Concerned Bombing range jilans have met stiff opposition from offi cials of West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co. W .1. Crumpacker, manager of North Carolna woodlands for West Va. has been the most out.spokon critic of Air Force efforts to locate in either Hyde, Tyrrell or Wash ington Counties. Crumpacker has cmpliasized the economic loss to the state if his firm is forced to curtail its operation becuuse of fire haz ards created by the range. Tlic manager .staled at a West Vn.- hosted meeting for eastern North Carolina newsmen in Nags Head last Tuesday that “fire could seriously curtail bur activities and conccive.ably have an adverse effect on the econo my of this state.” He noted that the firm had already lost 140,000 acres of timber from forest fires since 1052.
