The fii'st step would be a public hearing, duly adver tised. Then a bond election would be held, in which only resident freeholders would be entitled to participate. Mayor Oneto indicated that if an election carries, construction would begin on the system im mediately. “We might be able to have a system in operation by nert summer,” he said. BONNER BRIDGE BILL SAVING N. C. MONEY SLATED FOR APPROVAL FERRY FLAGS LOWERED Flags on the State Feri-y A. W. Drinkwater were lowered to half-mast on Wednesd.ay in honor of the m.an for whom it was named. The Flag lower ing was ordered by D. W. Pat rick, Ferry Operations Man ager. The Senate Public Work; Committee gave its approval for a $500,090 appropriation to help finance the Oregon Inlet Biidgi on Tue.sday, after a subcommit tee had killed the hill. The measure has pa.ssed the Hou-e and Senate passag* i.s now assured. A supplemental ap propriations bill actually allo cating the money must now clear both chambor.s, but passage considered automatic. Bonner Introduced The legislation was originally introduced by First District Con- gre.ssman Herbert Bonner to re duce the State’s cost in be.ilding the .span to 3.6 million. It ran into trouble on the House floor when a notorious opponent of federal spending. Rep. H. R. Gross, R.-Iowa, ob jected to its passage. It passed easily, however, under a dif ferent parliamentary produre. The bill killed in the Public Land Subcommittee of the Sen ate Public Works Committee because the bridge was already under construction. However, the State’s two Senators, Everett Jordan and Sam Er\'in, Jr., con- \incwi the subcommittee chair man, Sen. Alan Bible, D-Ncv. to reverse his position. The sub committee approved the legisla tion last Friday. A report from the F.B.I. con cerning the embezzlement and false entry charges against John Wright, a former note teller at the Bank of Manteo, has not yet been received by the United States Attorney’s Office in Ra leigh according to U. S. Attorney Robert Cowan, federal attorney for eastern North Carolina. Cowan indicated that he and Weldon A. Hollwell, Asst. U. S. Attorney from Edentoii, will ti-y the case in October 22 at Eliza beth City in Federal District Court, if a grand jury indictment is received. Wright, 33 year old ex-Marino, was arraigned before U. S. Com missioner Thomas Gallop in Elizabeth City last Wednesday and waived a preliminary hear ing on charge.'! connecting him with the making of fraudulent entries in the bank’s accounts to the extent of 16,615 and the embezzlement of $1,100. The alleged false entry and missing money were during a routine check of bank books which is made at the bank every 60 days, according to W. R. Pearce, cashier. The discrepan- cic.s were found by Pearce, Mar vin Weaver, vice-president of Planters Bank in Rocky Mount and otliers, he said. Pearce said lie phoned Frank Harrelson, As sistant Commissioner of Banks in Raleigh immediately after making the discovery. “He must have notifed the F. B. I.,” Pearce stated. No New Development Pearce said that there have been no new developments in the case to his knowledge. “I haven’t seen the F. B. I. since last week,” he said. Lindain Swain, special agent for tlie F. B. I. conducted an investigation on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week at the bank. “He hasn’t returned since last Wednesday morning,” Pearce said. The cashier indicated t)‘at a complete audit of the bank rec ords will be made by employees in the near future. “I don’t know See WRIGHT, Page Three RANGE APPROVAL ALMOST CERTAIN HENDERSON SAYS Formal Request For Bomb Range Pushed By Air Force Towards Congress Rep. David Henderson, D-N. C. stated last Thursday that he is confident congressional ap proval will be obtained for the acquisition of a practice bomb ing range in the Lake Pholp.s area of Washington, Hyde and Tyrrell counties. He also indicated that the Air Force will proceed immediately with a formal request to Con gress for the propetry. Henderson’.s sta’ement follow ed a report submitted last week by a six-man study committee recommending the Lake Phelps site for the range. The commit tee, appointed by Gov. Sanford, was headed by Chester S. Davis, Winston-Salem newspaperman. The committee report laid down regulations, i n c 1 a d i ng what weapons would be u.sed, and how they would be employ ed. The Air Force agreed to the regulations shortly after the committee’s recommendations were made public last Wednes day. The committee report said; "It is our belief that a prac tice bombing range can be c.s- tablished at the Lake Phelps site which, under proper regulations, can be operated without appreci able risk to the waterfowl and wildlife.” The Air Force had previously indicated it would use a non flammable smoke-maker bomb on the range, which would be used by planes from Ssymour Johnson Air Force Base near Goldsboro. Seymour Johnson is a Tactical Air Command base. Maj. Gen. H. H. Moore of Tac tical Command Headquarters, Langley APB, Virginia, an- nouned the Air Force agreement to the committee’s proposed reg ulations. Mattamuskeet Out The committee suggested that another proposed area, at Lake Jlattamuskect, should not be used under any circumstances. Nothing that the Mattamuskeet site was a greater fire danger area, because of thick forests and heavy ground cover, the committee said: “The Mattamu- See RANGE, Page Hiree NURSE ON THE JOB AFTER MARCH STORM BESSIE DRAPER, public health nurse in Dare County for over 21 years, is shown above in the last photograph taken before her recent illness, when she innoculatcd hundreds to prevent an out break of typhoid fever, after the Ash Wednesday Storm.

AN ANGEL OF MERCY ON THE OUTER BANKS By LAWRENCE MADDRY You never forget a per.son like Bessie Draper. . .or you shouldn’t. The best county nurse Dare ever had or is likely to .see is at home now. She hasn’t re covered from the stroke which paralyzed her left side. She lies on the bed at her home in Lasker and puffs the guts out of a cigarette in her own manni.sh way. Bessie Catherine Draper is getting the first rest .she's had in over 21 years of vaccinating, hand-holding, jeep-driving, cx- .aniining, cussing and laughing Iier way into the hearts of the folks on the Outer Banks. She has looked down more throats, jabbed more arms, painted more cuts, spanked more bottoms and raisecl more hell than the ordinary person could do in three lifetimes. Bessie Draper isn’t a nurse; she’s an an institution. Never Said No Bessie Draper doesn’t know the meaning of the word no, When .she first set foot on the Outer Banks, back in 1941, the word just dropped out of her vocabulary. There was never a call from the sick, day or night, that she didn’t answer; never a child in need that she didn’t clothe; never an aged person she didn't comfort and never a time, in 21 years of devoted sei-vice, when she gave one minute’s thought to her own problems or asked for help herself. She isn’t asking now. Never Asked There were few rules when she came to the Banks. Bessie never needed any. They were a hindrance, like frilly drn.sses and skirts. Draper liked 'lenim pants and a shirt because they “worked better.” And nobody worked better than Draper. Back before the roads were paved on the lower Banks, she learned to drive a jeep. On a hundred mornings she has sput tered across the sand towards ■Hatteras, with her needles and vaccine in their little black box, the wind blowing her mop of hair in a thousand directions. Often Bessie was stuck, somewhere down on Hatteras I.s- land, with no help or hope of aid Sec ANGEL, Page Four FIRE DISTRICT IS WORKED FOR BY HATTERASMEN CANCER FIGHTING CRUSADE TO START IN MANTEO OCT. 3 Mrs. Bert Tysen, Field Con sultant for North Carolina Can cer Unit, will be in Manteo Wed nesday, October 3, for crusade kick-off meeting in the Com munity Building at 8 p.m. All members of the Executive Board, Crusade volunteers and any per sons interested in the Fight against Cancer arc invited to attend.

Plans for the creation of a fire district at Hatteras were developed on Wednesday at a meeting of tlie Hatteras Volun teer Fire Department held in the fire hall. The more than 40 per sons attending learned that a fire district, if created, would result in the lowering of insurance rat es, on the average home, from 80 to 54 cents per $100 of valu ation. The fireman voted to circulate n petition roquesting an election on the fire district issue, accord ing to Grady Austin, who presid ed at the morning meeting. He indicated that the proposed dis trict would extend for a radius of three miles from the Hatter as Fire Station. Austin said that signatures of 15% of the registered voters would be required before the petition could lie presented to the Board of Commissioners. “We hope to got a referendum by January,” he said. In the event tliat a district is created, the commissioners would be authorized to levy a tax, not exceeding 15 cents per $100 of valuation. If the district is created, an inspection by North Carolina Fire Insurance Commissioners would be required and approval given to equipment and training techniques, before insurance re ductions would become effective. Rep. M. Keitli Fearing, Jr., Jloncie Daniels, Jr., Democratic nominee to the N. C. House and George Fuller, Dare Commis sioner, were present at the meeting. TOURNEY PLANS NOW COMPLETE BY MARLIN CLUB AT HATTERAS Earl Phillips, president Hat- tcras Marlin Club, stated today that all was in readiness for the club sponsored two day Fun Tournament next week end— October 5, 6. “We will have a minimum of 15 boats and I feel sure there will be 30 to 40 anglers in the competition,” he reported. Among the participating an glers will be Emile DuPont, one of the greatest conservationists for big game fish along the Atlantic Coast. DuPont, who of ten fishes from Hatteras, has caught and released more blue marlin than any other angler. The tourney compeUtion will be open to inshore and offshore anglers if they are members of Hatteras Club or friends of the club. The big finale to the two day classic, first autumn tour ney yet sponsored by HMC, will be the awards dinner at the club's headquarters on Saturday night. BAUM BRIDGE DAY DRAWS OFFICIALS FROM OVER STATE Celebration Chairman Indicates Many Will Attend Oct. Event Invitations to attend the Washington Baum Bridge ded ication ceremonies to be held in Dare on Oct. 12 have already been accepted by several state officials, according to Melvin Daniels, chairman of the bridge celebration. Highway Department Chair man Merrill Evans, Commission er Gilliam Wood and Division Engineer W. N. Spraill have al ready indicated they will be on hand for ceremonies which will offically name the Roanoke Sound Bridge for the former Chairman of the Dai-e County Board of Commissioners. “We also received word from Congressman Bonner that he will make every effort to be here also,” Daniels said. Daniels, chairman of a six man committee appointed by the Dare Board of Commissioners to formulate plans for the Oct. celebration, indicated that his committee will meet this week to decide upon plagues or t:iblets which would designate the bridge’s name. ”We hope to have two bronze plaques affixed to the bridge, one at each end,” he said. Large Crowd Exiiccled A largo crowd is expected for the dedication ceremonies which will feature .an address hy State Sen. Hector McLean of Lumber- ton, son of the Tar Heel gover nor who, with Baum, pioneered for a wooden structure across the sound in 1926. A band concert by the Eliza beth City High School Band and and an outdoor fish fry have al.so been scheduled, Daniel.! .caid. “We are hoping that the local Masonic Lodge will assi-; us with the fish fry, but, if not, ;wc still plan to have an outdoo meal for the crowd we’re expect ing here,” he added. Daniels said a public address .system had already been prom ised to the committee by the See BRIDGE, Page Three PARK EXTENSION IS OPPOSED AT Kim HAWK MEET Properly Owners Assert Park Would Hurt Private Investors A discussion of the proposed extension of Cape Hatteras Na tional Seashore Recreation Area resulted in almost unanimous opposition to the plan at Kitty Hawk Elementary School last Friday night during a meeting which was attended by more than 50 jiroporty owners in the Dare-Curriluck area. A vote taken at the conclu sion of the meeting was unani mously against any extension of the National Park Service’s pro perty. A handfull of spectators refused to vote on the issue. No representative of the Park Service was present at the meet ing, which had been called by H. D. Newbern of Powells Point, a member of the North Carolina Outer Banks Seashore Park Commission and chairman of a committee appointed to .study the feasibility of a park exten sion in the Currituck-Dare area. Newborn, chainnan of the Currituck County Board of Com missioners, has been critic of the park expansion since Aug. 7 when the Currituck Board pass ed a resolution objecting to any park extension into (Currituck County, The rc.solution followed an announcement on July 14 by Sec- rotary Interior Stewart Udall and Governor Terry Sanford that plans were being discussed which would .set up a National Seashore Park extending from the Virginia Line to Cape Look out. Capt. W. H. Lewark and El- wood Parker of Kill Devil Hills, both property owmers at Co rolla, were two of the most outspoken opponents of the ex tension. They claimed that the beach was in good condition and that there was no need for beach erosion control. Carl White, of the White Pines Island Gunning Club, and other Corolla property owner, said few property owners at Corolla wanted the extension or would be willing to sell to the Park Service. Arthur E. Mitchell of South Nags Head declared, “every time the government takes over it hurts tlie private investor.” He See PARK, Page Three JETHRO SPEAKS HIS MIND A VOICE OF DISSENT ON THE OUTER BANKS By LAWRENCE MADDRY There is a veme of diss.ait on the Outer Bunk.-!. Il croaks fiom the throat of a 09 year old N:igs Head fisherman named Jethro Jlidgett who bebeves that “ju.A about everything here on the Banks is being done back wards,” from the location of a highw’ay to erosmn control. Jethro Midgett hold.s no public office and nevoi- has, hut when he speaks, and he does, quite frequently, it is with a con\ic- tion that comes from nearly 60 years of personal acquaintance with the Atlantic, its glut and sock, moods and habits. Despite Jethro’s lack of offici al office, ho IS the unofficial spokesman for scores of old Nags Headers who believe that they know the man and that the man knows the sea. His principal followers belong to the faniilos which first settled at Nags Head Beach in the early 1930s. The ones who came from Elizabeth City, Edenton, Hert ford and down east in North Carolina to build their summer homes, the juniper-«n*nglcd, stilted, gnm gabled, summer cottages which Jonathan Daniels once referred to as “the aristo cracy of the unpainted.” Whether by chance or through Jetliro’.s assistance, the.se cot tages which dot tlie Nags Head shoreline, with only one excep tion, escaped total destruction from a capricious storm-driven Atlantic on March 7—tlie worst storm ever to la.sh the Banks. Through the years, Jethro has also acquired a sizeable fol lowing of “old-timers,” fisher men mostly, but friends who Jethro, with tongue in cheek, calls “non-experts.” (It’s the so- called experts who are turning everything, lie says). Because of the man’s salty personality and often cantankerous candor, he is one of the most-often-quoted characters on the Banks. His words send out ripples, like peb bles in still water, and are re peated, more likely than not, in a kitchen or dock at Hatteras, within 24 hours after ho sputters them. More Flood Than Ripples Lately Jethro’s rhetoric has resembled a flood. It sweep.'' over nearly everything in s.ght but reaches the high-water mark with the N. C. Highway Dep.art- nient and the U. S. Arniv Crops TOURIST BUREAU GETS NEW MAPS AND BROCHURES Archie Burrus Selected As Chairman At Meeting On Wednesday A new’ four color brochure de picting scenery and points of interest on the Dare Coast and a pictorial map of tlie Outer Banks and the North Carolina mainland will be produced for the Dare County Tourist Bureau during this fall. Plans for the publication of 75,000 brochures and maps were developed at n meeting of the bureau on Wcdne.sday moining in the Community Building in Manteo. The Bureau plans to spend approximately $3,000 for the new publications, accoiding to Archie Burrus, newly-elected chairman Burrus indicated that the bro chures will replace the ones printed in 1960. He noted that they will contain more infoi- iiiation about the Dare Coast and more and larger pictures than the 1960 brochure. The pictorial map.s will in dicate every community and show points of local inteivst in each. It will contain new high way data and include such new material a.s the Oregon Inlet Bridge and highway aporoackes to the coast from the mainland. Tliey will be .sent to radio stations, television studios and new media to pulicizc the county and numbers will be sent to local proprietors for distribution to tourists. Aycock Brown, manager and news director, said on Wednes day that he is "especially pleas ed with the approval for the new maps.” “In recent years our gp’cotest number of written and oral requests have been for maps” he said. “Naturally the greatest number of written and oral requests have been for brochures and maps will be av ailable for distribution at the travel shows participated in by the bureau,” he added.

"I told them about it, told them what it would do, but they built it any way. A child would have known better.” “I w rote Governor Hodges, the li i g h w a y commi.'.sioner, and everybody else I could think of and told them that if a road was built where it was we’d have the worst disaster in the history of Nags Head.” “Well, we got it during the Ash Wednesday Storm.” “The road is still four feet above the old road—if it weren’t there the water could go across. If we have another big storm they’ll be the same dcstniction. They might just as well build a big dam right down the middle of the town.” Same Old Story Since the March 7 storm, to Jethro’s mind at leasL'con firm ed his theory about the highway, Jethro says he was hoping that tlie “experts” would begin to listen to people wbo have lived with and know tlie Atlantic “But they haven’t done it," Midgett says, “It’s the same old story,” he mutters. “Now they’ ve pushed the sand into the sea.” Jethro began alerting his Sec MIDGETT, Page Four NEW BUILDING FOR FIRE DEPT. AT NAGS HEAD $12,000 Sfruclure lo Include Space for Offices Now Underway Construction began at Nags Head Tuesday on a $12,000 build ing to house the town’s fire trucks and provide office space for the chief of police and town clerk. Troy Shepherd, Nags Head File Chief stated that the 30 x 65 foot buikling will be located immediately south of the High way Patrol Station at Nags Head between U. S. 158 and 158 By-Pass. The structure is being financ ed by private individuals and will be of plywood construction with an A-frame roof. Shepherd said that the building will be brick veneered when funds be come available. The fire chief indicated that the town plans to have two fire Statons to comply with insur ance rogulalions for Nags Head policy holders. "The station which we were using and which was damaged during the Ash Wcdne.sday Storm was being rented anci is now sold”, he .said, “we want to get this new build ing completed as soon as possi ble and then purchase, rent or build another one in the Whale bone area.” He was un.able to say when the new construction would be completed. Only 1 Fire The Nags Head fireman said that only one fire had been re ported since the March 7 storm. “We have just been lucky and we’re still holding our breaths," he said. Three pieces of fire-fighting equipment were d.unagcd by salt water iluring the storm and required repair. They were a 1,000 gallon tanker and two 300 gallon pum|>er.s. Shepherd indicated that the tanker and one pumper had already been returned from the factory and are operable. He noted that plans for the building, now under construc tion, will be discussed at a meeting of the Nags Head Volunteer Fire Department to be held this week.
