CIVIL TERM
OF SUPERIOR
" COURT MON.
vJudge Malcolm J. Paul To Pre
side Over Heavily
Mixed Docket
- When the January term of
Superior Court begins next
Monday in Manteo, a heavy-
mixed calendar is scheduled for
'the civil proceedings. Judge
'Malcolm J. Paul of Washington
will preside.
Expected to generate the most
interest are cases involving two
of the older hotel properties at
Nags Head. In a case .set for
Monday morning, Mrs. Palmer
.(Wilma) Midgett is seeking
several thousand dollars from
Martin Kellogg, Jr. and F. T.
Homer, executors of the estate
of the late C. P. Midgett of
Nags Head, who with the late
Mr.s. Daisy Midgett, his wife,
operated the First Colony Inn.
Mrs. Midgett is contending that
the funds are due her for per
forming duties in operation and
management of the hotel, and
for funds expended on behalf of
the hotel properties. In a similar
suit last January, Palmer Mid
gett was awarded approximately
$4400 of the $10,000 sought for
his .services and expenditures.
The ca.se was appealed by the
executors, but the State Su
preme Court affirmed the lower
court's .award.
On the calendar for Wednes
day i.s a ca.se involving Mrs.
Elizabeth Q. Parkerson of Man-
teo-a suit brought by Edwin G.
Moore II of Washing^ton, D. C.,
Avho purchased the Parkerson
Hotel properties more than two
years ago. In this particular
case, Moore is seeking a mone-
tiry settlement with Mrs. Park
erson. Following the sale of tho
hotel to Moore, she was retain-
el to manage the facility for one
.season, and it is alleged by
Moore that certain monies and
other, benefits were diverted
from the hotel proper to Mrs.
Parkerson’s nearby apartments.
Mrs. Parkerson denies this, and

BOMB RANGE
HEARING SET
FOR TUESDAY
Lurgu Dulugution from Southern
Albemorle Expected to
Appear in Protest
The House Armed Seiwices
Committee will hold a hearing
next Tuesday in Washington
D. C., on whether the Air Force
should establish a practice
bombing range in North Caro
lina between Albemarle and
Pamlico sounds.
Rep. Herbert C. Bonner, D-N.
C>., said Monday he expects 60 to
75 persons from the five-county
area to appear in opposition to
the project.
.They fear the aircraft would
frighten waterfowl in the Lake
Phelps area where the range
would be established. The Air
F^rce has not succeeded in
quieting their concern cither
about this or of possible proper
ty damage from sonic booms.
The Air Force wants the
bombing range—^which It would
lease from the owners of Lake
Phelps Farms, Inc., — because
of its convenience for aircraft
baaed at Goldsboro, and Myrtle |
Beach, S. C. Better training op
portunities and savings of se
veral million dollars a year
would result, according to the
Air Force.
' Its planes now go to Ellis Air
Force Base, Nevada, for practice
bombing.
The Armed Services commit
tees of the House and Senate
don't have authority to kill the
proposal for a range, but the
disapproval of either committee
probably would mean its with
drawal.
The committees have until
Jan. 81 to object to the Air
, Force plans. Rep. Bonner said.

Jemborama Meeting Sunday
Lays Groundwork for
April Event
Castro-like beards will be ban
ned, and instead of calling it
a jamboree, the festival which
has officially kicked off the
vacation season the past eight
years on the Dare coast will be
come known as the Pirate Jam-
borama.
The decision to ban ragged
type beards so familiar on the
face of Cuba’s premier was dis
cussed at the Sunday meeting,
and several present thought
that it wa.s beaixls which had
added so much to the annual
kick-off for the Dare Coast va
cation season each year, but a
modification to skimpier beards,
mu.staches or sideburns, was
decided upon.
Instead of one week end in
late April tho new Pirate Jam-
borama will extend over a
period of four week ends with
just about everything the Dare
coast has to offet' in the way
of tourist attractions ranging
from history to sports-fishing,
boating, and family activities to
be featured.
The first week end, April 20,
featuring historical events with
a buccaneer motif will tie in the
Carolina charter tercentenary.
In Raleigh last week Gov. Terry
Sanford officially launched the
teroentenary, and Dare Coast
Jamborama Pirates Julian One-
to and June Scarborough, wear
ing period buccaneer costumes,
participated, with state officials
in colonial toggery and Cher
okee Indians dressed as their
forefathers of three centuries
ago.
Tentative Plans Made
Co-chaii-man Ralph Swain and
Oneto, presided at a Sunday
meeting at Nags Head to lay
plans for the Jamborama.
Swain and Oneto said a new
board of directors will be named
for the 1963 jamborama later
this week. Two of the board
members will be from Hatteias
Island where it is planned to
stage jamborama events on the
second week end, April 27. The
board, composed of 9 persons,
will elect the over-all chairman.
It was announced that the
jambornm.'i will participate in at
least two travel shows and that
during coming months there will
be junkets by the buccaneers to
many cities through the east.

AT NAGS HEAD TO
BE LOWERED SOON
Rooding Condition To Be Re
lieved Also With Storm
Drains
Of interest to citizens of the
Nags Head bench area, is wel
come news of plans by the State
Highway Commission to allevi
ate problems created at Nags
Head following completion of
the By-Pass Highway some two
yetfs ago. Specifically, the new
road which was built at con-
.stderably higher elevation than
that which would provide ample
drain grade, will be reconstruct
ed in portions and additional
storm drains installed at var
ious locations from Jockey
Ridge to Engagement Hill, to
ward the southern section of
the highly-developed resort
area.
Plans are to lower the road
to an elevation of 16 or 18
inches above the general level
of the beach area, which would
permit ocean tides to pass over
the beach and flow into the
sound. The work is contemplated
for this spring, at which time
rebuilding of the road from By-
Pass 168 into Old Nags Head
would also be accomplished.
In a letter to Melvin R. Dan
iels, Dare County Register of
Deeds, Highway Commissioner
J. Gilliam Wood said In part:
“I realize that even this solu
tion has some disadvantages,
but I feel that it is the most
reasonable conclusion and it was
my recommendation to the en
gineering personnel in Raleigh.’’
The highway has been the
subject of heavy criticism by
many residents since its coV
struction. The effect of a high-
level highway w-estward of the
business route has been describ
ed as "that of a dam.’’ Flood
water passing over the beach be
came trapped in the reservoir
east of the by-pass, and re
sulted in terrific losses to busi
ness firms during the Ash
Wednesday storm.
Commissioner Wood is a
summer resident of Nags Head,
and through his familiarity with
the problem and interest in the
area^it is hoped that this proj
ect may receive early attention.

No Charge for Connection
Nags Head Town Board some
sessions ago agreed to par
ticipate in tho Wm. F. Freeman
(engineering) firm’s suggestion
that no charge be made to those
who connect with the town’s
new facility at the time of in
stallation.
This, of course, is based upon
anticipated costs at such time
as installation of the system
might be underway, but such
costs would necessarily increase
following completion of the in
stallation. Charges have been
recommended as follows, for
connections made following in
stallation of the system, as fol
lows; S/4-in. tap—$90;
$140; 1-1/2”—$276; 2”—$680.
Suggested rates for water
consumption are as follows:
first 3000 gallons, the minimum
charge of $3, next 7000 gallons,
76 per 1000; next 10,000 gallons,
.66 per 1000; next 2000 gallons,
