See DI.HES, Page Six WANCHESE MAN NAMED TO HEAD C. G. ENLISTEES Arnold B. Daniels, B. M. l/c. To Head Norfolk District Recruits PORTSMOUTH, Va., Jan. 23, —^Arnold B. Daniels, 26, Boat swain Mate First Class, U. S Coast Guard, of Wanchese, has been named Officer in Charge of the Coast Guard’s Norfolk area Reci-uiting Station. Daniels relieves Chief Engine- man B. B. Gray, USCG, of Avon, who has been designated Officer in Charge of all Fifth Coast Guard District’s Recruiting Stations under the direction of Lieutenant (junior grade) E. M. Custer, Jr., USCG. As Chief Recruiter, Daniels has been given the authority to administer the oath required for enlistment of recruits at his office located at 114 W. Bram- bleton Ave,, Norfolk, Va. Prior to entering the Coast Guard in 1955, he graduated from Manteo High School and received his initial Coast Guard training at Cape May, N. J. He is the son of Mrs. Vivian C. Daniels and the late Spencer Daniels of Wanchese. He is married to the former Imogene Shannon of Manteo. 'They have one child, Kevin age 2, and now reside at 304 George Dr., Nor folk, Va. In one of his first duties at the new post, D.aniels adminis tered the oath required for en listment of recruits to a group of young men from the Fifth District, and included in the group was his nephew, Malcolm D. aniels, Jr. of Wanchese. Also included in the enlistees was Elbert Jarvis of Washington, Beaufort County, Assuming that no r.adic.al change in weather comes about, reports reaching Manteo early Thursday afternoon indicate the closure of the inlet north of Buxton would come late Thur.s- day evening or Friday morning. The movement of citizens on Hatteras Island in.stitutod e.arl- ier this week, which continued for several days, of building a breakwater or barrier of junked autos, has completed halted heavy erosion which was being experienced as the inlet’s gap was filled from the north. At pi-ess time there was still a distance of some 76 to 100 feet open, which was expected to be filled by low water in the after noon, or failing this, the suc ceeding low tide Friday morn ing. There are approximately 100 persons working on the project in addition to crews from the Atkinson Dredging Company’s Hampton, which has been on the job for several weeks. Assi.sting in addition to local citizenry in this week’s efforts, h.ave been State Highway, Coast Guard, N.'ivy and Park .Seivice person nel in the all-out attempt to get the gash closed. The fill material which has been pumped in is to an eleva tion of 12 feet above moan high water, but consido7'able other work is noces.sary to assure per manency of the rebuilt area. An ocean barrier dune' will have to be constructed along the area of fill, and also on both north and south sides, a distance of several thousand feet. The .second dredge which the Army engineers has promised is e.xpccted on the .scene to aid in the final stages of the beach repair opei'ations, and will be retained for some time, engaged in the dune i-ostoration project. It is also a 16-inch dredge, own ed by the Atkinson company, and was cn route to the site on See INLET, Page Six TWO MORE DAYS FOR KDH WATER REGISTRATION RECEIVES CITATION .LEIGH D. HASSELL, Chair- 'man of the Dai'e County ABC I Board, resigned the post this week, in a letter to the Board of Commissioners, which con- ] ti'ols appointment to the ABC I Board. Air. Hassell was appoint ed to the job for three years I December 1958, and in December 1961 was commended for poli cies established, and received another three-year appointment. During Mr. Hassell’s tenure the ABC system has made sub stantial gains in sales, having exp.anded its lines to include better-gi-ade merchandise, which naturally attracts a larger num ber .and better class of custom ers. Profits have increased each year, with more money than evei- being turned over to tlie ' county’s general fund. Present a.ssets of the ABC system now total appi-oximately $150,000, quite a whopping stride fonvai-d from the assets listed when the new board took over some four years ago. A subst.antial portion of this asset figui-e is in ca.sh on hand. Mi’. Hassell being a strong believer in having adequate capital to comfortably operate in a busi-. nesslike manner. It will be interesting to watch closely the ABC account now, and it is the prediction of many obseivers, that attempts will bo made to milk the ABC fund.s, diverting the money to foot the bills incurred with the county’s present free-spending policies. Appointment of a member to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Hassell is expected soon. The other two members of the ABC Board are Robert V. Owens of Manteo and Jaccic Buri-us of Alanns Harbor. ON HATTERAS ISLAND JUNKED CARS GO TO AID INLET-CLOSURE PROJECT $82,415 CONTRACT FOR DUNE WORK AT CAPE POINT Supt. H. Reese Smith of Cape Hatteras National Seashore Rec reational area, has announced the award of a contract to the E V. Williams (Company. Inc. of Nirfolk, for dune rehabilitation work in the Cape Point area of Hatteras Island. ’The project covers the rebuilding of dune structure on the sooth side of Cane Point, for a distance of approximately 7000 feet, using .land from designated borrow area. ’The Virginia firm’s bid was lowest of 10 bids received for work. . An all-out effort was initiated Alonday to halt erosion along the south shoreline of the inlet between Buxton and Avon. Scoi'es of residents from Bux ton, Frisco and Hatteras com munities were bu.sy mo\ing tlie rusty hulks of junked .auto mobiles to the shoreline, lashing tliem together with wii-e cables and pushing them overboard in hopes a breakwater would be created to stop the sand that is being washed away by strong tides. Island citizens were being as sisted by State highway crews, Nation.al Park Service, the Naval facility and the Coast Guard, which furnished equipment sucli as bulldozers and trucks, plus manpower. Atkinson Dredging Company’s big pipeiine dredge “Hampton” lias been making efforts to close the inlet since shortly after the lengthy gaics of late Novem her and cai-ly December a storm that had washed away the tern por.iry bridge after the storm in Maich last year, and widened the inlet from about 750 to 1,500 feet. Considerable progress had been made and only about 300 feet of the Inlet remained open last week when another gale re tarded activities and caused more ero.sion, e.specially on the south shore. With less than 300 feet to go before the inlet is filled the dredging operators are also faced with an ebb and flow of the tide “that resembles a mill race, it is so swift." One of the leading figures in the project to ston erosion Is Sh.nnklin Austin of Hatteras. “We decided on Saturday that the many junked automobiles that h:ive become an eyesore in the various communities might help stop the erosion,” said Austin. “The owners of the junked autos were ready to give same to be used as a potential break water which may stop the ero sion’’ he added. “So, with one of the greatest community efforts I have ever witnessed on Hatteras Island, witli the state and federal gov- onment agencies assisting, we have made a good start on a project that may solve this problem.’’ Approximately 50 old cars were placed Monday. Alost of them came from Buxton. A hundred or more additional auto hulks from Frisco and Hatteras were to be added dur ing the week. MALE BEAUTY CONTEST SET FOR FEB. 14 An entertaining evening is shaping up for spectators who will attend a .show being spon soi'ed on February 14 by the Manteo Rebekali Lodge.

A nominal admission fee will be charged. 125 Expected to (Pualify for Feb. 23 Vote; Challenge Day Feb. 16 When election day comes in Kill Devil Hills on February 28, approximately 125 voters are e.xpected to take part in the water bond referendum. Through last Saturday, 55 persons had been i-ogistered, according to Mrs. Jean Perry Beacham, who is solving as registrar, and with two more registration days — Feb. 2 and 9 — the total is ex pected to more than double. Registration can be mailc at the town hall on those two Satur days. The $765,000 project to pro vide a municipal water supply for the town would, if ap proved, follow closely on the heels of the Nags Head system which voters approved last month. Funds would bo provided through the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency in Washington. Nags Head offi cials are working out detailed plans with the Wm. Freeman engineering firm preparatory to awarding contract for construc tion, which is expected about the first of April. The same engineering firm is handling the Kill Devil Hills project, and its propo.sals are as follows; The installation of 5 wells, 35 feet deep, in the vicinity of the “Fresh Pond” property, on the north side, a treatment plant whore iron would be re moved and chlorine added. From there it would be pump ed to a ground storage tank with a capacity of 200,000 gal lons, and further to an elevated storage aiul pressure-providing tank of like capacity.

The price of assault on one’s wife came pretty heavy in Dare Recorder's Court this week, as Judge James Vannote handed out a six montlis road sentence for the offense.
