birthday during August. They
were Wilber E. McKinn and Mil-
ton Tilton Pledger, both of En
gelhard and Jessie Mackey and

Lake Landing.
I The Hyde draft office has been
notified to remind registrants 18

quired to have draft board ap
proval for changing jobs. If they

I There won’t be any scarcity of
good food opposite Fort Raleigh
gates wheh the pageant opens
next summer, according to Earl
Mann of Manteo. Mr. Mann has
thought so much of the idea that
he has invested $5,000 in the old
run dow nCoIonist Inn, sold his
long net rig in the thick of
i croaker seaso, and says he is go
ing to put the inn into shape for
: a first class restaurant. I
[ Mr. Mann, who is well known
in this section, formerly kept
I Duck Island and Bodie Island
SOON , Clubs. He has now undertaken a'
task which will call for a lot of
work, but which should prove a
money-maker if pageant crowds
come back as they did before the
war. Mr. Mann will operate the
. year round, and expects to add
] rooms to the building. i
Another camporee for Boy
Scouts of the Albemarle district
will be held on the beach at Kill
Devil Hills on Saturday and
■Sunday, September 15 and 16.
This time the scouts will come
not only from the East Albemarle
district, but frO'm the West Al
bemarle district as well. In fact,
the request ca'me from the boys
of the western district, which
comprises the counties of Per-
quimjans, Chowan and Gates, who
wanted to be let in on the fun the
boys from the eastern counties
of Dare, Currituck, iCamden and
Pasquotank enjoyed on August 11
and 12. At that time about 100
scouts joined in the camporee,
and this time an even larger
rium'ber is to be expected.
'Scoutmaster Dan Cannady of
Manteo will again 'he in charge
of the camporee, and officials of
the district will also be present.
Among those expected are Field
Scout Excutive Peter Carlton of
Elizabeth City; H. Travis Thomp
son of Norfolk, scout executive
of the Tidewater council; Nor
man Shannonhouse of Elizabeth
City, commissioner of the East
Albemarle district; R. P. Baer,
of Edenton, commissioner of the
West Albemarle district, and oth
ers.
An interesting program of ac
tivities has been planned, details
to be announced later.
The end of the war has 'brought
changes at the Hyde Co-unty CXPA
office including a cut in the staff,
change in office hours and change
in the day n't the weekly board
meeting.
Two clerks have 'been taken
from the staff. They are Mrs. Ol
ive 'Cahoon of the Swan Quarter
office and Mrs. Isabell Stuber of
the Ocracoke office. This leaves
only two paid clerks on the QPA
payroll in Hyde. They are Mrs.
Dorothy Cahoon, chief clerk, and
Mrs. Ina Jones, assistant.
The OPA board will meet on
Thursday of each week rather
than Friday, which has been the
meeting day since the board was
organized. The office now oper
ates on the 40 hour week basis
and remains closed each Satur
day. Those having business with
the office should arrange to call

HATTERAS MAN COMING
BACK TO UNITED ST.4TES
Lester B. Bai'.ance, coxswain,
U'SN, Hatteras, N. C., is coming
back to the United States.
He’s a member of the USS
Phoenix crew which is returning
home for overhaul and to give
leaves to the crew.
The Phoenix escaped damage
in the Pearl Harbor attack, then
fought through the New Guinea,
New ritain and New Georgia
campaigns.
In the battle of Suriago Straits
she was the closest heavy ship to
the Jap fleet trying io steam
through the passage and she hot it
out with the leading Jap battle
ship—without getting a scratch.
At Leyte Gulf one of o-ur destroy
ers went down and her torpedoes
were released accidntaliy. Two
passed aheadVjf the Phoenix, two
astern—rand none in the middle.
Luckiest of all—after two years
in the Southwest Pacific, the
Phoenix was en route home when
peace was declared.
Engelhard expects quite a num
ber of new homes to be built dur
ing the post war years, providing
real estate prices remain reason-
' able. Already a number of reality
I transfers involves sites where
I home will be built.
I Tim Williams has purchased a
lot from B. C. Spencer next to j
jthe Methodist church and plans |
: to build before long. S. S. Neal is:
I planning to construct a home on ■
a site next to Jabin Berry’s resi- i
dence. Nat Gibbs has purchased
the Lonnie McKinney home. Oth- :
er transfers are said to be in the
offing. I
Besides new homes, new busi-:
ness houses are expected to go
up. Claud Burrus of Middletown
has just purchased the Sam Spen
cer property just west of Roy
Cox’s store and expects some
business development. S. S. Neal
has recently completely a new
oyster house on his waterfront,
site east of the Engelhard cafe,
' and R. L. Gibbs who has just en
larged one of his large warehouse
buildings, is planning the con-
I struction of a cotton gin. Gilbert
^ Gibbs has completed the interior
of the large annex on his store
building which will house at least
two new enterprises. |
Leon Stout of Delhi, La., has
been elected principal of the
Hatteras school, according to an
nouncement this week by Coun
ty Superintendent R. I. Leake.
Other teachers not previously an
nounced for the Hatteras school
are Mrs. Wanda Clarke and Mrs.
Mary Styron McCarthy.
‘Mrs. O. J. Jones of Manteo has
agreed to act as principal of the
Manns 'Harbor school until a
principal can be secured for the
year.
At Buxton Mrs. Ormond White
Fuller will act as substitute
teacher for a time. Mrs. Mary
Scarborough Baum will substi
tute at Kitty Hawk.
iMiss Esther Wynee of Norfolk
has been secured to fill the va
cancy in the Manteo faculty, and
Mrs. Mary S. Selby of Engelhard
to fill the vacancy in the gram
mar school at Stumpy Point. J.
T. Co'bb will be the principal of
the Rodanthe school, and C. A.
Midgett a member of the Ro
danthe faculty.
All schools in the county will
open Thursday, September 13, at
9:45.
Yes, sir, fishing has been good
in Dare County all summer. Long
net fishermen have found more
croakers than they have ever
known before, and have sold
them for 8 to 15 cents a pound.
Before the war they would not
have bro-ught more than half a
cent a pound, consequently fish
ermen didn’t go out, so there
were times when there might
have been croakers, but it was
miknown. But the shortage of
•meat and the plentiful of mon
ey amon gthe working people in
these 'war times have made high
prices.
We read many yarns about
croaker money, about Ed Ly
man Hooper’s $500 pedigreed
hunting dog, and somebody
else’s discarded race horse bought
in a moment of properous hilar
ity, but here is a true story.
One day recently Ernest Eth
eridge and his crew loaded their
net off Wanchese, and filled the
boat until she would carry no
more. They were up against it so
far as getting the net aboard was
concerned, for they had no room
for it, was it not already part
ly full of fish.
At this time Hatton H. Mid
gett of Manteo came on the scene.
Etheridge tells Midgett if he will
clean out his net, he can have
the fish. So when Midgett takes
the balance of the fish into Man
teo to sell, he gets the neat little
sum of $1,300. Pretty nice little
present.
iC. B. Daniels of Wanchese is
reported to have sold a single
catch of croakers for $5,000. Many
other fishermen are said to have
sold for $30,000 during the season-
Nobody begrudges the hard
working fishermen their good
luck. They have gone for years
without a break. They have been
on tough luck a'long time. Most
of them will use their money to
good advantage by building new
and better homes, giving their
families more of the comforts of
life.
A hearing set for Tuesday,
Septem'ber 11, will be held in the-
matter of the death of Miss An
nie Montague, 18 year old Curri
tuck County girl, who was fatally
injured Wednesday night near
Kill Devil Hills when the truck
in which she was riding crashed
into a truck park-ed on the beach
road.
George L. Mann, young boy
friend of Miss Montague who was
driving the pick-up truck owned
by Ras Wescott of Manteo, and
Shanklin Austin of Hatteras are
under arrest to be heard before
Judge W. F. Baum. It is alleged
that the young man, who is em
ployed by Mr. Westcott, was
driving at a speed of 60 ’ to 70
miles an hour. The truck on the
road was owned by Mr. Austin
of Hatteras and had run out of
gas. iMr. Austin had left Wilton
Willis of Hatteras to watch the
truck, and had walked back to a
filling station for gas. '
IMiss Montague was the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Mon
tague of Powwels Point, and has-'
been working this summer at the'
Wilbur Wright Hotel at Kill De
vil Hills. Her death occurred in.
Currituck County while she was
being taken toward a hospital by
an ambulance from the Manteo
Naval Air Station.
It was alleged the truck on the
road was without lights. The
night was misty, and visibility
not good. This makes three deaths
on the beach road this summer,
two white on one Negro. Due to
its long straight distance, the
temptation .for speed, the desire
to hug the center of the road for
fear of getting into the sand at
the sides, it has been the scene of
many deaths. It is becoming im
perative that a strong patrol be
maintained on the road for the
safety of the general public.
