Lodge is liberal with entertain
ment for it's members and visitors
several times a year.
| Most noticeable in Wanchese at
this time are many new homes,
and a larger part of them of brick
construction. There seems to be
continual increase in building OF
the better class. Many retired gov
eminent employees are returning
to build new homes. Three broth
ers, Jimmy, Alex and Crowder
Davis have all built new homes
not far apart since retiring from
the Coast Guard in which they
spent most of their life.
There seems to be something in
the atmosphere of the community
that causes those who once live
there for any considerable length
of time to want to return. Many
of the husbands captured by Wan
cheese girls have come back to
lWanchese to build homes.
Along with many other activi-
ties, Wanchese produces numerous
men with leaning for public of
fee.
For instance the majority of re-
'sponsible county officers today are
either residents or former resi-
dents of Wanchese. Melvin R.
Daniels, Register of Deeds; c. S.
Meekins, Clerk of the Court; w. J.
Baum, Recorders Judge; Willis
Daniels, Tax Supervisor; M. L.
Daniels, Chairman of the ABC
Board. The community has long
had a member of the Welfare
Board, and with few exceptions
has kept a member of the Board
of Commissioners, and Board of
Education for the past so years,
sometimes holding the chairman
ship, and at times holding a ma
jority, though not in recent years.
l. P. Davis, for many years, until
this year Welfare Supt. in Dare,
is a Wanchese native.
i Wanchese has also sent forth
into the world an unusually large
number of men and women to hold
important positions in Government
as well as private employ. Par
ticularly in the field of Navigation,
for the boys of Wanchese soon
learn all about the sea, and rise
rapidly on shipboard away from
home. Many of them are employed
in the business world, or operate
businesses of their own.
Wanchese has many good stores,
and as in the old days, they are
mighty lenient with their credit,
particularly to persons in hard
luck, but under new conditions
they are getting away from the old
custom when one or two merchants
of the place furnished all their
customers with everything they
needed, and never expected settle
ment oftener than once a year.
AS good roads and other new con-
ditions arose, bringing new prob
lens because of more shifts in
population, merchants gradually
learned they must throw some of
the old customs overheard.
Wanchese has never been noted
for lazy people. 1t has always been
a busy community, even in sum-
mertime, which years ago, was
usually time to relax, all along
the coast. Nearly everyone in the
community can qualify as me-
chanic, and anywhere they go can
ifill the bill, either as carpenters,
painters or machinists. Because of
this, just about everyone who
wants to be, is busy, and income
throughout the community is re-
ported as generally good. Many of
the skilled mechanics of Wanchese,
Fronting by the building boom on
the Dare County beaches and 9TH
er nearby construction, are en-
abled to live and work at home.

Brand Recording
Takes Time

EVER SINCE SOME 5000 notices
of re-recording were mailed out to
brand owners on Jan. 1, 1851, mail
by the sackful has been arriving at
the recorder of marks and brand
office at the Livestock commission
at Helena, Ralph Miracle, executive
officer, reports.
Approximately 80 percent of the
notices sent out have already been
returned and are being processed as
rapidly as possible. The law allows
the entire year of 1851 for recording
so that there is plenty of time to
carefully check each brand before
issuing new certificates and to pre-
pare the permanent records which
are being made so that expensive
and inaccurate hand drawing of
brands will be eliminated.
It will be necessary that brand
owners be patient in awaiting return
of their new certificates as it will
take many months to even catch up
with the current influx of re-record-
ings.
Many do not realize that, in order
to have brand records serve their
intended purpose efficiently, it is
necessary to file them in such a
manner that they are accessible by
brand, owners name, certificate
number. An official record must be
kept and notices of all changes and
new recordings must be prepared to
go out to every livestock market
and brand inspector where brand
records are maintained.
Brands are vital personal prop
erty right since they are used to
identify ownership of livestock
valued in the millions of dollars.
For this reason care must be ex-
ercised that the records are kept as
accurately as humanity possible and
that proper ownership is indicated
by the way each brand is recorded.
All bills of sale for livestock carry
ing a recorded brand should be
signed as the brand is recorded in
order to avoid later confusion.
Above all, brands should be placed
on each animal exactly as recorded
in the exact recorded position so
that they can be plainly seen. A
properly burned brand made with a
widefaced iron will show plainly
even when the hair is long and will

: RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 4,-You
know those whereas" that some
times were used as preambles be-
fore the text of acts of the General
Assembly?
They're out-as of the 1852 ses-
sion of the House of Delegates.
That relocation of the
"whereas's" to the limbo of resolu-
tions only is one of the changes
in the style of House bills and
journal entries contained in a 67-
page stylebook announced today
by E. Griffith Dodson, clerk of the
House and keeper of the rolls of
the State. It is the first such book
ever put out by the clerk.
The stylebook also contains some
proposed changes in the rules Of
the House to reduce the size of the
journal and to save time in the
advancement of bills.
Final action on the rule changes
must be taken by the House itself
when it adopts rules for the 1852
session.
Mr.. Dodson said the printed
|stylebook would be distributed to
all those who have a part in draft
ing and otherwise preparing bills
for introduction at the session.

.StyIebook to Aid Virginions
In Drafting of Whereas

To save space in the journal
the stylebook, prepared by Mr.
DodSon. suggests the full title OF
each bill be entered in full only
upon introduction of a House bill
or upon first receipt of a Senate
bill and then again when signed
by the speaker. For the other
times that the bill comes up, il
will be referred to only by number
Mr.. Dodson estimates that will
cut about 10 per cent from the
lineage IN the journal.
To save time, the stylebook sug-
gests a change in the procedure OF
handling bills that come over
from the Senate side of the Legis-
lature to save a day in the passing
process.
To relieve the jam of legisla-
ton near the end Of a session. the
Istylebook suggests that no local
bills be accepted for introduction
after the 4Oth day of the session
That day already is the limit fol
introduction of general bills.
The stylebook also suggests the
ban on consideration of a general
bill by the House of origin within
the last week of a session be ex-
tended to local bills.

Minister Refuses U. 5. Fee
For War Victims Funeral
BY the Associaied Press

WINCHESTER, Va, Sept. A.
DR.. Stephen L. Flickinger, pastor
of Centenary Reformed Church
here, has refused to accept a fee
for conducting burial services for
"a Korean war victim.
The Government allows a
standard $40 fee for the short
graveside service. DR.. Flickinger
said, however, it is the job Of the
Government to save money-not
throw it about recklessly."
He said he thought it was the
height of foolishness" for a min
lister to be paid for conducting a
service for one who gave his life
for his country. Any minister who
accepts such a fee, he asserted,
isn't fit to be a minister"
DR.. Flickinger conducted the
burial service for Capt. Allen K.
Legg. who was killed in action
in Korea on January IA, 1851.

that he has inspected temporary
school buildings being readied for
the opening of the fall term next

late" Mr.. McCrary said. "and are
far short of requirements"
He said he doubts that the
Sleepy Hollow Building for 10th
and 18th graders will be ready.
Mr.. McCrary termed the School
Boards request for a postpone

Personal convenience should be
sacrificed in the interests Of the
