TRIAL

the date named in the abandon
ment-non-support charge, Mrs.
Haskell was too overweight to
answer clearly.
At this point, Mr.. Kellogg ask
ed the defendants lawyer, Wal
lace McCown, to cross examine.
Cross examination was brief in
the extreme. Mr.. McCown asked,
''Did you receive payment from
Mr.. Haskell on the 10Th day of
February?" Mrs. Haskell at once
became so overweight that, after
Judge BaNm tried to calm the
witness by pointing out to her
that she must answer the ques-
tions put 10 her in order for her
case to receive trial, Mr.. Kellogg
asked for the nol-pros Gin order to
protect the plaintiffs interest"
This means that the case may
be brought to trial again if the
plaintiff should, in the future, de-
sire it.
Other Cases
James Victor Manley, 17-year-
cid serviceman stationed at Roa-
noke Marshes Coast Guard Sta
ton, pleaded guilty to a complaint
filed by Patrolman W. T. Haw-
kins which charged him with oper-
ating a motor vehicle with, i'm
proper brakes, improper muller
and without registration plates.
Judge Baum sentenced Manley to
80 days on the roads, suspended
upon payment of $35 and the
costs of court. - .,-v.,,s.>
Caleb Benjamin Parker was
found guilty of being drunk and
disorderly on the streets and fin
ed S. and costs. Parker pleaded
not guilty and took the stand in
his own defense. He told the court
that he had not been drinking on
the night in question nor had he
been drinking during the day pre-
ceding. Chief M. C. Mitchell was
the prosecuting Witness.
Willie Edward Spencer, Man
teo Negro, pleaded not guilty to
a charge of being drunk and dis
orderly and committing assault
ON April Is. The case was post
poned until next Tuesday, and
Spencer was required to give $50

SECY. BRANNAN ASKS FOR
GREATER CORN ACREAGE

The urgent need for farmers to
boost their corn acreage about 5
million acres and to increase BAR
ley, grain sorghum, and soybean
acreages above early indicated
intentions is the spark behind the
intensified drive for larger plant
ings, according to G. T. Scott,
Chairman of the North Carolina
Agricultural Mobilization Commit
tee and Chairman Of the State
PIMA Committee. The production
guide for farmers recommends
total of 80 million acres of corn
for 1851. The State corn guide is
2,185,000 acres. Farmers in the
commercial corn counties of N. G.
should give careful consideration
to this request for increased
acreage and its relationship to
acreage allotments and quotas if
they should be necessary in future
years.
.'The need to maintain high-level
feed grain production is too inn
portant for us to take any
chances" Secretary of Agriculture
Charles F. Brannan has said.
"Feed grain is keystone in the
whole agricultural defense effort.
adequate production of meat and
other animal products depends d.
rectly on the feed grain supply.
81 know that farmers, as al
ways, will reconsider their earlier
plans and meet production needs,
if they have the facts. Our i'm
mediate job is to be sure that they
have these facts, and that hey
have them now = before planting
time.
81 am calling upon all State
Agricultural Mobilization Commit
tees, made up of the heads of ag-
ricultural agencies, to use the re-
manning time between now and
planting to concentrate on efforts
which will assure the desired
acreage" IL
Most of the increased corn
paintings are sought in the high
yield midwest States. Averages Of
Barley, grain sorghums, and soy
beans higher than were indicated
in farmers early planting inten-
lions are recommended in areas
where these are most important
feed crops. The objective of the
drive is greater feed production.

In washing paint, it is impor-
tant to wash only small area at
a time and rinse carefully before
moving on to another area. Even
a mild soap contains some alkali
that will eventually injure paint
if left on it. Directions for some
commercial paint cleaning prepar-
ations suggest that no rinsing is
needed. Yet many are highly al
kaline, say specialists, and win
damage the surface if left on.

Adrian Ayers, Charles Midget,
John Allen and Dave West. Earl
Green and Sam Midget remain
on the directing board with year
of their terms still to run.
Irwin Nioxn, president of the
Elizabeth City Lions Club, acted
as presiding officer during the
period of nomination.
Guest Speaker
Mrs. McCrary, a director of the
rehabilitation program for the
North Carolina Commission for
the blind, spoke to the group, re-
minding Lions that the original
impulse for work for the blind in
this state came from Lions or
CARNATIONS in the state. Mrs. Nc
Crary said that North Carolina
has received national and inter-
national recognition as one of the
most advanced states operating a
program of aid and rehabilitation
for blind persons. Because Lions
clubs over the state have made as
sistance to the blind their chief
project every year, she said, the
state commissions program is abb
lie to operate on a farm greater
scale than it could otherwise do
with the limited funds available
to it.
AS she showed a film illustrat-
ing the ways that blind persons in
this state have been enabled to
learn skills that make them self
supporting, Mrs. McCrary was alb
lie to emphasize many things in a
meaningful way because she was
herself blind in the recent past.
A fellow worker, Miss Anderson
of williamson, Commission field
representative, spoke briefly, say
ing. that her services were availa-
BILE at all times for the assistance
of the club when it sought to aid
any blind person or partially blind
person within its own community.
Broom Sale
Ellsworth Midget, chairman Of
the Broom Sale being conducted
this week, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, by the Manteo Lions for
the aid of the blind, reported
briefly on the plans formulated
for the conduct Of the sale.
Club treasurer Edward Greene
reported that the Manteo Rotary
Club was awaiting disposition of
the money collected at the benefit
basketball game between the two
clubs before proceeding with its
part of the work to be done at the
community children's playground.
The club voted unanimously to
give the Rotary $50 of the net
proceeds, $5S.70, and thus speed
up the project.

Cpl. Ddnielson Writes
From Korean Front

A letter from Cpl. Harlan r.
Danielson in Korea, to his par
entS, Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Dan
ielSon of Hardin, describes the
Korean war and gives his own
impressions of the situation.
The letter, dated March 6,
reads as follows, in part:
I'VE are in the central sector
of Korea right beside the Sec
ond division. There are plenty
of Cooks ahead of us and we
are making slow progress. The
field artillery is killing most of
them.
"One of our ROCKS in the
motor pool got wounded by a
mortar shell while inside the
tent by the stove. I was on the
other side of the stove from
him. He made a good shortstop.
"The weather is still cold
here. It showed about four in
ches last night. When the cold
spell is over we will have the
rainy season. That will be when
the going is tough. I thought
Okinawa was bad, but this
place is 10 times worse.
"I sure will be glad when this
nonsense is over. We all can't
see much to fight for over
here. I always did like excite
ment, but sometimes it gets a
little too exciting"
Cpl. Danielson is with head

lion, 31st infantry regiment.

"For your information and
others interested at Hardin,
will state that I think the pros
poets for obtaining an early
start on construction for Vel
lowtail has greatly improved
We are now hearing that atten-
ton should be given to a dis
persal of industries useful in
the war effort, and 7 am very
hopeful that may be a basis
for starting the construction of
a number of small and medium
size multiple-purpose projects,
like the YelloWtail. ;"

Hazel Christensen
Resigns as
Local Librarian

Mrs. Hazel Christensen of
Hardin recently resigned as Ii
brarian at the Big Horn County
library, effective April /, fol-
lowing a quarter of a century
of service in that capacity, dur
ing which time the local library
has gained a reputation as one
of the finest in the Northwest.
Mr. and Mrs. Christensen will
move to Arlee, Mont, where
they have purchased a tourist
court, which they will operate.
Describing her work of the
past Is years at the library,
Mrs. Christensen said in an
interview:
when starting to work as
county librarian, November /,
1926, T found a most deplor-
able and, pathetic condition ex-
listed in the library. Very few
book shelves filled with unclass-
flied and uncatalogued books
adults and children'S fiction,
nonfiction and reference books
all mixed together on the
shelves.
HALF of them were held to-
gether4 by rubber bands, they
were so badly in need of repair.
Many piles of old government
bulletins and files of old maya
zines were in piles on the main
floor and in the basement.
1.-THE back yard was used to
park old carS-no lawn or trees
Ia small lawn in front and a
Russian olive hedge around the
front lawn.
""The library contained no
catalogue file, no telephone, no
typewriter. window shades were
old and battered and lighting
was inadequate. A very low cir
cu1ation record meant that only
a few people used the facilities
of the library.
"It was a very diScouraging
picture, but a healthy challenge
which I accepted even though
T had just been offered a posi-
ton as head librarian in a fine
new library on the West coast"
Previous to coming here Mrs.
Christensen had been cataloger
and reference librarian for sew
eral. years in the Parmly Bill
lings library and librarian for
Eastern Montana Normal school
in Billings for four summers.
After Mrs. ChriStiansen'S first
year here the circulation gain
was more than $4,000. In later
years as many as $4,000 volumes
were loaned during a single
year. The library now contains
10000 volumes fully catalogued
and classified in. the Dewey de-
cimal system that is now used
in all the newer libraries.
The library also contains a
splendid picture. file not to be
found in many larger Libraries.
It has a fine collection of Mon
tana history, especially about

Tribal Council Head
Answers Letter
From Area Director

Under date of March IS,
Robert YelloWtail, chairman of
the Crow Tribal Council, wrote
an answer to Paul L. Fickinger,
Billings, Indian area office di-
rector, who earlier had suggest
ed a referendum vote on the
offer of the Interior depart
ment to the Crow tribe for Vel
loWtail dam and reservoir site
in Big Horn canyon.
YelloWtail'S letter, made pub
lie last week, reads as follows,
in part:
You express regret that the
Crows took only about II days
in considering their reply of re-
fuSal of R~eclamation'S offer.
You also point out that only 10
members were present when the
resolution was adopted, etc. You
also suggest, and infer that
through a referendum every
Crow should be given an oppor-
tunity to- register his or her ap-
prevail or rejection of Reclama-
TONS offer.
Your attention is directed to
the fact that this whole contro-
verSey is not a new matter. It
was begun away back in the
beginning of the Woodrow Will
son administration by the Big
Horn Power and Irrigation Co.,
of Hardin, and supported and
sponsored by Senators Thos. J.
Walsh and Henry l.. Myers. The
whole question of the ecqui-
sition of the Crow tribal lands
needed for the dam site were
begun then and, as you know,
reservations of these lands were
made at that time and since
that time the agitation for &C
QUESTION has never been allowed
to die down.
The present agitation by your
office and that of Reclamation
is but a revival of the long
brewing agitation-hence your
complaint that only II days
were given to consideration of
the question and Reclamation
offer through you is answered
by the foregoing; also, that the
Crows have had this matter be-
fore them since 1912 and on
the 23rd of February rendeded
their tribal council verdict of
which you now complain.
LET me also advise you fur
ther that upon receipt from you
of your letter of February Il
I called the Crow tribal council
together to consider the latest
offer for Crow tribal lands
needed for the dam.
"You were invited to attend
the council, which you agreed
to attend, but did not. The

Says I~nfestation
By CutworIns
Unlikely This Year

Although no accurate pre-
diction can be made, another
army cutworn infestation such
as hit this area last year is
not expected this year, accord
ing to information from N. A.
Jacobsen, county. extension
agent.
The statement is based on
information received from. the
state ~entomologist which indi-
Gates that never before in the
history OF army cutWormS in
Montana has there ever been
two major outbreaks in success
sive years.
Since there is no survey me-
thod by which a cutWorn in
~festation can be predicted, farm
ers who had heavy infestations
last year should again check
those areas where the heaviest
damage to grain crops occurred.
ALI marginal areas and waste
lands which produced a heavy
cutWorm infestation last year
should be closely watched until
it is certain there will be no
further danger this spring, the
agent said.
For a time last year during
April there was probably 10000
acres of winter wheat seriously
threatened in Big Horn county.
Had prompt control measures
not been applied by farmers
along with stormy weather,
which interrupted cutWorm &C
tivity, crop losses would have
been extensive.
