pointed by the State Supreme
Court and Mr.. Culligan was ap-
pointed by Attorney General Boil

FREE TREE. SEEDLINGS
ARE STILL AVAILABLE

North Carolina All Club men,
bers have ordered less than one
tenth of the free tree seedlings
available to them, according to
John E. Ford, assistant extension
forester at State College.
Of the 1,175,0O0 seedlings to

only $4,000 have been ordered.
Ford urges that applications for
the young trees be submitted as
soon as possible.
Only $4,000 shortleaf pine seed
lings remain to be distributed.
Ford suggests that those who
want to plant them and who live
in areas where these seedlings
are available should order them
at once. Other seedlings availa-
BILE in the districts to which they
were allotted are: loblolly pine,
$50, 400; shortleaf pine, $4,000;
and white pine, $4,000.
Of the ID counties which have
taken advantage of the offer al
ready, Caldwell County leads in
number of seedlings ordered. Club
members in that county have Or
dered a total of $1,000 of which
$500 are white pine. Cleveland
has ordered the second largest
number, a total of 1880, all of
them shortleaf.
Club members interested in OBJ
tanning free pine seedlings should
see their county farm agent for

CRESWELL THEATRE
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Damage estimated at close to
$4,000 resulted from a fire which
totally destroyed the Creswell
Theatre between 1890 and 1870
pm. last Thursday.
A grass fire in the rear of the
building crept up unnoticed until
it reached a $50 gallon fuel oil
tank, causing it to explode and
spray the building with liquid fire.
The Edenton Fire Company was
called to the scene, but arrived
too late to check the fire before
the building was enveloped in
flames. The Columbia Fire De-
partment made the nine-mile run
to Creswell in quick time and ar
rived first on the scene, but it,
too, was too late to halt the con-
flagration. The two-year-old
theatre building was owned and
operated by Earl Davenport.

WE WE'RE MOOT SCARED
WE W-UZ JUST CO.O-L-D

By CARLTON MORRIS, Editor.
Gstes County Index
Interest in goose hunting has
been running wild in Gates County
for several days now, as one hunt
er after the other reports his good
or bad luck.
I consider myself as the original
goose hunter, having lived around
and hunted them all my life part
ly, 50 with very little persuasion
on my part, I talked Ernest As
kew into a goose hunt.
Immediately after climbing out
of bed and making some strong
coffee and drinking same, heard
Ernest outside ready to go. 1t
was nearly a in the morning.
Shivering and shaking we de-
parted and shivering and shaking
we returned several hours later
but in between lies the story.
I drove straight to the home of
Earl Harris on the south side of
Lake Mattamuskeet, a distance of
some 1875 miles from Gainesville.
l always call Earl my best friend
but sometimes l wonder. He was
my best man when l was married
and a man who will stand silently
by and see a fellow creature stick
his neck into all the trouble l did
that day-well he did the same
thing few years later so he just
didn't know any better.
l reused Earl out of bed as it
was then 6 in the morning and
was afraid he would be late for
work. He said we wouldn't see
any geese as they were not fly
ing but we didn't believe him so
shiveringly we headed down the
field. Earl has more sense than I
thought for he didn't go, claim
ing he had cold.
The sun was just beginning to
peep coldly over the horizon when
we saw the first geese. Four of
them came flying high over the
hedge where we stood shivering
and shaking. Ernest wanted to
shoot but from my superior know
ledge l figured it would take an
anti-aircraft gun to bring one
of them down so I said no. AS it
turned out that was our best
chance in a day of freezing.
After about an hour of shaking
and stamping the frozen ground
we returned to the house where
Earl and his wife poured hot cof-
fee into US until we had thawed
sufficiently to try again.
Down the road a ways I went

 The board of regents also au- thorized an immediate investiga- ton of the possibilities of adult education throughout Alaska. To that end, Professor William Ca shen, dean of the summer school, will attend a conference on edu- cation in Juneau, starting June II.
 Prof. Cashen will make a study of what subjects are most in demand for adult education in the cities and towns of Alaska and what number of citizens will most probably avail themselves of the courses offered, Nerland an- nounced.

INSPECTORS PRAISE DEVELOPMENT OF "AMAzINC" EKLUTNA PROJECT

Eklutna, the great government bureau of reclamation develop ment near Palmer, lis an amazing project-one of the most interest ing in the world, William R. Eos ter, assistant director, office of programs and finance, Washing ton, D. C., declared here after an inspection tour.
 First federally-financed project in Alaska, at an estimated cost of $27, ,530,000, the Eklutna tunnel, which will pierce tremendous Goat mountain, will tap Eklutna lake 65 feet below the level to provide power.
 "Eklutna and it's development are in the national spotlight, Foster declared. "At first there was a lot of criticism on spend ing more than 27 million dollars on this power project, but it has proved a shot of adrenalin for government-financed projects es- sential to national defense and in- dustrial development.
 Several other government pro- iects are in the making: Swan lake at Ketchikan, the Wicker sham near Fairbanks, at Beaver creek, he said.
 With Foster on the inspection "trip was Joseph M. Morgan of Juneau, district bureau of recla- nation manager.
 "The project is in good hands, he declared. ''Its importance Tn national defense was testified by the overall command.
 Stimulates Industry
 For civilians, in addition to de- fense, should war strike, it will stimulate business, establish in- 'dustrial development, and build payrollS.
 He said the engineering job of cutting through the below-water level tunnel will be one of the most daring yet constructed.
 The test tunnel, already driven in 180 feet, is encouraging.
 Contracts for construction of
Valley frontiersman., 1951-06-08

the actual tunnel, for the pen- stock which drops water from the end of the tunnel to the power plant, for the vertical shaft, in take tunnel structure and gate works, are called for in bids to close June 25. The bids probably will be let July 6, Morgan said.
 Byron G. Felkner, Eklutna construction engineer stationed at Palmer bureau of reclamation headquarters, has been Outside conferring on recent rush trips, one to Washington, D. C., where decision was made to put two 15,OOO XIV generators in the Elk lutna power plant, another to Denver to confer with engineers, then on to Cleveland to study a similar intake run below Lake Erie.
 Underground Power House
 The exploratory tunnel now be- ing drilled will determine whe- ther it is practical to build pow CT house under Goat mountain. If so, it will be the first ain the United States, although they have been built in Sweden and Italy. The powerhouse will be approxl- mately 50 by 150 by 70 feet.
