Zuckerl fir die Manner

Durch unsere Eigenliebe YER
fuhrt uns die Liebe. VIE k0nnte
man einem Gefihl widerstehen,
das versch0nt, was wir haben,
das uns wiedererstattet, was wiz
verloren und das uns schenkt,
was wir NIGHT haben?
Der Handel zwischen Mann und
Frau gleicht dem der Europaer in
Indien. Es ist Elm kriegerischer
Handel.
Wenn cine Bindung zwischen
Mann und Frau wirklich interes-
SAINT sein soil. muss sic Genuss,
Erinnerung und Sehnsucht nit
einander verbinden.
Was ist cine Geliebte? Fine
Frau, bel der man allies vergisst,
was man sonst auswendig weiss,
das heisst ALE Fehler hires Ge-
schlechts.
Man sagt: Die sch0nste Frau
kann NIGHT mehr geben, ais sic
hat. Das ist ganz falsch. Sic
gibt gerade so viel, ais man zu
empfangen versteht, denn hiel
bestimmt die Phantasie den Wer.
der Gabe.
Das Versnugen, itre Schonheit
zu zeisen, ist besonders der
Frauen angeboren, deren Gestalt
sch6ner list ais ihr Gesicht.
Man ist meistens nur durch
Nachdenken unglucklich. Wei
INNER liebt, findet NIGHT mehl
die Musse, SIGH zu beklagen und
SIGH unglucklich zu fiihlen.

EnthGllte Zeit
Won MARTIN KESSEL

Man kann SIGH fragen, OBJ es
uberhaupt m0slich ist, die Zeit zu
erleben, ich meine die Zeit an
SIGH. Wenn sic vorbei ist, so is:
es INNER, ais ware sic NIGHT ge-
wesen. und drei Sommer sind
damn vie elmer. Aber kirzlich
hat mir das Mahnende hires Vor-
handenseins doch Angst einge-
jagt.
Zwei Bllder sind es. die mir vor
Augen stehen. Auf elmer Bank
i'm Park sass cine alte, weisshar-
rige Frau. Sic warrnte SIGH In

nahm ich das Bid in mich auf,
ais hattie ich Elm Wesen gesehen

mahnte mich an Verganglichkeit

Vergehens. Dieses verwitterte
Stick Mensch war so ems NIT der
Natur, ais ware es bereits Elm
Stick hires Schosses. Stille Ru-
he, Gelassenheit, erfulltes &C.
schick, dies allies NIT Elm wenig
Some bedeckt, so empfing ich
das Bid des Alters.
Wenig spater traf ich cine Be-
kannte. Wir hatten zusammen
studiert. und seitdem hatten wir
uns aus den Augen verloren. Fast
zwei Jahrzehnte lagen dazWischen.
As ich sic wiedersah, erschrack
AIS ich sic wiedrsah, erschrak
durchaus dem Stand hires Alters,
trotzdem war da noch etwas, das
nicht stimmte, das ich NIGHT in
Uebereinstimmung brachte. Ich
erlebte plotzlich die Zeit, und das
war derart, dass ich mich ausser-
stande fuhlte, das einstise Ju-
gendbildnis nit dem jetzigen Bid
mis- in Einklang zu bringen. Mir
war, ais pfeife aus einem entsetz-
lichen Zugloch cine Art Frost.
und ich furchte, ich empfand

Es war das Bid elmer gleichsam

destoveniger ergriff mich cine
Panik. Es war, ais fielen SAINT

1T ISN'T ONLY IN
WASHINGTON
(Hertford County Herald)

The announcement of expected
increase in the income of the State
of North Carolina recently was
accompanied by list of demands
from various state officials and de-
partments for increases in their
appropriations from the State
Legislature that will meet in JAN
uary. Even though substantial in
creases from state taxes are ex-
pected,. these increases will not be-
gin to take care of the requests
from the states officials.
North Carolina is known for its
excellent tax structure, but it is
to be wondered if the fact that the
state income is both large and sure
ism responsible for a tendency on
the part of the states officers to
reach out for more money to spend
than may be necessary. 1t would
be only human, it is granted, but
it might be worth the while of the
members of the newly elected
Legislature, to investigate all the
more carefully all requests and to
hold them to reasonable amounts.
There is no such a thing posi-
BILE as the reduction of taxes,
even though experience leads one
to be pessimistic along that line.
Perhaps the Washington fever
has been caught by state officials.
If so, they need immediate and
drastic treatment.

mot ben discussed by the Park
Service, but that the establish
ment of the Park would not pre-
clude such a possibility. Mr..
Stratton at this point explained
that the State retained its right
of-way and has as matter of
fact built roads in Park areas. Mr..
Wirth expressed himself as hav-
ing an open mind on this SUBJ
ject. Of question z, Mr.. With eX-
planned the source of money for
the purchase of land and stated
that he believed adequate funds
were available. He stated that
owners of the land would be APP
preached individually by Govern
ment officials for agreement as to
cost of land, and only failing to
reach such an agreement, the
courts would have to fix the
price. He stated that since the
project did not meet with serious
contention when it was started
fifteen years ago, he did not feel
that the majority of people had
changed their views; he said that
he did not know what recourse
was available to those who OBJ
jected, except that presumably
the Courts would have to make
the decision.
The answers to these questions
led to other questions by several
Ocracoke residents, among them
Marvin Howard, Eph Esham, r.
win Garrish, Wahab Howard, all
pertaining to details of hunting
or fishing privileges as pertinent
to Ocracoke. Mr.. Wirth answered
all these in a straightforward
factual manner. The meeting adj
journed, but good many resi-
dents remained to meet the Park
Officials and to present questions
of particular interest to them
selves as individuals.
Mr.. Wirth and his group
spent the night at the Wahab Ho-
tel,leaving for further meetings
at Hatteras and other communi-
ties further north on the Banks.
Several visitors were here for the
meeting; these included Sam C.
Jones, ST., and his brother, and
Sam G. Jones, Jr., of Norfolk,
George Davis of Swan Quarter.
Several tourists attended the
meeting.

OTHER EDITORS
A POLITICAL ORPHAN
Washington Daily News)

The South is a political orphan.
The Democrats know that the
South will go Democratic in the
November election, and as a result
little attention is paid to it either
from the standpoint of vote or
needs.
The Republicans feel that same
way and as a result they do their
campaigning in the areas where
the two party system is felt SO
strongly. And they have little real
reason to campaign in the South.
For a moment let US suppose
that we had real two party sys-
tenn in the so-called "Solid South"
If this were the case, then the
politicians of both parties would
be falling over each other in
counting the South.
Instead of speaking of Southen
representative and senators as
those "filibustering rebels" they
would speak of the area as land
of promise and praise the efforts
of our congressional delegation to
fight for the homeland.
In short if we had real two
party system in the South then
we would not have to resort to
the we'll known filibuster to pro-
tect our interests. They would be
amply protected by politicians
from other areas who would have
mortal fear of antagonizing the
Dixie people,.
Such is politics. The time may
come if indeed it is not already
coming when the two party sys-
tenn will be more potent in North
Carolina and elsewhere in the
Southland.
One of our greatest failures in
this nation at election time is the
failure to get out the vote. If we
are to be a political orphan down
South lat least we should evert
every effort to let our full voice
and not one half of it be heard.
The fact that the South is po-
litical orphan has so many draw
backs, in the first place too few
people really understand the diff
ficult situation in which our con-
gressional representation finds it
self. No other section of the ma
ton has to fight like our South
erners do. No other section Of the
nation faces the constant hammer
ing of the sectionalism charge
that our Southern representatives
do. The other areas of the nation
don't have to face these charges
and bitter fights that our repre-
and senators do because
of the more even two party system
in vogue in other areas.

TALE OF NARROW ESCAPE
BACK IN 1885 is TOLD
(Roanoke Beacon)

Renaissance concerning hap
penings of bygone days invariably
proves interesting and especially
so to persons either involved or
who have some prior knowledge
of such happenings.
The Beacon recently received a
nice letter from a frequent cor
respondent, Mrs. G. L. Davenport,
of Roper Ri. /, in which was en-
closed an account of narrow es-
cape from drowning in September
1885.
The subject of the account, is
Thomas Johnson, living three miles
from Mackeys Ferry, came near
being drowned while coming from
Edenton. There being no wind, it
was decided to take down the sails
and row.
Suddenly, wind from the north
making it favorable, the oars were
left across the gunwales of the
boat; the men raised sail again
and were carried on at a rapid
rate, when the blades of the oars
struck some stakes. The oar hand
les struck Mr.. johnson in the
breast and knocked him backwards
into the water. He called to the
men on the boat for help; having
one oar, he could not reach them
with a head wind.
He swan to a stake, held on
with the help of his teeth and with
the other hand disrobed himself.
He then started out and after
swimming a long time came to
another set of stakes. Not know
ing whether he was swimming out
farther or not, he proceeded to
lash himself to one of the stakes.
Wet and shivering with cold,
he heard someone call and he ans
wered time after time; on their
appearing, he found it to be the
boat he fell from. They had been
ashore, got help and come in
search of him. He remained in
the water three hours during the
ordeal.

as bad as going through life with
only one arm, leg or eye.
A period of great restlessness
has been developed. Youths hardly
know what courses they want to
take. In such cases, the student
should be reminded that a founda-
ton we'll laid in the basic subjects
will help support a career in al
most any field. The lad with a bas-
ic knowledge in mathematics, yes
common old arithmetic, can equip
himself for a bookkeeping job by
serving as an apprentice. The same
holds true in other fields.
The great trouble with each sue
ceeding generation is that it is
overly bent on having a good time,
reading trashy literature and dodg-
ing sound study in the fundamen-
tails.
The extra time required to COM
plete high school may seem like
a lifetime to a teen-ager, but lit
tie self-sacrifce, a little self-dis-
cipline during that vital period of
his life, in most cases, will en-
nance his future happiness and
earning capacity. The lad who
sticks by education, the one who
learns to give up immediate pleas
ures will almost certainly reap
long-range happiness.
Parents, patrons tie a h r S,
church and civic leaders and others
should double and redouble their
efforts in guiding children who do
not recognize the need for high
school education.
Unfortunately there are circum-
stances that will take many out
of school and little can be done
about it. However, there are many
thousands who quit school for no
good reason. They are the ones
who need immediate attention and
thoughtful guidance.

the land and are adequate funds
available for acquiring the land
and developing it? 81 What pro-
cedure will the Government use
for obtaining the land from pli-
vate owners? (9) What redress
is available to those who oppose
the project or object to their
property being taken?
Mr.. Wirth reviewed briefly the
history of the Park Service and
stated that the Seashore Park
Area was outstanding both as a
scientifically and scenic area as a
sandspit of the Atlantic Ocean,
and also historically as the
Graveyard of the Atlantic" In
reply to question 2, he read the
Act of Congress of 1887 and the
Amendments of 1910, authorizing
and defining the creation of the
Park. Limits include the southern
end of Bodie Island south to
Ocracoke Inlet.
Considerable discussion ensued
with respect to question 4 regard
ing rights and restrictions that
the Government might exercise,
and Mr.. Wirth explained that the
National Park Service would
have no jurisdiction over COM
mercial fishing, sport fishing, or
hunting on the lands or waters
of Ocracoke and that the Acts of
Congress specifically provided
that there would be no infringe
ment of these rights in the Park
area, but that they would of
course be subject to existing reg
ulations. He stated that this pro-
vision of the Act protecting the
fishing and hunting rights was
applicable to the Ocracoke Island
area of the Park, and to 1000
acres to be selected on Hatteras
or Bodie. He stated quite def
nately that it was the policy of
the National Park Service to pro-
hibit grazing of livestock in park
areas, and he assumed that same
policy would be followed here.
He stated that the Park Service
would not undertake any COM
mercial development; that this
would be left to the communities
along the Banks. His reply to
question 6 was of much interest,
since a great many Ocracokers
would like to have a paved road
to Hatteras and others are op-
posed to such a road. He stated
that the National Park Service
