New York, (GlobaD Lets take
stock and analize ourselves and see
how we stand when it comes to
charm assets.
We often think of beauty when
we think of charm but beauty is
only the outward expression of the
inner soul and of the mind. Ap-
pearance is important, too.
Your hair, makeup and clothes, are
all important in the overall charm
picture. Of course, we cannot talk
about appearance without men
tioning cleanliness of body, but this
again, reflects cleanliness of mind.
When all of these things are an
accomplished fact, then you will
have the poise which you have
gained not only by meeting these
standards, but by establishing faith
in yourself and, indeed, in God and
in others.
Now that we have achieved these
outward signs of charm, we can
think of cultivating the more in
tangile qualities of charm. The
voice is important and should be
pleasing to ALL And, of course,
good manners are essential. We
hardly need touch on all the little
things that make up charming be-
havior. We must also think of our
sincerity in human relationships,
and we must cultivate the ability
to make and keep friends. IA
If you stand this test, you are
well on your way, to being truly
charming person.

BE CAREFUL WHEN
PRESSING WOOLENS

Are you thinking of taking your
woolen clothing out of storage?
With winter weather just around
the corner, lots of folks are. And
even though those woolens were
clean when you put them in boxes
or on hangers last spring, they'll
still need a good pressing before
they're ready to wear.
If you do your pressing at home,
avoid an iron that's too hot-it can
ruin wool. That's the advice. Of
Miss Helen Church, clothing spe-
cialist for the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service at the University of
Arizona.
Even if you're using a steam
iron, it's a good idea to press those
woolens on the wrong side, because
the heel of the iron is hot enough
to cause damage in spite of the
steam.
No matter what kind of iron you
use, you'll be on the safe side IL
you'll use wool pressing cloth
with a piece muslin attached. By
sewing the two pieces together
along one end, the muslin can be
dampened and placed over the wool
pressing cloth to provide steam for
pressing. That way you can press
those gabardines on either the
wrong or right side without dam
ger of making them shiny.
II creases or plaits are a prob
lem, a wooden clapper or beater
may help. A piece of hardwood
shaped into an oval block II inches
long, 314 inches wide and 11@
inches thick, can be used. to clap
out steam when you lift the press
cloth, or to make sharp edges,
creases or to press seams flat.

UNIVERSITY REPORT SHOWS,
HYDE HAD 30 PER CENT LOSS
In POPULATION IN so YEARS
TyrRelPs Population Almost Static While
r Dare Gained Only 648 People Since 1900:
Many Factors Contribute to Depletion Of
Population.


Figures that are rather inter
esting, developed in the Univer-
sity News Letter show that Hyde
County, during the fifty years be-
tween 1900 and 1850, lost in pop
ulation SO.2 per cent. In 1900
Hyde had 9,278 inhabitants, and
in 1861, 6,479, a loss Of 2,T99 peo-
pie.
While Hyde lost heavily in pop
ulation, Tyrrell and Dare had no
gains worth Dragging about. Dare
gained only 64S people, and Tyr
rell's population remained practi-
cally static. Dare had 4,757 as
against 5,4O5 in 1850. Tyrrell had
5,048 in 1850, a gain of only So
people.
Beaufort County gained 10,7S0
people and in 1850 had a po2ula-
ton of S7,134. Washington also
gained 2,572, having in 1850 a
population of 1880.
1t has often been said that Hyde
has a very high percentage Of
college graduates, causing many Of
its young people to leave home
for employment. There are many
factors which have contributed to,
Hyde's decline in poulation. In the
early part of the century there
was a large migration to Bella
ven principally by people who got
employment in the mills. There
was also migration of many peo-
pie to Washington and other
towns.
When modern roads began COM
ing to North Carolina 80 years
ago, Dare, Hyde and Tyrrell were
the last counties in the state to
receive their due and full measure
of benefits from this program.
During this long period Of dis
couragement, many citizens moved
away.
There have been no industries
developed in these counties, hence
no migrations of people to fill up
the empty places. A decline in
commercial fishing has caused
many people to seek opportunity
elsewhere. Altogether, most ev-
erything has been drawback,
commercially and industrally in
these counties. The trent toward
Improvement appears now with
growth in the tourist industry.

.FERRY'S FOUNDER
RETIRES AFTER 20
YEARS AT INLET

Capt. Toby Tillett who establish
ed Oregon Inlet Ferry 20 years
ago has retired as skipper and will
operate fishing boat from Wan
cheese, his native village, in the
future. Capt. Tillett operated Ore
gon Inlet ferry for many years
as a commercial venture. Several
months ago he sold out to the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission.
His Oregon Inlet ferry in the old
days was the water link of vast
roadless beach oftimes described
as the toughest trip in the world,
by writer's who gave frequent plays
to the Manteo-Hatteras bus line.
Except for 13 miles of beachland
through Pea Island, just south of
the inlet, a paved road now stretch
es from Mays Head to- Hatteras
village. The Pea Island link of the
highway is scheduled to be COM
pleted during the coming spring.
Captain Toby, like his brother,
Sam, plans to go into the sports
fishing business. He is now hav-
ing a cruiser built for taking out
parties when the channel bass and
Gulf Stream fishes start running,
according to reports.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
LISTING YOUR COUNTY TAXES
January Listing Month for Counties and Towns Through
North Carolina; Here Is Complete Information AS
To What You Are Required to Do

Local governmental officials be-
lieve that taxpayers should know
the facts about the taxes imposed
on their property for the purpose
of raising county and city revenue.
Since North Carolina law requires
property-owners to list their prop
erty for taxation every January,
the time is ripe for simple expla-
nation of the law. People who live
within the corporate limits of a
city or town pay taxes on their
property to both the county and
the city or town, but for purposes
of clarity this article is written in
terms of county taxation
Ten of the most common cues
tions about the property TAX are
set out below. The answers are de-
signed to help the average individ-
ual understand his responsibility.
l. What is the property tax?
The property tax is a tax on
property itself. 1t is not tax on
income from property. Instead, it
is based on the value of the prop
erty as a marketable item. That is
why it is called an ad valorem
property tax. This tax must be
imposed uniformly on all property
according to it's market value.
2. What kinds of property are
subject to this tax?
In general, all property within
the county is subject to taxation
by the county. 1t is important
however, to know that there are
two main kinds of property. One
is called "real property" mean
ing land, buildings, and items per

During the last four years"
said Mrs. Balfour Baum, Dare
County campaign director,
"the nation has experienced it's
worst polio years in history. Many
people are not aware of this great
increase because polio cases have
been widely distributed rather
than concentrated in specific areas.
But 1851 marked the fourth con-
secutive year in which the March
of Dimes has had to go into debt
to pay for the care of polio pa
tients needing help.
"The estimated deficit at the
end of 1851 is $5,OOO,OOO. Thus
the 1852 March of Dimes will
be mOrtgaged for this amount
before any money may be set
aside for scientific research or
for contingencies that lie ahead
next summer.
The campaign director revealed
that whereas in previous years
the average annual incidence of
polio was about 10000 cases, that
figure has been tripled in the last
four years, bringing the annual
average to 10000. The four-year

C Sc total, Mrs. Baum said,
was 132,0O0-more than all the
polio cases reported during the
previous ten years.
"The tremendous obligations
facing the National Foundation"
Mrs. Baum said, ''have fore
ed us to double the March of
Dimes campaign period. 1t will
extend from today throughout
the entire month of January as
we endeavOr to raise enough
money to wipe out the 1851 debt
and avoid mourning another for
1852.
sour committees have been
formed earlier than ever before.
We want every citizen in the coun-
ty to play a part in making this
March of Dimes the greatest ever
conducted"
The Dare County campaign
director said that calls for volun-
teers had drawn fine response,
but he added that many more
hands were still needed. Residents
of Dare County wishing to help
may do so in a score of ways.

with land or buildings. The other
kind of property is called "per-
sonal property" meaning nova
BILE property. Personal or movable
property is divided into two class
es: (a) tangible or touchable per-
sonal property and (b) intangible
or non-touchable property. Books,
rings, clothing merchandise, etc.,
are examples of tangible personal
property. Money, bonds, notes,
stocks, etc., are examples of in
tangible personal property. The
taxpayer should remember that
the county does not tax intangible
personal property. The State col
IectS taxes on intangibles. The
county taxes real property and
tangible personal property. Some
kinds of property are exempted
from taxation by North Carolina
law; they are discussed in ques-
lions 8 and 9.
9. Where is property taxed?
Real property Gland, buildings,
etc.,, is taxed in the county in
which it is actually located. Tan
gible personal property, as gen.
eral rule, is taxed in the county
in which the owner has his resi-
dence. An individuals residence is
the place at which he lives, eats,
and sleeps-his home township. If
a property-owner is not a resi-
dent of North Carolina, the coun-
ty in which hiS personal property
is located is entitled TO consider
itself as his residence for purposes
of taxing the Tlon-resident's per-
sonal property located within that
county. If a person maintains
more than one residence within
North Carolina, his residence for
tax purposes is the place at which
he lived longest during the year
Immediately preceding January 1.
If a person has left one county and
moved to new county shortly be-
fore January 1 with the intention
of living in the new county, his
residence for tax purposes is the
county to which he has moved.
The residence of a corporation,
partnership, business firm, etc., is
at the place of its principal office
in North Carolina.
There are few exemptions to
the general rule about taxation of
personal property in the county in
which the owner has his residence.
Taxpayers should consult the fol-
lowing list of exceptions to deter
mine whether any of their person
al property is taxable other than
in the township in which they re-
side:
(a) If a resident of North Caro-
lima keeps or uses personal proper
ty in connection with temporary
or seasonal residence in a county
other than his home county (for
example, at a beach or mountain
cottage), such personal property is
subject to taxation in the county
in which the temporary residence
is located.
(b) Personal property kept, or
used in connection with rental real
estate in North Carolina is always
subject to taxation in the county
in which that rental real estate is
located, regardless of whether the
owner lives in that county.
(c) If the taxpayer rents or oc-
cupies place of business for use
in connection with certain person
al property, the personal property
so used is subject to taxation in
the county in which the place Of
business is located, regardless Of
where the taxpayer happens to
live.
