GEORGE M. WISE of Stumpy
Point is back on the road after
many years staying at home run
ming the Fisherman's Exchange,
In % years he has served his
home folks like few people ever
do. His worth to his community
has been inestimable. But times
have changed, and there isn't the
volume of fish that made Stumpy
Point, along with many other
communities of the Coastland a
beehive of activity in season. On
July 1, Mr.. Wise turned his fish
house over to his son-in-law,
Horace Hooper, and took to the
road for Lockwood & Winant, a
we'll known firm in New York,
formerly represented by Harry
Howell. George Wise travelled the
Atlantic Coast for many years,
representing fish dealers on the
northern markets. Being married
and with twins 20 bring Stp, he
decided to go home and settle,
down so he left fine job with
the Atlantic Fish Co. in Balti-
more and established for his
home people splendid market.
He helped many a young fisher
man get a good start. He has
always been loyal and liberal
community booster. He may never
have got out of life all that was
due him, but he has a big heart,
and sound head, and he lives
with the satisfaction of a job
we'll done.

MORE ROADS FOR
US MEANS MORE
NEED FOR BRIDGE

Bridges over Croatan Sound and
Alligator River are the concern of
the whole state, says the Gates
County Index in commenting upon
our problems in the Coastland.
This newspaper, ever friendly to
US, takes note of the fact that the
Roads built for us by the Scott
administration is only making our
problem greater because the great
ly increased traffic jams up the
inadequate ferry system, and keeps
US from getting out as much as we
got out before the roads were
built. The problem is especially
acute for the people of Hatteras
Island.
The Gates County Paper COM
ments as follows:
"There is too muck to see, to
enjoy, and to absorb in that great
coastland area of North Carolina
for the State to continue for much
longer it's system of slow-moving,
inadequate ferries. The Go-For-
ward road program has done it's
duty by Dare in the highway bull
ding department, as Editor Meek
ms has said; but, if the rest of
North Carolina and indeed travel
ers from all the country are to
get to see our coastal neighbors
and to receive the enrichment that
comes from what our neighbors
have to offer, some bridges must
be built to replace outmoded fer
'ries.
Bridges for the rivers, sounds,
and inlets in the northeastern
Carolina area long ago ceased to
be local necessity, or bettermeht.
They are the concern of the whole
State. AS near neighbors, we have
cast aside all mental reservations
about when, how, and by whom
these bridges should be built and
paid for. A way should be found
by the incoming State administra-
ton to start construction, and the
costs should be borne by the whole
state-not charged up to any reg
ular ALLEGATION of funds for that
particular region.
"The thought here is that high
way development such as has been
going on in North Carolina for
many years and which was accel-
Grated by the so-called Scott pro-
gram has put our neighbors of
the coastal area on network of
good roads-are still semi-isoIated
from one another and from the
outside because Of inadequate
transportation service across their
rivers, lakes, sounds, and inlets.

THE GLORIOUS
AGE OF THE
COAST GUARD
By VICTOR MEEKINS

The men of the Coast Guard
and their work have fascinated me
ever since was a small boy. One
of the earliest pieces l wrote while
in high school, and published in
Elizabeth City 40 years ago prais-
ed the men of the Life Saving
Service. Through the years came
increased because of the many
to love all of them. And that love
good things they did for me in
travelling along. the oceanfront
from Virginia Beach to Ocracoke
Inlet, between the years of 1926
through the present.
Like all of our people, l was
geared to think of them for their
worth to humanity in peacetime.
That was the whole tradition be-
hind the service. When it came
about they were transferred to the
military in time of war, there was
"a tr M n dous transformation.
They were sent all over the globe.
And as always, the greatness
among them rose to the top and
displayed itself with credit and
renown to the whole organization.
The greatness here at home we
knew all our lives in peacetime is
now being taken from US by the

progress of our day. We may look
we may see only half-dozen life
saving stations. Coast Guard) in
all North Carolina. Twenty-Five
years ago we had Is stations OPP
Grating in Dare County. Today we
have seven remaining in service.
In short time we may expect to
see not more than two or three
left. Motor trucks, boats that run
on land and sea, tractors, and bet
ter roads now being built, makes
travel easier between stations and
likewise takes away many oppor-
tunities for the Coast Guard to
render aid.
. In the last Is years the develop
ment of the radio compass and
other modern aids to navigation
have taken away many of the
perils of the sea, and ships are
warned against danger, and Rept
from disaster. There are fewer
shipwrecks; it was upon service to
the shipwrecked that the Coast
Guard rose to glory under the
name of the Life Saving Service.
AS time went on, less emphasis
was placed on shore stations be-
cause there were fewer ship
wrecks. One by one, stations were
discontinued. A single station CIV
ing employment to seven or eight
men was the nucleus around
which many a community grew
and flourished. The Station was
the backbone of it's neighborhood.
It's men were always ready and
rallied in time of need; when sick
ness was in the land; when a boat
must be pulled ashore; in hun
dreds of, ways they served their
local public faithfully.
With the passing of the stations,
interest and expenditures for this
service went to ships and seamen
to man them. Once the Life Saw
ing Service was just about entire
ly shore service. Now the bigger
nart of it is the sea service; ships
for the rescue of other ships; for
protection of our customs laws;
for enforcement Of sealing and
fishing laws, and for the patrol
ling of the ice lanes in the North
Atlantic.

THOUSANDS VISIT
HATTERAS ISLAND
VIA NEW HIGHWAY
Many Thousands Left Be-
hind Due to Lack of Ade-
quate Ferries to Car
ny Them
By AYCOCK BROWN

While Paul Green's symphonic
drama, THE LOST COLONY, is
still considered the top attrac-
ton on the Dare Coast of North
Carolina, the far-famed island OF
Hatteras is sharing the spotlight
during the current summer. The
only trouble is that due to made
quate ferry service and improperly
maintained detours along the new
ly paved Hatteras highway, that
more thousands who wish to make
the trip turn back or never COM
plete the trip.
On Hatteras at this season tour
lists are seeing not Only the most
famous lighthouse in the world,
but they are also visiting Buxton
Woods and the village there which
is North Carolina "citrus belt"
Tourists are amazed to find grape
fruit and orange trees laden with
fruit that will be ripening in De-
by the stories and legends they
cember. They are also fascinated
encounter while visiting the Out
er Banks.
There are seven villages on Hat
teras Island and each have an in
dividual attraction for tourists. In
Rodanthe, the village where Old
Christmas is celebrated on January
5 each year, they visit famous
Chicamacomico Coast Guard Sta
ton, where crews have played ma
jor roles in the saving of life and
for more than a half CEN
fury. At nearby Waves, the ship
wreck in the oceans surf claims
along with the rag doll
project conducted by the women
of the community on behalf of
their village church. Salvo, the
next village, is on the sound side
Of the island but it's ocean beach
nearby is Uttered with the wrecks
Of many old sail vessels.
Avon, one of the larger commu-
mites of the island, is next on the
southwark trip. 1t is a prosperous
fishing town and the scenic attrac-
lions there claim the attention of
on their first trip. At
Avon, the new hotel, Cape Halter
as Hotel, has opened for the recep-
tion of guests during the current
season.
Cape Hatteras, where the viii
age is called Buxton, is next
south. 1t is here that Americas
tallest lighthouse and the highest
brick lighthouse in the world
points skyward with its black and
white spiral stripes. Heavily wood
ed Buxton is probably the warm
est place in North Carolina during
the winter months due to it's near
by Gulf Stream. Toy deer roam
the woods here at Buxton and cit
rus fruit grows without danger of
killing frosts.
Next south along the highway
to Hatteras and at the edge of the
Cape Woods is Frisco village and
then Hatteras, famed for it's sport
and commercial fishing. Hatteras
IS the most famous big game
sportsfshing center along the At
antic coast.

Effect of Winter Feeding
on Calf Production
By Prof. L. S. Pope
Oklahoma A & M, Saltwater

In order to maintain the beef ''calf factory
and produce strong, healthy calves it may be
sary to supplement winter rations with energy, pro-
tein, phosphorus and vitamn A.
lack of protein and energy seriously affects the
reproductive ability of the beef In California
tests, cows wintered the range with supple
mental feed weaned calves that averaged 95 lbs.
lighter than calves from receiving enough pro-
tein supplement and grain to stay in good condition
throughout the winter. In addition, the supple
mented cows produced much larger calf crop the
following year. Current research at Oklahoma ndi-
Gates that when plenty of roughage is available, 20
lbs daily of 4196 protein supplement may be sufh
Gent to winter beef COW in thrifty condition.
Phosphorus, often deficient in roughages, has
important part in reproduction. In Oklahoma
experiment, cows on w-phosphorus winter ration
weaned meager 500 calf crop. Their calves
aged "a pounds less at weaving than calves from
cows on high phosphorus intake.
Vitamin A deficiency may show up when beef
COWS go without green feed for longer than months.
A small amount of good-quality alfalfa hay "a to
lbs daily will supply adequate carotene under most
conditions. Recent tests show that COWS fed
ene-defcient diet during pregnancy may appear
normal but produce calves which develop symptoms
of vitamin A deficiency within few weeks.

Grass into GreenbaCks

Now is good time to stake stock of your grass
If you can increase your grass yields, you can
reduce your livestock feeding COSTS That makes
good sense Grass is one of our most economical
feeds, and in every section of the country people
are trying out new ways of turning grass into
greenbacks.
There's one such ''new way for you at the
Dixon Springs experiment station in southern
Illinois. There in one test with six 10-acre pas
lures, they find it pays to Craze cattle and sheep
together The cattle wrap their tongues around
tall grasses; the sheep clip the short varieties.
Thus, each variety thrives, and the livestock
utilize all forage. And, by proper rotation, avoid
overgrazing. 1t has been a standard practice to
Craze cattle and sheep together for over $50
years in the range country of New Zealand be-
cause it has proved both desirable and profitable.
At Dixon Springs, the best gain obtained to
date is whopping 682 pounds of beef and lamb
per acre. Best mixture for that area so far has
proved to be ladino, alfalfa, lespedeza, redtop,
timothy and alta-fescue. The original re-seeding
was on almost s'worn-out' land, built up of
course, by lining and applications of plant food
before re-seeding.
Experiment station results have been con-
frmed by many practical farmers and ranchers.
Reports tell of grass producing returns of $3.50
an acre in meat and milk; of pastures bringing
back 81 for every 81 spent on plant food; of land
Tin South Carolina) producing 100 pounds of
digestibe nutrients in grass for So cents-against
SLIT for corn.
Perhaps on your farm or ranch there is grass
land whose yield might be doubled, or even
tripled. 1t might pay you to investigate that
possibility. The best grass program for you may
be different from your neighbours. 1t probably is.
But you can find the right answer-perhaps from
your county agent, your agricultural instructor,
your state agricultural college or the Soil Con-
servation Service.

The Miracle of Meat Distribution

Whether you live in the country, or city, you
may take it for granted that you can buy
fresh meat any time, anywhere. Millions of
American shoppers seldom give thought to
s'the miracle of distribution which makes
this possible. But the 76, 900 men and women
who work at Swift & Company concentrate
on getting our job done efficiently and eco
nomically. Over the years, producers, meat
packers and Notwithstanding together in the
hvestock-meat industry-have developed the
lowest cost food distribution system in the
nation. For example, Swift performs its part
of the job for average of fraction of a cent
per pound all products handled. That's
what we earn for buying livestock, for proc
essing, distributing and marketing meat and
other products we earn for developing
and widening the market outlets for the meat
animals and other farm products which you
produce.
