SOME 100, 900 ACRES INVOLVED
IN SALE OF LAND TO PULP
COMPANY BY CEDAR WORKS
Second Big Timberland Deal Within Year
Being COnsummated in Tyrrell, Dare and
Adjoining Counties; Timber Operations in
Tyrrell Shut Down This Week.

Big news in Tyrrell County this
week is that the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper Company is buying
out the holdings of the Richmond
Cedar Works, largest land owner,
and largest industry in Tyrrell
County, and this news indicates
the pump company is on its way
toward being the biggest, or near
to it, of landowners in North Car
DINA. Last year it bought the 1885,
000-acre Maloof property in Dare
County for $1,340,000. The Tyrrell
acreage of the Cedar Works totals
more than 10000 acres of timber
land, and the company is also sell
ing its Dare County land listed at
1886 acres.
The Richmond Cedar Works,
whose logging operations causes
employment OF some 200 or more
men, has notified its men that it is
shutting down this week, and the
many logging crews, motor trucks,
and other equipment now comes to
halt while negotiations are be-
ing closed.
The Cedar Works is also report
ed to be selling acreage owned by
it in Hyde, Washington and other
counties. The total acreage owned
by it in North Carolina probably
exceeds the acreage of the Maloof
property.
Meanwhile, the pulp company
is continuing with legal action
to Torrenize the property in Dare
County, having published notice
now for some two months describ-
ing the property to which it hopes
to perfect title. Numerous owners
of land on the mainland of Dare
County are taking exception to
some of the company's claims, and
! have employed attorneys to pro-
tect their interest. Only few days

otherwise, the claims set forth by
the company will be established in
the court.
The Cedar Works in Tyrrell
County has for many years been
the county's biggest industry, and
its logging operations have employ
ed hundreds of men. 1t has also
been the county's biggest taxpay-
er, and its annual property taxes
have run from $4,000 to $4,000
year. 1t has also been a big tax
payer in Dare County.
The Cedar Works has property
listed in Tyrrell as follows: Gum
Neck Township, 1891 acres, val
ued at $173,888; Columbia Town
ship, 1924 acres, valued at $126-
030; South Fork Township, 349

THIEVES ENTER
PAUL DYKSTRA
ESQ STATION
Get Money, Merchandise
Ship to Shore Radio in
Saturday Raid

Mays Head.-County, state and
federal law enforcement officers
joined this week in an effort to
find the culprits who broke into
Paul Dykstra's service station here
Saturday night. At least 500 in
money and merchandise was tax
en-.
10 enter the service station,
which stands in the fork of the
Oregon Inlet road and Highway
15S, the providers broke the glass
in an east window. In doing so,
one of them cut a hand and left
telltale drips of blood on the cash
register and at the front door. He
also used some bills in the cash
register to wipe off the blood, then
crammed them back in the register.
Although the cash register was
unlocked, an effort was made to
pry it open before it was discover
ed that this was unnecessary.
About $40 in money was taken.
In addition, cartons of cigarets,
several flashlights and a handful
of Phillie cigars were taken. These
evidently were crammed into a
booksack belonging to Mr.. Dyks-
tra's son. The books were left in
side the building and the booksack
was found just outside the broken
window.
The robbers also took ship to
shore radio which belonged to
George Dykstra, brother of Paul
Dykstra.
The station was closed at $50
Saturday night. About IL o'clock
neighbor saw light there, but
thought nothing of it. The loss was
not discovered until Sunday morn
ing, when Dykstra opened the sta
ton. He Immediately called Sher-
If Frank Cahoon, who in turn call
ed in Walter Spence of Elizabeth
City, an SBI man, to take finger
prints. The following day an FBI
representative, R. T. Wood, came
into the case.
Dykstra said the break-in prob
ably was the work of adults, for
children would have been attract
ed to supplies of candy. On the
other hand, he said, the job did not
appear to be the work of profess
SIGNALS, since fngerprints were left
freely and the merchandise taken
was limited in amount and value.

How to Heal Separations in Walls
By Douglas Tuomey

Frame houses Chose built Of
wood are bound to shrink with
the years. When a house is
being built, and there is wet
season during the construction,
the lumber Swells. When the
carpenters cut this wood. the
lengths are sure to be a bit
longer than they will be after
the lumber dries thoroughly.
AS a result we have shrink
age. This occurs in the heavy
framing timbers, in the rough
flooring and in the wall-studs.
After the plaster is applied
and the lumber starts to shrink.
something has to give way, and
it is usually the plaster.
Most of the time this takes
place in the joints between CELL
ing and walls, between walls and
floors and over doorways or
other wall openings. These gaps
in the plaster are unsightly and

The assumption is. the agen-

ber of homes expected TO, be
started in 1858 will cost S

and there, working up cracks
continuously.
The best remedy for cracks
which appear between walls and
ceilings in these cases is to in
stall a band Of wood, four to
six inches wide, all around the
top of the walls, and close up
to the ceiling. This hides and
covers the cracks permanently
and when properly painted to
match the walls is not bad look
ing. In place of the wide wood
strip, a heavy, cove molding
can be used.
Work of this kind is very
simple as it involves only
straight wood cutting and nail
ing, and any homeowner can box
in the walls of the average room
in a short time.

Senator Stennis. Democrat,
of Mississippi. and Representa-
tive Eberharter, Democrat, Of
Pennsylvania, also favored
realistic" salaries for legislators
and judges. They were the first
of some 80 witnesses at the sec
ond day of hearings by a special
commission studying congress
sional and judicial salaries.
Attorney General Brownell,
Eric Johnston, former economic
stabilizer; Chief Judge Bolitha
j. Laws of the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia; Arthur j. Goldberg, CIO
general counsel, and w. Cameron
Burton. president Of the District
Bar Association, were among

afternoon.
Questionnaires Answered.
The commission disclosed that
it has sent a QUESTIONABLE to
every member of Congress and
Federal judges asking for infor-
nation about their current in
comes, possible outside earnings
and comparative data concern
ing their income prior to taking
,, the Federal position. The COM
mission announced that it al
ready has received more than
200 replies and that no one has
yet refused to answer.
Mr.. Ramspeck told the COM
mission that he left Congress
several years ago because he
could not save money from his
salary. Living expenses and
other financial burdens of men,
bers of Congress have increased
greatly even during the last
seven years. he reported.
Members of Congress work
longer hours than do most busi-
ness executives, he said. "Osten-
tatious living by members of
Congress in Washington is the
exception rather than the rule.
Their salaries should be at least
| $25 900 a year and I would sug-
/ gest that it be $4,000.

proposal seeking the State Board

press-sponsored resolution max
ing Virginia Juvenile Court rec

was tabled indefinitely by the

The action came because men,

The speech held that making
juvenile records available would
be similar to opening relief roles

John H. Colburn, managing
editor of the Richmond Times

whelmingly favor salary in

many Congressman are very
timid" about voting pay raises
for themselves because they fear
ridicule and possible defeat in
their districts.
Members Of Congress have
been ort-changing themselves
while facing up to the problems
of the Nation and the world he
declared. IF they take their
case in an open-handed man
ner to the people. the public
will support realistic increases in
the light Of similar pay scales
in industry and the prs, essions. .
Senator Stennis described
what he called the greatly in
creased work of members of
Congress and the many addi-
tional expenditures they must
make out Of their own pockets
at all times during the year
if they are to keep in touch with
their constituents and acquaint
themselves with the immensely

tive problems.
