AND THEY CUT DOWN
THE OLD PINE TREE
The Touching Story of the Passing
of A Great Monarch of the
PungO River Forest
By CARLTON MORRIS


When the first settlers came up
tht Pungo River many years ago
one of the first things to attract
their attention was the pines.
Both shores were lined up with
pine trees. Virgin timber that had
never been touched, but in little
while, man, as usual began to
destroy until the present genera
ton calls pine tree big if it mea-
sures "a inches around the trunk.
AS they came up the river into
what we now call Crabtree Bay,
they noticed among the tall pines
one that stood head and should
ers above its fellows. No doubt
that after this section of Hyde
County was settled and sawmills
came into being, many timber
men looked at this giant tree
with murder in their hearts, but
its very size saved it. No one had
a mill big enough to handle it.
So it lived on.
When I was just a lad, one Of
the greatest joys of farming came
when the crop was laid by and
my father would take me fishing.
Every year when we fished in
Crabtree Bay I would question
him about the big trees size and
height. Finally one Sunday a
group of boys, including myself,
went to see this great tree. AS
l gazed straight up to the top I
saw the clouds making by. I turn
ed and ran yelling to my COM
panions, run" I yelled, run for
your life; the tree is falling" "
After a while we ventured back
and saw our mistake.
was away from Hyde County
for twelve years. When 1 return
ed, one of the first landmarks l
looked for was the Old Pine Tree.
The once mighty monarch of the
Forest had been cut down. 1t
seems as though Tightening
struck it several years back and
killed it. So a lumberman bought
it and cut it down, but here again
arose the problem of how to
move it and where was a mill big
enough to saw it into lumber?
AS yet none has been found.
1t measured over nine feet
across the stump before the sap
rotted away and lowered over 100
feet in the air. The first limbs
were as large as our ordinary
mill logs of today. l wouldn't dare
venture guess as to its age.
couldn't help the tight feeling in
my throat as looked at this
great tree lying there, fallen
monarch that had stood aloft
through dauntless decades of
storms and sunshine.

OSTSCRIPTS
BY VANN LATHAM

Back when l was age 10 or
maybe a little more, and when
live decoys were used at the Lake
in Turing geese to the blind, l
KO'ed one of Pat Simmons's de-
coys, not being able to tell the
tame item from the real thing.
And speaking of goose decoys,
we hear tell of another story. 1t
seems that a certain local young
man was out hunting the big
birds one day recently, using
brand new (and expensive) de-
coys. He was accompanied by
several friends from out of town
who were anxious to get a shot.
The hunters had not been in
place long before the geese began
honking and coming toward the
blind. Also coming toward the
blind-via the ground-were a
small bunch of hogs.
1t began to look as if there was
going to be a conflict.
The geese came nearer-honk-
ing quieter-, and the hunters
heads were lowered and all was
still on the ground with the eX-
ception of an occasional grunt
from one of the hogs). Soon a
large flock of birds was directly
overhead, and many eyes were
looking for a safe place to land.
No one dared move a hair, for
fea rof soaring the sharp-eyed
geese away.
The oinks and the grunts from
the hogs were now very close
just about as far away as the
decoys. Indeed, the hogs We're in
the decoys.
What to do?????
A quick look at the decoys
showed that the hogs could moi
tell the paper goose from the
real thing-at least, not without

For weeks, representatives of
the National Park Service have
combed the North Carolina
countryside, and antique shops
up and down the east coast, in
search of items to refurnish the
buildings as they were originally.
One of the first items collected
was a large frying pan, which
was purchased for thirty-five
cents. Commercial artists are
copying labels of the canned
goods that lined the shelves of
the Wright Brothers kitchen, but
are no longer on the market.
When the reconstruction is
completed, the site will be roped

At this time, the historic site will

a few bites. And a move to run
the hogs away would surely scare
the geese.
"Shoot! Shoot!", cried the
young hunter ,as big sow bit
the head off a 81 decoy.
Results of this affray:
No geese fell from the flock.
The hogs were scared away.
The decoys: slightly damaged.

The story is told of two C.
from the midwest who never
had seen body of water greater
than a small creek. Shipping
from west coast port on a troop
transport at night, they came on
deck the next morning out of
sight of land. The broad Pacific
stretched endlessly in all direc-
tions. One G.. I. turned to the
other and said, ''Bill, amt never
seen so much water before in all
my life!" Bill looked out to the
horizon and scratched his head
a moment. "Tll tell you what,
joe" he replied, "You know you
and me amt seein' no water at
all. We're just seein' the top of
it."

1t is easy to judge by scanning
the surface. Often, underneath.
are shoals and depths that should
be known and understood. The
men and women we admire do
not accept surface appearances
only. They do not accept an
others opinion until they have
looked beneath the surface.
There they find real motives
and backgrounds that help them
understand and appreciate that
which they see on the surface.
And we admire them for it. 1t is
our right and duty as free men
and women to look beneath the
surface and form our own opin-
ions. It is privilege men have
died to obtain.

US. Bend Sales Increase

Ohio sales of Series E and
H Savings Bonds during July
showed a slight increase over
purchases for the same month
a year ago to keep the states
month by month record of
greater sales intact, Charles H.
Hall, Chairman, Geauga County
Savings Bond Committee, said
today. Sales in Geauga County
for last month were $24,600,
compared to July, 1852, invest
ment of $4,000.
The last month in which Ohio
failed to show an increase was
in November, 1852, and this
was the only month in the 49,
month period to show a de-
crease. Total sales of the two
bonds in July, 1858, were S21,-
859,257 and compare to $2i,-
534 $3.50 for the same month last
year.
Largest dollar gains for the
month came from the following
metropolitan counties: Summit,
Franklin, Lucas, and Mahoning
Chairman Hall said that cash
values of Series E and H Bonds
held by individuals in United
States on June 80, 1858
reached $50, 6,O48, 900, 900, which
is one-and-a-half billion dollar:
more than the cash value of Z
Bonds held on May /, 1881
when they began to mature.
