bounty will be a thing of the past

HAMMERS AND SAWS ON HATTERAs ISLAND.

There may be slowing down of building in some areas
but there Hatteras Island This weeks activity
vea many tourist facilities under construction or enlarge
ment Some of them of the most modern type Most OF
them being built by citizens of the island who thereby
bear witness their faith in the future of their homeland
and the wonderful opportunity for business that will
through the promotion and development of the great
Seashore Park underway in this area.
Due to misunderstanding resulting from mlsntorma-
ton that spread by and behalf of landowners some
of whom did live the island who without regard for
the future of the people, but only for possible profits in real
estate there considerable opposition the part of
citizens to this project Many of them feared the loss OF
long cherished privileges Now many of them admit they
msled by their acceptance of the claims of their local
ieutenants greedy neighbors most of whom them
selves expecting great gains from the tourist business
the park will bring
And while not all of them completely convinced the
park what they want most of them have accepted it
inevitable and are, with resourcefuness and
investing heavily property that will bring them not only
profits but will also help to make the park
1t is great tribute to the people of Hatteras Island
that they investing heavily in the future of their is
land They doing big job in labor and money They
waiting for outsiders and take the of
the business They going to get their share of it, and
they proving that they expect to get by giving their
customers the finest of service and accommodations
There moral to be in situations of this kind
The who seeks only profits for himself will eventually
wind with nothing ese and maybe not too much of SUCH
But those who in the long work for the benefit of all
may well expect to be remembered long after the greedy
have been forgotten.

been instrumental in deciding the
verdicts in such cases have not
thought of it in such a light, but
when they acquit a defendant in
such a case, where the evidence
at times has been practically in
disputable, they become not only
negligent in their sworn duty as
jurymen, but also contributors to
delinquency on the highways.
BY acquitting a defendant
when all the evidence points to
his guilt, as has been done in the
courts of this and other sections,
jurors are encouraging drivers to
break the law by driving when
they are drunk or under the in
fluence of intoxicants.
In making the statement we
mean that man will look lightly
at the law and not hesitate to
drive when drunk, because he
believes he has a very good
chance of biting acquitted if he is
caught, by demanding and get
ing jury trial. They have seen
it happen so often they are will
ing to take chance.
When jurors realize they have
sworn duty to uphold the law
in cases that come before them;
when they realize that in dealing
with a drunken driver they are
dealing with a man who took the
most dangerous weapon at his
command and jeopardized and
threatened the lives of everyone
riding in an automobile on the
highway-and then bring in fair
verdicts in consideration of the
evidence presented, then we will
have less drunken driving on the
highways and streets.
There is mandatory law now
that when a person is convicted
of drunken driving his permit is
automatically revoked. This is a
good law, and will have its effect
if the juries will uphold it. Let a
man know that he will be con-
victed if caught driving drunk,
and he will think twice before
slouching under the wheel of his
car when he is drinking.

enjoying the summer sun. After
the dust and noise had cleared
the baby still looked asleep but
it would never waken for inter
nal injuries and shock from the
blast had killed it. A woman
sitting by the window in another
house was killed by cannon fire.
These things became not un-
usual and as in wars anywhere,
one picked out the brave and
amusing incidents to keep upper
most as topics of conversation.
People had to, for to dwell too
much on the dead and MANNED
the dirt, anxiety and tiredness,
was to head for a breakdown
where you became one more
weight on somebody else's al
ready overburdened nerves.
Another hit and run raid left
many children killed. They had
been attending Sunday school in
the church that was bombed. The
Devon fields and gardens have
bloomed again many times, as
have those of Europe, yet people
are still being shattered and
others weeping because of war. /
wonder how many more springs
must pass by before mankind,

learns that Love thy neighbor
as myself can and will lead to
the end of wars.

60 SECONDS OF

By Fred Dodge
TEXT: You can preach a better
sermon with your life
than with your lips"
- Goldsmith
BY Fred Dodge

A begger picked out a kindly
appearing gentleman and made
a plea for small sum of money.
When the beggar had finished
his tale of woe and misery, the
gentleman replied,
"My friend, I have no money,
but I can give you some good
advice"
1.-THE beggar was disguised. eff
you amt got no money" he jeer-
ed, 81 reckon your advice amt
worth hearin".
Judgments of value differ. We
build mental or moral platform
of timbers that please us. From
it we deliver advice on how
others have different ideas of
platforms that they would like
to build. If their platforms do
not injure us, what right do we
have to criticise them? Rather
than condemn them for their diff
ferent opinions, how much better
it is to build our platforms so
beautifully and live on them so
serenely and happily that our
neighbors will aspire to follow
our examples. More men are
convinced by example than by
lectures. Ben Franklin wrote,

ant and she says nothing"
