through his influence in Wash
ington that the Coast Guard Air
Station was located at Elizobeth
City. He was able to get the ears
of the people in Washington who
made decisions and he saw to it
that his District benefited there
by.
When the late Presid e n t
Franklin D. Roosevelt looked
around for someone to fill the
vacancy which had existed in the
Comptroller Generals office for
some time, his eye fell on Lind
say Warren, the congressman
from the First District of North
Carolina. Three times Lindsay
declined the offer of appointment
to the high office, but President
Roosevelt was persistent, and the
fourth time the offer was almost
command. So Lindsay Warren
accepted the appointment. He
had been nominated for his ninth
successive term as Congressman,
but he resigned the office to be-
come Comptroller General.
The record of Lindsay Warren
as Comptroller General has been
typical of all his work as a public
servant. He has completely re-
organized the office and brought
it out of a state of chaos into a
well organized, smooth operating.
efficient government agency that
has saved the taxpayers hundreds
of millions of dollars during his
tenure. He took it out of the red
and made it more than self-sus-
tanning.
The influence of Lindsay War
rem, although he will not be pre-
sent, will be felt in the Comp
trollers Generals office for a
long time to come, and the people
of the United States owe him
debt of gratitude for what he has
done.

It is with sorrow and gladness,
too, that we learn of the coming
retirement of Lindsay c. War
rem as Comptroller General of
the United States. Sorrow be-
cause the country is losing a
valuable public servant of which
there are so few in these days;
glad because we know Mr.. War
ren's health will not stand the
pressure that is required of him
in such an important office, and
he will be able to ease up.
Lindsay Warren has been a
valuable man to North Carolina
and the whole nation during the
long years of service he has been
in Washington.
When he was first elected to
Congress as a representative
from the First District he was a
young man. We remember well
the campaign in which he was
nominated for the office. But his
youth did not keep him from
quickly gaining the confidence
and respect of officials high in
government circles, who recog-
nized the unusual ability Of this
young congressman from North
Carolina. This recognition, coupl-
ed with his ability and knack for
getting things done, proved OF
unreasonable value both to his
district and his state. Through
his connections he was able to
WELD influence that paid off for
his constituents.
Lindsay Warren was response

tages rather than seeking to tear
down and detract from its neigh
bors. Truly now, some five miles
from Manteo, the first English
settled. We will have to leave
Manteo out of the line; we must
say Fort Raleigh. But actually
the first landing of The English
was made before there was Fort
Raleigh and, of course, centuries
before there was Manteo.
Let us be above being little in
spirit and in mind if we cannot
help our stature. There is glory
enough for all of us to share. The
fame that the Wrights brought to
us, which has enriched us beyond
favor, was the doing of none of
us, but it was perhaps out of the
goodness of God, to our people.
Destiny has favored us indeed,
not by any of our own people
bringing it about, but by those
from far away, and from other
places, have come those to help
us to capitalize ON our good his
tory. Let us all be proud that
this great renown has come to our
county; that its luster sheds a
warming glow on all its people,
on all of North Carolina and
particularly on our Dare County.
Let us resent efforts to tear down
our community and let us dis
courage any thought that our
people might have to tear down
any other community.

Q. What are some hints for nat

A. Never noisten your lips be-
fore applying lip rouge, as this
causes the rouge to roll and take
on a caked appearance. Always
make up the upper lip 1irst, then
gently but firmly close the mouth,
rolling the upper lip over the low
er, thus imprinting correct outline
on lower lip. Apply freely and re-
move excess by pressing and blot
ting with tissue. To obtain a clear,
well-defined lip line, use lipStick

@. How can keep my garments

A. A good idea is to tuck some

your travelling bags. Luggage that
