In the natural sciences, de-

Mr.. Mitchell cited the demand

that gardenias require consid-

CHILD PROBLEM
Here are some Of the answers
to Mrs. G. S., Arlington, who
wanted advice on getting o
child to stay In his own bed
and go. to sleep at night.
Mrs. F. E. H., Washington,
who says she has had no per.
sonal experience with the
problem. suggests that the lit
tie boy is trying to regain love
he feels he has lost because
of the new baby. Therefore.
she recommends that Mrs.
C. s. create small tasks that
he could do for her, especially
helping with the care Of the
baby. so that he viii feel
needed.
Mrs. P. J. Y. Hyattsville. had
the same problem with her
daughter and ended up by re-
decorating her room, letting
the little girl pick the color Of
the walls, choose curtains, de-
Gals on the furniture, etc. The
result was that she wanted to
stay In her room. and no long

recall this much beloved Scotch
comedian, who for many years
had q series of farewell tours,
and each tour was billed as
positively his last and final

about the age Of your child,
no matter what we did to keep
her in bed it didn't work. The
child would be full Of pep and /,
her father and I would be ex-
hausted. Finally we just let
her roam and allowed her to
fall asleep any place it suited
her fancy. After she was fast
asleep we carried her into her
room and put her to bed. This
treatment didn't 60 on for
very long before the Farewell
Tours were no more. Now that
our daughter is Is we have had
many q laugh about the hard

The writing on greeting

by a bit of cloth moistened in
clorox and passed lightly over
the writing. This does not re-
move writing in indelible ink
or pencil, though. Before the

in the Goodrich Girls School,

tuition by selling reprocessed
cards sent by those in churches
here interested in this Amer

fowl is beginning to arrive on
the coast of northeastern North
Carolina. There have been re-
ports Of several flocks of teal and
in the Currituck Sound region a
few Canada wild geese have
shown up during the past few
days.
This would indicate that the
1854 migratory wildfowl season
will be up to par in Northeastern
Carolina waters.
The migratory wildfowl season
this year begins ON November 10.
Already some of the hotels and
guides in the Mays Head, Kitty

SHOW DOWN ON
SCHOOL JANITOR
EXPECTED TUES.
Jim Lamb Farrow's Case Be-
fore Dare County Board
of Education

The meeting Tuesday of the
Dare County Board of Education
next week is expected to have
an issue before it beside the let
ting of the contract for the Cape
Hatteras High School, which is
due to come up also.
Jim Lamb Farrow, the plod-
ding janitor of the Manteo High
School is expected to- be the sub
ject of excitement this time.
Farrow, was summary fired off
his job during the summer, fol-
lowing disagreement with Rob
ert o. Balance, a member of the
county Board of Education who
lives at Manteo.
1t seems that Balance went to
the school and found damage to
floors resulting from rain having
come in through a window left
open during the night, and he
took Farrow to task. Farrow's
argument was that he had no
way of knowing the window was
left open, as the school had been
freely used by members of the
Lost Colony organization, and it
may have been due to the over
sight of someone in this group
that the window was left open.
incidentally it might be added
that the school is used freely by
the Lost Colony group, who do
not have to pay anything. not
even for the lights
Balance is reported to have
called Jim Lamb black son of
bitch or words of similar stand
ing, and Farrow began to talk
back sassy. Balance lost his
temper more and told him he
was fired.
Farrow apparently is highly
regarded as janitor, in fact
many people say he has been do
ing a good job, and numerous
people appealed direct to Walter
Perry, the Board Chairman, who
lives at Kill Devil Hills. Perry
took the view that Balance had
no authority to fire Farrow in
this manner, and he wrote let
ter to- Mrs. Evans, the county
superintendent, directing her to
put Farrow back to work until
such time as the whole Board of
Education might consider the
matter
Balance and his friends are
reported to be squaring away for
making an issue of the case.

HUNTING DATA
ANNOUNCED
ON w. VA. LANDS
Deer and Bear Season Begins
October 18th On Dare
Mainland
BY AYcocK BROWN

West Virginia Pulp and Paper
Company officials announced
this week that hunting privileges
on their vast acreage in Dare
County would be the same this
year as in previous seasons. The
big game hunting season this
year begins on October IS, for
deer and bear.
'Our Company will issue per-
mits to all hunters who have
purchased their local, state or
nonresident licenses" said Will
liam Ernst, general manager of
the paper company's holdings
here in northeastern North Caro-
lima. "The permits will be sold at
81 each and they will be avail
able at East Lake, Manns Harbor
and Stumpy Point, the three
communities at the approach to
our Dare woodlands"
In issuing the permits rep
resentatives of West Virginia
Pulp and Paper Company will
caution all hunters to be careful
of fires and printed instructions
on how to prevent forest fires
will be given with each permit.
Prospects are very good for
big game hunters in the great
woodlands of this coastal county
this season. That is because
there have been no disastrous
forest fires.
Already many persons driving
over routes 264 and "a which
pass through the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper Company wood
lands have reported seeing deer
and bear and only Sunday a
large buck was accidentally kill
ed by motorist between East
Lake and MAINS Harbor. The
motorist claimed that he was
driving at the legal limit or less
when the buck plunged in front
of the car. The deer was turned
over to Game Protector w. S.
White at Manns Harbor whose
duty it will be to see that 1T
reaches an eastern prison camp
or some public institution.

DEMONSTRATION
FIRE FIGHTING
METHODS TUES.
Chamber of Commerce Spon-
sored Operation To Take
Place at Kitty Hawk

A demonstration of the latest
methods for fire fighting is
scheduled for next Tuesday al
2 pm, at Kitty Hawk just north
of the. village road. The equip
ment will be shown by Fire
Chief Early of the Tanners
Creek district of Norfolk. Mod
ern equipment for fire fighting,
ambulance service, and drown
ing cases are scheduled to be
demonstrated during the after
noon.
Chief Early has stated that
such an operation could be done
on a yearly basis for around
$4,000, should the public be in
terested enough in getting a sta
ton established. This figure
would include all equipment,
supplies, labor and anything else
necessary for proper operation.
A chamber of commerce
spokesman stated on Wednesday
that $4,000 would amount to ap-
proximately one-half of one per
cent of the county taxes now
levied for that area. A great saw
ing should be realized through
reduced rates in fire insurance,
and over a period of time
amount to Substantial savings,
plus the safety of having a near
by station. If the station is put
into operation, it is planned for
the center of the beach, to serve
all calls quickly.
To establish the station would
require that petition be drawn
up and signed by a representa-
tive number of property owners
in the Mays Head-Kitty Hawk
Kill Devil Hills area, and the pc
tition turned over to Dare Coun-
ty. The county would levy the
necessary taxes and pay the bill.
