here with the model of a windmill
been able to set forth any gem
orally acceptable theory as to
where the mill stones came from.
There is just no record that l
have been able to discover and
biologists who have examined
specimens of the stones came
from many sources. Some of them
are definitely European, some of
New England, some from those
curious stone quarries in Craven
and Onslow counties where the
formation in it's natural state can
be cut with an ordinary knife
and, after exposure to the air, it
hardens to a flinty fixity.
From my very earliest recollec-
ton the grist mill has been DOM
inant interest. This was the first
powered thing that ever saw and
when l came to this Island first,
now 80 years ago, l brought with
me a sort of conditioned wonder
about where they got their grind
ing done. Since l began residence
here l have confined in wonder
about and have from time to time,
made tentative inquiries of an
oblique sort / had long since
learned that direct inquiry serves
no sensible purpose anywhere.
Windmills, yes, there used to be
windmills. But nobody, somehow,
remembered very much about
them. But in this region you learn
patience and you get to know that,
sometime, the thing will appear.
But it never had occurred to me
that l would owe so profound a
debt to the late DR.. Collier Cobb,
or that l might begin to know him
anew on somewhat casual visit
tc the Mariners Museum in New
port News, where Dudley Bagley
and l had gone for days outing.
There Was Picture
Casually enough John Lockhead,
the librarian there, got out some
of the Collier Cobb pictures, made
from negatives done on visits to
the Outer Banks beginning back
in the late 1880s. And there was
the windmill picture, which ap-
pears herewith. Lockhead gave me
a print of it, or rather we traded
for one. He has added to an al
ready magnificent collection some
stuff of my own done in this
country during the past 35 years.
DIR. Cobb had, insofar as l have
been able to discover, taken the
only picture in existence of a
North Carolina windmill.
And with that picture I went
very casually about the Island. In
every village, when anybody of the
age of 10 or above saw the picture
he began to remember the wind
mills in this village or that.
Up in Avon a good dozen old
timers recognized the picture of
the Bateman Miller mill, Some
were of the opinion that it might
have been the Farrow Scarborough
mill, also in Avon. Nearer home,
in Buxton, Kit Midgett's, when he
came down from the attic with
Garfield's preserved horns-Gar-
field was a fabulous OK current in
Capt. Midgett's boyhood--he was
sure that it must be one of the two
windmills that were in this village.
Rocky Robinson was sure it was
the mill down in Frisco-"or one
just like it."
And so the story--the stories
began to come tumbling out of
their long hiding, their forgotten
ness. There was this one about
Bateman Miller and whether it
was himself or his son who was
reefing the sail that day when the
wheels Inadvertently started to
rotating. And some dozens more,

Germany and the Paris Pocts
Bundestoo's Ratification of Treaties Accomplished
Only After Emotional Appeal From Adenouer

free Bonn republic Is likely %
be in political turmoil for
months.
The Paris pacts have not
brought the German and
French people any closer.
There is a strong and possibly
unjustifled suspicion in West
Germany that the French will
show no haste or enthusiasm
to urge the Russians to unite
the divided former Reich. A
confederation could have done
away with the centuries-old
jealousies and rivalries be-
tween the two neighbors. But
mere participation in a coali-
ton to oppose the USSR
which many Frenchmen do
not even consider as a poten-
tial enemy-will not bring
warmer feelings between the
antagonists on both sides Of
the Rhine.
Our friends across the At.
lantic are far more skeptical
about alliances and treaties
than we are. They have had
ample justification for this
skepticism. Over many CEN
turtles of wars and strife they
have changed sides frequently.
Allies became enemies and vice
versa almost overnight. We
regard alliances as something
sacred and permanent and do
our utmost to honor them and
keep them alive. The polit-
ically more sophisticated Eu-
ropeans view them merely as
expediencies and they shift
sides in keeping with what
they consider their national
interests.
This psychology explains
why the rank and file in
France and Britain are so
eager to accept ."coexistence"
with the USSR and also
why neutralism has taken such
deep roots in both countries.
The Germans are no different.
They feel strongly that West
Germany's participation in the
Western coalition does not
mean an actual improvement
in their relations with their
neighbors. They believe that
the Paris pacts were motivated
by expediency-the need Of
the NATO high command to
have additional manpower
which the other members Of
he coalition could not provide.

wer for it. Democrats claim

to disappear: the question Of
the Saar's economic attach
ment to France was unimpor-
tant; and the reunion of the
two Germanys would become
inevitable. All these hopes
vanished when the EDO was
torpedoed last summer and
replaced by the Paris pacts
whereby Germany becomes
one of the several components
Of a military coalition.
Treaties, agreements and
pactS Of all description have
lost their time -honored i'm
portance. They-have so often
been disregarded or openly
violated that not even the dip
lomats who negotiate and sign
them have much confidence
in their value. 1t is not surpris-
ing that the Paris pacts signify
little to the rank and file Of
Germans even though they re-
turn the republics sovereignty
and make the allied troops on
German territory only guests
Of the nation"
This frame Of mind explains
the hostility not only OF the
Adenauer political opponents
to his administration but also
that among members Of his
own coalition.
DR.. Adenauer's followers ap-
proved the Paris pacts after
his emotional appeal not to
renege on his solemn promises
given when he signed the
agreements. But the people are
not pleased with putting $780,
900 youths in uniform-which
they have been taught to de-
spise since the 1945 disaster
or the prospects of the coal
rich Saar Province remaining
an economic dependency of
France for the next SO years.
The Chancellor's opponents
say that If the partitioned
former Reich is to remain an
other national state in Europe
instead of becoming a COM
ponent part of great Western
confederation it is essential for
1t to be strong to survive.
Hence, they declare, it is i'm
perative to obtain reunion with
the portion now under Soviet
domination. And since DR..
Adenauer has no ready solu-
ton for this problem, they say
he must be replaced by some
one who can do the job. Thus
