The Cape Hatteras Health Cen
ter Ladies Auxiliary will hold
their next meeting at 200 pm. on
Thursday, April 14th at the
schoolhouse in Hatteras. This will
be the first meeting of the Ladies
Auxiliary in Hatteras. The meet

WHY BEETLES RUIN
TIMBER IF CUT AT
CERTAIN SEASONS

Ralelgh.-The Fps bark beetle
is causing cumberland owners in
many sections of North Carolina
to lose large numbers of trees,
Robert L. Scheer, pest control
specialist for the Department of
Conservation and Developments
forestry division, said today.
The attack of this small brown
to black beetle has been so severe
that State Forester Fred Claridge
recently declared Union and An
son counties and parts of Cabar-
rus and Stanly as "zones of in
festation" under authority given
him by State Law.
Scheer, describing how the
beetle attacks and how best to
combat it, said the Ips beetle
bores into the bark and, beneath
it, "eat out" tunnels along which
they lay their eggs. The young
worms or larvae which hatch from
the eggs continue to feed on the
inner bark, finally killing the
tree by girdling it.
The heaviest outbreak of this
insect known at the present time
is in southern Georgia, where,
during 1854, seven counties suf-
fered loss of over 35 million
board feet of standing timber as
a result of it's attacks, Scheer
said. This represents enough lum-
Der to build almost 5000 average
sized five-room frame houses.
Timber land owners in this area
of the State must be on the alert
to halt new attacks whenever they
occur and to stop the spread of
already established infestations.
Without immediate and continu-
ing effort losses similar to those
in Georgia can occur in North
Carolina.
The severe drought conditions
of the past three years have
weakened the pines and decreased
their ability to Withstand the bark
beetle attacks. In addition, spring
and summer wild fires, over-graz-
ing and logging operations have
contributed to the increase of
these beetles in local areas. If
drought conditions continue, tim
berland owners should be on the
lookout for increased killing of
pines during the coming spring
and summer.
The following control measures
are recommended to timberland
owners, especially during drought
periods:
AZ Avoid cutting operations in
pine forests during extended dry
periods. Large populations of Ips
bark beetles breed in the slash and
are likely to spread to nearby
living pines.
b. If pine must be cut during
warm, dry weather, use the trees
down to as small a diameter as
possible. Lop and scatter the re-
naming slash in openings so it
will dry out as fast as possible.
e. Keep fires out and avoid
over-grazing in pine stands. Avoid
blowing or construction work near
pines where such activities are
likely to disturb the tree roots.
.d) If tree killing occurs, salvage
infested pines as rapidly as pos
sible. Avoid cutting green trees in
which there are no signs of
beetles. Pile and burn the slash or
spray it with benzene hexachloride
in fuel oil.
elf salvage is impractical, arti-
ficial control measures with chem
ical sprays may be necessary to
prevent further timber losses.
f. In all cases, be on the alert
for new outbreaks so that control
measures may be applied while
the outbreaks are still small.
Once they have developed too far,
direct contact measures may be-
come too extensive.

Jobseekers Plague Safety Engineer Who Will Build NATO Bases In Iceland

GREENSBORO, N. C., ,R m Henry Brosius leaves by plane, to- day for Iceland, as good a way as any to escape the hordes who want to follow him for fat-sal- aried jobs.
 Brosius,i safety engineer, has been beseiged ever since the Greensboro Daily News reported he wanted high-paid aides to help build Iceland air bases for NATO countries He finally had to call on an employment agency to han. dle his dozens of applications so. he could finish packing.
 The story mentioned that jobs were available at $1O,000 to $12,000 a year, plus virtually all expenses. One catch is that per sonnel quarters have no provision for women or children, 50 married men would have to park their families elsewhere.
