farmers were paid from $3.50 to

road would have to be cut from
the trees to the public road, de-

ing timber for which nothing was
charged or paid. A few pieces of
this lot were cut. in the hammock
near Primers Church, on the Joel

Der of this class of pines, the deep
rich, damp soil being favorable to
the growth of large trees. 1t may
be interesting to note, in this con-
nection, that 65 years ago, 1886,
when well was being dug a few
hundred yards from this hammock,
sound sassafras, or juiper, log
was found at a depth of 16 feet of
sand and clay above it. In 1877,
timber possessed but little value in
Northampton. Ten years later
when the Seaboard extended its
Boykins-Lewiston branch through
here, our people had not learned
its value. Millions of feet were sold
at and below 10 cents a thousand
feet. Capitalists came and bought
the timber at from one to three
dollars pers acre, and much of it
would cut over 10000 feet per
acre"

In 1911 the Farmers Ginning

The tree was over 80 feet to the

METHODIST YOUTH GROUP
LAUNCHES FALL PROJECT

The Methodist Youth Fellowship
of Mt. Olivet Church in Manteo
has embarked on it's Fall Action
project, which runs from October
% through December IL. The
theme of this project is making
the World Community Christian" ,
and the emphasis is on missions,
overseas relief and world peace.
A number of activities have been
planned around this theme, the
first being a "Trick or Treat"
party. All MYF members, wearing
Identification badges and carrying
milk cartons, will knock on door;
in the community on Saturday
night Oct. 10Th, and instead of the
usual Halloween treats, they will
reqest money to go to buying
powdered milk to be sent overseas
through the CROP agency. Then
they will return to the church for
a Halloween party. 1t is hoped that
everyone in the community will
cooperate in making this part of
their project a success.
On Sunday night, October 30,
another phase of this project is a
presentation of the dramatization
"Windows of the World, which is
designed to inform the congrega-
tion of the various uses to which
MYF money is put. This will be
presented at the worship hour at
7:3O pm. and a full attendance is
desired.

school. But some of them now
greatly fear the voters will not
stand for the additional taxes, if
the courthouse and Jail scheme
goes through first.
Citizens of Manteo are also con-
templating a vote on a similar
bond issue for bigger school at
Manteo, and they now find them
selves in the same boat with Kitty
Hawk, and their hopes going a
glimmering.
The Dare Beaches, sadly in need
of safe and adequate water sys-
tenn, contemplate another vote on
bond issue to put in a water
works serving the entire develop
ed area of Mays Head and Atlantic
townships, but it looks like the
voters will become too jittery to
even consider this favorably.
In short, if the county board had
set out with the intention Of
blocking the schools and water
works measures, they could not
have found a more effective way,
than their stubborn and stupid
laundering along with the court
house and Jail scheme.
Wouldn't Consider Hospital
While the people of the area
have clamored for doctors for
years, and have learned that doc
tors are locating in communities
which have hospitals, the county
commissioners refused completely
to take any steps toward consid-
ering financing hospital in Dare
County with the $4,000 idle cash
that is now setting them on fire
to get busy spending it.
With $4,000 on hand that didn't
cost the taxpayers a cent, the
county might have gotten another
100000 donated that it wouldn't
have had to pay back at all, and
not twice, as will the Jail bonds.
But the Government and State
money would have had string to
it. 1t would have to be spent under
certain standards and conditions,
and the county officials wouldn't
have control of the handling of it.
There would be no opportunity to
pass it around to ensure the en-
ployment of political friends OF
relatives, such as the building of
Jail might offer. There are
great possibilities politically, in
handing out a hundred thousand
dollars of other peoples money
and next spring is going to be a
time when some of the officials
will need a little political help.
1t looks very much like the
school bond issues as we'll as the
waterworks project are headed
off, even before they get started
1t couldn't have been more eff
fectively done if it had been plan
ned that way.
