The Storm In Belhaven

Belhaven was better prepared
than previously, and thereby suf-
fered somewhat less damage Mon
day from lone than from Diane,
the August 18th hurricane. Strong
er winds were reported though, as
the center of the hurricane passed
just east of the town.
Greatly exaggerated reports of
the situation in Belhaven appeared
in some state papers, and relatives
of Belhaven residents were afraid
that the town had been almost
completely washed away.
Some residents voluntarily took
refuge in the Christian Church
and in the Belhaven High School,
where refugee centers had been
set up and stocked with food by
the Red Cross.
Many homes were again flooded
as the tide in most places came to
within about an inch of the height
it reached during Diane. Water
front homes in some instances re-
ceived damage from the pounding
surf. The pier at Rivert Forest
Manor, which was still undergoing
repairs from Connie and Diane,
was again damaged as several
sections were washed away.
Electricity was turned off Mon
day about 7 am, and came back
on about pm. Tuesday An aux
iliary gasoline-powered pump had
been installed to prevent Interrupt
ton of water pressure, but the
gas gave out, and as result salt
water went in the water mains.
The Belhaven schools reopened
Wednesday, but damage to the
lunchroom at John A. Wilkinson
High School made halliday ses-
sions necessary.
The scarcity of fresh food was
q problem Wednesday.

IT'S TIME TO STORE
YOUR SUMMER CLOTHES

Cold days and woolens are but a
few days away now, and accord
ing to Julia McIver, State College
clothing specialist, it's time to be-
gin storing away your summer
clothing until next years warm
season.
You needn't worry about moths
getting into your summer cottons
and linens and rayons-their appe-
tite is for woolens. However, you
may need to guard against silver
fish who feast upon starch or
cellulose materials like rayon and
cotton.
Store summer suits and dresses
clean, but unstarched, recommends
Miss McIver. Starch will only help
to attract siIverfish. U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture specialists
say that the best way to control
silverfish damage is to spray
closets, chests or garment bags
with a five per cent DOT surface
or residual spray. They add that
silverfish like warmth. During the
summer months they may confine
themselves to the attic, but when
it's cold, they may seek warmer
quarters downstairs.

BELHAVEN'S AVIATION
PIONEER NOW PREDICTS
HEATING WITHOUT FUEL

John M. Smith of Belhaven now
states that he has an idea that
homes will be heated without fuel
before the passage of many years.
A gimmick on top of the house
will draw electricity from the air
and this will provide all the neces-
sary heat, says Mr.. Smith. Give
been thinking about it some," he
says, "but Pm too old to try to
figure it out completely, and any
way, l reckon it would take about
a million dollars, and l haven't
got much money"
Mr.. Smith is known for his ex-
periments with an airplane in the
1905. 'If l had just had an en-
CINE, | know it would have flown"
he says, "but you know there were
no gasoline engines in those days"

BELHAVEN MAN
SAYS HE BUILT
FIRST AIRPLANE
Retired MilI-Man, Now 30. Says
His Invention Was Stolen
From Him

John M. Smith, 80 years old, re-
tired mill-hand Of West Belhaven,
says he feels sure he is the ,sue
inventor of the airplane, and that
he built such a plane before he was
19 years old, and during the ad-
rinistration of President Cleveland
in the COS.
"At that time l was working
around sawmill," Nh. Smith said,
"and 1 had very little money

it. If l had had had enough money
to buy me motor, even lutte

name of Curren & HouEzen. They
came into Pantego and stopped at
Walter Clark's house which he
ran near the railroad station. They
looked over, my model, and they
told me it wouldn't work because
the propeller was on the front end
That is the way now with most all
airplanes.
"Some of the folks around here
told me later that they believed
these men had been sent down by
the Wright Brothers, but l do not
say so. l have no reason to believe
so.
"But somebody did get my plane
from me. But l can prove by Jay
Bishop and other good meh in Bsl-
haven that had such plane. Why

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
OF SAFETY

1. Treat every gun with the re-
spect due loaded gun. This is the
first rule of gun safety.
2. Guns carried into camp or
home, or when otherwise not in
use, must always be unloaded, and
taken down or have actions open;
guns should be carried in cases to
the shooting area.
3. Always be sure barrel and
action are clear of distractions,
and that you have only ammunition
of the proper size for the gun you
are carrying. Remove oil and
grease from chamber before firing,
A. Always carry your gun so
that you can control the direction
of the muzzle, even if you stumble;
keep the safety on until you are
ready to shoot.
5. Be sure of your target before
you pull the trigger; know the
identifying features of the game
you intend to hunt.
6. Never point a gun at any
thing you do not want to shoot;
avoid all horseplay while handling
gun.
7. Unattended guns should be
unloaded; guns and ammunition
should be stored separately be-
yond reach of children and care
less adults.
8. Never climb a tree or fence
or jump a ditch with loaded gun;
never pull a gun toward you by the
muzzle.
9. Never shoot a bullet at a
flat, hard surface or the surface
of water; when at target practice,
be sure your backstop is adequate.
10. Avoid alcoholic drinks before
or during shooting.

the Elizabeth City paper comment

September 80, 1880.
"In all the history of Dare Coun-

bridge across Currituck Sound is
an event the significance of which
is not to be measured by the half

the two or three hundred motor

AID FOR FARMERS
is TOPIC OF HYDE
MEET WEDNESDAY,
Senator Scott Meets With County
Hurricane Damage Commit
tee and Farmers

U. S Senator Kerr Scott and his
administrative assistant, Ben
Rooney, met in Swan Quarter We'd
nesday morning with the Hyde
County Hurricane Damage Com
mittee to work out steps to aid
the county's farmers, who have
been hard hit financially by four
hurricanes within the past year.
The meeting was attended by
about fifty farmers from through
out the county.
In the area of immediate relief,
the senator advised contracting the
State Commissioner of Agriculture
to obtain surplus commodities for
needy families-tha is food sup
plies and also feed for livestock.
The senator said he had found that
there was only a bare possibility
that any outright grants of money
could be secured.
Mr.. Scott explained how he be-
lieved the ASC would be able to
pay the full cost of gypsum and
lime for fields covered by water;
presently they will only pay 1870.
The senator's office is to get a
clearer Interpretation of the FILA
regulations for county officials;
two types of FILA loans are avail
able, a one-year emergency loan
at $50 and twenty-year loan at
$50. The FILA will not make loans
to refinance existing debts now,
however.
The group was told that crop
insurance will soon be made avail
able, either by the federal govern
ment or by private insurance COM
panies, to give farmers some as
surance of obtaining production
cost of crops planted.
The senator promised to investi-
gate the possibilities of construct
ing a system of bikes and flood
gates to protect the land from
flooding by high tides. This would
of course be long-range program.
Legislation now being prepared
would make some such projects
possible, under authority of the
state Department of Agriculture.
County agent Earl Topping is
chairman of the county Hurricane
Damage Committee, Leon Balance
is vice-chairman, and Vernon H.
Rankin, secretary. Other members
of the committee are T. V. Sim
mons, ]. C. Williams, Jr., G. w.
O'Neal, R. L. Gibbs, Ray M. Spen-
Ger, J. C. Bishop, H. L. Sadler, and
j. M, Worrell. The committee was
organized at the request of the
governor after hurricanes Connie
and Diane and held their first
meeting on September 5.
Senator Scott and Mr.. Rooney,
accompanied by their wives, ar
rived in the county Tuesday night
and spent the night at Mattamus-
keet Lodge. Wednesday morning,
prior to the meeting in Swan Quar-
ter, they visited the Fairfield area
to inspect a proposed drainage
project already approved by the
federal government.
