During Hurricane "Ione" the
wreck of the Carroll E. Deering
was moved from Ocracoke Island,
broke in many pieces and only a
small portion washed up near Hat
teras Inlet. By the time the winds
and seas had Gained, one could
hardly see the remains of he wreck.
The wreck had sanded so badly
that it required two full days OF
digging and wrecker to salvage
the few pieces that is now on dis
play at balance Texaco Station
If the small portion of the wreck
had not been salvaged, no doubt il
would have been covered with SAND
or washed away like the remainder
has done.

Martz attempted to- explain the
Administrator effort to cut ex-
penses, balance the budget, and
possibly, even cut taxes.
"You don't understand" said
John. This is a giverment check
"But the government doesn't
have any money to give you OF
anybody else that it doesn't take
from the tax payer first" replied
Martz.
"Shucks," John bristled, "any-
body knows that the giverment
prints all the money. That's where
all the money comes frum. This
money comes frum the giverment.'
"Look at it this way, john" said
Martz patiently. eff what you say
is true, why does the federal gov
eminent require people to pay
taXes?"
"I've wandered about that too,''
John replied thoughtfully. "They
really amt no sense to it when
they got the machines to make the
money"

know their economics as we'll as

w. j. BAILEY BECOMES
PRESIDENT OF FOREST
CONSERVATION GROUP

New York.-W. j. Bailey, vice
president and director of West
Virginia Pulp and Paper Company
and long prominent in forest con-
servation activities, has assumed
the presidency of American Forest
Products Industries, Inc, to No
vember 1856.
APP is national sponsor of the
American Tree Farms system,
which encourages woodlands own
ers to practice good forestry, and
of the Keep America Green pro-
gram for forest fire prevention.
A trustee and former vice presi-
dent of APP, Mr.. Bailey has been
a strong force in furthering the
detectives of the organization for
nearly a decade, and has helped
formulate and direct the policies
which have made it one of the
most effective efforts of its kind
in the country.
In taking over his new office,
Mr.. Bailey praised the APPS
record of accomplishment in en-
couraging private woodland own
ers to grow trees as a continuous
crop and in making the public
aware of the achievements of
forest industries and timberland
owners. AS examples, he pointed
out that for the first time private
industry is growing more trees
than it cuts, or are destroyed by
fire and insects annually, and that
tax-paying farmers in 40 states
where Tree Farms systems have
been established are growing tim
Der crops on some 100000 acres
of well-managed woodland.
APP was organized in 1941 to
foster the philosophy of conserva-
ton among the nations wood-using
industries. Its National Advisory
Committee is made up of 40 prom
inent members from all segments
of wood-using industries, and
many of these members are, in
turn, chairmen of State Forest In
dustries Committees. Since 1851
twenty-nine of these forest com
mittees have been organized in as
many states.

SAYS KITTY HAWK PEOPLE
PUBLIC BEING MISLED

To the Editor:
Some of us who live in Kitty
Hawk feel that the public is not
getting a true picture about this
school business. 1t looks like some
of the articles that have been
wrote is done to stir up trouble.
About all of this trouble is caused
by new people who have come in
here, and many of them don't live
in Kitty Hawk neighborhood. We
don't have any record where they
did much for our schools before
now. Where have they been all the
time when we folks was working
and saving for our schools. We are
little suspicious Of folks who try
to work US up into hot anger about
taking our school away, when the
fact is some of them have been
trying hard themselves to move it
to Kill Devil Hills, or some other
place. Then they try to tell us the
County officials are against us,
and that we ought to move to
Currituck County.
Now l can tell these greenies and
newcomers about when we We're in
Currituck. We didn't have anything
to brag about and we surely have
been favored since we got in Dare
County. Well, Coralla and Pennys
Hill stayed in Currituck so just
look at them. Maybe they want us
to be like Coralla and Pennys Hill.
Another good thing is, if all We
got was paid for by what taxes We
citizens pay, it wouldn't give US
much. It's mostly summer people
on the other hand who pay the
taxes we enjoy the benefit of. They
are the ones who don't get much
for their money.
We people want school and we
want it here in Kitty Hawk where
it will be centrally located, where
there is some comfort and protec-
ton in the winter. Anybody knows
out on the open beach is no good.
Why didn't the State build the
datteras school at Avon. No, they
said it would not do out on the
bleak cold, open beaches. Why
trent we any better than those
people down there?
know lot of people have been
old the Kitty Hawk people are
agreeable to putting the school out
m the beach where the children
ant play OF they freeze to death,
out that is not true. This is all a
OF of steam roller mess, and all
ne mess that is being put in the
papers is just to stir up trouble
md let some Kill Devil Hills peo-
Die take over and run everything.
You know how it is about the
Wright Brothers. Some now don't
want Kitty Hawks name mention
I'd any more. How silly and trif-
ing; how little and stingy.
Now one more thing; l think
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1955-12-02

the complaints about the county
officers of Dare on this score is
unreasonable and foolish. What is
there to complain about? Haven't
they always sided with Kitty
Hawk: They even took Collenton
Island out of old Dare County and
gave it to us. They gave us COLLEEN
ton school, the Mays Head School,
and Duck school districts. They
now promise US a fifty thousand
dollar canal and boat dock, and
they have appropriated $4,000 for
the land for the Kill Devil Hills
school which they are calling the
Kitty Hawk school. What more
can the county officers do? They
have called an election to let us
vote the money for this school, and
that is pretty good, as it will cost
US, whose children go to school,
very little money. You and nc
other person can't dispute a single
thing l say.
No, the Kitty Hawk people are
not hard to get along with, and
our old heads have been getting
alcng pretty good at Manteo, but
these new corners and hot heads
who try to take over everything
makes all the trouble. It's just UNI
pleasant to be around them some
times, so don't use my name, but
l am tired Of two or three people
sitting around the stores with
nothing to do but appoint themsel-
yes to speak up for US all the time.
It's Kitty Hawk this, and Kitty
Hawk people want that, and Kitty
Hawk people say so and so, when
we people here in this neighbor-
hood don't know a thing about it.
