RODANTHE POSTOFFICE GOT
ITS NAME FROM A FLOWER

So many people have wondered
how Rodanthe postoffice got it's
name. When the postoffice was
established at the upper village on
Chicamacomico banks, old resi-
dents say man named Sparrow
Pugh was first postmaster. Some
have contended the postoffice was
named for a woman, others for a
flower. The fact is there have been
women named Rodanthe in coastal
North Carolina, and there is a
flower known as Rhodanthe, which
is native to Australia. This Rho
danthe flower gets its name from
the Greek word Rhodora, meaning
rose, plus the word anthos, mean
ing flower. 1t appears to be a
mighty pretty shrub. Webster de-
fines it as IAN Australian annual
herb-one of the garden everlast-
ings, having nodding flower heads,
with scarious, involucral bracts."
You can figure it out for your
self, but you might have to fight
some of the natives if you called
him name like this.
Some of our coastal post offices
were named by old salts, back
home from the sea, and on being
appointed postmaster, they ig-
nored the good old familiar names
with their racy local flavor, and
picked names quite foreign, but
which had excited their fancy.
Oftimes they named the offices
for a wife or daughter.

FARMERS TOLD OF
CROP INSURANCE
VALUE AT MEETING
Julian Mann. State Director. Hyde
Native Presided at Roanoke
Island Gathering.

North Carolina employees of the
Federal Crop Insurance Corpora
ton of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture met at the All Club
Camp on Roanoke Island on Aug
ust 10th and 18th despite Hurri-
cane Connie. Representatives from
81 of the 80 counties in the state
where crop insurance is offered,
as well as officials from the Wash
ington, D. c. and state office staff
in Raleigh braved the elements to
attend the state conference.
Among those present were
Robert Billiard of Nashville, Ca,
director of the southeast area of
states, Ernest Meas, director of the
claims division, and Frank Bailey,
both of the Washington, D. C.
office.
Julian Mann, state director, pre-
sided. He was assisted in the
meeting by Marjorie Upchurch,
state office manager, and North
Carolina district supervisors H. K.
James of Wilson, E. R. Midkiff of
Mount Airy, and c. X. Withrow
of Ellenboro. The SO workers
present came from as far west as
Haywood and Buncombe counties,
from Surry county in the north
west and Robson in the south.
Robert S. Smith, county agent,
welcomed the group and Alpheus
Drinkwater and Aycock Brown
told of interesting historical facts
about Roanoke Island and the
surrounding area.
The Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation insures the return of
cash investment costs to farmers
should adverse weather, unavoid-
able fire, disease and insect dam
age ravage growing crops. Insur-
ance on tobacco is available in 26
North Carolina counties and on
cotton in six western piedmont
counties.
Mr.. Billiard, in addressing the
meeting, stated that North
Carolina has more all-risk crop
insurance in force than any other
state in the south, and more than
any state in the nation except
North Dakota. Such all-risk in
surance, he continued, is not avail
able through commercial channels
and is entirely voluntary through
county offices of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Mann pointed out that, al
though claims in the amount of
over two million six hundred
thousand dollars were paid to
North Carolina farmers in 1853
and 1854 due principally to drought
damage, sufficient premiums have
been collected from North Caro-
lima policy holders to pay all losses
in the state since the program be-
gan in 1889. Such a balance is in
accordance with provisions of the
Federal Crop Insurance Act.
Meas, Bailey, Upchurch and the
district supervisors led interesting
discussions during the two days be-
fore the hurricane made adjourn
ment imperative on Friday morn
ing.
All of those who attended the
meeting were high in their praise
of Lyman B. Dixon, assistant
state All Club leader, and his
staff who acted as hosts to the
conference.

The committee approved funds
for both countries without

from other programs, approving
a foreign aid budget for next
year of $3,285 300, 900.
Then the group approved the

any area for the cut. This

Mansfield Cites
Threat 10 West

Senator Mansfield, Democrat
of Montana. warned the Senate
today Russia may create an ir-
resistable pressure in Germany
for neutralism by abandoning
the puppet Communist Govern
ment in East Germany and re-
Taxing control over other satel-
Ilites.
"a two-pronged diplomatic
drive Of this kind" he told the
Senate, may create almost ir-
Iresistable pressures in Germany
towards neutralism. pressures
which may go beyond even the
capacity of Adenauer to control" !"
Senator Mansfield said the
force of neutralism is spreading,
not only in Germany, but on
the continent of Europe as a
whole.
II do not know how far the
Russians will CO." said the Sen
ator. II believe, however, that
they will go to great lengths to
dissolve the bonds which hold
together the free nations from
Greece and Turkey to Scandi-
navia, and to reduce the in
Ifluence of the United States on
the European continent"
The Senator also predicted,
however, that Russia will not
succeed if the Western nations
stop merely reacting to Soviet
moves and formulate their own
policies for greater unity.
One area in which the free
nations could take the initiative,
he said, would be to think of the
London-Paris accords not sim
ply as adding IL German divi-
sions to the defense force of the
West, but as a step toward
greater unity among the free
nations.

In his complaint. filed In Dis
trict Court here, Mr.. Foreman
said passports issued him and
his wife in 1862 were revoked
by the State Department last
year.
The revocation, he declared.
was based on the allegation that
he had not shown he actually

The revocation was upheld by
the Secretary of State after q
hearing before the Board OF
Passport Appeals.
But Mr.. Foreman said he was
not allowed to examine evidence
against him or to confront ac-
cusers at the hearing.
The writer contended the State
