five Has Spent Lifetime in
Textile Industry

William P. Saunders, who be-
came director of the North Caro-
lima Department of Conservation
and Development on December Is,
1866, literally worked his way up
in the textile industry into which
he went after leaving the Univer-
sity of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill.
He was president of Robbins
Mills, Inc, which had branches at
Aberdeen, Red Springs, Raeford,
and Robbins, when the firm was
merged with the American Wooden
Company in 1854. Mr.. Saunders re-
tired to his Southern Pines home,
devoting his time to golf, fishing,
hunting, and enjoying life.,
When his old friend, Governor
Luther H. Hodges, who was bust
ness manager Of the University of
North Carolina Baseball team on
which Mr.. Saunders also played as
an out-fields, asked him to come
to Raleigh and take over the direc-
torship of the Department of Con-
servation and Development when
Director Ben E. Douglas asked to
be relieved, Mr.. Saunders complied
with the request.
A native of Dallas in Castor
county, Mr.. Saunders was born or
October %, 1897. He is the son d
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Lee
Saunders. His father was long
active in the textile industry. Hi:
mother was the former Miss Mar!
Elizabeth CASTOR.
Mr.. Saunders was classmatt
of Associate Justice William H
Bobbitt of the State Supreme
Court in the Class of 1921 at thu
University of North Carolina. Jus

Death has been widespread in
the coastland this week. Aside from
the grief it has caused, it has upset
plans for many things. 1t has kept
many relatives from participating
in festivals and events which are
annually looked for. Due to age
and infirmities many people have
passed on during this rugged WIN
ter, and at the most inappropriate
time of the year for grief to show
its ugly face. 1t comes cruelty in
the holiday season, but it impress
ses US more and more with the
realization that time is short in
deed. Year after year, we see our
old friends passing on, and as we
grow older we become more alone
in the world. There are never any
friends who completely fill the
place of the old ones.
We have lost some of our best
people, and many who were great
ly loved in their home communities.
When death thins out the ranks,
nature is slow to fill their places.
Barring possibility of storms or
other unexpected set-backs, it looks
as if the coastland will have a busy
tourist season. Various business
men along the length of the beach
j, and particularly on Hatteras Is
land, are going forward with
building projects for tourist ac-
commodations. There will be more
rooms than last year, and more
places to eat. There is no lack of
faith here at home.
Fortunately for the Dare County
area, the damage was practically
negligible when compared with
losses elsewhere. We didn't ever
have an interruption of electric
service on Hatteras Island, the
most exposed part of our coast

which dams up the water from the

Gently with money wrangled from

the community that year.
Among old friends that we feel
nervous about is the Coast Guard
station at Mays Head. The higher
ups think it isn't worth saving.
They say its day is past. Its great
record of the long ago means
nothing now. It's value as a show
window for the service which SO
long used it to make friends and
impress our summer visitors is
now discounted. Its opportunities
for rescuing men from the sea de-
crease with the years.
Yet those of us who live here
know that all of the boosted adj
vantages for fast rescue work fail
at times. There come times when
nothing else can do the job that
men can do, working from these
stations. There come times when
it's the difference between life and
death to have them nearby. If
tradition and great deeds and fine
memories cannot rise up to avail
anything in the effort to save
this station along with some
others, then people should turn out
en- masse and tell what they know
of it's worth and the community
need for it. Surely, when our ma
ton passes out millions so readily
to all the scum of the earth who
request it, We can continue to spare
a little at home for this great in.
