The American people have spoken and by this vote has

serious issues they might well have considered fully

misery and sacrifice.

break it did when attention might best have been
cenered complete consideration of vital national issues
At rate has upset the contention of the Republicans
that the Democratic party the party disputed their
claims that they have maintained peace in the world.
We will have to wait and to what happens respect
ing Americas participation in these conflicts that have
arisen We will venture guess that no matter whether
we in stay out of active participation in these wars

FOUL WEATHER REDUCED
OCTOBER COAST TRAVEL

Weather unfavorable for vaca-
ton travel resulted in fewer per-
sons entering Cape Hatteras Ma
tional Seashore and Fort Raleigh
during October. A small increase
however was noted in number of
visitors entering Wright Brothers
National Monument area, as COM
pared to October one year ago.
Despite travel drops in October,
each of the National Park Service
units on the Dare Coast, the Ma
tional Seashore, Fort Raleigh and
Wright Monument are well ahead
of 1866 for the travel year period
from January to November.
Cape Hatteras National Sea-
shore at the end of October in 1855
had counted only PAT, 440 entered
visitors as compared to 287,347 for
the same period in 1866 reflecting
a 1871 percent increase.
Fort Raleigh with 87,067 visitors
through October in 1866 had count
ed total of 1921 for the same
period this year mostly due to
increased patronage at Lost Colony
performances during July and Au-
gust. j.
The Wright Memorial count fol-
the first 10 months of 1866 was

N. C. FARMERS REAP
So MILLION YEARLY
IN WOODLOT HARVESTS

Lumberton Especially The for
est industries of North Carolina
provide farmers in the state with
market for more than $500, 900
worth of forest products harvested
from their farm woodlots annually.
In addition, farmers are using
huge volumes of timber from their
woodlots for construction of their
own houses, barns, fences and
pens.
Citing figures from the U. S.
Department of Commences newest
agricultural census, Carr Gibson of
Lumberton, chairman of the North
Carolina Forest Industries Com
mittee, said the vast market for
farm woodlot products in North
Carolina reflects the growing inn
portance of good timberland man.
agement and fire protection.
Gibson's committee is state
sponsor of the North Carolina
Tree Farm program, a movement
to aid and encourage proper care
and protection of privately owned
forest land in order to grow re-
peated timber crops. Nationally,
the program is operated by the
forest industries through Ameri-
can Forest Products Industries,
Washington, D. c.
The industry chairman predicted
that sales of forest products from
farm woodlots in the state will ex.
pand as the concept of tree farm
ing-growing timber as crop
continues to take hold in public
consciousness.
Counties in which sales of farm
products exceeded $150,000 il
1854 are Chatham, Granville, Gull
ford, Halifax, Iredell, Johnston
Moore, Nash, Randolph, Surry
Wake, Warren and Wilkes.

October had to settle for a num-
Der. Some other months got
names. July and August, for ex-
ample, after Roman emperors, and
May for Mali, goddess. But, like
September (seventh) and Decem-
Der (tenth), the month that had
been Germanicus, then Antonius,
then Herculeus, and almost
achieved Faustinus took eighth
in queque of ten. To this lineup
were added two more months,
which later turned up at the head
of the procession.
1t may be even more, compli-
Gated. But all we want to ask is
whether history, which can explain
nearly everything but itself, holds
the real answer to the questions
one hears every year about Octo-
ber's coloring.
Emerson spoke Of a law of COM
pensation, and maybe October is
just case of overriding it. Some
of us just refuse to be digits in
a mathematic arrangement of
society. Reds, yellows, deeper
golds-an extravaganza of color,
of gesture. A casting of restraint
to the autumn winds. Could this
have been avoided? Shakespeare
would ask, whats in a name ?"
But he never raised the question
as to what might come from hav-
ing a number instead.

One sure sign Of the season is
the spicy goodness Of mincemeat
pie. This year, bake pie with
a filing of cranberrieS mixed in
with the mincemeat. Use the
recipe given here for Cranberry
Mince Pie.
This is a treat you'll want to
repeat. Note that the pastry
recipe includes self-rising flour
as an ingredient. In addition to
baking powder, self-rising -four
contains salt so no salt is listed.
Light, tender pastry is easy to
produce when you use self-ris-
ing flour.
Ask for self-rising -four the
next time you buy. You will
like the convenience of having
the baking powder and salt al
ready in it. It assures you good
results with all your baking of
biscuits, mullins, and other quick
breads.

BASS INVESTIGATIONS IN
STATE ARE CONDUCTED

James E. Sykes, project leader
of striped bass Investigations in
North Carolina waters and espec-
tally the northeastern part of the
state, writing from the U. S. Fish
cry Laboratory in Beaufort this
week emphasized that it was TIE
Federal Fish and Wildlife Service
doing the job and not the N. c.
Wildlife Resources Commission as
had been indicated in a. Manns
Harbor date-lined story recently.
There always seems to be a
great deal of confusion between
the names of these two organiza-
tons, however careful we are to
point out the difference" said
Sykes.
In the meantime striped lass
or rockfish are beginning to show
up in increasing numbers here on
the Dare Coast where anglers
have been making excellent catch
es of fish, some going to eight
and 10 pounds, during the past
several days. Most Of the reports
of striped bass catches to GATE
have come from Roanoke Island
anglers fishing near shore ir Croa-
tan and A.bcnarla Sounds.
Last year Sykes group OF irves-
Etigators tagged approximately TOO
striped bass of which 81 percent
Were caught. Two OF the tagged
stripers were taken in the surf
J off the New England coast but
most of the tags returned were
from North Carolina waters.

Record Balloon Flight

The ascent made on Armistice
Day, 1886, by Explorer II, is still
the record altitude for a manned
balloon. Released near Rapid City,
South Dakota, the helium-filled
balloon rose 1895 feet above sea
level. 1t remained poised above the
earth for an hour and 40 minutes,
mans longest stay at such
height. Sponsors of the flight were

WE ARE PECULIAR PEOPLE

(Silver Springs, (Md.), Record)
All Americans believe in schools
and churches. Even those who send
their children to private schools
willingly support the public school
system.
We spend less than four billions
per year on all our churches. We
spend less than seven billions on
our public schools. Yet we Ameri-
cans spend over 9 billions of dol
lars annually for alcoholic bever-
ages.
Maybe, after all, we really could
afford to spend bit more to
