IMPORTANT DAY NExTwEEk.

AS it. voting is not only privilege it is duty
It is the nationally recognized in which good ci
may manifest his interest in the welfare of his country
his community and his home In these days. is
poant than before for exercise this privilege
discharge this duty.
Tuesday, next week, November 9Th, will be the day
which vouchsafes to Americans high honor and oppor
tuny It will be day to show the hopeful people of other
nations that we highly value this great manifestation of
free people bought at costly sacrifice by forefath
e safe for by misery and blood of so many
who were nearer and dearer to us.
Regardless of his political beliefs true and worthy
American should fail to to the polls and vote There will
be some who will not vote There always have been and
there always will be people like this But when carefully
sum the achievements of and the worth to the community
of these people usually find their contribution the
society which has given them much has never been
very great.
Too often is those who get benefits from Gov
eminent who do least for it. Too often those helped
most least capable of approaching what has been given
them through the generosity and sacrifice of others Too
often it is those who will not devote sufficient time and
energy to the small task of voting who complain Bit
ery about the outcome of elections and the manner
which the country is run.
This is enlightened age when just about any citizen
is able to inform himself fully the thngsfor which the

judge which party has brought most benefit average
man. He easily determine what party may be expected
to continue to do most for the people whole
There is no excuse for not voting!

NEGRO PRINCIPAL URGES
FRIENDS TO USE LOVE TO
BREAK DOWN BARRIERS

To The Editor:
/ would like to use this method
to express my thanks and appre-
citation to the members of Haven
Creek Baptist Church, Free Grace
Disciples Church, the Methodist
church and the large number of
friends who came through heavy
showers to the church Sunday to
share the Home Coming festivi-
ties.
AS guest speaker, was deeply
touched, over the very warm well
come, extended to me by the large
receptive and enthusiastic audience
of individuals who filled the church
in spite of the showers.
The audience was informed that
approximately forty one years ago
I left Manteo, with $3.50, made
from cutting cord wood, to con-
tinue my educational efforts as
just Roland Collins, and if / have
had any success with this en-
deavor; I remain deeply indebted
to my wife, parents and friends,
both white and colored on Roanoke
Island, and that desired to be
still known to them as just Roland
Collins.
spoke briefly concerning the
confused nature of things in the
world today, both at home and
abroad, and l urged the group
present to double their efforts to
use love as the key to lessening
obvious tensions. 1t can be used
any time, any where with any
body. It will break down barriers
that cannot be pierced by bullets
It will comfort the bomb frighten-
ed, and it will allay the fears Of
persons who are disturbed over
the social process Of Indignation.
If the persons who heard me
went about their work on Mon
day in more cheerful manner
and will follow the suggestion OF
love, the home coming program
should have great significance.
concluded my discussion by EN-.
phasizing that the method of love
as presented is our secret weapon
which is more powerful in human
relations than either the atomic OF
hydrogen bomb, and that we must
radiate our share, of. love as free.
dom loving people if peace is ulti.
mately to come upon this earth.

less than 80 miles away. He said

for by the federal government in
the loss of taxable income to the
fishing industry, both damage
loss and loss of income because Of
the inactivity of the fishing YES

The congressman said that
Ocracoke Inlet even now produces
more tonnage on less water than
any other point that could be
readily named, and that with the
improvement of the inlet the tom
age traffic would increase not TO-
fold, but more than 100-fold. He
stressed that Ocracoke Inlet should
have priority consideration unless
it was the purpose of the federal
government to completely abandon
the principal of its maintenance
of our waterways.
Col. H.. E. Brown, director Of
the North Carolina Hurricane Re

the value Of the inlet as drain
age for the coastal area Of back
