RIGHTS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES

One influential factor pointed
out by each speaker is that parents
and teen-agers alike have rights
and responsibilities which must
be exemplified by both if young
people are to be the future citi-
zens adults expected them to be.

ADULTS TAKE STOCK

tHighlighting the student panel
was the fact that more adults
should take an interest in the
social agencies that have programs
for teen-agers and young people.
There should be more super
vision by adults during public
social activities. The HON e,
School, Church and Community
Agencies must be strengthened so
as to strengthen the character of
Teen-Youth. Teen-agers should
appreciate the facilities available
and use them wisely.
. Teen-Youth agree, though, that
there must be patience, tolerance,
and understanding on both sides,
and that teen-agers and adult Of
ten fall short of the mark.

GOOD TEACHING AND
GOOD PREcEPTS

Rev. Edward Graham, stated
that teen-agerS must have sound
teachings and good examples
given them by adults. The pro-
cess includes a nobility of pur-
pose, genuineness, willingness to
work and teen-agers must accept
discipline. Then young people will
be able to make such accomplish
ments as the power of analysis,
effective planning, emotional sta
bility, and persistent application.
All we do must be put on a solid
foundation of God.

feet deep by 100 feet wide in
1886. The project includes the ba-
sin, but no work has been done on
extending the channel to include

80 days to begin the work after
he has been awarded the contract

a one and a half to two-foot slope.
The east wing will be 375 feet
long and the west 800 feet long.
This plus two wood pile channel

SCOTTsS BILL PROVIDES
CHANCE TO RENEW US.
NATIONAL INSURANCE

Washington, January 25.-Sen.
w. Kerr Scott said today that he
will sponsor legislation that would
give both World War II and
Korean veterans an opportunity to
apply for National Life Insurance
in cases where veterans failed to
apply for it while in service or
let it lapse.
Figures of the Veterans Admin
istration show very clearly" Scott
said, "that many veterans either
never applied for government life
insurance while in service or have
let it lapse since they left service"
Scott, who will join Sen. Russell
Long in offering the measure, said
it does not make any additional
persons eligible for the insurance.
at merely gives veterans who are
already entitled to it a limited
period of time to renew it or take
it out" Scott said.
Under the measure, persons who
served in the armed forces between
October 8, 1910, and September 2,
1945, would be given a year to
apply for government insurance.
"Many veterans" Scott said,
failed to take out government in
surance while in service or let it
lapse. These same people now
realize that they made a mistake,
and 1 feel that they deserve an
additional chance to get insurance
they are entitled to have"
Scott said that there, are total
of 421, 200 World War II and Ko-
rean veterans in the state now.
Of this number, only $4,000 have
kept up. their government insur-
ance, he said.

SAYS GOV. WORKERS
SAVE A QUARTER MILLION

To The Editor.
In a recent issue of the Coast
land Times you printed a cartoon
that gave. the impression that you
favor the contracting out of work
that has been and will be efficient
ly and economically accomplished
by Federal Government employees.
A recent example of this eff
cheney was demonstrated recently
when government employees and
plant completed a two and one
half million dollar job contractors
bid) for a total cost of two and
one quarter million dollars in the
same estimated time thus saving
the taxpayers one quarter million
dollars.
1t may also interest you to
known that many Outer Bankers
working on this job helped to make
this saving possible and if this
work is contracted out it can put
these neighbors of yours out of
work.

Editors Note. In answer to the
above letter, before we could pass
an opinion, we would need this
statement backed up by the au-
thority able to certify it. Also
we'd like to know what Federal
agencies participated. 1t is so ex-
tremely rare that any Government
employees can do things cheaper
than private contractors, we'd
like some more details, location OF
rhis job, how the figures were ar
rived at, etc.

THIS IS lockwood WEEK
IN THE OLD NORTH STATE
By MABEL EVANS JONES


Among the projects for the
Identification of roadsides, home
surroundings and grounds of pub
lie buildings, the Garden Club of
North Carolina promotes Dogwood
Week each year the last week in
January. During this time each
garden club of the state is urged
to get planted Zone Hundred or
More" dogwoods and come on the
honor list in the North Carolina
Garden Club Year Book.
y The Roanoke Island Garden
Club looks forward to the time
when the new highways ON the is
land will all be model mile high
avs with breath taking beauty in
the planting along the roadside.
The club believes that the native
dogwoods could not be surpassed
in their spring-time beauty and
are appealing to every public
spirited citizen to do his or her
part in producing this type of
loneliness by planting carefully
and nurturing one or more dog
woods. Authorities have found that
the winter planting of dogwood is
the successful one.
A report from any person in the
area to a member of the Roanoke
Island Garden Club of planting
done will be most welcome.

HUNTING

the evenings hunt. Late in
the evening we would retrace
our steps in the same order in
which we tied out, picking up as
we went along back to camp It
often being so dark we couldn't
see, but the steers knew the way.
Then around the fire at night,
the hunters would swap tales about
their experiences during the day.
They mentioned the good shots
they had made and seldom told
about the poor ones. Lots of raz-
zing went on, beginning when we
started for camp, and lasting until
bed time.
Arrived at camp we fed and wa
tered the steers and decoys, put
them in shelter for the night. After
supper, ammunition and guns We're
checked and cleaned, cards were
played and stories told. The next
morning they were equally anxious
to get up early and go again.
In those days the hunters packed
their fowl in barrels and shipped
them home. 1t took about 40 min
utes by boat to Manteo. The hunt
ers had to rise early to return
home, taking the steamer Trenton
north at six am. and earlier. Most
of them would come back the next
season for another good hunt.
They were good old days, with
plenty of fun and plenty of fowl,
and well not likely see such times
again.
