COAST CITIZENS
WARNED OF WHAT
MIGHT HAPPEN
Civil Defense Program Outlines
Possibilities in Event Of War.
Safety Measures

Under the direction of Robert
Gum and his assistant Frederick
Trew, the Dare Coast Civil Defense
Program now in an embryonic
stage, made further developments
here on Monday night when repre-
sentatives of welfare, medical,
schools, communications, high
way and highway patrol and state
and federal agencies met at the
Community Building
With the theory that since the
Norfolk area would be a primary
target Of nuclear warfare enemy,
evacuees by the thousands might
pour through Currituck and into
the Nags Head Roanoke Island
area, if the port city were demoI-
ished by hydrogen bomb, Gum
gave a dramatic picture of what
could be expected and how the
people of this area should be
mobilized to meet such an emer-
gency.
Those at the meeting Monday
night were named chairmen of
various groups which would be
assigned to aid in feeding evacuees,
giving medical and surgical at
tention, policing highways, and
maintaining communications. Inso-
far as the latter is concerned a
civil defense communications sys-
tenn is already in it's early stages
of development here on Roanoke
Island under the direction of Good
rich Williams, a retired Coast
Guard communications officer, who
is conducting regular classes.
If, as and when the Norfolk area
should be attacked, survivors might
move southwark into North Caro-.
lima over various routes and one of
the main routes, is considered to
be U. S. Highway 158 to the Dare
Beaches and Roanoke Island via
Currituck County and thence
southwark across the new Croatan
Sound span "a 34-mile bridge
scheduled for completion, within
the next few weeks) over U. S.
Highway 264 into Hyde County and
thence to Washington and other
sections of North Carolina.
Gums descriptive ideas of what
could happen and may happen at
any time in a world of chaos,
gained ready support from those
present who will be his assistants

SNOW GEESE ARRIVE
ON USUAL SCHEDULE
ON "OUTER BANKS"
Most Of The $4,000 White Bran+"
Now Etant Have Showed
Up in Pea island Area
By AYCOCK BROWN

Rodanthe, N. C. - It's uncanny,
but it is also traditional, that most
of, the $4,000 greater snow geese
in the world should arrive at Pea
Island National Wildlife Refuge
between this village and Oregon
Inlet, their principal wfater feed
ing ground on Veterans Day
(Armistice) November II, each
year. The magnificent wildfowl
which natives along this coast call
ed white brant" in the old days,
ran true to form again this year.
L. B. Turner, refuge manager
reported II greater Shows had ar
rived about two weeks ago mixed
in with a flock of Canada geese.
Then, early last week 200 more
arrived. "They must have been
the advance guard" said Turner,
because on Sunday afternoon
(November 11) the first big flight
of about 1900 SHOWS arrived. Then
they continued to come in Sunday
night and by Monday there were
several thousand greater snow
geese here on the refuge"
"It was about like this, one day
there were few scattered SHOWS,
mixed in with the Canadas, then
on the next day a certain area of
the refuge was literally white
with snow geese. They almost al
ways arrive on November II, or
that is when the bulk of the
flocks arrive" he said.
They have a traditional date for
arriving each year, just as the
swallows of Capistrano have a
traditional date for arriving at the
California mission city, and like
wise, in this community here on
Hatteras Island the natives will
tell you that the Shows have
traditional date for departing on
their migratory flights to Arctic
breeding grounds. That will be on
the night of Old Christmas, Janu-
airy s, according to local lore,
which in most cases is correct
the bulk of the flocks of these
great rare birds which attract
birdwatchers from all parts of the
country, head north, and their de-
parture date is Old Christmas
night.

10 AvOCETS SIGHTED
ON PEA ISLAND REFUGE

Rodanthe, N. C.--In the Wild
fowl count at Pea Island last week
10 Avocets, rare bird for the
east coast, and one that looks like
a giant snipe, were observed.
"This is the largest number of
this species ever recorded in North
Carolina. said Refuge Manager
L. B. Turner.

these grains there is the chance of
mixing them even though the greatest
care is taken to clean the equipment
when switching from one grain to the
other.
If we are to continue to produce
durum wheat in Montana in areas
where hard wheat will still be pro-
duced, it is certain that a well-defined
system of handling will have to be put
into operation.
Separate Equipment
In some cases it may be necessary
to have a separate set of equipment
and machinery to handle each class.
1t could be that producers. could pool
these items and use those belonging to
one operator for nothing but handling
durum and the items of the other oper-
ator used for handling red wheat on
two or more places.
1t certainly would be advisable to
make every effort to seed grain free
from mixtures of the two classes of
wheat. This may require the purchase
of seed free of mixtures or the growing
of strips for seed and a system of
roguing put into operation from the
time of full heading of the plants right
up to harvest.
Some Roadway can be made if strips
or fields that were fallowed in 1856 are
planted to the same class of wheat in
1857 as was planted on the area in 1855.
This will help avoid mixtures due to
the termination of seed that failed to
terminate during the 1856 falIow pc
riod.

Policy Pays $500

PAYMENT OF So, 100 has been made
to Mrs. Agnes Clara Engle, HySham,
beneficiary of a Montana Farmer
Stockman accident policy. The policy
was held by her late husband, Clarence
Oliver Engle, who was killed when his
pickup was struck by train on a
crossing. The policy specifies $4,000
for loss of life plus per cent increase
for each consecutive annual renewal.
The policy had been renewed once.
Annual premium for this policy was SO
for the first year and 81 for each re-
newal thereafter.
Kenneth r. Schaefer, Plevna, age IA,
was killed when he was struck by
lightning while riding his bicycle. AS
he was holder of similar policy, his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Schaefer,
as beneficiaries, have received $1,O5O.
Benefits, in this case, were reduced
by half, as the policy holder was
under Is.

Circular Discusses
Use of Fertilizer

ST E R TILIZER RECOMMEND
DATIONS for Montana" is the title of
a new circular published by the Mon
tana Extension Service at Montana
State College.
Written by Arthur F. Shaw, extension
agronomist, and M. G. Klages, assist
ant professor of soils, the publication
contains information on how to buy
plant foods wisely, a table of recon-
mendations for fertilizer treatment for
specific crops, how to determine fer
tilizer needs, and what fertilizers do
when applied to the soil.
In their introduction the authors point
out that fertilizers will give best re-
suits when their use is accompanied
by other recommended soil manage
ment practices. Fertilizers" say Shaw
and Klages, twill not cure the effects
of poor tillage practices, improper weed
control measures, late seeding or I'M
adapted crop rotation"
Copies of the circular may be OBJ

agents.
