MORE ABOUT HIGH WINDS ON
OCT. 5 AT MACS HEAD, N. C.

To the Editor:
My husband and l have enjoyed
keeping up with the news of your
vicinity through the Coastland
Times. We recently renewed our
Subscription for another year.
Having lust spent ten days at
Mays Head, l was surprised to read
in the paper that the winds Octo-
Der 9Th and 9th reached only csc
m.p.h. in gusts" We had an ac-
curate wind meter at the Buchanan
cottage and recorded sustained
winds of so and 60 plus m.p.h. Also
many gusts up to Is. We were
surprised that only small craft
warnings were called for as it was
certainly dangerous storm.
am sure that many fishermen
were disappointed, as were we, but
l also feel that accurate forecast
ing and warning leave sportsmer
with better feeling than moi
knowing of stormy situation
ahead of time.
Best wishes for the continued
success of your paper.
Sincerely,
Mary F. Buchanan Flowers

PLENTY OF EVERYTHING BUT
PRICES KEEP GOING UP
(Laurinburg Exchange)

That old law of supply and de-
mand is coming off second best
in a battle with initiation. Today
there is plenty of everything. You
can buy just about any known
product you want if you have the
money, but the irony of it is that
you've got to have lot of money.
There are plenty of automobiles,
and plenty more where they came
from, but Detroit tells us that the
new 1858 models with carry a
higher price tag. There are plenty
of houses and plenty of building
materials, but houses are costing
more to build than ever. There is
plenty of money. Banks, savings
and loan association, insurance
companies, all have huge backlogs
of idle money, but it costs more to
borrow money today than in a
long time.
1t is a situation which has econ
omists baffled. The Federal Re-
serve Board chairman has told the
House Banking committee that in
flation is the greatest danger this
country faces today on the domes-
tic front.
There is talk of a buyers strike,
talk Of a recession, or ''little de-
preston" which some say would
be good for the country. But can
you have a little depression" ?
Can you have little buyers
strike? Once these things get
started people become panicky
and the roof caves in.

Commander Gilbert, the Queens
High Sheriff of Devon is the 18th

Elizabethan explorer Sir Humph-
rey Gilbert, half brother of SiI

created the Elizabethan Gar
den here. From his Compton
Castle home in. England he
brought a variety of flower

DIVORCES DROP

From the News & Observer
It would be difficult to think
of more healthy natural phe-
nomenon than the news that d.
vorce is going out of fashion.
Certainly this is a reassuring
item in an age of more and more
early marriages. Young folks are
marrying young and staying mar
ried. They are raising big families
in comparison with "a few years
ago. And at a time when so much
evil is attributed to the young
when Juvenile delinquency gets
more and more attention-this evil
dence of good adjustments, good
morals and good sense is welcome
indeed.
