PASQUOTANK VOTES TO
BUILD $50 BED HOSPITAL

A new $2,5oO,OOO Albemarle
hospital will be built in Pasquo-
tank County.
The 15O-bed hospital, which will
serve Pasquotank, Perquimans,
Currituck, Dare and Camden
Counties, was assured at the polls
Saturday, when Pasquotank voters
overwhelmingly passed bond is
sue for the county's share Of
$685., 900, and an additional per-
missive tax levy of ten cents pei
500 valuation for maintenance il
necessary.
The final unofficial count was
three to one in favor of the pro
posal: 1,779 for and SOP against
the new hospital, and 1864 in
favor of and 642 against the main
tenance tax levy.
Despite widespread prediction
that the county precincts would
vote the plan down, only one
township, Newland, defeated the
proposition.
1t is expected the hospital may
not be complete before 1860.
The site for the new hospital
and nurses home is yet to be
selected, but, because of storags
and utility needs, it is expected Il
be located within Elizabeth City OF
no more than one mile outside tht
city limits.

NEW wILDLIFE FILM

The Education division Of the
Wildlife Resources Commission
has completed work on a sound
color motion picture film entitled
"Wildlife Guardians" scheduled to
be released in October for free
use by schools, clubs, and civic
groups throughout the state. The
film, dedicated to the men who
protect North Cardinals wildlife
resources, was produced by the
Commission at a cost of about
100000. Clyde Patton, Director
of the Commission, said that hav-
ing an equivalent film produced by
commercial organization would
have cost nearly 100000. Plans
call for showings of the film on
most Of the states television sta
tions, since it is timed to % and
one-half minutes to fill half
hour program.

stock as 10 to so acres Of wood
land. Gillian explains that grass
grown in shade has much less food
value than grass grown in full
sunlight.
Gillian says that many farmers
would profit greatly by fencing
cattle out of their woodland. It
might be necessary for the farmer
to clear a few acres of woodland
for additional pasture and fence
off a corner of the woodland for
shade but it would be well worth
his efforts. He'd end up with bet
ter livestock and better timber.

AUTUMN BRILLIANCE
is JUST AHEAD IN
NORTH CAROLINA


Autumn's brilliance touch S
every section of North Carolina
vacationlands during October.
Across the Great Smokes and
Blue Ridge Mountains-where the
highest peaks in Eastern America
tower up to we'll above mile-high
elevations-every highway gives
you front row, center, seat at
one of the greatest autumn foliage
shows in America. As you drive
from one altitude to another
there is endless variety in the
combinations of crimson, gold and
bronze which mingle whit the dark
evergreens. The smoky blue which
characterizes the region hangs
like a filmy curtain between the
nearby hills and those in the dis
lance.
Here on the North Carolina
coast, where Wilbur and Orville
Wright chose autumn as the time
to build the worlds first powered
aircraft, autumn fishing is some.

shops and stables are open by
early October. The two resorts
have seven 18-hole golf courses
within radius of five miles, and
there is foxhunting, pleasure rid
ing, and a round of informal horse
shows and gymkhanas.
October is the month of North
Cardinals big State Fair at Ra-
leigh, to be held October 1919
this year. Heart of the fairgrounds
on U. s. 1 near the Capital City
is the State Fair Arena, one of
Americas most striking contempo-
rary buildings.
A dozen other fairs invite Oct
ober visitors, and at Chapel Hill,
Morehead Planetarium's October
22-November 25 show is appro-
priately titled Harvest of the
Skies.
October Is marks the opening
of the big game season, with bear
and deer hunting enjoyed in coast
al and mountain forests. Bow and
arrow hunters can begin hunting
on October s. Wild boar are hunt
ed in the Western North Carolina
mountains near Robbinsville.
Across Eastern North Carolina
and the Piedmont you can stop in
at dozens of tobacco warehouses to
hear the chant of the auctioneer as
ne offers the golden weed to buy
RS from the worlds largest to-
,acco companies. At Winston
salem, Greensboro, Reidsville and
Durham you can take a free guild
ed tour of the factories where
those companies manufacture Gig
arettes.
Recreational areas for camping,
and hiking remain open
in the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, along the Blue
Ridge Parkway, in the Cape Hat

the National Forests through the
autumn color season. So do special
attractions like the Parkway Craft

The race to attain total, 1000

the Deep South - some which
aren't SO deep have entered the

At the moment it would seem
that Georgia has taken the lead

Wutch On The
POTOMAC
by
Robt. c. Spivack

BEEP BEEP - This month,
naturally, everybody's been talk
ing about "Sputnik'', the little
Russian whirly-bird that's been
causing SO much CONSERVATION
and curiosity around the world.
A skeptical Washington cor
respondent was trying to figure
tout why the Soviets launched
their earth satellite at this parti-
cular moment. "I WONDER" he
asked friend, IF some of our
arms manufacturers have the
Russian scientists on their pay
roll? Nothing has given the u.
S. arms industry a shot in arm
like Sputnik."
"You mean," shot back news
wit Ed Creagh of the Associated
Press, 'that what's good for the
Red Army is good for GIMP"
This, Of course, was an off-beat
reaction to the Soviet develop
ments. Some noted u. S. scien-
fists take a pretty grim view of
the situation. The members of
the executive committee of the
Federation of American Scien-
lists, which includes some of the
ablest men in physics and allied
fields, are urging the government
not to allow the same thing to
happen this time that happened
in 1916.
| At that time the Soviets re-
fused, probably because they lag
ged far behind us, to make any
agreements for control of the A
| bomb.
"The opportunity for control
of atomic energy in 1916 was
lost and there was no turning
back" the FAS scientists recall
Failure to reach agreement
may have been due to Soviet I'M
willingness to negotiate from
] weakness.
"I'he see-saw history of the
arms race over the past 10 years
has proved that decisive military
superiority is not obtainable for
either side, and that security
will only come through control
of ornaments"
In short, say the scientists, if

around this time we're in for an
era of terrifying consequences, ;"
