UNCLE SAM FROM SYCAMORE WRITES:
l was reading yesterday where

l was reading yesterday where
some car insurance company
down in Georgia won't insure a
driver that hangs rabbit tails,
squirrel tails, baby shoes, dice,
and such stuff on his car. They
figger that such fellers is off
their rocker and amt safe driv-
ers. I've seen wimmen wearing
hats that looked like rabbit tails,
squirrel tails, baby shoes, dice,
and a vegetable garden all roll
ed into one. I can't see how they
can logically insure one and not
the other. Fer my money they
can keep 'em both off the high
ways, then maybe I could find a
parking place.
I was in town the other day
seeing about Citing some fertili-
ger fer my spring planting and
this city teller was in there talk
ing about planting a garden this
year. City folks git all mixed up
in the difference between plant
ing a garden and working one.
The difference is about the same
as between sweat and perspira-
ton. Us farmers sweat and you
city folks just perspire. The good
word sweat is in mighty low es-
TEEN amongst you city garden
ers. You've been Incorporating it
around as perspiration so long
that you think sweat is some
thing not to be mentioned in
the presence of ladies. If this
city Teller amt figgering on
sweating little on that garden
there aint no use in him plant
ing 1t.
Yours truly.

THAD EuRE DISCUSSES
GOVERNMENT BY PARTY
Secretary OF State Was Guest Speaker
for Young Democrats al Kitty
Hawk Saturday Night

Despite several other meetings
previously scheduled in the same
locality, a fair size crowd turned
out to the Kitty Hawk school
building Saturday evening to hear
an address by Secretary of State
Thad Eure, who is always pop
ular speaker in the coastland. Mr..
Eure spoke on Government by
Party, and reminded his audience
that when they broke ranks and
voted for one man outside the par
ty, they were really voting for the
Republican party. There seems to
be no such thing as voting for the
man, when that man is part of the
party, and our government is par
ty government.
Mr.. Eure didn't remain over
night, as it was his late fathers
birthday anniversary, and he re-
turned to his old home in Gates
vile to spend Easter and attend
church services with his sister.
Many attended the meeting from
ManteO, including c. S. Meekins,
CLERK Of the Court; Frank Cahoon,
Sheriff; Lawrence Swain, Commits
sioner; other officials attending
were Commissioner CHI firm n
Claude Duvall, and Commissioner
Perry of Kitty Hawk.
One of the states most popular
officials and a Gates County ma
tive, Thad Eure has served as Sec
rotary of State since December 81,
1886, having been elected to that
office six times for four-year
terms. Active in politics all his
life, ne first served in public office
when he was elected Mayor of
Winton in 1923 at "a years of age,
shortly after receiving his law de-
gree from the University of North
Carolina in 1922. He also served
as County Attorney for Hartford
County for eight years and as
member Of the House of Represent
tatives for one term. He was Prin-
,cipal Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives for four sessions, prior
to his election as Secretary OF
State. Mr.. Eure was also the key
note speaker of the 1850 Demo-
cratic State Convention.
Saturday nights rally was one
Of a series being held this year by
the Young Democrats Of Dare, who
are currently evidencing an unus-
ual revival of interest throughout
the county. Previous rallies at
Stumpy Point and Rodanthe have
attracted some of the states top
officials apd politicians, and have
been well attended.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:

Senator Margaret Chase Smith
says she's as mad as a hornet
about some Idaho potatoes show
ing up at Air Force base in her
state of Maine. She's doubly
shook up, she says, because this
lis the second time it's happened,
and because the base is located
in Aroostook County, center Of
the Maine potato industry.
If she'll look into it she'll
probably find that all the pota-
toes at Air Force bases in Idaho
come from Maine. AS long as
she's been in the Government
she ought to know this is stand
ard procedure in our armed
forces. Our military bases in
Italy git their spaghetti in cans
from New York and in Alaska
they probably git their Eskimo
pies from Hoboken, New Jersey.
The boys in the Pentagon like to
keep things moving, margaret.
see by the papers where a fa-
nous London taller announced in
New York that cuffs on mems
pants was going out Of style. ]
got sad news fer that Teller.
Here in this country we're going
to have cuffs on our pants even
if we have to do without Geritol.
I'd as soon git caught in my
neighbor's hen house as to git
caught on the street with no
cuffs on my britches. Back when
we was fighting Germany and
Japan, the War Production Board
got away with cutting couple
inches off our shirttail but they
didn't have no success in taking
the cuff off our pants.

years. Some Is years ago, he re-
turned to Belhaven, and established
his residence at the old Howard
homestead.
Mr.. Kelly was most interesting
and likeable man. He had rare
gifts in art and music. and his
collection of antiques in his island
home made it show place which
many visitors desired to see. He
was civic-minded, and q member
