EVERYDAY
RELIGION
Community Wealthy
By Rev. Robert w. Turner

If someone should ask you what
you consider the most important
possession of the residents of
Dare County, what would your
answer be? The answer we each
give can decide the future welfare
and happiness of our community,
as we live together day by day.
We seldom appreciate the fact
that our most important posses
sion is our own self, although this
is the very foundation stone of our
democratic heritage. If this is
true, each of us has a primary
responsibility to God, our fore
fathers and to one another to
posses our own vessel in sanctifi-
cation and honor" No one can do
this for us or even snake" us do
it but those who fail to do so, with
such help as they have, make
everyone "poorer," including, of
course, themselves.
Our secondmost important pos
session is the skill or talent which
each person has. Whether one or
several, they are given us by a
loving Father for the profit of all;
that is, to serve the common good
of our community. Through their
development and constant use we
are enabled to share in the crea-
tivity of God and our personal
happiness is actually dependent, on
their proper use. You and l may
have only "one small talent" =
but everyone is "richer" when we
use it for the common good. Woe
to the person who "retires" and
hides his talent in the ground of
his own bosom, pretending he "can-
not do anything!" He brings ruin
to himself and shame upon his
family and community because
the sure product of an idle life
will be negative criticism of God
and fellow man.
The more talents we have, the
greater our responsibility to the
whole community and the general
welfare. What a happy community
that is where each and every citi-
zen considers it privilege to serve
his neighbor with such means as
have been placed at his command;
the happiness of giving and shar-
ing is spread everywhere and
Christmas comes each and every
day as God means it to.
"While we have time, let us do
good to all men, and especially
unto them that are of the house,
hold of faith" (Galations 6:10)

Immortality is word that Hope through all the ages

OUR GROWING BURDEN OF COURTS.

The resident judge has recommended to the Supreme

court for better than 30 and in some instances the at
tones who started them have been dead for ten
doubt if it going to help one whit to saddle this
county with double burden for Superior Courts We
having three terms of court year. when we used
have than two and sometimes only one term We
were told year or two ago. we would add the third term
of court of which held last week. that Dare Count
promised results
1t lot of money hold courts it might be we'll
spent results shown But the relief not of
court but only from the lawyers themselves Dock
cts get cuttered because the participating lawyers offer
principal that lawyers be everywhere at
and these same lawyers practice in the courts of
counties At the time term of court is being held in Dare
County more attorneys consider it important to
be in other court lawyer represents clients many
counties and he cannot be in all of them at the time
If isn't the lawyer for side who can't attend then it's
the lawyer for the other sde and may seesaw back and
forth like this for years N
about merely for the convenience of the lawyers There
for contnuances that the dckets to

Another why court dockets pile up the lassi

to want to do much Sometimes there would be places

found to terminate the court three days. instead of
running it full week We think if Judge with

week about improving courts He is quoted saying the
judges have too much independence in the matter of holding
court
It seems to now since judges better paid the pub
lie has right to expect better weeks work out of each
term of court For that outlined think the
public should begin frowning the needless expense of
costly terms of court entng also great personal expense
and inconvenience to many people The taxpayers should be
thought of first rather than the attorneys who profng
by their profession and the judges who enjoying quite

Jones of Manteo. Following the
four hour hearing they deliberated
for about 80 minutes and "asses-
sed the damage done by the con-
tractor employed by Virginia Elec-
trio and Power Company in cutting
down the trees at $780," according
to Dare Superior Court Clerk C.
S. Meekins.
David Stick, general Manager of
Southern Shores at Kitty Hawk
and author of Graveyard of the
Atlantic" and other books placed
the value of the Generals proper
ty at $50 per front foot before
the trees were cut and $18 after
they had been cut down. He esti-
mated the value of the property
at $12,928 before and 1886 after
the trees were cut or damage
of 1851.
Young of Avalon Beach on the
same basis estimated the property
value at $36 front foot or a total
of $15,510 before the trees were
cut OF $10,750 after they had been
felled for damage of $4,76O.
Pennell Tillett of Kitty Hawk,
tax supervisor of Dare County
stated that in his opinion the value
of the property was $500 in 1856
which was decreased to $532 after
the trees had been cut.
Dare County VEPCO Manager
G.. A. Whitfield testified as to the
need for building the line for in
creased power in this area.
J. E. Tillery, VEPCO right-of-
way Engineer, WILLIAMSON, en-
deavored to show that route of
right-of-way through the Banfill
property was selected because il
would do the least damage. His
personal opinion was that the
property which he estimated was
worth about 5000 an acre. or 3d.
200 for the Is acre tract was not
damaged, and that, as matter of
fact, the power line construction
had increased the value of the
property.
Herman Tillett placed his valua-
ton of the property at $4,000 be-
fore the. trees were cut and $1,700
afterwards.
William Sanders, a VEPCO jun
Tor engineer of Alexandria, Va.
stated that in his opinion it would
have cost approximately 81, 1000 tc
have set poles and constructed
lines on route suggested by
General Banfill through section
which would have saved the trees
