further efforts to seek relief in any cause.
In the union of number of taxpayers however and by
the employment of competent legal aid and only in such
manner just and adequate relief be expected 1t is par
tcuar true of the nonresident property owner who has
voting power and who by thereof finds himself
raided by officials who interested not
much in the countys welfare in the enjoyment of the
reckless spending of other peoples money.

COLLECTORS FIND
FUN IN STAMPS;
NEW SERIES OUT
Dare County Has Its Fans Who
Make A Hobby Of Saving
Each Issue

The hobby of collecting stamps
is a big one in the United States,
and it has reached Dare County,
with numerous people having be-
come interested in the pastime,
since the Government first promot-
ed the sale of commemorative
stamps in connection with the
S5Oth anniversary of the first set
Elements in America, and the birth
of the airplane.
Albert and Maude Bell of Roa-
noke Island Gardens, and Jack Til
lett of Manteo are among the prin-
cipal Roanoke Island stamp collect
ors.
In this connection the postoffice
department has announced special
new stamp having to do with For
est Conservation, which goes on
sale, Friday, October 81 at Tucson,
Arizona.
Other new stamps include the
Simon Bolivar stamp, the new 70
airmail stamp, the Lincoln-Douglas
debates stamp, and the Atlantic
Cable commemorative stamp. The
first named has to do with the
history of a South American ma
ton; the third with politics before
the Civil War, the fourth with the
first spanning of the ocean by tel
ephone cable.
The Atlantic Cable stamp will go
on sale at the New York postoffice
on August %; the Lincoln-Douglas

Brushing serves not only to
clean the hair between sham
pooings, but distributes natural
oils to give tresses cleaning
highlights. Proper brushing also
brings nourishing blood to the
scalp.
It's important to choose a
brush with medium stiff bris-
ties. Stiff bristles may irritate
the scalp or damage hair, while
soft ones won't do proper job.
It's also advisable to use a

NO CATTLE REMAIN
ON LANDSCAPE OF
OCRACOKE ISLAND
Seven Hounds and Ten Men
Caught Last Old Cow and
Baby Calf

The oft-told story of the amaze
ment of children from the city
who had never seen a COW, may
be repeated in a few short years
on Ocracoke Island, where the last
bovine animal was taken away
Saturday A Camden county cattle
dealer brought out two steers, a
cow and her small calf. There is
no mystery about the cow and
steers. Several bulls were brought
out some weeks ago along with
about rs cattle in all.
But it took seven hound dogs
and several men to round up these
cattle, and the seven dogs also
took the ferry ride back with their
owners. In rounding up these wild
cattle, several have drowned when
they took to sound or ocean to
escape the dogs.
In a few years it may be chill
dren on Ocracoke Island who will
be amazed on sight of a cow.
Twenty five years ago all the is
lands of the Outer Banks were
dotted with cattle. Many owners
had uncounted numbers. No one
listed cattle for taxes, but once
in awhile when money was need
ed, some cattle would be sold. Now
and then some fellow would slay
a fat beef and sell it up and down
the road from an open cart.
Cattle and other livestock had
long since become a nuisance as
the Banks became more complete
ly developed, and danger and
handicap after roads were built.
There was considerable opposition
when they were first taken off
Hatteras Island about 20 years
ago, but citizens soon found a bet
ter condition. Health laws and
vigorous inspection had reduced
the demand for scrub cattle, and
prices had dropped too low for
profit, even though they were free
range cattle. Tick fever and what
not had caused laws that prevent
ed their sale for beef.
Ocracoke at last has road, and
needs it worse than it. needs
cattle. The animals last taken
away, will be put to pasture in
Camden County. Later when they
are fattened they will go to mar
ket.
Wild ponies too, have gone from
the Outer Banks. The few remain
ing are owned by Ocracoke's
mounted Boy Scout team.

MANY STATE LIONS TO
VISIT BEACH, PAGEANT

The meeting of the N. C. State
Council of Lions international to
be held in Elizabeth City this week
end, is expected to bring many
Lions and guests to the Dare
Beaches. The group plans to depart
from Elizabeth City at A pm. Sat-
urday, arriving on the beach in
time for dinner at the Croatan
Hotel. Following dinner, plans are
tc attend The Lost Colony. Past
International President Jack Stick
ley of Charlotte will be among
those present.

WATER

cited by those who have been left
to carry the load of promoting
the water system. Most important
of all is the question of health.
Several authorities have warned
that soils heavily saturated with
fecal matter offer great possibili-
ties for pestilence and epidemic
which could close down every place
of business in the area and cause
complete economic havoc on the
beach.
While this condition is not a
threat In some areas, it is a grave
one in the most highly congested
areas, and any area affected can
be hurtful to the whole beach dis
trict. Such conditions can lead to
bankruptcy, and it is contended
that any cost for water system
would be cheap insurance against
disaster.
Another important consideration
is said to derive from adequate
fire protection, in that greatly de-
creased insurance rates would
apply, and in itself this would
help in payment of, or offset addi-
tional taxes.
1t is pointed out that while
maintenance costs would increase
with the age of the system, so
would customers increase with
growth of the area, whereby rev.
enue would increase. The tax rate
should constantly decrease be-
cause of greatly increased develop
ment of property, and rapid de-
crease in interest payments.
The Times will be glad to pub
fish any information available on
this subject, and suggests that the
Commissioners would do well if
they prepare a brief, giving in
detail the answers>to the pertinent
questions now being asked by the
voters.

MICHAEL JONES, All Club
member from Hyde County, was
the State winner in the Livestock
Conservation Demonstration held
in Raleigh last month. Michael was
the winner in the Eastern District
which is composed of the 16 sur
rounding counties in this area,
and represented the Eastern Dis
trict in the contest held in Ra-
leigh. To win the State Award
Michael had to compete against
five other district winners which
represented the other "a counties.
The title of the demonstration
was "The Prevention and Control
of the Large Intestinal Round
worm in SWINE" This demonstra-
ton gave the life cycle of this
worm in hogs, its control, and the
recommended hog wormers to con-
troll this parasite.
Michael won an engraved Elgin
watch as a prize for winning the
State Award.
Michael deserves a lot of credit
for the hard work that he has
done in learning this demonstra-
ton and in bringing recognition
to Hyde County.
Richard Lupton, All club mem
Der, also was a district winner
and represented the Eastern Dis
trict in Raleigh and did an excel
lent job in giving his demonstra-
ton entitled "The Value of Sur
face Litter" This demonstration
showed the Importance of leaving
surface litter such as wheat or oat
straw on the land instead of burn
ing it such as many farmers do.
Richard didn't win first place but
gave his competitors some stiff
competition.
These demonstrations were
given in Raleigh last week during
All Club Week at which time the
demonstration winners in the state
competed for state honors. The Sc
lection of the All club State
President and Vice-President was
made during Club Week and also
the Health Pageant and Talent
Night were held. The boys and
girls attending Club Week also
attended classes on Farm POND

CONFUSION OF NAMES
SENDING MAIL ASTRAY

Mail addressed to Swan Quarter
goes astray in increasing amounts
each year and having been mis-
sent, either to Swansboro or
Swannanoa, finally gets back to
the right spot, but not without in
convenience to the addressee in
Hyde County.
During the dispatching of mail
destined for Swan Quarter, it may
easily be seen how such mistakes
can occur. And of course some
times mail ON its way to these
other offices comes to Swan Quar-
ter bv mistake and has to be re-
directed.

at two different times. These
same storms caused washes to oc-
cur at intervals along the beach,
invading several hundred feet in
land and threatening the new is
land road. Brush was placed and
sand hauled to restore these dam
aged areas.
Experimental sections of 2 acres
of grass planting was done in Sc
lected areas along the flats. The
removal of cattle, sheep, and
many of the horses has resulted
in considerable re-growth of dune
and sand flat areas.
On May 5, tree planting ma
chine was borrowed from West
Virginia Pulp and Paper Company
and tried out, experimentally, for
beach grass planting. The machine
was too heavy for beach use, but
it was believed a machine could
be procured as a modification of
some standard planter which
would increase production and
lower the cost for this phase of
dune sterilization work.
In general the work progressed
in a satisfactory manner, storm
damage was serious, but not criti-
cal, and was limited to relatively
short areas of beach. The effect
iveness of the first seasons work
is beginning to show and a basic
dune pattern along the Outer
Banks is beginning to materialize'

 According to the Wall St. Jour nal, a new 42-story skyscraper rising in Dallas, Texas, will have on the 39th floor a chapel flor anyone seeking a moment of peace on busy day"
 We are glad to read such a news item; for the problems and pressures of life are such as to make many persons desire "a moment of peace on busy day"
 People working in offices of a skyscraper need such a chapel to which they can resort in times of stress and strain. We feel confident it will be well patron ized.
 We wish to say, however, that although entering the chapel will give one a moment of quiet; it will not necessarily give one a moment of peace.
 The promise about the peace of God which passes all under standing, guarding the heart and thoughts, is only given to believ- CTS who cease worrying and who ''in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make their requests known unto God, who is fable to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think" See Phil lippians 4:6-7 and Ephesians 3:2O.
 A person entering the chapel with his sins upon him, must look by faith to Him who made peace by the blood of His cross, 7 before he can enjoy peace. For the Word says: Therefore be- ing justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans SID.
 It is true as the prophet Isaiah said to the Lord: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: be- cause he trusteth in Thee"

GOLD NEWS

It appears that the gold mine operators who were shut down by War Production Board Order L-2O8 in 1922 have lost their last chance to obtain damages from the Government. An ear Her decision by the U. s. Court of Claims was in favor of the mines and stated they were en- titled to damages. The Supreme Court has now overruled that de- cision and says that the Govern ment is not liable. This is quite blow to a lot of gold miners who have hoped for many years for proper retribution from the Government for their losses caused by being closed down.
 The Senate Finance Committee has approved legislation which
