Despite winds blowing up
wards of 100 miles an hour
and temperatures that some
times dipped to 60 degrees be-
low zero, Philip c. Nicholson,
jr., of 1902 Clagett dr., Rock
vile, never caught cold While
working in the Arctic Circle
on this nations Distant Early
Warning radar system.
But he's had more than one
cold since he returned a year ago
to Montgomery Countys relative.
ly mild climate.
Nicholson, Sc, worked for West
ern Electric Co. as a communica-
tions systems expert out of An
chorage, Alaska. He lived year
with so other men in heated tents
while outside, arctic gales roared
with the sound of an express
train.
Only now, that the immense
job of helping to protect America
from sneak air attacks from the
north has been completed has
Western Electric released the
story of the men who built DEW
When Nicholson was assigned
to DEW by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Co. in Oc
tober, 1857, he had no way OF
knowing whether he would be
able to bring his wife and two
children out to Alaska AS il
worked out, he couldn't.
1t was in April of that year that
he first saw his family in Los
Angeles where his wife was visit
ing her family. When he stepped
from the airplane that brought
him from Anchorage, Mrs. Nichol
son was the first woman he hao
seen in six months.
Nicholson and hundreds oi
other men worked on the highly
classified project in areas ever
Eskimos Stunned during winter
months. Now finished, the DEW
line consists of string of radai
stations across the upper edges
of Alaska and Canada.
These stations could alert Amer
lea to invading jet aircraft in time
to mount retaliatory forces.
Nicholson worked nine houl
days and was given the very bes
in food. "When l left home,
weighed 220 pounds. When l go
back, 1 had fallen off to III
pounds and was fit as dollar,
Nicholson recounted.
He said he cut down on his
Starches and sometimes at as
many as five and six steaks
a day. And the pay wasn't
bad either. Nicholson mailed
about $500 home every week.
His biggest form of relaxation
was taking long walks on Sun
day. These walks and Sunda!
walks back home were as differ
ent as night and day.

FARM AGENT SAYS SOIL
GOOD ON ROANOKE ID.

Just about everyone in Dare
County who is gardening this year
has a pretty garden. Soil in Dare
County and especially on Roanoke
Island is productive. Many out
siders often wonder why the first
settlers came to Roanoke Island
or how they grew enough to live
once they arrived. The soil on the
island is deceiving, for given half
chance it grows pretty gardens.
Willis Daniels, of Wanchese,
must have made some sort of rec
ord growing strawberries this
year. He picked $40 quarts of ber-
ries from his Il acre strawberry
patch. Mr.. Daniels said his Blake
more berries were unusually tasty
this year. One of his customers on
the beach told him that they didn't
even need sugar.
Daniels garden success is not
all luck by any means. He works
long hours in his garden. He wash
es and prepares his vegetables
well, and is always searching for
some way to improve his garden.
To be a good gardener reminds
me of man l once knew who had
very large tobacco farm. Almost
every year this man made more
money from his tobacco than any
person in the county. | asked him
how he did this. He said, Il cult
waite and tend to each hill of to-
bacco just like it was the only
one l have" 1t is almost impossible
to keep a person like this from
being successful.
Cedars and Apple trees Just
don't mix!
Frank Richie, of Kitty Hawk,
has the answer. Richie says, "a
good sharp axe will do the trick"
Richie has been trying to grow
apples near cedars for a good long
time. He has been plagued with
disease called Cedar-Apple Rust.
He tried about everything on the
market to keep his trees
from contracting the disease
but had no success. Richie
says his apple trees might get the
disease next year but they will not
get it from the ones in his yard
because he has cut the cedars
down and carried them away.
1t is believed that the high hui
Nudity and the prevailing winds
have made the disease difficult to
control.

this total some $500 acres were

1t is estimated that it will cost
$500 a year to operate and main
tain the pumps and system for ar
economic life of so years. The re-
turn is figured to be 1852 for each
dollar invested initially. Other ben
efits such as retaining land pre-
viously abandoned may accrue
from the proposal.
Before the project could be eff
fected, a drainage district had to
be established so that maintenance
and operation can be assured.
Specifically, the owners must:
Provide, without cost to the
United States, all lands, ease
ments, and rights-of-way necessary
for construction, maintenance, and
operation of the project; hold and
save the United States free from
damage due to the construction
works, and from all past damage
in the area herein under considera-
ton, which may have been caused
by saltwater intrusion as a result
of construction of the land cut of
the Inland Waterway; obtain and
hold rights-of-way to present ca
mails involved in the improvement,
including the extinguishing of all
present claims of rights, title, and
interest to any of the canals; con-
struct all necessary bridges and
culverts for roads, and construct,
enlarge, and clean all canals and
bitches necessary for the efficient
operation of the project; and MAIN

completion.
