The Ocracoke Island pony fenc-
ing fund, under the direction of the
Boy Scout Troop 300 Committee,
L. Taft Howard. chairman, reached
the desired goal Of $1,000 last week,
in fact figures today indicate that
it went "over the top" by about
$3.50. The National Park Service
has designated special grazing land
for the scout owned ponies, num-
bering about thirty five and this
area is to be fenced in. 1t is a
three mile stretch along the high
way on the Sound side about five
miles up the Island from the Viii
lage. Donations to the fund came
from all over the United States,
from summer visitors and friends
who are interested in keeping
some of the Banker" ponies here
on Ocracoke.
Considerable progress has been
made on the Ocracoke paved road.
Sunday being a good day, many
Ocracokers drove as far north on
the road as repair work has
reached, which is about in the vi
cinity of Styron's Hills. About 7096
of the old mating was in good
enough condition to use and where
necessary new mating is being
laid. From Styron's Hills on to
the ferry landing site all new mat
ting will be used. Meanwhile,
weather permitting, the Highway
Department is getting ready to do
necessary dredging in the Inlet at
the landing site. If all goes well,
the new ferry "Ocracoke" will
soon be making the trip across the
Inlet instead of the long emergen-
cy trip down through the Sound to
Ocracoke harbor.

III Recorded Weekly BY III
H Dr. EDvARD ~ gKuHLr1ANN I

in mere thoughtlessness an un-
happy remark is given voice and
some sesitive soul receives deep
wound. Hearts bleed easily, you
know, and we should therefore be
careful of careless words. Such
words, once spoken, cannot be re-
called and the wounds they leave
too often are slow in healing again.
viii Careton puts this forcefully
in these words:
ABOys, flying kites, haul In their
white-winged birds,
But you can't do 1t when you're
flying words.
Thoughts unexpressed may some~
times drop back dead,
But God himself can't Kill them
when they're said.v
Supplementing this thought,
Louis Albert Banks, in writing to
the youth of our land, tells of see-
ing sign from a moving train
which read, "Shut Your Ashpan."
Flashing past his eye he wondered
what it might mean, but when
few moments later his train thun-
dered across long wooden bridge,
he had his answer. He recognized
at once that flaming Goals falling
from an open ashpan might set
the bridge afire and endanger pass
engers and crews of other trains.
He knew now that the sign had
been placed here to remind those
manning the engines that crossed
this bridge to guard it against the
hazard of fire.
Now it might not be amiss daily
to imagine the placement Of the
same sign before the eyes of many
who are prone to be careless in
what they say. True, purdists
might call it STOPPING to slang to
clothe an admonition against care
less speech in such impertinent,
inelegant words as shut Your
Ashpan," but we care not for the
expression has the vividness and
the force necessary to drive home
the truth we wish to convey.
Then, too, the signs basic
thought approaches Scripture very
closely, for the imagery it employs
is akin to that of James when In
the New Testament he writes,
Behold, how great a matter
little fire kindleth! And the tongue
is a fire - it defileth the whole
body and setteth on fire the course
of nature and is set on fire of hell"
(James 1859
Therefore, if you will pardon the
mixing of our metaphors, we would
say again, "Shut Your Ashpan;"
we must not wound with words.

Weekly Tree Talk

Spray Timed Right VIII Control
Tree-DestructiVe Cankerw0rms
Cankerworms are a trees worst
enemies in May. In many areas
these wriggling green worms
often called inchworms or lOpers
after their manner of locomotion
will be abundant during the next
few weeks.
Don Cantwell, District Manager
of the Bartlett Tree Expert Co.,
says that when infestations are
heavy cankerworms can defoliate
trees. They feed on elm, oak maple,
hickory, apple, ash, ironwood lin
den and beech.
Look into your trees as soon as
new leaves appear. If tiny holes
are seen, chances are good that
cankerworms are feeding. Don't
wait until further damage is done.
Spray with arsenate of lead or
DDT. Time the spraying to coin
eide with Natures built-in time
table, the bloom of Towering dog
wood. It then will be most effec-
tive.
Unchecked, cankerworms feed,
grow fat and spin silken threads.
Often the worms drop onto garden
furniture or on clothes of pass
ersby. That can be annoying. The
very young cankerworms are car
ried about by winds.
Curb DOgwOOd BOrers Now
Dogwood borers generally at
tack weakened dogwood trees in
the spring. They lay eggs where
bark is loose. Larvae that hatch
then girdle trunk and limb. The
Bartlett Tree Experts suggest ex-
amining the lower trunk for areas
of loose, rough bark. Tiny holes
from which sawdust exudes may
indicate borers are already with
in. The most effective controls
Paint the trunk and branches
where rough bark is found with a
slurry of DDT. Then feed the
trees to boost vigor.

ships, then become populous in the
next county.
Don Cantwell, District Manager
of the Bartlett Tree Expert Co.,
reports Boy Scouts this spring
have been picking off egg masses
from trees and burning them. This
is indeed a wonderful effort. He
emphasized the need of burning
the egg masses before Matching
occurs. Tent caterpillars build
unsigntly gray silken nests on the
forks of apple, wild cherry, and
other fruit trees. They also defol-
late nearby trees. AS soon as the
tents are the size of a tennis ball,
spray them forcibly with any
good contact insecticide. Never
burn the nests in the tree. Burn
ing can scorch the branches, do
the tree more harm than good.

Boys List Date
Tips For Girls
(P Newsfeature

ARE YOU popular with boys? If
not, why not? Here are 20 tips to
help you get along with the oppo-
site sex, all pointers suggested by
young men:
/. Save your gossip for hen part
les. The boys are not interested,
or so they say.
2. Dress to suit the occasion of
the date. Overdressing embarrass-
es the boy as much as underdress-
ing does.
8. Let him be a gentleman. If
you open doors and put on your
own coat to save him the trouble,
you're being silly. A boy has much
more respect for a girl who flat
ters his ego in that respect.
4. When you are with him avoid
talking about dates with other
boys.
Boy Is Boss
5. Let your date make decisions
about how you will spend the
evening. If he insists on your as
sistance, then make suggestion
s. Avoid being too critical of
others your parents, teachers,
neighbors, etc. 1t may give the i'm
preston that you can't adjust to
minor difficulties.
z. Give the young man the i'm
preston you've enjoyed your even
ing with him, unless he has been
rude.
8. When out with boys, do not
table hop.
9. Be sure to observe good table
manners.
10. Stay with your escort at a
dance Don't act eager to dance
with other boys, particularly those
on the stag line.
IL If he forgets to bring you a
corsage, don't spend the evening
pouting. He'll have more respect
for you if you ignore the omission
even though every girl in the room
wears one.

THE MOUNDS or WORDS

THE WOUNDS OF WORDS
Scr words are powerful things:
They are sweet as the bees fresh
honey.
Like the bees they have terrible
sfings.v
The balm of spring is in the air.
The great outdoors calls us - as
Bryant puts it in Thanatopsis -
to "go forth under the open sky
and list to natures teachings"
Our journey today is purely an i'm
agined one and our destination a
quiet little steam. We make no pre-
tense of fishing. It is enough to
play truant for little while from
the noise and the rush of the city
to hold communion with the
flowers and the trees and the
twittering birds. Near US let
ting our imagination roam bit
farther = are two lads and you
watch them fishing with line and
hook. Suddenly one lad, deeply ag-
itated because he thinks some
giant member of the finny tribe has
laid hold of his bait, violently jerks
up his line and the empty hook
catches itself in the other lads
cheek and deeply imbeds itself
there. It is our task to dislodge it.
It requires delicate handling for
the barbs of the hook let go re-
luctantly. At best they leave an
ugly, jagged wound. Lads should
exercise more care when casting
lines that carry sharp hooks.
Leaving now the pathway of inn
agination, go with me to the time
when l needed to deal with SIM
liar but real experience. Late one
afternoon, returning to my study
in the parish house, find a MEM
Der of my congregation awaiting
me- 1t is evident that something is
deeply disturbing her; she finds it
difficult to keep back the tears.
And now it is my task to dislodge
sharp barbs from a quivering
wound. AS a careless lads throw
of line and hook deeply wounded a
companion, so here a heart is
throbbing with pain. Why? Because
some one has been careless with
words. Words have barbs, too, and
oh, what ugly wounds they leave! /!
The boy that was fishing did not
intend to hurt his friend - he was
only careless. And it is nearly al
ways true that when words cut
deeply into sensitive hearts, they
are spoken without any intent of
giving pain. Deliberate malice is
seldom in evidence; it is just
thoughtless people careless in the
use of words. Possibly in jest, pos
sibly in a flare of temper, or just
