DARE FARM CENSUS
Agriculture Will Likely Report
Smaller Resources Now
Than Five Years Ago

The 1859 farm census now I'M
derway in Dare County, and all
other counties is calculated to
bring up to date farm statistics
last collected in 1854, the Census
bureau announces.
While a great deal of logs were
sold at that time, sales We're re-
ported at only $25. Farmers in
Dare, the report shows, sold live
stock and livestock products to the
total value of $4,853; poultry and
dairy products in the amount of
$753 iscluded.
It was reported that everything
sold by farm operators totaled
only $7,156, which did not equal
the cost of maintaining a farm
agent to help them. Of this total,
field crops brought 1886; vegeta-

lWOODMAN CAMP AT
IHATTERAS LASTS
If OR At Y E A R S
Membership Once Up to $50
Now Down to IS; Old
Charter Is Preserved

In possession of D. M. Gray of
Hatteras is the original charter OF
Oak Camp No. 524, Woodmen of
the World, dated October 9Th 1912.
The parchment is as clean and in
good shape as when new. The story
of this benevolent insurance order
which once had nearly 100 men,
bers, and now has 35, has been one
of service to the people of the COM
mmity. Only Dan @. Oden of its
original officers are living. The
charter, issued at the home office
in Omaha lists them as follows:
Levin A. Dudley, Council Com
mander; Fred Austin, Advisor
Lieut.; John w. Meekins, Banker;
w. L. Gaskill, Financial Secretary;
C. M. Gray, G. T. Peele, and A. P.
Odin, Auditors; D. S. Oden, watch
man; D. Q. Oden, Sentry; DR.. E.
w. Jones, Physician.
At present the only operating
officers are D. M. Gray, Council
Commander, who keeps possession
of the charter, and A. S. Austin,
Clerk. For many years, the Camp
maintained large two-stoly hall
which it built in its early days. As
the older members died or became
inactive, and with many other new
diversions at Hatteras, the hall was
not needed and was sold. Its record
of uninterrupted operation has only
been exceeded in Dare County by
Wanchese Masonic Lodge.
While rates have increased, some
of the members carry insurance in
varying amounts at low rates. For
instance one member carries ST.
600 at an annual cost of $4S.40. In
many instances, Woodmen of the
World were furnished tombstones
of the orders special design for it's
members. Many such stones may be
seen at Hatteras. One such stone
is at the grave of the late A. w.
Jones, in Manteo Cemetery. Mr..
Jones had been Supt. of Schools
in Dare County, and held other
county offices.

Kappa Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi held it's monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Ruth Mclean. Letters of appreciation were re- ceived from all delegate chapters, as well as from each delegate, who attended the convention here last month. All letters commented on the wholehearted support the Nome chapter received from the community, and expressed appre- citation for the friendliness, hospi- tality and many courtesies ex- tended to the delegates by the people of Nome. Nome's Beta Sig ma Phi Chapter has received many beautiful gifts from sister chap ters throughout the state.
 Ruth Mclean, as convention chairman, was honored by the chapter with a surprise birthday dinner at the North Star Seaview Dining Room on April l.

 Still Under Acting Governor
 For the second consecutive Alaska Legislature, the lawmak- ing was conducted under an act ing Governor.
 Two years ago, when the last Territorial Legislature met, Re- publican Waino Hendrickson was the acting Governor in his capa- city as appointed Secretary of State.
 For the first state session, cleo ted Secretary of State Hugh Wade served as chief executive.
 He was acting in place of Will liam Egan, Alaska's first elected Governor, who was hospitalized two hours after his inauguration last January 3.
 Egan came back to assist Wade in the closing hours of the Legis- lature.
 He specifically informed the Legislature that he was not as- suming the duties of his $25,OOO- a-year office and that Wade would remain as acting Governor.
 Egan is expected to undergo ad- ditional surgery to clear up a gall stone condition later this month, and Wade was expected to remain as acting chief executive until later in the summer.

$27K Million State Budget Gets Nod In l asst Action

JUNEAU, Ri - Both houses unanimously agreed Wednesday to accept a conference committee re- port recommending severa l changes in the 271z million dol lar state general expenses budget for the coming fiscal year.
 Chief among the changes rec commended by the committee would be a contingency item of $55,500 for civil defense, which would be in addition to an appropriation of $15,30O contained in the budget bill.
 The additional funds would be contingent on Ian inventory of civil defense property, establish ment of property controls and gen. eral standards of civil defense functions"
 It would be up to the Governor to decide when the additional funds would be made available to the Civil Defense Agency.
 The civil defense problem arose after a Legislative Audit Com mittee investigation reportedly found fault with the way the agency had stored provisions in event of an emergency.
 Another major change in the bill would make it possible for the State Fish and Game Depart ment to make immediate use, if necessary, of contingency funds appropriated in the budget.
 A total of S529,145 was called for in the bill in event the state obtained control of it's fish and game resources this year.
