to have held an Italian ex-
hibit this year. or one from
any Of the highly developed
countries. But In the light
Of Vice President Nixon's un-
happy experiences in South
America last year. he de-
cided 1t was important to de-
vote attention to that part Of
the world.
Hence during the past year
he sent experts to the South
American countries where
fine fabrics are developed to
show them how to turn out
the same designs in the
softer colors that will be
worn in North America and
Europe. He's had Inca de-
signs sent to the looms Of
) France and Scotland for re-
production in exciting new
silk lanes and woods. He's
had decorators teaching
South American weavers how
to turn out fashionable
table mats in. the proper
size, and artisans how to use
the materials they have to
make all kinds Of objets
dart.
Talking over some Of these
plans with him last evening

EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD
VISIT ELIZABETHAN GARDEN

Roanoke Island could easily be
called one of the most beautiful
spots in North Carolina at pres
ent. The dogwoods are putting on
their annual show, and from the
Manteo town limits to the north
ern tip of the island, they will
reach their peak this week end or
early next week. With continued
good weather they will be in full
flower for the Pirates Jamboree.
The Elizabethan Garden, sponsored
by the Garden Club of North Car
DINA, and situated just north of
Fort Raleigh, is one of North Car
olina's choice garden spots, and
with the dogwoods and azaleas in
bloom, the grass a brilliant green,
and the boxwoods and other ever
greens putting forth new foliage,
both in the sunken garden and on
the paths, the Garden should GER
tainly be visited by everyone on
Roanoke Island in the next two
weeks. 1t is a part of the island
of which every citizen can be just
ly proud. Expert planting and
pruning added to the natural
growth, and the view across the
water, have made a harmonious
landscape of it. Many visitors are
expected there during the Pirates

WESTERN CAROLlNlANS
ASK NIGHT FERRY TRIPS
Petitions Sent to Dare Commissioners
to Forward to Governor Hodges.
Supporting Local Requests

Requests from the area for night
ferry trips across. Oregon Inlet
and Alligator River have come
from about 75 people of Forsyth
County, in the form of petition
to Governor Hodges. The petitions
are being forwarded through the
office of the Dare County commits
sioners.
The Dare Board was advised
this week that more petitions are
coming from interested people in
Buncombe and Mcdowell counties.
1t is refreshing to get support
from such distant and unexpected
sources which goes to show that
North Carolina people generally
are in sympathy with our needs,
and they too, when visiting in this
area, wish for better accommoda-
tions.
A recent action of the Highway
Commission approved night serv-
ice across Alligator River during
the Lost Colony season only -
July and August. No approval was
given the Oregon Inlet request
which had been made by the coun-
ty board, and from many other
sources.

HELlcOPTER DOES JOB
FOR CAPE HATTERAS
WEATHER STATION

First phase of a difficult job
was completed at Buxton Thurs
day when two Sikorsky helicop-
tiers of U. S. Marine Air Group
26, Camp Lejeune were used to
air-lift radar gear from the top
of the 80-foot tower of Cape Hat
teras Weather Station.
The second phase, lifting new
radar equipment to the top of the
tower may be completed on Friday
if weather conditions are favorable
for the helicopters to do the job.
Engine trouble developed with the
giant HR2SI helicopter shortly
after noon making it necessary to
postpone the local Operation ra-
dar gear lift"
1t. Col. w. R. Rozier pilot of
the big copter was in charge of
the lifting operations. His CO.
pilot was Major Joe Keller. A
smaller HRS Sikorsky was pilot
ed by Maj. H. G. Henneberger and
his co-pilot 1t. L. E. Jacobson.
They were accompanied by several
enlisted men who acted as ground,
flight and tower crewmen on the
job.
The big helicopter's first chore
was to remove the large plastic
dome from the tower top. Almost
Immediately the smaller copter
was over the tower to take the 10
foot antenna to the ground and
then the heavy antenna base was
removed. This first phase opera
ton was completed in about As
minutes.
The airlift was employed be-
cause it was impossible with is
land highways and the Oregon
Inlet ferry situations being as
they are, to bring in a large
crane.
William T. Fiocca, U. S. Wealth
er Bureau area technician of
Greensboro arrived earlier this
week with requirements for the
antenna and it's heavy base. He
with Melvin Stowe of Hatteras,
acting observer in charge gave
the marines assistance on the
ground.

how some Congressman have been
putting their wives, children and
other relatives on the public pay
roll at big salaries for no work,
and paying themselves office rent
from Government money for using
their back porch. Some of them
have actually been paying salaries
to their sons in college.
"Tax Relief" my eye. We can
get tax relief if those who handle
our money would stop wasting it.
Another thing that would give
tax relief to all who do pay their
taxes is to begin making those
who have got out of the taxpay-
ing habit to come across and car
ry their share of the load. We
have been too long like a lot of
pail bearers, who won't carry any
of the weight, leaving about two
to tote the whole coffin, corpse
and all. Some of us pay our part
out of pride and because we just
can't be seen allowing the corpse
to fall to the ground. The other
fellows who don't carry their part
know we are going to keep up our
end, so they don't worry.
Mr.. Editor, l have about con-
cluded we have been carrying
corpse a long time. Pride and self
respect is dead, so far as many of
our people are concerned. If this
thing keeps going like it's going
now, the American people are 60
ing to abandon this corpse, and
swing hook, line and sinker to any
sort of promise that gives them
hope of relief.
Now you just watch and see if
we get any tax relief.
Yours for more chicken and less

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES:
Prescribes The Only Kind Of Medicine
He Viii Guarantee to Give TAX Relief"
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
All the time / see by the papers
that there is talk of "tax relief
coming out of Washington; it is
coming out of Raleigh, and it is
coming mostly out of politicians
who want to get their names in
the papers, and make folks think
there's a man who wants to help
the people,"
Now l have been hearing and
reading a lot about this 'tax re-
lief" business long time, but
can't recall where anything has
been done about it. l am now about
convinced nobody intends to do
anything about it, except talk
about it. Maybe 1 don't under
stand the whole thing, but it
seems a simple problem to me.
When you don't make enough to
pay your bills, then stop spending
so much.
Mr.. Editor, it don't seem to me
that people are making any more
money these days. 1t may be that
us people who have to get up at
daylight and work until after dark
are a little touchy on the subject
of paying such high taxes for a
lot of things that nobody can see
a need for.
If we really want to bring some
tax relief in this country, it won't
be done by raising taxes. 1t will
have to be done by cutting out
lot of waste and doing away with
things we don't need.
Of course there are some things
we do need, and need badly, but we
will never get them if we spend
elsewhere the money that would
provide them, and throw it away
on things that don't help the peo-
pie.
l have been reading a lot about

TRANT'S COTTAGE ROBBED
OF TACKLE AT BUXTON

The loss of upwards of $100
worth of fishing tackle was dis
covered last week by R. F. Trant
of Norfolk on coming down to his
cottage at Buxton after extended
absence. Thieves had made hand
some raid on this, one of the fin
est cottages on the Cape. There
has been no evidence turned up
and due to the long period that
has elapsed since the cottage had
observation, it is not likely that
anything will be found on which
to bring the criminal into court.
Local officer Raymond Basnett
sent for the Sheriff to come down
and investigate.

MASTERWORKS OF ART
DISPLAYED AT LIBRARY

Open House at the Dare County
library in Manteo Thursday night
drew large crowd of interested
people to view the library dis
plays, which included books for all
ages and tastes. a puppet show,
and an art display.
The puppet show was put on by
children who had attended the
story hours, and who made and
manipulated the puppets, them
selves. This drew many children
and their parents.
Book displays included Notable
Books of 1858, and of a list of Al
of these compiled by the American
Library Association, the Dare Ii
brary has 38 on it's list.
Another shelf held Pan-Ameri-
can books. this week being also
Pan-American week.
Of the books compiled by Cliff
ton Fadiman for a Lifetime Read
ing Plan, the majority are avail
able here.
The highlight of the evening was
the display of the Georgia Har-
wood Art Collection. More than
500 copies of the masters, from
the 18th century to present-day
works, were on display. These in
cluded French, Italian, Dutch,
English, Navajo Indian, Japa-
nese, Chinese, American works,
and others. These pictures were
acquired for the library through
Mrs. Harwood's efforts when she
was librarian. Many of them were
gifts, through her own efforts and
those of Huntington Cairns, head
of the National Art Galleries in
Washington, D. c., and represent
a priceless treasure to the public
whenever they are interested in
using the art library. Mrs. Har-
