voted efforts contributed more to
the ultimate success of the prof.
ect than any other person 1 know.
/ refer to Mr.. Gordon Rule, who
is counsel for the NAEBM in
Washington. He is here today, and
/ just want to say, "thank you,
Gordon, for your part in making
possible this Award to me-"
I would like to tell you the re-
suit of the Federal Boating Act
of 1868 that gives me the greatest
satisfaction. This may surprise
you, but / refer to the high de-
gree of sincere and harmonious
cooperation which has taken place
between the States and the FEEDER
al Government. True, we gave
them the framework to make this
possible, but only through the en-
lightened efforts Of people in the
38 States that have supplemented
the Act, and the Coast Guard,
could such genuine cooperation
ever become the reality it is today.
This joint Federal-State cooper
alton is an outstanding example of
what can be done when men set
their minds to it, and / am sure
that recreational boating in the
United States will benefit greatly
from it.
/ want to assure you that there
will be no hasty or restrictive fed
eral legislation to adversely affect
recreational boating. AS we said
in our Study Report, our Commit
tee will observe the progress made
by the industry on construction
standards for pleasure boats and
what is being done to assure the
new boat buyer some safety
knowledge before he takes of II
1 his boat the first time. Later in
this Session of the Congress we
may have a brief hearing to re
view efforts along these lines II
date.
Again, I want to express my
deep appreciation for this grea
honor.
Thank you!

BIZ VICTOR MEEkINS

It is with regret that / acknowl,
edge my extended neglect of many
things to which I would have at.
tended with pleasure. ! have beer
prevented by a succession of ILL
nesses to answer many letters that
have come to me requesting infor-
nation about our area, and to
acknowledge the many cards and
other messages that were sent me
while sick. l am grateful for hav-
ing been remembered by so many
people; and letters and cards are
now reaching me several days aft
er having left the hospital. l al
ways appreciate good friends, more
so because of having found several
false ones.
To those who desire information
about the area, / suggest they
write the Dare County Tourist
Bureau which has means for for
warding information. Letters in
tended for the newspaper should
not be addressed to me, as it
might be many days before they
could come to my attention. 1t may
be sometime before my usual
strength and vigor returns; it
takes a long time for one to re-
cover from long period of over
work. During the past two years,
/ have overtaxed my strength in
working for numerous causes. I
regret that I am not producing
the usual quality of editorial copy,
and many people tell me they miss
it greatly.
/ was disappointed in being un-
able to take in the Sanford inau-
guration. There are many salts
factions in meeting old acquain-
tances of many years standing. /
look forward to successful ad-
ministration under Terry Sanford
as Governor of our state.
Being prepared otherwise, my
plans are to take the Mrs. next
week to Kennedy's Inauguration. 1
hope illness will not upset these
plans, for / believe this event will
be one to be long-remembered
with pleasure.
1t has been a delight to me that
we have been favored with such
delightful weather during January.
1t augurs well for the coastland
through 1861.

VETERANS ARE WARNED TO
HEED MISSIONARIES

=
Disabled veterans, and depend
ents Of deceased veterans who re-
ceive monthly pension payments
are urged to complete their an
nual income questionnaires accu-
rately and completely and return
to the Veterans Administration
promptly to prevent their payments
being stopped.
J. D. DeRamus, Manager, Vet
Grams Administration Regional Of
fee, Winston-Salem, said that APP
proximately $4,000 questionnaires
were mailed to pension recipients
in North Carolina. The question
|naire is in the form of tabulating
card upon which the income re-
port may be made.
Several thousand have already
been returned to VA, said Mr.. De-
Ramus, but unfortunately they
have not been fully completed, and
must be remailed to the veterans
or widows. All items on the form
must be completed and where the
appropriate answer is none,
"NONE" should be inserted. When
signature is by mark, two witness
es are required.
Regulations require payment to
be stopped if the income report
is not returned to the VA within
80 days, Mr.. DeRamus pointed out,
which makes it imperative that the
forms be returned Immediately.
