of course, is not covered by

eight branches in this area,
reported considerable repair

Cite Policy Changes +
Some insurance officials
think part of the high volume
of roof repair claims can be
traced to changes in standard
homeowner policies. Within
the last two years Maryland,
Virginia and the District all
approved new versions per-
mitting insurance against GER
tain types Of storm damage
without the usual $50 deduct
ible feature.
This meant a homeowner, by
paying a few extra dollars
could buy a policy obliging MS
insurance company to pay for
such damage including the first
$50. To be sure, there still are
some loopholes, but the new
policies have prompted many
to file claims. The wording in
the Maryland version, for eX-
ample, covers loss due to
weight of ice, snow or Sleet

ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR
FARMERS ARE AVAILABLE

SWAN QUARTER - Additional
funds have been made available to
help meet the needs of eligible
farmers who need operating money
to carry out their farming opera
tions, Daniel B. Willis, county SUI
pervisor for the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration announced.
Mr.. Willis said that $35,000,-
900. contingency fund provided by
the 1861 Agricultural Appropria-
tions Act has just been released
to the Farmers Home Administra-
ton to meet the growing demand
for credit.
This move was taken by the u.
S. Department of Agriculture, Mr..
Willis said, in an effort to make
certain, within the authorities and
funds available, that no qualified
family-type farmer will be required
to give up farming because of his
inability to finance his 1861 opera
tions.
Because of high operating costs
and unfavorable margins of profits
many farmers have exhausted their
regular sources of farm operating
credit. The amount of operating
loans made so far this year by the
Farmers Home Administration tot
ais 20 percent higher than last
year. The credit Agency's biggest
lending season lies just ahead as
farmers prepare to start their
spring work.
The Farmers Home Administra-
ton make operating loans primari-
ly to help eligible farm families
make improved use of their land
and labor resources on family-type
farms and make needed changes in
their farming systems. Most of the
changes call for adopting better
farming practices and improving
the efficiency of their farming OPP
erations. Loans may be made to
qualified farmers who carry on
smaller than family-type opera
tons. ..
Operating loans help farmers
pay for equipment, livestock, feed.
seed, fertilizer, tractor fuel and
other farm and home operating
needs including the refinancing Of
chattel debts. Loans are scheduled
for repayment in accordance with
the borrowers ability to repay,
over periods up to seven years. The
interest rate is five percent.
Further information on these
loans may be obtained from the
county offices of the Farmers
Home Administration located at
the Lupton Building, Swan Quar-
ter.

COMPANY PROPOSES TO
BUILD BRIDGE NEAR
ANCIENT BEECHlAND

The West Virginia Pulp and Pa
per Company, Manteo, has made
application for approval of plans
to construct a fixed bridge across
Milltail Greek in Dare County,
North Carolina, lit miles above
the mouth of the waterway.
Plans showing the location and
navigation clearances of the bridge
mey be obtained from the Corps of
Engineers, Wilmington, or may be
seen at the courthouse in Manteo.
Near this point, the old Dare
Lumber company used to maintain
a drawbridge. The old span was
sold to Dare County when Roanoke
Sound was bridged. 1t was used as
a one-way draw span at that point
for several years until the State
Highway Commission took over the
bridge, and replaced it with a new
bridge.
Near the proposed West Virginia
Pulp & Paper Co. Bridge, is Beech
land, the ancient settlement believ-
ed by many to have been the final
home of the Lost Colony.

tional taxes this year. The people
now must rely on Mr.. Fearing to
stand up for their rights, and pro-
tect them from wild and radical
schemes tending toward extrava-
gance and waste, and the building
of an irresponsible political ma
chine. Of course Mr.. Fearing may
wish to be accommodating, and
not offend those who would have
it in their power to retaliate by re-
ducing his income. At the same
time, as one of the larger property
owners, he would also stand to
benefit by the status quo. All the
Board has to do, is to refuse to re-
lieve the present tax collector of
his obligation to collect the taxes,
as has been done so long, through
accepting any sort of settlement at
the end of the year. This situation
was permitted, until three years
ago an accumulated sum of $780,
600 in uncollected taxes stood on
the books. Much of this money
was lost, due to people moving
away, and other reasons. At that
time, Pennel Tillett, the county
tax supervisor, was burdened with
the job of rounding up some of
this money, and without complaint
on his part, or extra pay, his eff
forts resulted in getting in about
$4,000 of money that the tax col
lector elected by the people had
neglected to go after.
A better showing could be made
in tax collections if the duly elect
ed collector had pride in the job,
and put some of his deputies on
the road to help out, rather than
merely send out notices, and ac-
cept only such money as is mailed
in, or brought to the courthouse,
mostly by non-residents, on whom
the county depends for about 20
per cent of its tax income.
