Red Official
Gets AK for
Meat Deal

MOSCOW, Feb. IS (AP).-
w. A. Kavol was doing all right
as Communist Party chief al
Gorshechen In the Kursk dis
Itrict until q local boy got wind
of what was happening back
home. Unfortunately for Kavol,
1.-THE local boys name was Nikita
Khrushchev.
For miles around Kursk,
where as q lad Mr.. Khrushchev
worked in his fathers Kali
novka blacksmith shop, Kavol
Twas known as q fast man with
Q ruble and one Of the best
Ifixers in the business.
Then Kavol thought he would
have himself kicked upstairs
Instead he found himself kicked
out.
Pravda reported yesterday
THAT Kavol pulled q meat deal
by persuading the manager Of q
state cattle purchasing agency
to sign Q receipt for IL million
pounds Of meat supposedly de-
livered to the state.
Then Kavol's promotion to
deputy chief regional admins
TRAITOR for cereal products came
Through. But some higher au-
Ithority suddenly thought
Where is all that meat?
That was one question
Kavol's fertile brain could not
answer.
At this point in stepped Pre-
inner Khrushchev, who has been
tracing around the Soviet Union
like q threshing machine al
harvest time looking fol
crooked farm belt officials to
mow down. Mr.. Khrushchey
singled out Kavol as an ex-
ample Of how not to deal with
q state agricultural enterprise
The betting on the Kurck
grain markets now is that the
courts soon will retire Kavol
from circulation for o consld-
cradle spell.

GOLF COURSE PLANNED
ON ROANOKE ISLAND TRACT

Construction of a "Pitch and
put" golf course was started on
Roanoke Island properties of DR.
w. w. Harvey by Ball and McCuis-
ton of Morehead City this week.
It will take about one month,
with good weather prevailing, to
complete the 18-hole course, the
fairways and greens of the facility
will be ready for use by June 1,
when the summer vacation season
begins.
A "pitch and put" golf course is
the type many wealthy estate own
ers have constructed on heir pro-
|perties for private use and prac-
tice. Smaller than a regulation
course, the fairways will be from
125 to 1876 yards in length and the
green will be somewhat smallcs
than those Of regulation courses.
To be known as the Roanoke Is
land Golf and Country Club the
"pitch and put" course will be To-
Gated on Is acres Of Harvey pro-
|perty north Of U. S. Ga between the
east approach of Croatan Sound
bridge and Drinkwaters Folly. II
will be open to the public and char
ges will be made for green fees.
Philip X. Ball, landscape archi-
tect of Ball and McCuiston is here
to design and supervise the con-
struction. Bulldozers were schedul-
ed to be on the scene Thursday
morning TO start clearing the fair
ways.
"This course is expected to be a
fore-runner of a larger and regula-
ton size golf facility in this area
said DIR. Harvey,
Previously in years gone by there
were indications that golf courses
would be constructed on Roanoke
Island and Southern Shores, but
none ever actually materilized.

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MEN
UNDERTAKE CREMATION JOB

Efforts have been made for the
past several days to cremate the
carcass of 47-foot whale which
floated ashore near the Hatteras-
Ocracoke ferry docks recently.
The burning job is being conduc-
ted under the supervision of NPS
Ranger Jess Stamey of the Nation
al Seashore. The carcass is on pro-
perty about one mile south of Hat
teras village that is under jurisdic-
ton of the National Seashore.
To accomplish the cremation job
a truck load of old auto tires are
being used to start the fire each
in the oily carcass. The operation
on occasions has created consider
able smoke, and when the wind has
blown from the southeast, the odor
of it all has been waited into the
village.
Burning or cooking whales and
porpoises is not exactly new along
the Outer Banks. Trying blubber
from sea mammals was one Of the
first known industries for residents
of the area back in the days when
whale and or porpoise oil was in de-
mand as fuel for illumination or
for fabrication purposes. The indus
try was abandoned long ago, and
no one in recent years had bothered

NORFOLk - A reporter who
talked his way past an armed
guard to cover one aspect of the
Lindbergh kidnapping case retired
Jan. 81, after 40 years in the news
paper business.
He is Ralph I. Pool, scholar.
ly and jovial member of the Edi
torial staff of The Virginian-Pilot.
In his retirement Pool plans tx
complete exhaustive research or
The early history of Roanoke Is
land and then write a book on the
Inflated lost colony. In connection
with this project, Mr.. Pool spent
considerable time in Dare County
this week. He has always been a
loyal and helpful friend of the re-
gion, and we'll rooted in the area,
having come from a prominent
Pasquotank County family. One OF
his uncles was Judge on the Ala
bama court of appeals. He died
last year. His grandfather Mills
was a longtime employee Of the
Treasury Department.
Pool began his career as a school
teacher. A native Of Pasquotank
County, N. c., he graduated from
Elizabeth City High School and
edited the first magazine published
by the school. He finished his edu-
cation at the University of North
Carolina and then spent three years
as school teacher in Pasquotank
and Chatham counties.
World War I interrupted and
Pool Joined the Field Artillery.
lAfterward, he was principal of
Fork High School, Pasquotank
County for two years.
During this period, Pool had been
serving as editor of the Elizabeth
City Herald. It was this work that
lied to his decision to switch careers.
When the Herald closed it's doors
he accepted position on the news
staff of The Daily Advance where
he was employed for about year
before becoming state editor of The
Virginian-Pilot in 1922. He had
also done considerable work on The
Independent, owned by the late w.
o. Saunders.
Pool returned to Elizabeth City
lin 1925 as associate editor of The
Daily Advance, but was back on the
news staff of The Virginian-P Pilot
three years later. In the interim
he has held numerous positions,
giving him a diversity of expert
ence few newspapermen enjoy to-
day.
His interest in that early Dare
County saga goes back TO state
