NATIONAL WILDLlFE WEEK
SET FOR MARCH 1924

National Wildlife Week has beer
set for the period of March 49,
"a, 1862, coinciding with the first
day of spring.
Refuge Manager Willie G. Ca
hoon Of Mattamuskeet Refuge stat
ed that the 1862 observance Of
Wildlife Week is intended to high
light problems involved with pre-
serving continental flights of mi
gratory waterfowl. Theme for the
observance is: "Waterfowl for the
Future, by Conservation Of Wet
lands Which Benefit Man and
Wildlife". s.
"Wild ducks and geese are OF
great interest to millions of Amer
icans," he pointed out, "and offer
recreation or esthetic purposes as
well as hunting. Only by preserving
adequate amounts of suitable wet
lands for nesting, resting, and win
tering areas can we continue tc
enjoy and thrill to the flights Of
migrating ducks and geese.
Mr.. Cahoon pointed out that the
numbers of potholes, marshes and
swamps are rapidly dwindling, due
largely to drainage for agricultural
purposes or for uses as industrial
sites, airports or roads. Additional
wetlands have been hit by drought

MANY THANKS GIVEN
FROM c. D. HEADS
Us OR FINE SERVICE 6

| Sheriff Frank Cahoon and til,
Dare County Board Of Commits
sioners have expressed their thank
to the following groups for thei
efforts beyond the call of duty
and hope to show their gratitude ii
q more permanent form when til,
chaos which follows disaster hal
passed:
The Elizabeth City unit Of the
Salvation Army is particularly de.
serving of praise, according to civil
defense officials At 2 pm, just
after the rescue operations were
getting underway, the Salvation
Army set up q field kitchen in the
Kitty Hawk Elementary School
which provided coffee, sandwiches
and many other valuable services to
rescue workers and evacuees. Their
service continued until Thursday
night when an army mess kitchen
was installed there.
Special recognition was also
given to the Elizabeth City unit of
the National Guard which has lived
in the Kitty Hawk Elementary
School without beds, mattresses or
other conveniences. The guard is
reported to have done an exception
al job in providing basic necessities
for the entire area at Kitty Hawk,
but has also been lauded for shar-
ing its mess facilities with evacuees
and rescue workers throughout the
emergency "To a man, their unit
has performed in the finest tradi-
ton of the military, far in excess
without compensation of any kind, ?
the board has stated. The unit ar
rived here in force on Wednesday
night and participated in the eva
cuation of a large number of in
|dividuals.
Employees of the Elizabeth City
District of the State Highway Com
mission, who worked day and night
during the emergency, carrying
people to safety on graders and
trucks, providing basic communica-
tions facilities which proved to be
Of such Importance during the eva
cuation period, have also been singh
ed out for praise. The group has
also worked tirelessly on roads in
the county since the storm began.
The, N. C. State Highway Patrol
has also received the gratitude of
civil defense officials. "These units
have rendered exceptional service
in keeping sight-seers out of the
area, maintaining effective traffic
and have performed creditably in
numerous emergency missions"
says civil defense.
Appreciation has also been ex-
pressed to the dozens of individuals
whose names will probably never be
known, who used trucks, boats, out
board motors and other available
transportation to rescue their
neighbors from exposure and prob
able death after the storm.
The large group of special dep
uties, who escorted beach resi-
dents to their homes to prevent
.looting and helped restore order
at time when their own property
was in serious need of repair cam
not be praised too highly by civil
defense officials.

TOLLS AND TAXES

raleigh News and Observer)
sWere suckers for having toll roads in North Caro-
lima" said James McCamroc of Greensboro, member OF
the State Highway Commission Maybe were suckers but
we certainly haven't got free roads Every driver pays
7-cent gallon gasoline tax That means that ne gets
81 miles gallon he pays third of cent for every mile
he drives.
That may not be toll. Still those who propose toll
roads in this State propose put toll top of tax
North Caroline long ago got away from toll roads and
bridges and it should stay away from them.

When disaster comes, it strikes
quickly and without warning. So
much is done and so little credit
is given. Perhaps it is because Of
poor reporting; or because valor
and modesty go hand in hand.
Whatever the reason, we chose
Ephey Priest because he seems
to typlify the regular guys just
trying to do a job" He would
have preferred, as he says,
somebody more deserving for
the subject of this article.

Ephey Priest from his slumber ear

trudged to the telephone IN a sleepy
stupor. The call was from William

Ephey answered with grunt, put
down the receiver and walked tc
the window to gaze upward towards

threateningly over the coast. He
told his wife about the phone call
in the soft muttered tones of early
morning conversation and left his
house for the highway department
shed and ride to Mays Head.

It was about 40 years ago, and
Mr.. Dowdy was a young employer
in the Durham store. He had been
customers and in the stock room.
This was an afternoon during the

story, and young Dowdy took adj

back to the rear of the store for q

found himself nodding.
