PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR INSURANCE
FROM FLOODING
Rep. Bonner Says Funds May
Be Provided Soon TO Hous-
ing and Home Agency

Congressman Herbert c. Bon
ner has stated that he feels
prospects good for early action
by Congressional Appropriation
Committees to provide funds to
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency, the Federal agency re-
sponsible for the administration
of the Federal Flood Insurance
Act of 1866.
In replying to a letter from
M. L. Daniels, Jr. of Manteo,
the veteran Congressman ex-
planned that the Federal Flood
Insurance authority was the out
growth of legislation he had in
troduced early in 1856 but that
failure of the Congress to ap-
propriate funds to. the admins
tering agency precluded effec-
tive implementation of the law.
= Congressman Bonner further
said that Sin view Of the coast
wide devastation of the Allan
tic coastal storm early this
month and disastrous storms in
Louisiana, Texas and other
places last year, believe the
prospects Of favorable action by
the House Appropriations Com
mittee are very good" He said
that he had talked to a number
Of members of Congress "who
feel as ! dor that the Federal
Flood Insurance Act Of 1866 is

desirable means Of assisting the
public with protection against

caused by major storms.
In conclusion, Congressman
Bonner wrote: ~ am making

support needed to help alleviate
the distress and great individual
and public loss incurred through
such major disasters not COW

lection.

The meeting was called by the
county commissioners in an at

assistance in delegating author

ROTARIANS HEAR
BRIDGE OFFICIAL
AT MON. MEETING

The New Oregon Inlet Bridge
will be completed by June Is,
1854, according to Rotarian r.
p. Maui, who spoke to the Man
teo Rotary Club at their Mon
day night meeting in the Manteo
Motel Restaurant.
Maui, the Mclean Contract
ing Company's assistant secre-
tary and treasurer, stated that
engineering work is already
underway on the approaches,
that test, pilings win be driven
soon and that by June of 1854
the $4 million dollar structure
will be open to traffic."
Mr.. Maui was introduced by
Frank M. Szmajda, local bus
mess office manager of the Ore
gon Inlet bridge job, who also
introduced William T. Sutton Of
London Bridge, Va, superinten-
dent in charge OF construction
for the project.
The assistant secretary stat
ed that the bridge will be curved
inshore from its approaches,
will be approximately two and
one half miles in length and is
expected TO cost $4 million when
completed.
A unique feature Of the struc-
ture, according to Maui, will be
fishing catwalks on each side
of the bridge which will extend
for q distance Of 1900 feet from
each shore end. The driveway
across the bridge will have a 67
foot fixed span clearance over
the main channel and will be %
feet wide.
He stated that while several
pieces Of company-owned float
ing gear has arrived and is now
in use at the project, peak en-
pioyment is not expected until
work has advanced on the
bridge.

comfortable eXlStance. why
should We worry about Others?"
1t was almost too late for us to
abandon this foolishness in World
War II and bring help to our al
lies. If we had waited much
longer. the outcome of the war
could have been very different
and we could have found
ourselves under Nazi control.
Do you see now, how We are our
own wrose enemies in our battle
against the Communists =. how
the strength Of Communism is
no greater than our own weak
nesses? Our country at its best
cannot be matched by the
Communists system. but unless
we are at our best. the danger is
serious. Because Of our ignor-
ance. they stealthily encroach
upon our freedom, but we do not
notice they make preposter-
GUS bluffs, that we believe, but
we should know better. Because
of our apathy. others fall to the
Communists-needless losses, do
ing irreparable damage to the
ar1nor Of democracy. Because
We have lost our convictions, and
the communists find We ars will
ling 10 concede. they will use
their methods of intimidation
more and more. And last. be-
cause we have lost our faith,
we have lost the meaning of
life. We look to false gods. but
when the show down comes, our
false gods will desert Us.
When we regain what we have
lost-when we regain our moral
and religious strength, only then
will the tremendous. inherent
strength Of the American people
prevail. We can begin to look
for some positive action for the
preservation of our country and
our ideals. We then have three
courses Of action that we may
follow:
!. We can capitalize to the Rus
slams.
2. We can attempt to co-exist.
3. We can set out to destroy Com
muniSm.
The first course Of action is

worker can remove silage fas-
ter than a mechanical unloader
of average size. However. the
unloading rate may not be too
important. since unloaders need
only a limited amount of atten-
ton.
These studies point out an
other significant fact a me
chanical unloader handles corn
silage at a much faster rate
than it does grass silage.
Unloaders are available for
silos up to 30 feet in diameter.
It is not necessary to buy a
separate mloader for each up
right unloader. says Calhoun. A
single unit can be moved from
one structure to another and re-
duce the cost per ton of silage
handled.
Operating cost of this equip
ment is low. says the engineer.
Studies in Ohio show the cost of
electricity amounts to about five
cents per ton for corn silage
and about 8l2 cents for grass
silage.
This is only part Of the story.
however. Says Calhoun. I'm con-
sidering this method of unload
ing silage. farmers should give
careful consideration to all costs
both fixed and operat-
ing costs. The amount of silage
the unit handles per year is a
big factor in per ton costs. For
100 tons per year. costs amount
to $1.46 per ton. But if the unit
unloads 500 tons per year. the
cost is reduced to about Sc cents
per ton"

stock Of what We really want to
save. and load our guns before
they become rusted and useless.
Yes. We must be willing to ne
gOtiate. As free people it is our
obligation to explore every con-
ceivable means of preventing .
war. but we must not approach
these conferences with any hope
Of accomplishing anything. It is,
rather. the fulfillrrRnt Of our
moral obligations and. 1t also
gives the Russians a chance for

are in position in which one
OF their many bluffs has been
called.
Finally. there is the chance
for diplomatic retreat in case
they are in position in which
one of their many bluffs has
been called.
Finally, there is the chance
that they will attack. At pres
ent. nothing could be farther
from their minds. With Commune
-sm making giant strides every
day. without war. they would be
foolish to attack the United
States. in a war which. even if
they could win. would destroy
themselves in the process. The
only possibilities OF an attack
from Russia are: % II they
have weakened us to the point
where they are sure We cannot
retaiate effectively. and 90 A
desperation attack which
might be launched only if the
Communists are losing ground so
fast that any delay would ruin
their chances forever. Nevelthe-
less. the possibility Of a Russian
attack still exists. Here. our
Christian courage will stand us
in good stead. 1t is this Christian
faith that will save us. It is this
spirit that will build a brave new
world = a world of good men,
and free. When we have this
faith. the question will no longer
be. Glow can we deal with the
Russians. but. ''H0w can the
Russians deal with us?" And,
for the Russians, there will be
no answer.

that the real Russian goal is

Weakness Ne. TIVE: Apathy
This second weakness is close
" related 10 the first. but the
chief reason that it exist is
this: Communism has not direct
" affected us yet. 50 far we
are still living a relatively easy
life enjoying cur freedom. and
disregarding the fate Of the few
people abroad who dare to
stand up to the Communists. Aft
er all. we don't want to inter-
fere. we might get our feet wet.
So we have been appeasing the
Russians. But we have been lv-
ing an easy life too long a
luxury paid for by the lives Of
others-the freedom Of millions
now behind the iron curtain-and
the gradual, but definite loss of
our self-respect. The day may
come when we will have to meet
the Communists on our own shOr-
es. and out present apathy for
the fate of others will weigh
heavily against us then.
Weakness No. Three: Fear
One Of the greatest weaknesses
we must face is fear The
Communists know this. and are
exploiting it to an amazing de-
gree. Witness the 100 megatOn
