In Memoriam
In loving memory of our
mother and sister who passed
away several years ago this
month.
All we have is a broken heart
Since both have passed away;
We can see their faces before
us
And still feel their hands in.
ours.
The last look they both gave us
Still lingers in our minds;
No one knows the longing,
A few have seen us weep.
We shed our tears with an
aching heart
While others are sound
asleep.
We have missed you both every
moment
Since the day you passed away.
So we all hope to meet you
Both in heaven some sweet
day,
Where all tears will be wiped
away.

Ever Burn A Log This Old?
By WILL CURTIS
CHAPEL HILL?Imagine
burning a 100 million (100,
000,000) year-old log In your
fireplace!
Logs this old are found
scattered about North Car
olina's coastal plain, and they
not only burn, they burn bet
ter than today's wood.
But few people recognize
them as anything but worth
less old logs.
In reality, they are "price
less" relics of another age.
According to Dr. Daniel A.
Textorls of the UNC Geology
Department, these logs were
growing as trees during the
Cretaceous Period, or about
100 million years ago.
They have survived their
trip through time because they
were burled In dense clay near
the ocean. Sealed In the clay
like beans In a giant can,
the logs were protected from
the atmosphere and could not
decay.
i"he logs were parts of trees
swept up by streams during
floods and trees uprooted by
streams undercutting their
banks. Carried to the ocean,
they came to rest In lagoons,
estuaries and inlets near the
shoreline.
Deposition later covered the
logs with many feet of clay
and silt. Still later the ocean
receded, leaving the entombed
logs far Inland. Only recently
have the overlying sediments
been eroded and the logs ex
Dosed.
While burled the logs were
Ugnitlzed - dehydrated by
pressure from the overlying
sediments. Their low water
content i s what makes them
burn so well, Dr. Textorls
says.
The Ugnltized wood Is light
In weight and a dark choco
late color, but otherwise It
looks much like dead wood
you see today. It came
from hardwood trees, such as
oak, maple, birch and walnut,
which were similar to modern
types.
Also found on the coastal
plain are Cretaceous trees
which have been petrified.
These are similar to the llgnl
tlzed logs In origin but have
not kept their original com
position.
While buried they were ex
posed to underground waters
carrying silica In solution.
The silica replaced the wood,
turning the logs into stone.
Some of these petrified
logs are three feet In diameter
and thirty feet long, Dr. Tex
toris says.

2,528 feet northeast of Secon
dary Road 1128.
The statement said the
Highway Commission, "as a
public service, Is prepared to
give relocation advisory as
sistance to families so dis
placed." It Is anticipated that
some families will be displac
ed by the demolition or re
moval of buildings.
One segment of what has
long been designated as the
"missing link" of Interstate
85 has been completed with a
four lane highway north from
rnuc J
Durham to tlfo Neuse river,
which is dow in use. From the
river to Henderson, the exist
lng highway Is so connected
with traffic as to constitute a
menace to safety for motor
ists. Even If first units ot the
Henderson - to - Neuse river
road are let this year, It Is
expected that two or three
years may be necessary for
completion and opening of the
entire distance.
