THE IMPORTANCE OF
SAFETY IN BOATING
As time goes on, we become
more deeply impressed with the
importance of regulation of motor
boats for the safety and protec
tion of life and property. Increas
ingly we hear comments about the
unconcern and the risk that is
taken by people in overloaded
small boats operating in our
sounds, inlets, and even ocean wa
ters—boats which no experienced
• person would ever consider using
in hazardous places.
Men who come from distant
towns, knowing nothing of the
ways of ocean tides and currents,
the mysteries of the sea and the
moods of nature, look with delight
on an unruffled surface and blithe
ly unload craft that are completely
unsafe for the locality. In* this
boat they pile all that is most dear
and precious to them, their wives
and all their children, and there
are seen more boats overloaded
than otherwise, even in safe wa
ters.
That there have been so few
fatalities so far, has been a mys
tery, and only accounted for by the
confidence of the faithful in a
merciful providence.
Without some sort of inspection,
regulations, and penalties for vio
lations, there is no telling where
the situation will wind up, as the
motor boat craze continues to
grow. It is reported that in New
York harbor alonfe, 100,000 such
small boats are operating, much
to the despair of every operator of
large vessels who must ever be on
his toes to keep from running
over them.
With so many people flocking
to the motor boat craze there is
naturally a large number of peo
ple who are not only ignorant of
the waters but are irresponsible
and reckless. Without a proper
sense of regard for the safety and
the rights of others, they will
zoom close to other boats, or to
swimmers and bathers, and there
by set up a dangerous back-wash,
sufficient to swamp a boat or

There has to be some means of
curbing the foolish and vicious
nature of such people. We devise
many laws for the protection of
the public on our highways, laws
which protect the guilty as well as
the innocent if they are only heed
ed. These laws come in response
to a violent demand that the reck
less and foolish be restricted on
our roads, just as the reckless and
foolish must be driven from our
waters.
Our waters are a wonderful gift
of God, and should be available
for the equal use, enjoyment and
happiness of all people. No person
should have any of these rights
curbed because our country is too
stupid to guarantee the protection
of these rights. We should there
fore gratefully welcome any and
all measures as will tend to in
sure our safety, and the unrestrict
ed enjoyment of ourselves and
others when on these waters that
nature has so generously provided.
Those who fail to observe court
esy to others on our waters should
be warned. Those who then fail to
grant it as a regular habit should
be stomped on. Those who wilfully,
recklessly and foolishly make a
habit of endangering the lives of
others should be driven out of the
country in shame and disgrace and
their rights removed to continue
in the enjoyment of one of God’s
greatest gifts to mankind.

FREE SERVICES TO
AID LANDOWNERS
BEING OFFERED
Southern Landowners Waking Up
to Value of Cultivating Timber
A record growth in the number
of landowners in the South receiv
ing free forestry services from the
pulp and paper industry has oc
curred in the past five years, ac
cording to a statistical report re
leased by the Southern Pulpwood
Jonservation Association, in At
lanta, Ga.
Such services in this area are
being offered to landowners in
Dare, Hyde, Washington and Tyr
rell Counties by the West Virginia
Pulp & Paper Co. through its of
fices in Manteo.
Henry J. Malsberger, general
manager of the SPCA, said the
report points up the “highly sig
nificant progress that has been
made by the association and its
member pulp and paper mills in
providing land owners with direct
services leading to greater prod
uctivity of Southern woodlands.
For example, the 1957 report
reveals that 50,696 landowners in
eleven Southern states had receiv
ed management assistance since
an annual industry-wide survey
was started in 1948, Mr. Mals
berger said.
“The latest study shows that
41,611 landowners were served by
industry foresters in just the past
five years,” the association execu
tive continued. “Compared with a
1948 total of only 465 and a 1952
total of 9,085 landowners receiv
ing nranagemerrt aid from the in
dustry, the recent figure becomes
most impressive.”
Mr. Malsberger explained that
management assistance offered by
association and industry foresters
includes advising farmers and
forest owners on cutting their
trees in a productive manner, rec
ommending what trees should be
left for future growth, or whether
replanting with “superior” tree
seedlings should be undertaken.
Total acreage in the South on
which management assistance had
been provided was 942,000 when
the survey was first made in 1948,
it was explained. Total acreage
through 1957 was 30,604,000 acres
—a five-year increase of
26,607,000 acres over the 1952 fig
ure of 3,997,000, the report said.
The survey also showed that
Southern Pulp and paper mills
were responsible for planting 1,-
288,000,000 seedlings in the region
by 1957—an increase of 883,000,-
000 seedlings over the total of
405,000,000 planted by 1952.
“The significance of the figures
contained in this latest report is
that landowners and the industry
are recognizing to a greater de
gree than ever before the vital im
portance of this growing program
of mutual cooperation,” Mr. Mals
berger said.
“This kind of activity projected
into the future can have a tre
mendous effect on stabilizing the
output of pulpwood from Tivnt.

Turner Twiford, of East Lake,
was having trouble with deer eat
ing his young soy beans. Twiford,
who is quite a trapper and hunter,
tried the “Old Scarecrow” remedy
on the deer. He hung out several
old shirts and trousers to blow in
the wind. Twiford said he saw sev
eral deer come into the soy bean
field shortly after he had made the
scarecrow. When the deer saw the
clothing they ran out of the field
and he has not seen them since.
Twiford said he hated to do this
to the deer. He did not mind them
eating the leaves but the terminal
bud of the soy bean,s which seri
ously damages the beans.
Mrs. Alfonso Smith, of East
Lake community says she has had
lots of trouble with Japanese bee
tles this summer. The beetles have
done lots of damage to her grape
vine and garden vegetables. The
insecticides she has been using have
not been effective. I recommended
that she try Malathion. This insect
like all others goes through a cy
lands, which in turn adds to the
payroll and economy of the whole
region,” he concluded.
The Southern Pulpwood Conser
vation Association was formed in
1939 to aid in improving the prod
uctivity of woodlands through an
educational, informational and
service program directed to own
ers of forest lands.
The association’s member mills
are located in Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mis
sissippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas.

Then it goes through the winter
in the larva and pupa stages and
returns in the summer more nu

more adult Japanese beetles that
can be killed during the summer
months will help control infesta

George Hale Quidley, of Man
teo, is interested in finding out
what his pasture land needs in the
way of plant food. Quidley has tak
en soil samples of his pasture land
and says he is determined to have
a better pasture for his herd of
beef cattle.
Incidently this is a good time
to take soil samples if you plan to
put in a fall pasture or winter
cover crops.
Is yours a living soil? Take a
teaspobnful and sniff it. Feel it,
look at it, and decide if it could
support tiny living things, of
greater numbers than all the peo
ple on the earth. Impossible, you
say, perhaps, if your soil is too
wet, has too little organic matter,

There are several methods of in
