We take this opportunity to express our ^ sincere thanks and appreciation to the many loyal subscrib-' ^ ers and to the businessmen who have used the advertising coluimns. The friendships we have made as we went about gathering the news and seeking advertising and printing or ders have been very pleasant. It was these enjoyable rela tions with our neighbors that gave us the courage to carry on When the odds look unsurmountable. As we launch into this new year, it is with the hope that very soon conditions will be so that we can do a better job. With the fighting over, problems df help, repair parts and transportation should end. Hyde County needs a newspaper to toot its horn, and we propose to give it just that, if the peo ple support it with the same enthusiasm that most of our sub scribers have given for the past seven years. ^0- CROATAN SOUND BRIDGE It is unfortunate that there has to be an argument about the location of the Croatan Sound bridge w'hioh is probably going to be built, despite the long battle df the State Highway Engineering force to discard it. The highway engineers, some if them, have been advocating for several years that the proper place for the bridge is two miles south of the present ferry location. The citizens Of Manns Harbor and Roanoke Island are much up in arms, and quite reasonably so. The feriy’ location is the shortest distance across Croatan Sound, less than three miles. It is across shallow w>ater where short piles would be required. On both ends are road ap proaches already built. The location proposed by the engineers is across the wid- part of the sound, and the deepest, some df it being 20 feet deep. A bridge at this point would be a half miHe longer, it would be a menace to the seaway of the Manteo amphibious o’Neal. Pfc.

Invention of Loom | Boosted Irish Linens | When you look at a piece of beau tiful Irish linen damask. It’s hard to believe that its intricate design was ; woven, thread by thread, on a ma- | chine—the Jacquard loom. It was named for its inventor, Joseph Ma- | rie Jacquard, the son of a French i silk weaver, who got the idea when ] he was called to Paris by Napoleon 1 LOOXTNG AB£AD GEORGE S.

And figured silks, woven in ' China, had been shipped to Europe through the city of Damascus, from which we get the word “damask,” ; for a long, long time. j But the work was very slow and ' tedious. In order to form the de sign, certain warp threads had to be lifted and other's lowered by hand before each passage of the shuttle across the loom. Jacquard invent-! ed a way of making this pattern forming movement of warp threads automatic. The first Jacquard loom was brought to Ireland in 1823. Although linen damask had been woven long before that date, the Jacquard loom j made it possible to weave the most elaborate patterns in sufficient quan tities for export all over the world. and in industry generally, are to be congratulated upon President i Truman’s choice of Fred M. Vin- . son, the new Secretary of the Trees- . ury of the United States. His under taking is enormous, delicate and vital. But it is my belief that no- | body else in government is quite as j well qualified to handle the job as Vinson. | The new cabinet member knows taxes. Things he has said already prove that he is keenly aware of two things that are currently the most important facts about taxes. (1) High taxes are necessary, now and for some time to come. (2) Wrongly devised taxes in the United | States can wreck the financial struc- | ture of the entire world in a few ' months. Dark Ages might visit the j earth again. A Dependable Thing | The “yankee dollar” is one of few | known quantities left in the flnan- | cial world. While this condition lasts, there is a way for weak and depleted countries to gain industrial | and then financial strength.

Their sacrifice was in the name of humanity and pub lic service. A good book given to a public library is a gift to hu manity and a public service. We would like to see the example set by a few people in Windsor en couraged by the public libraries and the practice of giving books as memorials adopted on a large ! scale. Books make fitting, appro- , priate and lasting memorials.

Butter produced in summer has a third more vitamin A than winter butter. Another point brought out in the investigations was that there is little loss of vitamin A and caro tene when butter is stored com mercially over ordinary periods at usual storage temperatures. Caro tene gives butter its natural yellow color. In the human body it is con verted into vitamin A. That vita min A and carotene of milk and butter are dependent upon the quan tity of carotene in the cow’s diet was demonstrated in the i studies. | The cow’s principal sources of caro- , tene' are the fresh green pasture grasses and other good quality roughages.
