This course will be taught in the home economics room at the Edenton High School with Miss Josephine Grant as instructor, and Miss Rebecca Colwell, chairman. The course, which will be for both white, and colored, will require 20 hours of 1 study with five classes of two hours each held weekly. Mrs. Pruden wishes to emphasize , the importance of this c<»urse, espee- I ially due to the fact that it is ex , pected to inaugurate canteen service iin Chowan County. In order .to i qualify for canteen service a worker i must have completed 20 hours of 1 study in nutrition and the same num ber of hours in canteen service. There i are some who have taken only a can , teen course, while others have had I only the nutrition instruction, and in | order to have as many as possible I qualify for canteen work, this nutn -1 tion course was planned. 1 This course will be followed by a | canteen course, of which Mrs. J.

Chairmen Appointed In Various Schools In County Mrs. J. N. Pruden announced on Tuesday that the Junior Red Cross Roll Call will-begin November 1, and i ] continue through November 15. Though last year the Junior enroll ! ment campaign was held simultan eously with the Roll Call, this year, due to the need of gearing the Junior Red Cross program into school organ izations, ' the campaign cannot be delayed until the Roll Call in March. It is realized now more than ever that boys and girls of the nation’s schools wish to share in the work of the Red Cross and when given the opportunity through the Junior Red Cross, they will respond. During the enrollment campaign each class in the schools will be re quired to contribute at least 50 cents, while in the high schools at least SI.OO is required for each 100 stu dents. While the contributions are very small, the goal will be to enroll every boy and girl in every school, for potentially they are the Red Gross of both today and tomorrow, and the Red Cross needs their active partnership. In order to thoroughly organize the enrollment campaign, Mrs. Pru den, Chowan County chairman, has appointed the following chairmen in the various schools: White Schools Edenton—Miss Sarah McDonald. Chowan High School—Mr. Thomas W. Elliott. Rocky Hock Central —Mrs. Mattie ‘ i Nixon. * Colored Schools Edenton—Miss Emma foreman. Hudson Grove—Mrs. Thelma Spell- ; man Morris. Green Hall—Charles L.

Bonner on Monday announced on the floor of the House that he was delighted to learn that the Smithsonian Institute had at lastrecognized the Wright Brothers Plane, the Kitty Hawk, which was flown at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, as the first heavier-than-air ship to rise in sustained flight. The plane is now in the Kensington Museum in London, and was sent there due to the controversy between the Smithsonian Institute and the Wright Brothers, and the fact that the British Aeronautical Society had recognized the plane to be the first motor-driven, heavier-than-air ship to fly, while the Smithsonian Institute had not recognized this fact. Congressman Bonner stated that he hoped the plane would soon be return ed to America and placed in the Kitty Hawk Memorial, the shrine ithat has been built by the U. S..
