Three Fires Cause !
Firemen To Be Busy M
Thursday Last Week
Most Damage Done at,
J. J. Long Residence | i
On Church Street
Edenton’s volunteer firemen had a 1
busy time Thursday when they were
called out three times, two of the I
fires being in Edenton and one at
the W. E. Bond farm on the Suffolk'
highway.
The most disastrous fire occurred
at the J. J. Long residence on West
Church Street, where Fire Chief K.
K. Hall reported the fire was caused
by defective wiring on the back porch.
The porch, kitchen, upper story back
rooms and living room were badly
damaged by the fire and smoke. Chief
Hall estimated the damage at about
SI,OOO.
The other Edenton fire was at the
Eden Cox residence, 119 East Carter-]
et Street, where a flue fire caused
damage estimated at $25.
At the W. E. Bond farm a grass'
fire threatened to cause damage, so 1
that the firemen prevented further
spread of the fire.
Scouting Around
-By-
PETER CARLTON
Scouts and Scouters have been hav- :
ing a pretty busy time of it the past
two weeks. It seems that when en- j
thusiasm is hot it catches on to some- j
body else. But then that’s not un-!
usual for civic minded people in a
civic minded area as the Albemarle. |
In Edenton Coach Tex Lindsay is j
also Scoutmaster of Troop 170. And ;
Assistant Coach Ben Askew is As- i
sistant Scoutmaster of Troop 156 in j
Edenton. Coach Lindsay also in col-1
laberation with Mr. Askew heads the]
teen age club.
In Hertford Coach Max Campbell j
is also District Committeeman of •
Public Relations for the West Albe
marle. G. C. Buck, teacher of Ag
riculture in the Perquimans High
School was formerly Squadron Lead- f
er -of an Air Scout Squadron in Hert
ford.
In Chowan County Charles Over
man, County Farm Agent, hot only
is doing a bang-up job in 4-H activi-l
ties, but is also able Scoutmaster of
Troop 156.
Rocky Ho»k Troop has begun to
function. While it is not as yet j
chartered, it is getting off to a heal
thy start. O, C. Long is: Scoutmaster
and Alphonso Spivey is assistant. '
This troop is, sponsored by a group
of interested citizens in Rock Hock, ,
among whom are: Stillman Leary,;
Chairman: John Parrish. Gilbert liar- '
felly Committeemen. The boys who'
were present for the first meeting
were: Thomas Leary (who was
elected acting Senior Patrol Leader).
Wilbur Harrell. Carroll Evans. Mary
land Harrell, David Ober. Jack Leary,
Isaac Harrell, Killy Leary. Raymond
Layton, Sh.-rlan Layton. Aubrey Lay
ton,. Ralph Harrell (also. Troop
Scribe). it is interesting to note
that Silver Beaver Izzy Campen offers
an engraved watch to the: first Eagle ;
Scout of this Troop. District Coin- ■
missioher Geddes Potter offered to
donate the Troop colors as soon as
t hey are registered.
John Holmes, District Rotary Gov-j
ernor. Superintendent of Schools of !
Edenton, and Chairman of the Organi- j
zation and Extension Committee re-!
ports that Troops or Neighborhood
Dens are expected in Cross Roads, j
Yeopini, Gatesville, Ryland, Hobbs-'
ville and Corapeake. “Civic Clubs,
Churches, Schools, Ruritans, Interest
ed Citizens Groups, are eligible to
sponsor Scouting and Cubbing Units,”
says Mr. Holmes, “A great deal of
credit goes to Charles Overman,
Scoutmaster of Troop 156, and mem-1
ber of the Organization and Exten-,
sion Committee of West Albemarle,”],
states Mr. Holmes. “Despite the
fact that family illness kept me from]
going along to complete the reorgani-!
zation of the Rocky Hock troop, on!
which initial steps were taken by i
this Committee a few months ago,]
Mr. Overman went out on many Sun
days to complete the organization!
for the boys.”
W. J. Taylor, Supt. of School* for
Chowan County, and Secrets the
Lions Club in Edenton, was asked
about his son, W. J. Taylor, Jr., an
Eagle Scout and one of the best
Scouts of Troop 166, who is now away
to prep school. He was asked about
the future plans of the boy. Music
to the ears! —W. J., Jr. wants to be
come a Professional Scouter. If I
thought I had anything to do with
that decision, I’d walk around with
my head in the clouds for days, (daze)
It is interesting to note the caliber
of men who are active on the Health
and Safety Committees of both East
and West Albemarle. Dr. W. S. Grif
fin, Dr. Payne, Dr. Bonner are serv
icing the west, and Dr. J. J. Parker,
Dr. J. Grier, Chief Walter Spence,
Elgin White and W. J. Overman in
the east. “When thinking of Health
and Safety in connection with Scout-1'
ing,” says Doctor Parker, “it includes
not only medical examinations, in
spection of meeting places, but pro
tection of the Scouts on Camping ■
trips, boating, swimming, cooking,
water supply, hiking, marksmanship,
traffic control, disaster mobilization,
self protection and the protection of
others; it means teaching the Scout
to be self-reliant and prepared.” The
Health and Safety Committee helps
to staff the Leadership Training
courses given by the Scouters Univer
sity under the Chairmanship of San
| ford Aydlett, in the East and Izzy
ICampen in the West. “There will be
courses given Scout Leaders in Red
Cross Life Saving by qualified Scout
| ers who are or will be Red Cross in
-1 structors. Emphasis will be placed
! upon developing strong swimmers
j among the Scouts and leaders and in j
promoting water safety habits,” con-!
eludes Dr. I’aiker.

Twenty-nine years ago, In 1917, your Red
Gross was given the proud title, “The
Greatest Mother In The World.” Today after
the greatest struggle in history, that title has
been retained. The list of services your Red
Cross has given our Servicemen your Ser
viceman is almost endless.
Blood plasma made the difference between
life and death to many thousands of «jr men.
Food parcels packed by the Red Cross
meant survival to many of our men in prisoner
of war camps. Medical kits and capture par- *
cels were provided wherever possible. Red
Cross workers distributed release kits to
thousands of prisoners as soon after their
liberation as possible. Red Cross Clubs have
sprung up by the hundreds all over the world
... wherever the Armed Forces went... sup
plying a warm touch of home for lonely, home
sick lads.
