Scoutin' A round By PETER CARLTON ACTIVITIES that just now come to light. Nick < George casually mentioned how a doctor friend of his came to Edenton to spend a few days in resting up from his work, not long ago. They went fishing ' v '.. on Pembroke Creek. The day was one that artists long to paint in colors. Nick was apologetic be f#*» cause the fish weren’t biting. The “doc” replied: “What difference does it make? Just to be out here on this quiet creek, breathing in the fresh, aromatic • air, and relaxing from the cares of business and the rapid pace of city life, is worth its weight in gold.” Within the next few days our neighbor and home town booster, Nick George, flew his friend in easy hops by Piper Cub to the Sound and to the Ocean for fishing. Said Nick, “Just think of it, we are within a few minutes flying,* time from just about any kind of fish ing and outdoor recreation a person could desire.” o San Juan, the Capitalof Puerto Rico, has a most efficient woman, ( recently elected, as City Manager. Her name is Felisa Rincon de Gautier. The City has a popula tion in the several hundred thous ands we are told. .From reports about her past record it appears that she really is on the ball. We received a letter from her written in the most beautiful and correct English, which makes us pause to reflect, that fundamen tally people are the same in their instincts of friendship, interest in what the other fellow thinks, and in making this a better world in which to live. (Exclud ing despots and tyrants who seize the reins and bring misery on untold millions as emplified I in this last war). But the inter change of ideas goes a long way to that goal toward which man kind is perpetually groping, the goal of—peace on earth, good 1 will towards men. o A most notable occasion which is j celebrated in Puerto Rico is El Dia de los Ancianos—"The Day of the Aged”. Patriarchs and Matriarchs everywhere in Puerto Rico occupy the limelight on this day—April 18. There are colorful tributes and fes tivities designed to honor the aged throughout the island. This day has been officially celebrated since 1933. (Seems that we folks are sort of get ting away from paying homage to our old people. We’re so busy flap ping our gums that we are missing the invaluable history, folk lore, and experiences that are ours for—the "listening.”) 0, I BULOVA, GRUEN, ELGIN and LONGINES WATCHES CAMPEN’S JEWELERS t Husbands come in / different sizes" i —iaS) xtißa r.

Cm. ’ The Inter-American Historical , Association has notified City Manager de Gautier, “mayor” of San Juan, that the Puerto Rican Capital has been chosen by the Association for its next historical * congress to be held in 1948. The previous one was held in New Orleans. i o We took a trip to a place three miles from Eure, N. C., known simply as the “Story Brothers” plantation. The trip by car and good road took fifty minutes. Years ago a little boy and his parents used to go up to visit with his grandparents on this same trip—they left by boat on the Chow an River where they secured a state room for sleeping purposes, around 9 P. M. The boat used to pull out after midnight and get them to Tunis around 11 A. M. the next morning. Here they took the Atlantic Coastline Railroad to Eure where grandfather met them with the horse and buggy, for the three mile trip to the planta tion. The little fellow was the son of Doctor and Mrs. W. S. Griffin of Edenton. The little “doc” introduced [ the writer to his Uncle Duke who will | be 99 years old in July, and two of his other Uncles —one 84 and another 77 (Uncle Peter). One was living in Winton, three miles away—age 87. What stories they could tell. What history and background—priceless— they must have, crying to be told. We didn’t have much time to talk —but we did have a chance to behold the splendor of the long leaf pines that tower, majestically, standing unsul lied by human touch for centuries, on this plantation that goes back to 1831 or so, and still in the family. We passed through a town that was once the thriving scene of a "chill tonic”! manufacturer—Roduco. Was in great j vogue during the "malaria” era. (We’ve got much untouched, intense ly interesting material for the crea tive writer in this area). —■ —o— Northeastern North Carolina cer tainly has much to offer the tourist in the way of relaxation and sport.

It plans to help those who| want diversity of fishing, to make ar rangements for their convenience. It hopes to have an airplane taxi service encouraged between Manteo and Edenton or any other point in the Al bemarle. There are great possibili ties for “all’ in the Albemarle along this line. The tourist trade runs into the billions. Let’s make the Albe marle a place for vacationists to come for longer periods, and during the whole year. Several Carribean areas joined together their financial resources this past season to boost the trav el trade. They put thousands up on thousands of dollars into a gigantic “kitty” for this purpose. We here in the Albemarle have the “natural” resources of a vacationland. The mechanical, physical, including buildings, can be had if we can arouse the people to the possibilities—the unmined gold—right here before our eyes. o The Great White Way of the Col onial Capital can be a source of great attraction to shoppers. Many people “window-shop” carefully before they buy. Those windows that are per sistent in using their "silent sales man” in the form of well lighted and attractive windows and displays, no doubt can report that it “pays”. One progressive shopkeeper will verify this. According to the law of aver ages—even in salesmanship—the amount of sales will be in proportion to the number of opportunities pros pective customers have in viewing the merchandise . . . and an attrac tive, carefully arranged, enticing dis play ... is “sales talk on the Q. T.” o There’s a movement on foot which urges people to “see Amer ica first”. _Before going off to Europe. We should have a move ment to urge people, schoolteach ers and schoolchildren to “see North Carolina first.” Rotarians Discuss Chowan County Richard Elliott, acting as president of the Rotary Club in the absence of President C. W. Overman, Thursday, conducted a rather unique program, when he asked members to speak not longer than one minute about some phase of Chowan County. Responses were very interesting, ranging all the way from agriculture |to opening of the swinuning pool at the Edenton Air Station. Regarding the latter, Mr. Elliott stated that as • the new president of the Rotary, he intended to contact various organiza tions to the ehd that the pool will be available to Edenton people during the summer. CRAWFORDS ON VACATION ■ Dr. and Mrs. George T. Crawford i left early Saturday morning by car for Florida on an extended vacation. They expect to be away for two weeks, during which time they will visit in Florida and Cuba. Charlotte Bunch, In Recital, Pleases Audience At School Aided By Misses Nelle Perry and Susan Thigpen Miss Charlotte Bunch, in her piano recital Thursday night, delighted a large crowd of friends in the high school auditorium. Aside from Miss Bunch, Miss Nelle Perry and Miss Susan Thigpen also contributed to what was one of the most delightful programs in a long time. During the program Miss Bunch was present ed two baskets of lovely flowers and at the close of the recital refresh ments were served in the hall. Opening the program Miss Bunch played “Preludio III” by Bach and “Six Variations” by Beethoven, fol lowed by “Juba Dance” by Dett and "Three Moods and a Theme” by Klemm. Next on the program Nelle Perry sang “Come to the Fair” and “Ave Maria” with Miss Susan Thigpen as accompanist. Miss Bunch then played “Rhapsody In Blue” by Gershwin. The last number on the program was a duet, “Grieg Concerto”, by Edward Grieg, with Miss Bunch and Miss Thigpen on the two pianos.
