What happened to the column
last week; Well, it’s like this ... I
Major Aynes returned from the
severt week school at Sandia Br.se, !
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we J
took a short leave. We visited my;
twin and brother-in-law, Lieut.
Cmdr. and Mrs. Robert C. Bam
hardt, Jr., at the Naval Academy :
at A/inapolis.
In away, I was glad I missed
getting out the column, because so
many people asked why it wasn't
in the paper. I was pleasantly sur
prised to find the column has so
many readers.
Other Marine families have been J
away on short visits, too. Cherry
Point was the destination for most
of them. Capt. and Mrs. John Bax.!
ter and daughter, Ann, were guests;
of Capt. and Mrs. Ainsworth, i I
Chaplain and Mrs. John Mates also , |
saw the Ainsworths at Cherry
Point while combining business <
with pleasure. Capt, and Mrs.
George Metz saw Mrs. M. K. Pey
ton while at th e large Marine Air
Station. Mrs. Dayton Robinson and j
children were spending part of the
time Capt. Robinson was on maneu
vers with Capt. and Mrs. Reed,
there.
Maj. and Mrs. H. F. Smith have
been to Washington, D. C„ visit- |
ing friends.
Mhj. and Mrs. Charles Jones re
turned from a two weeks’ leave in
Florida where they went swimming
every day.
Maj. Perry P. Mr Robert returned
to Edenton from Boston, where he
had .gone to see his father, who was
serihusly ill. With hint were his
wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. How
ard Payson. The Paysons stayed I
with the Me Roberts several days i
enjoying their small grandson.
Scott Payson Mcßohert.
Week-end guests of Major and
Mrs. E. K. Griswold were Capt.
and Mrs. Stewart Schuyler of
Carqp Lejeune.
Capt. and Mrs. Harold B. Roth.
Jr., entertained her family last.
week-end. Her parents made the
trip from Annendale, Va., to visit
the Roths.
Mrs, Dwight Douglas, widow of
Lt. Douglas, is spending some time
in Edenton with Lt. and Mrs. Rich
ard Trundy.
Lt. and Mrs. Louis Gasparrae.
Jr., are new residents of Edenton.
At the business meeting of the
Officers’ Wives Club, Wednesday.
November 2, plans were made for a
pot-luck dinner to be given Novem
ber L Hostesses in charge of ar
rangements will he Mrs. Russell
Dyer, Mrs. Richard Skinner, Mrs.
Harold B. Roth. Jr., and Mrs. H. S.
Lowrey, Jr. Wives of officers with
last names beginning with letters
A through H are asked to bring
desserts; I through Q, main dishes,
and R through Z salads. All are
asked to bring enough to serve
twelve. There will be a fiftv-cent
charge for bachelors and invited
guests. The nursery will be open
from 5:30 P. M., that evening.
The Officers’ Wives Club was
also asked to take over the refresh
ment and Senior hostess jobs for
the month of December for the
USO Club. They accepted, but I
wonder if the ladies of the town
know that it is most unusual for
officers' wfves to participate in
USO work. In most other com
munities it "just isn’t done”. There I
are reasons for it. The men are
uncomfortable to find that the Sen.
ior hostesses are officers’ wives.
The object of the TJSO is to enter
tam the servicemen away from the
base. For a man to discover his
C. Ol’s wife is chaperoning a party
makes it just another base activity
and the whale spirit of the com- I
inanity making him welcome is I
lost.

r SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS j‘
J By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Soil Conservationist
On October 28. six district co
operators received bream fingcr
lintr-' from the U. S. Fish and Wild,
life Service. The fish were deliv
ered to Fdenton by truck and each
eooperator came to Edenton to get
his fish. These fish were placed
in newly constructed ponds in the
county. Ponds were stocked 1,000
bream per acre.
District cooperators who receiv-1
ed fish were W. E. Bond, W. W.
Harrell, Lonnie R- Harrell, R. T.
Harrell. Bristoe Perry and J. H.
Hollowell. These men will receive
their bass in May. 1956. District
cooperators may get fish for their
ponds by making a request through
tile local Soil Conservation Service
office in the (lost office building in
Fdenton.
Louis E. Francis. W . S. Morris,
R. C. Holland, Mrs. E. E. Harrell,
and C. H. Small are digging a
dragline ditch from Macedonia road
I to the Thomas E. Ward farm. Mr.
Francis is chairman of the group
and bids for the construction are
. now being accepted by him. Tile
■ new ditch is designed to remove a
two-inch rain every 24 hours. This
ditch will improve the farm land
, very much.
T. B. H. Wood has dug a live
-stock watering pond on his farm
at Greenfield. The pond is 40 feet
■ wide by 185 feet long and 10 feet
deep. Side slopes are 1 to 1 with
a cattle ramp of fi to 1 slopes oil
each end of the pond. This pond
had 1.500 cubic yards of material
removed. ASC is helping Mr.
Wood with the cost of this pond.
Claud*. Small of Edenton has de
cided to wait until the spring to
do his ditching.
A meeting was held Monday
night, November 7. at 7:30 o'clock |
on tile A-Lano group ditch. E. L. j
Ward, C. T Griffin, Jak,. Stallings,-’
W. F!. Cox, W. S. Privott, John
Stallings, R. E, Leary and B. C.
Hare are all oil this group ditch.

servation District foi‘ assistance.
Now is the time to start on your
I .drainage, both tile ami open ditch.
We plan to get a tile machine in
