I shall at-1 tempt to give you some highlights cf the trip. Enroute to Jamestown we stop ped at Warwick, Virginia and visited the Mariners Museum. There we saw maritime exhibits of many nations, which included souvenirs of cruisers, trade ar- ( tides, cargo captured from ships,] boats, submarines, etc. Among l them were, just to name a few — the first successful steam boat:] the Santa Maria which was largest of Columbus’ three ships he used when discovering Ameri ca; the Aquitania, which was used as a troop transport in World War II; the Susan Constant, Godspeed, j and Discovery which were thej ships used bv the settlers of | Jamestown. The famous Queen Elizabeth was also in the group along with the Jet Submarine. There were many interesting things to see. Now let’s visit Jamestown for a! while. As we all know the first permanent English settlement in America was at Jamestown, Va. Our first visit to this citv was to the Old World Pavilon. Every thing in this building came from the British Isle and was donated by the British. We visualized the historical background of the col-. ony. I After leaving the Old World | Pavilon, we visited the New! World Pavilon. In this building we were brought up to date on (M\\ RESIDE YOUR HOME, WINTER 70 IT- Om'W.A/OIV IS THE TIME you rooo^^- C WC«I T*A»£MARKS, Uc. / — > v\ New Ruberoid Color Grained Asbestos Siding —will give you an all-new looking home at the v same address. 10-Lb.

This we observed when we visited the Glass House. We also visited the reconstruct ed James Fort. Since the Indians were on the island when the first settlers came here, our trip would not have been complete without hav ing an opportunity to observe the Indian way of life. By visiting Powhatan’s Lodge we were given an insight of Indian life. As we visited the Church Area on Jamestown Island we saw the Ivy Covered Old Tower, the only standing ruin of the 17th Century Jamestown. It is believed to have been constructed as a part of the first brick church begun in 1639. The Memorial Church, adjoining the tower, was erected in 1907. j This is just a beginning of the sites in Jamestown. After leaving Jamestown, Va., we went to Williamsburg, where we saw the pageant “The Found ers.” This outdoor drama was about the earliest days at James town. We enjoyed it to the ut most. If you would like an interesting place to go, I would suggest visit ing Jamestown and Williamsburg, Va. There is so much to see and I am sure you will never forget. ERNEST WARD, JR.. SPEAKER AT E. CITY ROTARY MEETING Town Clerk Ernest J. Ward, Jr., was speaker at the Elizabeth City Rotary Club’s meeting Mon day night. Mr. Ward in his re marks pointed out the value and importance of the tourist busi ness. According t o reports, he said, the average tourist spends three and one-half days in North Carolina and spends about $6.50 per day per person and that North Carolina tourists travel by automobile and spend more than $350,000,000 per year. To hold and draw more tourist travel, Mr. Ward said, it will be necessary to see that roads and facilities in this section are the best obtainable. AT FIREMEN'S CONVENTION Fire Chief W. J. Yates and a) ■ Owens left Sunday afternoon to I attend the State Firemen’s Asso- I ciation Convention being held at i Carolina Beach. They are ex pected to return home today (Thursday).

Christopher Fry’s “The Boy With A Cart” is a delightful and fun-giving drama of tenth-cen tury England. The play is seri ous in the extreme and yet plays with the special brand cf the Fry humor that has made him a hit maker for Broadway. The story is of the building of a church, and yet the theme might be more clearly expressed as the working together of man and God, “like root and sky.” The Answer Teacher What is meant by Hobson’s choice?

Coast Guard Unit Checking Motorboats Continued from Page I—Section 1 Motorboats of Class 1, 16 to 26 feet in length, have the same re quirements as those of Class A, while additional requirements are necessary for boats of Class 2, 26 to 40 feet and Class 3, 40 to 65 feet. It is very important that all life preserving equipment carry a U. S. Coast Guard-approval num ber. Violators of these regulations are liable, in most cases, to fines of SIOO. “Safety on our recreational wa terways is the resplt of common sense, courtesy and education,” says Vice Admiral A. C.
