SECTION TWO Wilborne Harrell • The Roundup WEATHER NOTES: “If winter comes, will spring be far behind?” Let us hope that spring will be hard on the heels of this winter—He who laughs last, laughs best. People kid me about wear ing so many clothes in the wintertime; but for several days I have seen other peo ple overcoated and muffled and booted. Nqw who’s laughing? Anothen thing I’ve noticed about bad weather, jt seems to slow up time. Everything is in a state of suspended animation, like Mrs. Nixon, 83, Taken In Death Mrs. Dixie White Nixon, 83, died Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bristoe Perry, Route 3, Edenton. - She was a native of Cho wan 1 County.

OBSERVATION: I have read every article and edi torial and listened to all the broadcasts on Vietnam that I could find, or has come to my attention; and my reac tion to them has been that we are fighting an unwin able war. And if we con tinue on this course our ac tions will lead to a major confrontation with commun ist China, and maybe to World War 111. I cannot analyze this feeling, neither can I break it down into specifics. Full-scale modern war is unthinkable and” President Johnson, the Unit ed Nations and all respons ible governments should help find a peaceable solu tion to Vietnam. There is an honorable way to peace and if we seek diligently we find it in honor. It seems that the British intercepted the transmission of Luna 9’s soft-landing on the moon and broadcast it to the world before the Rus sians. Now, I say, old boy, was that cricket?

I Bridge Work On Schedule RALEIGH A new fixed span bridge across Currituck Sound from Point Harbor to Kitty Hawk will be com pleted and ready for traffic on July 1, 1966. State Highway Commission Chairman J. M. Hunt, Jr., said Friday he had'been in formed by J. L.

Wright Brothers who flew the first heavicr-than-air craft on the dunes at Kill Devil Hills in 1906. Plans for a formal dedication and open ing of the new bridge are i indefinite. The new span will have a vertical clearance of 35 feet, a horizontal clearance of 40 feet, and a clear roadway i width of 28 feet. , The contract calls for the bridge to be made available . to the Highway Commission ■ on July 1, 1966, and gives i T.
