Cactus, the reluctant mule, just doesn't seem to want to be a circus performer. But Uncle Zeke,
her trainer, is just as stubborn and insists that she go through her routine twice a day, to the
| delight of all the children attending the Royal Wild West Circus. The circus appears in Norlina on
' May 5 for the benefit of the Norlina Volunteer Fire Department.
Circus Is Coming To Norlina
• The star-studded 1977 edition
of the Royal Wild West
Circus is coming to Warren
County on May 5, it was
announced yesterday by Butch
Meek, secretary of the Norlina
Volunteer Fire Department.
! "Our organization is bringing
{he circus here to enable our
{ommunity to enjoy this
traditionally wholesome form of
entertainment, unique in Amerca,"
Meek said. "Profits
derived from sponsoring the
circus will go towards our new
truck," he continued.
"Our fund will benefit the
greatest from the sale of
advance tickets by our
members. We receive up to 50
percent of the proceeds from
these tickets. In addition,
patrons purchasing tickets in
advance of Circus Day will save
money," he said.
The Royal Circus appears
exclusively for leading civic and
charitable organizations, making
it possible for such groups
to raise funds for their
community projects.
"Advance reduced-rate tickets
may be purchased from any
member of the Norlina Fire
Department. Save and, at the
same time, help this local
organization raise money for its
community and charitable
projects," Meek said.

What's In Nome
What's in a name? Some of
the colonists of Jamestown,
hunting for a nourishing local
wild food, boiled up glossy
leaves that looked like spinach,
ate them, and went on a binge
of idiocy and hallucinations that
lasted days. Their misadventure
with Jamestown weed
gave name to today's dangerous
Jimson weed.

a Shawnee Indian who serves as American Indian student
advisor at American University in Washington; and A.
Bruce Jones, executive director of the N. C. Commission of

Virginia Tour Taken
By Warren Citizens
By BARBARA COOKE
Thirty-eight Warren County
residents, members and guests
of the Senior Social Club of
Norlina, boarded a Greyhound
at 7:30 a. m. Thursday, April
14, to toi^r scenic parts of
Norfolk, Va. This destination,
the Municipal Gardens-By-TheSea,
a botanical garden
complex, was repched by 10:30
a. m.
Awaiting them were two
boats that transported them for
a half hour along canals, under
bridges, near NATO Hill,
through blooming azaleas, and
tulips, and along Lake White
hurst. The botanical gardens
contain plants from all over the
world, and each year the Azalea
Festival Week and the NATO
meetings coincide, to reafirm
the allegiance of the United
States to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. Allies
with NATO have donated many
of the plants and trees to
Gardens-By-The-Sea.
Disembarking from the
motor boats, a trackless train
was awaiting them for a 30
minute ride along paths flanked
by massive walls of pink,
red-orange, lavender, white
and red azaleas. The rhododendron
gardens were in full
bloom, while dogwood and
Japanese cherry trees were
fading. Herons and numerous
turtles bathing in the sunlight
enhanced the excitement of the
outdoor excursion.
A quick trip down Military
Highway took the group to
Piccadilly Cafeteria at Military
Center for lunch.
The next stop was the Moses
Myer House, where entry into
his house transplanted the
group from the twentieth
century into the life-style of an
18th century millionaire, Moses
Myer, a merchant. The
Georgian townhouse, built in
1792, had all the original
furnishings, of the family.
A two-block walk took the
majority of the group to the
Willoughby-Baylor House, with
the bus following, bearing the
wearied. This house was
constructed in 1794, and unlike
tjie Myers home, that passed
from generation to generation
in the same family, its
furnishings were not original,
' but were autMHtttt to the 18tf>
century period, displaying
Dolly Madison's dining room
suite, when her husband was
President.
The General Douglas MacArthur
Memorial was the last
stop. Passing MacArthur's staff
car, a 1950 Chrysler limousine,
the group viewed a twenty
minute film of MacArthur's
military career, and briefly
traversed Norfolk's old City
Hall, now a Memorial filled with
Mac Arthur's medals, gifts, pipe
collection, papers and books.
His tomb is there, as is the
place for his wife.
Returning by way of the
bottom of the Elizabeth River,
aided by the underground
tunnel, the worn and weary
travelers literally took Greyhound
at its word, "J/eave the
driving to us." Unaware of the
race to beat Norfolk traffic,
they knew they were headed
for home. Making one very
quick refreshment stop, with
delegated waitresses, one little
store, just north of Roanoke
Rapids, is still wondering what
happened. Only Norlina Senior
Citizens know.
The next meeting of the
Norlina Senior Social Club is
Thursday, April 28 at 2 p. m.
Remember, it is the April
Fool's meeting. Bring a "White
Elephant" gift in a brown paper
bag to be auctioned. We meet
at St. Paul's Lutheran Church.
Plans will be explained for the
Washington, D. C. trip on May
19-20, an overnight trip to tour
sites of the Nation's Capital.
Overloading Wasteful
Overloading a freezer with
warm food slows freezing time
and wastes energy. First chill
cooked foods quickly by setting
them in cold water; then freeze.
