Consideration Needed
More consideration is badly needed by a few
drivers who make a practice of stopping on Main
Street to carry on a conversation with a friend
while cars behind are forced to wait until the
conversation is completed. This is most irritating.
Of course, there are times when one must stop for a
second or two but for a driver to remain stopped for
several minutes is inexcusable. If a person wishes
to carry on a conversation let him park and not
hold up traffic.
Another irritating practice is when drivers
persist on cruising from one end of Main Street to
the other countless times. Several drivers make it a
habit, especially on Saturdays, to drive to the
depot, turn and go to the lower end of Main Street
where they again turn. Especially dangerous is the
turning at the Redmon Road intersection. Many
wrecks have almost occurred at this dangerous
spot, not only for vehicles but for pedestrians.
While on the subject of inconsideration, too
many drivers speed along the street when snow, ice
and water are prevalent and pedestrians are
splattered before they can possibly "dodge". We
urge drivers to go slowly, especially on the cour
thouse side of the street, when water is standing.
One more criticism often heard is the running
of red lights at the upper bridge street intersection.
This is one of the most dangerous practices of a
few.
We urge more consideration, please!
Letters To Editor
Dear Mr. Story,
I would like to tell you a
little incident that happened to
us in Marshall Thursday. Ruth
Woody, Mamie Shelton and I
were shopping in Marshall
and then went to the drug
store to have lunch. All the
tables and stools being full we
wa ited
We had been waiting for 30
minutes when one tall lady
and a man that works in one
of the stores came in and went
to a table where two men were
sitting They ate their lunch
and still sat and talked awhile.
We walked back to the table to
get it when they decided to get
up Two of the men got up and
left and we started over to the
table when the lady got up.
She looked back over the
house and saw another man
that works in the same store
with her. She sat back down at
the edge of the seat with her
feet in the aisle The man saw
her and came up to the table.
She got up and told him she
was saving the table for him.
He sal down. We felt very
disappointed as we had
already been waiting an hour
then. We waited another 15
minutes and then a nice man
got up and said we could have
that table.
We had already been in the
store earlier and bought
things where the lady works
and she knew we were waiting
for the table. Of course they
would say he had to get back
to his work.'Vtf wef?afcn

Hving been born in Edenton,
way down on the coast, I
naturally learned to eat
"down East" food and
although I moved to Marshall
while I was only 12 years of
age, I still remember the
eating habits as a child which
included grits and potatoes for
breakfast.... it used to be (and
may still be) that fish was a
breakfast dish, too. ..and what
about black-eyed peas and
peanut fed" smoke-cured
ham. ..which I still
adore.... fried corn bread with
plenty of butter and cold milk
still "turn me on".. ..Walter
Harrell who is also a native of
F-astehl N. C, and I often
comment about the way down
Fast people differ in their
tastes from what we eat up
here jn the moun

to love "mountain-eating" and
only recall my childhood
eating as a memory. ...for
instance, how many of you
have ever eaten "Rock
Muddle". ...it's a delicacy in
some places in Eastern
Carolina even now. ...or
watermelon rind pickles. ..or
corn puddin' and "snap
beans".. ..well, believe it or
not, I recently purchased a
"peanut fed ham" from a
cousin' in Boykins, Va., and
I'm ."thoroughly enjoying
it . ..even "Bill", rrjy'Mlbillie

ham, although she says she
still prefers the mountain

SHUPE
In case you wondered, I got
home safely after the ball
game last week and had a
good time keeping the door
with Donna Stines Rice. The
reason I didn't have to go
home between classes and the
game was because Shupe is on
second shift and there was no
reason to make the trip. Gee,
that sure is earth shaking to
write, but I had to start some
way and I thought thai
someone would be concerrpid
if I had any home duties to do.
Ohj-boy, Valentine's Day is
soon and we'll get a box of
chocolates! That I need like a
hole in the head because I've
been gaining weight since the
Christmas holidays! But it
does give me a big thrill for ole
Shupe to sneak in a box and
hide it for me. Charlotte and
I used to have fun looking
forour candy each year. I do
think it is sweet for one's mate
to remember with any little
thing like candy, flowers,
money, etc.
v, Gee, the moon shots are
getting to be more of a worry
than thrill of accomplishment,
iiren't they? I was all con
cerned when I heard of then
trouble in docking, but am
glad that it has worked out all
right as of today, Tuesday. By

we marvelled at the sight.
Oh, my little freshmen boys
and I have been playing "Pig"
like I used to play with
Richard Wilde, Jimmy

I'enland, and others. It is an
intellectual game, not at all
like it sounds! They caught on
yesterday how to make me a

of the game by bell time.
Those playing were Jeffrey

Clinton Chandler, Dennis
Carney, Tim Ramsey, Keith

Griffin and Cheryl Wilde
played one day with us.
We have been studying
about television and movies in
senior English and found that
things are not always like they
seem. Some of the boys have
been making some movies on
the side, I believe, but not
writing the script like one
would think! David Windsor
and I-arry Wright could really
write one if the need arose, I'd
say.
Can you tell what the little
girl says in the commercial
about the man going blind?
I have wondered for months
and just learned today from
little Jeffrey. He said she
says, "Daddy, can I have a
penny to throw in the wishing
weU like I did last year?" I'm
going to listen carefully to. see
if he is right the next time it
comes on. I think the little
children talking about how
good the milk is cute when the
little colored boy says, "It
makes me hap-py!"

going to do bout the penny
