Here and There
Mr. Maire of the telephone com
pany tells us they have hundred
of applications for telephone in
stallations, each of which will hav
to await respective turns as equip
ment is made available. He furth
er states the system is being re
vamped as fast as materials arc
received. . . The reconstruction ot
approaches to the Scotland Neck
©bridge over the Roanoke River is
proceeding rapidly and soon the
traveling public will enjoy smooth
rolling over those former rough
spots. . . . The new bridge over
the Roanoke at Williamston, now
under construction, will be ready
for use the middle or latter part
of this summer. ... it is rumored
that the Lions Club will sponsor
this city’s semi-centennial in a cel
ebration in mid-summer. Yes, sir,
©in fifty years this spot has grown
from woods to a booming city.
What recollections many of the old
settlers must have!
Two Big Events
Of Next Week
Outrtanding events of next week
which need your support are: the
concert of the North Carolina
Symphony and the opening date
®of the Roanoke Rapids Jays, pro*
foac'mnal haaahall tiMlIll
Other stories on this page pret
ty well cover the concert, but per
mit us to emphasize the fact that
$1650 has been raised as a guar
antee for the Symphony. The Sym
phony Orchestra needs our sup
port to encourage cultural advan
cement in this state. But your sup
port should be given not only for
^this reason, but also for your own
enjoyment.
It is doubtful that much need
be said about the pro team’s open
ing date. This simply is a re
minder for all local sports fans
to be present.
Fire!!!
The Lion’s club was attentively
listening to a committee report of
one of its members at its regu
I) lar meeting last Tuesday evening
when suddenly one of the women
who aids in serving the meal yell
ed. "Fire! Someone's car is burn
ing!"
The solemnity of the meeting
broke up in quick time. Members
and guests rushed to the windows
and outside, where a car was
burning. For a moment I thought
it was the Herald's precious "Green
Hornet,” an old sturdy wreck,
f which I should have known was
too ornery to burn.
Fire extinguishers were quickly
putting the fire out: damage was
very slight. (Shush! Don’t tell the
insurance adjusters.)
When the meeting was restored
a bit of fun was in order. A mem
ber arose and made this request:
"Could the Herald and members
arrange a collection to restore the
car to normal condition?”
1 The owner of the car sat mod
estly by, and said nothing.
The challenge of the Lion mem
ber is accepted and we rise to this
occasion with this suggestion:
Will everyone please rally to this
cause and give to the owner. Mr.
Graham Lynch* any spare monies,
motor parts, seat covers, spare
cushions, etc., so he may know we
are all willing to give him MORE
automobile than he lost. Help those
who are distressed.
Case of Mistaken Identity
Some weeks ago before your
present publisher took charge, a
new printer from another part of
this state was employed. During
his weeks of employment here he
became acquainted with oniy a few
individuals.
Last Saturday, his wife journey
ed here to visit him. Individually
and collectively they took on too
much liquor and caused a distur
bance. The police were on the
scene and a crowd gathered
around the Herald office.
In the meantime, Mr. Debnam,
our plant superintendent, had
driven me to Richmond, where I
caught a train to Washington and
Ohio.
When he returned to town Sat
urday night he heard of the
fracas. He went to the office and
there informed \the new printer
that he was no longer fit to be
art employe of the Herald and sent
him away to parts unknown.
Tuesday noon I returned from
Ohio. What do you suppose I
heard? ’Twas that the new pub
lisher had been drunk Saturday
night and caused a disturbance
which required police attention.
It seems that because some ?new
somebody’ at the Herald got
drunk, the only ‘new somebody'
people knew about at the Herald
was yours truly.
Well, I am happy to state that
I was on the train between Rich
mond and Washington when all
this happened. These lines, we
hope will clear up the point as to
who was drunk at the Herald Sat
urday night. And that the 'new
somebody’ who was drunk will not
enter these doors again.
Wylie Warren
A delightful young man in this
community is Wylie Warren, a
recent high school graduate, a
fine athlete, good character, and
a lover and student of sports.
He has contributed sports to
this newspaper for sometime. How
ever, recogni*ng his sports writ
ing ability, we urged him to con
tinue his sports contributions and
also to write a regular weekly col
umn.
This week we introduce his col
umn, “Jax and Jays" by Wylh
Warren. We are certain all yoi
sports fans will enjoy his observe
tions, and perchance some of yov
may wish to contribute your owi
thoughts to his column.
