! Roanoke x; Rambling? It Took A Little Time... The Rambler was rambling around the courthouse in Halifax Tuesday morning watching the various people come and go. He got stranded down there without a way back so he had to prevail upon the kindness of the County Register of Deeds, Frank Wil son, in order to get back to Roa noke Rapids. Ed Knott was down there too and took us in tow when we asked if perhaps he would be coming back home any time soon. Ed said no, he wasn't right away as he was very busy in Halifax and would probably be there most of the afternoon. Ed thought perhaps Kelly Jen kins, who was also down there, might be coming back, but when he introduced us to Mr. Wilson, that gentleman assured us he was going back to Roanoke Rap ids for lunch at one o’clock and we need look no further for a ride. (It so happens that we’ve been Mr. Wilson’s next - door neighbor for two months now and this was the first time we’d met. Well, On the Way Back... Driving back with Mr. Wilson and Mr. John Taylor, who was also Roanoke Rapids bound, we began talking of various things | as per good old American cus-. tom and Mr. Wilson recalled the timp Mrs Dunning’s hoarding - house caught afire. A male tea cher, who only recently left his position as teacher in Roanoke Rapids Schools, was rooming at the place at the time. In the mid dle of the night, he came rushing over to the Wilson home and be gan to pound on the door. By the time Mr. Wilson got to the door, the man was gone. He was fran tically trying to save a few of his belongings from his room and, in the excitement, he forgot he had on no more clothing than! a pair of pajamas. Finally reali zing what an appearance he was making—the upset gentleman C rushed back into his room and extricated a pair of trousers from the threatening flames. He then made his way out to the side walk in front of the house and calmly proceeded to don his new ly-rescued apparel. According to Mr. Wilson’s vivid account of the happening—it was quite a bit of excitement and the entire popu lace of the town had gathered £ to see the lire. A Letter from Mrs. Tyson... Mrs. Dan 'jTyson writes from Duke Hospital in Durham that she appreciates the many kind nesses shown her by her friends during her illness and urges then to keep on hoping that she will get out 6f the hospital by Christ mas. She says thanks for all the lovely flowers, gifts and cards r and sends a hello to the wonder V ful personnel of the Roanoke Rapids Hospital who treated her ways do. it seems, treat their patients wonderfully, Mrs. Tyson and we feel sure too that all your friends are pulling for you to get well right away Isn’t Truth Strange! We know a person — in fact. - he’s a friend of ours — who " dotes on history. Once, at the age of fourteen, he stood on the steps of the State Capitol build ing in Montgomery, Alabama, in the very same spot on which Jefferson Davis stood to take the oath of office as President of the Confederacy. While i n Montgomery also, he saw the home which Mr. Davis occupied while he was living there. Dur g ing the recent war, he served in * a division, of which the old “Mis sissippi Rifles’’ regiment, started by Mr. Davs at the time of the Mexican War, and now known as the 155th Infantry was a part. Imagine the thrill then, that was his in gazing upon the tomb of Jefferson Davis in Hollywood Cemetary in Richmond last week The impressive statue looked out across the rocky James River r toward the beloved city of Rich mond. Then, our friend turned and started to walk back to the vehicle which had transported' him there. Imagine his feeling of amaze ment—when he turned and saw directly facing the statue of Jef ferson Davis, a family plot ojh the tombstones of which were blazoned the surname in two intfch high letters— uk/mn i . / C —;— Only One of 200 Corporal Clevie A.

C. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1947 NUMBER? Local Paper Mill Faces Strike Vote Negotiations for wage in creases at the Halifax Paper Company have apparently broken down as leaders of CIO Local Union 697, United Paperworkers of America an nounced late last night that a strike vote is being taken “as the result of the refusal of the company to make a satisfactory wage proposal.” The union leaders. through their representative, Robert Tur ner. said a meeting yesterday with company representatives, the third since December 8th when negotiations began, ended in failure to reach an agreement. Voting on the strike question began last night and will be con tinued starting at 7:30 tonight at the CIO Hall, 6 East Second Street. Company officials when seen by a Herald reporter this mor ning said they had not been notified of any strike vote be ing taken and had no comment to make. Contract Signed in June In announcing the strike vote. Turner explained that a contract was signed between the union and the company last summer after the union had been the vic tor in a National Labor Rela tions election held last March. He said the current negotiations involved only wages and that, al though the contract itself does not expire until June of 1948, there is a clause in the agree ment which provides for a ne gotiation for higher wages at this time because of the increase in the cost of living. “Government figures show,” Turner declared, “that the cost of living has gone up approxi mately 10 percent since last June when the contract was signed. The company has made a ridiculously small offer of a few pennies.” County Farm Leaders Attend Chicago Meet Representing Halifax coun ty at the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation in Chicago this week from December 15 - 18 was Mrs. B.

Paced by a newcomer to the regular five — lanky James Bry ant who poured in 21 points; and last season’s scoring leader, Janies Warren, who wrinkled the nets for 19 markers, the Jackets showed a firehorse brand of play that amazed the fans. It was truly a fine team job and gave the Jackets ample re venge for the defeat sustained at the hands of the visitors last year. Narrow Halftime Margin The Jackets held a halftime margin of 22-18 but soon ,saw that lead wilt away and by the end of the third quarter, the count was resting at 30-30.

If they were, a warning issued today by police chief T. H. Davis would be unnecessary. “Last year,” said Davis, “we had quite a few cases of people’s homes’ being entered and wrap ped gifts, which were lying under the Christmas trees, were taken. So we want to warn the folks that when they leave their homes they’d better lock the doors. “And another thing we want to warn people about,” continued the chief, “if you’re doing your Christmas shopping don’t leave parcels in your cars in the busi ness districts or anywhere else unless the car is locked. Some people evidently like to remove the gifts you’ve already bought while you’re shopping for the i.nno * * “More Blessed to Give” Roanoke Rapids civic clubs, church organizations and indi viduals are all cooperating to make this Christmas a more cheerful one for those less for tunate persons in the commun ity, according to reports re ceived from representatives of the Halifax County Welfare Department and Associated Charities.

Lions, Rotary and Exchange clubs, along with workers from Sunday School organizations, church youth groups and phil anthropic individuals had ob tained the names of a number of needy families In Roanoke Rapids and vicinity.

An announcement late Wednesday afternoon by Frank C. Williams, president of Roanoke Rapids theatres, and Lyle Wilson, general manager, disclosed that property in the 900 block of Roanoke Avenue on the east side of the street was City Building Permits Begin to Drop Here As Only Two Issued Building permits, which soared to an $88,380 rise last month over November of 1946, leveled off this month and up to noon Wed nesday only two permits, in an 511,800 total evaluation, had been issued by the city building in spector’s office. Thus, the total for the year thus far stands at $911,330 with 5488,000 of the total issued in the new home construction category nnd the other $423,330 represen ting industrial, commercial and miscellaneous building projects. 1947 Will Best 46 Observers close to the building ndustry confidently predicted that, despite the lag this month, 1947 will prove to have been a Digger year for building in the -ity than was 1946, despite the large number of permits which were issued last December. Two Permits This Month Of the two permits issued so far this month, one—to James C. Rogers, for a one story resi dence on Williams Street with six rooms and bath at an esti mated cost of $7800—was for new home construction; and one was for commercial building. The second permit was issued to Winfield Crew for construction of a one story building at 1100 Roanoke Avenue to be used as stores at an estimated cost of $4,000. purchased Tuesday from the Northeastern Oil Company o f Murfreesboro and from R. - I Starke, local grocer and city commissioner, for use as a build ing site.

Wilson, spokesman for Roa noke Amusements, Inc., the cor poration which bought the land and which will construct the new edifice, said the corporation had contacted one of the most able architects in the field of theater design in the entire South, but declined to disclose his name. The group also declined to dis close the amount of money in volved in the purchase of the property. Plans Long Considered “We have been planning since before the war to make this step,” Wilson said. “In light of the rapid growth of Roanoke Rap ids and surrounding territory we feel there is need of addition al entertainment facilities. It is believed that this new theater will help greatly to meet that need.” “This theater, to be the flag ship of the local circuit, will have its entrance on Roanoke Ave - nue,” he continued, “and will be in the shape of an ‘L’. Construc tion will begin just as soon as the government building author ities permit it.” City's School Teachers Scattered From Tennessee To Florida For Christmas Teachers in the Roanoke Rap ds city schools will scatter to joints far and wide, from Ten lessee to Florida, and to points all over the Tar Heel State dur ng the Christmas holidays which begin on December 19th.
