Roanok e Ramblings WIWAWIVWUWWWJ Say9 Jesse Helms in a recent letter to a friend of the Ramb ler: "Today I was standing on the street corner (in Raleigh) talking to a couple of friends when a young .lady from Roa noke Rapids walked up and said hello. I very frankly didn't know her, and was taken somewhat by surprise. Then, too, my deaf ear was on her side, and I had to ask her name the secon d time, which didn't make me sound very glad to see her— which I really was. I'm always mighty glad to see anybod y from Roanoke Rapids, particul arly such a charming young lady as she. "If you ever need a para graph for the Ramblings, I wish you'd convey my apologies to a lady whom I can identify on ly as 'Mrs. Rogers'. After she walked away, it occurred to me that I had neither introduce d her to ny friends, nor had I invited her to visit the station (WRAL) while she was in town." It Can Happen To Anyone and Does. City Commissioner Howard Pruden was given a parking ticket Monday by an alert mem ber of the Roanoke Rapids Po lice department. Commissioner Pruden, who many people will recall was one of the leaders in the move to get parking meters in the city, had parked his car in front of his store and forgot to watch the time. C ο m m issioner Pruden, no doubt, paid his $1.00 like all the rest of us. Gueit Speaker Guy M.

A passing motorist, noticing the fire in a 1939 Pontiac two door sedan belonging to C. F; Gore, notified Gore's daughter, Margaret Ann, who had parked the vehicle in front of the horn? of Lewis Raynor in South Wel don. Miss Gore, who along with several other members of the choir of the Weldon Baptist Church, had gone to the Ray nor home following choir prac tice, said the other members aid ed her in fighting the fire with several fire extinguishers and some buckets of water. When they saw it was beyond their control, she added, they called the fire department. She said three of the choir members, Raynor, Ed Williforci I and Frank Williams, Jr., were to be commended for efforts in fighting flames in the back seat even as the gas tank was threat ened.

Scribe Finds Roanoke Rapids People Acquired Nicknames Through Various Methods But Most Of Them Have Stuck By Audrey Heweli "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."—so says the most re known of all bards. To many who dwell here, however, a name added to or detracted from their original "John Henry" has changed things for them considerably. Take Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Mo horne for example. Until a few years ago they were known by their prosaic calling. Popped up Jack Devane's little boy in Mrs. Mohorne's Sunday Class and ε major alteration occurred. The little fellow couldn't say Mo· horne. He compromised by call ing her Mrs. Bugle. The name caught on, and now both are Mr. and Mrs. "Bugle." Some nicknames don't happen overnight, tho. "Buster" Seav has been called Buster since he was that high. Same thing witn the Pierce boys over in Weldon. Since childhood they hvae been known by "Preacher," "Shorty," "Buddy" and "Shag." Not very many people even know their real names now—in fact, you would have to run one of them down to find cut their baptisma.' School seems to be a good breeding place for nicknames. Kids like a short and unusuaJ name. John H. Lackey went through the University at Col umbia, S. C., with two tagj. He was at first "Rat" Lackey— even when no longer a rat—i.rd then was called "Joe." Saj'ï. Lackey, "Even until this day· when someone hollers 'Joe' Τ turn around and think they art speaking to me." "Shag" Thorne (W.A.) receiv ed his second baptismal in col lege too. He fell heir to it from an older brother who was known at Trinity College as "Shag." Names sometimes grow out ol a situation. When Η. B. Speight was jerking sodas during u's teens, he used to take his fill on the side. Soon he had that well-fed, contented look and his friends started calling him "Tubby." The name has stuck Mrs. Alice Miller is known to her friends as "Al." She doesn't recall when the abbreviation o·.· curred, but the shortening w#s enough. Husbands usually call tneir wives by some nickïieme—«η en I dearment or otherwise that usu I ally remains in the family. Mrs. Emory Vaughan's husband, how ever, humorously tagged her "Battle Ax" and that she is call ed by business associates and friends. Bill Clary of the Herald re ceived his nickname in a situa tion that gave sudden illumina tion to his friends. He had worked* all day and all night putting the paper to bçd and hadn't had time to eàt. The next morning at breakfast he order ed hamburgers and more ham burgers. His amazed friends watched his consumption take on mammoth proportions. They recalled another 'burger addict— Whimpy of Popeye fame. Promptly he was dubbed "Wimp," and that he remains to this day. Some nicknames are self-in flicted. Jim Ferguson of WCBT calls himself "Mickey's father.' To many listeners throughout the area Jim is identified through his infant daughter. Fred "Boss" Dunn with the Guest Construction Co. earned his middle name by trying to pass himself off to some girls as "boss" or foreman of the con struction crew. Word got back to the boys and now he is "Boss" whether he likes it or nr»t. The younger generation thriv es on nicknames. Some fall by the wayside as the youngsters grow up, but more often the name sticks by them through life. Robert Mitchem Thompson received his nickname at birth. His father, who was a fan of strip, took one look at his son and said, "That's little Nicode mus." Nicodemus he remained until he reached his teens, but now this has been shortened to "Nick." James Hale is called "Yanky" because he unwisely stood up for the Northern side of the Civ il War question when he was a fifth-grader. "Doc" Murphy (m tle known as Willis) inherited his name from his dentist fath er. When small he was called "Little Doc" after him. "Boone" (Wiley) Warren doesn't know why or how he received his distinction Like Topsy. he just growed it. Wil liam George, better known as "Bowser," earned his name by throwing things at Coach Hoy ι le's dog when he was a little tot. Priscilla Tickel is known as "Tic·" an appropriate shortening of her last name. A cute little pug nose won "Puggy" (Martha Anne) Starke her designation. "Pinky" (Edwards) Simpson oddly enough doesn't have ted hair to warrant his name. But he was a red, mewling infant when born and that gave birth to his tag. "Hardrock" (A. W.) Harderson fell heir to his narne-handle because of a take off on his John Henry. "Bull" (Billy) Stacia shot so much bull in school and out that his friends gave him this 1 name as his due. A G. I. haircut caused "Fuzzy" (Harry) Weath er's dubbing. "Bean" (Bill) Hodges seemed to have beans on his mind al most constantly. He talked and ate them. The rest can be guess ed. "Ears" (Oliver) Bray receiv ed his appelation quite natural ly because of large head ap pendages. A premature bald appearance becaus'è he shaved his hair caus ed "Baldy" (Theron) Harris' title. Vincent White's additional j tag "PJ^nk" came about be cause he was a man of peace and the boys picked on him. When Jimmy Wilson moved to j Roanoke Rapids, his baoy face ! caused him to be called "Mug |sy." Joyce Nicholson is called "Pig" but the title isn't for the usual reason. She herself doesn't know ι how it happened. "Grit" (Mar garet) Williams' name came about because when small the name Margaret was a mouthful. She could only say "Grit." So it goes about names. An unusual circumstance or u chance calling without rhyme or reason and person's identifica tion changes. Who dares to say there's nothing in a name? BUSY TIME FOR DAD. Pearia, 111.—Hurriedly Fred erick A. Miller grabbed his dip loma from Bradley University and left the auditorium in a run. He had just received a note from his wife, Phyllis, that she had left the commencement cer·»- j monies hurriedly to go to a hos pital. He arrived at the nospitai just in time to greet Kathleen Ann. the Miller's second child. Local Citizens Reassured By Health Officer Report Assoc. Charîl Report On Ji A general report of the case work done by the Associated Ch arities during the month of June reveals that 10 case applied, se ven were accepted, three were rejected. Two cases were re portd, eight old cases were re ported and two new cases. Ca ses closed during the June per iod numbered six. DISPOSITION OF CASES Four of the seven cases ac cepted were rendered needy by sickness. Help was given by Associated Charities with foo d, milk, and medicine. Unemploy ment was responsible for two cases. These persons were giv en temporary help with food while they wait for unemplo y - ment compensation. One Hali fax County case, woman with six small children, was given a collection of canned baby foods donated by local citizens. The Associated Chatities of - fice reported 13 office interview during June, five home visit s j by the case worker, and 19 tele phone calls about cases. DETAILED CASE REPORT There were three cases rejec ted by the Association Chatities during June. One of these ca ses was an able-bodied man, j thirty-five years old with a wife and one child, who applied at the office for help. He to 1 d the case worker that he ha d been injured on the job and had not been re-employed when he j was able to return. The case worker got as much information as possible from the man, in cluding former places of employ ment. She told the man that a routine investigation woul i have to be made sine® his was a new case and he was unknown to her. She requested that he re turn to the office the following day and in the meantime make every effort ot secure work. The case worker contacted the man's overseer and the superin ies Case ine Activity tendent at his last place of em ployment. The man had been hired for temporary work only and had stayed out four da y s during the three weeks time. Ilis alleged injury had been too sli ght to justify any insurance and he had been out only five days. His work had not been satisfac tory although the job was not a hard one, and he had not been rehired. He reported 1 y drove light-weight truck.to work each morning. No help was re commended. The case worker talked with his overseer where he had been employed from September, 19 47 to May, 1948, and learne d that he had never been satis - fied with his work there, and had quit voluntarily. The man never returned t ο the office or contacted the case worker again. The case work er felt that since this man had voluntatily given up a good job, had been unsatisfactory on an other and was young and healthy—he should not be given assistance by Associated Chari ties. His case was therefore re jected. During the first six months of 1948, 78 cases have been ac cepted, 9 cases rejected and 12 cases transferred to other agen ies. Associated Chatities work i s a year-round Red Feather Ser vice of the Roanoke Rapids Co mmunity Chest.

"Son" Myrick, Roa noke Rapids plumber, brough it to the office Monday night. Myrick said that he found it while working in Edenton. It was buried six feet underground and Myrick found it while help ing to dig a ditch. The copper coin bears the date< 1798 and is about one-eighth of an inch larger in circumference than a present day quarter. On what we take to be the front of the coin is a head, apparently that of a woman , though back in those days many men coiffed their hair and used b*ws in it, but the consensus around the Herald office is that the head is that of a woman . Across the top of the head is the word "Liberty". I On the back of the coin a round the edge are the words "'United States of America" and a wreath of leaves is cen tered with the words "On e Cent". We don't know whether th e penny is worth one cent or what but are of the opinion that it might be worth something t ο old coin collectors. Myrick says, that if the coin has the right wreath on it, he has been told that it is worth $2.000. A $2,000 penny.
