Chowan Club Holds
Regular Meeting
In spite of a rainy afternoon an
average number of t.he Chowan Club
women met Miss Colwell and Mrs
E. L. Winslow
The president read the Bible, wp
said together the Club Collect, and
sang “It’s a Good Time to Get To
gether.” Roll was called and the
minutes of the last demonstration
meeting read. Hereafter, by vote of
the County Council, a member of the '
demonstration club must answer to
her name four times a year for her 1
name to be kept on the roll.
Mrs. Winslow read a letter regard- :
ing our selling Christmas Seals. She
promised to write a letter to head- :
quarters about the matter.
It was voted that Mrs. Z. W. Evans :
pay Mrs. J. N. Pruden SI.OO, that our
Club join the Red Cross. The room :
in which we met reminded us of the
work the Red Cross does primarilv—
nursing the sick.
There was before us a bed for a
patient and beside it a cot for the ;
nures. So much for the sick. i
For the well, Miss Colwell brought :
in a box containing table linens, mats i
and napkins, properly folded, and ,
Christmas articles, mostly needle
work, made by Miss Willie Hunter of
Raleigh. Then she displayed and ex
plained a swinging shelf made of
three wooden quadrants held to
gether by three cords, and separated
by three sets of spools, five spools in
•i set. All painted, it made an at
tractive Christmas gift. Another no
ticeable gift was a footstool painted
and upholstered with a padded cush
ion on top.
Directions for table service were
given us, and books on the use of
new stitches in sewing.
The next meeting will be a com
bined federated and demonstration
one on November 25th. Mrs. W. H.
Winbome will give a Citizenship
and Public Welfare program in one.
It is good to know, that, rain or
shine, a band of faithful women
think of the helpfulness asked of
them in the Chowan Woman’s Club.
These are troublous times, and
there are fhany fields of service.
M. W. WINBORNE.
Garden Club Wants
Green Beautified
The Garden Club sent a request to
Town Council Tuesday night to re
move the cement walk around the
circle on the Court House green
where the fountain formerly was sit
uated and to continue the cement
walk diagonally across the spot. At
present pedestrians walk across the
grass in the circle and the ladies of
the club made the request in order to
improve the appearance of the green.
The club likewise recommended the
planting of a grass on the green that
would improve the appearance, but
the' Councilmen, in view of the fact
that no money had been appropriated
in the budget for such expense,
the request. L. '
Legionnaires Enjoy
rarty By Auxiliary
About 75 were present in the
Parish House Friday night when the
members of Ed Bond Post were
guests of the Legion Auxiliary, the
occasion proving to be one of the
most enjoyable affairs of the season.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
and the guests were received by the
two captains, Red and Blue, who ar
ranged the entire company on two
sides to participate in various con
tests.
There was a shoe contest followed
by a baseball test in naming the
contestants, a potato race, a pillow
race, a bean race, a jug race, balloon
race and “Going to Jerusalem.” The
latter especially caused much merri
ment as sometimes three would oc
cupy the same chair at the same
time. The Red side won in most oi
the contests and as a reward each
member received a candy sucker.
The address of welcome was made
by Mrs. Jesse White, president of the
Auxiliary, and was responded to by
John A. Holmes, commander of Ed
Bond Post. Following music and
songs, a cafeteria supper was served
consisting of country ham, salad,
pickles, saltines, sandwiches and hot
coffee. The whole affair was a
great success and thoroughly enjoyed
by each one present.
The program committee consisted
of Mrs. J. W. Davis and Mrs. W. D.
Pruden, while Mrs. J. Lester Fore
hand, Mrs. W. W. Byrum, Mrs. J. J.
Long and Mrs. Jesse White served
on the refreshment committee.
COATES SPEAKS TO
ENFORCEMENT MEN
For a few hours last Friday after
noon law enforcement officers from
thirteen counties of the Albemarle,
probably 65 or 70 of them, gathered
here in the last of a series of eight
similar conferences held throughou.
the State by the Institute of Govern
ment of Chapel Hill. Under the
guidance of Director Albert Coates
they told tales of personal heroism
urged a coordination of all State and
federal law enforcing bodies, bluffed
themselves into believing that, as Mr.
Coates put it, “an aroused public
opinion” was all that was necessarj
to make the enforcement of everj
law supreme, and never said a word
about politics occassionally being i
stumbling block in their path.
Before they got down to business
they had a merry time on the north
end of the Court House green where
Mayor E. W. Spires had had Fire
Chief Dick Hall build a somewhat
satsifying reproduction of the “Pub
lick Parade” located on the same site
several centuries ago. There was a
pillory, a ducking stool and a whip
ping post, put up in emulation oi
three modes of punishment in the
days of Governor Charles Eden. The
visitors were photographed standing
about the 1935 replicas with Zenith
Bright Tucker featured as a common
scold and seated in the ducking stool,
Representative John Fernando White
standing in the pillory .unafraid and
unashamed and vainly trying to get
a cigarette into his mouth, and Har
vey Thomas fastened with hidden
face to the whipping post while Bob
Pratt stood over him with up-raised
cat-o-nine tails looking sad because
he couldn’t apply it with vigor.
The “Publick Parade” seemed to
make a hit and drew rather steady
crowds of town residents all day.
Small knots of negroes gathered fre
quently about it and were heard tr
express themselves as “Somebody
said dat law was coming back.” In
view of the fact that the reproduc
tions actually got their start out of a
talk in Richard Dixon’s office a
month before, followed by a couple
■>f wholly imaj\native articles in the
News & Observer, and then to seem
ingly be forgotten until two days
before the conference when Mr.
Coates spurred Mayor Spires on
with a telephone chat to the effect
that he viewed the idea as a good
one and hoped it would be carried
out, much credit should go to Cap
tain Dick for the quick way he threw
the things together almost at the
last moment.
Mr. Coates was the principal
speaker at the conference urging his
auditors to stop passing the buck to
each otjser and instead to pull to
gether in a better law enforcing way.
He declared that all law was power
less except an aroused public opinion
was behind it, and said that the
State’s greatest need was to inculcate
into the coming generation a need
for better citizenship. In this con
nection he said he hoped the future
would see law enforcement made a
part of the curricula in the elemen
tary public schools everywhere.
Mayor Spires spoke in welcome to
the guestS, telling them they were
on historic ground in a historic build
ing, and read to them an ancient
court order of 1720 sending a crimi
nal of that day to the whipping post
for 39 lashes. Others who spoke at
the conference were Special Agent G.
E. Lowden, of Charlotte, of the fed
eral secret service and this State’s
chief “G”-man, Lieutenant Lester F.
Jones, of Greenville, and identified
with the State Highway Patrol, J. W.
McMahon, of High Point, and Sheriff
J. A. Whitehurst, president of the
State Sheriff’s Association, of Green
villa.
