RED MEN STAGE ANNUAL FISH FRY Principal Address at Affair Made By Judge W. C. Morse, of Elizabeth City Chowan Tribe No. 12, Improved Order Red Men, held their annual fish fry Tuesday night at the fair grounds when a large number of local Red Men, their wives, and a , delegation from Pasquotank Tribe in 7 Elizabeth City were present. The fish fry was under the direction of Harrison Spruill, who went to a great deal of pains to arrange for the affair. Long tables were erected for the convenience of those present, who were promptly served by a group of young ladies. Guests were served promptly at 8 o’clock, immediately after which a short but interesting program was held in front of the grandstand when the principal address was made by Judge W. C. Morse, of Elizabeth City. During the course of his re marks Mr. Morse stressed the tenets of the Order: Freedom, Friendship and Charity, and very strikingly brought out the fact that a frater nity feeling such as prevails in the Improved Order of Red Men plays a great part in the perpetuation of peace in a world troubled with un rest. To emphasize his point he re ferred to the unsettled conditions in sections of the world where there is a lack of fraternities, and where all sorts of wicked and barbarous tac tics are resorted to for selfish pur poses. Mr. Morse closed his very inter esting address by urging his hearers to ring true to the Red, White and Blue which waves over the land of the free and the home of the brave. Adding to the pleasure of the even ing was string music furnished by the Honolulu Strummers, composed of Myrtle Presley, John Presley, Wilborne Harrell, Rupert Wright and Shelton Hogerson. Revival In Progress At Macedonia Church Revival services are in progress at Macedonia Baptist Church this week. The pastor, Rev. John By rum, an nounces that the Rev. Ira Harrell, of South Mills, is doing the preaching. The music is in charge of George W. Lassiter, of Edenton. Services are held daily at 3 and 7:45 P. M-, and will come to a close Sunday. r . Floyd White Will Go To Legion Convention Floyd I. White will leave Edenton Saturday for Cleveland, Ohio, where he will attend the national conven tion of the American Legion. Mr. White will be the only Legionnaire from Chowan to attend the conven tion, having been named alternate for this district at the recent State convention held in Asheville. The convention will remain in ses sion through September 24th, after which time Mr. White will return home. Soon Start Drilling For Another Well Practically all of the well digging equipment of the Layne Atlantic Company has been moved from the fair grounds to the Anne Matthews property, owned by the Town, on the Virginia Road, preparatory to anoth er attempt to dig a new well for the town. A plentiful supply of water was found on the fair grounds, but due to the condition of the sand, the water would not flow fast enough for the pumps, hence the change of sites. Digging operations on the new site will soon begin. Hours At Library Will Change Monday Mrs. Sidney McMullan, librarian, at the Shepard-Pruden Library, an nounces that beginning Monday, September 21, the Library will ob serve the following schedule: Each week day the doors will be open afternoons from 2 till 5 o’clock.

Baptist Meeting In Shawboro Next Week <• *, The Chowan Baptist Association will meet Tuesday and Wednesday of next week at Providence Church at Shawboro, with Rev. W. S. Wood all, of Gatesville, scheduled to preach the Associational sermon. A fine program has been arranged and all representatives and any oth ers that will are urged to attend the meeting. MRS. J. HENRY HIGHSMITH TO SPEAK AT METHODIST CHURCH Mrs. J. Henry Highsmith, of the State Board of Health, will lecture on Friday evening at 8 o’clock at the Center Hill Methodist Church. The public is invited to attend the REPORT OF GRAND JURY Suggestions involving alterations and repairs to the county jail and the jailer’s home as well as at the County Home, and a recommendation that Keeper Harrell, of the latter place have his salary raised to $75 a month, were embodied in the Sep tember grand jury report presented Tuesday to Superior Court Judge J. Paul Frizzelle, presiding. The report was signed by J. H. Haskett, as foreman, and his associate grand jurors were: McCoy Spivey, C. H. Barber, Wilbur Hollowed, James Davenport, Glenn Bunch, Roy Parks, W. C. Bunch, R. A. Chappell, Edgar Pearce, A. S. Smith, Carl Daven- Bridge Site Is Left Unchanged (Continued from Page One) modestly said “that is not so,” to the allegation he may have been over zealous. Around 300 south" shore opponents were in attendance at the hearing-, as were a large group favoring the site selected by the Commission, led by Mayor E. W. Spires. The local re presentatives remained silent at the gathering, however, preferring to leave the matter in the hands of the Commission. Mr. Tatem charged “You are building this bridge over the protest of 30,000 people,” al though he did not say where 30,000 bridge users would come from in Dare, Tyrrell and Washington coun ties, and later he asserted “it will ruin our future.” The Tatem plan as outlined in ob jection to the proposed bridge called for bridging the Alligator River, Croatan Inlet and the Roanoke River at Plymouth, all entailing an expen diture, together -with a Sound bridge from Ship Point to Reed Point at an aggregate cost for all of around $4,- 000,000, which the Commission, of course, dismissed as absurd at this time. Chairman Waynick finally brought the discussion to a close by saying to Mr. Tatem, who kept accusingly referring to “the Wood bridge,”—“l have not been interested in the per sonal ownership of anybody’s land, and while I cannot question your re presentation of the people down there I can tell you that I have here on my desk numerous telegrams and letters urging the Commission to stand pat on its decision, and I wish to tell you that the Commission loves North Carolina as a whole and wants to develop North Carolina as a whole.” Some of the telegrams Mr. Way nick referred to were in defense of Mr. Wood from the mean aspersions in print and otherwise from the south shore people. One such mes sage of endorsement was from Fed eral Judge Isaac M. Meekins, a Re publican, of Elizabeth City, who said he was confident Mr. Wood’s site preference had “not been influenced in the slightest by personal consid erations.” In addition to Representative Tatem others who spoke against the bridge were J. H. Matthews, C. W. Spruill and E. S. Askew, of Bertie; Mayon Parker, of Hertford; W. H. S. Burgwyn, of Northampton; George E. Davis, of Hyde; Melvin R. Dan iels, of Dare, and J. C. Meekins, of Tyrrell. Mrs. Lula Lupton is quite ill at her home in North Edenton. Boyce Electric Shop Phone 64-J WIRING and REPAIR WORK ALL WORK GUARANTEED DO YOU NEED SOME PIGS?
