Pound ing pretty hard now. 1124215 U. S. N. October 15, 1936 Midnight. At Sea North Atlantic Ocean 11:45 P. M., October 16, 1936 The weather is getting worse every minute, rain squalls and high seas deluge the ship from stem to stern. The night is full of misgiving— restlessness prevails the air. Why I am writing this I know not myself—l have a premonition ot evil, of something dreadful that is I about to happen—had it all this trip but tonight it’s awful, seizing me so strong that I cannot rest, cannot sleep. We trust in God and may He have mercy upon my soul. 1124215 U, S. N. Somewhere off the Va.-N. C. coast — approx, location—U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Sebago. Time 11:55 P. M., Oct. 16, 1936 Weather heavy. We’ll probably pull out, as we have done so in previous events but the weird sensation of tonight sur passes all else. 1124215 U. S. N. Critics Praise Work Os Miss Anna Rutz Following are just a few com ments made by critics about Miss Anny Rutz, who will give the inti mate story of the Passion Play, il lustrated with 100 slides, in the au ditorium of the Edenton High School on Wednesday night, November 19, at 8 o’clock: - “Miss Rutz lecture was a thrilling performance. She made me feel the enobling emotion which has twice dis tinguished her part in the greatest of all dramas. Not a word escaped me.”—lrving Bacheilor. “Miss Anny Rutz is endowed with the qualifications for her part. She is giving to Americans who cannot attend the great Passion Play at Oberammergau, a beautiful substi tute. In her Bavarian costume and speaking fluent English she tells of life behind the scenes, of the village and of the Play. A delightful enter tainment.”-—Prestonia Mann Martin. “Miss Rutz held the audience by the charm of her presentation of the life of the village folk of Oberam mergau, and their consecration to the Passion Play. The pictures of the Play are vivid and beautiful.” —Jessie B. Rittenhouse. Miss Rutz has twice played the part of the Virgin Mary In the Pas sion Play at Oberammergau, Ger many, and her appearance in Eden ton is expected to draw a large crowd from the entire section. Rev. George Blount, pastor of the Edenton Meth odist Church, who is responsible for Miss Rutz coming to Edenton, has had assurance from points as far as Hertford and Elizabeth City that folks from those towns would avail themselves of the opportunity to en joy the lectures. It is expected that the school’s auditorium will be filled to capacity when she lectures here. DIME SOCIETY ENTERTAINED AT HOME OF MRS. J. C. DAIL Mrs. J. C.

Pulp Mill Again Being Discussed Information reaching Edenton on Tuesday to the effect that the much talked about $2,000,000 pulp mill had abandoned the idea of locating at either Williamston or Windsor, was reason for revival of hopes that it might locate near Edenton. The in formation was given ,to D. B. Liles by one who is supposed to be well informed and Mr. Liles immediately scouted around to see what might be done to induce the mill to locate in this territory. He was of the opin ion that a meeting of business men should be called to discuss the mat ter, but upon consulting Mayor E. W. Spires he was informed that some correspondence had been made by Johti A. Holmes, which, however, was very vague as to the possibilities of locaC g here. In the meantime a letter has been written to the concern, the Kirckhey er Container Company, of Declair, New Jersey, in an effort to ascertain if the company really entertains any desire to locate in this immediate section. Heretofore the name of the pulp mill had been more or less of a sec ret, apparently very few knowing the name of the concern, but according to Mr. Liles’ information J. W. Kirckheyer is president; H. M. Kirckheyer, secretary, and treasurer; E. L. Walker, director; J. H. Allen, timber expert; and L. J. Meriner. chief engineer. The general contrac tor for the firm is said to be James Stewart & Co., 230 Park Avenue, New York City. There are those in Edenton who are of the opinion that every effort should be exhausted to try to secure the pulp mill, which is said to employ about 400 people with a weekly pay roll of around $20,000. On the other hand, however, there are those who for various reasons give little cre dence to the possibility of the plant locating here. BRIDGE CLUB ENTERTAINED Mrs. J.
