C. | Gulf Station Distinct Credit To Albemarle One of Most Modern and Scientifically Design ed to Be Found In Al bemarle Section One of the most modern service stations in the Albemarle section of > North G«reiiam v «u.tbe G*ilf Station located at the corner of Queen and South Broad Streets at the point where U. S. Highway No. 17 makes a turn in the heart of Edenton. The station has been in operation since 1934, but it was in 1937 that the present modern and attractive station was built on a lot approximately 15,00 d feet square. Guy C. Hobbs, who has been identi fied with the service station business for many years, is manager of the station which has every new and modern feature, including heated and tiled rest rooms, free parking space for more than 50 cars, large wide runways, six gas pumps, washing and lubrication equipment and a complete Champion Spark plug service. In addition to a complete line of the famous Gulf products,, which in- | eludes gasoline, oils, lubricants, and i' accessories, the station handles and| is agent for the well-known line of National Insured brand of tires. One of the most attractive stations in the section, it is kept in excellent condition, clean and inviting to mo-1 torists and car owners and the ser- [ vice maintained is well up in the 100% class. Associated with Mr. Hobbs in the operation of the station as assistant is Mr. Zack Robertson, an exper ienced and capable service station operator, and two other attendants. Every form of service, except me chanical repairing, is available to car owners. Washing, lubrication, pol ishing, tire and road service can be secured at this modern station, one of the finest handling Gulf products in this section of the Carolinas, Ferry Makes Final Run On August 14 (Continued from Page One) -'entuated by the advent of the new bridge. Even the less mature of the Eden ton citizenship can well remember the ferry’s start back in 1922, when it was organized, chartered and fran chised. As preliminary to a perma nent operation the local Chamber of Commerce, then active and eager to sponsor much, stood as such for the ferry’s start in an effort to ascertain its feasibility. The initial operations were auspi cious and Dr. H. M. S. Cason and W. A. Everett, who has stuck from then until now, took over the ownership control on a 50-50 basis. Upon Dr. Cason’s death his interest was bought jy Everett, Capt. Cage Hayman and the late Capt. G. W. Spry, and at Capt. Spry’s death, Everett and Hay-1' man took over and have remained the ferry chieftains since. Five sturdy craft, some small and ' others large, have kept the line go ing from the outset. They were, in order of operation, the “Pilot,” which soon got into the hands of federal authorities in anti-ABC days, and was succeeded by the “Avon Nyven heim”, which faced even a worse pre dicament, being destroyed by fire in 1932. Both these losses entailed a considerable drop in the operators’ exchequer, but even so they carried on, “Shady Side” and the “Emperor” being two craft pressed into service ahead of the last boat, the “Frances Harrington,” which has been going along for three or four years and which came here after service in the Chesapeake Bay. The ferry has been both a paying and a losing proposition. There were years when it showed a big balance •n the favorable sid& of the ledger during which years business has been so heavjt the line had to make as many as sixteen trips daily. But with | the advent of the Chowan river bridge and the rumblings of further ferry disaster because of the great Sound span, business has suffered much. Two yearn ago Mr. Everett and Mr. Hayman had. but little difficulty in convincing the Highway Commission -hey- should be given financial aiij.if ■ :hey were to be expected to keep jjhe i line ojien.- At first they received SBOO 'A Aroiitlitand later this was cut;to S2OO monthly, just about enough. no , ..more, the boat in oil ana * gasoline and pay the help. This has been termed a subsidy, and actually t might be so referred to, but the operators view it as pay for commis sion ferryage during the construction >f the big bridge. Ed&ton mourns the departure of he ferry, sympathizes with its own >rs, and would like to do something o ease the tension. There has been io whimpering, however, on the parti >f Everett or Hayman, so the situa .| . k me ierry tump iuk husv bciicciuicq,i trip Sunday August 14$ when the] i— ' ■" One of Oldest Firms In Albemarle Section —Established In 1886 m j 1 -v ■" .vmw l ' " W <*■ ' v. ... f ■» .t:-., ■ v.- TVf-r-••**> ■ • ‘ . •Smrf'^svCs.'l |Mp .-1 . ,v ♦ ; s'-‘ j * i ,’=V - w* iwwlN ■ j Jr 11 9 ■ I , .

The Home Demonstration clubs meet once each month, and 4-H cltihs meet twice each month from September through May. , ; The-chief factors considered in planning a program of work are the needs and wishes of the people. An effort is made to plan and follow long-time programs, and to rotate projects. Major projects are select ed by the club members, through their officers. Each project is carried for a period of two years, and certificates are given to those women who carry out the program as planned. Local clubs have project leaders, appointed by the president, who are trained in special meetings during the year. At present the major project is Home Management, and in connection with thte a Kitchen Improvement contest :.. . jHpf mm T. B. WILLIFORD :itf w / i y • |» ; Hh 08888888 w..-. M. M.
