Broad Street hv James it, Newcomer The Edenton Police Department, which is gradually gaining the reputation of being the friendliest and most courteous Police Depart ment in the State, made a new step Saturday night. A lady traveling through town stopped in front of the Pd ice Station and inquired of Sergeant Dob Pratt if he knew where she could get a bottle of Coca O la. Sergeant Pratt, who is a past master at being nice to people who deserve to be treated nicely, said, “Just a minute,“ and walked to his desk, got out one of the pots he had in there for the night : midnight- lunch, opened it and served it to the lady on the curb, h ighway Patrolman Sergeant George Duil says that’s one for the books.

Scene trom the picture “The Adventures of Mark Twain” at Taylor Theatre, Edenton, to day (Thursday) and Friday. Lieut. Charles Wood Home From Pacific Lieut, and Mrs. Charles H. Wood, j Jr., are spending a few days with' Lieut. Wood’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wood, on Broad Street. Lieut. Wood last week returned from the Pacific war theatre, having been attached to Task Force 58 as skipper of a squadron of .torpedo I planes on the U. !S, S. Batan, and has seen service in the Marshall Islands area in ami around Kwaja lei i, guing from there to the Mari anas, where he participated in the bombing of Guam, and furnished air i " coverage’ .for the - spectacular rescue j of Tweede, about which so much has t been written in the news. While in ! and arouml the Mariana's-, the llalan j was a part .of the sorte that bombed the islands of Chichi Jima and lo j Jiiiia on June Hi and 17. While on , this operation Lieut. Wood flew to i within 200 miles of Tokyo. His out- ! fit bombed for several days the j island of Saipan before starting on this sorte, which was a part of the I protective scheme for the landing opei at ions which were under way at that time. .. During the return from the mis sions over Chichi Jima and In Jima ( the Jap fleet was sighted, and it was ( leanied that they had already start- 1 ' ed launching planes for an attack on * f the task force of which the Batan i was a part. The battle that ensued ' resulted in the destruction of some 300 Jap planes and a loss of 90 of our own and the withdrawal of the I Jap fleet to parts still unknown. This was the second trip Lieut. Wood has made to the Pacific, his I first being in and around the Coral i Sea in 1943, during which time he 1 was a part of the air cover fur- 1 nished the Marinies for landing op- i erations at Guadalcanal and Munda. < Lieut. Wood is a graduate of the j Edenton High School, The Citadel in Charleston, S. C., where he partici pated in the civil aeronautic training then just being established. He ob-, tained a pilot’s license during this training and upon graduation enter ed the Naval Air Forces, receiving further training at Jacksonville, Fla., San Diego, Cal., and the Naval : Air Station at Norfolk. After spending a few days with; 1 his parents he will again be assigned ! to the Air Station at Jacksonville,; where he will most probably be as signed to instruction of other fliers j in combat tactics. Mrs. Wood, the former Miss Nolle Riddick of Gatesville, is the daugh ter of the late Emmett Riddick and Mrs. Nelle Weeks Riddick of Eliza beth City.
