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. I'm knocking on wood as I
write t' it we do not have a case of
polio in Chowan County as yet. Note
to boys and girls from Chowan
County in the service: Here are
some things that will make you
think f Kilenbm: Izzie Cam pen
wearing his pants three inches below
his waistline . . . John Sutton com
ing sio* ly up I!road Street saying
“hello” to everybody he meets and
cussing those who do not return the
“hello:' . . . Mint Warren still wear
ing his trousers short enough so he
can display his white socks . . 7
' Charlie Wood walking in the middle
of Kroad Street instead of the side
walk ar.d smoking his pipe . . . Dave
Holton chewing cigars without ever
lighting them . . . Jack McMullan
explaining in detail some historical
place to a stranger . . . Doc K. B.
Davis bragging about what the boys
who used to work for him are do
ing to the Japs and Germans . . . T.
VV. (Kid) Jones sho-shoing about
how many plumbers have been here
and gone since he has been in the
plumbing business .7. . Jimmy Earn
hardt putting window cards in all
the windows up town every Saturday
morning displaying the program for
the Taylor Theatre for the week . . .
Herbert Hollowed at the Triangle
slicing ham so thin that he almost
misses the ham . . . Lloyd Burton,l
whether he means it or not, is still j
always smiling , . . Cal Kramer still
lias his ’39 Chevvie looking like it
just came from the factory. Well,
Old Newcomer could go on talking
about the town’s folks, but I’m tired
and no doubt you’re glad, so that’s
aljj folks!

Using Idle Garments
With clothing scarce, high-priced,
and no; up to standard, it is wisdom
tii rowvrk the idle garments that can
be worn, says Ruth Current of X. C.
State College. Before autumn comes
i* a particularly good time to round
up prospect- .and see whether out-of

enough.;n them to be. worth turning

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.

May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry,
irregular habits, improper eating and
I drinking—its risk of exposure and infec
tion —throws heavy strain on the work
I of the kidneys. They are-apt to become
over-ta.*ed and f./i *•> fArr excess.acid
! and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You mav suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, gelling up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan’s Pills. Doan’s help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom
mended by grateful users everywhere.
