Scoutin’ A round By PETER CARLTON PETER A, CARLTON ' tions, and members of school, city and county administrations and all others to make known the desirability of coming to Edenton for ? their meetings, amidst a natural, friendly, peaceful atmosphere. ° j From picking up a„-thread of conversation here and there, the j people of Edenton and Chowan County seem to favor the idea of < eliminating the countless drives and uniting the efforts of our busy people into one tremendous effort. Organi zations are now being contacted with a view toward initiating united action. ■; o—— We were astounded at the tal ent displayed by local citizens in the art of oil painting, and in drawings made with pencil, cray on and pastels. We’d like to back up a statement made by one Chowanian who said that with everyone doing his or her part, Edenton and Chowan County ' could stand out eventually as the hub of culture in the Albemarle. .Music appreciation, art. writing are much in evidence. There are beauties here that would attract writers and artists from all over the world. ——o —— Let’s turn out for the Senior Class play tomorrow evening. The kids have worked hard and want to play to a packed house. o We hear that Bill Warren is , the proud pappy of a young ’un.

One of the largest of such groups met last week with more than five hundred persons participating. We speak of the meeting of the Home Demonstration Clubs. A great deal of credit should be given to those groups and individuals responsible for bringing these gatherings. Come to think of it, Edenton, the historical capital, seems to be coming more and more into its own again as the focal point of the Al bemarle.

But it is generally agreed that locking them up and just working them on the roads dur- < ing their waking hours is not doing much in rehabilitating them for their return to society. Generally speaking, those who do violate the codes of society are those who are not prepared to meet the stress and strain of life. Their family background is often such that they don’t have much of a chance to have a nor mal outlook. The first step has been taken. How much farther and how much more progress will be made, depend in a great meas ure on the interest shown by the public. t o We are told that one of our judges spoke of the problem relative to youthful offenders as far back as 15 years ago. But there had been up until now a lack of public interest. We know the people would be inter ested if they had been informed. Newspapers, the radio, public of ficials, religious groups, educators, civic, fraternal and veterans organi zations should work hand in hand to further a plan whereby these kids can be taught a trade, and whereby a system of mental and social re education can be effected. This does I not mean pampering, or lessening the penalties to be paid for one’s trans gressions, but “training with a pur-! pose” cannot help but produce results. | Let’s watch with interest this first step forward in the rehabil itation ol youthful prisoners of society. Let us not he hasty in i pre judging these first explora tory steps. Let us make known to our public representatives that we are interested in the pro gram and are willing to lend our I support. In North Carolina, we are told, these prisoners come un der the State Highway and Pub lic Works Commission, with A. H. "Sandy” Graham, as chairman of the Commission. That this step of segregating the kid pris oners was made, indicates that there is definite awareness of the problem. (There are many of us who feel, however, that it is not to the best interest of these Boulevards/ mmt 11 § ■ li mSu •oon IM> ivwiUU) e. You’re practically that, of course, the minute you take over any new 1947 Buick. Never before has any automobile so completely won the country by its beauty so clearly de fined the shape of cars to come. But really to take the stage and hold it to cut a dashing figure in the smartest of smart company Mister, just picture yourself in this hold beauty here.

The demand for library service has doubled in the following ways: Cir culation in Edenton and the county, attendance and supplies and furniture. The State allotment of ssl per month can only be used for purchase of books, library service, supplies and transportation of books in the rural districts. The library receives sls a month from the city and $lO from the county. From this financial aid rent is paid, as well as light, water, fuel, furniture and purchase of additional books.
