Chowan Again Digging | Out Os 15-Inch Snow (Continued from Page One) visitors who, after managing to get this far on their journey, both north and south, decided not to risk nego tiating further travel. Hotel Joseph Hewes was filled to capacity and sleeping quarters were at a premium at all tourist homes Tuesday night. Many were taken into private homes for the night. Members of the Police Department, Chamber of Commerce and Cannon Company aided Tuesday night in finding sleeping quarters for many who were stranded. Cars and trucks were parked in the snow about •town, and on Wednesday morning a traffic jam developed at Broad and Queen Streets and at Broad and Church. Several Highway Patrol men were on the job directing traffic which was jammed for a distance of three miles toward Windsor. Many I cars were stuck, but were aided by ! groups pushing and in some instances tractors and jeeps were brought into service.’ - After noon Tuesday the State High way forces managed to open up U. S. Route 17, but even -then traveling was dangerous, and with the volume of snow on the ground a path only wide enough for travel was cleared, j Lacking snow-removing equipment, I the Edenton Street Department faced a serious problem. Three of the trucks were stalled and an effort was made to clear driving space in the business section first. However, the grading, machine stalled in the snow, I and even when hooked to the town’s small tractor no headway could be I made. Later a larger tractor was secured from the Byrum Implement & Truck Company, which did manage with great difficulty to clear a driving space on Broad Street, but could not make any headway on any side streets. On Tuesday night Captain j William P. Jones of the local Cannon I Company of the National Guard of ! sered the services of one of the out j fit’s Sherman-tanks to pull the town’s grader or in any other way to help remove the snow. The matter was brought up at the meeting of Town Council, but the opinion was advanced that the grader might be too light to negotiate the power of the tank and the resistance of the great volume of snow. However, the matter was left with the Street Commisioner, who felt inclined to put the idea into ac tion in an effort to make some head- Reioltd wHh "Stetrhead" tht tonned-for-wear SoUather.

The mail truck from Suffolk and Norfolk was unable to make the trip. L. M.

Henry Bunch, I I substituting for W. Jim Daniels, who ( | is sick, called the post office Wednes , day morning that it was absolutely ' impossible for him to even get out of his yard. Snow on the rural roads is anywhere from 8 to 20 inches deep and in some places drifted to even greater depth. Very few tracks had been made up to Wednesday morning, so that if rural mail is delivered even . on Friday, it is expected to be only on | the principal roads. Though the snow caused no little hardships, possibly the most concern ! developed among members of the local Firt Department, for with traveling so difficult and dangerous it would have been hard to reach the scene of Ia • fire. As a precautionary measure i I members of the department volunteer-1 ed to remain at the fire station at, night in order to be on hand if a fire developed. Fortunately, however, no alarm was sent in from Monday until The Herald went to press Wednesday afternoon. Chowan County schools have suffer ed a crippling blow as a result of the i snow. In Edenton schools were closed Tuesday and Wednesday, with a pos sibility of remaining closed the re mainder of the week. With six white buses and two colored buses using rural roads, it will depend upon when these roads can be used as to when school will be resumed. Superinten dent John A. Holmes will depend upon Finformation from Highway patrolmen j as to when the roads are opened. In the county unit schools were also i closed Tuesday and according to Superintendent W. J. Taylor, it is un certain when schools will be reopened. County roads are impassable, so that in this unit also the resumption of classes will depend upon when th© highways can be used. Mr. Taylor is | hopeful, however, that school can bo resumed the first of next week. BACK AC HI For quick comforting help tor iMttakA Rheumatic Pain., dotting Up Nlgbftß |M| cloudy urine.
