One of the highlights of 1 the show will be Tommy Boyd, vet . eran parachute jumper from Los Angeles, Cal. r Mr. Boyd has the dubious honor of being the only living bat wing para • chute jumper. His record includes more than 600 parachute jumps, 200 , of which have been soaring drops using his bat wing. Boyd’s equip • ment includes a bat wing suit with webbing between the legs and ex tending up to folding wings with a span of 9 feet. He leaves the air plane at 10,000 feet and soars down some 9,700 feet before opening his parachute. During this soaring flight, he executes spirals and turns. Due to the distance of two miles high, it is impossible for the spec tators to see Mr. Boyd as he leaves the airplane, so in order that the crowd may follow his rapid descent, a smoke attachment has been rigged to the bat suit. This leaves a beau tiful smoke trailer and the chutist’s flight through the air can be followed until he soars close enough to be dis cernible by the naked eye. At an altitude of 300 feet, directly in front of the crowd, Boyd pulls the rip cord and his chute opens just in time to break his tremendous speed and float him gently to the ground. By streamlining his body with the aid of his wings Boyd is able to at tain a diving speed of more than 180 miles an hour. He controls his flighi through the air by movements of his legs, the webbing between them act ing as elevators. His banks and turns are obtained by twisting his body. One remarkable fact about his jump is that he does not decellerate his speed or tumble before opening THE NEW Eden Theatre EDENTON, N. C. Week Day Shows 7 and 9 P. M.

N. C.,THURSDAY, JUNE. 3, 1948- his chute. He spills one wing ,which throws him sideways and pulls the rip cord at approximately 160 miles air hour. This tremendous decelera tion accounts for most of his injuries in carrying out his profession. It I amounts to slowing down from a speed of 160 miles an hour to a speed of 12 miles per hour, in two and one half seconds- Boyd has taken honors throughout the nation in precision | spot jumping. Even from a tre mendous altitude of two miles, and after soaring for 9,700 feet, it is seldom that he misses his pre determined landing spots more than a few feet. * Car Inspection Lane In Edenton June' 8 To 12 t f■ r ■ One of the, State’s automobile in -3 spection lanes will return to Edenton and will be in operation June 8 to 12. f The lane will again be located on .

Voters Fail To Elect Governor Continued From Page One Both Graham and White conceded the election to Cohoon when his majority steadily mounted and sent in their congratulations. Another one-sided contest was that for Chowan County Representative in the General Assembly in which J- H. McMullan outdistanced Eugene (Shorty) Perry 1,023 votes to 277. McMullan led in each of the county’s ; six precincts from 2 to over 7 to 1. Perry’s largest vote was in East Edenton precinct", where he received I 105 votes. The closest vote was in i Rocky Hock precinct where he was given 39 votes to 79 for McMullan. , In Yeopim precinct McMullan led , more than 7 to 1 with 61 votes to 8 : for Perry. West Edenton was just as one-sided with McMullan getting 398 votes to 55 for Perry. Though Congressman Herbert Bon ner had no opposition, 1,271 votes were cast for him. For county offices, there was no op position, so that each one will suc ceed himself. These officers include Marvin Wilson, judge of recorder’s court; Weldon Hollowell, prosecuting attorney for recorder’s court; George Hoskins, treasurer; Maurice L. Bunch, register of deeds; and W. W. Byrum, A. S. Hollowell, J. R. Peele, E. N. Elliott and J. A. Webb as county commissioners. Comparatively little interest pre- Too Late To Classify FOR SALE—AUTOMOBILE. FIRST offer $175.00. Cash.
