THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1961 Hats Off To Marines^ It is regretted that Chowan County failed to meet its quota of 175 pints of blood last week when the Red Cross bloodmobile was here. During the day 127 people volun teered and were accepted to donate a pint <ff blood, while 18, just as patriotic and cooperative, were rejected for various reasons, so that the quota fell short by 48 pints. Such would not have been the case had Chowan people in general been as cooperative as Marines stationed at the Edenton Air Station. At the base 54 Marines were available .to give blood and out of this number 51 appeared at the armory to vol unteer, which is a percentage of 94.4. Resides, of the blood donated during the day, 40 per cent came from the Marines. Ever since Marines occupied the Edenton Air Station they have cooperated fully with every worthwhile project in Edenton, and the appeal for blood is just another ex ample of how well the Marines can be depended upon—at home as much so as on the battlefront. They are to be congratulated and our hat’s off to the Marines. Do Your Part One of the sorriest symbols of our times is America’s automobile accident record. The summing up for 1950 has just reached us from The Travelers Insurance Companies who each year publish an almanac of crash data. Os all the facts about auto accidents in their booklet, the most significant, it seems to us is this: Almost 500,000 casualities in 1950 were the direct re sult of speeding. One out of every three Americans who lost their lives in last year’s wrecks met death because somone was driving too fast. Speed has been causing a greater percentage of acci dents year after year. In 1950, speed was a greater fac tor in traffic casualitis than at any time in history. Traffic laws and law enforcement are part of the an swer. Engineering will help some. But with perfect roads and perfect police work, the man behind the wheel can continue to exceed the speed limit if h wants-to or if he isn’t thinking. Keep this in mind when you drive. Stay within speed limits and you’ll be doing your full part in a crusade to reduce automobile accidents by one third. it’s here! it’s NEW! it’s super!

EDENTON ELIZABETH CITY .. ij ———— ■ ii i - - - -■"« Heard & Seen By “Buff” * * At last I’ve had a complimentary remark from IStige” Jones of the Edenton Police 'Department 'While out of the office Tuesday night “Barge” slipped in to drop the following note on my desk: “Well! Your old desk does look a little better than it used to. Congratulations! I certainly wish 1 had con tacted you while my wife was in the hospital with a brok en ankle. I’m sure I could have gotten some mighty fine points on cooking. But, say, you never mention the fact you washed any clothe*. Well, I did, and brother I had to wear ’em “rough dried.” Thank goodness those “college days” are over for the wife came home Sun day, but I’m still “hanging 'em out” Buff, duringjthese days I learned a lot about women. Yeah, those preCff, pink things I saw hanging on my neighbors’ clothes line on wash day, I thought were “ear muffs”, but J learned better." Why, “Sarge”! Anyway, “Sarge,” I’ll match my skill at making soft boiled eggs with the best of ’em, but if you need any points on other kinds of cooking—Well, I’m not advanced that far yet, and according to reports 1 hear, it’s no need for me to begin trying to learn at this late 'hour.. As to washing clothes, I have hard enough time to keep my neck and feet clean, not to say anything about my inky hands, so somebody else has to wash my clothes —which sometimes feel worse than “rough dried.” There’s no telling how many miles back seat drivers drive. For instance, the other day a woman was after D. 'Sidles to get a driving license, when he asked “Have you ever driven a car?” Before she could answer, her husband chimed in, “Heck, yes, she has driven 160,000 miles the past year and hasn’t put her hand on the wheel.” Next Saturday will be observed as Poppy Day and Mrs. J. L. Chestnutt has arranged a replica of Flanders Field at the foot of Broad Street. The display is very attrac tive and as one looks at the exhibit he should be moved to buy a poppy on Saturday in memory of those boys who gave their lives in order that we can be here to observe Poppy Day. It doesn’t seem natural to go in the Bank of Edenton this week. My friend Henry Gardner, executive vice president, is missing due to a heart attack which occurred Saturday morning at his home, and my understanding is that he will be confined to bed for several weeks. 'Here's hoping he will make satisfactory progress. One is kept right much in suspense these days—wondering who will be next to be brought down by a heart attack. o Frank Hughes is slowly progressing following a heart attack and has, several times, been allowed to sit on the front porch. What he would like to have is a fishing pole*long enough to reach over Sidney Smith’s machine shop so he can fish in the creek just beyond. o Herman White dropped in the office the other day to advertise rabbits for sale. I thought he was selling ’e*s as pets; but found out, he’s selling ’em to eat. Well, tllfe 1 “roll back” of prices on meat sent some cuts as high as sl*27 a pound, which puts me in the market to buy a rab bit for Sunday dinner. Looks like the roll back of meat prices rolled the wrong way. Anyway, it doesn’t cost anything to look at a nice beef steak yet. GET THE FEEL OF SUPER-EASY * DRIVING!
