Albemarle Sound And Its Many Tributaries (Continued from Page One) along the banks of Chowan River and Weapomeiock Sound and later cross ed over and settled the Roanoke River section. At this time between the dates of 1622 and 1663 this whole section be tween the James and Roanoke Rivers was considered a portion of Virginia and was governed if governed at all from Jamestown, Virginia. Albemarle Sound receives and car ries to the Atlantic Ocean a larger volume of water than any stream on the Atlantic Coast except Chesapeake Bay. It is 60 miles long by an aver age width of 5 miles. It has several main tributaries, the Pasquotank, Per quimans, Scuppemong, Roanoke, Cho wan, Meherrian, Nottoway, and Black water Rivers. All of them are deep enough to be navigable by steamers and dozens of smaller streams, some of which are navigable. In all of them are 350 miles of navigable wa ter. Albemarle Sound and tributaries are the watershed for 24 Virginia counties and 20 in North Carolina. There is living on this watershed more than 2,000,000 people of the purest native stock. Only 3 per cent of which are foreign bom. Along the banks of the Sound and its tributar ies, there are located 22 towns and cities besides hundreds of villages, j The Sound and its longest tributary in length (the Roanoke River) is 436 miles from the north end of Roaaoke Island to a mountain spring 40 miles west of Roanoke, Virginia, where the Roanoke Rives rises on the continen tal divide.

This was inr the days of the sailing vessel. Then the steamer came into general use and at one time in the 80’s and 90’s there ' were more than 200 steamers plying its waters. It was indeed a bearer of commerce but after the railroads came and later improved highways that provided quick means of trans portation, the water traffic faded away and Albemarle Sound ceased to be a bearer of commerce but became a -barrier to commerce instead and now only occasionally a lonely tug boat pulling barges is seen plowing its waters. | The old Albemarle has served its purpose to the generations that have gone on and maybe the Good Lord will find another good use for it except just to be a watershed for 34,000 square miles of Virginia and North Carolina territory.

C„ THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1953. Coast Guard Aid ; Hits ARTune High , Fifth District Reports \ 117 Assistance Cases In July l The number of distress assistance 3 cases handled during July by Coast t Guard units in the Fifth District, . which stretches from the Delaware | border to South Carolina, soared to an all-time record for any other single month, the Coast Guard reports. i Coast Guardsmen assigned to the , Fifth District Rescue Coordination Center in the Norfolk Post Office . building from which nearly all rescue , activities are directed, report July’s , total of 171 assistance cases breaks all . monthly records, at least as far back as old-timers around the office can remember and old record books indi- , cate. And the Coast Guard points out . that about an additional 100 reports of Coast Guard assistance rendered during July that were not of an emer ' gent enough nature to be included, on the regular total are still due to be reported to the rescue center in Nor folk. Almost without exception the month ' of July, with its pleasure boatmen , and bathers, accounts for the great est number of assistance cases handled by the Coast Guard throughout the year. The lives of some 15 persons and an estimated three million dollars’ worth of property were saved by the Coast Guard during July. Chief reasons for the greatly in creasing rescue totals probably are that more and more Americans are buying motorboats and sailing craft every year, and that in the past few years the Coast Guard has considerab- , |ly enlarged its fleet of utility and rescue vessels, which gives assistance ( to many craft that in the past might have gone unaided. Knotty Problems Vex I Town Coundlmeit (Continued From Page One) beside the baseball park to the rear j of the new high school, which is al- \ most impassable at times, and to ■ spread marl back of the school for a j bus parking area. It was agreed that the town will improve the road and . that the school will purchase and ■ spread the marl after the area is graded by the town. The matter of title to Hicks Field a train cropped up. It was a creed to hold a special joint meeting of-Town Council and the school trustees Tues day night, August 25, at 7:30 o’clock I in another effort to iron out this tan- I gle of ownership. Some discussion of the armory also developed and it was th4 sense of the Coundlmen that the Town should transfer ownership to the North Caro lina National Guard. J. Clarence Leary, John Mitchener and George Al ma Byrum were appointed as a com mittee to see if this can be done. A petition Was properly presented to lay a sidewalk on the north side of Church Street from the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Brunson to Hie Nor folk Southern Railroad. Not enough | property owners signed the petition for a sidewalk on the south side of the street. Speeding hazards o n Granville Street were reported, where, in three ' blocks there are 48 children. It was decided to reduce the speed limit from 35 to 25 miles from Water Street to Freemason and place stop signs at Gale and Albemarle Streets. It was also ordred to allow parking on only the west side of Granville Street be tween Gale and Freemason Streets. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Lackey of Ashe ville, N. C., announce the engagement of their daughter, Helen Augusta, to Hector Lupton, Jr., of Raleigh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hector Lupton of Edenton.
