Stews Are Taken To

(Continued From Page One)
the estimated cost of a curb and gut
ter on one side of the street amounted
to about $1,649. However, consider
able opposition developed in taking six
feet off only one side of the street,
so that the delegation was assured
that if money can be found to do the
work an equal number of feet will
he taken from each side of the street,
which will, of course, double the cost.
A committee of Town Councilrncn
reported havmg delved into the nos
sibilitv of adopting a plumbing code
for Edenton. However, a number of
problems were found in the plan, so
that the committee was given more
time to continue their study.
At the meeting it was reported that
an order had been given so” •'
stop light at Oakum and Church
Streets to replace the one which is out
of commission. In the meantime the
Street Department was instructed to
place stop signs at the intersection,
bn Oakum Street.
Although a petition had been signed
to construct a sidewalk on the north
side of Church Street from Court to
the railroad the Street Commissioner
reported that in the block from Oak
um to the railroad seven or eight
large trees are directly in the path of
the proposed sidewalk and that there
is insufficient room to lay a sidewalk
on either side of the trees. Due to
this situation, Town Clerk Ernest
Ward was instructed to prepare a new
petition, one for each block, which
will, of course, include the cost of
removing the trees in the' block be
tween Oakum Street and the railroad.
The Street Commissioner reported
that a request has been received to
furnish a driveway next to the Bridge-
Turn Service Station and that a tree
is in the way. Authority was given
to remove the tree in order to do this
work.
It was reported that efforts are now
underway to secure a USO Club for
service men in Edenton and Town
Clerk Ernest Ward was instructed to
write a letter to the regional direc
tor of the USO to the effect that Town
Council approves the proposal.

[Cottonseed Will Aid
In Fight Op Cancer
Cottonseed is helping fight cancer
in Hampton County, South Carolina.
At the opening of the cotton pick
ing season, the_ county’s cancer fund
campaign committee initiated this
plan to aid the drive.
Each cotton grower is asked.to give
a handful of seed from his cotton
when it is ginned. Gins, where the
seed is separated from the lint, are
cooperating by providing boxes to re
ceive the seed contributions.
At the end of the cotton season, the
seed will be sold and the proceeds
will be donated to the cancer fund.
There is no road to success but
through a clear, strong purpose. A
purpose underlies character, culture,
position, attainment of whatever
sort. —T. T. Munger.
The merchant who outsells his com
petitors out-advertises them also.

A man had been; waiting patiently
' in the poet office, but could not at
tract the attention of either of the
- girls behind the counter.
“The evening cloak,” explained one
of the girls to her companion, “was
a redingote design in gorgeous lama
brocade with fox fur and wide pagoda
sleeves,”
At this point the long-suffering
customer broke in with:
“I would if you could provide me
with a neat purple stamp with a dinky
perforated hem. The tout ensembled
deliberately treated on the reverse
side with mucilage. Something at
about two cents.”
