"We greet our friends and neighbors with a warm ’hello’ but so often we’d like to send written congrat ulations on special occasions.” The Community Birthday Cal endar sale is now in full swing. Members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Woman's Club and Business and Professional Women’s Club, sponsors of the project, are busy making house to-house calls taking orders for listings on the calendars. Friends will welcome this opportunity of finding out when you have a birthday, a wedding anniversary, or meetings of the various civic organizations. Although the idea of the com munity birthday calendar isn’t exactly original, it certainly helps make a friendly community even more friendly'. The merchants of, Edenton will carry ads on the calendars; many of them offering: gifts and discounts to citizens on i purchases made oh their birthday, j These “extras” give the calendar; a special air of goodwill and j friendliness. “Birthdays are. important. When yop answer your door, don’t turn the solicitor awav emotv-handed. List the whole family and join in. the fun—there’s still time/’j Miss Felton stated.

Coffman, of the same com i mand. j Landing signal officers have been used since the aircraft car rier concept was first realized and have saved many pilots from crashing while landing on an air j craft carrier. An LSO must be alert mentally, be able to make split-second decisions, and have lightning reflexes. But even these qualifications are not enough: an LSO must also be a qualified pi ! lot and go through an extensive 1 training period. The first step toward becoming lan LSO-is observing a qualified j LSO, next the man assists the | LSO on the radio and then prac- I tices on an airstripe on shore. As- I ter a man is field aualified he j must then practice aboard an air- I craft carrier and only then can ! the man, a landing signal officer now, ascend to his platform on the deck of the carrier and di rect the landing airplanes by him self. It is necessary that an LSO be a pilot so that he can understand the maneuvering necessary to suc cessfully land an airplane on an aircraft carrier. An LSO wears a special suit that has strips of luminous cloth running the length of the arms and legs. This en | ables the pilots to locate him on j the strip quickly. He has two I l-foot square signal paddles with j luminous strips of cloth running j vertically. With these, he assists the landing pilots by maneuvering his signal paddles in prescribed positions which inform the pilot of his altitude, airplane altitude and airspeed. There is now in operation a new concept of aiding the pilot in ear- I rier landings. It is a mirror j landing system. This system con j sists of the pilot flying to an in jterception course with a large Engagement Announced ——. jm Mrs. W. F. Perry announces the engagement of her daughter. Peggy Louise, to Merritt Hooper, Jr. The wedding will take place Sunday afternoon, October 27, at 4 o'clock at the City Road Methodist Church of Elizabeth City. The public is invited. mirror on the deck of the carrier., A ball of light, called the “meat- 1 ball” shines on uie mirror and i the incoming pilot flies so that the “meatball” stays in the center of the mirror. This gives the pi lot the proper angle of descent to land. The LSO, who maintains radio contact with the pilot, helps him control his airspeed, aircraft altitude, and line up with the air craft carrier. The LSO still con- 1 trols the “Wave Off” (signal not to land), by flashing red lights on the mirror and if necessary, by transmission by the radio. The new mii'ror then replaces the sig nal paddles used by the LSO. Pilots still have to be field qual ified on the signal paddle con trol in case of breakdown in the, mirror system or heavy seas. But whether or not the new mirror system is used or the older signal paddle method, the LSO is still /€iv MODERN COMPONENTS AND I l»idmiPJWl TIME • tested METHODS f 1 ★ REDUCES OPERATING LABOR I Model B\ Picker \\ illi I lie Ne« Offset Recleaner And Bagger That Folds Up Quick Moving when your vines are rank and tough, a BENTHALL has got the stuff— TO PICK ’EM CLEAN...

DRAINAGE PROBLEM Frank Coston was spokesman for a delegation at the County Commissioners in regard to a ; drainage problem along the Sandy Ridge Road in upper Chowan 1 County. It was reported that logs have been thrown in a ditch to provide a driveway and that tree limbs are obstructing water I flowing to a swamp. The delegation was informed that the State Highway and Pub-! lie Works Commission will be contacted in the interest of some | relief. The men were also ad vised that under present law when trees are cut down, the! I limbs must not be allowed to ob-! struct the flow of water. Directors Elected For Chamber Commerce i Continued from Page I—Section 1 : —— . so that in the election Bill Per- Iry and John A. Holmes were elected in place of James Bond and Gerald James. These directors are scheduled to ! meet in the Municipal Building I this (Thursday) afternoon at 5 ! o'clock for the purpose of electing j officers and changing the by-laws i and constitution to apply to the , local organization. The directors 1 will also adopt a name for the or -1 ganization, which will be incor | porated as non-stock and non profit. | Mr. Wood again reiterated that members should not expect a miracle to happen but pointed out that it takes time, patience and hard work to reap the benefits of a Chamber of Commerce. “The hardest thing is to get started,” he said. "We have made a splen did start with a well founded group of people starting some thing which will be carried on and benefit the generations that will follow.” He complimented j the men who gave of their time ; to canvass for memberships, as j well as those who were willing Ito make an investment in the progress and welfare of Edenton, and all who helped to promote the Chamber of Commerce in tak ing a step forward for which all may well be proud. He paid spe cial recognition to Ernest Ward, Jr., for his efforts in behalf of Edenton and the Chamber of Commerce movement, and Tom Hopkins, Warren Twiddy and Joe Conger, Jr., for the work done on various committees. Before the meeting adjourned Mr. Ward stated that he was also very proud of the accomplish ment in organizing a Chamber of | Commerce. He said that as Town Clerk he has handled 1,800 pieces of correspondence addressed to the Chamber of Commerce, some being tourists seeking informa i tion, some relative to Edenton as a place of retirement, as well as varied kinds of other information. Mr. Ward stated that Edenton has the best opportunity in the world for the tourist business, pointing out that there are origi nal places of historical interest as compared with artificial sites at many other places. “If we pro -1 mote what we have here,” he said, I we will be better off in attract- I in? the vast tourist business. We have an opportunity for everlast ing growth.” In closing Mr. Ward wished the Chamber of Commerce success and offered his services in any jvay they might be needed. At the conclusion of the meet ing a rising vote of thanks was called for in appreciation of the time and efforts Gilliam Wood has contributed toward revival of a Chamber of Commerce.
