I Landscaping Makes Sense j It is no accident that the Garden State Park- Ivay in New Jersey was the safest of the na tion’s major toll roads for the second year in a W(w. It was nearly three times as safe as the average toll read with a fatality rate of 1.2 per ICjO million vehicle miles compared to 3.1 for thie average. | .The Garden.' State Parkway is probably the pest landscaped toll road in the country. The Roadsides havfe been preserved and trees and planted wherever necessary to guide traf fic and remove headlight glare from oncoming Automobiles. It also is a beautiful highway, de gd with coordinated engineering and land ng skills to be quiet and restful. Despite teavy traffic load, it is like driving along * try road. One could not with accuracy slate that landscaping alone produced such an out standing safety record, but good landscaping in combination with sound highway engineering ■most certainly did. “’ Charles Burr, Manchester, Conn., chairman of the American Association of Nurserymen’s high way committee, recently stated: “It’s been demonstrated that proper planting of highways can reduce traffic aocidents ... if plaqs for landscape planting are included in the highway program from the beginning the cost Will be fractional compared with the cost of the, highway construction. It’s when you try to squeeze in plantings after highways are built that landscape costs are increased.” Highway landscaping serves as a barrier or “muffler" for traffic noises and fumes in popu . lated areas. It reduces hazardous monotony. It keeps property values from falling in residential through which the highways pass. It pro vides, with landscaping of access roads entering cities ancl towns more beautiful approaches to municipalities that encourage local business. It is conceivable that considerable local tourist sjnd other business could be drained from many mu nicipalities if their approaches from the federal highways are drab and uninteresting, with con sequent loss of tax" revenues, plus accelerated depreciation Os business and residential , prop erti«6. There is a great deal to lose and nothing to gain by not properly including functional land- Spaping in state plans for federal highways now, while there is an opportunity to do so at the ! least possible cost. Finally, landscaping can make and keep our national roadsides attractive. One has only to drive any heavily-travelled old U. S. highway with its cluttered, slum-like roadsides to realize the r“<-essity for making the highways more beautiful. Any way one looks at it, highway landscapine. prestntly practiced on a rapidly increasing scale in most states, makes sense. ATTENTION!! PUZZLE FANS!!

Which reminds me what «* ir-iend from Norfolk told me the other day. He picked up thtfee along the highway and after .the boys got in «e car my friend.asked,. “ you home?” *onp ol the b«ya replied, “N«r sir/’ Then the boys “Why . are in schqol at this time-of day? w Whei’eußgh of the boys 3»ieL‘*Weli, you see" if a certain f>£fbentage of kids axe .out -of school due to sickness, the school will be Olosed, so we thought we’d help ’em out a little.”,^' 5 “ V ■ TM.-r R* O Now I f lnsw the significance of the two chairs beside the desks of Graham White and Edward Wells over at Jfidttyifjfc sitting in one of the chairs trying to reduce a note when Gurnie Hobbs' passed by "and asked, “What are you doing sitting there at the mourner’s . bench?” Well, that’s a mighty good name if you ask me, for very seldom do you see smiles com ing from the folks who occupy those chairs. —o- A,couple of fellows went fishing the other day and' one of -’em caught one of those “big” fish. “Should I put (tils' tittle fellow 1- 6n “the strmger? r ' one asked of the other. Looking around, his friend replied, “Why sure, it has two eyes and a tail, hasn’t it?” —o Last week I hhd .something to say about a group •of Pocahontas ipdies having coffee and a little snack at my house while cleaning up the Red Men hall. I forgot to mention Mrs. Myrtle Hollowell, who was one-of the group who chipped in to clean up the hall and helped make up the group of snack visitors. Funny how forgetful a fellow gets sometimes—and especially as the age creeps up. '<• o Evelyn Leary found a green and yellow parakeet back Os Hotel Joseph Hewes a week or two ago and used a classified ad to try to find the own er. It is h very nice pet, but Evelyn has all the parakeets she wants, so if th(e owner does not claim it, she sa)ps “I’m going to sell the darned bird.” Anybody lost a.nice parakeet? o Brannirtg Perry owns a very lot along the waterfront and while passing it the other dey. spied a “housed’- xapidly being completed on the lot" He later leaned that boys in the neighbor hood wanted to build a “house” and picked his lot for it. The house isn't quite in keeping with the lotrbut Branning’s brother Percy says “maybe it’s the best he can do.” Anyway Brantjing, like all the other automobile dealers in Edenton, is too busy with the r)ew model cars to bother about building a house now. . u °—“ — • Apparently some- of the Spectators at football don't know much about the game. For in stance one lady at Friday night’s game on Hicks ..field saw fhg cheerleaders leading the Aces to the field and sha wanted to know why the boys were chasing'tfti girls. Then when Henry Overton kick ed the ball over the fence for .the extra point after a'touchdown, she” said, “the ball went over the fence, is the game over now?” Another thing she couldn't quite understand was they have to have quarters and a half in a football game and couldn’t understand the difference between a fullback and halfback—“they all look about the same to me,” sha said. , —o One of Edenton’s deer hunters. Pm told, missed J a perfect shot a little while back and, of course, I suffered the consequences. .. But he remained at hi Rostand and tme of the party passed by later and saw him raising and pointing his gun time after time. “What are you doing?” he was asked, “Do you see a deer?” He’ dropped the gun and replied “No. I'm iust aiming to see how in the devil I miss ed that deer.”- .• THE CHOWAW HERALD.

OCTOBER 91, Aces Gerßcady Meet Piwiamith OnFricfayyNight Edenton’s Acts, aJter playing four on home soil, will journey on Friday night to lock horns with the Plymouth Pairtftbs in the fi nal Albemarle Conference game of the season. „• .i . ~The ''Panthers have an unim pressive record, having won only one game,.According to reports, that being over Manteo, and los ing all of their conference games, so that the AcegiAHß enter, the game with the Ptumprs decidedly the underdog. -lIF- j However, the Plfflhers’ record is no definite assurance that they will be easy picking for the Aces, so that Coach Bill Billings is put ting the boys through workouts in anticipation of another hard fought game and Warfcng his boys about the danger ob; over-confi dence. Fans, too, have a vivid recollection of last Friday night's game when Ahoskie, on paper, should have been an easy prey for the Aces, but instead they caus ed consternation to reign in the Edenton camp by giving the Aces the fight of their lives and final ly allowing the Aces a/mere one point victory. Friday niglht’s victory oyer Ahoskie clinched the Albemarle Conference Championship for the Aces, for even if they are defeat ed by Plymouth next Friday night it would be a -tie between Wil liamston and Edenton, and the Aces have defeated the Green Wave, so that according to con ference rules the Aces would be declared winners. Though not officially notified, the Aces will participate in the playoffs for the State Class A Championship Friday night, No vember 8. Also not official, the Aces are expected to clash with Weldon, champions of the Roa noke-Chowan Conference. Ac cording to scouting reports, Wel FOR SALE AT AUCTION Friday, Nov. Bth ... 11 A. M.

The theme of the meeting was a Halloween party which included the husbands. It was a hilarious affair with games ranging from “bob the apples” to chewing bubble gum and blowing up balloons. Nineteen persons attended and were served refreshments of doughnuts and apple cider. Recognized By Its Workings Mrs. Biter —Talk of. conscience! I don’t believe you know what a conscience is. Mr. Biter —I do. It’s that in ward monitor that, when you’ve • done wrong, prompts you to think up an excuse for blaming someone else.
