Edenton Lions Buy
Glasses For Needy
Families In County
Assistance Result of
Easter Seal Sale and
Variety Show Spon
sored By Club
In connection with its work
with persons who have sight dif
ficulties, the Edenton Lions re
cently financed the purchase of
glasses for 23 needy local people.
This work was done in coopera
tion with the North Carolina
State Commission for the Blind
and the Chowan County Welfare
Department. The three adults
and twenty children were from
low income families and were
unable to pay for their eye care.
Ernest Ward, Jr., chairman of
the Easter Seal drive, pointed out
that this work is financed by the
Easter Seal and other drives,
such as the Variety Show. He
stressed that persons who donate
to the Easter Seal campaign
should derive great personal
satisfaction from knowing that
their contribution had helped
some person who is handicapped
Often this assistance enables the
child to achieve better grades in
school, or the adult to find and
hold a job.

Governor Proclaims j
May As “See North ,
Carolina Month*
Governor Luther H. Hodges
has proclaimed May as “See
North Carolina Month.” '
In his proclamation the Gov-,
emor states that “See North
Carolina Month” is dedicated to
the wider use and greater en
joyment by North Carolinians
of their own unequalled vaca
tion attractions, both during this [
month and throughout the year.
Originating at such far flung
points as Manteo on the seacoast
and Murphy in the mountains,
seven different units of caravan
will travel across North Caro
lina today (Thursday). Addi
tional floats, automobile and
personnel will join the caravans
as they proceed to Raleigh by
major highways.
At 9 A. M. Friday all vehicles
in the caravans will assemble
at Raleigh’s municipal audi
torium for a parade up Fayette
ville Street to Capitol Square.
Mrs. Sara Hurdle Everett, as
sistant manager of the Caro
linian at Nags Head, has been
selected to portray Queen Eliza- ,
beth in the caravan. She will
wear the original costume which
is worn each summer by the
Queen in the Lost Colony, the |
symphonic drama shown at Fort
Raleigh on Roanoke Island each
summer. Mrs. Everett, who is a
native of Edenton and the
daughter of Mrs. R. W. Hurdle,
is also the president of the
Manteo Woman’s Club, and is
active in organizations both on
tiie beach and in Manteo.

“The second point will be a
substantiation of the economy
of the new Chevies. Recently,
in unbiased tests by the Na
tional Association for Stock Car
Research, Chevrolet was proven
to give better mileage than its
two leading competitors. The
lecord we make here is expect
ed to show that the certificates
of championship issued by
NASCAR can be supported by
the experience of the average
driver.”
