These j visits to the fish houses were | happy highlights in my life, and a phase of my boyhood 1 have never forgotten. The disappearance of small craft, fishing boats, oyster boats, a schooners, sail and gas boats is a passing scene that gave Edenton Bay a picturesque and romantic setting. One could al most imagine Edenton still in the past, when men went down to the sea in ships, and most of the world’s shipping was car ried on by hardy men before the mast. OBSERVATIONS— Tfiere are so many rules, regulations and checks on the care, health and welfare of modern babies, I’m wondering how so many of us older folk managed to survive . . . Time was, not so long ago, when Fidel Castro was master of a revolution, but it now looks to this observer that the revo lution is mastering Castro. From all appearances, the revolution is getting out of hand, and it's j going to' take someone stronger and less erratic than Castro to bring it under control again. If affairs in Cuba continue on the disastrous path they are now traveling, it will not be long before Castro will go the way Batista went.

THE WEST The saddle, as much a part of the Western scene as the horse, was intro ‘duced into the western area of the United States by'the Span iards, in 1541. Coronado, a , Spanish explorer and adventurer, ! brought both the horse and the saddle into the West, and into the lives of the Indians. The Indians were the first Ameri cans to adopt the saddle as a necessary and convenient com plement to good horsemanship; and many and varied, and sur . prisingly practical were the , saddle designs of the Indians. The saddle has gone through many stages of development, from simple forms to elaborate, handworked leather, silver and gem encrusted modern models, selling for thousands of dollars. ;Even a good, average saddle is expensive, but a Westerner will spare no expense to outfit his horse with a fine saddle; and next to his horse a Westerner values his saddle most.

PHTHISIC’S COW MAKES HIGH PRODUCTION RECORD I ( A registered Guernsey cow. i Bayville Socute Annette, owned by McCoy Phthisic of Tyner, has completed an official HIS pro duction record, according to the American Guernsey Cattle Club at Peterborough, N.

His government drew criticism from many nations for its violent suppres sion of demonstrations. Ocean Highway Travel Increasing Spring weather and spring flowers were unusually late ar riving this season along the Ocean Hiway route, but both are here and both are being warm ly welcomed. Motorists are .driving south ward and northward along this coastal route this April in al most equal number; and the volume of ears on the highway suddenly has become much larg er with license plates seen on automobiles from many states. Along the highway itself are white and pink flowering dog wood. wisteria, wild azaleas, at amasco lilies and other flowers indigineous to the South Atlantic coast. On up the coast in such his toric and lovely towns as New Bern and Edenton the sure signs of spring are appearing in the beautiful gardens of gracious old homes.
