this wjek in our favorite afternoon daily
of general circulation in Northeastern
North Carolina, quotes the jurist as say
ing he is “just getting tired of all that
mess” caused by surfers. He will im
pose maximum fines of SSO and seizure
of surfboards for illegal surfing at Nags
Head.
He carried through on nis threat last
week when three Norfolk Va., teenagers
were brought before him. They were
fined SSO, plus sls costs of court and
$3 jail fees. This they probably were
able to obtain from their parents, there
fore not have to go to jail for 30 days.
The Jhing, however, that will appar
ently hurt the most is being relieved of
their surfboards for 30 days. This their
parents can’t help them with.
Judge Horner not only hit them
squarely jn the pocketbook he gave them
a healthy judicial blow in the surfboard.
And in so doing, the judge struck a lick
for safety and decency; relieved the trio
not only of a considerable amount of
cash but Jheir status symbol as well.

Captain Harry Ward of Winton was
her skipper from 1937 until his death
in 1955 when she was pulling up to three
wooden barges holding 90 cords each of
logs for Union Camp’s lumber and paper
operation at Franklin. More modern
steel barges can be made up into a tow
of six and are hauling two hundred cords
each. Union Camp now has a fleet of 24
barges..
Captain Ward’s son, Harry B. Ward,
Jr., who lives in Winton, is carrying on
the famijy tradition and is Supervisor of
River Operations for Union Camp as
well as captain of the Corinthia. When
Captain Ward is not on board, Walter
Evans, also of Winton, is skipper.
Union'Camp maintains barge yards,
landings where wood is collected and
loaded on barges, at Columbia on the
south side of the Albemarle Sound, near
the Edenton Municipal Airport on the
north si<Je of the Sound, and at Winton
far up the Chowan. A fourth yard is
now under construction at South Mills.
A typical itinerary for the Corinthia

water by Weyanoke where the Black
water and the Nottoway flow together
to form u the Chowan. By Wednesday
evening she has visited the yards and
distributed her empty barges. Thurs
day she is ready to leave Edenton for
her retort) up the river, stopping at Win
ton to pick up barges there. She’s back
in Franklin on Friday. Lately she has
been making as many as two trips a
week to show she’s still got plenty of
get-up-apd-go.
Corinthia’s future? There are fore
casts cf jtn increase in barge hauling on
the Choigii and its tributary streams.
The Codithia has more years ahead of
her enjoy being the senior craft

j -By BufT
My old Richmond, Ind., friend DeWitt
Cooper, sent me a copy of the Palladium-
Item which devoted a great deal of space
to the (funeral of Dan A. Mitrione. Mr.
Mitrione, a native of Richmond and U. S.
- Adviser in Montevidio, Uruguay, was mur
dered and his body buried in Richmond.
: And, incidentally, Friend Coop sent a note
to the Missus, saying: “It’s a dickens of a
way to spend your birthday—in a hospi
tal.”
► o
And talking about the hospital, the Missus
returned to Chowan Hospital Wednesday
i morning of this week. Due to being so
very weak, it is hoped several doses of
I glucose and hospital attention will enable
her to regain some of her strength. Any
way, here’s hoping!
o
At the hospital the Missus is a near
neighbor of Shorty Parkerson—just across
the hall. Shorty has been “boarding” at
the hospital for a few weeks now, but he
says he’s expecting to go home some time
- today (Thursday). He will have orders to
stay cooped up at heme, but he wants his
friends to know how much he would en
joy them calling to see him at home.
o
The folks who are obliged to park their
cars some distance from work these days
are somewhat puzzled. If the windows
are closed and it does not rain, a fellow
about roasts when getting in the car to go
to lunch. Then on the other hand, if the
windows are left open and it rains—well
some of us get a good bottom wetting.
Don’t know which is worse!
o
A person hears some (funny remarks
sometimes in a grocery store. The other
day I passed a fellow looking in the frozen
food department. ‘Tf my wife fed me on
that stuff,” he said, “I’d dam soon get a
divorce.”
o
Here’s one who had to miss the 60th
reunion of my high school class in York,
Pa., which was held Saturday night. But
if I could have been there, no matter how
much the gals used make-up, i could have
guessed all their ages within one or two
years. Anyway of the 85 in the class of
1910, only 35 are still alive and I doubt if
I could recognized many of them had I
been there.
o
Bud Amburn needs space for his newi,
so dat’s all this week.

er, Mrs. Rohrer is vice chairman of the
Republican Party in North Carolina.
On her first visit to Northeastern
North Carolina, Mrs. Rohrer was im- ,
pressed with the scenery as well as the
attitudes of the people she had met.
“With people like Ed Bass (Chowan
GOP chairman) working so hard l we
know considerable progress will be made
in the future,” she noted.
She predicted, also, that her party
would gain seats in the General Assem
bly as well as in the U. S. Congress.
The vice chairman said she is moving
around the state as raudi as time will
permit to take some of the leg-work off
Chairman Jim Holhouser of Boone.
And in the First District, she sees R,.
Frank Everett as having a “good chance”
in his bid to unseat Rep. Walter B.
Jones. And, she adds: “We hope to keep
our incumbents—Reps. Jonas, Broyhill,
Ruth and Mizelle.”
She pointed out that the GOP con
tinues to gain strength in the Piedmont.
In Forsyth County, for example, the Re
publicans hold every office except one,
she said.
The vice chairman is not talking about
candidates for governor. While Holhous
er and Jim Gardner are the most fre
quently mentioned, she feels other names
will move up following the November
election.
Returning to the value of the two-party
system in North Carolina, she pointed
to her own county. This is the first
time the Republicans have faced re-elec
tion and “now they have to answer” for
their administration. “This type situa
tion on the state level will make North
Carolina stronger,” she added.
