Welding Class Provides
Unique Library Display
A display of various welds
and items that can be made
from scrap material is on
display at the Shepard-
Pruden Memorial Library
for the month of June.
The display consists of
various types of welds,
small metal articles such as
bugs, airplanes and bees
made from spark plugs,
balanceing acrobats, an all
metal aquarium, insulator
holders, candle holders and
flowers made from tin cans
as well as many other metal
items.
All the items from the
Chowan High School
welding class were supplied
by Emmett P. Jones who
has been at Chowan High
School for six years as in
structor of welding and
metal work.
Jones has been in the
trades all his life beginning
as a small boy in his father’s
woodworking and
blacksmith shop. He has
been in the welding field 45
years, welding pipe lines,
steel fabrication, steel and
plate work. He served 17
years as a certified aircraft
