Young Couple - Meets Tragedy j Wednesday Nile , I Tragedy befell a young marnea couple frem this county Wednesday nigh: when the light car in which they were returning from a trip to FciUmcuth ran under the rear end! a fcrckcn-dcwn truck, which was! par-ted cn the highway without | lights. The occupants ct' the car.1 Mr. and Mrs. Frank McPherscn ot Route Three, this city, were bath Killed. The accident cccured about mid way between Deep Creek and South M:"s on the George Washington highway at 10 o'clock Wednesday night. The young couple, hastening to get home, were driving at a fair ly rapid rate of speed. The two occupants of the truck were asleep in the cab. waiting for someone to come to assist them in miking repairs. The car crashed into the rear end of the truck, which ajs loaded with cross-ties, and both Mr. and Mrs. McPherson were muti lated almost beyond recognition. McPherscn was killed instantly and his young wife, an expectant moth er. died a few minutes after being taken to King's Daughters Hospital in Portsmouth.

Begun as a CWA project and continuing | a.s a Federal Emergency Relief pro ject. the restoration is fairly well underway. The accompanying picture shows the recently completed log block j hcuses at the entrance. The entire area cf about 20 acres is to be in closed in a split log palisade, part cf which has already been complete.d Th? original fort and other build ings. all of legs, are under con struction inside the palisade. The restoration is designed to be true: to history and the log type archi- j tecture cf the period oommcmorat- j 3d. j Sir Waller Raleigh's third expedi tion to America planted a colony of 117 men. women and children on Roanoke Island in 1587. To be ex act. there were 91 men, 17 women and 9 children. In August of 15871 two children were born in the new] colony. In that month and that] year John White, accompanied by j 15 men, :ef? Roanoke Island to re-j turn to England for certain sup-! plies for the colony. He did not re turn until the latter part of August 1590. The colony had disappeared. Even the crude log huts that the colonists hda built had been burned or otherwise razed. The fate of that lost colony has never been re vealed. It was not until the year 1607 that the English made another attempt to revive the settlement of Roa noke Island. The expedition of 1607. under Capt. John Smith, en countered a severe storm ollf the North Carolina coast and was blown off its course, taking refuge within | the Virginia capes. Exploring the, inland waters of what is now Vir ginia, the expedition settled on Jamestown Island, on the James River. Jamestown survived and is historically the first permanent Eng lish settlement in America, altho the original settlements beginning with 1534 were on Roanoke Island, I now but a short motor ride over i paved roads and bridges from Eliz Jabeth City. DemocraticPrim 'yElection Is Only Three Weeks Off , With the Democratic primary but three weeks] offy the political situation in Pasquotank and the! Albemarle still is lacking in interest, and except forj a vera few county races and the two district races is about as tame as Democratic primary campaigns ever net in this section. W. T. Culpepper, Pasquotank's representative in the General As sembly last year, filed for relec ticn. He is opposed by F. Webb Williams cf Elizabeth City and Fiank Kitcheli of Weeksville. I Sheriff Charles Carmine is op | posed for reelection by J. M. Jen nings of the Newland road. Dr. Isaiah Fc-aring is opposed | for refection as coroner by J. B. Fere bee cf Elizabeth City. J. C. Spence. Sr., register cf deeds. W, W. Cehoon, prosecuting : attorney. C. C. Pritchard. county auditor, and N. Elton Aydlett. Clerk cf Superior Court, are unop posed for reelection to their re spective offices. \V. C. Morse, Jr.. trial justice of Fasquctank. is opposed for re election ty Jack W. Jennette. Eliz abeth City attorney, and Eugene S. Scott. Two members from Elizabeth City township will be named to j the board c-f county commissioners. (Those seeking the two offices arc | W. T. Love, incumbent, Noah Bur j foot, president of the Pasquotank Hosiery Company, J. T. Williams, fformer member of the board, and W. E. Dunstan. i E. P. CartwTight, member of the | board of commissioners from Mt. Hermon township, is opposed for re flection by C. A. Ownley. J. H. Perry of Nixonton township i is unopposed for rejection to the j county board, as is W. L. Thomp jscn of Salem township. From Pro . videncc township two candidates are (seeking a place on the board. They 'are G. C. Jennings, incumbent and G. C .Temple. W. O. Ethendge, chairman of the | county board of commissioners, is I opposed for reelection to the board : by A. L. Whitney of Newland tewn I ship. | For the ccunty board of educa tion. where two offices are to be | filled, there are three candidates. | They are A. W. Stanton, incum bent, of Nixonton township, S.

Fifty or sixty members met, in response to a notice of the meet ing. No minutes of the previous meeting were rer.d and fully two thirds of these present were unfami liar with the temporary set up. At the opening of the meeting Dr. Mora S. Bulla sprang to his feet and made a motion that the temporary organ ization be continued for the rest of the year, indicating only D. Walter Harris, Jr. as chairman and Harry W. Bundy as secretary. The vote was put without any discussion and; everybody, except one voted ayej without knowing for whem they j were voting or what it was all about. r A Firs; Ward Democratic precinct I meeting under the aegis of No. j 965-10 Sawyer couldn't have done aj neater piece cf log rolling. And then, to add to the confusion,; after the group had elected Mr.; Harris as chairman, upon motion of, W. B. Foreman. P. H. Williams was, given -a vote to take the chair and. preside at the meeting, leaving the duly elected chairman to occupy the position of a capon at a hen party. ( The one dissenting vote cast onj the ?'ajrigin:.1. ballot was that c1. | Keith JBaunders. He explained his | vote by saying that minutes of the previous meeting had not been read, | that .few of those present were, familiar with the original set up and, that the membership of the club was due the courtesy of knowing who tlfcy were voting for. The group was acting without by laws and a committee on by-laws j onsigttai of Harry' w- Bundy, jErnest H. Jones. W. B. Foreman and J. Haywood Duke was appoint-1 ed to draft the by-laws. When the by-laws are drafted there will be another meeting. The Rev. J. L. Carrick. pastor of the Bla.ek.well Memorial Baptist Church, who has played a conspicu ous pail in the organization of the new club, served nctice by proxy at the meeting Monday night that he could not serve on the board cf directors. It was explained that Dr. Carick is aligned with the ec clesiastical forces opposed to danc ing. to Sunday baseball and Sun j (Continiffed on Page Three) <rr Anrv ^ 6 . t ^ oJheSAUK CUQK **"> TUZ SODA JCQKE.G WOULD PUT ANY NUDISTS ON BODIE ISLAND "This nudist fad is getting a l">t of newspaper space," said the Scda Jerker. "and first thing you know somebody will be trying to start a nudist colony at Nags Head." "That wculd bo like carrying coals to Newcastle," replied the Bank 1 Clerk" Most cf the young bucks who spend their summer vacations at Nags Head wear nothing but shorts for surf bathing and sun bathing. .And the girls wear these syncopated sun-back effects that leave nothing at all to the imagination. The a mount of covering that camouflages l the body of the average Nags Head; I bather is almost negligible. Nudism ' at Nags Head would hardly excite ! anybody." j "Well, just what do you think of i this nudist business, anyway?" ask jed Scda Jerker. | "Personally. I don't think much i of it," said the Bank Clerk. "Mind J you. I put a little emphasis on 'pcr jsonally.' I haven't enough pride in j my anatomy to join a nudist cult and expose my bandy legs, my J paunch and my hirsutorufous torso i to the gaze of a mixed com pany. I have found that on the beaches I can get all the sunburn and tan I can take thru a cotton shirt and cotton shorts. And. it's my j observation that a lot of these folks ; who are so nutty about getting ultra i violet rays in hopes of increasing ! their resistance to disease and pro ; longing tiheir lives, would have a i hard time explaining the necessity j for any prolongation of their lives. I "Nudism as practiced in Europe in recent years, and which Ameri icans are beginning to go in for is. jl suspect, a reversion to plum old primitive body worship. And it has certain definite merits to commend it. It is a fact that the wearing of cicthing by civilized men has re sulted in much indifference upon the part of the average man, to his physique. Hs becomes stoop-should ered, pot-gutted and tolerates flabby j muscles because he can rely upon I the clothes he wears to cover up his defects. If all men?and women? j could be made to strip stark naked ; and parade among their fellows, j there would be a general straighten ing cf shoulders, expansion of j chests, sucking in of abdominal pro tuberances and a sudden lively inter- | est in calisthenics and gymnastics. I We have so long concealed our ana- j tomical ugliness under much cloth ing until .we have become indifferent [ to our unshnpeliness -and careless I of our physical culture. But the I trouble with these nudist cults is, J they are mostly made up of athletic young and middle-aged bucks and buckarinos who have no apologies to make ifor their physical develop ment. As I said at the outset, I haven't enough pride in my anatomy to expose it to the gaze of a mixed company: about the nearest I would venture into nudism would be to join a bathing party in the nude on a cloudy night. I<wouldn't even risk star light." | "Do you reckon anybody will start this nudist fad at Nags Head this summer?" pursued the Soda Jcrkcr. "If we are going to have anything like that on our coast, I would say that a more appropriate place for it would be Bodie Island," replied the Bank Clerk. 85 per cent of all people-have de fective vision.

SAUNDERS, editor of The Independent will address the Georgia Press Association at its annual meeting at Savannah, Ga? in June. The convention dates are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 21, 22 and 23. Milton L. Fleetwood, of Cartersville, Ga., a native of Per quimans County is president of the i Georgia press and it was thru himl that the invitation was extended to! the Elizabeth City editor. Editor i Saunders has addressed the Okla-1 homa Press Association and thej Alabama Press Association in recent years. In Oklahoma they wanted' to lynch him; in Alabama he was] given a cordial ovation. OUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS OF FIRST CONCERN "Plain people living in this age of invention find them selves in imminent danger of being overwhelmed by the pressure of a vast mess of knowledge that they can not understand or assimilate," \Y. 0. Saunders told an audience of more than 220, speaking in the auditorium of the Chris tian Church on Parsonage St., Sunday morning. "The problems of cur fathers were relatively few," continued the edi tor; "they had little communication! with the outside world; their inter-' ests were largely 'family and neigh bourhood interests. To-day cheap newsprint paper, fast printing press es, the telegraph, the telephone, the, radio, the cinema and fast automo-j biles and fast roads have enlarged! our horizon to a bewildering extent.! The average mind that would seri ously attempt to comprehend the confusing hodge-podge of news, cdi-1 tonal opinion, propaganda, radio; audition and pictorial presentations with which it is daily deluged, would run the risk of lunacy. "But fortunately lor us, 11 we; do not make the confusion of many things divert us from these few j things we do know, a. little straight; thinking is sufficient to enable usj to thread our way thru this bewild-l ering maze of modern things. After! all, more important to the individual! than the abstractions of money, poli-! ;tieal economy, international rela tions and technology, are a few! simple rules by which we may de- i finitely shape our lives for good, ij would emphasize, among these ; simple virtues, cleanliness and good I manners. I "And when I speak of cleanliness, I mean mental as well as bodily . cleanliness. No normal man or wo-j man would tbe content with ditry ( hands, a dirty 'face and dirty and! harmful thinking and guard against' I unclean minds as we guard against | [unclean bodies. And then goodj 'manners, good behavior! The simplei practice of kind, gentle, tolerant, j relations with our families andj neighbours will effectually brighten your life -and the lives of all with whom you come in contact, and j move a.ll who knows you to lay! flowers on your grave when you die. "I beg of you not to be overwhelm ed by the multiplicity of arguments that encompass you in this fast and I bewildering age. I commend to you a serious reading of the eighth verse found in the sixth chapter of j Micah: 'And what doth the Lordj require of thee, but to do justly, love ( mercy, and to walk humbly with' thy God'." | Editor Saunders was introduced by | the pastor, Rev. W, O. Henderson, j The Christian Church Sunday school j has an enrollment of 229 members; j 221 of those enrolled were present ! last Sunday and of this number 1991 were recorded on time. " ' May Be Reason They're Called Odd Fellows Most of the conventions J that Elizabeth City has enter tained in recent years appar ently have been held chiefly for pleasure and joviality, but Elizabeth City is to see a con vention next week which promises to be about 80 per cent business and 20 per cent pleasure. This is the 91st session of the North Carolina Grand Ixxlge of Odd Fellows. Mcst conventions which come here are featured by dances, parties, boat trips, fish fries and other forms of entertainment. There are only two entertainment features on the two day program of the Odd Fellows' convention, and these hold forth no promise of any great conviviality. The program follows: May 15. at 2:30, opening session, appointment of committees, busi ness session. 5:30 p. m. Fish Fry at Chantilly Beach. I 7 p. m. Reception :by Rebekahs at the Virginia Dare Hotel. 7:30 p. m. Joint memorial serv ice. 8:30 p. m.

METALLIC STREET SIGN | Because the wooden street signs which heretofore have appeared on' a telephone pcle at the intersection of Main and Road Streets, the cross-' roads df Elizabeth City, has proven j to be wholly unsatisfactory and in- J adequate, a metallic street sign of > the most modern type was placed at j (that intersection this week. !

Camden County Boards Ask For An Official Investigation Of County's Welfare Officer Mrs. 0. N. Marshall, wife of Baptist Minis ter, Subject of Sensational Resolution Adopted at Joint Meeting of County Com missioners and Board of Education When two groups as conservative and easy-go ing as the Board of Education and the Board of County Commissioners of Camden County adopt re solutions voicing condemnation of a woman, and especially if that woman be the wife of a Baptist minister in the county, that is news. News was made in Camden Monday. The resolution, which was adopted unanimously by the two boards meeting separately, read: "Whereas, complaints hare raeched this Board on various oc casions from all sections of this County that Mrs. Marshall, the present party in charge of Federal Welfare Relief and C. W. A. work in this County, has acted arbitrar ily, without sufficient investiga tion, and in an unfair and not impartial manner in the discharge of her official duties, and, "Whereas, after an investigation by the members cf this Board they are of the opinion that in many instances the complaints are well founded; and, "Whereas, this Board has met with very little cooperation from Mrs. Marshall, all of which tends to destroy the good which might be accomplished by the Federal appropriations, it is, therefore, re solved: "The proper Federal Authorities be, and they hereby are, requested to conduct an investigation into the affairs of this office in this Ccunty, and that Mrs. Marshall be, if their investigation leads to the same conclusion as ours, re placed by some person or persons mere in sympathy with the pur poses and spirit of the Federal Aids so graciously granted this County." A copy of the resolution is being forwarded to Harry L. Hopkins, who was National Administrator for the CWA. This step was taken only after a Camden delegation had ask ed for a conference with State Ad ministrator Mrs. Thomas O'Berry and had been refused this consider ation. There is no intimation that there has teen ar.y graft or anything of the sort in the administration of CWA funds in Camden County, but a large number of the people in the county complain that Mrs. Marshall has acted too arbitrarily in numer ous matters, has been too partial to certain persons and certain sections of the county while others have been neglected, and has failed to cooper ate with governing bodies of the county. Mrs. Marshall is the wife of Rev. O. N. Marshall, pastor of Sawyer's Creek Baptist Church. She was air pointed Welfare Agent for the coun ty in 1932 and, by reason a' hold ing that oilicc, became county ad ministrator cf the CWA funds. U. D. C. Succeeds Where Lots Of Others Faded Doing what no other organization, however potent, has been able to do before, the D. H. Hill Chapter of the United Daughters of the Con federacy succeeded in inducing Gov ernor Ehringhaus to deliver an ad dress in his home town for the first time since he entered the Executive Mansion in January, 1933. The oc casion was the celebration of Con federate Memorial Day in Elizabeth City yesterday. The exercises, were scheduled to begin .at 2:00 o'clock and to last for only an hour, during which time the stores were closed. Hundreds o; school children from the three white schools of the city marched to the courthouse green to take part in the program. The local Boy Scouts, 100 or more strong, were cn hand in uniform. The exercises were held on a platform that had been erected on the east side of the courthouse. The invocation was given by Rev. II. I. Glass, pastor of the First Methodist Church, following whicn ??Carolina'' was sung by all. A pageant was staged at 'he monument by the children fro.n tiiree or four grammar grade rooms. This pageant was under the direc tion of three teachers. Mte Ha*tie Harney. Mrs. U L" Skinner and Miss Eiioabtth Nash. The welcome to the Governor (.Continued on Page Six)
