WHY THE PROCRASTINATION?
We are still of the opinion that a building of
some character is the most suitable way in which
to memorialize the deeds of the Pitt county sol
diers who participated in the late war. We care
not what is placed in this building so the names
of the boys are placed there and perpetuated.
This building can be a hospital, a gymnasium, a
library, a rest room, or what not, the main point
we are endeavoring to make is that a building
erected as a memorial is the right step to take.
If any better suggestion as to how to memorial
ize the deeds of our gallant sons has been, set
forth we have yet to hear of it. I
Notwithstanding the fact that the State of
Norh Carolina is gong to erec a memorial build
ing in Raleigh in wtrch the names of each coun-'
ty's soldiers are to b ; placed, we think that each
county should erect a memorial separate and
apart and of its own.
The citizens of this good county of ours owe it
to the brave boys who left their homes and went
across the seas to give their lives if needs be for
home and native land, to erect something tangi
ble in the way of a memorial and why there has
not been more interest taken in such a proposition
in the county is beyond our comprehension. If
11 f re is being anything done along this line, and
tLc re is a memorial organization in this county,
v i re in ignorance of it just at this time.
K'j sons fought in the late war more braver
than those from Pitt. Some today bear the marks
of that memorable conflict, scars tha will go with
them to their graves and shame upon us who re
mained at home if we do not show our gratitude,
our appreciation in placing before the coming
generation some evidence of our gratitude for
what they did for the freedom of the world.
We hope that the Pitt County Memorial Asso
ciation will take on new life and start again on
this memorial business and not stop until some-
thing is forthcoming. ' We can't see any reason
for procrastination.

Sergeant, Company A, 1st U. S.
Engineers.
For conspicuous gallantry In
action near Verdun, France, Oc
tober 9. 1918. Sersrt. Colver was
awarded the Distinguished Serv- :
ice Cross. Volunteering, with
two other soldiers, to locate ma
chine gun nests, Sergt. Colver
advanced on the hostile posi
tions to a point where he was
half surrounded by the nests,
which were in ambush. He killed
the gunner of one gun with a
captured German grenade and
then turned this gun on the other
nests, silencing all of them be
fore he returned to his platoon.
He was later killed in action.

ADVICE TO YOUNG LADY READERS
WHAT SAY THE ALDERMEN?
We see no reason why the city authorities al
low the parking of automobiles on Dickinson ave
nue and Evans street when they could be just as
easily parked on Fifth and Fourth strepts. nnH
tnus doing away with the crowded conditions in
tnat part 01 the city.
Evans street and Dickinson
narrow thoroughfares, in fact, too 'narrow, for
appearance sake, it nothing more, and when it
comes to cars being parked on both sides of these
streets it make a congestion of traffic there is no
excuse tor and we respectfully submit should be
stopped.
We believe that if the board of aldermen would
pass an ordinance making it a penalty to park a
car on either Dickinson avenue or Evans street
longer than twenty minutes at any one time dur
ing tne day it Would go a long way towards reliev
ing this congestion. It would accomplish one
purpose if not more: that is.
chance to cross the street if he so desires. Satur
days it is almost next to an impossibility to get
through the streets on account of the numerous
cars lined up on both sides of the street, and they
generally remain there for hours with few excep
tions. There is no reason why these cars, especially
those that the owners expect to remain idle for
some little time, not being parked on some other
streets than Dickinson avenue and Evans streets,
which are principal business thoroughf aerrses in
the city. We trust the city fathers will take this
question of the parking of cars in the city up at
their next meeting and pass some ordinance to
relieve the situation which for some time has
been the subject of adverse criticism. We be
lieve that if such action were taken, the board of
aldermen would receive the thanks of the entire
citizenship, those we mean who have the best in
terest oi tne city at heart and desire to see it go
forward instead of backward. What say the
board of aldermen?

you will De happy! Live tor yourselt and you will
be miserable! There never was an exception to
the rule, there never will be an exception.
Plan out your life on a big scale, whether you
are a farmers daughter, or a sheperdess among
the hills, or the flattered pet of a drawing room
filled with statuary and pictures and bric-a-brac.
Stop where you are and make a plan for your life
time. You cannot be satisfied with a life of
frivolity and giggle and indescretion. Trust the
world and it will cheat you if it does not destroy
you. The Redoubtable was the name of an en
emy's ship that Lord Nelson spared twice from
demolition, but that same ship afterward sent the
ball that killed him, and the world on which you
smile may aim at you its deadliest weapon.
Appreciate your mother while you have her. It
is the almpst universal testimony of young wo
men who have lost their mother that they did
not realize what she was to them until after her
exit from this life. Indeed, mother is in the ap
preciation of many a youncr ladv
The maternal inspection is often considered an
obstacle. Mother has so many notions about
which is proper and that which is improper. It
is astounding how mucr more many girls know
at eighteen than their mothers at forty-five.
