I Coaches Preacher Parker Exchange Student Is Rotary Club Speaker A charming Chowan College coed from Zaandam, Holland, spoke to the Warrenton Rotary Club on Tuesday night at the club's regular meeting at Hotel Warren. Aletje W. M. Van Aardenne, who attends Chowasi College, Murfreesboro, on a scholarship sponsored by Rotary District 771, related events of interest she has experienced since com ing to North Carolina for a year of study. Among the things that she does not like about America are the commercials on TV and the rock-and-roll music on the radio. At first, she said, she liked the music, but it has be come very tiresome. There are no commercials on the govern ment sponsored TV in Holland, she said, *nd defended these programs during a question period following her talk. Holland is the most crowded country in the world, Miss Aardenne said, and what struck her most was the room in America. She said that she was somewhat appalled at the waste la this country. She had also been led to believe from mag atfnes that she had read that everyone in Amsdtes was rich, relating that a favorite ex pression in Holland is that T wish I had a rich nncle in America." It was a little hard for her to get used to seeing people eat~ corn on the cob in this country as ha Holland core is only fed to swine, but ah* said that it was equally as hard for Americans to gat used to eating herrings raw as is done in Holland, where they are considered a MISS VAN AARDENNE Miss Aardenne, who speaks excellent English, said that schools in Holland were op erated from 8:30 until 4 o'clock six days in the week, but that two afternoons a week were used as holidays. She said that in order for a student to grad uate from high school in Hol land, he or she must have com pleted three languages, in ad dition to his or her own. She said that she studied English, OesgHM and French. She ex plained the reason for this is that Holland la a small country and that it was necessary to know several languages. She spoke of the tulips, a great industry in HollanA and said that the blooms were ytck ed In full bloom in order that the bulbs could develop prop erly, as sale of bulbs was the U) and Jimmie Webb, received engraved penholders contain ing a statuette of a basketball player. Each player received a statuette of a basketball player engraved with his name and the season of play. The engraving was done by A. C. Fair, local jeweler, as a trib ute to the coaches and players. The presentation of awards followed a women's basketball game in which the teachers proved no match for the par- j ents. Actually it was more j ! comedy than basketball, as many comic stunts were pull ed by players during the game, such as having three boys dressed as girls with blond wigs enter the game at one point, the using of a catalogue as a?rules?book, the placing' of a ladder under the basket, and other monkeyshines. It was anything for a laugh, but the teachers were downed in spite of this. During the intermission of both the men's and women's games, spectators got an o{> portunity to see basketball players of the future as Coach Bud Gaston fielded boys and girls teams from the Nathaniel Macon School at Macon. Con siderable talent was indicated in spite of a lack of practice on the part of the young peo ple. A1 Mustian and William Thompson wree the referees for all the games. The men teachers and the men parents early indicated that they came out to play basketball with no foolishness. The teachers had tn dip intn The school board for one of its players A. C.

In other action before the board, the commissioners ap propriated the sum of $400 for treating the Health Department for termites. Dr. W. Burns Jones, Health Director, told the commissioners that termites were causing considerable dam age to the health building and that he had received a bid from the Orkin Company in the amount of $400 for their elimination. He said that the Health Department had a bal ance of some $250 in its main tenance fund that could be used for this purpose. The $150 difference was ordered charged to the emcrgepccy fund. Hope that the State Highway Department would hardsurface I road leading to fttntew Cemetery from highway sur plus . funds was killed when a letter from the department was read stating that the road did not qualify (or such funds. The department said that tha road would have to be put the county's priority and paved with funds allocated to the county. The commissioners received another example of an un planned sub-division on Kerr Lake, when John Piland of Raleigh appeared to request that the county ask the State Highway Commissioners' to take streets in the Kimball Landing subdivision into the county system. He said that while only 40 feet had been provided for street right-of-ways in the development, that property owners had agreed to cut aft enough of their lots to give a 50-foot right-of-way. Piland was told that the commissioners had an appoint ment with District Engineer Roger Dowtin to inspect near by Rose Hill Development? where right-of-ways were too narrow?on Thursday and that they would inspect the Kimball Landing development at that time.
