I MARCH 21. 1940 NO. 10 Southern Albemarle’s Opportuniy » Never was there a greater opportunity to do work, than now lies before the Southern, Albemarle Association. It has! been saddled with a few more j handicaps than it had before, i by reason of the waters mud died by the Northern Albe-! marie Association (Greater), but more’s the credit to it. The secret of the success of the Southern Albemarle As sociation lies in its unselfish union of four small counties to arouse interest and sup port for projects guaranteed in the basic law of the state. Each county’s interests were. similar. The amount of ex penditure asked, was reason able. When a region not having any roads worth speaking of sets out to ask for some two million dollars to be spent in a period of ten years, there is nothing unreasonable about it. But just let them tie on seven other counties and hang on projects to their tails like an oil drum hanging to a fice dog, and we will get nowhere. Instead of asking for two mil lions, the highway commis sion is asked to spend five mil lions in half the time, and every time they see us com ing, they will run like a ban tam hen from a Rhode Island Red rooster, and squeeze through a rat hole, rather than face us. We wish our neighbors good luck, but like anything else, families can grow so big they have a hard time getting along. To our mind the best policy is to be good friends, visit now and then; help when we can, but not attempt to move in with each other too fast, before our house is en larged. We can enlarge our section and make it more prosperous by building the roads the state says we shall have, but has neglected so far to build. Right now we have about all we can do hoeing the grit home with our own little sardine can on our tail, that we can’t see how we can drag a gasoilne drum along. Cood Fish Dealers The fish house, John J. Hansen of New York, folded up Saturday, leaving a lot of | . checks in this section that are no good, and holding a lot of i fish from North Carolina which will doubtless be lost. Some of our finest citizens "lost money. Anjif a poor time -to lose it. * Had the fishermen taken our advice sometime ago, arid shipped their fish to firms that advertise in this newspaper, they would not have lost by the Hansen failure. There are many good firms who don’t advertise in this paper, but the odds are against a frm who is too tight, or too ashamed of his name to sup port the home newspaper. Hence a safe bet for the fish erman is to ship to those firms that advertise. Look over our list, and you will find npmes that represent the best a fishern m can expect on the markets. Then give them your patronage. Power Back Home A t ofijeuiizb the North Carolina coast towns mto a unit for the develop ment of our waterways, seems to us quite in order. In union there is strength, and it is quite unfair to the Con gressmen and Senators to ex pect them to do everything, -when other sections are strongly organized and lobby ing for projects of advantage. If every town and village -ihat wants harbor improve ments in this state, would join the movement, it would have i a wonderful effect, not only from a standpoint of efficien cy, but from an advertising viewpoint. There’s Merit In It I m ! The demand of leaders in' this section for a highway 1 Commissioner from one of the ! four counties of Tyrrell, Dare,! Washington or Hyde, seems I to meet ” r :th general approval I in this section. The Roanoke! Beacon endorses the idea, i Even Editor Herbert Peele | endorses the plan, in event! somebody dies, other than the I commissioner from the Roan- i oke Chowan section. Thej Northern Albemarle Associa-' tion hasn’t endorsed the idea, and its eventual failure to do so, and to work for it, will peradventure result in its un doing. Let Credit Be Given Where Credit Is Due (Roanoke Beacon) | i Truly, the statement made last'' week by President Melvin R. Dan-!, dels of Manteo, concerning the ac- j com pi ishmen cs of the Southern A l -!' hem a tie Association, sounds herei as if it merits the approval of the u people of this section. The South ] ern Albemarle group for five year; ] has labored for the development j, of the section, and a number of j! Washington County people have ' put in some hard work in helping 1 ' to plan and put across the objec tives which have been achieved. To s ay that the entire list of ob jectives. roads and otherwise, has) been brought to fruition would hardly be true, but a great deal of progress has been made; and it is, | to say the least, a bit disconcerting ' to see another organization—with a name so similar that a great j many people will have difficulty in differentiating between them—step in and proclaim almost a parallel I list of objectives. It is more than ! disconcerting when the new group ‘ proceeds to claim credit for secur ing recognition of the road objec-i fives by the various gubernatorial! candidates. j This behig an election veer it as 1 not so difficult to secure the Drum-, ises of candidates to do something] about tlie road situation in this sec-! tion, but we firmly believe then;! when all the shouting has died! down it will still be up to the i Southern Albemarle Association to see that some of the promises are; kept. ; Another thing we believe is that'; if the Southern Albemarle is ever 1 going to get a highway commie- j sionership, it will come nearer be-1 ing through our own efforts than , through an organization largely! sponsored by interests in another | section; interests, incidentally, which have already foisted a bridge on us at a location selected over the ! vehement protests of the people it was supposed to serve, i We have no quarrel with the Greater Albemarle Association, and if it can put over its program, more power to it. But, from where we sit, it looks very much as if it has set out to capitalize on the i groundwork 1 already done by some ] very public-spirited folks in our own section; and, frankly it savors too much of an attempt to “muscle in” to suit us. It might be well for the Southern Albemarle Association to call a special meeting in the near future to check up on just where it stands .with reference to a number of mat .ters which should be given atten tion, particularly in this election i year. RURAL MERCHANT FINDS THREE IN ONE BANANA Arthur Brickhouse who operates a little store on the Fort Landing road about five miles out from Co- ] lumbia stated the other day that 1 he had found a three in one banana on a bunch he had bought for his j store. Two in one bananas are seen occasionally, but Tuesday was*] the first time he had ever seen a r three in one banana, Mr. Brick- ! house said.

V. LEWIS, M. D. District Health Officer | On the evening of March 7 a final j j examination was given colored] i teachers and other colored citizens iof the county, which followed a : ; regularly prescribed course of Red j i Cross first aid training conducted ! i by the. medical members of the dis trict. health department. Eleven l were present to take the final ex j amination. Each individual was' .'graded according to class work, 1 | group work, artificial respiration: jand the final examination. The | j grades made are considered very' | good, and each one passed by a! ; good margin. j The health department will begin I [a course in Red Cross first aid at I Gum Neck within the next week] or so. Pre-school examinations will be-1 gin in the county within the next j week, and it is hoped that each 1 c.nild beginning school next autumn t wiil be present for the examina- i tions. Notices wiil be given to I teachers and parents, advising the ' dates and hours of the examina- | tions. During the period of pre-school | examinations, tuberculin tests will \ be gi’-en to all high school pupils throughout the county, and such • tests will be followed by a tubercu- i lar clinic in the county during the ) summer by a clinician from the* North Carolina tubercular sana-) torium, in an attempt to find and control the disease. More people, die from tuberculosis between the' ages of fifteen and forty-five than ] from any other disease throughout lour country, and it will he greatly] appreciated if the parents of the county will cooperate in having j their children tuberculin tested. 1 There will be no charge for any of jthis sendee, and it is possible that, the lives of many of the young boys and girls of the county may be sav- j |ed by these efforts to be made in icontrolling the disease. No more! harm can come from the tuberculin jiest than would result from iniect- [ ing a drop of boiled v’ater under • the skin. The date of the clinic is | I not yet known, but the health de partment. has been advised that 'such a clinic will be held. and. of, ]course, due notice will be given to j those needing such an examination, | :and it will not be confined to school | children. SELECT QUALITY CHICKS j FOR REPLACEMENT ! ! When selecting chicks for re ! placement stock, con. Her quality ifirst and price last. Place vour order early for your chicks for next ;year’s flock, but before placing an ]order, investigate the breeding pro* 'gram of the breeder or hatchery ifrorn which you contemplate mak ing the purchase. Be sure your j chicks come from a healthy flock of good breeding for egg size, egg 'color, quick maturity and trueness jto type as well as high egg produc tion. It costs as much to raise cheap chicks as it does good ones and a few cents more per chick in vested at purchasing time pays good dividends during the laying season. A pullet of good breeding often lays 20 to 50 eggs more per year than ordinary ones and only two or three extra eggs per bird a year are needed to pay the differ ence in chick cost. In case sexed pullet chicks are purchggld, place only half as many as usual in a brooder house or they will become overcrowded by the time the cockerels are usually sold off for fryers. BANKRUPTCIES Bankruptcies among American farmers were at their lowest point in almost two decades during the 1939 fiscal year, showing a 21 per cent drop under the previous year. BROUGHTON PROMISES AID IN BRINGING ROADS AND FREE FERRIES (Continued from Page One) to an island (Barkers island) in another section, and I promise, if elected, to do everything within my power immediately to bring that to pass.” This last remark brought a strong round of applause from the crowd of men and women that filled the Dare County court house. Mr. Broughton made for himself a responsive audience when in his preface he paid high tribute to Congressman Jundsay C. Warren of the first district stating that “you have one of the greatest con gressmen in the United States from this first district and that he occu pies a position unsurpassed in Con THE TYRRELL TRIBUNE j gross.” Mr. Broughton also paid tribute jto the Roanoke Island Historical | association for the constructive ser vice rendered the state in the form jof the Lost Colony pageant. “No j section of the state has done so much to advertise our state as has ] Dare County,” he said, j Citing the first place rank cf North Carolina in labor, climate, soil, waterpower, schools, and tex tile, tobacco and furniture indus tries and paying tribute to the 'North Carolina leaders that have * given North Carolina first rank in :these instances, he concluded “I I want to see all the people join in i the parade cf progress of North ! Carolina, for I want to administer Ithe state in keeping with the tra dition and record from Aycock to the loved and Honorable Clyde R. i Hoey.” I Mr. Broughton was introduced by j Senator D. B. Fearing, who also :eulogized Mrs. Broughton as “a fine I woman to occupy the mansion.” i Representative Roy L. Davis, ! president of the Manteo Rotary I club, which sponsored the speak ling engagement in Manteo of Mr. I Broughton, presided, j Previous to • the speaking Mr. 1 I Broughton was guest of the Man-, |teo Rotary club at its weekly* ■ luncheon and made a few remarks , there. j —.-- i COLUMBIA PERSONALS ' Edward Reynolds and Fay Bate maii, students at E.
