First House Nc,\'t Currituck Bridge lady of the Jewish race She was born in a foreign country, and she and her husband by hard work have made many sacrifices and sent forth an able group of children who have made their mark in the world In cidentally, Mr_ and Mrs. Shulman have accumulated some considerable property. Within the past few months Mrs. Shulman has learned to write, in order that .slie might keep in clo-er touch with her .scat tered family 'Mrs. Shulman and her husband run a small store They are peo ple of forcig.L biith, and see no harm in selling beer and wine. The law gives tliem license to sell beer and wine Naturally they attract a considerable number of men to their beer counter, and the coming of the WPA forces greatly increased, the business of Mrs. Shulman. Mrs. Shuhnan also runs a rooming house, and if a couple should come for lodging for the night, it is not Mrs. Shulman s province to go into gen ealogy or to consult marriage re cords in distant counties or states. Knowing that Mrs. Shulman has a big trade among the WPA men. and being almost only just across tlio road from the colored ‘•Califor nia" settlement, some of the loose colored women have come within hailing distance of Mrs. Shulman's house to ..ttract some of her cust omers on pay day The circumstan ces. no doubt much against the wishes of the owners, have created some comment Complaints have been made to the officers, by citi zens who through prejudice or may be for other reasons do not want Mrs. Sliulman in business on their street. A recent influx and increase a- njong the WPA forces brought more business to her store Among these men are some who are not very fas tidious about their women. Tliey had heard that somewhere in the neighborhood Mrs. Shulman lived, women might be found for a price. They did not know if that meant east, west, north or south. They were in the category of a Dare County boy who might gK. to Nor- ' folk, and be directed to Ea.st Main ' Stre t for feminine companionship. He might go, and he might get in the wrong house. But the beer counter, being a ^lUbllc place, be comes a landmark, and a .symbol, and its name is used in many ways, regardless of the purity ot the own er, the manager or the barmaid. Having chosen to run a public business that recruits its trade from among iTie wine bibbers and beer guzzlers, it is somewhat amazing that Mrs. Shulman or her children should become offendtd at the fol lowing Inoffensive 'words that hap pened in this paper In connection with the trial of a WPA man for entering a house. "Tucker had been wandering a- round town with a number of fel lows from the WPA camp. They decided to get drunk. They kept .sampling Mrs. Shulman’s beer and wine, and what not. They were looking for strange women who were supposed to hang out around Mrs. Shulman’s.

Manteo, N. C. Now when this reference Is care fully analyzed it will be seen, there are no charges against the purity of Mrs. Shulman: no inference that anyone xpected to find an immoral women in her house; no suggestion that Mrs. Shulman has anything but the best of intentions, and no evidence that this paper wanted to take a dig at Mrs Shulman. The foregohig is not printed as an apology in any sense. There has been nothing said for which to apol ogize. Tliere has been no desire to wound the feelings of any member of the Shulman family for which we have the best of wishes, and good will. It Is simply to show, how eas ily, a person maj^ easily mistake even the printed ■word and how careful one must be in what Is wrlt- Iten to offend no one. To offend •no one in writing for a paper, seems I impossible. We hope Mrs. Shul- Unan can read this over carefully i and feel better about it. We are leonfident that in no manner has .it caused her to lose good will or prestige in her business, and maybe i it will make her be always careful about the management of her busi ness in th face of hostile or pre judiced neighbors.

Raleigh at torney, who is at the licacl of the trjiltcd Dry Forces in North Carolina, spsak on "A Christ ian’s Relationship to Strong Drink." During his discourse. Mr. Burgess cited instances of liquor’s devastating effect on the home relationship, property, and on the human body. Mr. Burgess has delivered addresses on this subject for a period of two years and in coming to Dare last Sun day completed a tour of the State having spoken previously in every county except Dare. Among the many stories told to me from people from all parts of the world, none surpasses in ro- manoe. color or entrancement that related to me by Chico Sollas. fam iliarly known to many Manteo peo ple for his exploits In the boxing ring for the Camp Eustis Boxing team; and certainly one of tlie fin est and most inspiring young men it has been my good fortune to know. By way of explanation, Mr. Sollas ••’ill present his story in In stallments, and each succeeding one sliould develop Incre.tsed interest. "It is wltli deep regret that I could not have written this short, but interesting story about my be loved country and native home sooner,” Sollas begins his storj' "However, being pursuaded by sev eral boys in the camp, I am about to tell you the Interesting and ro mantic things about the Republic of Panama and the Panama Canal. First of all, Panama like other tropical countries, is well loca.ted In a remote region surrounded by trop ical palms and the lovely and state ly coconut trees of which the na tives and Indians are very fond This lovely County of Dare reminds me somewhat of my home: being so peaceful and quiet. Tlierefore I sit do’wn in solemn silence while concentrating on various phases that will be of Interest to the many readers of this supe.rb newspaper. “Going on with my story, Pana ma City is 47 miles from tlio Canal Zone which was built by the United Scales and near to the Panama Railroad Company, also built by the American government in 1917, it be ing the only one of Its kind in the countrj’. Cristobal, near Panama City, is occupied mostly by Ameri cans and employees of the Panama Canal. Bordering Cristobal we come to Colon, property of the Pan- amaians and most interesting of any city in the .small republic. Colon has a population of about 20,000 people; most of whom are from every part of the world. However, the majority are well-to-do Indians from the Islands of San Bias, in addition to otlier citizens of Pana ma proper. In passing through the streets of Panama on a short visit, you will see the Carametas or coaches as most Americans call them: all loaded down with tour ists that have disembarked from water and are viewing the sights. On each side of the street you will notice tile various cantinas or beer gardtns as they call them in Amer ica. Also the lovely decorated Spanish stores with their beautiful silks, perfumes and mercjiandise that has come from all parts of the world; the ever-frag.ant Roslta trlct of tliat town and from then on to Cnlle S Isy Bolivar you are viewing the offices of politicians and the many government offices. "Now let 11.-, hire .i C.iramet.i to take us ti.rough CrL-iobal, as it is only two miles from Colon, and see some of the American teiTilory. 'We first call out for the above convey ance, wlicreupon a Caballero polite ly takes of his sombrero and asks. "What do you want please?" (Que qulere Sonor?i We tell him, and after finding out his rates, start for the most modernlzrd and well equipped American hospital of Is thmus, or better known as the Col on liosplial wlilch is operated by the American government. After getting permjs.s!on from the attend ant In charge, we are shown through the hospital In it you see the beautiful Scnorilas dre.sscd in their white imlfonms with a Red Cross on their slilnlng. white caps; and the handsome Cnb.illeros with their white uniforms and stethoscopes a- round the neck trying to find some place to go and do something while they are doing nothing. "Well. I am about to cIo.se with this short story but promise to con as lilllc danger as possible to my- Isclf. But suddenly a while head, .and a long nose, surmounted wltli wrinkled but .sparkling eyes, flecked I with brown, and a hand gripping a I thigh were there before me mistily in the web. Then I looked upon the beautiful, enormous gem with awe and sympalliy Instead of hate and fear. In an liour I liad discovered another .-uch gem I really do not believe tills kind of .spider would sting anyway But I know tliat when people pass by our yard and sec the webs very prominent in the barberry liedge they will think, ,'what careless peo ple!" Thase who are in on the secret, if there are otliers besides my far away landlady and fellow roomers, will, however, pause and note the delicate structure of the web and the wonderful color of the abdomen and the legs, and forgot all about the poison sting, except that they will keep their hands to thcnuselvcs.

N. Vann, former representative and jAhoskle political leader, says Hert ford county has again last its op portunity to obtain its full share of benefits for roads and other state construction by not joining the •’ring " Following is Mr Vanns com money. Wc are again inviting tnc .same condillon. There Is always some little thing about the biggest of us and .some little meanness a- boiit the best of us. Governors arc no exception to the rule. We can not hope to obtain Hertford Coun ty’s full share when we have so vigorously and unfairly oppo.sed the party nominee. A.S a buolnc.s.s mailer, it would be far heller for us jusl for once In a period of twenty-elglit years to join the “ring" and enjoy some ot the blassings and benefits of this big and powerful "machine’ which Dr. McDonald told us w,as broken down, the gears worn, brakes bad, out of gas, and licaded for tlic dltcli. We took the Doctor too much to heart. To the contrarj’, the old machine is .still running In high. It's a good one and it will be running wlicn wc are lorgoltcn. We arc unable to fix it and we liaven’t the votes to wreck It. Underneath the long tall coat in the right hip pocket of the Honor able Clyde R. Hoey Is a commis sion from 270,000 voters to him to take charge of the old machine, repair the brakes, add a starter and make other noccs-sary adjustments, which he has the courage, exper ience and capacity to do. Just four more years to wo't for an opportunity to join the "ring". God give us patience and forgive our mistakes. JOE VANN m MISS CARTER’S CONDITION REMAINS UNCHANGED ■rm Miss Alice Carter.
