For Holding Jaunt*
For motorists seeking out-of- |
the ordinary routes for holiday
iaunts of a day or longer. It Is
believed that Roanoke Island, at
last having broken the barrier of
Its circling sound, will prove most
attractive Not the least of Its
advantages Is Ita close proximity
to the finest fishing and hunting
?rounds to be found along the At
lantic Seaboard, where many hun- !
dreds of Northern sportsmen fore
gather ann-ially.
It has been suggeetad strongly j
here that the State Highway con- !

Aswrllim they art- victims of a
piece of work. indignant res
ident of Went Main si reel in the
area bounded oil t lie east by Dyer
and on the weal by the passenger
station, are protesting loudly and
long over the action of the City
Council Wednesday night In pass
ing an ordinance prohibiting park
ing in that area for longer than
five minutes.
Some of the enraged one* are
manifestim; symptoms regarded
as harbingers of that state in
which tiie victim foams at the
inoutli ak.J goes Into convulsions.
All sorts of acts of reprisal have
been threatened. With the possible
exception of premeditate^' mur
der. and Counciluien who had a
part in the passage of the ordi
nance are said to have shown a
tendency to run whenever" a res
ident of the street appeared ill the
I offing.
West Main street folks are say
ing that the Council took ven
geance on tliein because their lady
folks wouldn't ugree for the haud
jSonie elms on the street to be cut
i down, to permit widening In con
inectlon with the new street im
Iproveuient program. In the event
I tiie ordinance stands that long, it
is apparent that a delegation will
be on hand at the regular Couii
icii meeting on Monday night, June
7, to offer as emphatic a protest
as they can.
Not all residents of the area af
fected, however, are opposed to
the ordinance. Some declare it Is
a good thing, facilitating traillc
and serving as a measure of pro
tection of children, who have au
\ irresponsible way of dashing out
i from behind a parked car without
'bothering to see whether the
j street is clear. In general, these
j approving ones do uot own cars.
I Mayor McCabe and two mem
bers of the Council are quietly in
dulging in Belf-congraiulation
these days, as the tumult and
i shouting increase. The Mayor is
j glad. because he left the Wednes
day night seastorr before the parte
Ing ordinance was taken up, and
I therefore had no part in its pass
|age. Councllmeii Hughes and Da
vis voted against It. Also, there
Is evidence that Councilman i'. C.
ICohoon isn't at all sorry for the
situation which resulted from the
Mayor's leaving, and which placed
him in the chair an presiding offi
cer. Hence he couldn't vote eith
er way, and thus is escaping the
opprobrium which is being heaped
on the others.
In ofTering the ordinance. Coun
cilman Armstrong. Its "daddy,"
explained to the Council that the
street was entirely too narrow for
the heavy traffic it carried, and
that, in IiIh opinion, the only way
to meet the situation was to abol
ish parking, inasmuch as the peo
pie wouldn't consent to removal
of the offending trees. He added
that on numerous occasions he, as
a member of the fire depart tn"??i.
had been appalled over the immi
nence of tragedy when fire trucks,
speeding on their mission of set
vice, had narrowly escaped colli
sions with vehicles or pedestrians,
occasioned by parked cars block
ing the view of the truck driver,
or narrowing the driving space to
the danger point.

hope* of uu adjournment before

yund i hut date now that Congress
faces a real climax on farm legis
lation.
The McFudden-Pepper I. ranch

debated In the House. In both
propositions there's enough debate
to keep the Senate occupied for
Heveral weeks. The prohibition

and the general expectation now
in that he will leave Washington

The President knows that whlla
there Is much talk about adjourn

little In thw year of the long ses

a particular spur.
l*ust yeur, of course, the ses

were to be nominated. While R
Is true the congressional elections
would seem to be a good reason
for early adjustment bo as to glvjj

tion of conservative Democrate
and Kastern Republicans. If tk?
llaugen bill does get through the
House It will do by a close vote.
Should tho Haufen bill be offered
as a substitute for the two other
hills the Tlnchor and Aswell
hills the House may have to
w u i I till the Senate straightens
out the tangle und permits a com
promise In conference. At pres
ent It would appear tl?at whlla
there are not enough votes In the
Senate to override a Presidential
veto there are enough to assure
the passage of the llaugen bill
by the Senato If It ever should
get through the House.
The Democrats know the Preel
denllal veto Is coming and some
of them are talking of voting for
the bill so ns to place the situa
tion squarely before the White
House. Anyway, ther la a dfca
complication ahead for both Con
gress and the President and all
this t^kes time so both Houee
will he here in the middle of June
and perhaps even later.
