Poppy Sale Will Fie
Held Here Saturday
To Honor War Dead
Sale Sponsored by Woman’s
Auxiliary of Local Amer
ican Legion Post
- *
Poppy day will be observed in Ply
mouth and Washington County Sa
turday, May 29, by the wearing of
memorial poppies in honor of the
World War dead. The little flowers,
made in government hospitals by dis
abled veterans, will be sold by mem
bers of the local American Legion
Auxiliary, and all the funds realized
will be used to support the work of
the Legion and Auxiliary for the
welfare of disabled veteran^, their
families and families of the dead.
Mrs. Kathleen Spruill is chairman
of the local auxiliary's poppy sale,
and will have a number of other
members of the organization to as
sist her Saturday. There is no set
price for the poppy, but each person
is asked to pay whatever he can af
ford and wear the memorial poppy
in honor of the war dead,
In announcing the sale, Mrs.
Spruill writes:
“To America, facing disturbed
world conditions and struggles
against economic troubles, will come
next Saturday, a message of assur
ance and courage. It will come from
the men who gave their lives for
America when the country was fac
ing a warring enemy twenty years
ago.
“The message will be in such sim
ple form that everyone, even the
children, can understand. It will
come in the form of little red poppies
worn on the coat lapels. It will speak
of days when Americans were dying
for their country and will urge the
same spirit of courageous patriotism
in facing the dangers of today.
“The poppy is the flower that grew
in the shell-churned soil of the bat
tel front in Prance and Belgium, the
only touch of beauty surviving war's
destruction and the only floral tri
bute for the war dead. It became and
remained the symbol of the highest
patriotic sacrifice. On Poppy Day
each year, The American Legion and
Auxiliary bring it to us with its elo
quent message from the dead.
“Can anyone wear a poppv without
feeling a glow of pride in ..is coun
try? Can anyone see the poppies
blooming brightly on hundreds of
coats without knowing a surge of
confidence in America? Reminded by
the poppies, can anyone doubt that
the nation capable of such effort and
sacrifice twenty years ago, will be vic
torious over today's difficulties?
“Every American should wear a
poppy on Poppy Day and all America
should catch the poppy’s message.
“ ‘Remember the dead, aid the dis
abled and carry on for America.’ ”
Program Is Suggested
For Opening of Bridge
May Reenact Battle
Between ‘Albemarle’
And Wooden Ships
^Considered by Program Com
mittee at Meeting Here
Friday Afternoon
Reenactment of the Civil War bat
tle at Sandy Point by the United
States Nayy near the southern ter
minal of the new bridge was consid
ered likely as a paramount feature in
entertainment for the thousands who
will attend the celebration at the
opening of the Albemarle Sound
bridge August 25 by members of the
program committee in session here
last Friday afternoon.
This battle was historically import
ant for several reasons, according to
those at the committee meeting.
First, because it was the first time
in history that torpedoes were used
successfully; second, it marked the
end of the era of wooden ship build
ing in favor of steel vessels; and,
third, it marked the beginning of un
dersea warfare.
The committee also decided that
each county should offer a float in a
parade which will begin on the north
side and proceed across the bridge
to the south side. The floate are to be
facts of historical interest connected
with the counties. Chowan will pre
sent the Edenton tea party; Dare,
baptismal services of Virginia Dare;
Hyde, not decided; Pasquotanic, the
first school; Tyrrell, General John
ston Pettigrew; and Washington, the
Confederate ram, “Albemarle.”
Also in connection with the his
torical floats will be exhibits by in
dustries in the Albemarle region. The
floats will be restricted to portrayal
of natural resources of the section
or some historical event. Each float
may carry a plaque designating the
Arm sponsoring the exhibit.
Schedule of Events
The day’s events would be divided
as follows: 10 to 11:30 a. m., parade
of floats; 11:30 to 1:30, speaking;
1:30 to 2:30, lunch: 2:30 to 4:30,
naval battle; 4:30, boat racing and
other entertainment features to be
arranged by the entertainment com
mittees.

CHECKS COMING IN
_
A batch of 25 checks aggregat
ing the sum of $1,900, for farm
ers participating in the soil con
servation program, arrived last
week, and today nearly all of
them have been distributed, it
was learned from the office of
County Agent W. V. Hays today.
This makes a total of about
half of the 400 checks expected
on the 300 soil conservation con
tracts in Washington County. It
is believed the total amount of
payments due on the 300 con
tracts in this county will be about
$50,000.
250 Names Atltletl To
Registration Books;
129 At Precinct Here
—$—
Saturday Will Be Challenge
Day, With Few Expected
To Be Questioned
Indications today were that despite
the fact some registrars had not been
officially heard from, there were a
bout 250 new names added to the
registration books in Washington
County prior to the closing of the
books last Saturday.
Exceeding the number he predict
ed last week, W. E. Weede in Plym
outh added 129 names to his roll.
T. F. Davenport in Creswell added
about 40 new ones, while H. W. Tar
kenton in Lees Mills added about 30
and C. L. Everett, of Skinnersville,
has only about 20. W. L. Furbee at
Wenona added 5.
Saturday of this week is challenge
day, and it is believed not over 10
in the entire county will be ques
tioned as to their eligibility.
Two years ago in the Democratic
primary there were 2,020 votes cast,
but this year year it is believed not
over 1,500 will be cast due to lack of
interest and the fact that few can
didates have opposition.
Those names on the books now can
vote in the Democratic primary and
in the general election in November.
However, other names may be added
immediately prior to the general elec
tion in November, members of all
parties being eligible to vote at that
time.
Vaccination Clinics To
Be Held During June
By S. V. LEWIS, M. D.
District Health Officer
Beginning Saturday morning, May
28. there will be a vaccination clinic
held in the office of the Health De
partment each Saturday morning
through the month of June. These
clinics are being held for the pur
pose of vaccinating against typhoid
fever, diphtheria, and smallpox.
It is necessary that everyone 2
years old or older be vaccinated a
gainst typhoid fever at least every
three years. In order to acquire the
desired immunity against typhoid
fever, it is necessary to take three
doses of the serum about one week
apart.
All children from 6 months of age
to 6 years should be vaccinated
against diphtheria in the event they
have not already been vaccinated
against the disease.
Smallpox can be controlled only by
vaccination, and a successful vacci
nation against the disease is a sure
prevention. Everyone who has not
been successfully vaccinated against
the disease is advised to do so.
These vaccinations are free to all
citizens of Washington County. In
an effort to control these diseases,
the health department respectfully
requests everyone to take advantage
of the clinics.
A schedule for vaccination clinics
throughout Washington County will
be published in this paper within the
next two weeks.

Producers Will Start
Delivery Cucumbers
To Plant This Week
Manager Urges Harvest Be
fore Cucumbers Get
Too Large
Delivery of cucumbers to the C. C.
Lang & Son., Inc., plant here is ex
pected to be started by the week-end,
according to P. H. Roberts, jr., man
ager, who urges the growers to begin
harvesting immediately and pick the
cucumbers every day.
Recent heavy rains are believed to
added with other things to make a
bright outlook for the crop in this
section this season, and Mr. Roberts
emphasizes that a good profit can be
realized by the growers if they will
gather the crop regularly 'to insure
marketing of the small cucumbers,
for which there is a heavy demand.
"From experience,” says Mr. Rob
erts, “which has been tested by our
selves and many growers, picking
small cucumbers lessens the burden
on the vines and causes them to bear
and hold up longer, and, of course,
the No. 1 size pickles, being the high
est priced, reflects a better cash re
turn.'’
Growers are urged to help with this
problem and give cooperation in de
livering small pickles from this har
vest.
There are 620 acres of cucumbers
planted in the county this year. In
cluding the crop in surrounding coun
ties, over 700 acres have been plant
ed, the produce from which will be
delivered to the local plant.
Everything is in readiness at the
plant to receive the cucumbers. Em
ployed to aid in handling the pickling
operations this year are C. W. Din
kins, Clarence Spruill, Henry Gray
Mizelle and Loma Boyd.

the pretty displays. Mrs. Frances
M. Darden is in charge of the
show.

Continue 3 Months
Step Is Taken To Provide
Time for Recreation for
Indoor Workers
To give employers and employees
a half day holiday during the sum
mer months, the stores and business
houses in Plymouth, with the excep
tion of drug stores and a few others,
will close each Wednesday at 12
o'clock for the remainder of the day.
The first closing will take place next
Wednesday, June 1, and will con
tinue through June, July and August.
Beginning with the first Wednesday
in September the stores will again
remain open all day.
The merchants urge that the pa
trons of the local stores please co
operate by shopping and attending
to the business down-town on Wed
nesday morning before 12 o’clock, as
they will make every effort to deliver
merchandise and serve the customers
before closing.
This half-day closing is sponsored
by the Plymouth Merchants Associa
tion and it is believed that it will
reach some 30 stores and business
houses and will give a half day of
recreation to about 100 store owners
and employees.
Those employed in business houses
and stores believe that just this short
period of recreation will be very valu
able from a health standpoint

Is Regular Semi-Annual Pro
cedure To Make Repairs
And Inspections
The plant of the North Carolina
Pulp Company will close down on
June 10 for about a week for the
semi-annual repairing and inspection
that is necessary, according to L. J.
Meunier, jr., superintendent, who be
lieves everything will be in readiness
to run again in about a week
This closing is done about twice
every year so that adjustments can
be made and everything repaired and
put in first-class condition for the
continuous grind which is expected to
last until around next Christmas be
fore it closes again.
When operating at capacity, the
entire plant runs continuously with
out stop except for breakdowns and
temporary repairs. While the plant
is shut down everything will be gone
over carefully to eliminate stopping
between the stated periods.
It will not be necessary, it is be
lieved, to curtail employment very
much, as most of those who are
working now will be engaged in help
ing with the repair work.
The plant has been running regu
larly now for several months with
out stopping, three 8-hour shifts per
day being required to keep it in con
tinuous operation.

Irish Potatoes Are
Moving To Markets
—■$—
Seven carloads of irish potatoes
bound for the northern markets
passed through Mackeys this week,
one having been loaded at Creswell
and the other six loaded at Colum
bia. The first shipment was made
last Saturday, when three cars left
Columbia.
Many growers are anxious to dig
their potatoes, but the rainy weather
has held them up. It is hard to dig
the crop on account of the mud, al
though the rain is reported to be
benefiicial to th ecrop in general.
The potatoes grow too large when
they are left in the ground too long.
There are only about 500 acres in
Washington County this season, but
potatoes constitute an important
crop in Tyrrell County. Those that
are shipped from there must pass
through Washington County, via
Mackeys, on their way to market.
The price this week is ranging a
I'ound $2.50 per barrel here. This is
a fairly good price in consideration
of the fact that last year it was as
low as $1 per barrel, which results in
a big loss for the producer. Quota
tions on the New York market have
been as high as $3.50.
Pulp Firm Prefers
To Secure Wood
Supply at Farms
"The North Carolina Pulp Com
pany had rather depend upon the
farmers for its pulpwood supply,
if it could, than to hold large tim
ber tracts and stumpage rights,”
according to N. T. Barron, forestry
expert for the local concern.
"This would be cheaper for the
company, and it would mean more
money for the farmer. This could
be done with proper management
of forests, and there is no reason
why they cannot supply all the
wood needed for pulp as well as
other industries.
"Trees suited for lumber, poles,
piling or other valuable purposes
should be carefully saved and util
farmer could realize the most profit
out of his forest,” said Mr. Barron.

Plane Makes Forced

Occupants Not Hurt
Hampton, Va., Pilot Sets His
Ship Down Safely in Field
Near County Home
Fortunately, no one was injured
when an airplane piloted by Alec
Flythe, of Hampton, Va., made a
forced landing in a field near the
Washington County Home Sunday
morning a little before noon.
Mr. Flythe was flying his own ship
with his father, Roland Flythe, a
retired business man, and a Mr. Gib

on the motor broke while he was
flying low searching for the land

and take Mrs. Stanford on a flight

Mrs. Stanford and returned home.
The plane was unable to gain speed
enough to take off from the soft field,
and it was driven out on Highway
No. 97, where Patrolman Tom Brown
cleared the way ahead of it until it
could leave the ground.
Mrs. Stanford remarked that she
had promised to take a ride with

Biggest Extra V ote*
(Iff'er of Campaign
Is Now in Effect
Prizes Headed by $400 Cash;
Three Other Cash Awards
And Commissions
By The Campaign Manager
This issue of The Roanoke Beacon
carries the first published list of
those who have been nominated so
far as contestants for the big awards
offered in the expansion campaign.
There is still room for a few more
real hustlers and new nominations
will be welcomed.
There are a number of communi
ties in the territory covered by this
paper that are not as yet represent
ed, and this fact presents a golden
opportunity for some ‘'live-wire” in
any of these communities to get in
on the ground floor, while the race
is just getting started, and take a
commanding place in the list.
However, it is not enough to just
nominate yourself. The nomination
is but the first step, the starting
point. Anyone content to rest after
they have been nominated will not
get far in this campaign. Action, hon
est effort, and that alone can get re
sults.
Votes win prizes—subscriptions
mean votes. If your friends see that
you are doing your part, they will
jump in and help you pile up a win
ning vote total; if. however, they see
that you are unappreciative and are
expecting your friends to do it all,
they will throw their support else
where. It's up to you candidates. Do
your part, your friends will do theirs.
Biggest Extra Vote Offer
From the time of your nomination
through your first seven days of ac
tivity, you will get more votes on your
subscriptions than anytime later.
Here is the offer of bonus votes for
this period. For each and every $15
club of both old and new subscrip
tions turned into campaign head
quarters during this period, 200,000
extra or free votes will be given.
Here is what it means: lire regular
vote as shown on the front of the
receipt books amounts to 10,000 votes
—the extra votes under this $15 club
offer are at the rate of 20,000 extra
votes on each one-year subscription.
Tiiink of it! Twice as many free votes
on each one year subscription as reg
ular votes. Of course, bigger sub
scriptions count toward making up a
club—in other words, a “club" is $15
worth of subscriptions. They may be
new or old and for any length of
time from one to five years. Only a
little figuring is necessary to see that
the major awards will more than like
ly be won via the $15 “club" route.
Think it over! Be a club member.
There will be a substantial drop in
votes after first period ends. This is
done in fairness to those ambitious
ones who hustle out first and do the
work. Remember, at no time during
the remainder of the campaign will

Formal opening of Albemarle
Beach for the summer season will be
observed on Sunday, May 29, when
crowds are expected to visit the re
sort to view the many improvements
that have been made since the place
closed last year, as well as to enjoy
water sports.
New cottages have been erected so
that those who desire may rent one

the beach.
L. w. Our km, owner of the beach,
has prevailed on the State Highway

work the roads leading from Highway
No. 64 to the beach so that they will
be in good condition at all times,
thus assuring more traffic and more
