Visiting Flyers
Like Hospitality
Of Plymouth Folk
Come Here In Search of
Swimming; Mrs. T.
W. Earl Entertains
-®
Three Canadian flyers were visi
tors in Plymouth last week and
through the hospitality of Mrs. T. W.
Earl had a delightful time here. One
was a Canadian from Montreal, two
were Norwegians who trained at Lit
tle Norway near Toronto. They
were of the crew of 13 who fled in a
small boat from Norway to England,
arriving there after a long, dangerous
and arduous voyage and then went
to Canada to be trained as flyers.
Mrs. Earl, whose home formerly
was in Montreal, recognized the Ca
nadian uniform and stopped the fly
ers to extend greeting. She learned
that the Canadian knew many of her
friends in Montreal and lived in that
city less than two blocks from her
former home. Coming to Elizabeth
City recently they had been given
two days leave and seeing by the
map that Plymouth was on the
Roanoke River had come here in
search of good swimming. Mrs. Earl
took them to the beach, where they
enjoyed what they had come to
seek, and afterwards arranged some
dates for them. They left Plymouth
delighted with the hospitality they
found here.
