Cars Collided at
Main Intersection
Satuday Morning
The intersection of Wilson and
Main streets in the heart of Farm
ville was an unfortunate meeting
place last Saturday morning at 5
o’clock for four young white men, en
route to their homes near Burgaw
from their work at the Ford Motor
company in Portsmouth, Va., and a
Granville county school teacher who,
accompanied by his wife, was en
route to the coast for a fishing trip.
Mrs. Laura Fesor of Stem, was
driving her husband’s car in Wilson
street, traveling east; the young men
were traveling northward on Main
street. The ^Fesor car rammed the
other one, hitting it amidships and
sending it careening against the post
in front of the Royal Grill. Before
coming to,rest, however, the car up
rooted a water hydrant, resulting in
a geyser two stories high which con
tinued unabated until Water Supt. W.
A. McAdams arrived and cut the cor
rect switch.
H. C. Wells was driving the car of
the boys, who told Policeman Carl
Tanner that they lost their way in
Farmville and were trying to get on
the right road. Tanner stated that
he noticed the car riding through
town several times and that he fol
lowed it for awhile.
Others in the car with Wells were
Tommie M. Rivenbank, Donald Ray
Herring and Clyde R. Partin. Her
ring sustained leg bruises. Partin’s
arm was fractured. The boys’ car
was badly damaged.
. Mr. Fesor is a professor in Stem
high school. ,

on Boy-Girl Relations. This sereis of
programs will be held at 7:30 each
Sunday night through Oct. 29.
In regards to this Institute, Prin
cipal Sam D. Bundy of the Farmville
school has this to say: “I heartily en
dorse the Christian Youth Institute
to be held in Walstonburg Oct. 8, 15,
22 and 29. I think it is a wise move
and shall try to get high school stu
dents from Farmville to attend.”
Principal J. R. Peeler of the Wal
stonburg sclfbol says: “. . . For a
long time I have seen the need for
teachings in these fields to our youth.
It seems to me that the church will
furnish the right atmosphere for this
teaching, and Mr. Johnny Gredne is
a well qualified teacher; therefore, I
heartily endorse the program as con
stituted.”

At The Rotarv Club
Community Service in Rotary was
stressed at the Jtotary club Tuesday
night in a program given by
Charlie Fitzgerald. Dr. Fitzgerald
presented as speaker for the evening
Dr. Fred West from Atlantic Chris
tian college in Wilson. Dr. West
stated that many of us are so husy
becoming specialized in individual
fields of endeavor that we know too
little about the country as a whole
and care too little about the commun
ity. This tendency to become irres
ponsible to a community, thinking of
only what we can get as individuals,
is contrary to basic principles, and
most of us are not aware how serious
it is becoming.
Every useful occupation affords
opportunity for unselfish service, if
we would but place emphasis upon
dignity and service for mankind.
In furthering the theme of Com
munity. Service* Dr. Fitzgerald pre
sented as his guests Police Chief L. T.
Lucas, Officers Joe Gregory and
Carl Tanner and State Highway Pa
trolman Ernest Guthrie, and he paid
tribute to these men as rendering real
community service,
