Ray Harrison may not be fum
ing, but he is, or was, plenty hot
under the collar.
In order to explain that the
Mountain View Memorial Park
would continue under the same
management and that there would
be no change in personnel, plan,
or maintenance of the property,
Ray ran a display ad in the April
2d edition of the NEWS. It seems
that some question had arose fol
lowing publication of the prelim
inary certificate of dissolution
which appeared as a legal notice
in four issues of the NEWS in
April. In the display ad Ray ex
plained that the legal notice was
necessary to comply with the state
laws in order to obtain a charter
for a non-profit corporation, and
that there would be no changes
in officers of the corporation and
the board of trustees or the care
of the cemetery.
The display ad had the desired
effect. It explained fully and ap
parently the folks understood.
Feeling satisfied that the folks
understood, Ray breezed into the
office and ordered that the legal
run again. I thought it was a
little strange but anything for
a customer. So we ran the legal
again, not knowing, of course, that
he meant the display ad which
explained the legal. Now if you're
one of those dozens of people who
have wondered about the cemetery
you don't need to worry any more.
And if you see that legal notice
in a future issue of the NEWS,
you will know that I’ve skipped
town but that Ray Harrison won’t
be far behind me. But at least
he hasn’t cut my throat—yet.

Who said history didn’t
change? All during my early
days of history in the lower
grades, high school, and college
I had always thought of the
early settlers at Roanoke
Island as being in constant
danger from the Indians. In my
mind I could picture a few of
the colonists working outside
the gates of Fort Raleigh while
their friends stood watch with
rifles and sword. Lurking just
around the corner were the red
men waiting to carry the group
off to “Croatan.”
Now comes a report by Arch
aeologist J. C. Harrington of
the park service, who supervised
the excavations of the fort in
1947 and 1948, that the fort was
built in 1585 not for protection
against the Indians but from
fear of attack from the sea by
Spanish forces. The earthworks
were erected to guard the ap
proaches from the sea rather
than from the land. Two en
trances to the fort are on the
land side.

Terry Cheek is concerned about
the physical condition of Dr. A.
E. Knoefel. When some one called
her last week to r.sk how she and
the measles wer • getting along,
she replied:
“I had measles in my mouth and
a ‘measles she' in my hip. Dr.
Knoefel gave ,ne the shot and
he is just about the sweetest per
son in the world. But there is one
thing that bothers me—my daddy
is just full of muscles, but 1 didn’t
see a one on Dr. Knoefel'.”
—R—
Who is the man. could be
called the world's meanest, who
is interferring with a budding
romance, maybe, by keeping a
certain young lady working late
at noon? Could be one of two
but no one seeras to be able to
put the bee on the right one.

Now it can be told. Last week
while Mayor G. L. Kirkpatrick
was the busiest John J. O’Connor
dashed in out of breath and in
formed him that I had just filed
for mayor. Taken by surprise and
thinking more of his business at
that moment than the election the
mayor exclaimed: “Well, 1 was
just talking to him a minute ago
and he didn’t say a word about
filing. Wonder why he didn't men
tion it?" All of this before he
realized that 1 lived way outside
of the town limits and couldn’t
even vote in *the town election.

"Bat. what’s this I hear about
ye joining up with the commun
ists? Be ye daft, man?”
"It’s the truth, Mike. I signed
up last week. The doctor told
me I had but ten days to live
and 'tis better one o’ thim com
w*
[
munists die than a good Irish
man.”

Back from Florida where they
spent the winter on their farm
near Tampa, Mr. and Mrs. J. M
Berg-thold report that they had
only four days of cloudy weather
during the time they were gt>r.c.
Just to prove that he kept busy
caring for their more than ou
orange and grapefruit trees, Mr
Bergthold brought to the
a limb on which was growing a
cluster of seven grapefruit, ne
kept them intact on the way home
bv using a box just big enough
to hold the lot. If that's a samp
Ie, the fruit grown around Tampa
is' all right. __
