Reflections Rv Jack Greenwood 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. —R— 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. —R— 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. — R— 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. —It— "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.” —R— 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. __ JOAN DRAKE HOME Joan Drake of Berea college, Rena Kv.. was home for a few days over the week end to visit her parents.___ _ • READ the ( I assikieds i : FELLOWSHIP MEETtvr The Christian Women’?
