A GOOD SIGN Evidently, with the expected fuel shortage, the North Carolina
state Highway Commission must expect a number of small foreign cars to take to
:the roads. The two and four cylinder autos will have no trouble reading the speed

Extension service and the
Perquimans County
Agricultural Extension
service with Mrs Paige
Underwood and Richard
Bryant assisting. .
The family lived in a
frame house in the nearby
community for more than 20
years and had always hoped
to find the house which, was
Just right for them.
It finally happened, "It
took looking at stacks and
s'- k of house plans," said
Mrs.' Chambers. Finally the

Warns Of
for "the revolution."
Robert Shelton, Imperial
Wizard of the Klan said
Saturday, at a buffet supper
at the Holiday Inn, that
Klansmen will "take over
shopping centers when the
revolution comes."
, Just what sort of
revolution is expected was
not explained. Everyone .

.The home has no den. The
Jlvingroom is the length of
the room; '
All rooms,; except the
office,' has a view of the
Little River. The bedrooms
of the home are large with
lots of window view. "We can
take advantage of the north
south breeze in the sum
mer," said Mrs. Chambers.
A unique feature of the
home is Its central vacum
system. This system

The central heating system

speakers, "There should be

place tonight," said Jones.
He added that white people
are "too complacent."
Klan members - can't do

should work together. The
Klan has done alot of good
work Jones said. ,
There is no telling what
condition North Carolina
would be in if it weren't for
the Klan."
"All klansmen must be
community leaders," said
Shelton.
Predicting a racial
revolution in the United
States soon, Shelton said,
"When it comes there will be
looting and bloodletting. The
. Klan should take over
shopping centers. The are
the best places to barricade
ourselves in case of a
takeover. And you have food,
clothes, and everything."
Hudgins suggested that the
news media, particularly the
Richmond News-Leader and
The Virginian-Pilot, take the
Klan's fears of Communist
world domination . more
seriously.
"Russia has 12 times the
striking power of the United
States," he said. "The

country as they have others.'
Yet the American people
couldn't care less."
Hudgins said that for years
the Klan has been trying to
warn Americans "of the
seriousness of the Com
munist threat."
He said the danger could
be especially pronounced in
Elizabeth City because
"more than half the
population of the United
States lives within 600 miles
of here."
Shelton criticized the
International Telephone &
Telegraph Co., General
Foods, and the Schlitz
Brewing Co. for turning
over key management
positions to blacks.
Most blacks, Jews,
Italians, welfare re
cipients, newspapers, and
television stations were
under constant at
tack by the Klan officials
as was the federal govern
ment, President Nixon,
former Presidents Johnson,
Eisenhower, and Kennedy,
Japanese industrialists, and
Klansmen who show a lack
of interest in the
organization.
Shelton urged greater
cooperation with the Klan
from white segregationists.

It is ironic that Ainsley
is owner and operating of
Gregory's 5 & 10 cent
store. Back in 1929
Ainsley made his first
purchase from Gregory's
store. It was a Jamp for
his family.
Then in 1937 he married
Doris Gregory, and in
1952 purchased Gregory's
store.
Ainsley has also
dabbled in real estate and
other ventures, and has
just worked hard all of his
life.
Politics is i another
interest df Ainsley's. He
was for many years the
chairman of the
Democratic party in
Perquimans.
Civic clubs take alot of
his time. "I'm always on
the go," he said.
He is a member of the
