I He didn't fire the shot Jieard round the world. But in his way he taught the colonists how to shoot straighter then men from any other land straight jenough, in a twanging -.ballad of the hills, to "knock -a squirrel's eye out at 90 ;ieet." Old Grayback or , Silvertail, as some still call him, is in fact the gray 'squirrel, Sclurus "carolinensis. " He is a survivor of Civilizations and Indian Arrows alike, a leaping shadow and a rustle in the ' leaves of sylvan glade and 'suburban subdivision, an ;acrobatic daredevil, a ferazen beggar in city parks, and a brave defender in tthree top dramas. ' r ' But his place in life may "well be in the bullseye of 'American history, the ''National Geographic ' Society says. C SQUIRRELER's ;; aim .. " In the skirmishes of the Revolution, backwoodsmen with their long-barreled .' Kentucky squirrel rifles ' used to say that it took a Redcoat his weight in lead to j hit and kill an American, but '-Yankee bullets, about 90 to .the pound, found their i marks every time. British soldiers frequently ' found that such point-blank bragging was backed up by deadeye marksmanship, learned in a world where the day's food was often rifle !. won. . And the favorite target j. was the squirrel, fattened on acorns and weighing about a J pound, chattering and J chasing through the hard ; woods from Florida to J A CHANCE I What is compensatory education?

TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON, N.C. Tonite Thru Saturday WITH THESE CHARACTERS KAWALSKI WOULD HAVE MADE IT- Fatter Than 'Vanithing Point' I OOLEMnrOEtUS' There'$ Nothing They Won't Try.., Hertford, N. C, Thursday, June AN Canada. "Squirrelin"' meant the constant rifle practice that produced a country of sharpshooters. The seemingly awkwardly long squirrel rifle astonished new arrivals from Europe, and its accuracy is impressive today. When they weren't shooting squirrels through the eye, good shots bagged their trophies by "barking" them. The well-aimed ball slammed against the tree bark the squirrel was hugging, knocking the tiny victim to the ground, sen seless but untouched. As the land was cleared, squirrels frequently preferred feasting on new cornfields to up-and-down-the-tree foraging amid butternuts, hickories, white oaks, and hazelnuts. They soon were proclaimed pests i and thousands of hunters began collecting bounties. HUNTERS OR LIARS Bags of a hundred or more squirrels a day were reported so often that one skeptic commented, "Our pioneer forefathers were powerful hunters, powerful liars, or both." , Today thousands of squirrels are shot each year and hunters and squirrel lovers argue over whether the species are being threatened. One naturalist says, "Hunters rarely take more than 10 percent of the fall population, which is about one fourth of the number that will die before the winter young are born." A clue to Bushytail's future may be in another comment: THE GREATEST in THE WORLD FATHER'S DAY SUNDAY, JUNE 16th See our selection of rocbrs, recliners, and lounge chairs, hammocks and stands, chaise fcr.gcs, ' swings, smokers.

"THE ErCT FCH LCC3" 1214-1:74 6, 1974 "The old timer, whose nearest neighbor was five miles down the road with nothing but squirrels in between, is now replaced by the man who finds his squirrels ten miles down the road, with nothing but neighbors in between." The Law This Is By ROBERT E.LEK (Sponsored by The Lawyers of North Carolina) ORAL MORTGAGE Joe Jones owned a farm that was worth $50,000. Needing $2,000, he went to see Tom Tucker for the purposes of negotiating a loan for this amount. It was orally agreed, in the presence of several witnesses, that Jones should convey his farm to Tucker by an ordinary deed and that the delivered deed should stand as a mortgage to secure the loan of $2,000 and Jones should nave as much as three years to redeem the same. Jones executed and delivered the deed and got the loan of $2,000 on the basis of this agreement. Two years later Jones tendered to Tucker the $2,000, with interest, and requested the re-conveyance of his farm. Tucker refused to re-convey the farm. He had decided, subsequent to the making of the oral agreement, that he liked the farm and wanted to keep its ownership. Does Jones have a legal remedy?. No. Jones has conveyed to Tucker his farm by an absolute deed and Jones no longer has any rights or ownership in the farm. He has disposed, of his $50,000 farm for $2,000. E. EUGENE County Graduates "A guide to successful living includes a self that you can live with ; a cause to live for; and a faith to live by", E. Eugene Causby told the 113 College of the Albemarle graduates during commencement exercises Friday night. The assistant superin tendent for personnel relations and public affairs of the State Department of Public Instruction in Raleigh said the future is a challenge. "It won't be easy and you will probably have some failures." "Failure and adversity can bring the best out in good people," the speaker added. Dr. S.

The supplemental security income program has established a national income floor for people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over, or blind, or disabled. Checks are delivered in the first week of every month. It's a good idea to sign your supplemental security income check in front of the person who will cash it. If you sign a check and then lose it, it could be cashed by anyone who finds it. ' The Elizabeth City social security office is at 111 Jordan Plaza. The phone number is 338-2161.
