'Mayflower society to observe anniversary The annual meeting of the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of North Carolina will be held the evening of November 13 and 14 at High Point at the Radisson The meeting will mark the 63rd an niversary of the founding of the So ciety in this state, it being organized |November 21, 1924 under authority of *the General Society of Mayflower De scendants. The host colony this year is the Piedmont Colony, Mrs. C. E. Latimer, chairman and Mr. Russell Southworth, co-chairman. It was the late Burnham S. Colburn of Asheville and Biltmore Forest who was the moving spirit in establishing the state society and getting together the necessary 20 persons with proven lines of descent from Mayflower pas sengers to be eligible for the charter. Colburn served as Governor of the North Carolina Society from 1924 to 1933 and as its historian and guiding spirit uiitil his death in 1969. He also was long active on the Board of Assis tants of the General Society of Mayf lower Descendants and was elected Governor General, the highest office of the society, for a three-year term. In 1943, the Asheville Colony, first of the State Society, was formed at pie home of the late Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Bynum on Macon Avenue. Others soon followed, the most recent being the Northeast Colony in 1974 with headquarters at Elizabeth City. There are now six colony areas within the state where regional mee tins are held during the year. The North Carolina Society is one of the larger Mayflower societies in the Southeast with over 500 members. In 1930, "The Mayflower Society Cup" was presented by the Society to the North Carolina Literary and His torical Association as a memorial to the passengers of the Mayflower who landed at Plymouth in 1620. The original cup, designed and hand made of silver by the late Wil liam Waldo Dodge, Jr. of Ashville ,was conceived as a means of stimu lating in North Carolinians an interest in their own literature. This cup is located in the lobby of the Ar chives and History Building in Ra leigh. Each year a small replica of the cup is presented to that resident of North Carolina "who during the preceding twelve months shall have published an original work of non-fic tion of outstanding excellence which, in the opinion of the Board of Awards shall appear to have been the most worthy of recognition." This award may be for a single work or in recognition of outstanding liter ary achievement over a period of years. The award for 1966 went to Dr. Paul Escott professor of History of UNC University, for his book "Many Excellent People" and the 1987 award will be announced during Cul ture Week in Raleigh November 5-7. Mrs. Walter Spaeth of Elizabeth City, Governor of the North Carolina Mayflower Society will present the Mayflower Cup at the Culture Week Banquet. The Northeast Colony located in northeast North Carolina has mem bers in Washington, New Bern, Man teo, Creswell and Elizabeth City. They also have seven members in Virginia Beach. Among purposes of the Society are to "perpetuate to remote posterity the memory of our Pilgrim Fathers; to defend and maintain the principle of civil and religious liberty as set forth in the Mayflower Compact; to cherish and maintain the ideals and institutions of American freedom; to transmit the spirity, the purity of purpose and steadfastness of will of the Pilgrim Fathers to those who come after us." In helping to cele brate the Bicentennial of the Consti tution (1967-1991) the members of the Society are conscious that the Pil grims Mayflower Compact signed in the cabin of the ship, Mayflower was the frist written document of free dom in what is now known as the United States of America. We as their descendents should try to emu late their great qualities.

Citizen reflects on life in Snug Harbor IS SNUG HARBOR SNUG? I discovered Snug Harbor from a friend of mine, Who said that the area was quiet, peaceful and fine. To escape the big city, I bought me a lot, Big city crime and vandalism to be forgot. Built me a cottage to retire in a few years. Still thinking Snug Harbor the an swer to my fears. Made many friends at "Bethel Mall", Liking the area - Spring, Summer and Fall. Discovered a nice restaurant in Bethel to dine, Of discord in the area, there wasn't a sign. And with no one would I debate That life in this area was really just great. I came down to Snug Harbor for a much needed rest. Feeling quite happy, contented and blessed, Went for a ride to see what was new, What I discovered put me in a stew. I was riding on a street in Snug Har bor I know., By the house of a friend, I drove very slow. Seeing his house, I thought, What the heck! The front of his house was missing the deck! To notify my friend I did speedily go. At first to catch on, he was very slow. When he realized that it wasn't a joke, He came by to see what else was sto len or "broke." After a thorough house search and check, We found nothing missing - except that deck! This is all true, I'm not blowing smoke. My friend was so mad, I'd thought he would croak. We need some answers and we need them quick, For stealing a deck is quite a trick! If you've seen a truck with a deck on its bed, Call us immediately, what more can be said. I still have faith in Snug Harbor and certainly hope This an isolated incident - with that I can cope. But I couldn't help but wonder as I ! helped my friend check, What if they come back for the house to go with the deck! ANONYMOUS VA counselor answers people's questions.
