He pointed out that many oil shipments were diverted through the inland route. “The present depth of the wa terway would be a great hin drance should we find ourselves faced with a similar situation to day,” Willis commented.

His name was Chris and he had had what was then called “infantile paralysis” many years before I first knew him. He wore a heavy brace on his right leg and walking was difficult for him so Chris got around on the back of a tough little cow pony (so called because the breed was best for herding cows to the dip ping vat) He tore up and down the street on that pony in the same manner that hot rodders bum up the streets today, and his elders shook their heads and mur mured “That boy is going to kill himself yet.” Chris was in my grade at school, though he was several years older than anyone else in the room. As children will, we took it for grant ed that his advanced age meant that he was cripplel in mind as well as in body. Chris must have realized our attitude, and it is a wonder that he stayed in school at all after having missed so much of his early years. It was seldom, however, that his good nature deserted him, and I suspect now that he. often played the fool just to entertain us. My ’ most vivid memory of Chris comes with that of an occur ence when we were in the seventh grade. It was a day like any other in our crowded classroom until of smoke sent us all rushing in panic to the hallway. All, that is, the shout of “Fire” and the smell except Chris. He jumped head first out the window and landed in a coal pile. The small fire in the basement of the building was soon put out, and we returned to the classroom, keyed up with the excitement of it all. Chris, though, had to be taken to a doctor to have the coal picked out of the gashes on his head and some stitches taken. To the rest of the class it was screamingly funny that Chris had jumped out of the window in to the coal pile just because there was a little old fire in the base ment. Looking back, I know why he did. He must have been thrown into a panic at the thought of be ing trapped in the mad rush for the doorway, he who could barely walk and could never hope to run. Chris did drop out of school some time duriing our high school days, and it has been many years since I have seen him, or even thought of him. However, as I listened to the radio reports on the Salk vaccine, I could see him as plainly as though we were back in the seventh grade. I hope that he is still living and that he heard the reports. If so, he surely must have looked down at the leg with the heavy braces and breathed a prayer of thanks that many boys will now be spared the mental and physical suffering that he has known. ENGELHARD SOLDIER WITH 25th INFANTRY IN HAWAII Hawaii.—Army Pvt. Joseph B. Cahoon, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Closs E. Cahoon, Route 1, Engel hard, recently arrived in Hawaii and is now a m mber of the 25th Infantry Division. Cahoon, ‘ a rifleman, in the “Tropic Lightning” division, en tered the Army in November 1954 and completed basic training at Fort Jackson, S. C. He was graduated from the Engelhard High School. PAINTING CLASSES BY NORTH CAROLINA ARTIST Manteo.—Jim Pace, well-known North Carolina artist, announced today that he plans to conduct watercolor classes here from July 1 to July 30. There will be separate sessions daily ,for beginners and advanced students with field trips twice weekly to picturesque poiints along the Outer Banks from the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk to the shrimp boats at Hatteras. Further information about the classes may be obtained by writing to Mr. Pace at Manteo, North Carolina. Pace, whose parents live in Dur ham, has had a wide practical ex perience in many phases of crea tive art, and has operated a design studio in Chicago for the last three years. He has studied at numerous schools, including the University of North Carolina and the Art Students League of New York. He is a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago. Upon the recommendation of Eliot O’Hara, eminent watercolor ist and teacher, Pace started teaching painting for the Win ston-Salem Arts and Crafts Society in 1947. The summer of 1949 Was spent painting with the late William Meade Prince at Manteo. Pace’s paintings now hang in many North Carolina homes, and his designs have been bought by several museums. TIME Magazine recently review his work. After painting in Europe and the West Indies, and in the United States from Maine to California, Pace feels that there is no better place to paint than North Caro lina’s own far-famed Outer Banks.

W. W. Edwards, chairman of the Beach Buggy race, scheduled to follow the pony classic, has an nounced that he has some of the best drivers to ever cross a sand dune on four wheels entered in the races. These exciting beach buggy races will compete over a course along the surf from the Lighthouse to the Cape and re turn.

On Friday night also in the Kill Devil Hills area, Mrs. Diane Johson of the Wilbur Wright Hotel will present a Shirmp Feast and Dancing Pirate party. This will be a benefit affair with prizes for the best in pirates costumes, but admission charges will be nominal. The scene of action on Saturday will move northward along the coast to the Dare beaches of Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head. Model plane contests at the Wright monument, music by Elizabeth City’s famous High School “Pirate” Band, lantern laden nag races, treasure hunts, for young and old, beach and jalopy races are some of the day time events to be concluded with a grand Pirate Masquerade Ball at which Governor Luther Hodges, and some 100 or more State Legis lators will be attendants.
