a county-wide meeting of
Hyde Courty Paren'i-Teaeher As
sociation members was held in
the Swan Quarter high school
auditorium Tuesday eveniiep.
Mrs. Maude B. Foy, dlistrict di
rector and Mrs. J. S. Blair, field
worker, were the principal speak
ers. The state officials brought out
the point that for the schools to
do their best job they must have
the help of the patrons. This
help, it was pointed out, can
best come through the P.T.A. or
ganizations. Parent-Teacher associations in
North Carolina and throughout
the nation are striving for leg
islation to better the education
al system in order to help de
velop the children better ment
ally, physically and socially,
those present were told by the
speakers.
They were told by Miss Blair
that compared with the three per
cent of our national income spent
for education, three per cent was
spent for tobacco, five per cent
for whiskey, three per cent for
personal appearance, three per
cent for advertising and 11 per
cent for transportation.
Supt. N. W. Shelton of Swan
Quarter made a few remarks.
Mrs. Ellen Watson of the Fair
field school and Mrs. Mary Brown
of the Engelhard school were
called on to make short talks.
E. A. Williams, president of
the Swan Quarter P.TA. presid
ed at the meeting Tuesday eve
ning. Engelhard, Fairfield and
Swan Quarter were represented
at the meeting.

Lohengrin's wedding march.

I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN,
MR. JOHN ,
It was about this time of year
two years ago, on a cold day in
early' winter, that I met John Mur
t"ugh. Since then we have become
the best of friends. The folks at
Manteo where he works as foreman
of this newspaper's print shop, ca'l
him Mr. Murtaugh, but to me it is
"Mr. John."
John Murtaugh came to the
coastland to work in a small town
printing plant where life wouldn't
be too hard, and where he could
live in quiet and in a place where
everyone knows even-one else. He
came when the shop was short of
help, and he was given the job. It
has been nice working with him
since that time. There have been
many difficulties, but we always
came through.
I like most printers. It's because
I like printing so well, I guess. But
my friendship with "Mr. John" is
deper than it has been with most
of them. One thing, he's stayed
around longer, and another, we find
ourselves liking the same subjects
to talk about, read about, and see
Becat se I think readf . ; would
appreciate their paper more if they
knew the fo!ks who make them, is
one reason for this t!k ?bout a
country printer who doesn't care
about puh'ieitv. But most of alb

Mr. Hooper recommends that

lowing the footsteps of his fath
er, the late Thomas D. Davis, for
two terms sheriff of Hyde Coun
ty, and prominent businessman.
The youthful deputy, like his
father before him, is known as
a good man to do business with.
He is quiet and good-mannered.
Despite his nervous nature, he
generally finds time to talk with
those who bring him their prob
lems or come to pay their taxes.
Davis served for nearly four
years in the Navy. He contracted
a strange fever while serving in
Cuba and was discharged because
of the resulting disability. Al
though handicapped from time to
time by this illness, he carries on
his work well, along with keep
ing books for T. J. Etheridge,
Texaco dealer at Engelhard.
Davis is one of Engelhard's
most eligible bachelors. He lives
with his mother, Mrs. Mattie
Mann Davis at Middletown.
It was back in 1941, about six
months after being discharged
number of years. They are the on

County sales if the county's quo

They have served as janitors
