CURRITUCK
(Continued from Page One)

Currituck County business men,
wide awake to the value of the in
come from tourists and sportsmen,
are on their toes the year around,
constantly providing better ACCOM-
modations and service for their
visitors,
Currituck. has been famed for its
sport, particularly wildfowl hunt
ing, way out ahead of any part of
the state since time immemorial.
During the past few years it has
ness proved success and now the
birds are still handled in the resi-
dence.
Mrs. Sewers had stroke of bad
luck the other night when an cleo
trical storm playing with the power
line burnt out the refrigerator. A
newer and better one is now being
installed.
Farther up the road, near Gran
dy, Lloyd Gilden has stocked up a
fine lunch place, and is putting a
lot of enthusiasm in the job of
serving the public. He has serv-
ice station, sells lunches, accom-
nlodates fishermen by making all
arrangements for them. He is
young and full of energy and good
will.
Famed far and wide is "Uncle
Graham" Woodhouse, who has not
the appearance of being old enough
to be called uncle by anybody but
himself. He is a well established
landmark of Currituck, a long
time in business. He operates
fine store, filling station, has mod
ern rooms for tourists, arranges
for fishing parties, and is so busy
and helpful that no one should miss
seeing him when in Currituck.
Orville Woodhouse is Gfandy's
postmaster. He is one of the most
successful young business men pro-
duced in the grand old county of
Currituck. AS a farm produce
broker he is busy marketing the
big share of Currituck's half mil
lion dollar bean crop, and will
hardly get breathing spell during
the next month while he plunges
into the potato deal. Orville Wood
house is well aware of the value of
the tourist dollar to his county, and
he enjoys quite a bit of fishing
himself.
Currituck has a superior boat
builder in Allen H. Hayman whose
work is known the entire Atlantic
seaboard. He operates a shop at
Point Harbor, where two yachts
are now under construction, and
a marine railway at Point Harbor
shore. He also is considering es-
tablishing a marine railway at
Roanoke Island. Mr.. Hayman has
been in the bodybuilding business
since boyhood, and is the son of
the late boatbuilder, Tom Hayman
of Elizabeth City.
One of the best stocked country
stores in Currituck is operated in
the delightful community of Pop
lar Branch by John Willis Tillett,
who is native of Mays Head, but
nearly 40 years in business in Cur
rituck. 1t is always a source of de-
light to have friends of his native
county come to visit him. He and
Mrs. Tillett are making a fine job
of running this business.
One of the most unique and in
teresting places in Currituck is the
furniture and antique store oper-
ated near the courthouse by the
veteran legislator, E. r. johnson.

He was accompanied by Henry

Draft Eligible
Students Should
Take The Test

WASHINGTON-CR,-All draft
eligible college students have
been advised by selective service
to take the forthcoming aptitude
tests regardless of their schol-
astic standing.
In making this suggestion in
radio broadcast Brig. Gen. Louis
II. Renfrow, Deputy Director, said
he is concerned about reports
that students are not applying to
local draft boards for the ex-
animation application cards.
He said it is "vitally important
for everyone eligible for the test
to take it." Later he put it more
strongly, saying each eligible
student must take the test and
have it in his files"
Heretofore, the selective SER

But fighting was sharp. The
whole day was spent readjusting
lines.
In contrast to other Chinese
offensives, Allied commanders
were not seriously alarmed with
the situation. They had been pre-
pairing for a month to meet the
attack. They were in stronger
force than ever before.
The central front situation was
grim.
Allied intelligence officers said
the Chinese were throwing every
thing they've got" into the hole
ripped in the U.N. line. Often this
was only rifle, machinegun and
other small arms fire as Red in
fantrymen and horsemen pushed
far ahead of their artillery.
The Chinese were expected to
fan out east and west of the hole
in an effort to cut the main Al
lied supply lines.
Their immediate goal appeared
to be the Chunchon-Seoul high

Taft made the statement to a

reached for the Senate Armed
