IN MEMORIAM

44N NAANANAOANAEANA
In memory of our dear husband
and father, Charles X. Tillett, who
passed away April 6, 1941.
A precious one from us has
gene.
A voice we loved is still.
A place is vacant in our hearts,
That never can be filed.
Friends may think we soon for
get,
And our wounded hearts are heal
ed.
But they little know the sorrow,
That lies within our hearts con-
cealed.
Never will we forget you,
Never will your memory fade.
Fondest hopes will always linger,
Around your quiet and peaceful
grave.
Some day we hope to meet you
But the day we do not know
All together up in heaven
Where we will never part no more.
Wife and Children,
Eleazor Tillett,
Wanchese, N. C.

ON THE PAMLICO
BY VERNON WARD


At Breezy Banks, where tall pines
grow
On the ragged bluffs of the
Pamlico,
You feast your eyes on the sandy
beach,
The waters wide as the gaze can
reach,
The frothing wave,
The speeding boat,
The boatman brave,
The gulls afloat,
And across the waters sparkling
stream,
Indian Islands enchanting
CLEAN,
Her golden sand,
Her chartreuse marsh,
Dark wooded land
With outline harsh,
Lonely, lovely, deserted land,
Marshland, meadow, woodland,
sand,
Inviting to the wilder part
Of every throbbing human
heart.
And
To the east you thrill to see
Waters stretch out endlessly,
The reaches of the wide blue
sound,
With never border, break, or
bound:
The peaceful scene,
The view serene,
The lands fall,
The seward call,
Groundswells weaving every
where,
Realm of beauty beyond compare.
You stand till dusk on the point of
bluff,
Turn to the west, where the
flaming sun
Trims it's flame till there is none,
But leaves its radiant colors
there,
On the water, in the air,
Paints the clouds in rose and
gold,
Bronze and green and mixtures
bold;
They fade beyond the point of
pine
And blend to dun on the river line.
Then
The rising eastern moon
Shows a shimmering coppery red
That lights to gold and, all too
soon,
Mounts the sky above your head.
Reluctantly moving to your bed,
You halt once more, and looking
back,
You see the pines standing
black
In irridescent silver sheen,
Dazzling scene
Of the Pamlico
Then you go.

Home Repairs
Due for Boom

While new home construction
will be down from the 1850 peak,
building authorities agree that re-
modelling and repair business will
boom in 1851.
Severe credit restrictions i'm
posed under the Governments
Regulation x limit the construc-
ton of new homes, but there is no
effective deterrent to the repair
and remodeling of existing homes
and farm buildings.
The Federal Housing Authority
continues to pursue liberal credit
policy in insuring loans by banks
and other lending institutions to
finance repairs and remodeling.
The FILA insures loans in amounts
up to $4,000, subject only to a
down payment of 10 percent and
repayment of the balance in 80
months.
Government officials obviously
recognize the importance of keep
ing homes in good repair, eSpe-
cially at a time when new con-
struction is being restricted.
Actually, the owners of older
homes who have been wanting to
yemodel or make needed repairs
now will have a better opportu-
nifty to have the work done. Build
ing mechanics have been engaged
largely on new construction, and
rev homes have consumed the
bulk of the building materials
available.
Take roofing, for example. Me-
chanics and materials should be
available for long-deferred re-
roofing and repair jobs. The as
phalt roofing industry is making
every possible effort to meet the
unprecedented demand for its
products. Shipments of strip shin
giles exceeded 5000, 100000 squares
ior the first time last May, and
have been in excess of that figure
every month since

MUSEUM WILL
OPEN SUNDAY
Zwaanendael Museum, Lewes,
to Open April First
for Season
CLOSED ON MONDAYS

The spring season of the Zwa-
anendael Museum, state memorial
to the first Dutch settlers at Lewes
will be opened on Sunday, April l,
is announced by Miss Catharine c.
Maull, curator. Closed during the
winter months, as is customary,
the public is now invited to visit
the museum, starting April 1, Sun
day, between 1890 and 5 p. m.
These will be the visiting hours
also on Saturdays. While the mu-
scum is always closed on Mondays,
the weekday visiting hours. Tues
day, Wednesday Thursday and Fri
day, will be from 1890 to 4:40 p.
m. Several new relics of state
wide historic interest will be on
display for the first spring Wis
itors. The ships "badge" from the
lend-lease destroyer, the H. M. S.
Lewes, donated to the town of
Lewes recently by the British Ad-
miralty, has been mounted on a
stand, and also on display will be
a bound volume containing the
complete history of all the fifty
United States destroyers loaned to
Britain in the last war. The H
M. S. Lewes, renamed by Britain
for the town of Lewes, Del, had
the most Travelled record of SER
vice of all the lend-lease destroy
ers. Another addition to the mu-
scum relics to be seen for the first
time is a memorial plate commem-
Grating the liberation of Mas
tricht, Holland on September IA
1914, by the American Army. This
was the gift of Lieutenant Colone
John Wendell Bailey of Richmond
Va. This gift is significant as
Maastricht was the first liberated
city in Holland, the country which
in 1881 sent the original Dutch ex.
plorers to Lewes, calling it"zwaan
endael", a name perpetuated in thu
present memorial building.
