1t is reported to us that, contrary
to the implications of the little
jingle we set down last week about
"a furniture salesman named
Fred" his "escort-obligations" are
by no means greater than he can
handle. We would be sorry to be
the cause of putting a crimp in his
style; so we feel that it is only
fair to say that he has yet several
unengaged evenings-late in July,
we believe, or early in August.

An important step was taken last
week to make the Times more of
"a family newspaper" than ever.
The balance between married and
unmarried males on the staff shift
ed in favor of the Benedicts. The
entire burden of seeing that the
office is visited frequently by pref
ty young single ladies must now
be the responsibility of Billy and
Roger alone. We have confidence
in them.
Just in case other baseball fans
were as blissfully asleep as we
were, we'd like to remind them
that the Manteo high school nine
played it's spring schedule of
games without dropping a single
contest. That's the kind of back
ground that enables town to have
a good semi-pro club. Haven't
heard even a whisper about the
towns having a club this year.
Since no one else grumbles about
the lack of a ball club, so far as we
know, we can only conclude that

On Wednesday night the Man

the ladies of the Manns Harbor
club at a covered dish supper in
the G om m unity Building. Mrs.
Mann, vice president of the visiting
club, acted as installing officer in
the ceremonies of installation for
the Manteo clubs officers for the
coming year. The membership re-
elected the same board of officers
as is presently serving, with one
exception: Mrs. Isabel Warren is
the clubs new vice president.

Thumb handed relative. We are
! i'm ing relationship with the
great Dare county clans of Manns
and Meekins; if our claim seems
preposterous to squeamish men,
bers of those clans, who'd prefer
our looking elsewhere for kinfolks,
they must take cognizance of the
fact that we once established a
perfectly satisfactory kinship with
our college roommate by virtue of
the fact that a sister-in-law of ours
was the widow of his cousin.
NelPs mother, Mrs. Davies, read
Victor's "Then and Now" column
last week and discovered therefrom
that the Manns and Meekins were
related. This now doubly-precious
sister-in-law was before marriage
a Mann, member of family that
had moved from this section to
Iowa many years ago. That makes
our Mann-Meekins affinity quite as
close as our kinship with our room
mate-indeed, if it were just a bit
closer we would claim to be native
of Dare. Which reminds us
that another of our in-laws once
undertook to look up his North
Carolina relatives-and was, let us
say, singularly indefinite about
them when he came back to Iowa.

We wrote a story last week
about young Mrs. Manning R. Gray
in which we ventured the opinion
that she would not remain long in
Manteo without being sought out
for employment; even before the
paper got off the press, Mrs. Robert
Balance had hired the pretty
Coloradan to work at Wise's Cafe.

Hiqh School Fund
 fCsonfinIed from pa0a n

Meanwhile the Alaska Public Works recommendations of a more modest structure based on the very barest essentials called for structure of 22,000 square feet of building space at con struction cost of approximately $640,000 - less than half the amount originally proposed. The scaling down of the plans submit ted by the school board was ne- cessitated, according to APW by defense needs, material and labor shortages, and the general need for economy in public spending during the present period.
 What would the slice in build ing funds do 10 inc architects sketch of the building pictured? Roughly, said ahradnicek. "the middle part of the structure re- maining after inc right and left wings are blocked off. would ap- proximate the building which could be realized from the recom- mended funds.
 That could mean that the audi torlum, the band room, the ad ministration rooms, the gymnasi uln, and even the cafeteria would be out of the picture. The essen tial classrooms, library, and lab aoratories probably would remain. However, the exact picture of the revised plans will come only after the school board meets in July % organize it's plans to meet the con ditions imposed.
 Actually, the architects plans were only preliminary and would have been subject to many changes suggested by the board before that body gave them it's final approval
 District Pays Half
 Bill Zahradnicek refused to let his disappointment get the best of him as the school he had dreamed of for two years was am- putated before assuming concrete form. He chose to look on one bright side of the picture.
 We can afford it now, he said. We won't have to worry about getting the local funds out of sales tax, extra assessments, or any thing. The tobacco tax received by the school district, he said, will take care of the local share of one-half the total, or approxi- mately $320,OOO. On the basis of income received from the tobacco tax, bond issue for that amount could be amortized over 20-year period with interest and all costs covered.
 Ruefully Zahradnicek admitted that the "frills" which must be dropped from the proposed build ing are the only sections which might, over a long period of time, prove almost self-liquidating. Gate receipts from sports attrac- tions and auditorium fees and re- ceipts soon mount up to a tidy sum.
 It appears, however, that Pal mer's most pressing needs for classroom space soon will be al leviated. Actual construction will probably not start during the present building season, but the preliminary arrangements may be effected in time for an early start in the spring, Zahranicek said.

carried copiously in recent Re-
construction Finance Corp. state
ments. Yet, the very volume OF
the testimony has left the public
wondering what's in-and behind
the name of that st. Louis
printing company.
How the "Lithofold" got into
the firms title remains something
of a mystery, because that WORD
never got into the ordinary Office
dictionary. 1t repeatedly was
coined by Robert j. Blauner, the
president, when the company
started business in June, 1886.
Answer TO Bureaucrat's Dream.
In any event, the little printing
plant turned out so many folds
and forms that it eventually be-
came the answer to a bureau
Gratis dream. It doesn't just pro-
duce printed forms. 1t manufac-
lures multi-forms in special sizes
and shapes. Some of them offer
as many as 18 duplicates COM
plete with carbon.
That may account partly for the
companyS $14 million business
with Federal form filling agencies
since 1945. Some members of the
Senate subcommittee suspect the
company'S pleasant and profitable
relations with the Government
until a few weeks ago-resulted
mainly from hiring or knowing in
f1uential people in Washington and
other centers of political interest.
Be that as it may, American
Lithofold had an inconspicuous
and inauspicious beginning in a
few back rooms of a factory build
ing in the far northern part of
st. Louis. almost on the mighty
Mississippi.
Kept Rolling Along.
But, like old man river, Litho-
fold kept rolling along. 1t rolled
out forms and business tabulating
and snap-out sheets and whisky
bottle labels on occasion.
AS printing establishments go
in st. Louis, Lithofold still is rela-
lively small. and most of its Off
GERS at one time or another were
relatives. Nevertheless, it now oc-
cupies the entire building in which
it once nestled. 1t also has re-
