Residents on the north side OF
east Second Street, will gain full
benefit of the proposed widening
of the bottleneck between Fulton
and Hayes Streets, even though
they do not live in the city ;.
BY a queer quirk in an ancient
deed, that portion of the city was
set apart from the boundaries,
and property owners refused to
annex themselves, preferring TO
remain in Portage Township
However. these residents have
paid city taxes and supported city
improvements for years. so there
is nothing very complicated by
the odd arrangement anymore.

the Williamson Enterprise re-
ported in a front-page article last
week, have jumped into the infla-
tionary race along with legitimate
producers. In Martin county, the
Enterprise says, "Prices for illic-

via the grapevine route. Best
qualities, cooked in copper kettles
with the supply of water free of
drainage from hog lots and mule
stables, are commanding So gal
lon, cash on the barrelhead or

Consumers can expect no relief
from the application of price con-
trolls to this field, and of course
they must not expect the ultra
rugged individualists who produce
this form of paralyzing joy-juice
to submit to voluntary controls.
Individual producers in this in
dustry would as little think of
agreeing with each other on any
matter of business as they would
think of swallowing their rivals
concoctions-or of allowing any,
one whose health they valued to
drink any of their own potions.

IT TAXES
ALL KINDS
By DAVE WEST

There's an item in the "Remem-
Der When" column of this issue
that can make such vague term
as Imitation" that we've been
reading about meaningful even
to person as notably slow to
catch on as ourself. Fifteen years
ago Tarkington's Grocery Store
in Manteo was broken into and
three or four hams, 20 TBS. of
meat, a 4S-fb. sack of flour, a
dozen or more cakes and some
smaller articles were taken by
thieves. The value in all, it was
reported in the 1886 copy of the
paper, was approximately $25."
We were curious about how much
these items would cost at today's
prices; so we went down to ask
Bill Tarkingon about it. Bill re-
called the robbery, and could even
recall what the stolen things were
priced at. "Ham," he said, "cost
soc pound then, Zoe now" Three
average-sized hams at today's
prices would pretty well consume
the $25 by themselves. Bill said
that the 20 TBS. of meat the
thieves made off with had a value
of about $500 in 1886; the same
would be worth $7.40 now, at SIC
a ID. The housewife had to pay
cut only $1.20 for a 48-pound
sack of flour in those days; she
pays around $500 now. The "doz-
en- or more" cakes today could
hardly be bought for less than so
to Coo apiece, though Mr.. Tark-
ington says he got zoe for them
at the time of the robbery.
The grocer says that you could
double the $25 estimate of the
worth of the goods solen from
him in 1886 and you'd still have
a conservative estimate of their
cost today Lest the prices of
food in 1886 appear overattractive
to young housewives, they ought
to check with their mothers or 9TH
er older wives in their neighbor-
hood and learn how hard it was
to come by dollar in those bar
ely post-depression days. You've
got to be pretty young to look
at the prices of the mid-thirties
and think that "those were the
good old days." People who re-
call the seamy times most ordin-
airy people knew in the early and
mid-thirties will never call for a
return of those days. They'd ra-
Their take a chance Of even more
Imitation" than drop back to the
dismal depression conditions.

The cancellation of the North
Carolina Little Symphony's ap-
pearance at Qcracoke because of
the snowstornh week ago last
Saturday seems to US one of the
dirtiest tricks the storm played
anywhere. We'd guess that the
members of the symphony We're
about as put out at missing a Wis
it to Ocracoke as the islanders
must have been to miss hearing
the find musical organization.
However, it is reported that the
concert will be re-scheduled; so
maybe everything will turn out
well after all.
