WALTER w. CoHOON, First
District Solicitor, whose duties
take him through Beaufort,
Hyde, Dare, Tyrrell, Currituck,
etc, is one of the most popular
officials in eastern N. c. and no
opposition appears in sight, as he
announces for his fourth term
in office. High praise, in which
we agree, came to him from The
Independent-Star, his hometown
daily newspaper, as follows:
Walter Cohoon is one of the
most sincere, Conscientious and
devoted public servants we have
ever seen in our years of critical
observance of people in public
life. He is a good politician, too.
But his strength as politician
comes to him through the service
he has performed, rather than
through a lot of talking and the
pulling of strings. He boasts not
of his achievements; his modesty
is sometimes amazing. Yet every
one knows him throughout his
district as a man who accom-
plishes things in the office he
holds.
In the courtroom, as we said
of him before, he is thorough and
straightforward. He is firm, but
courteous to those with whom he
has to deal. He has that very
obvious quality of being able to
prosecute without prosecuting,
and the lawbreakers who face
him from the witness chair res
pect him for his fairness to them,
but fear him for his ability to
cross them up if they try to lie
in their testimony.
"And with his firnness and
thoroughness as a public prose
cutor OF those who have broken
the law. Walter Cohoon also has
those human qualities that make
him willing to give the deserving
break. If he is convinced that a
defendant has made mistake
of the heal and not of the heart,
after he has won a conviction, he
is not adverse to agreeing to a
plea for mercy and does not de-
mand the maximum penalty"

QUERIES.

I would appreciate any in
formation readers can give me
regarding Knoxville, Tennessee,
including whether it Is better
to plan on buying a house or
renting one, or whether apart
mentS sof moderate prices are
available: : whether food prices,
etc., are comparable to these in
Washington; what the cultural
and entertainment facilities
are; and whether the weather
is comparable to that in WASH
ington. My husband will be
affiliated with the university
there.
What is the best way to keep
newspaper clippings and maga-
zine clippings? We have the
habit of keeping whole maga-
zines which contain articles
regarding homes. Wevalso have
drawers full of clippings about
miscellaneous items.
Are there pros and cons for
keeping snapshots in the new
plastic binders? Is it possible
to get a large quantity Of the
plastic and make envelopes for
pictures and insert them into
binders?
What does one do with
mems shirts when they can no
longer wear them because Of
frayed' collars and cuffs, or
laundry rips? Can good dust
cloths be made from them?
Any other ideas?
Does every one have trouble
keeping ice cream hard in their
refrigerator when an ice freez-

able? I have tried keeping it
irf foil bags and also in ice
cube trays without success.

vegetation. requires a good sense
of balance. Many is the railbird
shooter VINO dunks himself at
least once on his first trip into
the marsh.
Meantime, in front, behind
and on all sides of you, is the
boom of the guns of other shoot
ers. Your pusher and theirs al
most constantly raise the cry
of "Woo-o-o, wo-o-o," which
carries far across the marsh and
gives the other fellow some idea
of where you're located. Even
then you occasionally get sprin-
kled with shot. AS the sora flush
ahead of you. your pusher cries
mark right" or mark left" to
let you know the position of the
bird. You swing, locate it, snep
shoot it and the bird drops into
the thick marsh growth. These
guides have an uncanny sense
Of location. More than once
we've had our pusher shove un-
erringly to spots where two or
more birds had been killed at
different times and pick them up
on the end of his paddle or pole
prongs and drop them in the
skiff. If we had had to do it,
we probably would have found
none of them.
Although the daily bag limit
is 25 birds, they are so plentiful
at this season that even hunters
possessing only mediocre shoot
ing skill rarely fail to fill their
bag limit before the tide recedes
and forces them to leave the
marsh. Arriving back at the spot
of embarkation, you can have
your birds cleaned and picked for
a very modest sum. Fried in a
skillet, they are delicious morsels.
