and scores of others found employ
ment in 1.-The hunting season, and
many of them acted as caretaker
in the closed season. The men who
captained the Brant were paid
straight salary, and so were the
two or three members of the crew.
A feature which the clubhouse Of
fered around Christmas time was
of a social nature when the
sportsmen all returned to their
homes for the holidays. Those in
charge of the Clubhouse would
permit the young people of the
neighborhood to have one or more
square dances during Christmas.
The writer was never musician;
but in those days, he was a right
good "fiddler'-and as the young
people of that day would refer to
my brother Dan and to me saying
"those boys could draw wicked
bow on these occasions. Such
tunes as "Poor Beck is Sleeping;
Turkey in the Straw; "Old Dan
Tucker" Soldiers JOYS" "Oh
Susannah'; and hundreds of other
like tunes, were on demand.
Sometimes my brother used his
banjo and l "drew the bow. No
drinking allowed, and if some one
came to the dance loaded we
fellows would stop the dance, and
proceed to march him to the outer
gate of the club enclosure. Christ
mas over, the youth went back to
work or to school, and the hunting
resumed. One of the most colorful
employees of this club was Uncle
Lawrence Meekins. No better cook
and dining room man has ever
lived in Wanchese than "Uncle"
Lawrence as every body-young
and old-called this Christian gen.
tlemen. He would tell the sports
men: "give me your order, and
I'll see that it comes on the table
in due time" By trade, Mr.. Meek
ms was a first class carpenter;
but like most men of his commu-
nifty of that day, he knew how to
cook. He knew more about it than
the others, and he was in demand
at the clubhouse when sportsmen
were around.
This enterprise, like all others,
had it's place and its day. But its
days were numbered. The old YES

sci went the way of all good ships
in time. The goose hunting bust
ness ceased to be profitable as of
that day; and the clubhouse was
closed, and later sold to private
ownership. The old Ark fell to
pieces in decay there about Mill
Creek. Somewhere, that No. eight
breech-loading Parker gun is on
Roanoke Island, or was a few
years ago. All who were in charge
of these material things have
long since gone to happier hunt
ing ground. But that club, the ark,
and the yacht meant much to
sportsmen, and it meants a living
to many natives. This is just to
help preserve the history of those
fine things in their setting of that
day around the Gay Nineties and
the decade or two following.

WE USE TWICE AS MUCH
ELECTRICITY AS 10 YRS. AGO
Virginia Electric and Power Co. Figures
Show Tremendous Consumption
Has More Than Doubled

The average annual use of cleo
trieity by residential customers of
Virginia Electric and Power Com
pany was 3,012 kilowatt hours
which was more than double the
consumption of ten years ago.
The national average for use per
residential customer for 1855 was
slightly over 2,7OO kilowatt hours,
according to a statement today by
E. H. Will, President of the Com
pany.
Vepco's residential customers
are increasing at a rate faster than
the growth of other classes of
customers and in 1866 were re-
sponsible for 45 per cent of the
total electric revenues.
Population growth in the Vepco
service area near Washington is
reflected in the connection of new
customers at rate twice that for
the system as a whole. New Gus
toners are also being added at a
higher than average rate in the
Richmond and Norfolk areas.
Construction expenditures of the
Company for the year 1855 were
$40, 10000
Operating revenues of the Com
pany increased from $3.50 ,166 in
1854 to $106, 153,777 last year, ac-
cording to preliminary figures
compiled by the Company.
During the same period, earn
ings available for common stock
rose from $14,515,296 to SIG, $780,
678. Based on 100000 shares of
common stock outstanding, earn.
nings per share increased from
1920 to 1854.
Main factors contributing to the
increases were the growth in the
number of customers and greater
use of electricity.
Vepco served 656,7O0 customers
at the end of 1866, which was
2S,SOO more than the previous
year.

SPEEDING IS ALWAYS
HARD ON POCKETBOOK

Raleigh.-"Speeders Lose, SO
slow down and live!"
In these words Major D. T. Lam
bert of the State Highway Patrol
warned impatient motorists this
week that excessive speed is al
ways a losing game.
"Speeders lose money because
excessive speed is hard on the
pocketbook," the major said. "The
car that burns up the road at a
fast pace also burns up gas and
oil at much faster rate than the
car that travels at moderate
speed. And it wears out tires and
brakes before their time"
Major Lambert should know
whereof he speaks. He has been
state trooper since 1929 and hoe
perhaps driven close to a million
miles.
He also believes that speeders
lose respect. Anyone can jam his
foot on the accelerator, he said,
but it requires good Judgment to
decide what speed is safe under
existing conditions. Therefore the
driver who follows the latter
course is the one who makes a
better impression.
Major Lambert's next observa-
ton may come as a surprise to
many drivers. Speeders, he de-
clares, often lose time. Travelling
at faster rate of speed than the
traffic around them, cutting in
and out, racing for traffic lights,
may cause time-consuming traffic
jams.
"But, of course, the greatest
loss to the speeder is the loss Of
safety" the patrol executive said.
"As speed increases, the drivers
control of his car decreases. An
accident occurring at high speed is
far more likely to cause a fatality
than one occurring at low speed"
49," Major Lambert advised Tai
Heel motorists, "Don't be in a
hurry, you've got too much to
lose." Nv

GOVERNOR ON A TIGHT ROPE
(Laurinburg Exchangel

Governor Luther Hodges is
walking a tight rope on segrega-
ton and the public schools. It is
quite clear from the Governors
speeches and his announcements
from time to time that he rather
desperately wants two things:
First, the preservation of the
States public school system, and
(2) the prevention of racial segre-
cation in the schools.
In the minds of some there
seems to be a doubt that he can
get both, though he has been sue
cessful so far in his stand for
voluntary segregation. But it is a
question now of how long the line
will hold and how soon the Gov
ernor and the schools will have to
come to grips with the real prob
lem.
North Carolina has not been as
vehement in it's denunciation and
its opposition to the Supreme
Courts ruling as some Southern
states. Characteristically our peo-
pie have refrained from intern
perate speech and have sought too
follow a policy of moderation.
This does not mean that the
State is less determined than some
other states, or that it is willing
to capitulate and go along with in.
tegration. It is in this atmosphere
that the Governor is compelled to
operate. There are forces pushing
him in this direction and that, and
his own conscience and convictions
are also involved. We do not envy
him his role of leadership in this
crisis, role which being governor,
he cannot escape.

WIDE DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION

THERE is A DIFFERENCE
There is a difference in the minds
of people. In Iowa, recently the
men at the State University de-
clared that a mulatto girl from
Texas was prettier than all the
white girls who were in the con-
test, and voted her the beauty
queen. In Alabama this week,
5000 students at State University
rioted and spattered eggs on the
dress of a colored gal named
Antherine Lucy who didn't have
any better sense than to be put up
to be the only negro coed in the
college. 1t may be necessary to
close the school because of the
disorder.

THE WINTER WEATHER
Times Gazette,
LaWrenceYille. Val

r
A few months ago some of the
weather forecasters were saying
that, this Winter would be the
coolest we have had in many years
Some of the old almanac forecast
ers even went so far as to say the
Winter would be colder than any
which we have experienced in this
century.
Apparently, the forecasters are
on the beam. Just before Christ
mas, cold wave struck many
parts of the country which sent
temperatures down to levels which
had not been reached in eight or
ten years. Lakes and ponds froze
over which had not frozen that
