MANY ROTARIANS
ATTEND CONFERENCE
I'M ELIZABETH CITY
Man+eo Club Participates in 27sth
District Affair Sunday and
Monday

Several hundred Rotarians of the
27Sth Districts and their guests at
tended fellowship dinner in Eliz-
abeth City Sunday night as the
annual conference got under way.
James E. .Gheen, a member of
the New York Rotary Club for %
years, spoke on the topic, "What
Do You Know" Noting that he
realized the gathering was sched-
uled for getting acquainted and
having a good time, he kept his
audience in stitches with hilarious
remarks, .interspersing them with
food for thought.
He told the some SO guests pres
emit that Rotarian is man who
is serviceable and never finds it
too much trouble to do for his fell
bowman. The Rotary Club is an
organization which gives it's mem
bers the opportunity to form
friendships, to have not too much
fun and not too much business, he
added.
He told the Rotarians that they
could do anything if they only
knew how. Everything depends on
how much you know, he indicated.
The things you take a stand
against usually turn out to be the
things you do not understand.
Any man can be a success if he
knows more about any given sub
ject than anybody else, he de-
clared. He pointed out that the
average American man does not
read enough. Statistics show that
So per cent of the Englishmen are
perusers of books, while only 1s
per cent of the people in the United
States are habitual readers of good
literature.
He argued that education is no
good if not applied. "You have to
persevere to get anywhere. He
told his listeners that following
lines of least resistance makes
both rivers and men crooked.
The Manteo Rotary Club Quar-
tet, directed by Dick Jordan, and
composed of Julian Oneto, Ralph
Swain, Lawrence Swain and John
ME Long, brought down the house
in encore after encore with modern
and barbershop-type harmony.
Jordan also delighted the audience
with renditions of his own.

monies and introduced the speaker.

CANAL CONTRACT
AT WAVES LEI 10
LIVERMAN FOR $7OC

The community of Waves, east
ernmost settlement in North Caro-
lima, has found that the way to get
things is to get represented on the
Board of Commissioners. New
member Newcomb Midget was in
strumental in getting a small ca
nal dug for a harbor for the small
craft of the fishermen, and the
county commissioners let a con-
tract this week to Sam Liverman,
the low bidder, to dig the ditch at
a cost of $500.
The Commissioners voted to in
vite the State Highway Commits
sion to attend the Pirate Jamboree
and bridge opening in Dare County
in April, and set up $3.50 to pay
for their entertainment. The Board
also went on record as opposing
the giving of endorsements to can
didates for appointment on the
Highway Commission.
One thousand dollars is to be
turned over to the Trustees of the
Community Building in Manteo to
be spent on repairs as recommend
ed by the Manteo Rotary Club.
The Board apparently got scared
of the cost involved, and the prob
able political implications of the
re-valuation due this year, and will
ask the Representative to get ii
postponed until next year. 1t was
ordered that property at Kitty
Hawk Beach which has suffered Sc
heavily from beach erosion be re-
duced in value from $500 to $500
or on this basis under the old valu-
alton.
Gus Huffman of the NPS was
asked to represent Dare County in
the Governors Safety program fol-
car inspection.
It was ordered that a piece OF
property at Wanchese, formerly
owned by the late A. T. Williams,
but taken over for taxes several
years ago, be decided to his SON
DAILY Williams, for the sum OF
5000.
