that everything you ever heard
or did. comes TO mind so clearly
that you feel you are back again
and quite youthful" hence I de-
cided to record some stories and
legends Of the Eastern Shore of
Virginia. I regret this section of
Virginia is not as well known to
the average Virginian as other
sections. One of my fellow East
ern Shoremen says, that for the
Eastern Shore to get recognition
from Virginia for what she was
and is and has, seems to be as
difficult as for Virginia to get
recognition from North Carolina
ard Massachusetts as to where
this country Of ours really
started.
According TO the Early His
tory Of the Eastern Shore Of Vir-
ginia. by Jennings Chopper
Wise. Owing to nearly three
centuries Of isolation. the popu-
lation OF this section remains
purely English in origin
AS We know. the Eastern Shore
consists of Accomack and North
amptOn counties. located between
the Chesapeake Bay and the At
lantic Ocean; however. many
people refer to it as any of the
counties on the coast. A few
years ago I read of another err
ror which occurred as to the
whereabouts" of the Eastern
Shore. A request for aid to a per-

found to be Temperanceville.

Shore are easily distinguished

Occohonock. Machirongo, Pungo-
league. Wachapreague. Nassa-
wadox and Assateague.
In the court house of North
ampton county are records dat
ing back to 1852 without a break.
The old court house. now the
home of the Woman's Club, was
built in 1871. The specifications
required it to be 10 x Is feet in
size. with chimney on the out
side. and to be built of brick
laid up in Flemish bond. When it
proved too small for the growing
population, the old building was
ieased as a store for one dollar
a year. on the condition that the
lessee would put a new roof on
1t, and the lease was to last as
long as the roof lasted and the
rent was paid. With a view to
prolonging his lease, the lessee
is said to have soaked the shin
giles in linseed oil, and for more
than a hundred years the build
ing remained in the possession
of the leSsee's heirs!
Among the old churches on the
Eastern Shore are St. George
Episcopal Church, Pungoteague,
established in 1861. Hungar's
Episcopal Church, Bridgetown,

HUNTING

Small screws and stuff have a
habit Of disappearing when you
are cleaning and oiling a fishing
reel for storage. But the situa-
ton can be kept in hand if you
take a few precautions before
you start to work. Get hold Of a
board and scribe a circle the
size of your reel On it. AS you
begin to take apart your reel
place each part on the circle.
An indentation would help hold
it in place, or you can use cello
plane tape. Now you'll have
every nut and screw in reach as
you need it, and there'll be no
more hunting on hands and knees
for fishing equipment parts.
When the Little Woman is do
ing her nails, take careful notice
of where she stores the emery
boards. Then when she's out
shopping. borrow a few. Why take
this risk? Well, there's nothing
quite like an emery board for
sharpening fishing hooks and
keeping them in fighting con-
dition. Get the point?

BUSINESS EXPERTS ARE always
turning out earnest tones on "How To
Succeed" stressing the sad fact that
only by hard toll, sweat and nose-to-the-
grindstone perseverance can we hope to
get ahead. You have to make your own
breaks, they warn; there's no such thing
as luck.
So its alsUGys a pleasant relief to
run across a case that proves them all
sUrOng! 1t makes life ittle jOHier to
knOlC that there's still some luck in the

For instance, take Pamela Tiffin.

advertisement for the Irish Airlines, and
said that the girl in it was just the type
they had in mind.
''Well, you could have knocked me
down with feather!'' Pam rummaged
in her handbag and brought out
creased newspaper page. 1--WE carried it
with me ever since Il was the girl who
posed for that Irish Airlines ad!''
Naturally Pam got the job, and on
the strength of her showing, Paramount
cast her in Summer and Smoke; and
then Billy Wilder snatched her up for

Well, thought PANS story was
pretty cute one. But when retold it to
some of my dissolute journalist and
press-agent friends, they insisted that
they could match it for sheer chance and
coincidence.

miniature plays, and perhaps they'd best
