Somewhat dazed from the shock of being knocked from his bicycle. the slightly deaf carpenter said he was told that a motorcycle officer appearing on the scene was named Meads and that the officer failed to take the number of the automobile that had struck him in cutting the corner. I have known Mr. Swindell ever since I have been on the police force." Officer Meads said last night, "and he has known me. I knew nothing of the accident until I heard about it later.

The officer who happened along afterwards was State Patrolman Gib: son who took no action because he was told at the time that the matter had been settled between the parties."

But today a now kind of show boat -the cn'y one of its kind in existence rain inn favor vitii cntertainmcnt-ioving residents of the Currituck peninsula. When Curriluckcrs speak of the show boat nowadays, they are referring to the Virginia Dare show teak transient service Hooting motion picture tlieatrc.

which is tied alongside the A canai bank just south of the bridge nt Coinjock. The Virginia Dure show boat was originally at Mnntco and opI ted there during May, June and Ju y.

I That gave E. H. Raj mend. manaI gcr of the show boat, an idea. He I was having a struggle to malic operating nses at Manteo in I competition with the established theatre there.

But at Coinjock there would be no competition within 28 miles and the show boat should easily make its own way. So it was moved to Coinjock and tied up in the canal there. Other factors considered in making the move were the depth and the calmness of the water there, the availability of iow-priced electricity, and a paved road leading to within a few feet of tinfront door of the show boat. The Virginia Dare show boat, quite appropriately and co-inciuentally, gave its first show in Coinjock en August 18. the anniversary of the birth of Virginia Dare.

It was well received and the show boat has gained steadily in popularity since that date. Shows arc given only on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. There are two shows each night? one at G.30 o'clock and one at eight o'clock, i The first show is for the men in the WPA camp, and the second it open to the public. The admission is 10 cents lor the campers, five cents for children and 13 cents for adult non-campers. The show boat is proving to be self-supporting at these prices.

The show boat runs Class A and talking pictures. To date it has shown no first run pictures, but Manager Raymond says some are coming in the near future. Crash at Sliuwhoro? Just An Acrhh'iit Or Giiii-FijililV Whether tne wreck of a 1936 Ford coach at the hichway carve at Shawboro Monday night was just an accident, or the culmination of a running gun-fight in a boot-leg war. is a question that still remains open. Circumstantial reports that the wreck had occurred after pursuers had shot the tires off the car.

appeared contained when one who viewed the wreck Tuesday morning reported that holes, apparently caused by a bullet, could be observed in the back of the car and in one of the tires. Residents of the neighborhood say. however, that they heard no shots, and that the car had been occupied by negroes, who, apparj ently had been drinking. The car. which evidently had been traveling at a high rate of speed, left the pavement just north of the Shawboro curve and tore down between 60 and 75 feet of beard fence in front of the home of Charles D.

Morgan. The Ford was badly damaged, several pieces of board being driven i through the radiator shield.

ABOUT DOGS Ey L. YV. M1DGETT The Pekingese The Pekingese formerly was the sacred dog of China. This dog, sometimes called the Imperial Lion IX)t. 'J he exact date of the origin ol the dog is debatable, the aijicst known record of its cxisr nee being traceable to the Tang of the eight)! century.

However. the very oldest strains only by the Imperial famy) kept pure, perhaps the nore so because the theft of one these sacred dogs was always punishable by a most horrible death. The introduction of the Pekinese into the western world occurred as a result of the looting of Imperial palace at Peking by the British in 1860. It is a matter of history that four Pekingese were found behind some draperies in the apartments of the Aunt of the Chinese emperor. It is said that throughout the palace the bodies of many more of these dogs were found, the Chinese having killed them rather than have them fail into the hands of the Caucasians.

The four Pokes were taken back to England where one was presented to Queen Victoria. Lord Hay and tiic Duke of Richmond kept the remainder and bred them. The transplanting of the Pekingese into western soil has in no way changed his personality 'dogs do have He cornbirrs marked dignity with an exasperating stubbornness which 911y serves to endear him more his owners. lie is independent aitd egal in every gesture jt woulfl be the greatest of indignities to attempt to make a "lap dog" out of him. He fears not even the devil himself and has never been known to turn tail and run.

Incidentally, he has plenty of stamina and is very easily cared for. The dog pictured above is Owl of Joiland, a very good type Pckc. Owl has champions galore in his pedigree, among them International Champion San-Dec of Hcsketh (his grand sire), Tri International Champion Cha-Ming Yin Hsing (champion France, Spain, and America), Champion Romeo of Heskcth, etc. Any one of the dogs mentioned would eost. well up in the thousands of dollars, believe it or not.

There are not many Pckcs in town. The writer owns Owl of Joiland, Ashton-More Armah 'an imported matron who recently gave birth to three male pups, and Chang of Tien Hia. Of course nont of these dogs answer to their "high faiuting" names. To me they arc Owl, Trixic, and Bigga Boy. Miss Maude Sanders has one of the pups sired by Bigga Bov, and I believe this is the only ether Pckc in town.
