A Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States By Joseph Story 

Joseph Story (September 18, 1779 – September 10, 1845) 

was an American lawyer and jurist who served on the Supreme 

Court of the United States from 1811 to 1845. He is 

most remembered for his opinions in Martin v. Hunter’s Lessee 

and The Amistad case, and especially for his magisterial 

Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, first 

published in 1833. Dominating the field in the 19th century, 

this work is a cornerstone of early American jurisprudence. It 

is the second comprehensive treatise on the provisions of the 

U.S. Constitution and remains a critical source of historical 

information about the forming of the American republic and 

the early struggles to define its law.

Story opposed Jacksonian democracy, saying it was “oppression” 

of property rights by republican governments when 

popular majorities began (in the 1830s) to restrict and erode 

the property rights of the minority of rich men. R. Kent 

Newmyer presents Story as a “Statesman of the Old Republic” 

who tried to be above democratic politics and to shape 

the law in accordance with the republicanism of Alexander 

Hamilton and John Marshall and the New England Whigs 

of the 1820s and ‘30s, including Daniel Webster. Historians 

agree that Justice Joseph Story reshaped American law—as 

much or more than Marshall or anyone else—in a conservative 

direction that protected property rights.

DIXIELAND MUSIC IS ALIVE ON THE OUTER BANKS 

About nine years ago a group of local musicians formed “Just Playn’ Dixieland”. The idea was 

to provide the Outer Banks with a form of music that was missing from the area, Dixieland and 

Traditional American Jazz. Just Playn’ Dixieland is a 10 piece, “For Fun” group. It is truly a 

community based activity open to anybody who has a desire to keep the heritage of traditional 

American jazz music alive. The group is multi-generational and ranges in age from 17 to 89. 

Just Playn’ Dixieland readily offers their services free of charge to local Charitable, Community 

and Civic events. The band has appeared at the Outer Banks Seafood Festival, Manteo “First 

Friday” celebrations and at other venues including Jennette’s Pier, the Aquarium, Hilton Garden 

Inn, Baum Center, Dare County Center, Spring Arbor and various area churches. Playing in the 

traditional style of early jazz greats, Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory and Joe “King” Oliver the group 

maintains the tradition of a true American musical art form. Their play list is based on written 

arrangements, some as old as the “teens” and 20’s. The music is written in “Big Band” fashion 

which needs all parts to sound right. The band is not an improvising or free style Jazz band. 

Currently, openings exist for all horns and some rhythm. Especially needed are a 1st Trumpet, 

Clarinet, Tenor Banjo, Rhythm Guitar and Bass (Upright). Anticipated openings will be Keyboard 

and the need for an occasional, single performance, drummer. There are no auditions. 

The only qualification is the ability to read music (except drums) and a desire to play New 

Orleans style Jazz. High School students are welcome. Dust off those instruments that are in 

the closet and join this fun group. Weekly rehearsals are held in Kitty Hawk. For more information, 

please call Paul Lesiewicz, Manager at 256-2108.

An important element of my USDA food safety career was food labeling. I’m probably partial, 

but I’ve always believed that food labeling was the most important part of our food chain. So, I 

thought this would be a good opportunity to give a refresher on labeling features in general and 

meat and poultry labeling in particular. 

 

 

 

 

 

Meat and poultry labeling is my expertise so we’ll go there first. Meat and poultry labeling requires 

certain features including: The product name, ingredient statement (I’ll get back to this), 

handling statement (keep refrigerated, keep frozen, refrigerate after opening), the net weight 

statement,the signature line (name and address of the manufacturer, packer or distributor), and 

Safe handling instructions. 

Here’s how the labeling procedure works. USDA meat and poultry labeling is unique in that 

federal regulations require prior approval by the USDA/ Food Labeling Division before meat 

and poultry products can be sold in the U.S. or exported. The Food Labeling Division determines 

compliance with the aforementioned requirements,including the ingredient statement and 

the formulation of the product. 

The ingredient statement is a listing of each ingredient in descending order of predominance. 

Labeling that says “trace”, or “ may contain” should be avoided even if it identifies an ingredient 

that appears harmless. That type labeling most likely denotes, poor sanitation on multitasked 

equipment. 

Egregious labeling such as, Non-Dairy Creamer, with a disclaimer “may contain milk”, is deceptive, 

misleading , and legal. The disclaimer absolves the manufacturer from liability. 

You need to overcome the tug of people against 

you as you reach for high goals.

Orthodox Christianity 

The 

Treasure 

Hunter 

“Don’t do it... 

without checking 

with me first” 

Part of a Series of Articles Introducing Orthodox Christianity 

The tragedy of Western Christianity’s estrangement from the vine, painful at any season, 

I feel most acutely at this season of Great Lent. “What is Great Lent?” many Western Christians 

ask; “Why fast? What is the value of an ascetic tradition?” 

That such questions should ever be posed, is a reflection of the vast distance the Western 

confessions have drifted from the undefiled Church. As an Orthodox Christian, I struggle to 

meet such queries with anything beyond a pained silence. Where does one begin, to impart 

some inkling of the unutterable magnitude of Adam’s catastrophe? Or some intimation of 

the inexpressible depth of the ancient Church’s ascetic ethos, by which this catastrophe 

is addressed? 

In speaking with Western Christians, most of whose denominations are barely five hundred 

years old (usually much less), and whose religious culture has so departed from its roots 

that things ancient seem unrecognizably foreign, where does one seek common ground from 

which to open the conversation? 

Perhaps, a good place to start is with an assessment of the secular Western cultural landscape. 

Such a survey, of course, is likely to lead a lover of souls toward the temptation to 

despair. But it does provide a grounding in the day-to-day experience of most Westerners. 

Obviously, since Adam and Eve, our species has been plagued with proclivities toward 

darkness; and these our libertine secular culture would fatten with rich fare. Yet, undeniably, 

imprescriptibly, we were first imbued with an affinity toward Light. It is of the point 

of balance between darkness and Light, of the teetering inclination of the center of gravity 

within the deep heart of man, of which the acetic path treats. Truly, we incline in two directions—such 

is our legacy as fallen beings in a fallen world; and we stand upon the razor’s 

edge. Which proclivities will we culture? And, in the end, which way will the weight of our 

desires carry us?...into Christ?...or into darkness? Thus we define the field of combat; thus 

Orthodoxy Christianity comprehends the necessity of the ascetic struggle.

Do’s and Dont’s of carrying a concealed handgun Part 2 from last month 

6. If a permit is lost or destroyed, you must notify the sheriff who issued the permit and you 

may receive a duplicate permit by submitting a notarized statement to that effect, along with 

the required fee. Do not carry a handgun without it. 

7. Even with a permit, you may not carry a concealed handgun in the following areas: 

a. Any law enforcement or correctional facility; 

b. Any space occupied by State or federal employees; 

c. Any premises where the carrying of a concealed handgun is prohibited by the posting 

of a statement by the controller of the premises;

posted signs prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons. 

8. If you are in a vehicle and stopped by a law enforcement officer, you should put both hands 

on the steering wheel, announce you are in possession of a concealed handgun and state 

where you have it concealed, and that you are in possession of a permit. Do not remove your

Last Month’s Question: 

Do minimum wage hikes help or hurt? 

Minimum wage is not meant to support 

a family. It is intended to provide a 

wage for people entering the workforce. 

Every time the wage is increased the 

cost of living rises to meet the wage, so 

it really does not help anyone.

Mold Growth and Symptoms From Exposure 

What is mold? Molds are various types of fungi that grow in filaments and reproduce by forming spores. The term mildew is sometimes used to refer to 

some kinds of mold. There are thousands of types of mold spores and can be found in a variety of colors such as white, grey, green and black. Mold can 

grow indoors and outdoors and thrives in damp, warm and humid environments. Our environment in NE NC is highly conducive to mold growth. It can 

appear in spots and travels through the air. 

Where is it most likely to grow? Although crawl spaces, bathrooms and kitchens are the most common areas for mold growth, any moist area in the home 

can harbor mold. Drywall, ceiling tiles, carpets, furniture, ductwork, roofing, paneling, wallpaper, under sinks, and the areas around plumbing pipes can 

easily become mold infested under the right conditions. In addition, mold can result from water intrusion from areas such as pipes, roof leaks, HVAC systems 

and enclosed areas. Mold is commonly accompanied by a musty odor. Mold can be hidden under carpeting, on the backside of wallpaper, and behind 

drywall or paneling. Mold from outdoors can enter the home through open doors, windows and vents. It may also become attached to clothing, shoes and 

pets and be carried indoors. Once introduced and in the right environment, mold continues to colonize and expand. 

Can there be health issues associated with mold growth? Absolutely, particularly with children, older adults and persons with compromised immune 

systems. Molds produce irritating substances that may act as allergy-causing substances (allergens) in sensitive individuals. Furthermore, some molds 

produce toxic substances known as mycotoxins. Allergic reactions to mold are the most common health effects of mold. Allergic reactions may happen 

immediately or develop after a period of time following initial or prolonged exposure. Common symptoms of mold allergy may include sneezing, runny 

nose, coughing, wheezing, watery eyes, redness in the eyes, itchy eyes and skin irritation & rash. People with compromised immune systems can sometimes 

develop severe reactions such as fever, difficulty breathing and memory loss. 

In our next article we will explore ways to limit mold spore growth and how to treat existing growth. The best way to prevent mold growth is through the 

control of moisture. If you suspect that you may have existing growth or have experienced any of the above referenced symptoms for a period of time, it 

may be best to contact a mold professional. Unfortunately, bleach is not a successful remedy. (Submitted by Harry Cannon harrycannon3@gmail.com).

Dear Dr. Crime: I am really mad. My brother went to court for a serious matter and the jury 

seemed to be ready to believe the worse of him, regardless of the facts. I think it is because of 

our race. We are white and the jury was almost all of other races. Is my suspicion right? Is all 

the anger I see by other races claiming they are discriminated against by the criminal justice 

system right? 

Livid and fuming White Guy 

Dear Guy. What a question! And just watching the news tells us a lot of people wonder the 

same thing. I have an answer, sort of. Research shows that almost everyone, regardless of race 

or other factors, has less than conscious biases against people of “other groups”. But, recognizing 

that feeling allows people to overcome an initial bias and act in a moral way. I fear that does 

not do justice (pun intended) to a very complex set of issues, so let me point out some things 

that research shows. 

Studies show that jurors do react negatively when deciding guilt and punishment if the offender 

is disgusting in some way, even being fat, or a “hippy” or “trailer park trash” can cause this. 

“Baby faced” adults are sometimes seen as more honest than others. We judge our own sex 

harsher than the opposite sex. And research shows that when an offender is non-white he/she is 

more likely to get a harsher punishment. When police in one study stopped people for crimes 

involving purity / disgust such as prostitution or lewdness, fat offender got arrested more. The 

bottom line of the research finding and my own experience is that all groups protect their own 

and react less well to those other groups. How often have you heard “It ain’t us, it’s those other 

folks.” 

Recalling that throughout history we survive best if we cover our brother’s back and stick with 

our people. The evolutionary nature of this reaction is suggested by research showing it is seen 

in babies as young as two years!! In the final analysis, the 

criminal justice system in America is one for which we may be 

proud, and know the typical formal action is to recognize 

personal biases and act according to the law, and morally. 

There will be more here about “Those Other Folks”. If you want 

to know more without wading through scientific journals, see

Labor, Wages, and Prices by Matt Morrison 

Recently, a friend of mine commented on the trend of fast food workers demanding $15 an hour. His contention was that if no one was laid off, the food 

prices at restaurant chains would have to increase so much to support these high paying jobs that far fewer customers would walk in the door (or, well, 

drive through the human cattle chute). He was right to make such an argument - wages are only worth as much as their purchasing power. If everyone 

were paid at least $50 per hour tomorrow, poverty would not disappear, but inflation would increase, adversely affecting the entire economy. Mathematics 

dictate that profits, jobs, or prices must be changed to support raises, and public/investor opinion usually dictates that it’s not the first two. Workers 

near the bottom of the pay scale may see some net benefit from an increased minimum wage, but everyone else already making more than the new rate 

would suffer from inflation. High prices hurt everyone because they don’t discriminate based on income – if you make less than $20,000 a year, go to a 

Starbucks sometime and try asking for a discounted Frappuccino. Furthermore, wages are very slow to catch up to inflation because employers often have 

to start losing workers before raising their pay. If gas prices went to $5 a gallon tomorrow, do you think your boss would give you a raise the next day 

(or month)? If you said yes, write in to this publication letting me know where I can submit an application. If you said no, you now know what the sticky 

wage principle is. 

TJ Maxx and Walmart recently announced a wage increase for their lowest paid workers. TJ Maxx announced this would come with a concurrent decrease 

in their projected earnings. To me this demonstrates two things: funding wage increases always results in some change to prices, jobs, or dividends; 

and minimum wages always make themselves obsolete. Eventually, inflation and competitive job markets create a higher effective wage floor than what 

the government has set. Some of that inflation is caused by the minimum wage; ironically, the minimum wage contributes to making itself irrelevant and 

far below the market value of labor. Anytime someone calls on an increase in the minimum wage, you can guarantee in five to ten years they’ll be asking 

for another.

Frisco Native American Museum - NATIVE AMERICAN DRUM 

Admission to the Frisco Native American Museum covers an entire week, and one of the things 

that often brings visitors back over and over is the opportunity to beat the Hopi Wishing Drum in the entry 

gallery. For Native Americans, the drum is not merely a musical instrument. It holds great cultural 

and symbolic power representing the heartbeat of Mother Earth calling individuals and nations together. 

Natives believe the drum not only provides a means of communicating through music but also helps 

bring balance and renewal. 

Traditionally native drums are constructed of a wooden frame or are carved from a hollowed-out 

log. They are covered with deer, elk, horse or buffalo hides stretched taut across both of the openings 

and secured with sinew thongs. Some tribes in the northeastern region of the United States also crafted 

water drums. The drums were partially filled with water giving the instrument a distinctive sound depending 

on the amount of liquid filling the hollow 

The large whishing drum in the museum was crafted by drum makers in the Hopi Kiva (underground 

ceremonial chamber) and presented to museum Executive Director, Carl Bornfriend, more than 

fifty years ago when he visited the tribe in Arizona. It is a stately drum, standing almost two feet high 

and nearly two feet across its smooth surface. It’s tone is deep and mellow, resonating with a powerful 

voice. Visitors are invited to beat the drum and make a wish. Occasionally that “beat” turns into a concert 

and the sound of the drum echoes throughout the gallery. It can transport individuals back in time 

if they allow themselves to feel the spirit of the music and provides a powerful connection to Native 

American culture. The museum is operating on its winter schedule and is located in Frisco on Hatteras 

Island. For more information, visit www.nativeamericanmuseum.org or call 252-995-4440. 

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and is located on Hatteras island in Frisco. For more 

information, visit the web site at www.nativeamericanmuseum.org or call 252-995-4440.

Overcome All 

By R J Ben-Dov 

Falling like the mist of the season 

Drizzling upon our bare heads 

Like water in your garden 

The life giving rain 

Pouring on my head in sheets 

Soaking me to the bone 

God’s blessings shower me 

Soak in and sustain my life 

My soul runneth over 

With the many blessings of my life 

I have overcome strife 

I have overcome despair 

I have overcome disease 

With God and His blessings 

I can overcome all

Seeking responsible person to share 

my furnished home. 3BR, 2 bath on- 

North side of Elizabeth City, quiet, 

clean environment for the right person. 

$400/ Mo 1/2 Utilities. Easy Va 

commute, sorry no pets or smokers. 

The powers in charge keep us in a 

perpetual state of fear keep us in a 

continuous stampede of patriotic 

fervor with the cry of grave national 

emergency. Always there has been 

some terrible evil to gobble us up 

if we did not blindly rally behind it 

by furnishing the exorbitant sums 

demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters 

seem never to have happened, 

seem never to have been quite real. 

March 7th 2015 marks the 14th Annual Currituck Business 

Expo, Home Show & Job Fair. This year’s show 

promises to be the most exciting yet! The Expo is free 

and open to the public. This annual event is held by the 

Currituck Chamber of Commerce & the Homebuilder 

Association of Northeastern North Carolina. 

In recent years, we added a job fair element. This year 

to build on that element, the Northeastern Workforce 

Development Board will have training and employment 

specialists & a job search station on hand to assist those 

seeking employment . “The job fair has been a great success 

the past couple of years for job seekers and employers 

alike,” said Josh Bass, President of The Currituck 

Chamber of Commerce 

We will be hosting a lego building contest for the children 

attending with their families. The Lego building 

contest was such a hit last year, we have decided to hold 

it again this year. This brings a family fun element to the 

expo. 

We will also be holding an American Red Cross Blood 

Drive. They are in great need and would appreciate your 

donation. 

There will be plenty of door prizes, a silent auction, live 

radio remote with Max Radio and something for everyone. 

“This is a great community event where you can 

learn about all of the terrific products and services Currituck 

and the surrounding area have to offer and even 

win prizes too!” said Bass. 

So come out and join us Saturday, March 7th from 10-3 

at Currituck High School, Barco NC to learn all about 

your local businesses and community groups.

Outboard Motor Tips 

by Jake Worthington 

It is getting near the end of winter and if you haven’t had you boat serviced for the upcoming spring fishing 

season, you need to put this at the top of your list. Outboard motors run best when they are run often. This may 

present a problem for some fisherman because when it gets cold, they park the boat and their season is over. 

Hopefully you used ethanol free fuel in your boat, and you also used fuel stabilizer. Gas that is sitting in a tank 

for several months untreated can start to break down or in the case of ethanol, the fuel and the water start to 

separate. This separation causes water to build up in the fuel tank which can cause damage to the outboard 

later in the season. 

Make your appointment early in the year with your outboard mechanic. The time before and after Christmas 

are usually good times because the mechanics are not as busy and can get right on your boat. Make sure you 

talk to your mechanic about any problems you may have been experiencing with your motor. Many outboards 

require 100 hour service intervals. Just remember these are recommendations and you may have to think about 

how much you use your boat during the year. Some fishermen may only put 75 hours on their boat in one year and they think they can wait till they get 

100 hours before they get it serviced. What happens when your 100 hour service comes due right on the week of the 4th of July? I can tell you what will 

happen-- you will be on a long waiting list, and you may be without your boat for 2 to 3 weeks. Make the investment now and do your service work at the 

beginning of the season. 

During service, the mechanic will change your oil, filters and spark plugs. Have them also check your propeller, and if it is worn now can be the time to 

have it repaired and rebalanced. When they remove your propeller, they will also check to make sure no old fishing line is wrapped up inside the propeller. 

If there is, then you probably need your seals replaced. If not, you need to decide whether you want to be proactive and do it as part of an annual service- 

- just to be safe. This is the time when they can also change the lower unit oil, impellors, and water pumps. It may cost a little extra money to do it this 

way, but it can save you money in downtime and costly repairs. Some people may think it is overkill to do some or all of these suggestions. I look at it as 

protecting an investment, which is my outboard motor. Breakdowns on the water are highly inconvenient, dangerous, and can ruin a great day of fishing. 

Remember the old saying, “you can pay me now or you can pay me later”.

Religious and Cultural War with 

Islam has history in America 

by C.L. Cooke 

Ever hear of the Barbary Coast? 

 

 

 

 

The Islamic nations of Algeria, 

Morocco, Tripoli, and Tunisia located in North Africa were once terrorizing the Mediterranean and North Atlantic. These Muslim pirates attacked ships on 

the high seas and held crews for ransom. 

Hostages were tortured and treated inhumanely as Islam considered them infidels. In 1786 Thomas Jefferson was Minister to France. United States 

merchant ships sailed under the protection of Great Britain, then France prior to the American Revolution. Independence meant America had to protect 

its own interests. Jefferson was opposed to paying ransom and proposed to Congress that a coalition of allies be formed to resolve the issue. To no avail, 

the ransoms were continued to be paid. As the third President of The United States, Jefferson received a note from the Pasha of Tripoli demanding payment 

of $225,000 plus $25,000 yearly from the fledgling nation. America had started to build a Navy for coastal protection so Jefferson had some muscle. He 

dispatched a squadron of frigates with instructions to seize vessels and goods of the Pasha. The Navy and Marines would fight our battle “to the shores of 

Tripoli” as are the words in the Marine Hymn. America was founded on religious tolerance, but fundamentalist Islam condoned and mandated violence 

against unbelievers. This troubled Jefferson greatly. The War with Tripoli lasted through 1815 and once the barbarians of the Barbary Coast discovered 

the strength and will of the Americans to protect themselves and their interests, and the payments of ransom had stopped, resulted in a quick retreat by the 

pirates which established some future protection and normalcy to shipping, and travelling abroad. 

This brand of Islam has raised its ugly head again. It hit our shores with a crash on 9-11. This should bother and alert every patriotic American that such 

a global movement of hate and supremacism has declared to “see you in New York”, can become a reality. The radical brand of Islam is currently called 

ISIS or ISIL, and their leaders have clearly stated their objectives. All Christians had better check your heads. First to see if it is still attached, then, if so, 

to assess through your brain if this threat is being taken seriously by our government. Is terrorism, “work place violence” when a Muslim US military officer 

guns down fellow troops in the name of Allah? Are our decision makers a group of spineless progressives when Christians , Jews and Hindus have 

been banned from serving on a jury where a Muslim defendant is being tried! Are public schools pulling pork from the menu??? Yes in some school districts. 

We had better determine if there is an American Culture, and an American way of life, and if we are at all a nation founded on Christian principles, 

and if we have the compulsion to turn the other cheek, or draw the line in the sand and save our family and nation from death by a thousand cuts. This 

politically correct knife is cutting our throats with a tolerance that is about to become intolerable to some.. I hope it is to more of us than it seems. 

Almost forgot. Self preparedness safety is becoming more important than ever. We support gun control... use both hands!

The Great Dismal Swamp and the Underground Railroad by Wanda E. Hunt McLean 

The Great Dismal Swamp is perhaps one of the greatest wonders and mysteries of the world. The name “dismal swamp” originated in the 18th century 

for the swampy area of land that lies between the James River in southeastern Virginia (Norfolk) and the Albemarle Sound (Edenton) in northeastern 

North Carolina. Estimates of the size of the original swamp have exceeded one million acres. The swamp is presently located approximately 30 miles 

west of the Atlantic Ocean within the city limits of Suffolk and Chesapeake in southeastern VA and the counties of Gates, Camden, and Pasquotank in 

northeastern NC. As of 2015 the remaining portions of the Great Dismal Swamp are owned by private citizens, North Carolina State Parks (North Carolina 

Great Dismal Swamp State Park), US Fish and Wildlife Service (Great Dismal Swamp Headquarters), the US Army Corps of Engineers (Dismal 

Swamp Canal), the NC Department of Transportation (Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center), and Elizabeth City State University (ECSU Great Dismal 

Swamp Boardwalk Project). 

The Great Dismal Swamp should not be mistaken as part of another swamp system farther south in North Carolina covering parts of Washington, 

Tyrrell, Dare and Hyde counties on 18th and 19th century maps labeled as the Great Alligator Swamp, Dismal Swamps, Alligator Dismal Swamp, or the 

Little Dismal Swamp. Today this swampy area is divided into four National Wildlife Refuges; Alligator River, Pocosin Lakes, Swanquarter and Mattamuskeet. 

In 2003 the Great Dismal Swamp was designated as part of the Underground Railroad history through the National Underground Railroad (UGRR) 

Network to Freedom (NTF) Program-National Park Service (NPS). It is the first designated site in the country to reach into two states. And, of all of 

the swamps in the country this swamp is identified by historians and surveyors as playing host for hundreds, if not thousands, of runaway slaves. Many 

freedom seekers used this swamp as a safe haven until they could run farther south or north. Once the Dismal Swamp Canal was completed many slaves 

escaped by vessel on the canal traveling north or farther south into the Carolinas and beyond. Countless numbers of slaves built structures and lived in 

the swamp anywhere from 10 to 30 years. This is part of the UGRR story, and scientists and 

sociologists refer to this living arrangement as maroon communities. 

One of the first documented sightings of runaway slaves living in the swamp was in 1728 

when William Byrd II of Virginia and Carolinian John Lovick were hired as part of a surveying 

team to draw a dividing line between the two colonies. The task was relatively easy going until 

the team encountered the Great Dismal Swamp. During this same tour, on March 11, 1728, 

Byrd and Lovick came up on a family camped out in the swamp. In his ledger for 

documentation Byrd recorded and listed this family as mulattos who were runaway bondsmen.

The Museum of the Albemarle opens its newest exhibit focusing on the month of March as Women’s History 

Month. Since 1987, the United States has observed this month to celebrate the contributions that women have 

made to culture, history, and society. Currently on display are sewing machines and dress forms used in the Albemarle 

region. On September 10, 1846, the patent for the sewing machine was issued to Elias Howe Jr., and thus 

began a revolution in the clothing and manufacturing industry. Featured in this exhibit are sewing machines dating 

from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. 

Several sewing machines can be viewed including a Model 66K, produced by the Singer Manufacturing Company. 

It was a heavy-duty domestic sewing machine considered as an engineering masterpiece able to make a near-perfect 

stitch. One of the most expensive machines on the market, costing a month’s or two months’ wage, the Lotus 

Flower/Egyptian (Green) decal pattern ran from 1907 to 1920. Also on display is a circa 1876-1887 Wheeler and 

Wilson model. Nathaniel Wheeler and Allen B. Wilson established the Wheeler and Wilson Company in Watertown, 

Connecticut, in 1852. The No. 8 machine was designed for family use and light manufacturing. 

A Kenmore Deluxe Automatic zigzag machine, manufactured by Singer for Sears, Roebuck and Company is also 

on exhibit. The device, dating from the late 1960s-early 1970s was one of the last mechanical sewing machines 

that Sears offered. 

Dress forms were invented to make ready-to-wear clothing sizing simpler, and personal dress forms were adjusted 

to an individual for quick custom tailoring. The Ellanam (L&M) adjustable dress form chosen for display could be 

adjusted to custom-fit any woman’s shape and size and was heavily advertised to housewives in the early 1900s.

S.O.U.L.S. – A Heartwarming Community Story 

By: Harry Cannon 

(Serving Others with Understanding in Love) 

What is SOULS? The SOULS Meals Ministry is unique among groups serving our community. 

It might be said that on paper SOULS does not exist. There is no charter, no board 

of directors, no officers, no budget and officially no membership. Under North Carolina 

law SOULS is an “unincorporated association” and need not register with the state. 

SOULS is essentially a group of individuals who share a concern for certain members of 

our community who are in need. Begun eight years ago as a one-man, one-night a week 

operation, SOULS now includes some thirty teams comprised of between 175-200 dedicated 

volunteers from 20 area congregations, businesses and others serving an average of 

50 of our community persons in need nightly. 

How did SOULS begin? 

Eight years ago Vicar Craig of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church began an outreach 

ministry to the homeless in our community. His ministry included overnight shelter during 

inclement weather and the serving of sandwiches one evening a week. The sandwiches 

were provided to the ten or twelve homeless persons who regularly gathered in the park 

in front of the old library across from the Court House. Members of other congregations 

learned of Vicar Craig’s effort and volunteered to serve on other evenings and by June 

2007, a meal was being served in the park four nights a week. 

In June 2007 the meal program was relocated to the front steps of the former Junior High 

School on Elizabeth Street and served an average of twenty-five persons five nights a 

week. In October 2007 the Pasquotank County Commission graciously invited the meals 

program to move into the band room of the vacant former Middle School. Although lacking 

heat and sanitary facilities, the move indoors took the ministry out of the weather. 

The ministry was named SOULS, the acronym for Serving Others with Understanding in 

Love. Soon volunteer teams were serving an average of fifty to sixty-five persons a hot 

nutritious meal seven nights a week. Services were expanded to include the distribution of 

clothing at no cost to those in need. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2012 the reconstruction of Elizabeth Street forced SOULS to find a new home. The 

program relocated to Glad Tidings Community Church. For the first time the SOULS 

family had access to “indoor plumbing” and kitchen facilities. The downside of the new 

location move was that it was a significant distance from the center of the homeless/needy 

population SOULS sought to serve. In September 2013 the Elizabeth City Council invited 

SOULS to use the former Fire Station on Elizabeth Street. Although space constraints 

forced a discontinuance of the clothing ministry, the new location brought SOULS back to 

the geographic center of the homeless/needy population. 

Amazingly this “unorganized” group of volunteers spent some 6,000 man hours, 

purchasing, preparing and serving an estimated 18,000 nutritious, “home cooked” 

meals during the past twelve months without receiving funding. (This series will be 

continued. If you have an interest in participating, contact Angela Cole at angelabcole@ 

hotmail.com.)
