I Marines Do It Again
Ik.;-Thanks to Marines stationed at the Eden-
K ton Naval Auxiliary Air Station, Chowan Coun-
I ty again exceeded its quota of 100 pints of
I bldod when the Red Cross bloodmobile was
in Edenton Wednesday of last week.
I During the bloodmobile visit 120 .pints of
Wood were donated, 71 of which were given
I By Marines and 49 by civilians. It is encour-
I aging to note that a few more civilians coop
erated in the blood program last week, for at
I the previous visit of the bloodmobile 42 civil
ians gave a pint of blood compared with 49
at the last visit.
Wood Chairman Joseph Swanner is grateful
for having exceeded the quota and expresses
his appreciation to all who in any w-ay coop
erated.
Not Too Soon
Chowan County Commissioners are to be
congratulated for awarding a contract for the
revaluation of property in Chowan County, a
project which has been delayed a number of
years due to the cost involved to have this im
•.portant work done.
‘lt is no secret that some property, both in
Edenton and in the county, is listed on the tax
Hooks at a ridiculously low figure, which just
• isn't fair to other taxpayers whose property of
lesser value is listed at a much higher amount,
fhis situation will most assuredly be remedied
yi-ben the revaluation work is completed.
If and bow much more revenue from taxes
will result from the revaluation is problemati
cal, but even if the tax rate cannot be reduced,
a better feeling will exist among taxpayers by
the fact that all property is fairly valued on
the tax books and that every taxpayer will be
paying his just share of the tax burden.
With a reshuffling of the property valua
tions, especially when it is known that no little
amount of property is valued far too low, it is
reasonable to expect that a higher valuation
should result in a lower tax rate taking into
consideration, of course, that the county is not
called upon to spend more money for various
purposes or increase appropriations more than
aj present. If more money is necessary, of
course, Mr. Taxpayer will have to fork up.
, At any rate revaluation of property has been
needed for a number of years, so that when
the work is completed all taxpayers will for the j
most part pay taxes on a more equitable basis,
which is as it should be.
Do It Or Else
Edenton is faced with a tremendous outlay
of money due to installation of a sewage dis
posal plant, a case of install one or else. Eden
ton is included among 234 towns and cities
which must sooner or later refrain from pol
luting water with sewage and if some progress
is not shown in making plans by July 1, the
State Stream Sanitation Commission will take
legal steps to force the installation of a plant.
In order to get in on the ground floor so far
as a survey and estimate of cost is concerned,
as well as pending federal legislation for fi
hancial assistance, Town Council authorized
the Board of Public Works to employ a con
cern to make a survey and estimate of the cost
of a plant.
’ The expense will, of course, be large, but
Edenton is growing, making it necessary to
JWep abreast of the times. The day is’past
when expenditures can be compared with what
“they used to be.”
Every community would be greatly improv
es If the people could get public improvements I
f&r nothing.

I HEARD & SEEN
By “Buff”
Each Wednesday night during May, at the
I VFW Home, classes are being held for expect-
I ant mothers and from what I understand,
! there’s a good crop of babies in the offing. But
J what about the expectant fathers? Or are they
expected only to buy a box of cigars and pay
the bills? Might be a good idea to hold some
classes to teach ’em to overcome nervousness,
prepare formulas or even change diapers.
o
The other day The Herald was requested to
try to find a man, so here is the information
from Charles S. Snyder of Winston-Salem:
“I met a man from your town sometime ago while
working at the pulp mill at Plymouth. He is a
steamfitter, is 64 years of age and weighs nearly 200
pounds. He wears glasses. His given name is Wil
liam, but I am not sure whether his Christian name
is Morgan or not. He likes to fish, hunt and chew
tobacco. He has a grown family and is a property
owner. He is not a native of Edenton, but I believe
he is from around Danville or Greensboro. If you
can spot him from this, please give him this note,
for I sure would like to hear from him, and your
courtesy sure will be appreciated.”
Well, we have a lot of guys here who like to
fish and chew tobacco, but if this particular
fellows drops in The Herald office I’ll give him
Mr. Snyder’s letter.
o
Just before going to press I received the fol
lowing letter:
“Editor Chowan Herald: Recently, so lam told,
a meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association and
other interested parties was held to discuss school
matters and that one of the subjects on the agenda
was, “What’s Wrong With the Edenton School?”
Well, there may be several things, real and imag
inary, wrong but those who have read the front page
of recent issues of The Chowan Herald will have
noted one thing that is significantly wrong, namely:
Too many Edenton school students are being award
ed notable scholarships and winning high scholastic
and campus honors at the colleges and universities
which they attend. Now this has been going on for
some time and should be corrected, and I am think
ing it would be well to suggest to the school auth
rities from the board of trustees on down through
the superintendent, principals and faculties that
1 they ease up a bit so as to give other schools a fair
chance. —Aristophanes, Jr.

Mayor Ernest Kehayes doesn’t like to have
long meetings of Town Council, but sometimes
he just can’t help it, and such was the case
Tuesday night. The long meetings cost hint,
for the “boys” get hungry and, good-tiatured
like he is, he invites ’fetri ih his Restaurant for a
little snack before hitting the hay. But John
Mftchener and luther Parks apparently dis
regard the word “little,” so that the first thing
the next morning Friend Ernest must figure up
his “profit or loss.”
—o
There’s a lot of good local talent in and
around Edenton, but just about the best I’ve
heard in many a moon is the singing of Lieut.
Jim Bowers, who thrilled those who attended
the Masonic banquet Thursday night. If I
could hear Jim singing at the same time a tele
vision or radio program is in progress, includ
ing any of the stars, the bloomin’ “music box”
would be turned off.
o
In this issue of The Herald appear the
names of delinquent 1955 taxpayers. That’s
one way a person has of getting their name in
the paper, although it’s costly, for in this in
stance there is a charge made. And incident
ally, the longer one waits to pay the taxes, the
higher the bill will be, for each month an ad
ditional penalty is added to the taxes. Sheriff
J. A. Bunch is in a receptive mood to collect
your taxes.
o
Like a lot of other folks, the bloomin’ park
ing meters worry the dickens out of me some
times. Either time flies faster than one rea
lizes or else the consarn meters should be cali
brated to see if they are not exceeding the
speed limit.
o
Edenton’s Rotary Club is planning to stage
a pancake and sausage breakfast in the Parish
House Wednesday morning of next week from
7to 9 o’clock. Each Ro'tarian will be given at
least 10 tickets to sell with the instructions to
either sell ’em or eat as many breakfasts as he
has tickets left. The Rotarians are trying,
like just about every other organization in
town, to raise some money, so how about hav
ing breakfast at the Parish House Wednesday
morning?
o
Local sports-minded folk will flock t!o the
Masonic Temple tonight when the Varsity Club
will hold its annual sports awards banquet. Jim
Tatum, new head football coach at the Univer
sity of North Carolina, will be the principal
speaker, and is the principal incentive for a
sell-out crowd. Only 200 plates will be ar
ranged, so that If you haven’t secured a ticket,
it’s no need to expect to buy one at the door.
It should he a very nice meeting.
