Almost In The Bag
It is encouraging to note that Edenton and
Chowan County is practically assured that a
promotional iilm will be produced. The cost
of making this film will be $3,500 and im
petus was given to the drive to raise this
amount Tuesday when the board of directors
of the Edenton Chamber of Commerce voted
unanimously to appropriate- SI,OOO for the
purpose. To date about $2,500 has been cith
er paid or pledged and on the strength of the
interest in the project. Grayson Harding has
placed an order to have the film made.
The film will be along the lines of one
shown recently in Edenton of Jamestown and
that vicinity, and is estimated to be viewed
by between 30 and 40 million people through
channels of television stations the first year
after it is produced.
The film will be a highly professional job
which can lie used to promote pilgrimages,
conventions and the ever important attention
of yfear-around tourists, which in turn will
lead to more business for everybody, and the
quickest known way to attract industry. Lo
cal people point out that Edenton is situated
between Williamsburg and New Bern, fea
turing Trvon’s Palace, and both places are
daily attracting hundreds of tourists, while
at present Edenton is being by-passed. This
film will let many people know what we have
here that is so worthwhile seeing, and its value
as an advertising medium will be difficult to
estimate.
The goal of $3,500 has not yet been reach
ed, but a drive is now in progress, sponsored
by the Edenton Tea Party Chapter of the
DAR and the James Iredell Association.
Anybody who might not be contacted and
who desires to make a contribution to this
very important project is requested to send a
check to Mrs. Ralph Parrish, treasurer of the
James Iredell Association or Grayson Hard
ing at Hotel Joseph Hewes.
It is felt that Edenton and Chowan County
have a treasure of scenes to produce an in
teresting film which should attract many peo
ple to the area. It is hoped that the sponsor
ing groups will have no difficulty in raising
the remainder of the amount necessary to
pay for the production of the film.
19 Volunteers Needed
Attention is called to a serious situation
in Chowan County which can very easily re
sult in the loss of the Red Cross bkx>d pro
gram.
Toni Ridgeway, Chairman of the Chowan
County blood program, has been informed that
if Chowan County does not donate 19 more
pints of blood the program will be dis
continued.
Mr. Ridgeway points out that the Red
Cross bloodmobile will be in Plymouth Thurs
day, June 9, at which time Chowan County
citizens can attend and the county given cred
it for the blood donated.
Due to the seriousness of the situation, Mr.
Ridgeway is appealing for at least 19 people
in Chowan County to volunteer to go to Plym
outh to donate a pint of blood each so that
the local program will be continued. He
points out the importance of having blood
available for emergencies and the hardship
which will result if the program is dropped.
Anybody who will volunteer is requested to
contact Mr. Ridgeway at Chowan Hospital
immediately or at his home, the phone num
ber being 3242. ~
Free transportation will be furnished and
if and when enough volunteers respond to
the appeal, a time to leave Edenton will be
determined.
.Chowan County can ill. afford to lose the
blood bank. sayhat it is hoped at least 19
people will volunteer in an effort to save the
program. , / *

The 1960 graduating class at John A.
Holmes High School composed a group of
very nice boys and girls, but I just can’t fig
ure out some of the girls. Some among them
wore low neck dresses and bare backs and at
the same time wore gloves almost up to their
elbows. Can’t understand why apparently
some parts of ’em were hot and some parts
cold.
o
Well, there was a mass “funeral” held
sometime Saturday night, when a group of
Herbert Bonner supporters were “buried” by
Walter Jones’ supporters at the foot of Broad
Street. The funeral must have been arranged
before the final outcome was known, for it
would have been more appropriate to bury
the Jones boys. However, Walter Jones did
carry Chowan County, so probably that was
the incentive for a “funeral”. A rather sig
nificant angle to the “funeral” is that it was
held at the foot of Broad Street most likely
because it would be seen by more people.
Signs for Herbert Bonner and Walter Jones
were also displayed at the foot of Broad
Street obviously for the same reason. All of
which should be a good argument that the
Confederate monument would be seen by
more people at the foot of Broad Street than
on the Court House Green. Anyway the
corpses who were buried might have very
aptly placed the following epitaph at the
•raves: “What profiteth a man if he wins
the cart but loses his own horse?” Anyway,
here’s one who congratulates Walter Jones
for making such a creditable run against a
man who has been in office for so long.
o
Saturday night's “burial” was taken very
good naturedly by those who were “buried”,
btit. even one of Walter Jones’ ardent sup
porters had this to say after he saw the
“cemetery”:
BURY ME DEEP
My name is Aftermath, my sire is confusion,
my dam is revenge. One could almost say my
existence is of illegitimacy as the purpose of my
life leads inevitably to nothing; begets nothing.
My consummation and coneeivement was ac
complished in this instance by an election of pub
lic officials and thusly I must assume some type
of shape, form, action, or deed. The picture on
the front page of The Herald conveys one of my
intentions, and the talk of others involved com
memorate my existence.
“What a lean and -hungry look thou hast dear
Cassius.” So be it with me. Spite, animosity,
littleness, conceit, boldness, hatred, confusion, re
venge—all of these and many others are my legs,
arms, senses, nerves, muscles veins. The victors
and the losers will make me their slave, but not
for long. They will soon cast me aside because
the godliness of humanity will make them for
get and forgive. Society will become society.
Ims is the axiom we all live by. and so I. After
math. am consoled to die just as I was born.
“When I will die find you none who weep
My last request fulfill, Bury me Deep.”

Jess Harrell, the way I get it, had a narrow
escape at Nags Head Sunday and he cart
thank his lucky stars that he’s still around.
Jess, Logan and Richard Elliott, Jr., went
fishing near the Harrell cottage, and in some
mnaner the boat capsized. Jess had a hard
time by coming up under the boat, but fort
unately all three were able to make it to shore.

Two ladies dropped in the office this week
to bid me goodbye and to say the least both
of ’em had a deep feeling of regret to leave
Edenton. One was Mrs. Eugenia Babylon,
who left for Whiteman Air Force Base in
Missouri. The other was Mrs. Jack Mooney.
The Mooney family has moved to Raleigh
and almost in tears Mrs. Mooney related how
much she regrets to leave the old town. Both
will be greatly missed, for Mrs. Babylon was
the spearhead of the Pettigrew Regional Li
brary and Mrs. Mooney has taught piano les
sons for a long time, so that severing her
connections with these youngsters caused a~
tugging at her heart which was not easy to
overcome. Then, too, the talented Mooney
family will also bd missed, for they were of
ten called upon to participate in one program
or another.. Here’s hoping both Mrs. Baby
lon and the Mooney family will soon become
acclimated to their new homes, but that they
will not forget Edenton.
