THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22. 1960.
Many Laying Down
It will be noted that another visit of the Red
Cross bloodmobile is scheduled for Edenton Fri
day, September 30, when the unit will be sta
tioned at the armory from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M.
It is to be deplored that Chowan County has
not padticipated in this program as it should. At
the last visit only about half of the quota of 95
pints of blood was donated, and in previous visits
the county has also come up short.
Facts show that of what blood has been do
nated. about 90 per cent of it came from Eden
ton citizens and further that about 90 per cent
of blood used was for people living outside the
corporate limits of Edenton. In other woids.
people living in the rural section of the county
and Negroes as well, have not participated in the
program as they should. This is not as it
should be, sp that an appeal is made for more
rural people and Negroes to volunteer to donate
a pint of blood when the bloodmobile arrives on
September 30. It is hard to understand why so
many people halk at donating blood when it is
so vital in relieving suffering and even saving
lives. With a county population of about 12.000.
it is almost inconceivable why not as many as
105 of them are not willing to join in this im
portant program of blood giving..
To give blood is painless and at the most re
quires not over an hour of one’s time, which in
cludes partaking of refreshments after the blood
donation. The program is very important, for
when blood transfusions are necessary there is
no time to search for a donor and then not know
if the blood will match. There is no person who
is assured that he or she will not be the next
one to need blood for a transfusion so that it
should behoove more people to consider partici
pating in the program. Chowan County should
easily donate 105 pints of blood and if seriously
considered, The Herald believes at least that
many people will turn out to give a pint of blood
in this important program.
Where Is The City Beautiful?
“Not one American city larger than a village
is of consistently fine quality, although a few
towns have some pleasant fragments.” writes
Prof. Kevin Lynch of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology after five years of studying how
people see their cities.
Urban dwellers around the world will under
stand what he means if they stop to think a
minute. The glamour of the distant Manhattan
skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, Thames-side
Parliament buildings, or the Palazzo San Marco,
is unmistakable. But immerse a resident in the
environment that is the background for these
cityscape gems and you set him adrift in visual
surroundings of uneven quality. Ugliness, mis
fitting neighborhoods, hidden beauties of terrain,
crowding*, the feeling of being lost—too many of
these qualities dominate the modern city.
Professor Lynch initiated a study in 1954
which sought to elicit from residents of Boston,
Jersey City and Los Angeles just what they saw,
liked or disliked in their cities.
Using this information as a guide, he esti
mates that "there may be no more than 20 or 30
cities in the world which present a consistently
strong image.”
No city is built in a day. Nor can most be
constructed with the complete coordination ac
corded capitals such as Brasilia, Chandigarh and
Canberra. But the role of long-range master
planning in channeling city growth is plain.
Without it. more and more people in coming
generations will have less and less urban beauty
to live with.—Christian Science Monitor.

U. S. Senator John F. Kennedy., because of his
visit last week to North Carolina, was very much
in the news. Besides, almost every day some
sort of letter is. received in the interest of Demo
cratic victory for President in the November
elections. Most of these 1 letters to the editor are
signed by Senator Kennedy himself and about
the only thing I hold against him is that his
signature is just about as legible as mine. In
fact I couldn’t recognize his signature if his name
hadn’t been typewritten just below it.

Personal Item: Just about half the town turn
ed up at Wallace Friday night to see the Edenton
Aces wallop Wallace-Rose Hill’s Bulldogs to the
tune of 30-6. Next Friday night the Aces take
on the Wiiliamston Green Wave at Hicks Field
at 8 o’clock. Come out and watch the game and
also see and hear the band’s performance.
o
And speaking about the football game, a little
codger came on the field while the Edenton boys
were being congratulated. “Who won?” asked
the boy. Ohe fellow in uniform then asked the
boy if he knew who was playing. “Yeah,” the
boy said, "Yo’all.” r

Gene Carpenter has resigned as equipment
manager for the Norfolk & Carolina Telephone
& Telegraph Company to accept a similar posi
tion in Chicago. Gene’s been in Edenton about
three years and has made many friends. He’s
planning to leave Saturday for Chicago and in
getting leady for the trip he'll be unable to call
on all his iriends to bid them goodbye. “I feel
reluctant to leave Edenton,” says Gene, “and
want to say goodbye to all my friends, many of
whom I'll never forget.” Best of luck in the
Windy City, Gene!
A small and insignificant collar button can be
a mighty important part of a man’s dress, which
I found out the other night. It was necessary
to wear evening clothes for an Eastern Star
meeting and for the life of me I couldn’t find
a lowly collar button. Thinking the bow tie
clasp would hold my collar together, I braved it
to a dinner in honor of some distinguished guests,
but about the time I began gulping down some
good food, the’ bloomin’ tie pulled out of one
side of the collar. .1 called about half a dozen
people in an effort to find a collar button, but
they either had none or were not at home. In
desperation I called John Ross.. He has a lot of
stuff which was in D. B. Liles’ store when Mr.
Liles closed shop many years ago and in that
pile of antiquated jewelry he came across two
solid gold collar buttons. "How much are they?”
I asked John. Well, he looked on a tag which
read 85 cents each. “You couldn’t buy such a
collar button for two or three times that price
now. if I hadn’t had it in this pile of old stuff,”
said John. And to think that an ordinary bone
collar button costing a few cents would do the
job just as well. Methinks the next time I wear
that shirt I’ll not wear a tie. I’d rather folks
see a three buck collar button than a 50-cent tie.

Announcement is made that Medlin Belch has
given up his used car dealership and is now
working as a salesman for the George Chevrolet

many friends in his new position.

Elton Forehand, president of the Edenton Ro
tary Club, at last week’s meeting made a few
brief remarks about the damage done by Hurri
cane Donna. ‘Two bridges are gone,” said El
ton, “one was the Norfolk Southern Railroad
bridge, and if Bill Rosevear opens his mouth,
you’ll see another bridge missing.”
o
Speaking about Hurricane Donna, some idea
of the mess she caused in Edenton is reflected
in the amount of trash hauled away by the
Street Department. Since, the hurricane, Mon
day of this week a week ago, the Street De
partment has, up to Tuesday night of this week,
hauled away 357 loads of trees, stumps, limbs,
leaves and other trash left in the wake of the
storm. This does not include the garbage col
lections. The mess is not yet cleaned up, but
it is hoped everything will be hauled away by
th°’end of this week. If ever a group of men
hud a big job to do, it was the Edenton Street
Department and, except in a very few cases,
the men have been highly complimented for .the
