Welcome News Encouraging word was received early this week from E. A. Hughes, Jr., director of Motor Transportation of the North Carolina Utilities Commission. No little concern developed in Edenton last week when it was learned that Carolina Coach Company contemplated changes in bus schedules which would have affected bus trav el in Edenton. The proposed change would have given Edenton only one bus from Nor folk south and one from Windsor north daily thus eliminating two buses coming through Edenton. The proposed change very definitely would have caused hardships for many bus traveler: and a number of Edenton merchants and busi Dess people would have been vitally affected due to receiving various items byway of th< buses. r Town Council, the Chamber of Commerce and private individuals, upon learning abou' the proposed changes, immediately registered protests to the bus company and the N. C Utilities Commission. The Utilities Commission subsequently con tacted the Carolina Coach Company, and the latter agreed to leave the bus service througl Edenton substantially the same as it is now The proposed changes were scheduled to g< into effect June 26, but instead the bus com pany has agreed that only minor adjustment, will be made which will change only a fev minutes in the times buses will arrive and de part. It would have been a step backward, so fai as Edenton is considered, to lose two bu: trips. The change would have been especially embarrassing at this time when new industrie' are in the course of construction, for wher completed the probability is that quite a fev employees would use buses to and from work It is encouraging, therefore, that the bu: company has changed its plans, so that th< service in and out of Edenton will remaii about like it is now. It is encouraging, too, that the Chamber o Commerce and Town Council, as well as ? few individuals, were quick to sense the in convenience the proposed changes would cause and that they lost no time in registering theii protests. Without these protests, the change: would, most likely, have been made and Eden ton would have been the loser. The Tourists’ Dollar From The Biddle Survey (N.Y.) With the recent statement by the presiden' of the American Society of Travel Agents that tourism had replaced wheat as the number one producer of revenue in international trade tourism may be said to have turned the corn er it was long heading toward. The U. S., with its affluent travelers, re mains, of course, the key target of foreigr tourism publicity. The whole area of tourist travel has been continually expanding—the Mediterranean countries have in recent year: been coming more and more into the act, for one example And many a tiny country— with the aid of Madison Avenue advertising agencies—has been advising prospective trav elers via mass media of the joys of its sandy beaches, ancient ruins and dark forests. Actually the year is already seen as a peak one for overseas tourism. One more recent development—spurred in part by the U. S government itself through promotions overseas — has been the coming of foreign tourists to the shores of our own New World. In the first quarter of 1964, over 140,000 Come —almost 15)4% more than came in the comparable period a year earlier. Mexicans. British and Japanese led the crowds. And more—drawn by the New York World’s Fair and other * genuinely impressive sights of America—will be coming in the mild weeks |head. As far as Americans go, numerous develop ifed the travelers to* travel Most important 4 t J4eard & 1 Seen BjßuH Ever) - before the last section of The Her ald is printed this week, an error was discov ered which causes me to apologize to John etta Davenport and Florrette Byrum. On page three of the second section appears the pictures of six Chowan County girls who last week attended Girls’ State at the University of North Carolina. For some reason the names of two girls are transposed. Johnetta Davenport’s name is under Florrette Byrum’s picture and Florrette’s name is under John etta’s picture. It’s another case of an editor wanting to hit the ceiling, but too jate to do anything about it except to express regret that the error occurred. o With Father’s Day falling on next Sunday, June 21, the Rev. Walter E. Isenhour of Tay lorsville, N. C., has sent me the following Father’s Day poem: GOOD FATHERS We need good fathers in our homes Whose hearts are full of grace, Who, by their love and earnest prayers. Make home a pleasant place; Who set examples that are clean For all their folks to see, And long to be the noble men That God would have them be. We need good fathers in the church To occupy the pews, And 1 help their fellow-members seek The things they ought to Choose; Whose lives are such from day to day, Wherever they may go, That others looking on may say, “The Lord they surely know.” We need good fathers o’er the land Who live and tell the truth, And have at heart along life’s way The welfare of our youth; Who want to keep our country free On ocean and on sod, And help their fellows on their way To heaven and to God. Such fathers then deserve our prayer^ Our honor and respect. And never should they suffer from Our spirit of neglect; . And by the living grace of God We ought to boost them on. Until their battles all are fought And Glory’s Day shall dawn.- :—o Town Councilmen are not the only ones who get treated to ice cream after their meet :ngs. Members of the official board of the Methodist Church had the same experience following their last meeting. Mayor John Mitchener usually invites his fellow Council men to his drug store following Town Coun :il meetings and after the Methodist board meeting last week Tony Miley invited mem bers to Hollowell’s Drug Store, where they all filled up on ice cream. The only differ ence is that if Mayor Mitchener fails to say anything about it, some member of Town Council will pipe up, “Well, let’s go and eat >ome ice cream.” o Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Wood will soon be mov ing to their home along Pembroke Creek, but low rates for transportation, and the efficiency of that transportation; the increasing numbers of students and retirees wanting to fulfill dreams to see the world, arid the more liberal attitude by industry on vacations and time off. The last point is an important one: A re ent survey found more than 50% of compa nies polled now give at least one week vaca tion to employees with a year or less of ser vice. All firms surveyed do not give less than two weeks vacation to those with three or more years service, and 97% of the firms polled gave three weeks or more to those with 15 vears tenure; over half of these firms gave four weeks vacation to those with 25 years service. Much of tourism’s gain, therefore, has been helped by these changing attitudes. For our own country receiving tourists and for those nations abroad to which we Americans travel, the tourist’s buck is a mighty big one. T*he tourist is there to spend. Somewhat typical travelers to Greece this Tune —husband and wife—plan expenditures of aver $2,500 together and for a 3-week tour. Most of this money is actually spent through a travel agent in the U. S. The couple has already put out $2,000 to cover transportation (by an American airline), hotels (booked via their agent), many meals, a 7-day cruise through the Greek isles. Qae other point about tourism—this one of fered by a specialist on foreign trade —is that all U. S. money spent abroad must eventually come back to our own shores in the form of trade. This is, after all, the only value of the U. S. bucks—to exchange them for U. S. goods. - . In all, tourism not only makes the tourist dl r 'i THE CHOWAN HERALD. EPEN'TUH. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. JUNE Is. 1984. Mrs. Wood, at least, has been making herself acquainted with the surroundings. Being so close to the creek, she de cided to try her hand at fish ing the other day. And she caught a fish the first one she has caught since living in Edenton. Os course, Jack Mc- Mullan, her neighbor, spends quite a lot of time fishing back of his home and, no doubt, gave a little coaching. Jack, of course, sits in a chair while he fishes, but the Woods plan to build a pier back of their home, which will also make fishing a little easier. o Edenton Jaycees got a good spread in the News and Ob server the other day. The ar ticle, written by Frank Rob erts, was high in praise of the Edenton Jaycees for the work they have done and are doing. And with the various projects on the program, the life of not only the Jaycees but the entire community will be enriched. To all of which here’s an “Amen.” o Here’s one who, with Bill Cozart, attended a press con ference over the radio' ThUfs day afternoon. Ralph Scott of Alamance County spoke in be half of Richardson Preyer for Governor, after which he answered questions asked by the two newspaper fellows. Mr. Scott was high in praise of Mr. Preyer and his remarks followed by a few hours an ad dress by Candidate Dan Moore at the Court House. With both Preyer and Moore conducting a feverish cam paign for votes, it isn’t a bad idea for all voters to hear and ponder what both have to say, Chowan County Committee For Lake EDENTON, N. C. Dear Fellow Democrat: The Chowan County Committee for Lake for governor wouh like to take this means of expressing their appreciation to yoi for your contribution and support of Dr. Lake in the May 30tl democratic primary. All of us, of course, are disappointed that we did not win, bu we can enjoy the satisfaction of having carried our county so the man we felt best qualified to lead our state. , As you know Dr. Lake has endorsed Dan K. Moore as tb candidate who comes closer to his program for good govern ment for North Carolina, ftlany of Dr. Lake’s Chowan Count; supporters have joined him in his support of Judge Moore, am the Lake committee would like to have your support also. I we can get Dr. Lake’s supporters to vote for Dan K. Moor on June 27th, we will still achieve our primary objective o electing the man we fed will best serve our state. * We thank you again for yoiir support and past efforts so Dr. Lake, and strongly encourage your support of Judg ..p •* - i>- - -a.--' - ♦-rv v PROUD COLLECTION —Jack Small, an American who has lived in the Philippines since just after the war, displays his signed collection of MacArthur stamps.

Os course, Dr.' Lake’s followers in the first primary election are being wooed by both candidates. LETTERS TO ~ THE EDITOR CRIME IS THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEM TODAY Dear Editor. It is my firm conviction that crime is the number 1 problem today, and unless the citizens of the United States immediately, devise some means, or have some approach to the problem, With the view of improving the crime rate, it will only be a mat ter of time before conditions in this country will be similar to that which exists in Africa. This might be an extreme view, but you have only to read the papers from day to day,, and see the number of crimes com mitted, in various degrees, and by all ages of people, especially the young people. Both the parents of young peo ple, largely, are working, which to a certain extent leaves the children to roam at will, getting into mischief, and being led by those who do not care for the welfare of this country of ours. I think it is time, in fact it is we think, for the Con gress of the U. S. to see that the laws are changed, or made in such away that the enforce ment officers have an even break when trying to enforce the law against crime, and also the law enforcement officers should make an extra effort to decrease crime, and the news papers and magazines should bring what pressure they can to enlighten the public, and create an atmosphere among the citizens, to mobilize every citizen in each community to make this their number 1 project, and every preacher of every denomination should work together to stamp out crime, preaching from the pulpit weekly, organizing their [members in each city and ham let. The pressure from Con-! gress, the law enforcement de- 1 partment,. the newspapers and| magazines, each and every preacher, with, these four work ing together, Crime Will Go Down. We used*to think of crime in { Chicago, New York, and Whsh-i ington, D. C., but today it is in | every hamlet, and I personally, appeal to you to do what you' can, so we will have a Country that we will be proud of. An expression from you with any comments will be personally appreciated by me, Kind regards, DON G. MATTHEWS, SR. Hamilton, N. C. I Red Cross Drive Will Begin June 20 Continued from Page 1, Section 1 j raising drive. Our goal for this year is $2,500. This money will| provide the many services that are needed in our county with a portion going to national head quarters to help cope with the many disasters that ocouf each year in areas that might not be as fortunate as we have been, or if needed this same jn° n ey could come back to our county in the form of disaster relief. “But we don’t have to experi ence a disaster to benefit from, our local Red Cross program.) Let’s look at a few facts. Let’s examine a few of the things made possible by your dona tions for the past year: “I.—Blood used last year by local hospital, 267 units. This blood was provided by the Tide water Blood Center at no cost to our hospital and no cost to pa tients who received it. Total value for* this blood based on the minimum commercial cost of blood, $25 per unit amounts to $6,675. “2.—Persons trained in first aid and water safety last year, over 200 persons. How many drownings was prevented or serious injuries treated? How do you put a value on this com- . -H liTfTßfr munity service? “3.—Numerous telephone vyires and letters to members of opr armed forces dealing with emergencies at home on family > matters. “4.—Loan of grants 4o mem bers of our armed forces or other weary travelers when they had no other place to turn. "To ,make these and many other things possible, we need your help. We have no' other source of income. We have no paid workers in our chapter. If we are to operate for the bene fit of our community ai*>d man kind the world over, we must have your support. Please be generous when our volunteer workers call at your door.
