THURSDAY, AUGUST _ . 1965. Industry Creates Jobs Job creation in private industry is at a 22-year record high, and employees are earning record wages. Employment in manufacturing climbed to almost 18.1 million jobs in June, up 244 thousand from the previous month, according to figures released by the United States De partment of Labor. This is a record peace-time total of factory jobs, and comes within only 6.000 jobs of the November 194.1 all-time rec ord when the economy was at a wartime peak. These figures serve to reiterate the» sact —that private industry is the prime source of job creation, and that a favorable business climate should be maintained in order to continue to open up more jobs for a working America. In commenting on this record. Harold C. Goldstein, a labor department official, said, “We are within a whisper of the highest level that manufacturing employ ment has ever attained in the United States.” The rise in nonfarm payroll jobs since June, 1964 was 2,211,000, the biggest year-to-year increase since 1959 when the country was coming out of a recession. The average factory work week in June of 41.3 hours and average overtime of 3.6 hours were the highest since 1945. Aver age hourly earnings in June of $2.62 boosted weekly earnings by 68 cents to a record of $108.21. This was 4.5# higher than the year-earlier figure. Help Wanted More than 45,000 American troops in Vietnam! 20.000 plus shunted in and out of the Dominican Republic. X thousands in Korea, Berlin and other trouble soots! (Some 325,000 in the whole of Europe). Our Naval forces are scattered around the globe! How many more “brushfire” wars will the Commun ists have to ignite before our “limited war” forces are spread too thin to be effective? The recent Dominican action demon strated the speed with which our forces can be placed at a new scene of crisis . . and withdrawn as well. But as things stand now. forces must be kept at ready for speedy return. Not long ago the Secretary of Defense, and others, were assuring us that the United States is fullv prepared to cope with any level of military threat or con flict. More recently, Mr. McNamara is Reported to have told a group of U. S. Senators that we should he prepared to see as many as 300.000 \mericans sent to Vietnam. We are already running short of train ed men and equipment required to cope with these “brushfire” situations. We are in short supply, for example, of planes and pilots of the types and skills required in Vietnam. The Navy is plead ing *jith men due for release to extend their jjtours. Whether our limited warfare shortages are due to miscalculations by Mr. Mc- Namara and his computers is now some what beside the point. We should not in any case try to put out all the brush fires by ourselves. There are others, such as the Nationalist Chinese, who would be only too glad to help us, if only our Government would let them. Also, Soviet and Red Chinese leaders might not be so eager to stir up trouble elsewhere if their own domains were sub ject tp some harrassment. This, too, our Formosan allies are ready and eager to do. *r Indeed, those Communist arsonists had better take care. Just one or a few more brush fires may compel President Johnson tesrisbdraw from the Formosan straits those U. S. forces which have for years r eard & .Seen 1 “By Bur I 11' nw*'ll. .-.'B One of my jobs this week was to put into type the assignments at John A. Holmes High School for the opening day of school. The school assignments have been published in The Herald for many years at the opening of school and time was when I knew just about every fam ily listed. But that was not the case this year, for there are many names in the list of students which I’ve never heard of. Read over the list in this week’s Herald and see if you know ’em 1 all. Anyway, the listing is very popular and extra copies of The Herald are expected to be sold to youngsters who want to know to which room they should go and who will be their homeroom teacher. Hope all are satisfied. Then with some of the costs of children going to school now eliminated, many of us remember in past years how mothers would spend a lot of time trying to trade, sell or buy books from other children who had advanced in school. Keeping The Herald mailing list up to-date is quite a problem, especially when so many changes in address occur. Just a while back Mrs. Arnold Hill. Jr., who lives at Stafford, Va.. sent in a let ter because she was receiving her Herald about a week late. Said Mrs. Hill: “f enjoy reading The Chowan Herald each week, but it seems I’m reading the news a week late. So I checked my address on the paper and it is wrong, which no doubt accounts for my getting it a week late. Being born and raised one of the ‘Peele Clan’ of Rocky Hock. I enjoy reading the local news away from home. Hope this will straighten out the prob lem.” All of which is to remind sub scribers to notify us of a change of ad dress which will insure delivery of the paper and at the same time save the boss a thin dime on each paper when it is re turned by the Post Office due to the in correct address on the label. Though it was very hot Monday, it was “moving day” for “Dusty” Rhoades. He moved his shoe repairing equipment lock, stock and barrel, from his building on East Water Street, sending it to Colum bia, where his brother will operate a shoe shop. “Dusty” says times have changed, so that he was losing money in the shoe repair business. He is changing up his building and instead of the shoe repair equipment, he will put on a display of re finished furniture. He will devote all of his time to woodworking, remodeling, re pairing. upholstering furniture and even making new pieces of furniture from scratch. —o When we have a spell of dry weather and would like to save some rain, it might be a good idea to get Earl Smith to stage a fish fry. For several years it has rain ed when Earl put on his annual fish fry at his store in the Rocky Hock section, and it durn near came nigh doing the some thing Tuesday night for his fish fry. In fact, it poured down in Edenton just about the time the fish fry was scheduled lo begin, and some of the Edentonians thought it might be rained out. How ever. the weather man was on Earl’s side and. though threatening, no rain fell at Earl’s store. For some reason the fish fry got off to a slow start due to some cranky wood. Rev. Thurman Allred told Earl he spoke to the Man Above, but he didn’t know how much longer the Man Above would hold out. Then, too, Mr. Allred told Earl that the longer it took to get started, the greater his appetite was becoming, which meant more fish. Preacher Allred was called upon to ask the blessing and his prayer was very brief which helped along in getting a mess of fish. For once Gus Bunch was on the tail end, for instead of eating with the rest of the crowd, he was the guy who had to meal the fish—and it was a big pile of fish, too. The fish fry was a big success and it looked as though about half of the county turned out for Earl's an nual event. Cars filled all of the avail able space near the store and lined the roads in every direction for a long dist ance. Now the fish eaters are waiting for Murray Tynch’s annual fish fry—which will, no doubt ( also attract a huge crowd. \ , o A fellow wfs telling me the other day THE CHOWAN BSBALB, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THPEBPAT, AUGUST 26, IMS.

POCAHONTAS MEETING Cbbwanoke Council No. 54, Degree, of Pocahontas, will meet tonight (Thursday) at 8 o’clock. Mrs. Virginia Williams, Pocahontas, urges every member to attend, that dealing with the pub lic is a “mell of a hess.” “Many times,” he said, “a fellow has a dickens of a time to keep from ‘blowing his top’ and saying what he would like to say, but has to hold back.” Anotherin the group agreed with him, but wanted to know why it is that so many times said same person remains pleas ant with the public until he goes home and then releases some of his pent up feel ings. That’s a very good question. " ' -T -jjj -*« Jl WSSUk JOE THORUD OF Attention Nationwide Life Policyholders Nationwide has intro duced a revolutionary new life insurance plan.

Your Achievement Award Winner Letter To Editor Dear Editor: I saw last week that some of the people in Edenton have a drainage problem. Well I have to let the people know that about a year ago a certain man in Edenton ap plied for a job with the town of Edenton. This man I speak of had worked in Vir ginia for about 4 years with a company; their main job was sewage and drainage problems. This same man worked 2 years at Harvey Point base for Malone Const. Company; he was a party chief. He was the man that laid every water line run, every road and run every drainage ditch on the Har vey Point base. He could have saved the taxpayers of Edenton a lot of mouey but he didn’t have a chance. I wonder if it might be he was born on the east side of Main Street. So if any one in Edenton would like to know who the man is, I think Mr. Gardner could tell you, the taxpayer, why he was not given the job. The man they gave the job to had no experience. It is not hard to understand why, after living in Edenton, be cause it is not what you know but who you know. It is about time the citi zens of Edenton woke up to what your councilman is doing and right now it looks bad, but we are learning fast. I don’t have any idea you will print this but if you do I know a lot of people who will be grateful. Thank you, JAY HARRELL, 308 E. Queen St. Edenton, N. C. ‘Sight Saving’ Promotion Set September will be “Sight Saving Month” in Edenton. Mayor John A. Mitchener, Jr., has issued a proclama tion urging local citizens “to conserve the vital resource of good vision by learning the habits of good eye care, and by supporting research ef forts which will help all men enjoy the blessing of healthy eyesight.” Edenton Lions Club is co operating with the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, The N.
