m, >- ** v "‘’ SECTION TWO Wilborne Harrell The Roundup When will people in high places learn that their priv ate. lives is in the public domain? They may yearn tor privacy, but its lack is the price they have to' pay for being a public figure. The tempest in a teapot that the White House kicked ,up Over the news coverage of daughter Luci’s forthcoming wedding, in my opinion, was all uncalled for. It seems that a certain news gather ing source scooped certain aspects of the affair before it was intended for release. Now I understand that this same source has been ban ned from further participat ing in covering the wedding. This is beneath the dignity of the White House. Wheth er the President likes it or not, he, his whole family and their activities belong to us— me, you, we Americans. You can’t like or love anyone who keeps you at arm’s length There must be a warm camaraderie between a lead er and his followers. No soldier will willingly follow a commander for whom he has no respect or love, and no American will long re spect or love a President who draws a circle around the White House.

STREET girl with hair flowing nearly to her waist. The glory of woman hood is her hair, but they seldom let much of it grow to any length nowadays. When the space program first began, I was an avid TV and newspaper observer of all that took place be tween blastoff and splash down. Recently I have no ticed a lessening of this in terest. We are living in an age where people quickly become surfeited or blase about anything, no matter ho w startling or world shaking. It isn’t too much to say that the time will soon come when a flight to the moon or anywhere in outer space will attract as little attention as a conven tional jet flight across coun try does today. We are cer tainly living in a fast and complicated period of his tory. but it is an interesting period for which I am glad I am alive to observe. Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina 27932 Thursday, July 28, 1966. Our Yellowed Pages AS FOUND IN THE FILES OF THE CHOWAN HERALD 30 YEARS AGO Right much confusion pre vailed regarding inspection of watermelons shipped from Chowan County. R. L. Peck, in charge of watermelon in spection, reported that not a single inspection had been made although four boat loads had left the county dock. i Considerable interest in the law regarding the inocu lation of dogs against rabies was apparent in Edenton when nine dog owners faced Justice of the Peace W. S. Summerell on charges of failure to have their dogs inoculated. The first of a series of Ro tary meetings to be held in the rural section was held at Cross Roads under the sup ervision of the Chowan Heme Demonstration Club. Miss Ruby Lenty of Salis bury, N.

Edenton took the lead in the second half of the Ber tie-Chowan Baseball League. John A. Holmes was elect ed commander of Ed Bond Post No. 40 of the Ameri can Legion. The 31st gnnual picnic of the Masonic Picnic Associa-' tion was held at Tuscarora Beach near Winton. A great deal of excite ment prevailed at the Bridge-Turn Filling Station when a quantity of gasoline on the pavement caught fire. The fire occurred as Robert Skiles, tank wagon driver, was filling the station’s gas tanks. The only reason that could be given for the blaze was that A. J. Mason scrap ed his heel on the pavement and a spark caused by a protruding nail set fire to the gasoline. The bank night prize at Taylor Theater had .risen to S3O. The Rocky Hock Young Ladies Club voted to have a club picnic at Virginia Beach on August 14. Frank Parrish of the U. S. Navy left from San Diego, Cal., for a three year tour in China. Os special interest to ; housewives in Edenton was the celebration of the first anniversary of J. A. Curran’s Grocery. Joseph Bowser, colored, whose age was reported to be near the century mark, died at his home on the old Hertford Road, the victim of a heart attack. 20 YEARS AGO Despite efforts of a com mittee from the Chamber of Commerce, which had enlist-' ed the aid of Congressman Herbert C. Bonner, to have the Edenton Naval Air Sta tion continued on a perma nent basis, Comdr. Bert Creighton, commanding of ficer of the base, received orders inactivating the base, so that plans went forward to remove materials as rap idly as possible so that the base could be officially closed by August 1. T. J. Crooks, civil engineer for the naval air bases, informed members of Town Council and other interested citizens that he felt the Navy De partment would agree to lease the entire base or any part of it to the town for any use it might deem ad vantageous at a nominal lease which ''would be re vocable. Directors of the Edenton Chamber of Commerce en dorsed an Englehard-Colum bia-Edenton star route and agreed to cooperate in every way possible for the realiza tion of this improvement in the mail service. At a special meeting of Town Council a tentative tax rate of $1.50 per SIOO prop erty valuation was adopted, the same as the previous >ear. The U. S. Veterans Ad ministration established a contact office in rooms in the C’lizens Bank Building to serve the needs of veterans in this area. The office was in charge of Warren G. Knight. County Agent C.

Odell Matthews of Winston-Salem. Perry will act as liaison officer between new car and truck dealers in this area and NCADA and the Na tional Automobile Dealers Association. He will also head a coun ty-wide membership cam paign for both organizations in the fall. The world is crammed with brave men who are afraid of their wives.
