SUBSCRIPTION KATES: One Year (outside North Carolina)-.—.—53.50 One Year (In Nortn Carolina) ——s3.oo Six Months : -sl-75 THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1966 Farmers Aging Out The soil isn’t ageless. It can wear out, if it isn’t helped along a bit. It's much the same with the people who tend the soil. They wear out, too. And even careful living can’t halt the march of the years. ” Two out of five farmers today, accord ing to the latest census figures, are 55 years of age or older. -This in itself might pose a problem. Young blood isn’t being pumped into iafiii veins as it once was. But what of the farmers who are-being slowed by advancing age? Do they plan to work as long as they can change a tractor gear? Or will they finally desert the fields and prop up their heels? Aa interesting study of the plans of farmers bordering on retirement age was conducted recently by the Economic Re search Service, in cooperation with South Dakota State University. The results might suggest the sentiments of farmers in other areas, including North Carolina. Perhaps a startling indication to be drawn from the study is that few farmers have given much thought to retirement, and fewer still have made definite plans. Interviews, which were conducted among 575 farm operators in eastern South Dakota, revealed that only 25 per cent of the farmers had definite retire ment plans. Some 60 per cent expected to retire, but had no definite plans, and 15 per cent said they would never re tire. The current financial status of the farmer, and his anticipated income at age 65, bore significantly on retirement plans. The study showed that those in the high er echelons of income had made more concrete plans than had those on lower levels. None of them, however, will last for ever. And while they make plans to re tire. America must make plans to replace them. Murder In Moderation Secretary of State Dean Rusk has said “it would be a very, very, grave develop ment indeed if North Vietnam should be so misguided as to abuse” American pilots and soldiers whom they hold captive. Mr. Rusk also said, with reference to the Communists’ threats to hold public “war crimes” trials and possibly sentence the prisoners to death: “We are not sure that the threat will be carried out, or, if the trials are held, if the sentences would be carried out.” _ •_ Must we wait, then, Mr. Secretary, un tail you are sure the threats have been carried out before we can expect any ac tions against that regime with which you so patiently seek tfie opportunity to ne gotiate’ And actions be then? Would there be tij.f'ther statement releas ed by ;<our the murder cf our men? That’s what happened about a year ago (have one of your assistants check the files, if you don’t remember) when two American pilots were murdered by that Communist regimeTn Hanoi. The newspaper which carried the above quotes from Secretary Rusk also report ed: "Other officials privately are con cerned about the impact execution of any American prisoners as Avar criminals' would have on the conduct of the war The emotional outcry in the United States, said one official, would put tre mendous pressure on the Johnson Admin istration to remove remaining restraints on carrying the war to North Vietnan and would greviously undermine those who advocate moderation.” . We say it is already time for an “ema tional outcry” putting pressure on th' President to remove any and all officials including Mr. Rusk, whose interest ir continued “moderation”,, toward such ar unscrupulous enemy reflects such a cal lous disdain and disregard for the live of Americans who’ve been called upon U face that enemy in combat, y •* r earJ & Seen] “By BufT | Mrs. May Garriss is very proud of a nephew, Billy Jernigan, a student al Morganton and she has a right to be. Billy, though deaf, was a member of the football team and was chosen to play ir the All-Star East-West game. He is the first deaf player ever chosen to play in this East-West, and his record easilj warrants the honor. At right halfback he scored 17 touchdowns and gained more than 1,400 yards last fall. He has gained close to 3,500 yards rushing in the last two seasons, and doesn’t think his deaf ness will be any greater worry playing with the All-Stars than it was on his high school team. Billy is able to read the quarterback’s lips in giving the play sig nals. Instead of facing the line of scrim mage like a normal halfback, Billy sim ply turns toward the quarterback, holdt his head up for lip-reading purposes, bu maintains a natural halfback stance. Once the quarterback has the ball, he lowers his head and smashes into anything in his path. “He would try to run through a pillar if his coach told him to,” said one of the West’s coaches. Coaches say all 60 players for the 17-year-old classic are all-stars, but everybody will agree that Billy Jernigan is even more than that in licking the problem of his deafness in order to play football. o An interesting visitor in The Herald of fice one day last week was Harry C. Per kinson. Harry has been employed as ? guard at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard a' Portsmouth, and a few years ago wa. c presented a service emblem for 20 year, in government service. Like so many Edentonians who have gone where the grass is greener and return for a visit. I did not recognize Harry until he told me who he was. But somehow most of ’em recognize me and say I’ve changed very little. It’s always a pleasure to meet those who have left Edenton, but enjoy a visit back to the old home town. o Mayor <John Mitchener, like a lot of others, goes for a physical checkup ever so often and he did it last week. Doc Ed Bond, after giving him the once over sent His Honor over to the hospital for further tests. Due to the crowded condi tion at the hospital, he was placed in the labor room to await Dr. Frank for an X-ray, and when Doc came in, he asked the mayor where he had been. “In the labor room,” said John. Giving him r good look, Doc said, “Well, I don’t see anything. Your stomach is like your head there’s nothing in it.” o A good personal item, to save space would be to say “a whole gang of Eden ton people spent the weekend on vacatior at Nags Head. But a number of ’err (including yours truly and the Missus) didn’t tarry long over the past weekend The ocean was so rough that nary a sou! did I see to have nerve enough to be ir bathing. The wind and rain reduced op timistic fishermen on the piers to none or a precious few—so that quite a few figured it was just or even more pleasant to be in Edenton —and that’s where they •vent. Mrs. Vivian Mooney, a former Eden tonian now living in Raleigh, inform. 1 me that her daughter, Patricia, will give a voice recital in the WRAL-TV audi torium tonight (Thursday) at 8 o’clock The program will include songs and areas of Handel, Mozart, Brahm, Tchaichovsky and Respighi. Pat is a voice major at Converse College in Spartanburg, S. C. She has done leading roles with Brevard role of Rosemary in “How to Succeed in Opera Workshop and will do the lead role of Rosemary in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” in Sep ‘ember with the Spartanburg Little Theater. She hopes to make a career in opera and musical comedy. Many Eden on friends will remember Pat and her talented family when they lived in Eden ’on, and here’s hoping .she makes a great uccess of her ambition. , oV*»-s. .. Mrs. Jerry Evans recently spent some ime at Morehead City and while there ried her luck at fishing. She must have iad a wonderful time, for she says she ind her party caught a lot of fish, in tluding spots, kingfish, black bass, sea t>ass, hog fish,, pin fish and crabs and ?ven a shark which measured 24 inches. And, she says, they found a place for a -eal good fish dinner where a fellow can THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1966. eat all he wants for one buck. o- Edenton Jaycees selected several people in their Lawn-of-the-Month contest, in which they list five per sons, and all of ’em men except one. Yours truly was among those given honorable mention, but in this case, as very probably with the other four men mentioned, it should have been the Missus, who did the major part of keeping ip the lawns. This is ITie Lav By ROBERT E. LEE (For the N. C. -Bar Association ATTORNEY’S FEE Time and knowledge and (he capacity to render valu able services are the law yer’s stock in trade. These are the items which a law yer gives in exchange for his fee. What is the contingent fee? It arises out of a special agreement between the at torney and his client. The attorney’s compensation is contingent upon his being successful in the conduct of ais client’s case. The attor ney gets a given percentage of that which is recovered on behalf of his client. The attorney receives his fee only when he is successful. If the case is lost, the attor ney goes uncompensated. The most common ex ample of such a case is one brought by a workingman to recover damages for personal injuries. The client has no means to pay an attorney other than out of the money which he hopes to recover in ‘.he litigation. It is said that f a person could--not se cure counsel -on a contingent fee basis, it would, pften place the poor in.” f ifeh a condition as to amount to a practical denial of justice. The contingent fee. usual ly depends upon whether the recovery results from r settle ment before suit, the. mere bringing of the actioru.qr a prolonged trial and a“ pos sible appeal by the defeated party. The percentage may depend upon the streryjth of he case and the- reasonably anticipatory size of the re covery. The contingent fee is cus tomariljtmuch higher than a fee wfitEh would have been charged;-, on a fee-certain basis. The increased sum of the contingent fee in the event of success is regarded as a fair offset to the risk of loss that would have re sulted in the event of fail ure. Most lawyers will give ’he client in advance a choice of a fixed fee, a fee based upon time actually spent,' or a contingent fee. Where there is a personal : njury action, especially if il is one of doubtful liability the client will nearly always choose the contingent fee ar rangement. In the final analysis legal 'ees are a matter for agree ment between lawyer and client. Fortunately, so far as the layman is concerned ‘he fees charged by North Carolina attorneys in gen 3ral are quite modest. Sta -.istics show that the aver age net income for lawyers in this state is far less than the average for the nation While some lawyers, like m e doctors, merchants, olumbers, or mechanics, may overcharge, most are quite ,‘onscientious in their desire to satisfy the client in this regard. There is no reason for a person l to ever worry about a legal fee. If he is wor ded, all he has to do is tc sit down and discuss the matter frankly with his at torney.

Dropped a bag of shot. All those little balls. Scattered everywhere on floor. Try this: Stick a new bag in your vacuum cleaner and suck ’em up. Cut open the bag and pour the pellets back where they belong. Crisis over. Shot restored. VARNISH BRUSH Want the best brush there is—for light varnish work? A, pigeon or duck feather. Fine filaments leave no brush marks' Discard after use. KEYED UP Pickerel fishermen are all keyed up over shining up an old brass key and replacing three way swivels with it. Hole is bored in one end to receive hook sneil. Sinker and line go to the other. Every pull of bait or line, triggers flash of the key. BLOOD LURE Soak cotton and pipe cleaners in blood. Let dry and store. Next fishing trip wrap cotton on line with pipe cleaner and let the wa ter soak the blood smell out. Great for catfish. CRAWLING POPPER Best way to fish a popping plug is real —real show. And if you put a wriggly night crawler on the bottom hook, bass sliding up to see what all the fuss is about, see the worm and BAM! BABY PORK RIND Cut strips of old baby sheets into pork ring lengths and shapes. Works almost as well with half the bother. CAMOUFLAGE Duck hunters cover their boats with burlap bags. Rip the bags to get the greatest surface area. Then drape over motor and boat. Works fine. SHINE SPOON A tube of toothpaste keeps your spoons shiny. Rub paste on spoon with lingers. Slight abrasion shines ’em up. WEEDLESS One of your wife’s hair pins can make a lure weed less. Weave end into the eye of treble hook. Ends stick out and keep weeds away. SINKER CLINCHER Here’s how to stop a clinch-type sinker from slip ping on whispy monofila ment line. Clinch one end. Then wrap line three or four times around the body of the sinker. Then clinch the ether end. No slip. LOW LIGHT Put a flashlight in a wa tefJfl-oOf jar. Attach line. Now lower it to the bottom around sunfish, crappie, perch or bream beds. Watch your score go up!
