Walter Jones Bidding For Votes First District Rep. Walter B. Jones Thursday made his strongest speech in his current bid for re-election as he spoke “informally” with a group at Cho wan County Court House. The congressman “laid it on the line” as he said: “I emphatically tell you I am supporting Walter Jones for Congress and nothing else.” This was a back handed slap at his GOP opponent who has endorsed third party candidate George Wallace for president. At the same time, Rep. Jones again said if the presidential election is thrown into the House of Representatives, he will cast his vote for the candidate which carries this district. In answer to a question about what he thinks of Wallace, Rep. Jones said that while he did not know the candidate personally he was acquainted with sev eral Alabama congressmen and they “without exception” praised the former governor of Alabama. Rep. Jones said “what Wallace is say ing needs to be said” and pointed out that his own conservative voting record is in line with Wallace’s statements. The Jones campaign tour in the area began Wednesday night when he spoke briefly at a Bob Scott rally in Elizabeth City. He was warmly received. Moving from his prepared speech, Scott called for the re-election of Rep. Jones. He said Rep. Jones is the type congressman a governor can work in har mony with and “I look forward to work ing with him during the next four years.” Nearly 50 Jones supporters turned out at 8 A. M., Thursday for a breakfast meeting at Edenton Restaurant. At this time he expressed appreciation for the support given him in Chowan County. He spoke briefly about the campaign, saying he was not going to get into a personal fight with his opponent in the closing days. Speaking at the Edenton Rotary Club luncheon, Rep. Jones reviewed the 90th Congress which he called “long and con fusing”. He was critical of Attorney General Ramsey Clark for not indicting those who planned the Chicago riots during the Democratic Convention. He also expressed regret over the passage of the open housing bill, calling it unconsti tutional. Rep. Jones said the 91st Congress must deal with the question of law and order, and said before there can be jus tice in the country there must be order. Warren Twiddy, his co-manager in Chowan, presided at the breakfast; W. B. Gardner introduced him at Rotary and Roy L. Harrell presented him at the court house. Jaycee Telephone Survey The results of a telephone survey by Edenton Jaycees shows Lt. Gov. Bob Scott widening his lead over Jim Gard ner in their race for the North Carolina governorship. Scott received 56 per cent of the votes in Monday’s survey while Gardner polled 27 per cent. There were 17 per cent still undecided. Gov. George C. Wallace maintained a big lead 'over Richard Nixon and Vice President Hubert Humphrey in the presi dent’s race. He had 43 per cent; Nixon, 27 per cent; Humphrey, 20 per cent; and 10 per cent undecided. “State of Town” Message Mayor John X. Mitchener, Jr., tonight (Thursday) is expected to make a strong plea for public support of needed im provements to the water system and sewage extension in the Town of Eden ton. The mayor is scheduled to deliver a “State of the Town” message at a May or’s Night Banquet of Edenton Jaycees. The event begins at 7:30 o’clock. Gaylord Perry of WQliamston, a Na in attendance and speak briefly to the group i*.- ' Wallace Evans, dob president, said \J4eard &Seen “By Buff" With so much said about juvenile delin quency these days, I read an item in a pam phlet, “Children Learn What They Live,” distributed by the Children’s Home Society. Here 'tis: If a child lives with criticism—he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility—he learns to fight If a child lives with ridicule—he learns to be shy. If a child lives with shame—he learns to feel guilty. If a child lives with tolerance—he learns to be patient If a child lives with encouragement—he learns confidence. If a child lives with praise—he learns to appreciate. If a child lives with fairness—he learns justice. If a child lives with security—he learns to have faith. If a child lives with approval—he learns to like himself. If a child lives with acceptance of friend ship—he learns to find love in the world. o The politicians are making their rounds in their quest for votes, one of which last week was Bob Scott, Democratic candidate for Governor. It was told that while at Earl Smith’s store, one of the men present said to Mr. Scott, “If you’re elected I’d like to see you do away with one particular tax.” Os course, Mr. Scott asked what that tax was, and the fellow said, “tax on cof fins When a person dies.” Well, I don’t know if Mr. Scott will do anything or not about it, for that’s the last chance they have of taking a crack at us for taxes. o— — ■■ Philip McMullan said I evidently madfe a mistake last week when I said Mrs. Marion Swindell recognized me at the Edenton Marina when she saw a pipe in my mouth. Philip said it was not the sight of the pipe but, no doubt, the smell of it. o The Methodist ladies held a very delight ful chicken salad luncheon Friday at the church, which was to the liking of just about everybody who ate there. One of the ladies was especially impressed with the chicken salad and said, “When I get to Heaven, I hope they’ll serve chicken salad and have the Methodist women make it.” At that rate, it looks as though a woman’s work is never done. o And speaking of eating, the Masons will hold a district meeting in the local Ma sonic Temple tonight (Thursday). A free meal will be served at 6:30 o’clock, which should attract quite a few of the Masons. o Al Coston, without a doubt, is the biggest ground gainer for the Edenton Aces and his slippery racing with the ball attracts a number of fans. But despite the gains he has made. Coach Marion Kirby easily cov ers more territory than the elusive Coeton. It’s herd to guess how many times Friend Kirby rambles back and forth in front of his players on the bench. o A fellow is never too old to learn, as for instance I’ve, for the first time, tasted (and like very much) curry shrimp. Mrs. June Davis gave us a generous helping of the stuff Monday night and now the idea of the Missus is to get the recipe so that we can include it among the things we like very much. o Ralph R. Hall, Jr., was one who renewed his subscription to The Herald last week and enclosed a very interesting note. He is a foreign service staff officer attached to the V. S. Embassy in the Philippines. “We receive our paper about a month late,’’ he said, “but it is still good news to read about our friends and relatives. My sister is Mrs. C. T. Dixon, Jr., and my wife, Bar bara, is the daughter of G. T. Jordan of Tyner. We have a daughter, Susan, We have met several people here from East ern North Carolina and a few from Eden ton. We live near Clark Air Base and would like to welcome any of the military men from around Edenton to visit with us. Just dial 48-139 and ask for Mr. Hall. Last year we spent our vacation in Taiwan and Hong Kong. This year we vacationed in Bangkok, Thailand. We look forward most to our vacation this spring, which we hope to spend at my dad’s cottage at Nixon’s Beach. We have a wonderful Baptist Chun* here. From this church we sup port 10 barrio missions. This church and working with the Filippinos have meant a lot to us. Rev. Ed Gordon and family, for mer pastor at Rocky Hock Baptist Church, are missionaries near us.” Warning Issued Mobile home owners were warned this week to comply with district health reg ulations before setting up housekeeping. K. Y. Eyer, sanitarian supervisor, said recently there has been an influx of mo bile homes being parked in this area. “Some mobile homes are being parked without providing adequate sewage dis posal facilities.” Eyer called attention to the depart ment’s rules and regulations governing the installation of sewage disposal sys tems. State laws require each residence —including mobile homes—to have an approved type sewage disposal system. The ordinance also specifies the mini mum lot size which governs both indi vidual residences and individual mobile homes. The trailer court ordinance cov ers areas where two or more trailers are parked on a pared of land. “From the health standpoint, it is very important that a permit be secured prior to having such installations made,” Eyer stated. No charge is made for the permit. ' When a permit is issued, a health de iLiii’ puhltc ]*!ar;tde Continued from Pig* l but I get a big kick out of recording it.” Cooperating with the U. S. Depart ment of Commerce is old hat in the Conger family. For 40 years, prior to his death, Mr. Conger’s father was a volunteer weather observer. Daniels said there are over 400 ob servers in the state and fewer than two dozen have 25 years or more experience. Gladys brought the rain over the weekend. Daniels brought the service pin Tuesday to a surprised weather ob server. Good Citizenship There is a lot of food for thought in the “Ten Promises of a Good Citizen” printed in a law publication from McGraw-Hill. They are: 1. I will vote at all elections. I will in form myself on candidates and issues and will use m£ greatest influence to see that honest and capable officials are elected. I will accept public of fice when I can serve my community or my country thereby. (Note —In recent elections half of the eligible voters did not bother to vote for anyone!) 2. I will serve on a jury when asked. 3. I will respect and obey the laws. I will assist public officials in prevent ing crime and the courts in giving evidence. 4. I will pay my taxes (If not cheerfully) but will oppose unnecessary federal, state, or local expenditures. 5. I will work for peace but will duti fully accept my responsibilities in time of war and will respect the flag of the United States of America. 6. In thought, expression and action; at home, at school and in all my con tacts, I will avoid any group preju dice based on class, race or religion. 7. I will support our system of free pub lic education by doing everything I can to improve the schools in my own community. 8. I will try to make my community a better place in which to live. 9. I will practice and teach the principles of good citizenship in my own home and in my. other relationships. O. I will oppose those Who seek gradual ly to destroy economic liberty and convert bur nation into a fascistic or socialistic state. Conference Slated The state-wide American Legion-Au xiliary fall conference will be held this weekend in Nags Head at the Carolinian Hotel, according to Department Adju tant J. Carroll Wilson of Raleigh. The conference is set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Some 500 Legionnaires and Auxiliary members are expected to attend. De partment Commander C. Marcelle Wil liams will preside. Mrs. J. L. Chestnutt of Edenton is conference chairman for the Auxiliary. The First District is hosting the con ference. The Legion sessions will be held at The Carolinian while the Auxiliary will have general sessions at the John Yancey Motel. Lewis McCray of Tuscaloosa, Ala., national vice commander, will be fea tured speaker at a joint session at 3 P. M., Saturday. Mrs. Clarence Cum berland, national vice president, Southern Division of the Auxiliary, will address the workshop-study session Saturday morning. Aces Face Ahoskie All but eliminated from the 2-A Albe marle Conference pennant race, the Edenton Aces face the Ahoskie Indians Friday night in Ahoskie. The Aces, defending champs, com pletely outclassed the Perquimans In dians last week while Ahoskie was suf fering its first loss to the hands of Bertie. Coach Marion Kirby used his substi tutes freely in the second half but the Indians never put together a serious at tack. Before the clock ran out, the Aces had amassed 58 points. The rushing and passing yardage roll ed up by the Aces went over the 500- yard figure. Halfback Giggy Leary scored three Edenton TD’s to lead the attack. Earl Chesson posted two scores and passed for two more. Al Partin, Alfred Cos ton, Mike Ervin and Tom Croas also were able to cross the goal line.
