THURSDAY, MAY 22. 1969 Poppy Sale Slated Saturday will be Poppy Day in down town Edenton. Plans for the annual event, sponsored by American Legion Auxiliary, have been completed. Members of Unit 40, as well as other volunteers who will join in the activities of Poppy Day, will be stationed at num erous places all day offering baskets of Memorial Poppies and urging each citi zen to join them in wearing one of the little red blossoms in honor of our na tion’s war dead. MITCHENERS PAID Continued from Ptgs i Town of Edenton . . . and so well liked throughout North Carolina.” Mitchener said he considered himself just one small spoke in a large wheel covering the area, saying he would “like to think any progress I might have been a part of benefitted not only Edenton but the Albemarle.” He said he is convinced the most pro gressive area of North Carolina is in the East and expressed confidence this progress would continue under the out standing leadership of the people in the Albemarle area. “If by any chance I have left you with any heritage of service, I am de lighted,” Mitchener said. “The future, as far as I am concerned, is uncertain ... if I have the opportunity to serve in the future, it will be for the Albemarle we know and love.” A telegram of congratulations from Congressman Walter B. Jones was read, as well as a letter from Mrs. Davetta Steed, executive director of the League of Municipalities. Mrs. Mitchener thanked the town for this ■ “marvelous occasion” and said “I feel so blessed to have friends like this.” In attendance were Mrs. Joseph Pike of Concord, mother of the former first lady of Edenton, John A. Mitchener, 111, who has just returned from a tour of duty in Viet Nam; William (Bill) Mitchener, a sophomore at UNC-CH; area officials and Mayor F. L. Harrison of Scotland Neck, second vice president of the N. C. League of Municipalities. Mitchener first entered Edenton poli tics 18 years ago when he made a suc cessful bid for the Third Ward council seat. He was elected Mayor by the council in June of 1959 following the death of the la(e Mayor David Q. Hol ton. Two years ago he served as presi dent of the N. C. League of Municipali ties. His interest has not been confined to Edenton affairs. He has played an ac tive role in area activities including the Albemarle Area Development Associa tion. Fifteen months ago he announced he did not choose to run for mayor again and indicated he would welcome a seat on the State Highway Commission.

Bu fT Adding insult to injury Wednesday morn ing of last week was a visit to The Herald office by Jasper Copeland, caretaker at Bennett’s Mill Pond. Having been released from Chowan Hospital Tuesday night of last week with instructions from Doc Ed Bond to confine myself to a strict liquid diet and keep off my feet as much as pos sible a*, least until Saturday, I figured that sitting in front of a typesetting machine for a while wasn't any worse than sitting in a chair at home. So, in order to help Pete Manning out of a big jam, I thought I’d help to set a little type. After setting a few lines of type Friend Copeland came in and asked me to go out to his car, where he had a bucket full of nice fish which he caught in the mill pond. He had over 50, which he said he caught in an hour and a half—and there I was, far behind with my fishing when apparently the fish were bit ing up a storm. ■ ■- o This job of eating sometimes creates some problems. At a recent Rotary meet ing the ladies put on the plates a spiced peach of the cling stone variety. I watched Jim Wood stick a fork in the thing and tried to cut it. The bloomin’ peach slipped from the fork like an eel slips from the hands when trying to unhook it. Several times Jim tried to cut the peach and each time it slipped across the plate. I took a hint, whether it was proper etiquette or not, and picked up the peach in my fing ers and chewed away—and I got more of the peach than Jim did messing around with a knife and fork. o This spell of some sort of illness in the Bufflap household has caused me a number of disappointments in a short time. In the first place, for 30 years I have been part of or witnessed the taking oath of office of town officials. Then, because I was re leased from Chowan Hospital Tuesday night, Town Council meeting night, I was, of course, unable to attend the swearing in of George Alma Byrum as new Mayor of Edenton, Pete Dail as new Councilman at large, as well as the other officials who were re-elected. Then Thursday night I was unable to attend the appreciation ban quet in honor of John and Nancy Mitch ener at the Country Club, which was even a bigger disappointment for, except for the past two years, I’ve served with Friend John when he was a Councilman and was named Mayor following the sudden death of Dave Holton. John has served as Mayor for 10 years and during that time he can look back with pride to the accomplish ments realized in Edenton under his ad ministration. Os course, there have been many times when the going was not so pleasant, as is the case with any public official. However, what plaudits which were directed to him. aiTa Jtis wife (for she, too, has made many sacrifices while John was attending to town affairs) were well deserved. So while the outgoing Mayor can reflect with pride his tour of office, here’s betting a stumped down good stogiq none will linger in his memory any longer than the appreciation dinner which was at tended by so many of his friends. o Then, too, I was forced to miss the Chowan Shrine Club’s steak dinner at Sandy Point Beach as guests of Kermit Layton Wednesday night and the Scottish Rite Club’s dinner Thursday night. But being restricted to a strict liquid diet, what business have I to be at these eating af fairs? Another disappointment was being unable to attend the annual concert of the Edenton High School Band Sunday after noon—one thing which I had planned to hear. Os course, they didn’t serve any thing to eat, but I’m sure I missed a very good program of -band music. o Scheduled to again “pay a visit’ to Doc William Bindeman at Chowan Hospital early this (Thursday) morning, the dickens knows how many things I’ll have to miss which I would like to attend. o Some of we older Edentonians will re member Miss Sara McDonald, who taught school in Edenton for 15 years before go ing to Georgia a long time ago. Ever since leaving Edenton Miss “Mac” has been a subscriber to The Herald and in sending in her renewal last week had this to say: “Dear Mr. Bufflap: I am thoroughly en joying The Chowan Herald—Kate’s column is very good and as usual, lim enjoying Heard and Seen. I look forward each week to receiving the paper. Edenton will always have a very warm spot in my heart. The 15 years spent there were the happiest of my life. Best wishes to you and Mrs. Bufflap and special wishes for her speedy recovery.” public parade The value of our agricultural econo my should not be minimized. By' the same token just praise and recognition should be given those who distribute the industrial checks. After many agonizing years, Chowan is enjoying a healthy balance of the two. All signs point out that the best is even yet to come. Being a part of it should be a source of pride for us all. Hey, Look Us Over! Today’s edition of The Chowan Her ald is die largest regular edition of the paper ever published. It is in five sec tions, so make sure you get the entire “28-page paper. Two sections deal exclusively with this week’s Spring-O-Rama, which finds 29 local merchants cooperating on a sin gle four-day sales event. But throughout the paper you will find ads of merchants who are offering specials to attract peo ple from throughout the Albemarle Area to Edenton. We take special pride in the paper because it also has a generous amount of color. Five pages have color and there are four different colors used on these pages. This is the first time more than one color has appeared in the paper. In order to accomplish this, some changes were necessary. So, P&Q Super Market, which historically has had an ad on page 2, isn’t there. It did make page 2, but in the fifth section. Too, in such an undertaking, notwith standing the ability of our five crew, some mistakes were made. Those most glaring at this writing involved wrong telephone numbers. Boyce Texaco can be reached by dialing 482-4743, not as printed in the ad. The same is true for Griffin Musicenter where the right num ber is 482-2528. If you find other errors, don’t call, just understand. We encourage you to register with par ticipating merchants for the free cash prizes and browse through the downtown exhibits—both on the street and inside. You’ll like what you see and the merch ants will like to see you. These promise to be busy days in Edenton. And our machines won’t be idle either. Next week brings the indi vidual pictures of seniors at 'the three high schools in the Edenton-Chowan sys tem. And then the next, the next, and the next ...
