?■
T Plans to unite nine counties into one
: economic development district were com
cpleted on Friday when the Chowan
tCounty Board of Commissioners met
5 with three representatives of Economical
Administration (EDA) and
:[ approved the resolution stating that Cho
jwan County would give their share of
-:52,111.22 toward the establishing of the

quire federal funds to promote industry
Jin the Albemarle Area,
i* The Albemarle Regional Planning and
Commission will be headed
?by a 36-member board. Each of the
tinine county commissioners will select
:four persons from their county, two of
-i-which will be elected or county officials
l and one a negro to serve on the board.
} From these 36 persons officers will be

\ A projected $60,000 will be used to
j begin the organization in the nine coun
: ties. From the $60,000, $45,000 will be
• a federal grant and the other $15,000
: from the counties in the district.
[ After the first year of operation, the
: federal grant will increase 10 per cent.
: The third year the grant will decrease
{ five per cent and five per cent each year
: : thereafter until the counties and federal
:j money is provided on a 50-50 scale.
If the county wishes to withdraw from
i; the district after two years they may
1 do so.
The 36-member board will employ
three professional men to operate the
•: district. One a director, a planner and
;1 an industrial relations man. A secretary
> will also be employed.
:i Attending the meeting on Friday were
j’ Ron Ingle, State coordinator for EDAf'

Ueard
! "By Buff"
J. B. Jones son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs.
Raleigh Hollowell, had a harrowing experi
ence on the night of October 7. Jones, who
> lives at Annandale, Va., was on his way
from his office in Philadelphia to his car
in a parking lot nearby when he was at
tacked by three Negro men. He fought
them off for his life and managed to get
away after being pretty well bruised and
' cut. He got to his car, drove about two
blocks when he came upon a policeman,
who called an ambulance and Jones was
t rushed to a hospital for emergency treat
ment. He was hospitalized five days. He
feels very lucky in that the trio was appar
ently scared oif before he was beaten to
death.
' o
Though there is no* much improvement
in the condition of the Missus, she had a
i terrible yearning to come home, so she was
discharged from Chowan Hospital Tuesday
morning of this week and is now at heme.
She, of course, is still unable to walk alone
or to write, but she would like so very
much to write notes of thanks to so many
friends who have sent flowers, tasty foods
and for other acts of kindness while hos
pitalized. And because she is home and
needs somebody with her all the time,
here’s one who is getting a little experience
- in nursing.
r o
And speaking about the new hospital,
everything is so up-to-date—even to calling
hospital personnel to answer the telephone
or to report to various departments in the
hospital. For instance, instead of hearing
over the loud speaker: "Mrs. or Miss So
and So, please report to the emergency
room” or “100, answer the telephone,” you
hear: “No. 305 report to the emergency
room” or “85, please report to the nurses’
station.” And all of ’em must know their
number, for very seldom does one hear the
same number called more than once for
any particular reason. I don’t know the
nL'.Tibers cf. the nurses whe responded to
calls to go to the room of the Missus, but
no time was lost in arriving there and it
seemed to be a pleasure to each one to
perform any service no matter how un
pleasant it might have been. It’s a very
nice hospital, but no nicer than the fine
service and friendliness on the part of the
personnel—and that’s the comment on the
part of all the patients and friends and
relatives of patients who I’ve talked to.

Members of the Methodist Men’s Club
usually sponsor some projects about the
church, but now they are branching out.
At the last meeting the men agreed on a
project to keep clean and attractive as
possible the old Methodist Cemeterv on
Street near Church Street. Some
of the boys have already done a good day’s
work and others will be “drafted” if ne
cessary The “boys” feel that the project
will reflect a feeling of respect (for those
who are buried there.

Aces Close Here
The Edenton Aces were defeated by
the Ahoskie Cougars Friday by a score
of 13 to 3.
This Friday night the last game of
the season will be played on Hicks Field
at 8 P. M., under the direction of Coach
Marion Kirby. The Aces will battle
the Plymouth Vikings.
Ahoskie took the opening kickoff and
nine plays later Eley had the ball on the
two-yard line and then made a score.
The next tally for Ahoskie came as a
result of an Edenton fumble on the one
yard line and Eley once again moved it
across for the touchdown.
Edenton lacked offenive punch and
managed only a 25-yard field goal by
Joe Bunch.
Lewis Brothers was outstanding for
Edenton as be stopped runners for losses
or no gains and twice he recovered loose
balls. Also defensive standouts were
Tommy Fleetwood, Blount Shepard, Lee
Leary, Joe Bunch and Paul Waff.

of Edenton-Chcwan Board of Education.
The seven proposed changes to the
N. C. Constitution fit a pattern of con
i stitutional revision that is as old as the
state and the nation. Tar Heelia has
had only two constitutions, and the seven
amendments is the boldest attempt to
change the document since it was written
in 1868.
These amendments didn’t just happen.
A State Constitution Study Commission
reported; two proposals were initiated
by individual legislators during the 1969
General Assembly; and one came from
the Local Government Study Commis
sion. The last General Assembly, while
appearing generous, had 21 amendment
bills which failed to receive the required
three-fifths vote of both houses.
All this is to say it is important to
the future of North Carolina that these
amendments not be taken lightly. Like
the local and district contests, little fuss
has been raised over them and all are
expected to gain approval. Nevertheless,
as a voter you are obligated to read the
questions and vote your conscience.
Elsewhere in today’s newspayer are
copies of the ballots for Tuesday’s gen
eral election. Also, as a public service,
we are publishing a capsule breakdown
of each of the seven proposals to amend
the state constitution.
In this election then, we won’t be just
making a mark for Democrats. We will
spend some time going over the amend
ments and voting for those we consider
in the best interest of the citizenry. We
encourage you to do the same.
Help!
Help!
This is the standard call for assistance
when fire, flood or other disaster occurs.
In the ordinary sense of the word, Eden
ton Jaycees should be shouting it
throughout the community since fire
completely destroyed their center on Base
Road Monday night.
“Blood, Sweat & Tears” is the name
of a popular musical group. Add fellow

CENTER DESTROYED
Continued from Page 1
Edenton Jaycees purchased the de
lapidated building and property nearly
five years ago. An untold number of
manhours have been spent in repairs,
painting, etc.
It had become one of the most popu
lar public banquet facilities for large
groups in Northeastern North Carolina.
Jaycees and Jaycettes have fed more
than 500 people at a single banquet.
Dail said the building could set up to
700 for a banquet.
Several banquets have already been
booked for future dates. Dail said the
club would contact National Guard of
ficials concerning use of the Armory
and the American Legion. He said Rev.
Russell Rice of Immanuel Baptist
Church had offered use of the church’s
old facilities off Highway 32 north of
Edenton for the Jaycee children’s Hallo
ween party Saturday.
Fire Chief Parks is ah Exhausted
Rooster—a Jaycee who ages out at 35.
He is a past president of the : 'club and
past winner of the Distinguished Service
Award. He and firemen stayed on the
scene until 4:30 A. M., Tuesday to keep
the fire from spreading.
Chief Parks said the fire obviously
started in the center of the building. He
said his only estimate as to the cause
would be from the heating system, which
only recently became operative for the
winter season.
Dail said the board of directors will
meet immediately to make plans for the
future. He indicated the fire, although
dampening the spirit of many who had
worked long and hard to make it a com
munity center, would be turned into a
challenge for the organization in the
future.

Ruritan Benefit
Chowan County Ruritan Club will
sponsor a chicken barbecue supper on
Saturday, November 14, to furnish a
room at the new Chowan County Hos
pital, according to Jimmy Hodges, presi
dent of the club.
The barbecue will be held at the Cho
wan Community Building in front of
Chowan High School.
A bullet may be deadly, but rapid-fire
tongues often claim more victim^
mentary adjective to it and you might
adequately describe nearly five years of
work Edenton Jaycees had put into a
building of little value. They had con
verted it into one of the largest and most
popular public centers for banquets and
meetings in Northeast North Carolina.
Instead of playing on the sympathy
of the community, the Jaycees are ac
cepting the challenge of continuing to
provide a spacious community center for
this area. Tuesday night, their board
met to discuss the future. Tonight
(Thursday) more discussion will be held
at a general membership meeting.
While the Jaycees are making plans
for the future, individuals, businesses and
industries along the Public Parade should
be thinking about means of providing
this dedicated group with assistance.

President Robert Dail has said Jaycees
are the type young men who are capable
of turning possible disaster into a great- /
er challenge. This they are about to
prove; already making arrangements to
handle functions previously engaged. ?
The contribution Jaycees have made*
to Edenton and Chowan County is tre
mendous. One of the finest being spon
sorship of a successful campaign to se
cure a favorable vote on the sl-mHlioa
bond issue for the new Chowan Hospital.
They are now going to have to fall *>
back on the community to pitch in to
aid them. We doubt if they will actually
issue an 5.0.5., but it really shouldn’t
be necessary. Aid should be forthcoming
without the asking.
“Help” seems to be a word absent
from the vocabulary of the real Jaycee.
