HJ O’ b, Bu/r Maybe I should send a buck or sumpin’ to Mrs. Elizabeth Tynch Mcßae way out at Canoga, California. Most everybody, no doubt, likes a little flattery and that’s what is included in a letter this week from Mrs. Mcßea. Her letter follows: “Dear Mr. Buff: I am so thank ful you are doing so well after your surgery. The Chowan Herald would not be the same without your column. You are truly the pillar of Edenton and The Chowan Herald, which was the first newspaper I ever knew. I am so pleased to be coming to Edenton on a holiday vacation around the 12th of December. My husband is from Kansas and has never seen Edenton. We will be so pleased to see our family and friends again in Edenton and Chowan County. I have not seen my mother, Mrs. Melvin Ingraham and father, Jim Tynch, since May, 1972 when I came home for the passing of my precious sister. Looking forward to seeing each and every one of ya at The Chowan Herald. God bless and a very Merry Christmas to each of ya and your families.” Then Mrs. Mcßae adds a footnote: to the effect that her father will have lived in Chowan County for 74 years on his bir thday, December 5. —O— Edenton’s Christmas de corations are now in place and ready for the annual Christmas parade this (Thursday) afternoon. And according to the weatherman there’ll be a lot of shivering folks watching the parade. Anyway, the weatherman predicts that there will be no rain but it means that anybody along the line of march of the parade better bundle up good to prevent a lot of shivering and chattering of teeth. Anyway, the parade should usher in the Christmas spirit even if it is about a month before the holiday. Maybe it will make some people a little more cheerful for a longer period CtHWETsS f: - = And speaking about the weather it almost made a fellow shiver the other day while watching a football game played in Cin cinnati. So much snow fell during the game that it was necessary to shovel it off so that the goal line could be seen. And even before the next play could -be executed the goal line was just about covered with the white stuff. In fact it sort of made a fellow feel chilly just to watch the game—but glad that he was not among the thousands who had to fight the snow to get back to their homes. There’s no doubt that there are some honest and some half honest people in Edenton. One day last week a certain young lady left her handbag on her desk and when she went for it the thing was missing. It was sort of a mystery what had become of the bag, but later it turned up at the Chowan Medical Center. Where the half honest comes in is that only the money was taken out but the culprit didn’t bother any other of the contents. So maybe if he or she was not half honest the possibility is that the bag and all of the contents would have been disposed of. Anyway, the young lady is glad that her bag and what was in it (except the money) is now in her hands. Next Saturday will be the first Saturday in the month so that the Methodist Men’s Club will put on another pickled herring breakfast. The meal will be served at the church from 7 to 9 o’clock and the “boys” are hoping a large crowd Thursday, December 2, 1976, The Chowan Herald Bp* 2*7, EDENTON, N.

There will also be those who will never have heard of any such animal or what it birthed Nevertheless, if the school board continues to promote a people’s program informed citizens should overshadow the ignorance of some, which will surely be a disturbing factor. Worthy Project That is quite a unique and worthy project the Jaycees along the Public Parade will conduct Saturday. Bottles for the needy might turn some people off since, in most cases, the type of bottles most might think about is the last thing these people need. Empty soft drink bottles are a horse of a different breed. That’s what the Jaycees want. Alton Clark, Jaycee president, said reaching a goal of 10,000 bottles Saturday would mean at least SSOO would be available for the club’s annual Christmas party for underprivileged children. The goal represents less than one bottle from every person in Edenton and Chowan County and isn’t as unrealistic as it might appear on the surface. Instead of trying to sell something or seek donations, the Jaycees are giving area citizens the opportunity to clean out their pantry or help clean up the land scape. 11118 is a community project for a good cause. It deserves the fullest support of all the people. Ik ~ - M ALUMNI GATHER—AIumni of N. C.

Moore Heads Committee George Moore has been named chairman of the Merchants Committee of Edenton Chamber of Commerce. He is manager of Belk Tyler. At a committee meeting Mon day morning it was decided to have a pre-ChristmaS promotion the weekend of December 16-18. Last year 24 merchants par ticipated in this promotion and it was considered one of the best of the year. An advertising supplement will appear in The Chowan Herald on December 16 and be widely of people will turn out to enjoy a good meal, mixed with some good fellowship. For $1.75 everybody can eat all they want. Os course, an election was held in November but there’ll be another election tonight (Thursday). At their meeting tonight members of Unanimity Lodge No. 7. A.F. & A.M., will elect officers for the year 1977. But unlike the recent election there have been no speeches, handshaking nor a lot of. promises made. Anyway, Jimmy Yates, the outgoing master of the lodge, hopes many members will be on hand to have a say-so who should be elected to the various offices. Not so long ago sugar was almost worth its weight in gold. Now, according to some grocery stores, sugar has dropped to as low as five pounds for 19 cents. Os course, this price is contingent ♦upon the purchse of a certain item or at least $7.50 worth of other groceries. But it takes a precious few other groceries to cost $7.50. So if some other kinds of food would drop like sugar maybe the dollar would go a fait further. *i- » i ' J/' • " ' *\V.- 7 *ry ,> .-V VANDALS WARNED—Sheriff Troy Toppin has issued a stem warning to vandals who make a sport out of knocking over high way signs and mail boxes. The sheriff said a wreck occurred on Base Road last week at an intersection, above, where the stop sign had been knocked over. Only a short distance down the high way another sign had been pulled up and the sheriff is pictured as he puts it back in place. Furthermore a mail box in the same vicinity was knocked over. Sheriff Toppin said the latter is a federal offense. He warned that vandals apprehended for these violations would be prosecuted.

Youthful and hand some, Carl Stewart, Jr., got his nomination without any of the wrangling and bickering often attributed to Democrats in session anywhere. That doesn’t mean, of course, there won’t be some of that when the in-fighting starts during the new session. But, a Democrat in the governor’s mansion set a distributed to boxholders in Chowan and surrounding counties. The committee also recom mended that local business establishments close Christmas Day and New Year’s Day for the holiday. At the same time it was recommended that stores remain open until 9 P.M. from December 16 through December 23 and close at 7 P.M. on December 24. The following people are being asked to serve on the committee: Claude Griffin, Bill Norvell, director in charge; George Drawdy, Caswell Edmundson, Terry Jones, Byron Kehayes, Warren Hibbard, and Larry Roberson. % MBPSV: j.**® SLP / ■ I '- «4S 1»i jt 1111 .19 COURTHOUSE COLLEAGUES vnrr—Mn.

The black leather swivel chairs along the back row were con spicuously vacant and, even when the 1977 session gets underway, they won’t be all filled. The General Assembly of North Carolina is overwhelmingly Democratic. “The Republicans are already saying that anything that goes wrong in state government the Democrats' will now have to take the blame. Well, I want to tell you now, the Democrats will also take the credit for things which go right in state government,” Stewart told his colleagues. In this con nection, in his brief but statesmanlike acceptance ad dress, he predicted that the 1977 legislative session will have to deal with some of the most serious problems ever and that the leaders will be expected to respond with courage and responsibility. Rep. Edd Nye of Elizabethtown, who served in the Senate during the 1975-76 sessions, is representing 'his' disfrxct this coming term in the House of Representatives and former Rep. R. C. Soles, from the same district, was elected to the Senate. The Gentleman from Columbus had the opening prayer for the caucus. Former Rep. Larry Eagles of Tarboro, who was defeated in the Democratic primary, was back on the scene and was nominated to serve as sergeant-at-arms, replacing Graham Tart who did not seek re nomination. It was a lovefeast, all right, but there surely must have been some serious conservations as a few huddles developed and the discussions centered around committee appointments and bills proposed for introduction. Some of the members were already soliciting votes for their favorite bills which they declare they will toss in the hopper the very first day of the new session. A few standing committees went into session following the 90- minute caucus and then at 3 P.M. the whole bunch, including spouses, was invited to a reception at which Jim Hunt, governor elect, was .host.
