Which means that if only 1 % more people— ■■H maybe you—became donors, it would add over thirty percent more blood to America's voluntary bloodstream. Think of it! OB But forget arithmetic. Just concentrate on one word. The word is Easy. Giving blood is easy. You hardly feel it (in fact, some people say they feel better physically after a blood donation). And, of course, everybody feels better emotionally. Because it's a great feeling knowing your one easy blood donation has helped up to five other people to live. So how about it, 1 % of America?

THE CHOWAN HERALD Washington Report By Congressman Walter Jones By Congressman Walter B. Jones One of the highlights of the entire week was the Joint Session of Congress bn Monday, September 18, which was also attended by the Diplomatic Corps, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court and the military Joint Chief of Staffs, when President Jimmy Carter unveiled his plans for the so-called “Framework for Peace” as it relates to the Mid-East. No one at this time can predict the ultimate success but at least the groundwork has been laid and certainly President Carter deserves all the credit for his determined efforts to bring President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin together for at least a tentative mutual agreement. It is difficult to put into words the feeling that prevailed on the House Floor on that occasion, but if one can visualize these two leaders sitting in the Presidential Gallery vir tually embracing one another and chatting amiacably with Mrs. Carter who sat between the two, then <me can understand the traumatic drama that was taking place. Most people have commented that this was one of President Car ter’s best appearances; and when the President left the hall and Sadat and Begin started to make their exit up the gallery steps, they were interrupted three times by thunderous applause to which both responded in a most gracious bow. Should the plan prove to be ac ceptable for all concerned and implemented, then President Carter will take a place in history as making a major contribution to world peace. Later in the week at a meeting with Members of Congress, the President stated that the Summit meeting at Camp David was the most trying and exhausting ten days of his life. -J'reria Too Late To Classify 1978 Chevy Chevette, 4- door hatchback, 4 cyl., air, AM-FM stereo, steel belted radials.

Among our unidentified photos made by Ben Dixon Mac Neill are several that we think may have been made in Edenton on April 28, 1932, when the Joseph Hewes monument was unveiled. On the other hand, Elizabeth V. Moore thinks they may have been made on another occasion. According to Carl Goerch’s story in the News and Observer on April 29, 1932, the monument un veiling attracted “thousands” of people. Judge Francis D. Winston presided, and Rep. Sol Bloom of New York was one of the main speakers. E.B. Jeffress accepted the monument for the state. More than 150 persons in “authentic colonial costumes” put on a pageant written by Theodosia Wales Glenn, directed by Olive Jackson, and featuring Rev. E.T. Jillson as James Iredell and John Dobson as Joseph Hewes. That night an aerial display was put on by naval bombing planes, along with a boat race, a street dance, and I don’t know what all. The three enclosed photos seem to tie in with this event, for in the photo showing the speaker’s stand and crowd are Josephus Daniels and Blucher Ehringhaus and a gen tleman with a white wig (behind Daniels) who ap pears in a separate wigless photo. Then in another photo there are three naval air men with a half dozen local ladies in costume. If you have the space, you are welcome to run these in The Herald to see if we can get a better identification of the event and the people involved. Best wishes. Sincerely yours, H.G.Jones Base cabinets with pullout shelves make more storage space easily accessible.
