Continued from page l story short, we got the loan, paid the movers and were officially Edentonians. There was one stipulation to the loan, other than repay it. It was that we were never to tell who was responsible for making it possible for us to move to Edenton (Sorry about that George!) Graham White lost his eight month battle with cancer Sunday morning. There will be no more “RGW” initials of approval of financial papers along the Public Parade. But his impact on the community will be sorely missed. Graham White was no easy touch as a banker. He didn’t like “deals” or “schemes”. But he let you down easy. He made you almost want to thank him for not making a loan sometimes. And more often that not his suspicion proved to be true. Graham White was a man of compassion. His cup runneth over with love for family, church, friends and community. Yes, he was more than a banker, Graham White was a patriot. What more than that can be said of such a man of character and dignity? Rain Date The New Directions singing group, one of the most popular in the country-, plans to appear at Hicks Field along the Public Parade Saturday night. This is, if it doesn’t rain. In case of rain arrangements have been made for the 8 P.M. performance to be in Swain Auditorium. A photograph and additional information is on Page 6-B. Keeping Pace Albemarle Electric Mem bership Corporation, which serves thousands of customers along the Public Parade continues to ex pand; meeting the needs of the growing Albemarle Area of Tar Heelia. It is fitting that this new surge of growth is being directed by Ed Brown, AEMC executive, at the time when he is president of the 10- county Albemarle Area Development Association. AEMC, headquartered in Perquimans County, has recently been awarded a $901,000 loan from the U. S. Rural Electrification Administration. This loan will finance 70 per cent of an expansion project. The remaining 30 per cent will be obtained from the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation. The expansion includes service for 640 additional customers, 23 miles of distribution line and various system improvements. When the project is completed the EMC will be serving about 7,200 customer-members over 870 miles of line in portions of five counties -of course one is Chowan. Ed Brown and the AEMC are real assets to the Albemarle Area. It would be foolish to attempt here to document the many, many accomplishments. It is save to say, however, that this sector of Tar Heelia is a better place to live, work and play because of AEMC. People who do not mind their own business are rarely equipped to take care of other people’s problems. The Chowan Herald (USPS 106-380) P.O.

A cruise to Columbia is set August 21 and 22 where a pig pickin will be held and sponsored by the Columbia fire department. This has always been a most enjoyable event and the hospitality of Charlie and Midge Ogletree most gracious. The last cruise will be to Manteo September 5-7.

The vice-commodore for cruising, Bev. and Fritz Smith, have done an outstanding job this year and deserve much credit, according to a spokesman. The great decision in life is often whether to lead a selfish life, and amass material wealth, or whether to enjoy life and people and help others.
