Continued from page 1 Perquimans, Tyrrell and Washington all 18. Folks, there is something we aijen’t doing right along the Public Parade to attract tourists and-or get them to spend some dollars hare Granted, the community had a. sad experience with a motel owner who apparently didn’t know nor care for the traveling public. This situation has been turned around. The new owners of Coach House Inn are to be congratulated for the progress made in a short period of time. The Habit Motel owners have been and continue to be not only good business citizens, but are community leaders. The answers to the continued escape of “Smokeless dollars’’ from the Public Parade are deeper than a new motel and restaurant. The community needs to provide more support of Edenton-Chowan Chamber of Commerce, the Edenton Historic Commission and Historic Eden ton, as starters. There is no need for the establishment of just another committee. The framework is in place, it just must be exercised more and more. Another Stab A chapter of the N. C. Smyphony has been recently organized along the Public Parade. This is another stab at bringing into the area a touch of culture which has been absent for a number of years. : The Little Symphony has been in concert here in past years; so long ago it is hard to remember. We do remember that Mrs. Nelson Chears handled the project almost singlehandedly. Enthusiasm declined and the Edenton stop was dropped from the Little Symphony schedule. Now comes along new growth. Mrs. Mary Rhea Gardner is spearheading the efforts this time around which will brings the N. C. Symphony Chamber Orchestra to the Public Parade to join with the Chowan Choral Scoeity and Holmes Concert Choir in a per formance January 28. Ticket sales are being pushed by members of the local board in general and Mrs. Terry Wacklin in particular. You’ll be hearing more and more about the new stab of in jecting this dimension of culture along the Public Parade as Sep tember is membership month. It will be necessary to get your membership early since space for the January concert is limited. Shepard-Pruden Librarian Issues Report On Changes Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library’s total circulation for the year ending June 30 neared 30,000, according to a report recently released by Mrs. Louise Darby, librarian. Total patron count was placed at 13,813. Forty-five storytime programs attracted 641 children while 114 library programs had an at tendance of 2,667 people. This year the library installed three paperback book racks in the county to try to help the folks who couldn’t get into town as much. They have been well received and accounted for a circulation of 1,685 ■hooks. -The Edenton Women’s Club and thia Garden Clubs have helped. The Chowan Herald (USPS 106-380) P.O.

Edenton Is Third Time Winner Gov. Jim Hunt has announced that Edenton has been named winner of the Governor’s Com munity of Excellence award for the third time. The award goes to communities with under 15,000 people which have met requirements design ed to make them more attractice to economic development. Gov. Hunt said, “Progress in North Carolina depends upon communities people who want tos#f{&fct«l life for their* fellow residents and future generations. By winning this award, residents of Edenton have taken a major step closer to that goal. The Communities of Excellence Award is administered by the N. C. Department of Commerce. Communities must qualify for the award each year. Among the 10 standards that must be met are: An economic promotional organization must exist for the purpose of pormoting the com munity for industrial plant location. The new, much needed microfische reader was given by the Women’s Club. The flowers at tour time and the plant for Library Week were both gifts from the Garden Clubs. Displays at the library continue to provide exposure for the talents and interests of our folks. ■ The Library Board has again tried to get money to finish the upstairs. Bids were requested from many sources and the total amount needed came to under SIB,OOO. When the front heat pump acted up again and wait out in December and again in June, the County decided to buy a new heat pump rather than finish the up stairs. The county manager said will do well in this area. For any further information, you can contact John Geer at 482- 7733 or stop by their office in Edenton. Free service is provided to all public buildings. A development corporation must exist. The corporation must have the ability to finance the construction of industrial clients, and that can option, purchase and sell property. Industrial sites must be available. Community must conduct a cleanup-fixup cmapaign. Department of Commerce representatives visit each com munity to assure the standards signs designating them as win ners. They are also given special promotional attention when working with industries looking for a plant site in North Carolina. Gov. Hunt said, “Being an award winner does not guarantee overnight success, but the com munity spirit and professionalism enbodied in this program definitely improves a com munity’s odds for successful economic development. Gov. Hunt will present the award to community winners at a statewide economic development conference October 27 in Raleigh. that he would look into the possibilities of finding some grant money for the upstairs. We hope this will be successful. Staff changes occurred this year. Anne Jones left to become the Perquimans County Librarian and Maris Owens and Ada Barringer retired. Goldie Morris was hired and Vickie Chappell was rehired. Schools To Close For Holiday The Edenton-Chowan School System will be closed for the Labor Day holiday, Monday, September 7.

Also charged with a DUL be was found guilty and given a 00 day sentence suspended, upon payment of $175 fine and cast of CT&T the company to earn what the commission allowed when costs continue to rise. Carolina Telephone needs a higher rate of return to attract investors because investors today can select from a number of alternate investments that pay higher rates of return and have lower risk.” Williamson said the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently authorized ATA.T to earn an overall rate of return of 12.75 per cent and more than 17 per cent on stockholder investment. He also contends that investments in the smaller companies are “clearly more risky and require somewhat higher returns.” ■* Another reason Carolina Telephone needs higher revenues, Williamson said, is that changes in policy by the FCC have allowed competition in the long distance and telephone equipment market. “The revenues from these portions of our business have helped hold local service rates down,” he said. “As those areas become competitive, the revenue support will be lost or reduced. Our investors know that this creates additional risks for them. Our residential customers have been paying for local service at rates below costs, but because of deregulation much of the subsidy that has made that possible will be lost as we have more and more competition and deregulation of the services that have generated the subsidy.” Carolina Telephone currently plana to spend more than SB6- mission in construction of telecommunications facilities in 1981 and sll6-million in 1988. The company serves some 560,000 customers in 50 of North Carolina’s 100 counties.
