A county ABC board Is ap
pointed by a joint meeting of the
boards of county commission
ers, education and health.
Members of the board of com
missioners will be out of the
county this weekend and most of
next week attending their annual
state convention in Asheville. Be
cause of their expected absence
next week, they voted to call the
joint meeting for Monday night,
August 30 at 8:00 p.m. In the
courthouse in Jackson.
During Tuesday’s meeting spe
cial state ABC officer James L.
Wagoner of Gatesville told the
commissioners about plans for
Issuing retail beer permits in the
county.
A special hearing in the court
house next Monday at 11:00 a.m.
will be held to acquaint all In
terested merchants with the pro
cedure for obtaining license to
sell beer and wine.
Wagoner said application
forms could be filled out at the
meeting Monday, He said it nor
mally took about 10 days to pro
cess applications.
After processing, applications
approved by the state ABC board
are turned over to town boards
and county commissioners for in-
town permits and the commis
sioners only for out-of-town per
mits. It is customary for the lo
cal board to review the applica
tions before a state permit is
granted.
Wagoner said on this basis it
would probably be Wednesday,
September 8 before beer sales
would begin. This would be the
next day after the commission
ers regular monthly meeting on
Tuesday, September 7 - delayed
one day because of Labor Day
holiday.
Wagoner said the state would
give out all initial permits at the
same time and place on the same
day so that no one merchant would
have an advantage over another in
having beer to sell first.
Wagoner said that for In-town
sales “It costs approximately
$100 to go In the beer business.’’
The ABC officer said for in-town
sales four licenses - town, coun
ty, state and federal - are re
quired. Out-of-town merchants
must secure three licenses for
beer sales.
One reason expressed by com
missioners for wanting to wait
until after their convention to se
lect an ABC board was, as ex
pressed by John Boone, “I think
it will be good to talk to people
(commissioners) from wet coun
ties’’ before selecting a board
for Northampton.
Rich Square mayor Charles E.
Myers suggested either C. J.
Freeman or Emmett Bolton from
Rich Square would make good
members.
Wet .campaign manager Bart
Burgwyn of Jackson is another
who has received some mention
them.’’
In condensed form Seaver’s
post referendum statement said
in part:
“We now call upon every DRY
not to ‘lay-me-down-to-sleep,’
but to continue, with increasing
faith, valor and vigor for even
tual victory. Over half of the 100
N. C. counties are stlllfreefrom
county - wide ABC (ALCOHOL
BEYOND CONTROL) stores.
Much was left undone, this time,
that surely should have been done,
which made the difference be
tween victory and defeat. Surely
we are wise enough to profit by
our mistakes.
“We know precisely why the
WETS won and the DRYS lost
this contest. It is now the DRY
responsibility to puncture and
explode the false doctrines of the
ABC-WBW false prophets. We
shall fight, not “again,” but con
tinue, on-and-on, with victory as
our goal!”
Seaver says the CHRISTIAN
UNIONS will proceed immediate
ly, full time, to revive and con
tinue, by house-to-house, and
shop-to-shop canvass, and other
wise, its seven-point program,
most of which was first inaugu
rated in Northampton twelve
years ago. The seven points are:
1. To distribute large collec
tions of FREE dynamic litera
ture.
2. To solicit new members for
the CHRISTIAN UNIONS. They
now have over 950 members in
five counties and some in other
counties and states. They wish to
increase that to 5,000 in this
area, and 100,000 in the state, as
soon as possible. They also plan
to organize a national “AMERI
CAN CHRISTIAN UNION, with a
goal of millions of militant mem
bers, with solutions to our im
portant problems.
3. The Union has a CHRIS
TIAN ACTION BALLOT of six
teen live wire questions on which
people are asked to vote. Hun
dreds in many counties, and in
other states have voted, nearly
all of them 100%. The 100% vot
ers include reli^ous and educa
tional leaders and Christian lay
men such as Dr. C. Aubrey Hearn,
Dr. Bruce Whitaker, Rev. Oscar
Creech, Rev. E. R. Shuler, Rev.
Lonnie Sasser, Rev. Vance Lewis
and hundreds of others. “This is
a powerful instrument and we
know how to use it,” Seaver says.

Observers credited public
financing with being the chief de
ciding factor in causlngthe county
to favqr liquor sales. The two
precincts closest to Halifax
County stores — Gaston and
Garysburg - voted wet.
The question of how the county
was to pay its $25,000 portion of
$150,000 improvements planned
for the airport has plagued North
ampton officials and the Airport
Authority since the project was
first planned earlier this year.
As part of the area’s commit
ment to Sunbeam Corporation to
get it to locate in the Roanoke-
Chowan a promise to lengthen,
light and pave the Tri-County
Airport runway was made.
Northampton County’s board of
commissioners endorsed the Idea
of the airport improvements in a
special meeting on February 8
but have since been in a quandary
as to how to finance it. Complete
ly dry except for beer sales in
Gaston, Northampton has not
had “non-tax” derived revenues
to spare for projects such as the
airport.
The commissioners action of
February 8 was conveyed to Sun
beam by special letter and was
one of the key steps in finally
nailing down the industry to locate
in the area.
Sentiment in the county has
been closely divided over the air
port. The portions of the county
closest to Bertie and Hertford
Counties have supported it. The
areas close to Halifax County
have not been much inclined to
want to spend county money for
the airport since they are closer
to Roanoke Rapids field than to
Tri-County.

dum on the question.
Northampton County manager
Melvin Holmes told “Your Home
Newspaper” last week that if the
ABC vote passed “we probably
won’t have an airport tax vote.”
Homes indicated that if thewhis-
key vote failed the county plans
were to vote on the airport tax on
November 2, date of the state road
bond referendum.
Perhaps ironically the portion
of the county least in favor of
spending money on Tri-County
Airport gave the heaviest wet vote
which will now make the improve
ments possible.

who’s in control of the range?
Housewives like Trudy Tarheel
learned long ago that properly pre
pared dishes must be cooked at specific
temperatures—under controlled heat.
And they also found that only electnc
ranges gave them the total heat con
trol they needed for best results.
Are you in control in your kitchen? If
you’ve ever burned the bacon because
of an old-fashioned stove, you know
what we mean. You can solve that
problem with a new, modern electric
range. It’s the only way to be certain
of total temperature control. Why not
have a talk with your appliance man
today? He can show you how an all
electric kitchen might be the wisest
investment you’ll ever make.

Why do so many
Eastern Carolina schools,
hospitals and restaurants
serve Maola milk?
For good reasons:
1. QUALITY CONTROL: Maola has the best staffed
quality control department of any North Carolina
dairy, entrusted with guarding the freshness and
purity of every drop of Maola milk, every spoonful of
Maola ice cream.
5. VARIETY OF PRODUCTS; Maola is more than
just a milk company. Maola offers a complete selection
of milk, ice cream, dairy and allied products—Eastern
Carolina’s largest line of dairy foods.
When you consider these reasons, it’s easy to see why
so many Eastern Carolina schools, hospitals and res
taurants serve Maola milk. Do you?
2. MAOLA IS ALMOST EVERYWHERE: You’ll find
Maola dairy products almost everywhere in Eastern
Carolina. In fact, Maola is Eastern Carolina’s leading
independent dairy, serving only Eastern Carolina.
3. LOCALLY PRODUCED AND PROCESSED: Maola
milk is locally produced on dairy farms in Eastern
Carolina and processed nearby. Each year Maola pays
local dairy farmers in excess of three million dollars.
4. CUSTOMER SERVICE: You can’t build a business
as large as Maola’s without superior customer service.
Modern facilities and competently trained personnel
enable Maola to better serve every customer — large
or small.
