A Faithful Servant Is Retiring Carlton Morris Writes- Rural People No Longer Use Corn Cobs And Catalogues NORTHAMPTON TIMK-NIWS RICH SQUARE, N. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 3. 1966 Annual YWA Banquet Held DeLOATCH Continued from-P^i^e 1 It will be haii for the citizens of Northampton County to remember an election when the name of J. Raynor Woodard was not on the ballot. His abili ty to win elections was just as consistent. Woodard served nine regular terms as the representative of Northampton Coun ty in the North Carolina Legislature and was called on for four special sessions during his 18 years of service. Before that he served as a county commissioner and as a town official. Illness in his family and the added demands of running in a three-county district instead of only his own county have apparently weighed heavily in his decision not to file this year for re-elec tion, Rep. Woodard was never known for his flamboyance in the House. But he was known. The list of his legislative com mittee assignments covers the whole range of state business. He managed to adhere to the wishes of his electorate without causing divisions and conten tions. This appeared to be the secret of his success. No one in Northampton County has been more clearly a county-wide leader in a county known for its factionalism. His successor will find a quite dif ferent picture facing him. Not only will he have to run for one of two offices in a three-county district, but he will have to face an enlarged Negro registration and growing Republican strength. Re districting has already started to bring about rural change. Woodard’s decision marks a changing of the guard. There was a time when a skillful county leader could seek the support of the active leaders of his party and be reasonably assured of election. That time is gone. Woodard deserves the thanks of the county’s citizens for he has been consist ent and faithful over many years. It is hoped that his personal and family af fairs will allow him many more active political years. We are now told that almost every segment of our people has Jumped on the wagon train for “economic development" except the rural areas. They, we are told, are dragging their feet. The exact word used was “resist." Rural areas have resisted progress according to the news makers, and many homes don’t even have such elementary things as running water and indoor toilets. The dictionary says “resist" means to set one self against; to oppose; to offer opposition, to strive against; refuse to obey or agree. If the dictionary definitions are correct, and they could very well be wrong as we are in the process of rewriting everythlngincludlngthe history books and the Bible - but granting the dictionary is cor rect, I think “resist” Is an 111 chosen word, even by our slap-dash reporters of ultra liberal persuasion. before they were to be eaten, a couple of neigh bors showed up and said their families were starving. In the mountains and most rural areas, you don’t send a man away hungry. The father told them to help themselves to the beans. The young boy telling the story wept when the men left and he saw the barren bean vines and felt the hunger In his belly. They ware not resisting anything. Mass production hit rural people before it got to the factory workers. I’ve met very few people who resist a better way of life if It's presented to them. Once I worked with an Insurance com pany that kept a slogan before Its employees that read, “It’s not in the land. It’s In the man." But very few men can get it If it Isn’t in the land to begin with. Rural people move up the economic development ladder just as fast as city dwellers If given half a chance, in the country we’ve moved a long way from the days of the old three-holer and red and white corn cobs. We didn't exactly go indoors during the Hoover depression, but the WPAgotus away from corn cobs under FDR. They built new outdoor privies at a time vben most people would have been willing to keep on going behind the barn if they could have some sow belly and beans. Time To Take A Local Interest There will be no doubt be some who will be highly incensed to learn that Hertford and Northampton counties are among those in which low skilled people will be recruited for migration to the Piedmont section. This news is similar in nature to the type of publicity that comes with having an area designated a depressed area available for special aid. When this happened several years ago there were wounded cries of pro test, notwithstanding the fact that the area was and is “depressed” as far as economics goes. Although not very flattering, actually it is a quite practical program which the N. C. Fund proposes. The idea is to take the unemployed and unskilled from the eastern part of the state where few jobs exist and move them to the central part where there are jobs. Besides the 2,000 to be relocated as part of the pro gram, expectations are that others will naturally follow their friends and rela tives and that the total migration to the Piedmont will be even larger. If there is any one thing this area now • many of, it is unemploiyed and uwderemployed. Those of us who have a reasonable income are getting along pretty well. But there are many, many more who are on the edge of dire need in this area. There are more here than in most other parts of the country. The number of people in Northampton Coun ty receiving food stamps is an indication of this need. In Hertford County those certified for food under the free dis tribution program has reached one in seven, an almost astronomical number in a county which prides itself on talking about how much better off it is than are its neighbors. We are glad the N. C. Fund has come up with this very practical solution to one of the area’s most pressing problems. However, it must be recognized that its limited program is not a solution—it is a token effort. It is a move in the right direction but it cannot do the job by itself. The initiation of this program ought to serve to wake people up to the needs of our masses of unskilled laborers. Al most no effort has been made locally to provide increased opportunities for these unfortunate people. It is time a local interest was taken in them—not just leave it to the experts from the foundations and federal government. It is time we recognized it as our duty to hifelp with the solution of this prob lem twe affluent citizens caused ( by mechanizing our farms. We need to take an active interest ourselves in seeing new jobs created for these people and training given to enable them to hold them. And even under the WPA we couldn't afford toilet paper, but we couldn’t afford to order much either and so we had little use for our mall order catalogues. Now there was a case of little resist ance for the pagesfromMontgomeryWardoffered little resistance compared to a red corn cob on a cold morning. And we didn’t have water in our houses unless the roof leaked, but we didn’t re sist development. By rural areas, I believe the government and sophisticated reporters mean anything outside Washington and New York. People riot time and again in New York, vdiich Is the place many people pray to go when they die. Instead of heaven. A good friend wrote that she and her husband had to move out of Washington into neighboring Vir ginia, because of the terrible living conditions In the nation’s capital. Incidentally, she Is a native New Yorker and a brilliant newspaperwoman and her husband is one of those rare oddities, a born New Yorker, They told me that in some sections of Washington, no lady dared set foot even in the daytime for fear of rape, robbery and even mur der. A mountain man told me how his people planted white potatoes in the early spring, but times got so bad they dug up the seed potatoes and ate them. James Still, a Kentucky hill country writer, told a graphic story of a starving family waiting for their string beans to get big enough to sound Just right when they were snapped. Just So I suppose “resist” Is the right word after all for we rural people do resist such things as that. We don’t put up with It. And some don’t have running water any closer than the creek, which is usually polluted l5y factories that bring economic development. CONWAY - The annual Young Woman’s Auxiliary Assoclational Focus Week Banquet was held on Monday night, February 14, at 7 o’clock in the Northampton County High School Cafeteria. Approximately 200 YWA’s, leaders and guests attended. Miss Sarah Ann Hobbs, state YWA director, was speaker. The theme for the banquet, "Let Freedom Ring," was car ried out with American and Christian flags and red and blue ribbons for table decorations. The program included a skit about the Ridgecrest Baptist As sembly and a poem on the YWA house party given by several girls from Northampton County. The theme of the banquet was car ried out in the meditation by Janie Davis and in the speciail music given by a group of girls from Chowan College who sang “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor." Miss Hobbs spokeonfreedom- Its privileges and responsibili ties, She pointed out that girls have the freedom to choose whether or not they will engage in Christian activities. Following Miss Hobbs’ talk she was presented a check for $200 by the assoclational YWA director, Mrs. J. A. Smith. The check represented money col lected from YWA members and Is to be used by Miss Hobbs next summer In Alaska where she will assist with WMU work while on vacation there. association with Lemuel Lee of Murfreesboro. Associates said that De- Loatch's decision caught them by surprise. He had asked for a few minutes on the program to make an announcement. He did not elaborate on his short state ment other than to say that he intended to wage an active cam paign In the new district. He expressed confidence that, on the basis of his last race, he would be better known to the peo ple of the area this time. DeLoatch was Hertford County representative to theN. C. Cotton Promotion Association and is a past president of the Chowan River Yacht Club at Winton. He attended Conway High School and graduated from Wake Forest Col lege in 1949. Married to the former Mar garet Futrell of Murfreesboro, they have three daughters, Char lotte, 14, Mary Margaret, 12, and Nell, 10. He holds a private pilot's li cense. DeLoatch is a native of North ampton County and lived there until 21, the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. DeLoatch, Sr., who live on RFD, Conway. He is a Baptist, Rotarian and a member of the Board of Trus tees of theRoanoke-ChowanHos- pital.

Jonsf? ot Food For Thought In Farming It grieves no one in the United States, except Castro’s Communist friends, to learn that Cuba and Rod China have had a serious falling out. There was to have been a substantial exchange of Cuban sugar for Chinese rice, but Peking fell down on the deal because the Mao re gime did not have the rice to spare. There were widespread crop failures in Red China last year, both in the wheat-growing north and the rice-grow ing south. At the same lime, Cuba pro duced much less rice than usual because Castro expected ample shipments from China and ordered less rice planted. The result has been loudly expressed ill-will, and hunger, in Havana. primarily South Carolina, produce enough rice to satisfy our modest needs and a surplus from which we ship heavy tonnages abroad as part of our foreign aid programs. In the East, Communist North Viet Nam is a rice-eating country, but it now is rice-hungry. Until lately it has been able to buy some rice from Red China, but now China has no rice to spare. South Viet Nam normally grows a sur plus of rice, some of which it used to Inarket in the north, but war conditions have greatly reduced production, and it is said in Saigon that one of the rea sons why Hanoi is so desperately eager to conquer the South is the need of food. The people are being told that the only way to get enough to eat is to fight for it. Rice is a key factor in the world situation, and it seems not unlikely to us that in both Red China and Red Viet Nam, rice may bring on more develop ments than either bombs or diplomacy. The strategic value of rice is in dicative of the growing importance of our farm products as instruments of national policy. With increasing popula tion pressures, the American farmer and the food he grows are becoming more and more important. Here in the Roanoke-Chowan there is food for thought over how to produce in the future more to eat. This is especially important because of the many threats to tobacco, both from being boycotted as an export product and because of the health factors involved in its use. To a lesser degree cotton is also vulnerable since it cannot be eaten, there are many .substitutes for it and other places—like the southwest—that can grow it much more cheaply than can we. e,,Va. ^ V »i.r. suiH/Mrs. Albert.
