PAGE TWO Scoutin’ A round By PETER CARLTON Attractive windows which are doing a job of “silent salesmanship” and helping keep our town from looking like a morgue after business hours include the Betty Shoppe, Quinn Furniture Company, Edenton , Furniture Company and the Tank Gas Company. o We’ve been hearing nice comments about the recent move of the new type violation ticket which the - Edenton police will be using as soon as they are printed. Designed for visitors to Edenton who are not familiar with traffic regulations, they are definitely not intended as an invitation to commit violations, nor meant for habitual offenders. As a matter of fact, a record will be kept by the department of the violation. A repeated offense will leave the de partment no alternative but to follow the due process of the law. We’re happy to see that Elizabeth City has instituted a somewhat similar action in giving the visitors a "glad hand." That group of citizens in Wind sor are certainly eager (o get on the ball. Met with F. H. Britt, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Trade Association, and with Register of Deeds Mizelle. The latter is secretary of the County Board of Commis sioners in Bertie. While nothing definite could be said concerning the Town Board, the Rotary Club and the American Legion, those contacted felt sure that all would back up the project due to the pressing need for action on the Chowan Ri\er bridge. We traversed the Chowan River bridge twice this week, and certainly can’t: coinplain about the niimher of men working on it. We CAN PRO TEST the type of repairs being made, however.

We urge you 1 to pay your taxes now and thus avoid the penalty I which will begin on February 1. I A PENALTY OF 1% WILL BE ADDED ON 1946 TAXES NOT PAID BEFORE FEBRUARY 2. AN OTHER 1% WILL BE ADDED MARCH 2 AND AN ADDITIONAL y 2 OF 1% WILL BE ADDED FOR EACH ADDITIONAL MONTH TAXES ARE UNPAID. J. A. BUNCH I SHERIFF OF CHOWAN COUNTY I i pierce and Merchants Association was . telling of at; accident that happened just recently on the Williamston bridge. Repairs of a similar nature were made and with the wet weather,, the slick road and boards caused a ca” 1 to skid right through the guard rails; , and off the bridge. We’re not pro-: ' fessing to be experts, nor are we try- | ’ ing to tell experts' how to run the it business but serious consideration! should be given in advance to protect j the lives of human beings, No prices i can possibly be placed on the loss , of 1 • one human life. I j It might he well for the de partment to give the same atten tion to the Fish Hatchery bridge, j i for many complaints have been heard concerning it. The people have been informed ; that the State Highway and Public: i Works Commission is well aware of j the condition of the Chowan River! bridge; It states, however, that it | would be unwise at this time to think about permanent repairs. It is of in- I terest to note that the chairman of ' the Commission speaks that a bridge! of permanent nature should be built ; “within a reasonable time." The people are happy to learn that the de- j partment is giving this matter seri ous consideration. However, they do , want to know that the Chowan River , bridge is placed on the Class A prior ity schedule They would like to know also “when is a reasonable time?" While it is not for us to di vulge sources of information, we have it on reliable information | that one merchant in Edenton re- J ceives over $.‘15,000 a year busi- i ffßouqutn I cb&IKA ■ I IMITATION | BANANA I I Pint $2.25 I Austirvg&Nichols f 6Co. mz, Inc.

Even forgetting the dollars which are taken in from tourists, and considering the sums of money in the aggregate, which are taken in by all the merchants of Eden ton, Chowan and Bertie counties by customers traveling over this span both ways, one can readily see how vitally it affects this area. Eddie Bufflap will be pleased to hear that Bill Davey, correspondent fur the —Bertie—Ledger-Advance in Windsor, keeps up with his "Heard and Seen” column which appears in the Chowan Herald. Davey says it gives some good personal slants on people in Edenton. Who can deny that Buff does have a "homey” style of writing—and he writes just as he speaks. A prominent Elizabeth City busi ness man expressed a great deal of admiration for the people of Edenton recently. In speaking of the acquisi tion of the base by the city, he admit ted he was a bit critical as to who would grab it up. His statement that probably some big fellow would get it, was quietly met by the Edentonian with the reply, “What difference does it make who actually got it? All of us will derive benefits directly or in directly." The Elizabeth City busi ness man says he’ll never have any thing critical again to say about peo ple who “stick together." George Twiddy of the insur ance agency named after him self deserves a great deal of cre dit from his fellow citizens in the way he has been serving as a “welcoming committee” to new comers to Edenton. The Cham ber of Commerce and Merchants Association is highly apprecia tive of his efforts. We must not forget all those merchants who paid money out of their own pockets to join in placing a “wel come advertisement” in The Chowan Herald for our business newcomers. Miss Francesca I.a Monte, executive secretary of the International Game Fish Commission, just completed a ten day tour of North Carolina, ac companied by Bill Sharpe of the State Division of Advertising and News. She is known in big-fishing circles. From listening to the enthusiastic tales of local Isaac Waltons who fish for the sturdy large-mouthed bass and jack pike in the creeks, ponds and rivers around Chowan County it would seem that they get as great a thrill as the so-called "big game fish hunters.” Speaking of creating a fishing business, Frank Williams, newly appointed Captain and command ing officer of the National Guard unit which will be activated shortly as a cannon company, tells of a fellow who has a private lake stocked with all kinds of small game fish and who has worked up a sizable husiness connected with it.
