THURSDAY, JULY 24. 1947. ~~ THIS^WEEK^BIMjE^THOIJGHT KEEP A CLEAN RECORD: Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.—Romans 4:8. Some Do And Some Don’t Though there is by far not 100% agreement among Edenton citizens, Town Council has decided to install parking meters and on Friday night in special session placed an order for 162 of the machines. The parking problem in Edenton has been more or less of a headache for many years, so that the parking system was adopted in order to remedy or at least relieve the situation. Besides, reports in hand show that many towns about the size of Edenton realize anywhere from SB,OOO to $12,000 annually from parking meters, which amount, if applied to the current expense, would effect a reduc tion in the tax rate, or better still, it can be earmarked for street and sidewalk improvements. Os course, installation of the meters will cause some handicaps and inconveniences on the part of merchants and other citizens as well, but the principal purpose is to provide parking space for those who come to Eden ton to do business, which after all is beneficial to the Town and should offset any inconveniences caused to those who in no small measure monopolize the limited number of parking spaces in the business district. In short, the summarized advantages of meter park ing should result in more available parking space, ac cidents reduced, traffic flow speeded up, space turnover increased, cruising reduced, double parking eliminated, traffic law enforcement made easier, reduction of fire hazards as the result of cleared streets and revenue which can be profitably used in Edenton. Town after town no larger than Edenton is adopting the meter parking policy, so that the local venture can not be classed as an exception. Naturally, there is no little opposition to the parking meters, so that there will obviously be complaints and criticism registered, but after all, Town Councilmen have given a great deal of thought to the idea and adopted the plan in the belief that it will be of benefit to the Town. So that it is a matter of local citizens, who object most, adjusting themselves to meters, thus aiding in making Edenton the hub for more business and better relations with those who come here either foi pleasure or business. Step In Right Direction That Edenton is becoming recreation-minded is re flected from several angles, none the least of which is the fact that boys and girls have devoted 7,005 hours in various forms of recreation under the direction of Tex Lindsay. Besides a playground for white children on Hicks Field is attracting a large number of small tots, and the same is true of the playground for colored children on Hicks Field at the corner of Oakum and Freemason Streets. Add to this the several baseball teams, the swimming pool at the Edenton Naval Air Station and the now pro posed golf course, as well as other recreation facilities at the base and we have a well-rounded program which meets the needs of young and old alike. The Herald is delighted to see these various facilities materialize, for it cannot be disputed that some take part who otherwise might utilize their energy to less wholesome activities. Then, too, under the program youngsters are taught sportsmanship and realize the value of discipline which, together with other advan tages of recreation, should go a long way in preventing juvenile delinquency. It should be interesting to keep a. check on juvenile delinquents and if they are eliminated or even materially reduced, the program will be worth more than any cost involved. Any money spent fpr the development of our boys and girls, both morally and physically, is money well invested, no matter what the amount, for the degree of good accomplished cannot be calculated in dollars and cents. Dignity is often a device to avoid meeting a pressing problem which has developed complications. The people who talk about the brotherhood of man might give a few thoughts to the sisterhood of women. I By T.W. JONES ■fine. Ru>nui4uJJß| WHAVr^S^ sgsgajw l/££MAR R | Heard & Seen By “Buff” . -1 -■■■ i—— - - ■ ——-«♦ It might not be the best brand of baseball played, but here’s betting a stogie that the two junior baseball teams to play a game tonight (Thursday) at 8 o’clock on Hicks Field will put up as hard a fight as any league game. The youngsters have been playing under Tex Lindsay’s recreational program, and when they meet tonight it will be for “blood.” It Will be the first time the boys play under the lights, so that they will no doubt “put on the dog." They're a fine bunch of kids and fans will do well by turning out in big nuVnbers in order to encourage them. Tex Lindsay says the boys have been taught the fundamentals of the national game and that there are in the making some players who might be able to wear a Colonial uniform a few years later on. Let’s go out and give the boys a hand. o According to a news story this week, peace apparently once again reigns in the vicinity of the Edenton Laun- : dry. For some time residents in the neighborhood have been up in arms due to soot and smoke coming from the laundry boiler. Just recently new equipment was in stalled at the laundry which practically eliminates smoke, and as a result a great howl has subsided. It might be said, too, that owners of the laundry are just as well pleased over the improvement as those who reg istered complaints. But now that this argument is settled, what will be next? Os course, we’re expecting to hear plenty of bellyaching about the parking meters until folks get used to them. o It’s so easy for folks to keep putting things off, but in one instance at least, it might mean that youngsters ! will not be allowed to start school next September. All . pre-school children are required to be vaccinated against smallpox and unless they have a certificate to that es- , feet, they cannot go to school. All of which is mentioned ; to remind parents not to postpone this matter any longer \ than necessary. Vaccinations are administered at the 1 Health Department Wednesday afternoons from 1 to 5 o’clock and Friday and Saturday mornings from 9 to 12 1 a’clock. o The “young” fellow visiting me is quite a baseball fan 1 and last summer when he arrived the Colonials were having a hard time. However, “Junior” started to go to the games and practically every game he attended, the Colonials won, and finally claimed the championship. With the Colonials losing two games to Colerain last week, I figured I better send him to Hertford Tuesday night, and he went with Jim Daniels and Johnny Curran. Well, the Colonials won 7-1, so I’m holding him in re serve and will see to it that he’s on hand when we need to win a game right bad. o Spending Sunday on Roanoke Island, I happened to eat dinner at Cherry’s Restaurant in Manteo, and while there, spoke to Mrs. Guy Boyce. Friend Cherry does not have the same menu in Manteo as in his Edenton res taurant, for a guy down there can get crab meat, soft shell crabs and just about any other kind of sea food, which is one pf ray weaknesses. The Boyces are spend ing the summer at Manteo, and while they are enjoying their stay, Mrs. Boyce says she would rather be back in good old Edenton. o What is supposed to be a record was set at the Cho wan Mutual Produce Exchange last week when 14,000 cantaloupes were shipped on a single truck. The load was handled by George Kirk, wholesale produce distribu tor, who sent them to Atlanta. It is reported that be tween 100,000 and 150,000 cantaloupes were shipped from Chowan County last week. Watermelons will soon be moving in quantity, five boats being in the Edenton dock Wednesday morning. o One of my little friends recently composed a poem and wants to see how it looks in print. Here, then, is the poem which was written by Sarah Pierce: A house on a hjll With trees all around And beautiful flowers To cover the ground, Red, yellow, pink and blue, This dream’s for me though It may not suit you. Birds sing from morning till night Not sharp and loud but soft and light. When I think of this I sit and sigh, No, I haven’t got it but I can dream, can’t I ? — In a story appearing on page seven it is stated that the Edenton Sluggers will play on Hicks Field tonight and Sunday afternoon. Since the printing of that seo tion of the paper, a change has been made, so that Tex Lindsay’s junior baseball teams will play tonight (Thursday) and the Cotton Mill team will use the dia mond Sunday afternoon in a Tri-County League game. o However, if the weather man doesn’t soon stop spring* ling the diamond, we might build a few trenches on th» ball park and hold some boat races instead of playing baseball games. 1 -fete CEA>R RATio4 Hvrwnr/ ]pCjV KKo^6C^whA vb^R,Yah ° —/ CAjR £> /(ZJS*rZZZ -j * I Vi V Wu^oß&«i THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N.
