Jordan of Minneapolis, Minn., Writes Very Complimentary Letters Before and After Election; First Letter Overlooked By Editor One of the most appreciated con gratulatory expressions received by Mayor Leroy H. Haskett as the result of his recent re-election came from a Midwesterner, a native of Chowan County, Harry H. Jordan, who now is general agent fbr the Kansas City Southern Railway Company and Loui siana & Arkansas Railway Company in Minneapolis, Minn. The letter from Mr. Jordan, of which Mayor Haskett is extremely proud, follows: “I wish to congratulate you on be ing re-elected as Mayor for the third term for our good City of Edenton, as I am confident you will continue to perform the duties as Mayor with the highest degree of efficiency. ”1 wrote the Editor of The Chowan Herald on April 23 and offered to pay for publishing my letter, copy of which is attached, but The Herald did not see fit to print my letter. How- V ever, it is now evident that your past administration as public officer was highly efficient and appreciated by the majority of the citizens of Edenton as you polled enough votes to be re elected and that was all that was ne cessary. Permit me to congratulate you again and to wish you and your fam- ' ily the best of health and happiness.” Prior to the election a very compli- , mentary letter about Mayor Haskett was written to The Herald editor by Mr. Jordan, with instructions to have it published and the charges sent to Minneapolis for payment. However, at the time The Herald’s editor was in more or less of a dilemma due to domestic worries and the subsequent * major operation of his wife so that 1 the letter was overlooked, together ‘ with a number of other matters per- ' taining to The Herald. Although Mr. Jordan’s letter is too 1 late to do Mayor Haskett any good 1 in the election, in fairness to both 1 Mayor Haskett and Mr. Jordan, it 1 follows: < “The people of Edenton are, indeed, 1 fortunate to have Leroy Haskett as candidate for re-election as Mayor. 1 Mr. Haskett has already demonstrat- i ed his capacity for leadership and s civic responsibility as Mayor and has > given unstintingly of his time and es- ' fort to a host of community sendees , and activities and is loved by those ; who have been served by his ministry. • g & w i William!

I consider it an honor and privilege to be with him and to support him, as I am ex tremely confident he will continue to bring honor to our city and leader ship to our people as he has the drive and energy which are so vital if one is to fully meet the complex prob lems as Mayor, and I call upon all of those who are deeply concerned 'about decent and efficient administra tion to support and re-elect Mayor Leroy Haskett.” Drive On Rats Will Be Held Friday, June 10 Orders For Red Squill Must Be Placed By June 4th According to County Agent C.
