Town Has Its Problems Two ticklish problems now face Town Council, one having to do with transferring title of the Edenton Arm ory to the North Carolina National Guard and the other whether a zoning ordinance should be adopted, both of which were given some consideration at the meeting held Tuesday night. The idea of zoning isn’t a new one, for it has bobbed up a number of times and a few years ago it had advanc ed to the point where all details had been worked out and was ready for a vote by the Councilmen. However, at that time so much opposition developed that the idea was dropped. If a home owner is to be protected from objectionable conditions, a zoning ordinance is necessary, for under the present system almost any kind of a business can be started in any part of town where a site is available and as close to a property line as desired. At present it is understood that a few places of business are contemplat ed adjoining very desirable residential property. To zone, however, definite lines will have to be drawn for residences, business and industry and certain require ments will have to be complied with When building. To do this, some will be benefitted while on the other hand some will feel that they have been damaged. If Edenton is to progress, at least two things are ne cessary, one being extension of the city limits and the other is to adopt a zoning ordinance. It is understood that Edenton is the largest town in this section of the State which does not have a zoning ordinance, and some much smaller towns have long ago adopted zoning. At present there are precious few building lots in Edenton. so that if the town is to grow, there must he more area available to build houses or places of busi ness, so that the extension of the city limits is very es sential. Transferring title of the armory to the National Guard apparently meets with the general approval of Town Council. The armory has many times played the role of a ‘‘sore thumb” in that a considerable amount of money is.: constantly needed to properly maintain the building. It is.understood that if the armory is deeded to the Na tional Guard it will still be available for various kinds of community functions, except for the fact that it will be entirely in charge of the commanding officer of the local National Guard unit. Both problems are being considered by Town Council men and, of course, they welcome any suggestions on the part of any citizen who is interested. Join The Fight! Mrs. Aubrey Turbeville, chairman of the Chowan County Cancer Crusade, this week reports less than SIOO in contributions to help fight cancer. Os course, the re port is incomplete, but she expected far more from those canvassers who have already reported. The Herald hopes the first report is no indication of the attitude Chowan people have toward fighting this insidious killer, which Is no respector of persons.

Os course, work on the part of the boys is still available, but the money necesary isn’t as plentiful as free labor. In view of the possibility that the George Washington Chair will have to be moved from the present Masonic lodge room in the Court House, some of the Masons have been hinting that the chair can be sold for enough to cover what funds are needed to complete the new temple. The Masons have decided not to move into their new home until it is complete in every detail, and when that time comes, the temple will be a credit not only to old Unanimity Lodge, but Edenton as a whole. The boys who have been “putting out” both in work and money are to be congratulated. Members of the Degree of Pocahontas will stage an Easter dance in the Edenton armory Saturday night, April 17. The ladies have secured Herb Carter and his band from Greenville to furnish music. The same or chestra played for the Easter dance last year, and so satisfactory was the music that many who attended the dance requested a return engagement. Last year I invit ed the members of the band to go to my house after the dance for a little snack. They ate up a whole ham, so that the boys can eat just about as well as they can play. No ham on deck this time, though! o It isn’t hard to get rid of money these days, but on Tuesday L. L. Rawles of the Norfolk Distributing Com pany was here in order to give away a check for $350 or a SSOO government bond. The check represented a jackpot prize won on a television show by John DeForest Pettus, Jr., but he could not be found. It was learned that Pettus was a Marine stationed in Edenton, but since he won the prize he has moved to Jonesboro, Arkansas. Well, the money will be good when he gets it. Anyway, Mr. Rawles appeared somewhat disappointed because he couldn’t find Pettus and deliver the prize in person. o Members of the Methodist Church School assembled in the new addition for the first time last Sunday, and it was a proud and d elighted group. The new Church School building is the realization of a dream which has bobbed up and subsequently died a number of times throughout the years. But the present pastor, the Rev. E. B. Edwards, worked doggedly on the project and prin cipally through his persistency, the dream has finally I been realized. A record attendance was on hand last Sunday, and with new chairs which arrived this week, it will he even more desirable to attend and for attendance to increase. It is the first time in the history of the church that separate rooms are provided for the various classes. Th<> building is about completed, so that tin. only thing left now is for members and friends to dig down in their pockets to pay off the remaining indebted ness. —o Fishermen last week said they never before saw so many white perch caught in nets in this. neck of the ; woods. In fact, it was reported that in some instances boats were filled to capacity before the nets were em ptied. Then on Friday herring were reported so plenti ful that from bridges and banks along small creeks they could be dipped up by the bushel. If all this is true, I’d like to know why in the dickens other kinds of fish refuse to bite a hook—at least they have not messed with my hook the last three or four times I’v tried my luck. o Want to see something beautiful? You don’t have to go outside Edenton. Just take a ride about town and look at the beautiful flowers and trees now in bloom. And don’t miss old St. Paul’s Churchyard, which takes a fel low’s eye every time in passing. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C-, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1964. BNK9 1 Avm» *IW ' 1 " m "~ Because all tournament casters use the double haul (or double pull, left hand haul or line-hand double pull) many anglers have the idea that it is worthwhile only in distance casting. Actually, it is helpful in all kinds of fly fishing. This cast is called the double haul because the line is pulled on both the back and the forward cast. It can and should be used in varying degrees, de pending on what the angler is trying to accomplish. Tournament distance casters pull six or eight feet of line to make their long shoots. Most of the time in fishing you won’t pull more than six or eight inches. Here’s the way Ted Trueblood explains it: “Suppose I’m false-casting 30 feet of line to dry my fly. Instead of do ing all the work with my right hand, here is how it goes: The rod starts back. I give a little pull. The line goes into the backcast and I let it take 10 inches of line. The rod starts forward. I make another 10-inch pull. In each case the pull comes, just after I feel the rod pick up the weight of the line in the air. Remember that , your hands must be together at the [ start of both the backcast and the! forward cast. The routine soon be-1 comes fully automatic. It is amaz-1 ing how little effort is required of the j right hand once the previously idle | left starts doing part of the work. It, means better casts all day and less 1 fatigue in the evening.” Now suppose you’re fishing a spot' where you have to cast directly into i the wind. You simply pull a little harder and farther on the forward cast. The backcast, with the aid of the wind, will take care of itself. Or,: if the position is reversed and yoU| have trouble making the backcast j straighten into the wind, pull on it i and let the forward cast go. Drive ■ the line out low when casting into the wind; shoot it high when casting with it. The double haul can be used with any kind of fly tackle. No matter what you use, it will improve your .casting and make it easier. For real distance, you must have a suitable weight-forward line, but for ordinary j dry-and-wet fly work a double taper will do. A powerful rod is not neces sary. look to Plymouth for In the low-price field, ONLY PLYMOUTH brings you NEW POWER for flashing new performance—NEW POWER for still more driving ease—NEW POWER for greater driving safetyl I _____ ■■■3 i'~‘ ■ ay. i Just as Plymouth has always brought you the newest developments in riding comfort and driving safety, Plymouth now brings you the newest power advances in the low-price field I Come in and try Plymouth’s sensational new performance, experience its great new driving ease—let us arrange your demonstration drive today I nowtrfllWi Pow*r Brikn utd Row SMrini •ash avallablt it tow extra cost _ " CHOWAN MOTOR CO., Inc.
