THURSDAY. APRIL 23, 1959.
Be X-rayed!
The mass chest X-ray survey went into opera- !
tion in Edenton Wednesday and will be operated
today (Thursday) April 24, 25, 28, 29, 30 and ■
May 1 and 2.
This is a service which everybody above 15 ,
years of age should take advantage of. It ;s j
the first time in five years that a mass chest X
ray program has been carried out in Edenton and
Chowan County, and it is hoped at least 4,000 peo
ple will take advantage of this opportunity.
The X-ray is free. It is not necessary to un
dress and requires only about two minutes of j
one’s time. There should be nobody who is not
willing to sacrifice two minutes of their time in
order to learn if they are threatened with a vici
ous disease.
Those who know say tuberculosis incidence is
higher in older people so that it is very import
ant that older people be X-rayed while the unit
is in Edenton. Often the X-ray detects not only
tuberculosis, but other conditions are found
which by early treatment can prevent more seri
ous trouble.
The X-ray unit is located in front of the Betty
Shoppe on Broad Street and is in operation each
day from 11 A. M., to 5 P. M.
Everybody is urged to visit the unit to be X
rayed. A report will be mailed to all whose
X-ray is positive, so that proper precautions can
be taken. This is a very worthwhile service
which nobody should pass up.
Better Than Nothing
Unless estimates of construction are too high,
Edenton will at long last have a municipal
building which will more adequately serve the
needs and the firemen will also have room
enough to house their equipment and obviously
become even more efficient in their duties.
There is some opposition to adding to and
renovating the present building at the foot of
Broad Street, but to construct a new building
would involve a great deal more money. The
matter of a municipal building is not new. It
has been considered for a number of years and
when at various times the estimated cost was
presented, that was the end of a new municipal
building.
Now a certain amount of money is available
from the Electric & Water Department, which
it is hoped is enough to complete the building
and, when completed, should not onily be ade
quate but be a credit to the town. Town Coun
eilmen, like some critics, would rather see an
entirely new building, but past experience bears
out the supposition that if nothing is done now.
an adequate municipal building will again be a
dormant issue for a long time to come.
Bids for the work will be opened Thursday
afternoon, April 30, at 2 o'clock, and it is hoped
the figure will not be so high that it will throw
a monkey wrench in the whole works. To have
what appears to be an attractive and convenient
municipal building now is better than waiting
for no telling how long before anything is done
toward erecting an entirely new building.

Unless a lot of people pay their 1958 taxes in
short order, their names will be advertised in
front of the Court House and in The Chowan Her
ald. County taxes must be paid before Monday,
May 4 and town taxes before Monday, May 11, to
prevent advertising. Sheriff Earl Goodwin says
he’ll remain in his office Saturday afternoon,
April 25, and May 2, in order to collect taxes be
fore the delinquent list is turned over to the print
ers. The Sheriff is giving up the two- Saturday
afternoons to accommodate taxpayers, so that
some of ’em ought to see him. - •

At last week’s meeting of the Degree of Poca
hontas, two members from Merry Hill served re
freshments which included pecan pie. Leroy Har
rell. wailing for his wife to leave the meeting, was
invited to the hall to join in the refreshments.
“Have a piece of delicious pie? - ’ I asked him. Just
one word, “nope” was .his answer. “You don’t
know what you are missing,” I told him. “Oh,
yes, I do,” said Leroy, “I’m missing just about
two pounds of weight.”
o
Band Director Derwood Bray had the program
at last week’s Rotary meeting, when he exhibited
and explained various instruments used by band
members, of whom he is justly proud. One of
Rotarians asked Tick Elliott what he played when
he was going to school. “Nothing,” said Tick,
“except plain hell.” Anyway Derwood didn’t get
through with his program and it will be continued
at today’s Rotary meeting.
o
At Thursday’s meeting of the Methodist Men’s
Club the matter of finances came in for a share
of the discussion. J. R. DuLaney, church treas
urer, had church contributions broken down,
which showed that quite a few people haven’t
paid anything this year. Which brought the re
mark from one of the members. “Have you
checked on income reports?”
- o
Red Men have been very busy painting and fix
ing up their hall. The job was given to a com
mittee and it was while the color to be used was
being considered one fellow piped up “I am in
favor of any color, just so it’s white.” Anyway,
the color is light green and look’s very good. Le
roy Harrell, sachem, urges some of the members
to come to a meeting even if it is only to see how
the hall looks.
o
Harry and Martha Grummey came over from
Washington to spend the week-end and, of course,
tried their luck at fishing. They didn’t do so hot
(they’re furriners now). Anyway, Martha got all
het up while baiting a hook. This darned (I think
that was the word) worm crawls off twice as fast
as I put it on.”
o
A number of Edenton people went to Cherry
Point over last week-end to witness “Semper Fi,”
a musical comedy presented at the Marine Corps
j Air Station. Mrs. Joon Gay Aynes, a former
Edentonian, wrote the play, so that Edenton
friends were very much elated over the success
j of the affair, which they report was “very good.”
Frank Roberts, who went to Pottsville, Pa.,
about a year ago, has come back to Edenton to be
associated as program director of radio station
WCDJ. Frank had this to say upon his return:
"I don’t think any words I write, or anything I
say to anyone, could adequately describe the warm
feelings I have for this community. I’ve never,
in all my life, been so pleasantly greeted by so
many good friends. Folks have taken the time
and trouble to call me while I was on the air;
some people have stopped me on the street, to say
'welcome back'. It’s just the kind of good feeling
that is so typical ot Edenton. Edenton ... a towr
i I’d love to call my own. This, from a guy who’s
done a lot of traveling around, who, in the.las
ten years, has lived in more towns and cities than
quality “Value-Checked” used equipment is
displayed on our lot.

he cares to remember . . . but
Edenton is the one place I settled
on. Certainly no towfn north of
the Mason-Dixon line can even
come close .to comparing with
Edenton, not only in friendliness
and warmth and good feelings,
but in beauty and pride. So be
lieve me when I say it’s a
great kick to once again be
working with Dick Schuman and
the entire staff of WCDJ; to be
able to live and work and play
in Edenton . . . to be amongst
the people I love so very much.”

derived from the effort. She al
so stressed the importance of
studying the subject thoroughly
and doing the best quality work
possible on the craft in order to
have outstanding results. One
especially inspiring example she
mentioned was of a woman who
started woodcarving only a year
ago, whose articles are already in
demand at rewarding prices.
From the three graceful geese
she showed to the group, it was
easy to see that the woman had
really studied her craft, selected
the wood for the extra effect the
, grain would give in the finished
product, and taken great care in
the entire process.
Miss Gordon’s display of a
braided rug in muted shades of
greens, yellows and browns be
side material woven for draper
ies in stripes of contrasting col
ors, together with accessories of
woodcarvings, framed bronzed
metalcraft etchings, and a dried
flower arrangement created a
beautifully coordinated effect
which can be achieved only by
careful planning of the use of ,
crafts in the home.
Decision Reached For ,
Municipal Building
Continued from Page I—Section 1
Edenton has been considered at
intervals over a long period of
time. Town employees are han
dicapped due to cramped quar
ters and the Fire Department for
a long time has been unable to
even house all of the trucks, not
to mention lack of ample room
for other activities.
After seriously considering the
plans and specifications, Town
Councilmen are of the opinion
that, despite some objection,
when the building is completed
it will not only be attractive, but
will also be a credit to the town.
