Cannot Afford Not To It is distressing news to hear that Chowan Coun ty is standing a good chance of losing the blood bank, as well as other valuable Red Cross ser vices. The situation has come about due to the failure of the county to raLe its Red Cross quota. In fact, the county is SSOO short and unless this amount is raised before July 15, the county will experience a great loss. Tom Ridgeway, administrator at Chowan Hos pital, and Dr. Archie Walker, Chairman of the Chowan County Red Cross Chapter, are in posi tion to know how important it is to have blood when it is needed at the hospital, and how much of a handicap and even hardship it will cause patients if this blood is not immediately avail able for use in emergencies. Without blood on hand, when the need arises it is necessary first to ask a friend to donate blood. Then more time is lost to determine if the b'ood matches that of the patient. And during this time a patient may die. And who can say who this particular patient might be. It will be too late then to decide to make a contribution to the Red Cross for the services cf a blood bank. With the uncertainty as to Who will be the next person to require a blood transfusion, it behooves every person in Chowan County to step forward and make a contribution toward this SSOO deficit before July 15 and thus assure continuation of the blood bank. No house-to-house canvass is anticipated, but contributions will be gladly received by Dr. Archie Walker or Gene Ward, treasurer 'of the Chowan Red Cross Chapter. Vacation Suggestions More people vacation in July, August and Sep tember than during any other three-month period of the year. Most people who travel those months will make the trip by car. About 3 out of 10 trips during the period will be less than 100 miles. More than half will be less than 200 miles. With these facts in mind, the National Safety Council issued t’mse be'Dful hints for vacationers: Before You Start Your Trip— 1. Jot down the items vou want to take alone You’ll think of more things to add to th-' list a» the big dav apnmaches. And vou’U probably eliminate a lot of the excess baggage. 2. Have vonr car s-M-vi-ed thorouph’v. P-”' SDecial attention to lights, brakes, tires and steering 3 Mak=> sure vou take along such items as a f’rst-aid kit, snare the and ja a ns of life. 7 Look C’t tor the other fellow. A good driver is a defensive driver. 3. Don’t overdo >t on the road Take rest stops often, and limit your day’s driving to 300- 400 miles. And when you arrive at your destination— Don’t overdo it! “Fun is fun.'’ thn Council agre°s. “but too much exercise can be dangerous. Plav in -"od eration—and rest when you’re tired.’’ Other suggestions; 1. Swim only as far as yon know vow can. 2. Look where you’re diving. Before von dive, find out about underwater obstacles and the wa'er’s dn'-th. 3. Enter cold water gradually. 4 If your boat capsizes, stay with it till help arrives 5. When it’s hot. drink lots of liquid® 6. Better be pale than parboiled—don’t get half baked under the sun. ■ ij' \ [■L'yyrTtn^Mfc. ■4^MlMiii#4lJHi WfrAwtiP ■miiiiimiiMrygfc from your farming operation doesn't come \S. ** —». 1 * A > easy these days.

Willie and Dorothy nl ready had a house full of children, so that the unexpected trio has added to a lot of difficulties for the family. In fact, the Rankins are badly in need of baby clothing and equipment. A screen ed crib is especially needed and Willie just don’t have the money to buy what is absolutely needed. Anybody who wants to help the family in a time of need are requested to contact Mrs. J. H. Mc- Mullan at the Welfare office or Asa Griffin, who will be glad to call for any articles donated. o Gus Bunch was in sort of an embarrassing pre dicament at Monday night’s Red Men weiner roßst. Gus looked around and failed to see Gus Nixon and Kenneth Worrell and said “I’m in a tight spot, for I can eat my share but I just can’t eat Gus Nixon’s and Kenneth Worrell’s share, too. Any way the situation eased somewhat When Gus Nix on put in his appearance just in time to waylay a gang of “hot dogs”. o Howard Ange and Milton Bass have been shov ing out some extra good meals &t the Methodist Men’s Club meetings. So good are they at the job that on Thursday night they were re-elected to serve for another year. They appealed for a little assistance in way of helping to serve and clean up after the meal, but Jess Wilson said he couldn’t be of much help, for his hands are allergic to soapy water. o Evidently some young girl lost her purse con taining a small amount of Change. The purse was found on Broad Street by Frank Hughes, who will gladly return it to the owner if it is properly identified, qs to color and approximate amount of change in it. It can belong to only one person. o A brief letter was received from Margaret Stiffler, who lives in Johnstown, Pa. She renew ed her subscription and had this to say: “Enclos ed please find my renewal to The Herald. I miss the hospital news. 1 am also interested in the proposed textile concern 'and hope it is success ful. Even though Ido not live in your state, I’m still a Rebel at heart and look forward to receiv ing the paper each Saturday morning. Best wish-1 es for the continued success of The Herald ana* Edenton.” I say “amen” to Mrs. Stiffler’s refer ence to the hospital news and the proposed tex tile concern. o Veterans of Foreign Wars and members of the VFW Auxiliary are particularly interested in th. United States flag and call attention to the fol lowing: First, the 49-star flag—accounting for the addi tion of Alaska —becomes official July 4. Second, but not to go into effect for another year, is the 50-star flag for use after Hawaii compleittes tht procedure of becoming the 50t)h state. 'Hawaii, voted admission by Congress holds its statehood referendum June 27. The 50-star flag can't be ‘ come official until the July 4 'after the President’s , proclamation naming the new state. That can’t ‘ be before 1960. Just what form the 50-star flag will take has not yet been decided. Although the 49-star flag goes into official use July 4, Pentagon officials say that with some exceptions, the armed forces will continue using 48-Star flags until they wear out. The same procedure applies for all citizen flag owners as well. > o Mayor John Mitchener spoke at last week’s Ro tary meeting, but he didn’t feel much out of p ace, for among the Rotarians were three Town Council men and three members of the Board of Public Works. Anyway, Mayor Mitchener pointed out some of the problems of the town-and welcomed any constructive criticism or suggestions from Ro tarians which will be of benefit to the town. Jchn R. Lewis attended the Red Men meeting Monday night, but he doesn’t know much about what happened. Jchn spent the week-end ait At lantic City at an Admiral Corporation convention and just can’t finish talking about the wonderful time he had. ■ - - V; : ■ ■ *t ’ THE CHOWAN HBUOJJ. EDSHTQH.

It la anaflned to (Usena slans of matters at general Interest and major mipertaaee. Time stood still in the legis ative halls at 3 P. M. Saturday, rone 20, and 12 minutes later, .s measured by unofficial clocks, President Bamhardt and Speak er Hewlett simultaneously de clared the 1959 General As sembly adjourned sine die. In this era of the Research Triangle 'it was not necessary that an at tendant climb a ladder to perform the ancient rite of stopping the clock; this year it was necessary' only to pull the plug from the! new electric time pieces. As ■ befitted a session where amend ments ware legion, even the ad journment resolution was amend ed; it had originally called for adjournment at 6 P. M., but some yeoman work by the en rolling office (given a real assist by Calendar Committees which bu'-ied a number of last-minute bills) made it possible to quit some three 'hours earlier. Courts and Constitution The Bell Committee’s proposals for court revision, already seri ously crippled in the Senate, was destroyed by a series of amend mtnts Tuesday and Wednesday in the House, and supporters in both Houses admitted defeat and moved to postpone the measure indefinitely. With its keystone gone, the whole structure of Con .’titutional revision collapsed, and ’he session ended without ap proval of a single proposition to be submitted to the voters. Reso lutions were introduced in the House to request the Governor to 'all a special session in the fall of 1959 to consider Constitution al amendments, and to create an 11-member legislative committee to study Constitutional 1 revision. The first resoluttion was never 'cted upon by the House. The econd was killed in the Senate. Revenue The Senate passed the General Revenue Bill in the form ap 'roved by the House, and it was atified Saturday. Efforts to unend the corporation withhold ing provision to apply to all cor porations paying taxes of more ihan SIO,OOO failed by a vote of 32-18. The ratified bill provides hat beginning January 1, 1960, ?taite income taxes will be de luded by employers: Self-em ployed persons must file esti mates and pay their taxes quar terly; farmers may file quarter ly or at the end of the year; 'and corporations expecting to pay nore than SIOO,OOO per year must file estimates and pay the excess in installments. HB 1255, which would have made 'it possible for -,ome corporations to take ad vantage of a provision in federal ax taws and receive a “windfall,” was reported unfavorably by a Senate committee. The propos ed Constitutional amendment to -equire all property tax exemp ions and classifications to be' nade by uniform Statewide law was buried with the other pro posed amendments. Highway Safety The Motor Vehicle Depart mint’s “point system” bill, SB 340, was approved by both houses j Friday. The bill as ratified lists violations of driving laws tor which a specified number of ooints are assessed. If a driver accumulates 12 points withi na 2- year period, the Department is authorized to suspend his license for a period ranging from 60 days to one year, depending upon, whether the suspension is the first, second or a subsequent one. A driver who accumulated eight new points within the 2-year period immediately following a prior suspension, is liable to another suspension. The bill replaces an earlier act, declared unconstitutional by the Su preme Court, under which the Departfent of Motor Vehicles had sought to deal with the habitual traffic law violator. The.'bill was the only major measure dealing with- driving IN MEHORIAM In loving memory of our hus band and father, William Fletcher Perry, who passed away three years ago, June 19, 1959.

Safety Measure The General Assembly last' week enacted into law regula tions governing operations, of motorboats.- The measure, proposed as a life-saving law, will give au thority to the Wildlife Commis sion to enforce safety regula tions for all classes of motor boats. , It requires the registration and licensing of all boats using a ten. horsepower motor or more power propulsion. It also re quires . a $3 per year fee for such boats. Proponents of the law point ed out the tremendous growth of motorboating throughout the state in recent years and ad vocated the measure as a means to prevent accidents. The law makes it a misdemeanor for a boat operator to drive it reck lessly, drunkenly or in a care less manner. The measure also calls for a system of reporting motorboat - accidents, modeled on highway accident reporting. t* mwi' * the Department of Soils at *, fei .
