It will be noticed that Edenton is schedule! to have a special election to be held Tuesday February 16 and this election will deck! whether or net authority will be given to sel. * bonds in the amount of $557,000. Os course, this authority rests in the hands of the quali fied voters in Edenton. The purpose of the proposed hr.nd issue is to construct a sewage disposal plant and to make other necessary additions and exten sions. The election is called not because of a desire on the part of the governing body to improve sewage facilities, bi * it is the re suit of a mandate from the State Stream Sanitation Commission, which says Edenton must stop dumping raw sewage into local wa ters. The only alternate, then, is to construct facilities to dispose of Edenton’s sewage. Not only has the State Stream Sanitation Commission informed Edenton that present sewage disposal must be stopped and a sew age disposal plant constructed, but in no un certain terms the Commission has also let it be known that if Edenton docs not comply with the requirements, then the state will step in and make the improvements deemed necessary. —Tire-Commission os-eqcHpped w4lo this authority and there is no reason to be lieve that it will not be done if the bond issue is defeated. 'l'he Commission has previoulsy become more or less provoked with Edenton doe to lagging in the preliminary phase of the pro ject. As a matter of fact, a few officials at cne time were summoned to Raleigh to give reason why there was so much delay and practically nothing done toward getting the project under way. A schedule was arranged for Edenton to comply with and it was under stood that if default in this schedule was made th~ stat° would take action. The town has carried out the terms of th( schedule and has now arrived at the place where an election will be held to decide for or against a $557,000 bond issue. This bond issue should be considered seri c r.ly by every qualified voter, especially if there is a tendency to vote against the sale ! cf bonds. As a matter of fact, a sewage dis posal plant will be constructed to take care of Edenton’s sewage, if the bond issue is car ried or defeated. The only difference is that if the state is forced to construct the plant, the cost will, of course, be much greater, and Edenton citizens will foot the bill. Nobody should be fooled into thinking that the sewage disposal plant will not raise taxes. It certainly will, one way or another. It is the opinion of Board of Public Works mem bers that interest and principal on the bonds can be paid from Electric and Water Depart ment earnings. However, this would mean that something like $.50,000 annually would not be transferred to the general fund, which has in previous years had great weight in hc'ding down Edenton’s tax rate. If the bond issue passes (and it is next thing to a must) taxpayers will be obliged to do cne of two things. They will have to pay a tax on retirement of the b nds or pay an increased tax rate for operation. There is little difference for the money must come from somewhere. In one instance it will come from the Board cf Public Works which will mean a higher tax rate, or a special bond tax with the rate based somewhat on how much money is transferred from the Electric and Witer Department. There is little to choose in the election for a bill will be required to be paid either for bonds to build a sewage disposal plant or payt treasury bonds for the state to construct the plant. So far as The Herald can decide, it will be advantageous to Edenton voters to pa-s the bond election for $557,000. Os course, if that amount isn’t needed, only enough bonds will be sold to pay for the work done. Think it over. Give it serious and careful consideration, then go to the polk on Febnv amn 16 and cast your ballot the way you think wiH be the best interest of yourself and Eden- IJdeard Cf Seen By Buff * -TTi. inn ißniiri "v “Please renew my subscription to The Her ald,” wrote Mrs. I. L. Kuni, who now lives at Jacksonville, one day this week. “I look forward to The Herald each week and news from our old friends in Edenton through the paper.” The Kuni family formerly lived in Edenton. o Then W. Ralph Walker, who lives in Luna, Ohio, had this brief note in his letter of re newal: “I enjoy the newspaper very much and it keeps me in touch with many friends and activities that are of great interest. I’ve noticed an item or two regarding a pamphlet put out by the Chamber cf Commerce for fu ture consideration for a locale n which to retire. If you have the time, have the Cham ber of Commerce forward a copy to me. Mrs. Walker and I have always said, ‘Edenton would be the one place to enjoy retirement — if not sooner’.” o Then Mrs. R. L. Boyce, wno is visiting Mrs. M. W. I'eltz in Whittier. California, dropped a few lines to say, “We do enjoy the paper very much, as it feels l.ke we’ve had a visit with you in Edenton. Wish you had some of this grand weather back there.” And speaking about the weather, Doc Wallace Griffin is now at Fort Pierce, Florida, and on a postcard jotted down: “The thermometer read 65 degrees here today.” o R. Erie Cofield, Jr., now living at Oak Ridge, Tenn., was another subscriber to write during the last few days. Said Erie: “I greatly enjoy receiving the hometown paper with the news of familiar things although I now find more names that I don’t recognize than those with whom I am well acquainted. I particularly enjoy the 20 years ago column, since I was about 10 or 11 when they oc curred and they frequently stir childhood memories. I also enjoyed the ‘Lest We For get’ series by Capt. J. L. Wiggins that you ran for a while.” o Parker Helms, a former Edentt.nian, too, -sent m his subscription renewal. Parker mov ?d from Reeky Mount to Covington, Ken tucky and, of course, his subscription out of the state is $3.00 instead of $2.50. So Park er had this to say: “In addition to leaving all our friends in North Carolina I also have to pay an additional 50 cents for living out of the state! However, it’s well worth the additional fifty cents to continue receiving the ‘Best Newspaper from the Best Town i: the Best State in the United States’.” o Lloyd C. Bench, Fahey Byrum, Joe Webb. Jr., and Jim Griffin are attending the annual Soil Conservation District Supervisors’ meet ing in Raleigh this week. They loaded up with Chowan County peanuts to distribute during the meeting. As a matter of fact, pea nuts were taken to meetings before hut thi: time the local group was asked to bring some Maybe they like ’em, eh what! i . o In a local super market the other day a few women were talking about various things which are said to promote cancer. One of them said. “Yes, and I understand that now the*y say lipstick causes cancer.” But a fel low standing nearby chimed in, “Oh, shucks, that’s not so. I’ll bet I’ve swallowed a barrel cf that stuff m my life and I don’t have any signs of cancer.” Well, just keep it up, pard ner, and the Missus is likely to cause some lumps cn your dome which might look like cancer. o Red Men of Chowan Tribe held a weiner roast at their meeting Monday night. ? There were some hot dogs left this time. Reason: Gus Bunch, Gus Nixon, Hawk Crummey and Kenneth Worrell failed to put in an appear ance. However, Tom Jackson. and Albert Cullipher ran pretty dose seconds to the “Eatin’ Quartet.” o The Band Parents are planning to hold a barbecue chicken dinner Saturday, January 23, from 6 to 8 P. M. The dinner will be served in the John A. Holmes High School cafeteria, but plates will be delivered if de sired. The band parents want to raise «ome much needed money, so they’ll appreciate sell ing you a plate for a buck and two bits. o Town Councilmen were held in session un til midnight at their meeting Tuesday night. Time was when Ernest Kehayes was Mayor that he invited the boys to his restaurant for a snack after the meetings. Now;, however v Mayer John Mitchener sees to it that some soft drinks and nabs are sent in about the middle of the meeting to keep a fellow from starving to death. o Oh yes, the Councilmen on Tuesday night dedded to have a stop light placed ait North Bread and Oakum Streets. This is a rather dangerous corner and * was deemed advisable THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. JANUARY 14. 1980. r jijSyjp : ■ 'as 1!

Schuman, secretary treasurer and general manager of the Colonial Broadcasting Company, Inc., operating WCDJ Radio in Edenton, has announced that, pending approval by the Federal Communications Com mission, Washington, D. C., WCDJ will change its frequency from 1260 KC to 610 RC and reduce its power from 1000 watts to 500 watts. At the same time Mr. Schu man pointed out that WCDJ’s present coverage of an approxi mate-radius of 25 air miles sur rounding Edenton will be in creased to a radius of approxi mately 47 air miles. The de crease in transmitter power is necessary, he said, because of the well-known fact in the elec tronics industry that a greater geographical area is saturated when a broadcast station op erates lower on the radio dial. If WCDJ’s present power of 1000 watts were maintained on the new 610 frequency, WCDJ would interfere with WDNC, Durham, N. C., whose frequency is also 610, and the Fed eral Communications Commission would not approve WCDJ’s ap plication. The Management of WCDJ has been informed by the Federal Communications Commission that approximately 1700 applications for new radio stations, changes in facilities, etc., are ahead of WCDJ’s application and that considerable time will elapse be fore WCDJ’s application is ruled on. Funeral Held Friday For Robert L. Pratt Funeral services for Robert Long Pratt, 67, were held in the Edenton Baptist Church Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The pas tor, the Rev. R. N. Carroll, of ficiated and burial followed in Beaver Hill Cemetery. Mr. Pratt, who served as an Edenton policeman for about 30 years, retired about two years ago.

TEENAGERS FEEL NEGLECTED Dear Editor: I am writing this letter on the behalf of the teenagers of this community. We all feel that the town of Edenton should j supply something for us in the) line of entertainment. As most ( people know, the only thing that a teenager can do is to go to | the Teenage Club twice a week or to see a movie. This gets: very tiresome after a short pe- j I riod and the only thing one can do is the same thing unless he| can go to Elizabeth City to go bowling or skating. The majority of the teenagers of this community will support j and help any activities that might be started as a recrea tion for them. » We Sad a discussion in English class last Friday concerning this j • matter and everyone agreed with j the way I feel about some new activities and are willing to do all they can to get them. Sincerely yours, LaDell Parker, Jr. Editor’s Note: The wr ter cf th' above letter has something. There should be some form of wholesome entertainment for this group of young people. Chowan Victim Os Edenton’s Teams By BILL GOODWIN EJenton’s Aces captured their second win of the season w:t u a 45-40 victory over Chowan’s Bulldogs as the Acelets tucked a 41-35 de:is ; on under their belts at Chowan High Monday night. Johnny Phillips continued t r be a dead’y menace to the Bull dogs with 26 points for the evening. In the pre-Christmas meeting of the two clubs, Phil lips rang up 30 tallies. The Aces took off in usual form and dropped behind by as much as 12 points during the second period. Just before the half Phillips and Bill Goodwin connected to c"u*t the gap to 26- 20. In the third stanza Phillips kept throwing them in and the Aces tied it up and moved out in front 38-36. In the fourth quar ter Bobby Stokely joined Phil lips in the scoring attack and the Aces rode out a six-point lead. Backing up Phillips’ 26 points I were Stokely with 12, Fred Prit T j ton 3, and Goodwin four. I ! From the Bulldog side, Jeff] Ward poured in 24 points and | Edgar Ray Jordan 10. The Acelets discovered a'fresh man scoring ace in Sue Bunch, who came on in relief of Sara Relfe Smith and scored 16 markers. Smith ran into foul | trouble as the Acelets were trail | ing 15-9 in the second quarter. It was here that Bunch made f j her first notable varsity appear- 1 ance, and she quickly justified | Coach Coleen Ward’s judgment j |by leading the locals **o their j third win in five games this sea son. 1 Following Bunch’s leading to- i tal were Beverly Morgan with | 11, Mary Anne Overton 9, and. Smith five. Jean Hendrix paced the Chowan girls with 26 points. BONUS DAYS ARtkERE! Mg DEAL NOW for your machinery Stpgfeie We’ll Pay YouVßig fillp.,, A EAELY T^IBONUS?
