[SENATOR JORDAN
iliil REPORTS
From WASHINGTON
Washington—One of the main
issues to be resolved by this
session of Congress is the ques-|
tion of increasing the Federal)
minimum wage.
I have had a great deal cf
correspondence concerning a bill
introduced by Senator Kennedy
which would increase the mini
mum wage from SI.OO to $1.25
an hour. There is a great deal
of controversy over the proposal,
especially provisions that would
extend the present coverage.
Last week I saw a newspaper
article commending me for op
posing an increase in the mini
mum wage. This article was
misleading. Last year when
legislation was introduced to in
crease the minimum wage from
SI.OO to $1.25 an hour, I made
a number of public statements
endorsing an increase for work
ers covered under the present)
law, and my position has not)
changed.
The Kennedy Bill as now j
written would take in about 7
million additional workers who I
are not engaged in interstate)
commerce as defined in the (
present law. For instance, itj
would affect some types of farm
laborers, part-time, and season
al workers, and many strictly
local establishments. The effect
very conceivably could cause a
tot of people to lose their jobs
instead of helping them.
For these reasons I think ex
treme care should be taken in
writing a new minimum wage
bill which could have opposite
effects of its intention.
In drafting such legislation
it is always difficult to deter
mine where to draw the law.
Everyone desires to bring about
conditions whereby all citizens'

The 1960 ASC Spring Practice

of this week, according to in

tention to do ditching, install

other practices this spring. But

can earn a better living, but in
putting wage and hour laws on
| the books utmost care must be
) taken to avoid making it im
! possible for small bus ness op
erations to stay in business.
In many cases, a minimum I
wage of $1.25 per hour would
force businesses to close or lay
off considerable numbe;s of em-|
ployees. When this happens
many people are out of work.
I am opposed to the extend
ed coverage provisions as they
are now written in Senatorl
Kennedy’s bill. At the same!
time. I feel the time has cornel
to increase the minimum wage)
; for those business operations!
engaged in intersta’e commerce. 1
and I am hopeful that the pres-)

coverage in such away that

Edenton Aeelets.
Now In First Plajce
By BILL GCODWIN
The Edenton Aeelets vaulted
, info first place in the Albe
marle Conference with a 37-36
: edging of Ahoskie High School
'as the Aces routed the favored
: Indians 55-40 in Ahoskie Tues
day night.
! It was the fifth straight vic
' to: y for the Aeelets, giving
them a 4-1 league record and a
6-2 season mark. The local
squads have now won four
straight doubleheaders.
The Aces, winning their
fourth straight, gained a second
place tie with Williamston in
jeomerenee piay and earned their
: season record at 5-5. The locals’
c-rcuit standing is now 3-2.
i Eoth Edenton teams return
home Friday night against Wil
liamston. The winner of the
toys’ game will hold second
place in the conference and pos
sibly a tie for first. The Ace-
Jets will be favored to win this
game on the grounds of a 40-32
licking of the Green Wave at
j \V illiamstcn earlier in the year.
' The Ahoskie girls moved out
in front 24-16 at the half. Up
| until then the Aeelets’ scoring
punch had been very ineffective.
Only some fine defensive work
by Norma Blanchard saved a
first half rout.
In tlte second half Ahoskie
cooled off and the Aeelets
cranked up the old machine and
tied things up at 28-28. From
that point on it was nip and
tuck until the final horn, when
the Aeelets were ahead by one
pointy
Sara Relfe Smith turned in a
22-polnt performance, which was
1 high for the night. Beverly Mor

i ion 1 to round out the Aeelets"
scoring. Kay Krouse connected
for 20 markers for the Squaws.
The Aces, avenging an earlier
42-31 pasting at the hands of the
Indians, outscored the home
forces in every quarter. The
half time score was 27-18 Aces.
• The rout continued in the third
: quarter and the Aces turned on
‘the coals in the early part of the
fourth period. With Jerry Tol
’ ley and Johnny Phillips show
-1 ing the way. the Edenton crew
led by as much as 23 points with
about three minutes to play.
This lead was cut by some sharp
'shooting by the Ahoskie re
serves.
; Pniilips. in his usual role of
: leading the scoring for the Aces,
' bagged 20 points. Tolley follow
ed with 15. Fred Britton had 9.
Bryant Griffin 8. and Bobby
Stogely 5.
, Brinkley Overton, the In

defensive work. Jerry Lindsey

try could live with history, since
in Edenton both industry and
history were financial stimu-j
lants.
With this background, Mrs.
Earnhardt explained the plans
for the Confederate Monument,
which the Woman’s Club pro
poses to move to the south end
of Broad Street. Plans for this
project as well as the Court
House Green, were made by
Morley Williams, outstanding
preservation architect, who is,
present y living and working in
New Bern, his current project
being the Trvon Palace. Re
moving the Confederate Monu
ment will mean that it will
complement the Barker House,
the Cupola House, be quite con
venient to Kina Street and the
waterfront which are favorites
of all tourists. It will occupy
a position of high prestige, can .
be seen for some distance and
will not compote with other
shrines. Its prestige will be en
hanced by a plaza with four
flags surrounding it. The flags
will be: The United States, the
North Carolina, the Confederate
and the Town of Edenton.
At the Court House, plans are
being studied for removing the
red paint from the building,
leaving the natural colored an
tique bricks. The Green will be
terraced in four levels from the
Court House to the waterfront.
Sycamore trees will be planted
along the walkway to the water
front. These trees were select
ed after careful study since they
I are able to withstand hurri
| canes and give a majestic ap
pearance which will help to
'rame the Court House build ng.
The Court House is an outstand
ng example of Colonial Georg
ian architecture, in fact the best j
example in the South, express-!
ed the speaker. Other plans call
for the Joseph Hewes monument
to be placed on a paved brick
area, surrounded by low-growing
holly. Mrs. Earnhardt stressed
that no effort has been made to,
have a formal garden at either j
shrine, and that present plans |
call for very little upkeep.
Mrs. Earnhardt stated that the
Woman’s Club had approved
these plans unanimously and are
now receiving bids for the
work. She mentioned that Eden
ton was quite fortunate in that,
they had only had to preserve
shrines, whereas many areas
were actively engaged in com
| pletely rebuilding historic sites
or digging ruins from the
ground.
Mrs. Earnhardt presented prac
tically the same address at the
Edenton Rotary Club’s meeting
Thursday of last week.

Meet In Columbia
I The quarterly meeting of the

mouth, treasurer; Thomas Shep- !
ard of Edenton, vice chairman;

board is the governing body of
the region and consists of three
trustees from Chowan, Tyrrell

lon, was also present. She was
„asked to report on the adult
education class held at Brown-
Carver Library every Tuesday
at 8 P. M. under the instruction
of W. D. Fuller of Edenton. All
were pleased with the progress
of this class and also with the
fine blackboard which was made
for Brown-Carver Library by the
Edenton High School. This
blackboard is very helpful to
the work of the group.
The new bookmobile for white
was discussed with enthusiasm
and the group was pleased to
learn that the old bookmobile
brought $750. The new vehicle
was purchased from Thomas
Moroney of Shrewsbury, Mass.,
and he took the old one in trade.
It was voted that Mrs: Camp
bell and Mrs. Babylon should
attend an institute to be held
in Durham in March on, library
community relations. Mrs. Baby
lon gave a report on the fine
meeting of the Tyrrell County
j friends of the library held in
J Columbia on January 20. Pat
rick Penland, specialist in adult
education, North Carolina State
Library, was the main speaker.
Mrs. Campbell pointed out
that the average per capita spent
'in the state for library service
lis 78 cents and that the aver
j age spent per capita in the Pet
tigrew Regional Library is about
$1.20 but that we still have a
long way to go since the recom
mended amount for good library
service is $3.00.
The next meeting will be held
in Edenton March 21.
