Let’s Go All The Way
It is very encouraging to hear reports rela
tive to the shooting of scenes for the forth
coming promotional film for Edenton and
Chowan County.
i That no time has been lost is reflected in
the fact that up to Tuesday shots were taken
pf 36 homes and buildings, at some of which
ladies were attired in colonial costumes.. The
work was continued Wednesday with shots
taken of waterfront activity including boat
ing. fishing, skiing and other shots from the
water. Following this aerial shots will be
taken of the entire town.
Those who .have been engaged in making
the pictures are very much impressed with
what Edenton and Chowan County have to
offer for the making of an interesting and at
tractive promotional film. They say they
have never been to a place where they re
ceived such wonderful cooperation and hospi
tality, and with such conditions prevailing
there is every reason to believe that they
will come up with a good movie.
In fact there is such a wealth of appro
priate material available that the opinion has
been advanced that instead of the schdeuled
13!4-minute film, to properly present Eden*
tfcn and Chowan County to a vast audience
V)f viewers, a 30-minute film should be made,
for which there is ample material which would
be very beneficial. Os course, to make a 30-
minute film would entail some extra expense,
but according to Jack McGowan, in charge
of shooting scenes, it would be money well
spent.
It is understood that members of the Ire
dell Association and the Edenton Tea Party
Chapter of the DAR have taken the initia
tive to place an order for the longer film,
feeling that enough people will be interested
enough to meet the comparatively small ex
tra expense. Anyone then, who is interested
in, producing the best film possible may make
a contribution by contacting Mrs. John
Kramer.
While we are in the business of making
a promotional film, it is wise to secure the
best possible story to present to the millions
who are expected to view the film. With
vMnple material, and very interesting material
Vt that, on hand, it would be more or less
foolish to have a film which shows only a
portion of what we have to offer. In fact,
limited to a 13 K* minute film many shots
would of necessity be omitted which might
have a special appeal to some who will see
the film. The leaders of the Iredell Associa
tion and DAR are to be commended for their
interest and optimism in believing that Eden
ton concerns and Edenton people would rath
er pay a little more to make the best possi
ble film than to go only about half way
and later possibly regret that the longer film
was not made. Anything done should be
done right and the opinion of those who are
making the film and the local ladies who
are giving all assistance possible is that the
half hour film is necessary to properly pre
sent the story of Edenton and Chowan Coun
ty-
Incidentally, while all of the ladies of the
two organizations so vitally interested in the
film are cooperating, three have taken the
in cooperating with the producers and
a word of commendation. This trio
of ladies include Mrs. John Kramer, Mrs. R.
N. Hines and Mrs. W. J. P. Earnhardt. And
while they have worked almost to exhaustion,
they are over-enthused with the prospect of
a film of which the community may well be
ptoud and that eventually its effect will be
f«t in the economic structure of Edenton.
Everybody’s Problem . j
Crime costs this nation some $22 billion a
year—and “In the last 10 years something has
happened to the American public that fa worse
than communism. A new kind of crime is
sweeping the nation. People claim it’s all
right to be a little bit of a thief, to do a,
little wrong.”
That indictment cpmes from a real au
thority —Juvenile Judge Gilliam of Denver.
| Naturally enough, he Is particularly concern
dyabout juvenile delinquency which, it is
fefccast, will double injs|f next 10 years.
He says: “The belief seems to be ‘Never get
| sole about anything. Don’t fight the racty
i y«u’d just get hurt’. /

It’s very nice to . get ready and, anticipate
a trip from home,'but it’s always a more
grand and glorious feeling to get back home.
In fact everybody should travel—if only to
get themselves acquainted with the comforts
of home.
; o
Three hospital employees were in sort of
a dilemma one day last week. It so happen
ed that a trio, a nurse and two nurses’ aids,
went into the powder room. The door slam
med and locked and could not be unlocked.
Two of ’em crawled out the window, but the
window was not large enough for the third
one. All efforts to unlock the door were fu
tile, so that it was necessary to break the lock
from the door to let the third one out of
“prison.” No names mentioned, but it ac
tually happened.
-! O
Arriving in the mail late last week was a
complimentary copy of “Reflections In La
fayette Park,” a book of poems of which
Gurnie Hobbs, Jr., a former Edentonian, is
the author. It was published by “Valhalla
Press,” founded by Hobbs and is now on sale
in some of the biggest book stores in Wash
ington, D. C., including Brentano’s, Airport
Book Shops, Franz Bader and others, as well
as Woodward & Lothrop. Washington’s larg
est department store. It is also on sale in
Edenton at Hollowell’s Drug Store. Here’s
congratulating another Edenton boy who left
Edenton and apparently is making good.
? —o
Mrs. William T. Pullen, who lives at Day
tona Beach, Florida, is another Herald sub
scriber to send m her renewal. Mrs. Pullen
in a brief message said it is hot weather at
Daytona Beach (here, too) and that she is
still hoping some day to come back “home.”
o
My friend Fred Haney, at The Daily Ad
vance in Elizabeth City, returned Monday
from a week’s vacation. Among the places
he went during the week was Washington,
D. C. He couldn’t get up with Ike, he says,
so that he didn’t get in a game of golf dur
ing his vacation.
o
If anybody has never seen an illicit liquor j
still, ABC Officer Troy Toppin early this
week set up one at the foot of Broad Street.
The still was captured Friday in the Wing
field section of the county, and just for the
novelty of the thing Troy set it up. Not
much heed to cause any ideas about making
moonshine, for this is the seventh still cap
tured in Chowan County since January 10.
Anyway, a lot of people have taken a look
at the rig.
o
Scott Harrell and Pearly Ashley are very
much interested in organizing a Go-Kart Rac
ing Club in Edenton. The idea is rapidly
increasing and is enjoyed by meq, women
and children. . Well, some of our men. wo
men and children have learned to ski, so no
doubt some of ’em would like to take a crack
at Go-Kart racittg. Anyway Scott and Pearly
i have called a meeting for Friday night at 8
1 o’clock at the Ashley Welding & Machine
Company so that anybody who might be
interested is urged to attend. Plans are
already in the making to construct a race
track if enough interest is shown in the idea.
But holy mackerel, what’ll be next to take up
a person’s time?
o
It has been said lately that not many
tourists are coming through Edenton. Well
on Tuesday night I met a friend at a restau
rant, who asked where to find a good motel..
I told him we have several good ones and
gave him the names and locations. However,
on Wednesday morning he dropped in the
office to tell me that he was obliged to try
three times before he could get a room. The
two others were filled up by 4 o’clock, he
said. Looks like somebody is enjoying good
business.
———o
If you don’t think there is any interest in
games played on the softball diamond and on
the colored playground, just drop around
some night to see how many turn out and
how much fun fa enjoyed. Why even Er
nest Kehayes is a regular “customer” when
the P & Q team plays softball and you’ll hear
him rootin’ for his team. Incidentally, Man
ager Ronnie-Saunders would like to put Er
nest in the lineup, but he sort of has a feel
ing that the “boss man” might strike out and
he’d be better off for not bawling him out.
Anyway, it’s a lot of fun -especially if the
mosquitoes do not become too friendly.

The National Outlook
t The Democratic Platform And Business
By Ralph Robey
Political action nas Decome so i
intertwined with economics that |
no business analyst any longer |
can afford to ignore what either j
the Democrats or the Republi-1
cans propose to do. The plat- 1
forms adopted at the National
Conventions never can be taken
at their face value because tiey
always are highly political docu
ments, but at least they provide
an indication of the direction in
which the party is moving.
The platform just adopted by
the Democrats at Los Angeles is
truly an amazing document. It
is over 20,000 words long, which
means that it is one of the long
est ever offered. It includes the
strongest civil rights plank ever
put in a platform, and it ranges
over a variety of ideas -and prob
lems that is without parallel.
Here, however, we are concerned
only with those items of out
standing importance from the
viewpoint of the future of busi
ness.
Most basic is the dogmatic
statement “that our economy can
and must grow at an average
rate of 5 per cent annually” and
this is followed by this sentence:
“We pledge ourselves to policies
that will achieve this goal with
out inflation.”
There is not space even to list
the various policies which are to
assure this 5 per cent annual
growth, but they Include elimi
nation of the high-interest, tighl
money policy, which means the i
destruction of the independence
of the Federal Reserve Board, j
and just about every conceivable |
type of spending program, to- j
gether with a detailed direction
of our economic system by the
Federal Government.
Where is the money coming
from to cover all these additional,
outlays? To the drafters of this
platform that was not a problem.
The increased rate of growth
will bring in larger revenues
(each one per cent increase in
the growth rate yields about one
billion in larger revenues), and
it is said the present tax laws
can be made to yield much larg
er returns.
This latter is to be accom
plished by collecting ‘the bil
lions” which at present are owed
but not paid, and by closing so
called loopholes in present tax
laws. In addition it is proposed
to eliminate “the gross waste in
federal expenditures."
Now everyone would like to
see a deletion of the waste in
government spending, and it un
questionably is large, and every
one is in favor of the tax laws
being rigidly enforced. But both
of these are not going to yield
billions of dollars of additional
revenues. So-called loopholes
were put in the law by action
of the Congress, and they should
not be changed without most
careful consideration and with !

The increased spending, therefore
cannot be made without either
an increase of taxes or the de
velopment of a deficit, and since
a rise of tax'rates is specifically
ruled out, what the platform
really is proposing is a deficit
of probably quite enormous pro
portions.
Combine such a deficit with
the destruction of the power of
the Federal Reserve to regulate
the volume of credit, and it
makes no sense at all to talk
of increasing our growth rate
without inflation.
This does not mean that our
production can not grow more
rapidly than it has. Os course
it can, and it is to be hoped
that it does. The policies which
will make this possible, however,
are not stepping upon the power
of the Federal Reserve, increased
government spending, running
deficits, or forcing “full employ
ment.” To get increased growth
we must have lower tax rates,
elimination of the monopoly
power of labor union leaders,
and a shrinkage of the opera
tions of the Federal Government.
IWe shall now look forward to
what the Republicans offer in
their platform.
Many Shots Taken
For Edenton Film
I Continued from Page 1, Section 1
and the films are not for rent
but are furnished free for edu
j cational purposes. Mr. McGow
an says two of the most re
quested films are on Gunston
Hall and Stratford Hall in Vir
ginia. He points at that these
two films were on restoration
while in Edenton the pictures
are original. He said that the
fascinating and appealing thing
to tourists is that in many in
stances families or connections
of families still live in some of
the old homes. “Therefore,”
said Mr. McGowan, “the Eden
ton film should be even more
popular than Gunston and Strat
ford Halls. You actually have
more to offer than Williams
burg and should be more valu
able if you people would take
advantage of this tremendous re
source.”
Mr. McGowan said he had
been through Edenton many
times but that he had no idea
what was here. “And very few
others will know,” he said, “un
less you advertise.”
Mr. McGowan emphasized the
fact that Edenton and Chowan
County has such a wealth of
material that it is very unfortu
nate that only alll3 1 •> -minute
film is being made, which is in
adequate to capitalize on the
many phases of life in this area.
He said that to properly adver
tise what of interest is here a
half-hour film would not be too
long. This, of course, would en
tail some extra expense. It is
understood that members of the
Iredell Association and DAR
plan to authorize the longer
film in the hope that the added
expense will be secured, and he
said it would really show Eden
ton.
Mr. McGowan stated that he
had never been to a place where
he had received such wonder-]
ful cooperation, “And,” he said, 1
“with this kind of cooperation. I
we are just bound to come up
with a good movie.” In sort of
a facetious vein he said it was
the first time he worked under
three directors. He was refer-l
ring to Mrs. John Kramer. Mrs. I
R. N. Hines and Mrs. W. J. P.|
Earnhardt who accompanied the
cameraman and offered all pos
sible assistance.
Bishop Alexander, president of
Advertising Service Agency of
Charleston. S. C., which con
tracts with 227 television sta
tions, was here for the first two
days of filming. He and Mr.
McGowan promised to return to
Edenton in early November for
a premier showing of the Eden
ton movie which has tentatively
been titled “Ye Towne on
Queen Anne's Creek.”
After making the Edenton
film Mr. McGowan plans to go
to New Zealand to make an
educational film.
After work was completed
Tuesday Mr. McGowan said, “I
have never eaten so many pea
nuts than I have since I have
been in Edenton.”
