Could he have meant Edenton’sl

THE CHO WA N HER ALD
People are living too fast i
nowadays. This mania for speed
id even reflected in the food i
we buy—instant coffee, instant
potato, quick grits, 3-minute j
oatmeal. Walk down the aisle
of any grocery store or super .
market and examine the labels
on the boxes and jars and pack
ages for sale. Biscuits and I
don’t know Avhat-all and cake
and candy and flap-jacks can
be 'bought in mixes, half pre
pared and almost ready to eat.
What’s wrong with folks?
What’s the rush? Haven't we
time to cook, are or we just
too plain lazy?

]be rightly termed “Western”,

a little dated and old-fashioned j
and the technique archaic, it is'

in the Western genre. Mr. I
Wister did not have the Wild !
West shows, modern rodeos, TV j
marshals and movie Westerners
to prompt him, so in untram

picture of the REAL cowboy.

that it will be extremely bene
ficial to Edenton. Another
opinion was that with all the
extra traffic, better roads will
be built, and the traffic will by
pass Edenton. A recent visitor
to Edenton who’s travelled
around the world tells us that
we're sitting on a powder keg so
far as tourism is concerned. He
explains that Williamsburg is
completely rebuilt, but Edenton
is real, with its original homes
and sights. Something really
worth working on; best selling
albums in Edenton are those by
Ray Conniff and Billy Vaughn;
