C, ■ frankly Speaking By Franz Hubarta V —" 1.1.1—1. - *J> His wife calls him Lees. That’s his last name, but the full han dle is Dr. Lester A. Dees. The doctor is the result of a DVM degree, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and, once again, Doc Dees has his degree pinned up on the wall of his laboratory just outside of town on Highway 17 North. A few feet from his laboratory is a large amount of ground that Doc Dees hopes to be able to do something con structive with this coming sea son. Also, in that general vi cinity, is the house in which the Dees family reside. The family, in addition to Doc Dees, in cludes his pretty wife, the for mer Betty Veazey whq, by the way, resembles song-star Janis Paige. The two children are Scott, 3 months old, and daugh ter, Lorri, three years old. Lor ri, incidentally, is one of the THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAHQLINA, THURSDAY. MARCH 9. 1961. prettiest children I’ve seen. And, as a family man, here in Eden tan, Doc Dees is pretty well settled down but such has not always been the case in his life. Born in Fitzgerald, Georgia, he graduated from school there, ■then went on to Alabama, where he attended Auburn University in the town of that name. By the way, his graduating class in the university was the Hast that could take four year courses. After that a six year course was required, so Doc Dees got in just under the wire. After he received his degree he accepted a position with the North Caro lina Department of Agriculture, working on hog cholera control and during that time was work ing and living in Elizabeth City. After that, back to Georgia, where he entered general vet erinary practice. Next, back to the Tar Heel state in May of 1941 for general practice, then Doc Dees entered the Army Air Force, joining in July of 1942 and staying on active duty until July of 1944. At that time, he was stationed in Avon Park, Florida. After that, back again to North Carolina, this time, as his old friends will recall, over to Edenton, where he was in business for seven years. Then the fickle finger of fate pointed in his direction and during the Korean conflict Doc Dees was re-called into the service. That was in September of 1951 and, in case you’re wondering why the services of a veterinarian are in such great demand with Un cle Sam, I’ll see what I can do in describing Doc Dees’ work with the Air Force. It was his job to see that the meats and poultry that the Gl’s ate at the mess hall were fresh. And his job required that he stay with those items from beginning to end. For example, he followed chickens from hatching to serv ing. He traveled with a certain group of poultry from state to state and checked everything from hatching to vaccination, including killing, transporting, storing, to the final serving at a designated mess hall. Some times he would, for instance, go from Bangor, Maine, to Pope Air Force Base in North Caro lina, to Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, to Keesler Field, Biloxi, Mississippi, to points north, south, east and west. Doc Dees literally follow ed the chickens. Other points during his second tour of duty include Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonia, Texas, where he was finally discharged. He was also stationed at Elmendorf Field in Anchorage, Alaska, but I pur posely saved mention of that to the last since it was there he met and married his wife. She was born in Hollywood, raised in Alaska. Her father has been ■around the world about eighteen times and is currently a guide in Alaska. He’s one of that rare, •and swiftly fading breed of ad venturers. Fought with General Chennault’s Flying Tigers during World War II and also with the Chinese Guerrilas. So the en tire family consists of colorful and interesting people, including Doc Dees who, in the past, was a barber, thought about becom ing a dentist, but actually had his heart set on being a vet. By the way, many vets, I under stand, are frustrated MD’s, but veterinary medicine was always his main interest. However, very few make their money fol lowing their main line of work, the treatment of sick (animals. Most of their income is derived from preventive veterinary medi cine, that is, preventing live stock sickness and losses. Right now, Doc Dees is engaged in a little bit of everything though. Veterinary medicine, preventive work, farming, fixing up 'the house and becoming a settled down citizen of our town. And, for his sake, and ours, I hope he’s able to settle permanently this time. Closing thought: Nature does not proceed by leaps. Visiting Speaker For Jehovah’s Witnesses Russell I. Weaver, circuit su pervisor representing the Watch tower Bible and Tract Society of Brooklyn, New York, will visit the Chowan unit of the Edenton Congregation of Jehov ah’s Witnesses on March 7-13. Mr. Weaver’s visit comes las a climax to a weekly ministry-de velopment program held at the local Kingdom Hall, 809 North Oakum Street. i During this visit, Mr. Weaver | will not only instruct the local j meetings of Jehovah’s Witness j es but also call on several Eden ton homes to give personal Bible instruction. On Sunday at 3 P. M., he will climax his visit by giving a talk on the subject, “Materialism or Spirituality— Which Do We Need?” All per sons are invited and no collec tion will be taken. Deadline Approaches For Gas Tax Refund Farmers have until April 15 to apply for a refund of taxes paid on gasoline used for non highway purposes. Farmers who filed a claim last year should have received an application form from the De partment of Revenue. Farmers who want to file for the first time can get an application sheet from their counjy agricultural agent’s office. The refund amounts to six cents per gallon.

Phone 2614 Edenton V SENATE* i jamtoim Washington Old fashioned horse sense dictates that this Congress and a new Administra tion should re-evaluate our en tire program of overseas assist ance. Senator Allen J. Ellender, the Senate watch-dog on foreign aid, has recently published a re port on our overseas programs and operations. The Senator concludes with the vast majority of Americans that the Marshall Plan was a good program to save Europe from Communism, but that its supplemental programs should be inspected after twelve years of operation. The United States has spent $51.5 billions in overseas assistance of all kinds since 1950. Today’s dollar is showing weakness due in part to our vast overseas payments to other nations. It has become imperative to curtail programs in some countries and to check waste and inefficiency in other countries. NAPAL Senator Ellender points out the difficulty we face with the illustration of Napal. Since 1946 we have given this small country $22.6 millions in economic aid. In 1959 Napal ac cepted $7.5 millions in aid from the Soviets. Senator Ellender states: “There are 158 holidays each year in Napal and as a rule work does not begin until 10 A. M., then all activity halts for a siesta at 1:30 P. M.; the workday ends at 4:00 P. M.” Apparently, the Napalese do not believe that assistance begins at .aa. ... best for neat an( * jobs!

European nations must ex pect to pay for the defense of peace in their own and other nations. The United States un happily finds itself in the posi tion of a father trying to curtail a son’s allowance after his grad uation from college. Natural Resources President Kennedy has focused our atten tion once again on our natural resources. In a special message to the Congress he stated the matter in these , words: “By the year 2000, a United States pop ulation of 300 million—nearly doubled in 40 years—will need far greater supplies of farm pro ducts, timber, minerals, fuels, energy, and opportunities for outdoor recreation.” This is a matter of concern for North Car olina. Our State has long prided itself on its forest, water and electrical power resources. The task of wisely investing them for the future requires the joint co operation of the individual, the community, the State, and the Federal Government. Favorable Crowds At Lenten Services The Rev. George B. Holmes, rector of Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church, expressed his joy over the fine attendance at the week- ly luncheon meetings during Lent. Following lunch each Tuesday; at 1 o’clock in the Parish House,; an out-of-town guest preacher has addressed those attending. This week the Rev. Hunley A. Elebash, rector of Saint John’s Episcopal Church, Wil mington, will be the guest preacher. The Rev. Mr. Elebash is a na tive of Pensacola, Florida. He received most of his education at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee.
