A Fittimr Tribute With this year’s pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton and Countryside expected to far dclipse all other tours, it is altogether fitting that the occasion will be opened by the dedi cation of Inglis Fletcher Day on Tuesday, April 14, the first day of the tour. Mrs. Fletcher has been instrumental in pub licizing Edenton in particular as well as Cho wan County, the Albemarle section and in fact the state of North Carolina as a whole. Her very interesting historical novels have been head far and wide and by reason of her writ ing many, people have come to Chowan (bounty over the years in order to visit Ban don, her homeplace in upper Chowan County, As Well as to meet her personally. Mrs. Fletcher, together with her late hus band, John Fletcher, were charming hosts to Uje many visitors who visited their home and the couple reflected the friendship and hospi tality for which Chowan County is so well known. Mrs. Fletcher is a quiet, unassuming and very friendly person, as the result of which she has won friends by the legion from one end of the state to the other and even ex tending into many other states. Edenton people are very fond and proud of Mrs. Fletcher, so that members of the Eden ton Woman’s Club thought it a fitting tri bute to her to have a day dedicated in her honor. Governor Terry Sanford has agreed to in terrupt his very busy schedule to come to Edenton in order to officially dedicate the day in honor of Mrs. Fletcher, which is great ly appreciated by Edentonians. Too, there will be other dignitaries on hand for the oc casion in order to pay tribute to her. Not only has Mrs. Fletcher brought favor able publicity to Edenton and Chowan Coun ty. but she has always very willingly parti cipated in any affair to which she has been invited and in every instance she has added not only interest but dignity as well to the gathering. With favorable weather, it should be a fore gone conclusion that many Edenton and Cho wan County people will gather at the Court House Friday morning of next week to pay tribute an show their gratitude to such a splendid woman for her inestimable value to the entire section. Edenton is far more known as the result of Mrs. Fletcher’s writ ing and she is to be highly commended for causing many tourists to visit this section and helping to preserve our historical heritage. The entire community has a warm spot in its heart for Mrs. Fletcher, so that the dedi cation of a day in her honor is only a small way in expressing its appreciation and love for her. It is a tribute well deserved and will no doubt be cherished by Mrs. Fletcher as well as those responsible for its culmination. In short, it’s a case of “sending flowers while one is living.” . Fly Kites Safely! The summer will come soon and with it kite flying season. So some “flight instructions” issued by Central Louisiana Electric Com pany, Inc., to “kid kite pilots” who will soon racing across fields towing their “paper ahxraft” into “the wild blue yonder” are very ifpich in point now. Here they are: 1. Don’t fly a kite with metal in frame or ts ! v 2. Don’t use tinsel-string wire, or any ttfine with metal in it! 3. Don’t pull on the string or climb a power pole to loosen a snagged kite! Don’t fly a kite in the rain! -'Si Don’t fly a kite over TV or radio aerials! , T>. Don’t fly a kite near electric or power l&es! <7* Don’t run across streets or highways ito flying kites! iflf ‘M.

The story centered about Dr. Avery’s activities as an ornithologist. He made a collection of 900 birds for scientific use according to Audubon’s plan. Many were sent to orni thologists over the United States and to vari ous museums, the Smithsonian among them. Because of the heedless killing, especially of quail, he foretold that the “bird law” or the law limiting the bags of hunters, would be needed. He also discovered that the male quail incubates the eggs if his mate has been killed. But what interested Stuart was that the article stated that Dr. Avery was born in Edenton on September 21, 1831, the son of John Avery, D.D., and Ann Paine. That’s 130 years ago, so I don’t expect we have any oldtimers who remember much about the family. o According to the calendar. Spring is here, so I dug out my sandals which are easy on my feet which hurt from calluses. But going to the Court House sort of early Wednesday morning to check up on the court news, Edith Nixon, the janitress. spied the sandals and asked, “You’re kind of early wearing those ‘open air’ shoes, ain’t you?” As a matter of fact I am, and if this sort of weather con tinues I’m going back to the regular shoes, and maybe the long-handled underwear, too. o There’s a new look at the old Chowan County Court House, where the front area has been vastly improved by landscaping. A row of youpon bushes were planted all around the front, the ground has been leveled and grass seed planted, so that ere very long the front should look as attractive as the old building since the paint was removed from the brick. A good hand is due somebody for this fine improvement. o A lot of complaining is at times heard at restaurants. For instance the other night one customer, apparently imbibing a little too freely, made this remark: “That hamburger sandwich is moving and I don’t like to eat anything that is moving.” Another customer was complaining that his steak was tough when he was reminded that he was trying to cut it with a spoon instead of a knife. o A lot of preparations are being made for the 1961 Pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton and Countryside April 14-16. One suggestion, placed on my desk while attending court follows: SPIT AND POLISH FOR GARDEN TOUR Paint that fence, fix that gate Arrange those flowers with taste first rate Shine that brass mow that grass And on that marble hearth for Pete’s sake don’t expectorate! o Edenton Rotary Club’s judging team at the fat stock show Wednesday of last week was not so hot. Os the three teams from the Ro tary Club. Lions Club and Jaycees, the Ro tarians came in third place. Anyway, what do Jim Robinson, Jack Habit, Jim Ricks, Sr., and yours truly know about steers? But just the same Jim Robinson must have had some previous experience, for he entered the ring carrying a big stick—just in case. But maybe the bulls were just as scared as the judges. o Every now and then I get very encourag ing letters, one of which arrived early this week. Frank R. Fleming of Asheville, N. C., had this in part to say: “I understand you publish a wonderful interesting newspaper. I love small town weeklies and have heard a great deal about Edenton. What’s the popu lation? Please send subscription rates, plus a sample copy.” For such kind words a sample copy will go to Mr. Fleming this week. ,—o Last week The Herald carried a story that Mrs. Lena Leary was elected district chair man of the Business and Professional Wo men’s Clubs. Fact of the matter, Mrs. Leary was elected district director instead of chair man. Not being a member of the BPW Club (I belong to almost every other organization), I don’t know what the difference is, but Mrs. Leary is director and not chairman. But I’ll wager a bet that chairman or (Erector, the job requires a lot of Work. < ' ' —i——o—— K lot of people jqst don’t like to be around the Court House, especially when “big?’ court is in session. Such was the case Tuesday when a colored -man secured * paper in the R4gi*ter of Deeds office wMch had to be taken across the building Jbe Clerk of THE CHOWAW HCTAUP. EDgWTOW, WOKTB CAltOUm. THCIISDAT. APRIL «. 1361 that court roorp,” said the | colored man, “I ain’t got no; use for court.” He dreaded the thought so much that Mrs. | Bertha Bunch, register of; deeds, volunteered to take the paper over to Tom Shepard’s office. Well, that’s one vote Mrs. Bunch will get if she seeks re-election and has op position. o Edenton’s speckled perch fishing apparently is well known, according to a letter received this week from W. G. Ferebee of Norfolk. Said Mr. Ferebee: “I am wonder ing if you can put me in touch with someone in Edenton who would furnish me with a box or dozen speckled perch and a jack pike at one time. We don’t get any good fresh wa ter fish in Norfolk. I will thank you.” Well, there’s a lot of speckled perch caught, but if Bob Evans catches any body selling ’em, it’ll be just *oo bad, for it is against the law to sell ’em. And speak ing about speckled perch fish, C. D. Sawyer and I had little enough sense to go fishing Saturday afternoon as hard a$ the wind was blowing . But at that, we caught 15 of the scudders. And, not having eaten a speckled perch for some time, I can guarantee Mr. Ferebee that they are good eating. o There’s some satisfaction in knowing that there are still a lot of honest people around. Last week one of the Edenton rural mail carriers found a 1 note in the mail box. The note from Mrs. Sidney Spruill read: “Am returning the dol lar which was left for change from the money order yester day. You made the slip out ( correctly but left a dollar too much. Must have been stuck together or something. Hope it did not inconvenience you in any way.” Three Local Accidents Occur Over Week-end Three automobile accidents oc curred over the week-end and while damage was considerable, fortunately there was no seri ous bodily injuries. | On Sunday afternoon a col lision occurred at the comer of Church and Granville Streets when a car driven by William S. Perry collided with a station wagon driven by Sandra P. Sut ton of Walbridge, Ohio, who was visiting in Edenton. Miss Sut ton and Miss Karen Hollowell, a ! companion, were shaken up. . They were taken to Chowan , Hospital but were released shortly lifter minor injuries were treated. Monday morning about 8 o’clock a boat trailer tore loose near the Edenton Marina and veered into the path of a car driven by Edgar Hollowell of Cherry Point. To avoid collid ing with the trailer, Hollowell turned off the road into the swamp causing the car to sink to the level of the hood. No injuries or damage resulted. Later Monday morning 9-year old Allen Mills, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Mills was slight ly injured by scratches and bruises when he rode his bicycle into an automobile driven by Dr. William Wagoner of Eliza beth City. The boy rode from behind a parked oil truck think ing the path was clear. — IV I Elementary School I Lunch Room Menu v J Menus .at the Edenton Ele mentary School for the week. of April 10-14 are as follows: Monday: Luncheon mefet, toss salad, sandwich bread, green beans, peach pie, milk.
