When fihally de activated in October, ! ' 1958, Edenton suffered the trading loss from an annual payroll of nearly $2% million. “The for mer Air Base embraces a total of 3,280 acres with a number i of industrial type buildings erected in the haryj% area,” Mayor Mitchener stated?"^ The runways at this 'facility, it was learned, were built to sustain heavy bombers f and their length sufficient to handle practically any type of commer cial aircraft. "The Edenton' Municipal Airport is classified as, a ‘trunk system airport’ un der Federal Aviation Agency terms,” the Mayor said, “and will be under theiV supervision. Pilots who take off and land at the Edenton Municipal Airport i will, of course, be governed' by all FFA rules and regulations.” Piedmont Airlines will pro vide taxi service, accOrdihg to Tom Ferguson, manager of Piedmont’s Norfolk office, to and from the Edenton Airport, such flights to go via INorfolk to all other desinations and re turn.- Thus Edenton is, tied to all scheduled flights throughout the world with its newly acquir ed airport. The Edenton Chamber of Commerce through its indus trial development committee, is working with the Town Council to locate industry on the vari ous tracts at the former air base now for sale as government sur plus property. Mayor Mitchen er indicatea that these were prime industrial sites on Albe marle Sound only three miles from U. S. 17. The Norfolk Southern Railway main line runs across the property and round trip barge service will be available to the port of Nor folk for water-borne freight. “We are confident that this l VOTERS I AM A CANDIDATE FOR ■ , , ’( t* , ;^ r Councilman- at-1 In The Municipal Election TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1961 I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT! \ 2 ❖ Frank M.

For the two seats as Council? men-at-large there are four as pirants. These include George ! A. Byrum and J. Edwin Bufflap, incumbents, and Frank Holmes and George Tillett- A contest has. also developed for First Ward Councilman, where Richara Dixon and J. D’. Elliott will fight it out for the seat vacated by William C. Bunch, who .resigned after mov ing to Norfolk. The other contest is in the Third WarG, where ,R. Elton Forehand incumbent, is being opposed by the Rev. F. H. La- Garde. Prospective voters may regis ter up to Saturday, April 22, un til 9: P. M. Attention is also called to the fact that .the one shot ballot has been outlawed. This means that a voter must cast a ballot for as many can didates as there are seats to fill. For instance, there are four candidates for Councilman-at lhrge, so that a voter must cast a ballot with two names marked. If this is not, done the ballot will be discarded. The same is true with the Board of Public Works, where a voter must mark five names in order for the bal lot to be counted. The election will be held un der the supervision of the Cho wan County Board of Elections on Tuesday, May 2, with polls open from 6:30 A: M. to 6:30 P. M. THE CHOWAK HERALD. EDEITTOg. WORTH CAHOLIWA.
