Col. Edward H. White’s June 3 space walk has been cheered around the world. Photographs, like the one above, are captivating the nation.

They located an old copy of Dr. Richard Dil lard’s booklet about the Cj.vil War in this county and had it reprinted. Rack in '1916, .the first printing of /"“The Civil War Iri/Chowanj County” was a hu£e success. That is not the case with a 350-run on the secorid printing in 1965. School i$ out and more than 100 of she booklet are still unsold. Library Club repro duced this book as a non profit' venture. Like a lot of ..enterprises started for profit, this one has ended up with red ink and green b<wks. . This book is an account of Chowan’s role in the most tumultuous era in American history, the War Between the States. The foreword states that Dr. Dillard was a witness to that era and his Booklet “is a vital and in separable part of Chowan County’s rich and colorful heritage.” A number of copies are on sale at Hollowell’s Drug Store. For those who live out of town, if you will send your $1.&0 to The Her ald,'wtr wtR 'see ttlSfydu 'get your booklet by return mail.

AID TO BUSINESS —The orderly flow of traffic jn and through a town 6r city is one of the greatest aids to business. People are natur ally going to frequent a place where they aren’t re quired to spend most of their time between stop lights. Edenton has spent a great deal of money on off-street parking. This free parking area will help downtown businesses if traffic is prop erly routed and adequate signs are erected pinpointing the lot’s location. What is a detriment to lo cal business is the congestion f which exists on Broad Street on Friday afternoons and . most of Saturday. The solution to this is quite simple. The allowing of “U” turns at the foot of f Broad Street must be stop ped during the rush hours, j At the intersection of Broad and Water Streets there I could be some channeliza l tion which has worked so | well in other areas of town. There is no excuse for a [ motorist to have to sit in a parking space for JIO minutes at the end of Broad Street j trying to get into the line of traffic and then find an other 20 minutes or more is I required to get to the poet office. Traffic is a constant prob letn. Solutions are not nor mally as easy to come by as the one for the congestion in Ed Chowan County, North Carolina 27932 Thursday, June 17, 1965.

July 5 will be a holiday for county em ployees. Single Copy 10 Cents Chairman W. E. Bond said a surplus exists in the fire fund and since there appears to be no interest in organiz ing any new departments the new rate will allow the county to meet current ex penses. Included in the tentative budget are pay increases in most county departments. Mrs. Pansy Elliott, county accountant, said the county will have a levy of $379,200 from the $1.58 rate, figured on $24 million. Added to this is $314,164.27 which is anticipated from sources oth er than ad valorem taxes. She said the 1964-65 rate of $1.58 produced $351,155, bsaed on a valuation of $22,- 250,000. Added to this was $287,799.35 from other sourc es, bringing the current bud get to $638,954.35. While the overall budget for next year is $54,409.92 more than this year, the levy will increase only $28.- 045 with the remainder com ing from other sources. The county had anticipated 535.000 from ABC profits this year and have actually received $45,000. However, for budget purposes, the commissioners are again us ing the $35,000 figure. The breakdown of a $1.58 rate is the same as this year. Mi’s. Elliott said. This is: General Fund, 20 cents; Bonds, 19 cents; Charity, seven cents; Health, eight cents; Schools, 81 cents; Welfare, 11 cents; Revalua tion, two cents; Agriculture and Economics, eight cents, and Civil Defense, two cents. Chairman Bond said al though the schools had re quested a big increase next year the commissioners felt they could operate within the 81 cent rate. He said the split next 1 year will be about 70 per cent for Eden ton schools and 30 per cent for Chowan County schools. The county school budget, however, carried a 20 per cent increase. The Edenton school budget was increased 9 per cent. The chairman said the ten tative budget also carries an increase of SI,OO0 —from $4,- 000 to ss,ooo—to the Town of Edenton for fire protec tion. There is a stipulation, however, that if a fire dis trict is not formed within the next 12 months the town will not receive the increase. The same is true with regards to a SSOO increase for Cross; Roads-Center Hill Fire De partment. At the meeting the com missioners gave the fuel con tract to Coastland Oil Com pany. This business had been put out on bids. Larceny Counts Aired In Court Two of three young men allegedly caught in the act of stealing parts from two cars were tried in Chowan Recorders’ Court Tuesday.
