Originally the func tion of the Chamber of Commerce was, as its name suggests, to protect commerce in transit, in the market place, and to promote the sale of goods. Today as the results of the dynamic changes in our social and economic order. Chambers of Commerce have become community organizations. The success ful Chamber of Commerce today is one which recognizes all the factors which af fect the community, and adjusts its pro gram accordingly. Your Chamber of Commerce is a volun tary organization of the business and professional men and women. It unites business and professional individuals as well as firms and organizations, thereby creating a central agency which lends it self to building a better community. There is a place in your Chamber of Commerce effort for all who share the desire to improve the community. Your Chamber of Commerce organizes and di rects the energies of those who believe that a community worth living in is a community worth improving. Your Chamber of Commerce enabler these people to accomplish collectively what no one of them could do individual ly. The strength of the Organization lies in attracting the greatest number of in dividuals and firms into membership thereby creating a pool of resources, nat ural and human from which can be drawn ideas, energy and finances. The major responsibility of your Chamber of Commerce is the Communi tv’s economic well being. It works to increase wealth and prosperity by facili tating the growth of existing businesses and fostering new ones. New wealth can be directed toward establishing and im proving civic, cultural, and educational facilities, in order to create proper busi ness climate for attracting additional business and industry. The Body And Pesticides Luckily for the future food supply of this nation—and of the whole world, with its population explosion—more and more reliable scientific evidence concerning the use of pesticides in agriculture is making its appearance. It is the kind of evi dence that soundly and permanently bur ies those fears connected with pesticides which at times have reached an almost hysterical stage. One of the mort important findings was described by University of California scientist Robert L. Metcalf, a leading LF. S. authority on pesticide chemistry, in a talk before the recently held Sympos ium on Scientific Aspects of Pest Control. The human body, he said, has an aston ishing ability to render pesticide chemi cals harmless and to get rid of them. This means '"that the body’s abilities to deal pesticides is so ef fective that legally permitted residues are completely safe. And the same thing is . true for animals. Dr.*'Metcalf cited the example of Mala thion,-which has become the most wide ly used general purpose insecticide. It is, in hfs term, “a selective insecticide”— with a selectivity resulting from the fact that animals can detoxify it while insects can’t. The insects, in short, perish— while we reap the sweeping benefits.. As tinae roßs on, feeding the World will become more and more of a problem. It can be solved only by the fanning techniques and technology—and the proper application of pesticides is high on the list of “musts”. That this can be done with safety is a boon 'to mankind. | Heard & Seen “By Buff” Jlec Lupton and the Missus have been spending two weeks m California, and about this time they no doubt are think ing about packing up and coming home. The Herald was swamped with work the past two weeks which, it seems, always happens when anyone of the crew is not in his place; somehow the job gets done so that none of us needs to get the idea that we are indispensable. Anyway, Hec and his wife surely enjoyed being with their daughter, Sharon, and her family, as well as seeing a lot of the sights on the other end of the country. Hec is sched uled to be back on the job Monday morn ing. o If anybody doubts that a storm can develop in Albemarle Sound almost in a twinkling of an eye, they should have been out on the water late Saturday after noon. The Missus, her son Marty and I were fishing just back of the homes in Pembroke Circle when a cloud suddenly made up and the water, in a matter of seconds, became so rough that we were forced to seek shelter at the Albemarle Fish and Produce Company’s fish house at the foot of Granville Street instead of going across the bay to Jet Etheridge’s place where I keep my boat. And even at that we were tossed about and sprinkl ed considerably by the waves. Roy Leary and Herbert Baker, too, were forced to land at the fish house from a trip out in the Sound. A lot of small boats also headed for shore and the Rescue Squad’s boat made awip out in the Sound, but fortunately' no one in trouble. Yep, -that Sound can get mighty rough and in a hurry at that. o - Preliminary work has already been started on Edenton’s new fire station at the corner of Broad Street and Park Avenue. Town employees are filling up the low place at the corner, after which piling will be driven and actual construc tion work begun. The new building will change the appearance at the corner which has been transformed into a small lake after every rain of any size at all. Then another change is taking place at the corner of: Broad and Church streets., where the old Badham house, now owned by Haywood Phthisic, is being leveled to the ground. It was, Occupied by the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library until the latter moved into the new and beau tiful building on Water Street. It is not generally known what will be placed on this corner but it will be sumpin’. o The Missus wracks her brains each week to fix upfal short poem to head her column, but somehow, the poems are not to the liking of the gay who puts the type in The Herald pages. A week or two ago two lines were transposed and last week the last line of the poem was left out. There were eight lines in the poem, but the maker-upper no doubt thought seven lines was enough. Methinks she’s going to get a gun and shoot somebody. o It is very encouraging to note that Edenton is to again have a semi-pro base ball team. A lot of us can remember when Edenton was a baseball hotbed and it was almost a holiday when the Eden ton team played at home. Then later the Albemarle League came into being and a fellow had to go to the ball field at least half an hour before game time in order to park himself on a seat. Os late years, however, a baseball game hardly drew enough gate receipts to even pay for the balls. Here’s hoping those interested in organizing a baseball team will be suc cessful and can revive some interest in the national pastime. What’s more en joyable than sitting on the grandstand or bleachers at the ball park after a hot sultry day to watch a game of baseball? o Saturday will be election clay when a field of candidates hope to be elected to office. It is not only a privilege but a duty for every eligible voter to cast a bal lot for the candidates he or she thinks will serve best. There’s plenty of people in the world who would welcome the opportunity to have a part in selecting their officials. Here in Chowan County, as well as all over the country, all too many take elections far too lightly and fail to go to a little trouble to go to the poHs to cast a ballot. It might not al ways be so. — 1 - 1 O The latest fishing story comes from Er nest Kehayes. Ernest has a pier back of || his house in Pembroke Circle mid when ij THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY MAY 86, 1966. ' Sports Afield By TED RESTING Ths name “sea gull” is a misnomer; there is no such thing. The gull is a long winged Jiird of ocean, lake or river, ranging in size from 12 inches to over three feet, a member of the order Charadriiformes and the La ridae family. Twenty - nine of the 44 species of gulls breed in the Northern Hemi syhere, many carrying names as romantic as their flight: Magellan, Patagon ian and Chinese black-head ed, Aden, mew, silver, Bona parte, swallow - tailed, Sim eon. The one known to us all, amost as famiiar as the neighborhood’s cat, is the herring gull, a big white bird with black wing tips and a pearl-gray mantle when adult, a dusky brown when immature. He is'seen throughout North America: near the sea, but also on lakes, rivers, even ponds— physically refuting the be lief that the gull. is found only near the sea. The gull always seems to •be hungry. This appetite and drive for food makes gulls valuable as scavengers, helping us keep harbors and beaches clean. It is also their armor: all gulls are protected by fed eral law. People who have tried to keep gulls as pets—picking . them up on beaches with broken wings, or trying to raise abandoned young— claim that they respond vi ciously to rescue and care. “They peck at the hand that feeds them, and they leave as soon as possible,” warns lack Denton Scott, Roving Editor of Sports Afield Magazine. Experts who trained many birds for the Alfred Hitchcock film “The Birds” claimed that gulls were the least cooperative. The communications sys tem of gulls is surely one of the best in existence. And how it works has been puzzling sailors and science for some time. Run a test yourself. The next time you go bay or ocean fishing, watch the sky. There are no gulls in sight. Start, cleaning fish, or throwing remains of lunch overboard, and time how long it takes for gulls to appear. he was called to supper Tuesday evening he threw out his line and laid the reel on the pier. When he returned the reel and line was missing, so he hurried ly got in his boat to try to find his fishing rig. With a pole he finally came across it some distance from the pifer and contrary to the stories about the big ’un getting away, he pulled in his line and with it a cat fish weighing about five pounds.

Bex 504 PHONE 482-242$ Vote On Cotton Is Being Held Cotton farmers in Chowan County will vote this month to decide whether they want to be able to sell or lease their cotton allotments out side the county, A. C. Grif fin, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva tion County Committee, has announced. The referendum on the question will be con ducted by mail during the pe riod May 16 through May 25. Ballots may also be deliver ed by hand to the ASCS county office. The only question to be decided by the balloting is whether upland cotton allot ments may be transferred during the next three years to other farms outside the county which are owned or controlled by someone else. Such transfers may be made by sale or by lease. In no case may transfers be made outside the State. An af firmative vote by at least two-thirds of the county’s cotton farmers who vote will permit such transfers for the next three upland cotton crops, 1967-69. A referendum on the same question was conducted last fall throughout the Cotton Belt,, and growers in 349 counties at that time ap proved the allotment trans fers. The vote this May will be held only in counties which disapproved such transfers in last fall’s vote. The upcoming vote by mail marks a first in program ad ministration, according to Griffin. Farmers previously have been able to vote by mail in annual ASC commit teeihan elections, but the method has never before been used in a commodity program referendum. Griffin said, “It’s easy to vote by mail, and we hope all producers will vote. The ! vote should be fully repre- ! sentative of the wishes of j cotton farmers in our coun- ' ty.” The chairman said that copies of the ballot (have been, are being) )sent to all cotton producers of record in the county, together with in formation describing the pro gram’s purpose and opera tion. Any cotton producer who has a question about the ref erendum or about who is eligible to vote, is urged to get in touch with the ASCS county office. PULL OVER VS.
