\•. 7 c

merce on September 27.

Carter’s Ink is currently
building a new 90s000-square
foot plant in Edenton and is
> expected to be in operation
here shortly after January
1, 1967.
Supt. Hiram J. Mayo,

organization is pleased to
have Tusoher here for this
banquet since Carter’s Ink
has so recently announced
plans to become a member
of Edenton’s growing indus
trial family.
W. B. Gardner, town ad
ministrator, will succeed
Supt. Mayo as head of the
active community organiza
tion.
A native of Boston, Mass.,

WITHOUT PAD The so
called White Backlash to the
Johnson Administration's Civ
il Rights legislation push is
causing some unjust criticism
of Rep. Walter B. Jones of
the First Congressional Dis
trict. *
While, like the President,
Rep. Jones is a Democrat
he thinks far to the right of
the administration in the
field of Ci v >l Rights. There
are many different breeds of
cattle, horses, etc. By the
same token, there are about
as many different types of
Democrats.
The difference between the
administration and Rep.
Jones on the question of
Civil Rights is clear. This
has been borne out time and
time again as hospitals were
certified to participate in
Medicare ancr schools got in
compliance with the dicta
torial guidelines of the Of
fice of Education.
' The local school situation
is an excellent example of
how Rep. Jones has worked
closely with the people back
home to solve individual
problems.
Office of Education offi
cials have a convenient mem
ory. Chowan County Board
of Education was given ; two
years to work out a merger
with the Edenton admini
strative unit and
ing Negroes from WHiffe Oak
School into Edenton for'
schooling.
However, in the compli
ance plan for the city unit
was written a sentence stat
ing this unit would not ac
cept any new Negro students
from the county, beginning
in 1966-67. The fact that af
ter this was sent to Wash
ington the city and county
boards adopted ‘open door”
, policies had little affect on
■*the federal inspectors.
The Office of Education
held the city unit to the
statement about accepting the
students and if the unit was
to stay in compliance they
had to reject 26 Negro ninth
graders. !
When the boards got an
appointment in Washington
to discuss the matter, they
found Rep. Jones willing to
spend a day of his valuable
time trying to get a compro
mise. He was not success
ful. ‘
The congressman then out
lined what would happen
concerning federal funds if a
unit was out of compliance.
Because of the steps neces
sary for the government to
take to cut off funds, it
would have taken months for
this to. come pbout. Never
theless," the city unit held
fast to their commitment.;
. ires, the 26 students were
enrolled in Chowan /High
School. But Waite Jones
dSti’t put them there. He

cause he is a member of the
Democratic Party, the party
of the current administration
in Washington.
By being an outspoken
critic and actively opposed
to Civil Rights legislation in
Congress during this term,
Rep. Jones will not get the
Negro vote in the November
election. -—-
Golden Frinks, a person
well known in this area, has
said flatly: gomgvte
bring him home,” in
reference to the way the con
gressman has voted and spo
ken on the subject of Civil
Rights. - •
Those who would like to
unseat our able congressman
have all but abandoned a
campaign against him. They
can’t find any real issues.
He hasn’t been the rubber
stamp for President Johnson
they predicted. If he was
ever a rubber stamp of any
sorts, Walter Jones has prov
en beyond question that he
went to * Washington without
a stamp pad.
The thinking people of the
First Congressional District,
and especially in Chowan
County, won’t fall for a neg
ative campaign; a campaign
run against President John
son and not the incumbent
congressman.
Chowan County has a self
ish interest in keeping Rep.
Jones in Congress. He is
practically a native-son and
because of his outstanding
accomplishments in the field
of public service deserves
our continued vote and sup
port.
Match this record with the
opponent and yoie would see
that Rep. Jones ranks heads
and shoulders above him,
rubber stamp, pad and all.
JAYCEES ARE COMING—
Edenton Jaycees hope to fill
up a warehouse with paper
which will be collected
throughout the town Sunday
afternoon. This is the latest
in a long list of Jaycee pro
jects.
Residents are asked to
place old newspapers, maga
zines, etc., on the curb to
be picked up during the af
ternoon.
As we said earlier, you
will not only be helping the
club by cooperating in this
project, you will also be sav
ing the garbage man some
back strain.
We love newspapers and
naturally hate to see them
misused. But if they have
to go we know of no better
way than in the hands of
the Jaycees. Handle them
with tender care, men!

Aces Continue
Winning Ways;
At Home Friday
With their eye on the
fourth win of the season
and the 29th consecutive vic
tory, the Edenton Aces meet
Williamston at Hicks Field
Friday night.
After a slow . start, the
Aces have come along strong
in the last two encounters
of the young season, winning
last week 33-6 at Northamp
ton.
Coach Marion Kirby has
been working his team long
and hard on conditioning and
timing in preparation for the
game with Williamston.
While the Aces have rolled
up big scores in the last
two games. Coach Kirby has
not been impressed with the
performance of his team.
The return of Quarterback
Wes Chesson to the lineup
has bolstered the Aces’
chance to have another un
defeated season—the third in
a row.
At Northampton, Chesson
ran for two touchdowns and
then passed for another in
leading his team to victory.
His scores came on runs of
four and 30 yards. A sen
sational 60 yard run was
called back because of a pen
alty.
