THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 29, 1968 A Feeble Federation Legends die hard. Legend has it that the dove is a gentle bird and it has come to symbolize gentleness. Yet ornitholo gists characterize the dove as one of the most vicious and cruel of all birds. The legend of coalition governments dies equally hard. The doves in our country cry for a coalition government in South Vietnam. They would invite the Viet Cong terrorists to attend the councils of peace and sit in on a gov ernment of that war-torn Republic. Perhaps we can relate this strange con cept to our own domestic demons. lTn der this plan any fiendish faction of more than a specific minimum membership would be entitled to a seat in our Con gress. Indeed, we could make it like the UN, perhaps, where the one-group, one-vote law prevails, irrespective of size. There are voting members in the ITNl T N these days that couldn’t qualify to vote at a PTA convention. In any event, a coalition government in our country would make for some inter esting debates. The Draft Dodgers and the Flag Burners would probably clash with the Klansmen. The Black Nation alists and the Minutemen would have to be frisked at the door, and they would have to be kept facing each other at all times. Communist delegates would have to remove their shoes before entering. Shoe-banging incidents such as that en gaged in by the burly Khrushchev would have to be guarded against. The Hippies would want to recline, rather than sit. during debates. True, it would be interesting to bring sese types together for a legislative con ference. But there would be one major drawback—the lack of communication. All of these groups speak a language foreign to the United States. And that is the precise problem in South Vietnam. Those who insist that the revolutionists participate in the gov erning process in that mutilated land ig nore the reality that there can be no real communication between the two antagon ists. They speak different languages. Just to define a word would take months. Coalition is a soothingly sweet word. But sugar in gasoline stalls the motor. It doesn't generate power. Castro Eavesdropping? The seizure of the Pueblo by the North Koreans and last summer’s Middle East crisis point up dramatically the import ance of communications to the nation's security. While the full story of any possible communications failure in the case of the Pueblo will be some time ccming, the hot line cable linking Washington to the Kremlin has been given much of the credit for averting a major confrontation between the two powers during the Israeli-Egyptian War. With this growing emphasis on the military and political reliance on our communications systems, questions raised on the floor of Congress recently by Rep. Paul Rogers, of Florida, concerning the security of present and future satellite communications deserve quick and firm answers. The congressman told his colleagues that he was disturbed by press reports that Fidel Castro, perhaps with Russian support, may right now be able to inter cept any and all messages sent via satel lite between the United States and Eur ope. He said that he also is concerned :.ver the fact that these satellites could be disrupted by Cuban jamming devices. If this is true and as marvelous as satellite technology is, this country should not allow itself to be put in the position of subjecting its communication links to the whims of a Castro or Kosygin. This is perhaps one of the best arguments be ing advanced by international carriers on behalf of continued cable development across the Atlantic. Rogers’ concern has prompted him to ask the Federal Communications Com mission, the Defense Department and others to look into the situation. In light of the serious consequences which could flow from a disruption of service or leakage in our communications system, Rep. Rogers’ concern is justified and his questions should be answered promptly. H ■n r'eard &Seen -By Buff " That The Herald is read in many far away places was again proved just the other day when W. E. Mills, commander of Ed Bond Post of the American Legion, re ceived a letter from India. It was written by Mrs. Dee Carlton and to prove that the paper was read, a number of clippings was sent from several recent issues. “I have just this moment finished read ing a copy of The Chowan Herald,” wrote Mrs. Carlton. “We here in India serving with the Am erican Peace Corps, use mosi of the home town newspapers to make scrap books for our kindergartens. I found your p£.per so interesting that I read it from top to bot tom. In the course of reading it, I found that it carries a great deal of interesting information about your part of the country. Also that it includes the civic interests of people that are interested in other folks. “So, with your kind indulgence I would like to ask if there might be an opportun ity for me to interest you in a project that needs a bit of community spirit, such as your community has, to keep it operational. I will need to explain .briefly so you may understand. “The CARE, INC. (Cooperative For Am erican Relief Everywhere) has given a num ber of we volunteers enough rupees to build small 26x16-foot kindergarten build ings. Some of these buildings are located in villages that are not on the present list that are aided by the government. There fore, there are no funds available to pay for the teacher, ayya (maid), gardener. The sum for the wages for these three people is not a lot by our standards. The school has a built-in chula (stove) and a good store room. Also a latrine for the children. I have on hand seeds furnished by UNICEF, also tools to put in school gardens. I have one garden that is 50x60 feet that the small boys here in this village have helped me put in. “My school which was opened just this last month has a roll of over 60 children. They will learn their numbers, colors, al phabet and health habits while they are attending school from 10 A. M. to l P. M. Then they are served a mid-day meal from the supplies that are furnished by CARE. A number of these children are from the Harijen families (untou. hables). -1 am of the belief that this small amount of food is all that some children get to eat. I have put in '"thiii good-size garden so the vegetables will be available for them also. With vegetables added to the mush and chillies added, they get at least a few ounces each day—children, three, four and five years only. “My idea is as follows: I am strictly on my own. This paying of the teacher, ayya, and gardener is something that I should like to get operational before I go back to America in June at the end of my tour. I have a lady who is completely honest and I could depend on- her to continue to see that this school operates after I leave. “If I were able to get 1,000 small child ren who would give a penny a month of their spending money, I would then have $lO which is equal to 75; rupees. “Perhaps if 500 high School students would give two cents per month, the gardener’s wages would be paid. Also cover, fuel, chalk, etc., $lO. “The food shortages in India in the small villages are real problems. “I would like to say again that your paper gave me an awfully good feeling to read it. To know that even in these troubled times that people still had the time to be interested in the things that others are doing. Hoping that I might hear from you in answer to this scrawled let ter. With friendly regards from India.” Mrs. Carlton’s address is: Mrs. D. E. Carlton, Hayatnagar Block, Hyderabad Dis trict, A. P. India. o Saturday again we had a real taste of winter with snow covering the ground and the weather too cold for comfort. But if a lot of us recall, it was nothing like the shew storms we had just about 20 years ago. There was an 8 to 10-inch snowfall and hardly before we dug out of it, 15 to 18 inches more snow dumped down on us. Everything was at a standstill and .many travelers were stranded in Edenton. It was necessary to enlist aid from the local Na tional Guard Company to use their heavy tanks to open up streets so that at least a little traveling could be done around Eden ton. Not one of those pleasant experiences to remember. o Some members of the Methodist Men’s Club are already getting ready for another pickle herring breakfast Saturday morning. The “cooks” and “waitresses” will be ready to dish out the herring and com bread from 7 to 9 o’clock and all of ’em hope they will be busy serving the herring eaters. And if any who attend the breakfast do not get enough fish, they can get an extra fish supper Saturday night. Edenton Jaycees will stage a fish fry from 5 P. M. to 8 P. M. at their building on the old Edenton Naval Air Station. They, too, will have a crew cn hand to serve the meals. And they’d like to serve a dickens of a lot. o Well, my commuting partner, Tom By rum, has been relieved from going to Eliza beth City every night to see his wife, who underwent an operation the same day as my wife. Mrs. Byrum was released Tues day and is now back home and I’m told is doing fine except for being weak. How ever, my trips back and forth are not lone some, for the fellows at the Methodist Church have volunteered to accompany me. It was such a very nice gesture on their part, but with a birthday Saturday I have a sneaky feeling that they (and the Missus) think I’m too darned old to be driving alone at night. And speaking about my birthday, the best present I could have re ceived was a turn for the better on the part of Kate. As of Wednesday morning, she was very much improved, in good spirits and now itching to get back home. —o Having eaten dinner the other day with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kehayes, I was given a cigar after the meal from a box labeled ‘Throw-Outs.” I had not smoked all of the cigar by the time I went beck to work, so Clyde Slade asked, “Mr. Bufflap, what kind of a cigar are you smoking?” I told him it was a "Throw-Out,” which caused Clyde to say, “Well, somebody forgot to throw that one out” But then he doesn’t know anything about cigars anyway. £l;i' public parade Continued from Page 1 While all the rambling was taking place, the defense attorney sat across the aisle with a broad smile on his face. In another case the results of a breathalizer test on a defendant charged with driving drunk was not sufficient to justify the charge. This was not known by the solicitor until 30 minutes or more had been spent in trial of the case. Again, time could have been saved and embarrassment avoided had the so licitor known the facts in the case before they came from the witness chair. Such prosecution of cases plays right into the hands of the defense. A solicitor living in Currituck and spending approximately four hours a week in Chowan County cannot possibly vigorously prosecute 25 or more cases week in and week out. The county pays a local attorney to assist the Superior Court solicitor. This might well be the answer for our District Court. The county now gets facility fees which could be spent on such an assistant solicitor. 3 Drunk Driving Cases Are Heard Judge Fentress Horner of Elizabeth City presided over a session of Chowan District Court here Tuesday during which time several driving drunk cases and other matters were heard. Judge Horner sentenced Herbert Wes ley Chappell to 18 months on the roads. Solicitor Wilton Walker tried Chappell for second offense of driving drunk. However, Judge Horner noted in the record that Chappell had been convicted five times of the same offense and two limes for driving after his license had been suspended or revoked. Notice of appeal was given to the March term of Superior Court, Appeal bond was set at SSOO. Horace Burch Taylor was also convict ed of second offense of driving drunk. He was sentenced to six months, suspend ed upon payment of S3OO fine and costs and not drive for four years. He also appealed and bond was set at S3OO. The third case of driving drunk, that of Roy Neal Baker, was changed to reckless driving at the close of the testi mony. Baker was ordered to pay a fine of SIOO and court costs. Charles Matthew Mizelle was convict ed of speeding and ordered to pay a fine of SIOO and costs. He gave notice of appeal and bond was set at $l5O. In other cases called, the following action was taken: Artis Boyce, violation of probation, 90 days, probation revoked and a part of sentence invoked. Doris Wilder Stallings, no operator’s license, second offense, 60 days, suspend ed upon payment of SIOO fine and costs. Johnnie Hersey Dillard, failure to yield right of way. costs. Clifton Jordan, possession of untaxed liquor, SSO fine and costs. Louise Holley, possession of untaxed liquor and possession for the purpose of sale, not guilty. Edward William Waters, Jr., speeding, prayer for judgment continued upon pay ment of $lO fine and costs. STATE HONOR WON Continued from Page 1 just delighted,” she said. The judges. Dr. John B. Robbins, Dr. Dan L. Morrill and Dr. Edward Perzel, are members of the history department at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Mrs. Harold A. Morriss of Charlotte, state committee chairman, offered her congratulations. “How we are hoping that she will be the national winner,” she said.

Benefit Will Be Repeated Saturday Continued from Page 1 very well. Moved along fast, and was just as cute as could be. The costumes were outstanding, as well as the talent.” Mrs. Bill Sanford: “The whole show was wonderful! Nobody should miss this outstanding hometown talent.” Mrs. W. J. P. Earnhardt, Sr.: “I owe somebody more money —1 got more than my money’s worth. The show was tremendous. It was an evening full of good laughter.” Sambo Dixon: “Oh No!” (and put his hands over his face when his daddy appeared on the stage). Mrs. Joe Thorud: “Very compact show with lots of good entertainment rolled into 1:15.” Kel Elmore: “I want to see the ‘Mr. Edenton Contest’ again; that was really tough! It’s a crazy show for all ages.” Mrs. Nelson CrandaU: “Fresh and wholesome, a real treat for the whole family.” Mrs. H. J. Cuthrell: “It showed a lot of work. I thoroughly enjoyed it.” Jesse Harrell: “To say the least, I am sure it must have been a real task for the judges to choose ‘Mr. Edenton’, from the many muscular physiques that were contestants. The Barber Shop Quartet starring Lou Gardner Costello is a scream. All the other scenes were real good, and something you don’t want to miss.
