THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1968 A LIFT FOR TODAY He leadeth me.—Psalm 23:2. The paths through which the Good Shepherd leads us may not always be easy, tor his leadership means correction, strengthening and eventual perfection for his true followers. We thank Thee, O Lord, that Thou hast prepared the road for us and that Thou leadest always, never casting us adrift. Still Waiting- At the risk of escalating your blood pressure dangerously, we will remind you again, for only a moment, that a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States held that a Communist may not be denied employment in a de fense plant in this country. We bring this up again only to point out that a non-union member, on the other hand, is denied such protection in a defense job. And we think that this strange contra diction deserves review. The Supreme Court was overturning the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950, and it is now the law of the land that Communists may work in our de fense plants, if they are dues-paying un ion members. But what of patriotic Americans who refuse to pay dues to a union? Well, they’re barred from defense plant em ployment, for all practical purposes. The real-life application of the Court’s decis ion is that a man may work in a sensitive industry no matter what organization he may choose to identify himself with— even one dedicated to the overthrow of the government of the United States—but his neighbor may not work, in a sensitive industry unless he joins and pays dues to a labor union, albeit doing so is against his will. The fact that the work er Wilby consider it an invasion of his pri vacy and a restriction on his personal freedom to have to join and pay dues to a union is ignored. The result is that we have freedom to join, on the one hand and the denial of freedom to refrain from joining on the other. Across the country there is a growing belief among proponents of right-to-work legislation that the Court’s decision in the Communist case will bring an end to compulsory unionism in the land. In both California and in Oklahoma there are presently test cases in the courts which challenge compulsory unionism, and the feeling is that the Court cannot guarantee the rights of a Communist without guaranteeing the rights of the patriotic citizen. Both the Congress and the Court have side-stepped the compulsory unionism is sue for too many terms and there is more than a little irony in the fact that the rights of a Communist could be decided so quickly while the rights of the working men who prize freedom and independence still await protection. Both, logic and the law seem now to be on the side of right-to-work. Continued from Page 1 amount received from federal and state sources, are about in line with the state wide average. There is some interesting information found in the statistical survey on this subject just released by the State De partment of Public Instruction.. Let’s look at a few. The current expense budget for Eden ton-Qiowan Schools in 1966-67 was $1,377,403.08, which makes our schools a pretty big business by any standards. This money came from the following soudees: local, $244,094.89; federal, $254,518.54; and state, $878,789.65. Last year there were 3,006 students in average daily attendance. Since the ad ministrative units were not merged un til July 1, 1967, the units were broken down with Chowan County (White Oak and Chowan High School) having 770 ADA and Edenton (Holmes and Walker High and Swain Elementary) having 2,236 ADA. The per pupil expenditure for Chowan was $502.73 while in Edenton it drop ped to $442.87. This shows, because of some basic requirements at all schools, it costs a great deal more per student to operate the smaller unit than it did the one with three times as many students. Now you know some facts about money matters and your schools. Take them for whatever they are worth. K3 J4eard &Seen IH ny M" It’s always very gratifying to learn about former Edentonians who are making good. Many of us remember Durward Harrell as a little codger running around Edenton, and last week news came in that he has been named vice president in charge of person nel for all Jordan Marsh stores in Florida. He lives in Miami and is very active in many of the activities there. Again my hat’s off to an Edenton boy who has left the old home town and is making good. ——o It’s so very nice to hear from Herald subscribers when they renew their sub scriptions. One of these came the other day from W. Cecil Evans, who lives in Camden, N. J. Said Mr. Evans: “Enclosed you will find check for the renewal of my subscription for The Chowan Herald. I think this is one of the best weekly news papers in the country. I like to keep up with the local Tar Heel news.” o Then W. B. Chesson, who lives near Roper, sent his renewal and had this to say: “I don’t like to miss a single copy. Will be looking for The Herald Friday. My wife and I really enjoy it, and read it from front to back each week. We have quite a number of friends in Edenton and like to hear of their activities. My wife used to write for The Edenton Daily News when Mr. Shackell was there. She enjoys Kate’s column a lot and glad to hear she is con valescing nicely. When I go over again I will try to run in to see you.” o Edgar Holmes, who left Edenton a long time ago and now lives at Chappaqua, N. Y., also sent in his renewal. On the bot tom of a note he wrote, “Best regards to Buff.” His sister, Mrs. Annie Brothers, on the staff at Albemarle Hospital, was so very kind and attentive to the Missus while she was a patient in the hospital, so I’m very grateful to her and glad that “Shim” Holmes remembered me after being away from Edenton so long. o Edenton Masons observed Past Masters’ Night at their meeting Thursday night. However something very noticeable was lacking. Izzy Campen, for many years the oldest “walking past master,” was unable to attend to fill the master’s chair. In his place was Frank Muth. All the stations and places were filled by past masters and while most of ’em were rather rusty on the work, they did manage to remember enough to get the lodge closed. o Tom Jackson and his wife have returned to Carolina Beach to again operate their fishing pier down that way. Friend Tom invited me (as well as all his Edenton friends) to visit him and do a little fishing and if I hear of ’em biting in that neck of the woods, he’s liable to have some com pany sometime this summer. o And speaking about fishing, there was a time when the late Wilmer Malone car ried the title of “One Fish Malone.” Well, after a fishing trip Sunday afternoon with Ernest Kehayes, he transferred the title to me. And maybe he has a good reason for it- He and I caught 12 nice speckled perch and of the dozen fish, I caught one. Both of us lost a few, however. Anyway, how can a fellow catch any fish if the scudders don’t bite the hook? o This information was handed to me this week: Employee problem drinking is cost ly to business and industry. But it can be detected—and it can be corrected. For in formation on how to develop a program for the early detection and treatment of prob lem drinkers in business and industry, write Alcoholism Center, Medical Building, Eliza beth City, N. C. 27909 or call the Chowan Health Department 482-2511. o At the present writing, the Missus is feeling better than she has in many months. Though still very weak and short of avoir dupois, both of us are hoping that she will continue to gain strength and soon be able to be out on the streets to meet and greet her many friends, which will be one of the best tonics she could get. o Again Edenton has lost a very nice couple. Mr. and Mrs. Carl B. Cranmer have left Edenton to make their home at Southern Pines. I don’t know if it was the golf courses in that neck of the woods that caused the move, but here’s one, and there are many more, who regret to lose them as Edentonians. o Then another serious loss not only for Menton and Chowan County but for the entire Albemarle area is the leaving of Dr. Isa C. Grant as director of the Health Dis trict. Dr. Grant has made a great contri bution in her field while here and will be leaving for a state-level position in Raleigh. As a token of appreciation for her work in this section, the staff of the health dis trict will hold a tea in her honor Sunday, March 24, from 2:30 to 3:30 P. M. The tea will be held in the social hall of the First Methodist Church in Elizabeth City, to which her friends are cordially invited to attend. Here’s one of the many who re grets to see Dr. Grant leave these parts. o Already we’re hearing a lot about elec tions, and soon the “hot air” will be flying. However, there’s an election scheduled for today (Thursday) when Edenton Rotary Club is scheduled to elect officers. There’s no “hot air” going the rounds for the of fices—not even cigars being passed around. FREE CHOICE Con tinned from Page 1 select either White Oak, Walker or Swain. High School students can choose Holmes, Walker or Chowan. The plan states all school-connected services, facilities, athletics, activities and programs are open to all on a de segregated basis. Then there are some men who are actuated by two motives only; the drive to get money and the fight to keep it. ** a * Nehru would like to end all foreign aid to his country, so he can be complete ly independent. That should not be hard to arrange. Shackleford Opposes Bond In Race W. E. Bond, veteran chairman of Cho wan County Board of Commissioners, filed for reelection Thursday and im mediately got opposition. Chairman Bond, a First Township representative on the five-man board, will be opposed by Clarence Z. Shackel ford, 36-year-old insurance man. This will be Shackelford’s first bid for politi cal office. Easter Seal Drive A campaign for funds has been launched in Chowan County by the Eas ter Seal Society, of which Jim P. Partin is chairman. Partin said the Easter Seal Society stands ready to help crippled children and adults in this community. This is done with wheelchairs, braces, ortho pedic appliances, medical evaluations, therapy treatments and other rehabili tation services. He pointed out that North Carolina’s physically handicapped—young and old —have a friend in Easter Seals. Partin said 90 per cent of the funds secured through the annual drive remain in North Carolina. The campaign across the country is being carried on during the period from March 1 through April 14. Hundreds of letters have been sent to area residents and citizens are urged to mail their con tributions to George W. Lewis, treasurer, at an early date. COUNCIL RECEIVES Continued from Page 1 “If town and county money for op erations is not forthcoming we might as well forget it,” he said, referring to the opening of the Visitor Center-Mu seum in the Barker House and other plans for attracting tourists to Edenton. Plans call for opening the center on June 2. W. J. P. Earnhardt, Jr., town attor ney and former legislator, pointed out that over the past few years the state has put over SIOO,OOO in restoration work in Edenton. He said the town’s contribution would be a “short invest ment as to what other citizens of the state” have given through state tax funds. Elmore said the chamber committee felt purchase of the Hobpwsky would be a good investment for the town. He said the present parking areas—which are leased—are not guaranteed. He added that sufficient parking is an item of convenience for people coming to Edenton to shop. ‘“This is a must ((off-street parking) if we are to get people to continue to shop in Edenton,” he said. Others speaking in favor of the re quest included George Alma Byrum, Ben bury Wood, Jesse Harrell, Mrs. Lena Leary, James C. Dail, George Lewis, Mrs. Wood Privott and Mrs. Irma Alls brook. At one time during the discussion, Mayor John A. Mitchener, Jr., said he is a firm believer in the downtown busi ness section. “With progress goes a price tag and without a price tag there will be no progress,” he added. Councilman Henry G. Quinn pointed out that the town has a very small in vestment thus far in off-street parking. A workable program, necessary for the town to qualify for low-rent housing grants, was approved and will be sent to the Regional Office in Atlanta. Councilman David White explained an investigation into the cost of going to containerized trash pick-up in the busi ness district. He said the approach taken should be discussed with the Mer chants Committee of tfce chamj^jr 1 iifgt,- Councilman voted tdlj Approve Wftjtg’s recommendation. Gardner said the purchase of another packer truck would eliminate collection of trash in open trucks. A petition concerning the condition of the Wiggins property on Filbert’s Creek was presented. Mayor Mitchener said the complaints would be investigated and turned over to the Planning Board. Earlier in the meeting, Mayor MitcK ener brought to council’s items he felt deserved some study and -consideration. They included a review of the ad ministrative ordinance, personnel policy, increased salary for mayor and council and a retirement program. He appointed committees to study the areas mentioned and in most cases re port by October 1. Mayor Mitchener recommended that the mayor’s salary be increased from $1,200 a year to $3,000. He said the job is very demanding and the demands will increase in the future. He recom mended that council men be paid S2OO per year plus $lO per meeting. His retirement program included the town putting aside $12,000 per year for the next five years and allow employees to contribute. Upon retirement the em ployee could withdraw from the fund a set amount, less 1 per cent for book keeping. Mrs. George C. Hoskins, chairman, Chowan County Board of Elections, said C. J. Hollowell has filed for reelection as commissioner from the Third Town ship. The only incumbent yet to file is Dal las Jethro, Jr., in the Fourth Township. One candidate is already in the race in that township. It is Mrs. Cabell Fletch er Pruden.

I have been in the Sen ate long enough to get the necessary ex perience to be effective and my service on the appropriations subcommittee, local government and court reform commis sions put me in a position to be heard.

We have lost approxi-f mately half of our former representation through reapportionment. If we don’t send strong men, we are going to be hurting. I believe I am in position to give that strong representation to our Northeast district.” During the 1967 General Assembly, Sen. Wood was chairman of the com opment committee. “I feel that my legislative experience during the past three regular sessions and three special sessions of the General • Assembly, along with my background in agriculture and business, qualify me to represent the wide diversity of interest and enterprises of our people effetively throughout this district,” the candidate said.
