THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1968 A UFT FOR TODAY God is no respecter of persons.—Acts 10:34. By God’s law, given by him to human ity, all men are free, are brothers, and are equals.—Mazzini. Wa thank thee. Merciful Fether, for Thy justice to all—great and humble alike. Censorship Two long-time foreign cor respondents have combined their talents to write a book which is going to be widely quoted across the land this summer. The title is, “The Experts.” The authors are Seymour Freidin, who was executive editor for foreign af fairs of the New York Herald Tribune, and George Bailey, who was executive editor of The Re porter magazine. On page 85, there is this extra ordinary report: “Unrevealed until now. as well, was the outburst of the late President’s brother, Senator Rob ert F. Kennedy. Grief-stricken at the sudden calamity that cut the President down, Bobby Ken nedy telephoned a ranking offi cial of the CIA, who dumbfound ed, heard him demand with co mingled anger and emotion: ‘Did your outfit have anything to do with this horror? Bobby Ken nedy, subsequently regaining his composure, never mentioned the call again. But he has often en countered the man he phoned, who, as it happened, had been a dedicated pro-Kennedy support er.” Os course, that paragraph was written, and the book was already off the presses when an assassin’s bullet struck Bobby Kennedy. But the paragraph un derscores a point that we want to make. In the aftermath of a tragedy of this kind, emotions run high, and rumors keen pace. Accordingly, the arbitrary threat of that California judge to hold newsmen and officials in contempt if facts about Bobby Kennedy’s assassin are made public is an insult to the public. And a danger. If, like Oswald, this new Ken nedy assassin also had leftist as sociations and contacts, as the meagre news about him suggests, then the public deserves to know it at the earliest possible date. Newsmen and officials, judicial and otherwise, who withhold full disclosure about his political ori entation are actually helping those who share the assassin’s views. Mayor Yorty revealed just enough to suggest that the sha dow of Communism and/or Cas tro has fallen on another victim. For this the Mayor has been chastised publicly, it being sug gested that he has jeopardized the ability of the court to get a conviction of the accused murd erer. Nuts! If Bobby Kennedy could ask the question quoted in “The Ex perts,” imagine the questions the public is asking in this period of imposed blackout. Censorship by judicial decree is no more palatable than any other kind. Bond Sales Noted May sales of U. S. Savings Bonds and Freedom Shares in Chowan County total ed $15,716 and pushed the total dose to the half-way mark of the 1968 quota. Graham White, Chowan County vol unteer chairman, said for the first five months of this year the combined amounted to $43,544, which is 43.2 per cent of the county’s annual goal for 1968. Cumulative sales for the first five months of this year in North Carolina Mxraittd to $27,697,618. JJearJ &Seen “By Buff' i Try as hard as one will, it’s a dickens of a job to keep from making errors in a newspaper. One appeared, for no good reason at all, in a story appearing in The Herald last week. Bud Amburn wrote a story about a valuable diamond ring being stolen from Mrs. Mary C. Forehand. In the story as it appeared it said, “the ring was discovered missing from a jewelry case in a downtown bedroom." What should have been printed was a “downstairs" bed room, but a goofy typesetter changed “downstairs” to “downtown.” Anyway, Mrs. Forehand would like very much to get her ring back, and will pay a liberal reward for its return. o Little Luke Ambun has no doubt learned that the business world is a rough road to travel. Last week Luke wanted to earn a little extra money, so he asked his daddy if he could sell some Chowan Heralds. The little fellow was given 10 papers and after a while he came back to the office to setUe up—but he could count only 90 cents when he should have turned in SI.OO. He just couldn’t figure out how the shortage came about, but he made up his mind he’ll be a little more careful hereafter in making change—there’s some people who wouldn’t tell a little fellow that he had made a mis take in making change. o In the “Yellowed Pages” column this week it is reported that 20 years ago Mrs. F. F. Muth celebrated her 85th birthday by serving a sauer kraut dinner to all of her children. Which brings to mind the sauer kraut suppers her husband used to put on for some members of the local Masonic lodge. Here’s one who was a regular “cus tomer,” but could not eat nearly as much sauer kraut as Doc Whichard, Fermor Hobbs, Cam Byrum, Charlie Wood and a few others, who always looked forward to the annual affair. Which also brings to mind that after Mr. Muth died, his son, Frank, served a sauer kraut supper in the Panel Room of the Court House. In their eagerness to get the kraut from a plate to their mouth, some of the fellows dropped some of the stuff on the floor. A day cr two later some of the Edenton ladies hap pened to go to the Panel Room and saw the floor more or less messed up. Qf course, a howl went up—and that ended the sauer kraut suppers for the Masons in the Panel Room. o It’s a lot of pleasure fishing in the creeks hereabouts, but of late the bloomin' yellow flies just about keep a fellow from even riding out on the creek, let alone stopping to fish. Some say they will suddenly dis appear after the first heavy rain in July and some say it is in August. Well, if we need rain qr not, here’s hoping we have a real downpour in order to get rid of those devilish things. Besides, there’s about three or four yellow flies hanging around in our backyard. I don’t have to walk many steps from the back porch until the scudders flock around my head and taking a special delight to landing on the top of the dome—which is bare. o Now I have sort of an idea of what a farmer experiences when he has a crop failure. Purchasing S3O worth of Rocky Hock top soil, paying a fellow $5.00 to spread it out and make rows, paying for tomato plants, using some 8-8-8 fertilizer, putting up a wire fence to keep dogs out of my garden, not mentioning the labor in tieing up the tomato plants, pulling up weeds, etc., I had 19 beautiful tomato plants just full of blossoms and small to matoes, with visions of being able to pick tomatoes well on to frost. But something happened to kill all the optimism I had of having a good and long crop of tomatoes. The consam plants started to get yellow at the bottom and lost no time in wilting the whole way up the vine, so that now there’s some green tomatoes hanging on a dead vine—looks as though the garden was in the wake of a forest fiFe. As it is, what few tomatoes from the garden have been mighty darn expensive—about an average of two tomatoes to the plant. I’se regusted! o If all goes well, the Missus and I will spend next week at Kitty Hawk. Os course, we’ve never had any trouble with yellow flies down there—but from recent reports the consam fish are not doing any biting. A fellow just can’t win! o Preacher Earnhardt of the Methodist Church started a Bible study class Tuesday night, which was very interesting. Quite noticeable, however, was the fact that, be sides the preacher, there was only one man present. Well, maybe some of our men think they know enough about the Bible. Anyway, the class is for young and old, men and women, and Mr. Earnhardt hopes the attendance will increase. Workshop Slated The annual Northeastern District Craft Workshop will be held at East Carolina University August 6-8 and area citizens still have a chance to register for participation. Miss Edna Bishop, area crafts expert, said the workshop is a “wonderful op portunity to get basic information and instruction for doing a craft either as a hobby or as a home industry.” She pointed out that this is a leader tidpatiag will be to a** tHr i t- -a__ «-« -xt.— Knowledge with others.

Mrs. Hollowell, Route 1, Tyner, comes from a family that has always been ac tive in the Extension Homemaker Club program. She has always enjoyed con serving products at home for her family and friends. Mrs. Hollowell was approved in 1965 by the County Standards Committee to make watermelon rind pickles and pear preserves under the home industries label. She was so pleased with her pro gress that in 1967 she developed a new product, pumpkin conserve. She was al so approved for her very own special carrot relish. In addition to these prod ucts she is now approved for mixed pickle. Mrs. Hollowell has won many ribbons at the fair for her products. She has also sold products at the Craftsman’s Fair and the N. C.

Mr. Drane, 101 Colonial Square, was born August 1, 1890, in Edenton. He was raised here and first developed an interest in boatbuilding, wood carving, and carpentry from his father. He spent 10 years in Alaska as a missionary. Because of the remoteness of the area he had to do things for him self. He was rector of St. Paul’s Church in Monroe for 29 years. During this time he taught carpentry at Vacation Church School. Not just little craft items but lawn furniture, etc. During these years he had special classes for adolescent boys in hammock making, carpentry, and boat building. It channeled their energies into some thing useful. Had a camera club also. One of these boys has become a success ful contractor and attributes much of his success to Mr. Drane. since residing in juienton ne nas con centrated on boat building, cabinet mak ing, and hammock*. He taught his 2 i CL hi v ]Juhiic par uric Continued ftran Fare 1 Brown decision in this language: “It (the court) has not decided that the states must mix persons of different races in the schools or must require them to at tend schools or must deprive them of the right of choosing the schools they attend. What it has decided, and all that it has decided, is that a state may not deny to any person on account of race the right to attend any school that it maintains . .. Nothing in the Constitution or in the de cision of the Supreme Court takes away from the people the freedom to choose the schools they attend.” There is too much at stake for local officials to accept as gospel every com munication from Washington. Sure, there is a lot of money involved. But keep in mind, two-thirds of it wasn’t even avail able to the schools until three years ago. The local board is now in federal court. There are worse places to be. Justice is tempered with mercy and un derstanding—two words not in the vo cabulary of HEW. Health is something that is ap preciated by those who need it most. missiissi mm jrai L ' ■■ ■■■■■■ ■■■■l #s % ■ YOUTH CONCERT AT ROCKY HOCK—Th* Youth Touting Choir law Beptist Church will pretanl i concert, "Lot All Crootion Sing,” it Rocky Hock Baptist Church Sunday at 7:30 P.

LOCAL PLAN HELD Continued from Page 1 “terminal desegregation plan” which in cluded complete student and staff mixing in grades nine through 12 for the com ing school term. Further, it was re quested that the dual school system be abolished in 1969-70. The local board is currently making plans for building additional classrooms at John A. Holmes High School and upon their completion sufficient space would be available to house the high school students, the superintendent said. “Educationally it would not be wise to form one high school at this time,” Supt. Britt said. “It is physically possi ble. But educationally, no.” Dr. Severinson wrote: “Your board’s proposals appear to us to be inadequate to accomplish the purposes of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Ac cordingly, we are left no alternative oth er than to refer your administrative unit’s compliance file to our Washington office with a recommendation that administra tive enforcement procedures be initiated looking to termination of federal assist ance to your schools.” It is necessary for HEW to notify the local board by September 1 of a hearing on the compliance plan. The board has previously set a meet ing for July 22 but it is not known now whether this meeting will be held. The next regular meeting is August 5.
