THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1969. Town Council In Lengthy Meeting Edenton Town Council will take a second look at life insurance for munici pal employees and a committee will study the need for a stricter dog ordinance. These two items were among those discussed Tuesday night during a lengthy regular session of the council. The council has received several bids on the insurance program but each com pany bid differently and the bids were studied by Councilmen Luther C. Parks and W. Herbert Hollowell. They rec ommended that new specifications be written and new bids asked. Councilmen discussed pros and cons of every aspect of the program before instructing W. B. Gardner, town ad ministrator, to draw the specifications. Councilman J. D. Elliott called for a review of the present dog ordinance. He stated in many areas dogs are a prob lem. It was pointed out during the dis cussion that the present ordinance is sufficient unless the council wants to require dogs to be penned up or kept on a leash. Mayor John A. Mitchener, Jr., ap pointed Elliott and Leo Katkaveck to a committee to study the problem and make a recommendation to the council at a later meeting. Mayor Mitchener publicly commended the Edenton Police Department for work during the past few days which in cluded apprehension of two suspected safecrackers and recovery of $4,000 in stolen merchandise from Norfolk, Va., stores. The policemen who participated in these investigations were at the meeting with Chief J. D. Parrish. Chief Parrish briefly explained how the work was done. Council passed a resolution joining Edenton police with other law enforce ment agencies in an association, jj Taxi franchises were renewed. Also, ordered the posting of all town • property to prohibit hunting, especially waterfowl on the base property. Economic Improvement Council was authorized to use the remainder of the airport tower building and the public works building has been rented to Sea brook Blanching Corporation. Offstreet parking was discussed with the decision being made to again contact the owners of the Hobowsky property on West King Street concerning a purchase. It was believed that this should be given priority over the Wall property on Albe marle Sound. Council will ask State Highway Com mission to add Hicks Street, from Broad to Granville streets, to the state system and construct an extension to this street into the new Chowan Hospital site as well as an entrance from Highway 32. Also, the commission will be asked to consider reducing the speed limit on a portion of West Queen Street. BOARD ASKS Continued From Png* 1 afternoon,” he pointed out. Supt. Bill Britt said the board could borrow'slß,ooo from the State Literary Fund. Dr. A. F. Downum suggested that this be done and that the county be asked to make up the difference. Supt. Britt said the library ai Holmes school is needed worse than the cafeteria. He said also that there would be money available to build two additional class rooms at Holmes. This set off a lively discussion. Frank Williams said he felt the cafe teria is needed and that the balance of the available money could be used to “upgrade what we have”. It was pointed out that leaving out the library would necessitate complete re design of the Holmes project. George suggested, and later made the motion, to go to the county for all the money needed. Dr. Downum seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. In addition to Dr. Bond, George, Wil liams and Dr. Downum, members pres ent were Eugene Jordan, R~ West Leary, and Mrs. J. Clarence Leary. \J4eard &Seen “By Buff My friend, DeWitt Cooper, writes from Richmond, Ind., that he arrived home safe ly after a trip to the eastern part of the country, which included a short visit in Edenton. “Coop” is very fond of oysters, and especially on the half shell. Every place he visited in the east he ate oysters on the half shell, if he could get ’em, but one thing puzzled him. He wondered why they were so very expensive when, he said, “You don’t even eat the shells.” Which reminds me that the other day Mrs. Myrtle Tynch over at the T St T Fish Mar ket told me they had just received a fresh batch of oysters in the shells. When I asked her the price of the things I was so surprised that I asked her how much she would charge just to take a look at ’em. *o I see by this week’s Herald that some of the barber shops in Edenton will increase the price of hair cuts from $1.25 to $1.50, to go into effect Monday, January 20. They have us where the hair is short, for, unlike a lot of other things, a fellow cannot stock up several hair cuts before the new price goes into effect. Then, too, what I object to is that they charge the same price for a fellow who has a scant crop of hair. o Tom Reid, embalmer at Williford Fun eral Home, became a pappy again Saturday afternoon when his wife presented him a baby daughter. The newcomer, Teresa Annette, arrived in Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City weighing seven pounds, seven and one-half ounces. Not being a resident of Edenton so very long, some of his fellow workers advised him that cigars were in order. Well, he complied with the “order” so that some of his' friends are enjoying a smoke on him. Congratulations, Tom, on helping to increase Edenton’s population. o For about a week now the Bufflap home has been a lively place with two little grandchildren, a nurse and a dog added. But the whole she-bang is scheduled to leave for New York City next Tuesday, after which the house will seem more like a morgue than anything else. The nurse, Mrs. Phyllis John, is an English lady and having been here only several days, she has taken a distinct liking to Edenton, which makes her visit more pleasant for her and her hosts. It is such a pleasure when having visitors to have them express a liking for our little town. It’s not al ways the case, however, for there are those who prefer a big city to a quiet and beautiful little town. o Fishing? Well, who in the dickens can go fishing when the creeks and even the edge of Albemarle Sound has been cov ered with ice for several days now? Even the sea gulls have been having a big time parked on the ice. Then Tom Jackson said Pembroke Creek back of his house was frozen over, but the other afternoon it appeared as though the ice was break ing up. “Must be the speckled perch mov ing around,” said Tom, and in that case he’ll no doubt have a lot of company when a fellow can get there. Anyway, with the weather so cold for so long, maybe the weather forecasters could save a little en ergy by playing a record “continued fair and cold.” o And what could be more aggravating than to have a heating system go on the fritz during this cold spell? Well, that’s exactly what happened at 104 East Church Street last Saturday. But, thanks to Ver non Dozier, Mr. Shumaker and Buck Wheeler, the cranky heating system was going full blast by about 10 o’clock Sat urday night, after messing with it about the whole day. But such occasions only bring to mind the days when we didn’t have all the conveniences such as we have today. Maybe we’re getting a little “soft.” ALDRIDGE SPEAKER Continued From Page 1 the Jaycees and recognize the value of the organization. The local DSA winner will be entered in the state contest, which chooses the 10 outstanding young men in the state. Those winners will in turn be entered in the U. S. Jaycees competition to deter mine America’s 10 outstanding young men. Wallace Evans, currently serving as Jaycee president, won the award last year. Mayor John A. Mitchener, Jr., has set aside the week of January 19-25 to observe the founding of the Jaycees and to commemorate such founding by the selection of an outstanding young man in this community as the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award. Mayor Mitchener said the organiza tion has contributed materially to the betterment of this community through the years. He said the purpose of the week is to focus attention on young men and the work they are doing, and emphasize that the Edenton Jaycees have done an out standing job in many fields. SPEDIC MOVES CootfntMd from Pag* I Jones serves on the Automatic Service board of directors. Spedic was founded in December, 1955, to serve military installations in the area. At that time it was a one-man operation. Now the firm has 15 em ployees and serves locations in 10 coun ties. The firm serves industry, institutions, and commercial locations, where traffic warrants vending. Jones has issued a cordial invitation for friends and customers of Spedic to visit the new facilities. CL lie Public Parade Continued From Pag* 1 was founded to serve military installa tions in the Albemarle Area. Before the horse got securely hitched to the cart the installation was closed and the need for such vending nil. But that didn’t phase the Spedic folks. They pushed and shoved and today have 15 employees and serve 10 counties. Moreover, the firm is now a division of one of the finest names in vending, Auto matic Service Company of Jacksonville. Dickerson, headquartered in Monroe, has an equally impressive story to tell. From an obscure beginning it has grown into a giant in the building industry. Now it stands right near the top of all Tar Heel contractors and among the most respected in the nation. There should be a message in the move of Dickerson’s area office to Edenton from Ahoskie. They wanted to get over here where the action is. And Johnny Brantly vows that Dickerson will become a community leader, putting back many times over what it takes. It is learned from a most reliable source that other expansions and addi tions to the business and industry phase of our community will be forthcoming in the very near future. They are just as exciting as anything that has gone on in the past. Meanwhile while we wait and hope, we want to pause here to doff our lids to Spedic and Dickerson. They both have shown faith in the future of our area. And the signs ARE good. Stolen Clothing The suspicion of a downtown merch ant last week led to the discovery here of stolen clothing valued at more than $4,000. Police Chief J. D. Parrish said the investigation of this case is being pushed throughout Northeast North Carolina and the Norfolk area. The loot, recovered from a local motel room, consisted primarily of men’s suits, ranging in value from $65 to $125. Two pieces of equipment used by shoplifters were also found in the room. A local merchant notified police of a suspicious looking team in town. They were followed by Sgt. Melvin Griffin who later stopped them for a routine check. The team later left Edenton in a ear with New York license plates. Two oth ers were suspected and they fled via taxi to Hertford where they purchased bus tickets to New York. After keeping an eye on the motel room, officers later entered and found the stolen articles. This is the second time in little more than a month that local police have con fiscated stolen merchandise. No arrests have been made. DICKERSON MOVES Continued From Pag* 1 The area served by the Edenton office is from Goldsboro, east. Under normal operations more than 300 people are em ployed in this area. Johnny Brantley, area superintendent, has moved to Edenton from Elm City. He stated that at least 10 other fami lies of key personnel will be re-locating in the Edenton area in the near future. Brantley has been with Dickerson for nine years. He is married and the father of two children. The Brantleys are liv ing on U. S. 17 South. The Diplomatic Pouch Consular Convention Would your office have a copy of the agreement between the Soviet Union and the' United States? This agreement is called the “Reciprocal Agreement.” Ques tions: What are the contents of this agree ment? How were the United States and USSR able to work this agreement out? Who were the persons who signed the agreement? What year was the agree ment signed? If you can answer my four questions it would be of some help to me. B. B. D., Nashville, Tenn. Dear B. B. D.: The Consular Convention between the United States and the USSR was approv ed by the United States Senate on March 16, 1967, and ratified by the Soviet parlia ment on March 26, 1968. The instruments of ratification were exchanged in a cere mony at the White House on June 13, 1968. At that time, Secretary of State Rusk, for the United States, and Ambassador Ana toli F. Dobrynin, for the Soviet Union, signed a protocol of exchange or ratifica tions. The convention entered into force on July 13, 1968, one month after exchange of ratifications. I am enclosing a copy of the Consular Convention for your information. The con vention is similar to bilateral consular agreements in force between the United States and a greet number of foreign countries which protect the interests of American tourists and businessmen travel ling in foreign countries in return for sim ilar guarantees with regard to foreigners visiting the United States. The convention was drawn up during protracted negotia tions between the United States and the Soviet Union. w j L 1 JnraflH I i LHjl I J I j I I SIO.OO REWARD Far -return of brown Nu tria fur hat with a label from Best 6c Co.
