THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1969, PASSION FOR PEACE The three tenets of the UN Charter which held the greatest appeal and extended the greatest hope to the free world were: “To maintain international peace and ' security . . . suppression of acts of aggression ... the principle of ; equal rights and self-determina tion of peoples.” The record is that the UN has •failed miserably in the first of these aims. And after 23 years, | the UN has not been able even :to define aggression; nor will it ; be able to do so as long as the . Soviet Union holds a veto. On no jless than 105 separate occasions, actions desired and desirable to y the free world, were denied by : use of the Soviet veto in the Se curity Council. Times without : number similar measures conso nant with the provisions of the Charter were not even submitted because of the certainty of a Sov iet veto. Self-determination of peoples went out the window early when the USSR violated the promises made at Yalta and refused free elections in any of the States of Eastern Europe. When the USSR attacked tiny Finland without cause in 1939, it was expelled from the League of Nations. No such action was suggested when the Soviets crushed the uprising of the Hungarian Freedom Fight ers twelve years ago. Nor has anything been done about the re cent rape of Czechoslovakia. But there are areas of the world where peace is precious to the UN. The General Assembly has just passed a resolution call ing on Great Britain to use force to topple the Rhodesian govern ment, headed by lan Smith. And it has proposed extension of UN sanctions to Portugal and South Africa. Calling upon Britain to use force against Rhodesia is a strange way of fostering “inter national peace and security.” Equally strange is the language of the resolution which (and this is verbatim), “notes with appre ciation the offers by Zambia and the Demoratic Republic of the Congo to make available their territories and air space for this purpose ; ” —the purpose being the implementation of force. The United States voted against the resolution, but it carried, 89 to 9. U Thant has been all wrought up over the Vietnam war, where Communist aggression is being resisted. He wants that one stopped. But he can’t wait to get at Rhodesia. Deadline Nearing Many Chowan County citizens have not listed their property for taxes and the deadline for doing so is February 3, says Sherlon Layton, tax supervisor.. Layton this week said the 10 per cent penalty will go into effect on Tuesday. The tax supervisor said tax listing this year is “obviously running behind” prior years. He urged property owners to visit their respective lister immediately to avoid paying a penalty. GARDNER NAMED CwiUmwJ from Pago 1 quet meeting held at the Jaycee Com munity Building on Base Road. Thirteen of the 20 past presidents and M 10 of the IS past DSA winners were in T attendance. I Chaplain Junius Britton gave the in |f vocation; Wayne Ashley and Albert r Ward recognized special guests; and J * John Becker provided entertainment. ydeard &.Seen I Bufr H In a brief note from Mrs. Jim Jenkins, now living in Asheboro, she says: “We’re pretty well settled here, but we miss the folks in Edenton very much. We look forward every week to The Chowan Her ald to keep up, and don’t want to miss a single issue. Keep up the good work.” o Then another brief letter was sent by Mrs. Adelaide T. Chesson, who lives at Hamden, Conn. “My aunt, Miss Elizabeth Wozelka, of Washington, D. C.,” she said, “has left Washington and is now making her home with us.” Many Edentonians will remen ber Miss Elizabeth, who for many years was a big gun in the John C. Bond Hardware Store here. Later she ac cepted a government position in the na tion’s capital and now has moved further north to Connecticut. What strikes me is that one seldom hears of anyone from these parts retiring and going north to live. Bat here’s betting a good stoogie Miss Elizabeth will be happy to be with the Grady Chessons. o The Kitty Hawk section on Sunday took on the appearance of one of the summer vacation days. The highways were lined with cars and in at least one of the res taurants a waiting line formed just like in the middle cf the summer. It wasn’t espe cially warm weather that attracted so many to the beach over the weekend, but the major attraction was the big grounded vessel just off Southern Shores. Aside from a few times my skiff got caught on a stump, it was the first time I’ve witnessed a grounded vessel which is over 400 feet long, and from a distance appeared to be resting on the beach. And with all the efforts put forth to get the vessel into deep water, it may be that the boat will be a victim of the “graveyard of the At lantic.” It may be unfortunate for the owners of the boat, but one of the resi dents of the area said it would be good for business during the part of the year if a boat grounded every winter. o Raymond Everett, now living in Louis ville, Ky., saw in The Herald that barbers in Edenton have increased the price of hair cuts from $1.25 to $1.50. Said Ray mond in a brief note: “Be thankful and grateful. Here babies and bald heads both pay $2.50 for hair cuts. Better not pub lish this note, for it might give the bar bers ideas.” o Members of the Methodist Men’s Club will put on another pickled herring break fast Saturday morning. The meal will be served from 7 to 9 o’clock and, as usual, the “waitresses’’ will see to it that every body who attends gets a belly full. o A group of Edenton couples spent the weekend at one of the prominent motels at Nags Head—with the weekend costing just about as much as a day would cost during the summer season. Os course, it was not exactly fishing weather, so some of the men went out to play golf. But they might as well have gone fishing on the golf course, for one of the local fellows lost nine golf balls in the puddles of water on the course. They might have fished for golf balls. o Just a reminder that precious little more time remains to list property for taxes — unless a penalty is desired. Property must be listed during January, and if you look on the calendar, January is just about at the end. Then, too, 1969 automobile li cense plates must be displayed before Feb ruary 15, and there’s not many days be fore the deadline arrives. Better display your tags rather than have an argument with a highway patrolman and a judge. o According to what one reads, it is hard to determine whether Lloyd M. Bucher, commanding officer of the USS Pueblo, captured by the North Koreans, received much worse treatment by his captors than he is receiving in the good old USA. He did what he thought was right and here’s cne who wonders what the “top brass” who are trying him would have done had they been in the same situation. - ——— / m urn m , mm. Gains i. Reported A 23 per cent increase in sales by United Piece Dye Works in 1968 was reported recently by Harold Welburn, chief executive officer. Welburn told members of the board of directors that sales in 1968 were $25,672,000 as compared to $20,832,785 in 1967. Net income of UPDW after provis ions for federal income and surtax was estimated at about $1,544,000, approxi mately 70 per cent higher than net in come after federal income taxes for 1967. UPDW has a huge operation on Cho wan River, 12 miles north of Edenton. Economy is the axe to be applied to the other fellow’s expenditures. The study of conflicting opinion is necessary to the discovery of truth. The successful man has the ability to make himself, as well as others work. A one-track mind is not a handicap if you are on the right track. The Public Parade Continued From Page 1 passed, would bring in $36,000 less, or $116,000. It is believed that the Town of Eden ton’s share of the $152,000 would be more than $40,000. It doesn’t take a sharp pencil to figure this to equal a 40 cent increase in the town’s tax rate. A municipality can increase local tax es 10 to 15 per cent and justify it to the satisfaction of the citizenry. It would take the best from Madison Avenue to convince those who put the ballots in the box and the money in the treasury that a 40 per cent increase is necessary. Local property taxes, by necessity must be increased. The local share of a statewide sales tax increase would be one way of helping the hurt. . Unemployment During the month of December, un employment rose slightly in the local area due to weather conditions affecting most outdoor work. According to Neil E. Thagard, mana ger of the Edenton Employment Se curity Commission Office, the average weekly rate of insured unemployment was 3.2 per cent as compared with 2.9 per cent in November. During the month 87 persons registered for work with the local office, and 150 persons were referred for interviews for jobs which resulted in 108 job placements. At the end of the month only 19 job openings remained unfilled. This small number of unfilled job openings Is the result of local employers being willing to train the unskilled and their coopera tion in training the disadvantaged to be come gainfully employed. There is still a need for qualified ap plicants in many areas of work. If you are in need of assistance in finding a job you are encouraged to apply in per son at 709 North Broad Street to regis ter for work. Employers needing assistance in find ing qualified workers and trainees call the Edenton Employment Security Com mission Office. Garrett Alternate Matthew Garrett, Route 1, Edenton, was named one of two alternate finalists from District I in competition for 1969 Morehead Awards to study at the Uni versity of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Garrett, son of Rev. and Mrs. Mere dith Garrett, is a senior at Chowan High School. lie was selected from a field of 19 nominees from 15 of the 19 counties comprising District I following inter views in Williamston last week. There were six finalists and two al ternates chosen. Earnings Increase Net operating earnings for First Na tional of Eastern North Carolina jumped 22 per cent during 1968 over the pre ceding year, it was revealed at a heavily attended annual stockholders meeting at the bank’s headquarters in Jacksonville. The total increase was from $538,140 in 1967 to $659,008 in the year just ended. The operating earnings per share of common stock was $3.03 as opposed to $2.47 the preceding year. Total assets also increased slightly more than 20 per cent, ending the year with a record $91,442,325 as compared with $75,918,289 the previous year. In a colorful 16-page annual report distributed at the meeting, a letter from President M. F. Allen, Jr., reported that the year was “the fastest-moving . . . and the most productive of any period yet in our short 16-year history.” This was due largely to the fact that nine departments were either added or greatly expanded during the year. Also some 100 new employees were recruited into the First National system. It also was projected that the coming year would surpass last year’s record accomplishments.
