TWO DOWN, ONE TO GO
& Gov. Robert Scott and now Chancellor
1 John Caldwell, North Carolina State
| University, have spelled out in no un
-3 certain terms the limits within which
f student activists must operate.
.§ Both deserve the support and encour
| agement of law-abiding citizens across
the state; for their stand may well mark
the turning point in the long march to
i; the sea of chaos on the campuses of so
f many institutions of higher learning in
the state.
•jj: Speaking to a civic club down in Har
*j nett County during the gubernatorial
2 campaign last summer, Bob Scott re
£ minded the state that, despite his youth
| and liberal background, he was a law
}; and-order man, all the way.
| He repeated this stand in Salisbury, in
| Statesville and elsewhere in North Caro
lina; and, despite scathing criticism
from some of our liberal editors, he
never recanted.
This was perhaps the most important
issue in the election and it may well
have been decisive in his victory in No
vember. Anyway, he was elected gov
ernor despite the built-in qualms of
those who shudder at requiring all our
citizens, of whatever background, to
meet some standard of civic decency.
And, now, the governor, at a time
when he ought to be free to give un
divided attention to pushing his program
through the legislature, has been com
pelled to outline, once again, the limits
within which campus protest must be
cfcnfined.
He did it in no uncertain terms. In
a 13-point directive to law enforcement
officers and college administrators, he
told them not to hesitate in putting
down lawlessness on the campuses.
Chancellor Caldwell followed through
with a convocation of students and facul
ty on the Raleigh campus of the univer
sity. He received a standing ovation
after calling for “action, unity and sani
ty” in resolving student grievances.
He termed intolerable any student ac
tion carried out in such a fashion “as to
trample on anyone else’s rights or to
disrupt or destroy the functioning of
the university.”
And he reminded the faculty that
“academic freedom is not license to de
stroy or damage the community which
defends that freedom.” He promised
to institute steps to discharge any faculty
member who obstructs the use. of any
campus building.
“Student militants hear me,” he said.
“Stop being so disgustingly self
righteous.”
Meanwhile, over on the university
campus at Chapel Hill, student activists
have taken up the cudgel for striking
cafeteria workers and, at one point, en
tered the building to upset chairs and
tables and drive others from the dining
. hall.
And, yet, university administrators
j continue to equivocate, negotiate and
{ explain. And the great majority of the
• students there for the basic purpose of
■ getting an education, must sink or swim
; with the tide.
| What is needed at Chapel HUI is
| what happened at Raftigh.
j Chancellor J. C. Sitterson needs to pre
: scribe, once and for all, the limits within
j which these dissenters must operate and
j then clear the campus of all those, stu
dents or faculty, who overstep the
bounds.
Could it 'be that our great universities
•o cherish the “liberal” image they have
cultivated so assiduously for the past
three decades that they are afraid to
tarnish it by telling the troublemakers
who is running the story?
And, while we are asking questions,
! we want to know how it is that such
' mob-experts as Howard Fuller can al
ways be invited to preach chaos from
the front steps of the institution they
are seeking to destroy?
Or, better still, how can they always
manage to remain on the government pay
roil, state or national, while carrying out
these activities? Does nobody have au
. thority to fire anybody any more?

Though this old world is in a terrible
mess, with men at each other’s throats,
people being robbed, assaulted and mur
dered and many apparently not satisfied
with hardly anything, Jack McMullan, now
in the twilight of his earthly existence,
sees a lot of good in the world, and espe
cially here in Edenton. To verify that
statement, iiere is a brief note sent to me
this week by Friend Jack:
Dear Buff: The Bible proclaimed a first
“Good Neighbor” policy in saying: “Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart and with all thy soul and thy neigh
bor as thyself.”
Ever since nations, states and communi
ties have, in degree, followed this noble
concept.
I can appreciate what it means to be the
beneficiary of such a policy because in re
tirement my home is surrounded by a num
ber of good neighbors, the Tom Wood, the
William Wells, the Tom Jackson, the Elvin
Spivey, the Carey Bunch families and Mrs.
Will Baker, whose ladies have been to me
all that the heart could desire, for during
the calendar year they catered to my sweet
tooth by presenting me with the most de
licious goodies, pies, cakes, and salads ex
ceeding 54 in number.
All of which melted my hard heart and
inspired me to present to them and my
other friends as many as 52 buckets of
pears and apples raised in my orchard.
1 am convinced that it is truly “more
blessed to give than to receive.”
Then another letter was not so compli
mentary. It came from Mrs. Margaret E.
Stiftler, who lives at Johnstown, Pa. Said
Mrs. Stiffler:
“Dear Buff: I don’t like to complain,
but the service I’ve been getting since you
sold the paper makes me sick. I haven’t
had a Herald in three weeks—and I’m paid
until July. The last one I got was torn
in half horizontally, so I had to tape it
together to read it. I’ll bet the boys in
Vietnam get their papers in less time than
it takes me to get mine. A few years back
I always got my paper on Friday, never
later than Saturday. I don’t figure what’s
wrong—but it better soon start to arrive
in better condition and a little earlier or
come July I’ll just forget it. I’m more than
a little disgusted to say the least. My best
regards to you and Kate."
Well, all I can say is that the change in
ownership of The Herald has, in itself,
nothing to do with subscribers getting their
paper. A copy is mailed out every week
to subscribers, so that most of the blame
for late delivery and messed up papers
can, no doubt, be charged to Uncle Sam’s
mail carriers. Anyway, we're sorry to get
this complaint and we’ll check to see if
the paper doesn’t leave The Herald office
in satisfactory condition.
• O
Os course, with the continued cold
weather we’ve been having, a lot of people
have suffered from colds. And, as usual,
all kinds of would-be remedies are used
to get rid of the nuisance. One lady the
other day bought some smelling salts to
sniff at when she felt a little stuffy. She
happened to go in one of the local stores,
where the “boss man” said he keeps some
in his desk all the time. “What do you
use it for?” asked the lady. “You never
have a cold, or do you use it on a cus
tomer after you tell the price of some of
your merchandise?”
O
Local Baptists are a very loyal group
especially when revival services are in pro
gress, so that Monday night’s service play
ed havoc for the Red Men’s meeting, for
every bloomin’ Red Men Baptist attended
the service, which left precious few for a
Red Men meeting. On that account here’s
one who attended the AA meeting held at
the Methodist Church, where a woman alco
holic uncorked an address which was as
full of religion and Christian principles as
just about any evangelistic sermon. No
body has to be an alcoholic to attend these
meetings and, like an evangelistic meeting,
if only one soul is saved, it is worthwhile,
so it is with an AA meeting if only one
person is rescued from the effects of al
coholism—he is much nearer to being a
Christian and with the help and cooperation
of friends—and his dependence on God for
help—he usually wins the battle.

“The Restless Ones,” a wonderful pic
ture for young people and adults alike,

Farmers To Meet
A pork and egg marketing referendum
will be held in Chowan County on
March 26, according to Curtis Forehand,
chairman.
Polling places will be set up at Leary
Bros. Storage Company, W. E. Smith’s
Store, M&R Service Center, Byrum Ser
vice Center, Valhalla Produce and Mor
ris & Hinton Service Station.
Pork producers will be voting to con
tinue a five cents per head assessment
on hogs sold for slaughter. This assess
ment program is a result of requests by
swine producers who wanted a self-help
program. -
The N. C. Pork Producers Associa
tion is officially designated as the repre
sentative commodity group. All monies
collected is used for promotional, educa
tional and research programs approved
by the board of directors.
All farmers who sell hogs for slaugh
ter and all other persons who receive
income from such sales may vote in the
pork assessment program.
Egg producers will be voting to con
tinue a two cents per case egg promo
tion assessment. The money collected is
used for promoting North Carolina egg*
in advertising and consumer education
programs.
All producers of eggs, including hatch
ing egg producers, may vote in the egg
referendum.

support by individual contributions—as
well as collective support—this effort, if
it becomes necessary.
_ “The medical staff fully understands
the very important service and the great
present need, that our proposed new hos
pital can provide to our community.”
This is the spirit which has made
Edenton and Chowan County the hub
cf the Albemarle and the pace setter of
Northeastern North Carolina.
One of our most glaring deficits is in
the general field of medical facilities.
This will be erased when the new hos
pital is built. And it MUST be built.
And it WILL be built. And it will stand
as a shrine for no one individual, or
group of individuals, but for all those
who will proudly call its name—Chowan.
PARKING LOT, DOGS
Continued From Page 1
be deferred until July when the finance
committee takes a look at all requests.
“I am opposed to more off-street
parking for the merchants at this time,”
Elliott said.
When the vote was taken, Quinn, W.
H. Hollowell and David G. White voted
for the motion; Elliott and Katkaveck
voted against it, and Luther C. Parks
abstained from voting.
When the dog ordinance came up the
following developed:
Logan Elliott said he “came down to
talk for the dogs.”
Attorney John Graham put in a word
for children.
Former Councilman Thomas Shepard
called for enforcement of the ordinance
concerning garbage cans.
Others spoke for all three.
When the smoke had cleared council
men voted to require dogs be kept on
the owners’ property from 10 P. M.,
to 7 A. M., and not be allowed in the
fire district at anytime unless under con
trol of the owner.
Council also passed a resolution which
allows Edenton Housing Authority to
make application for SO low-rent public
housing units under the leased program.
Also, councilmen reaffirmed their sup
port of a US 17 bypass of Edenton and
set a hearing on the major thoroughfare
plan for April 8.
Gardner said he was gratified at the
reception his suggested annexation pro
posal had received from property owners
to be affected. He said a map of the
proposed new town limits should be
completed within a week.
The Municipal Election was called
for May 6 and insurance bids will be
awarded March 20.
Elliott reported that the town could
get SO per cent federal participation in
the purchase of the Waff property. He
said it could probably also be obtained
in the purchase of the Byrum property.
Price of the Waff site is $32,000 and the
Byrum site, $30,000.
Gardner said the town would have to
have its share of the money at the time
the grant was received.
