THURSDAY, APRIL 3. 1969. A~UFT FOR TODAY Thou shalt not raise a false report.— Exodus 23:1. Slander is a vice that strikes a double blow, wounding both him that commits and him against whom it is committed.— Saurin. Fill our hearts, O God, with love and kindness toward all men. A DECISION TO BE MADE Your help is needed to make the sec ond big decision to face this community in some time. On December 21, 1967, the people went to the polling places and decided by a greater than eight to one majority to approve a one million dollar bond issue to construct a new, 60-bed hospital. Obviously the majority felt very strongly that a modern hospital was worthy of sacrifice on their individual part, else the bond issue would not have passed. For 12 months following the bond election, a tremendous amount of re search, development, and planning took place. Approvals were received from all the certifying agencies and grants were made by the state and federal gov ernment, anticipating sufficient money to guarantee building our new hospital. When the bids were opened on March 6, 1969, everyone concerned found it difficult to understand and almost im possible to accept the fact the bids ex ceeded the available money by over $320,000. Much has been said about the causes for the building costs to have exceeded estimates. Many ideas have been proffered and all have been ex plored. It is a foregone conclusion that had the first bond issue been passed, we would not have the problem we do today. What good is it to look at the past? How can it help today or to morrow? Some people have expressed the thought that it is all over that there will be no new hospital that we can not expect the community to do any more than they already have. This need not be true. The goal of approximately $85,000 seems now to be within reach. Time is short. We must be able to assure The Duke Endowment we have attained this goal by Apirl 8, 1969. Now it is time for a decision to be made by the com munity. To make a wise decision, each reader of this article should have some of the facts: 1. Two foundations have been con tacted. Both have indicated a desire to be of ’ assistance one quite sub stantially. 2. The Medical Staff committed their support and have substantiated this with their personal pledges in a most gener ous manner. 3. The Belk Tyler Company made a SI,OOO contribution. 4. A fund raising committee is con tacting industries and other interested parties. 5. The County Commissioners have pledged their full support for the project to the hospital Board of Trustees and the community. They have agreed to “put their money where their mouth is.” They would like for you, the citizens of this community, to have a piece of the action. The Executive Director of one of the foundations contacted made the follow ing statement: “We are interested in your project and we plan to assist you, but it is necessary that your community be further involved and all local re sources be called upon to make your drive successful.” In making your decision to contribute and to decide the amount of your con tribution, you must consider if we need and want a modern medical complex that will include the following: 1. A post-operative recovery room 2. An Intensive and coronary care unit 3. More adequate operating suite 4. More adequate labor and delivery suite 5. More adequate X-ray department 6. More adequate laboratory facility 7. An emergency mite 8. Mem patient room facilities to pre vent over-crowding 9. Two-way voice communications be -10. More adequate parking facilities. These are but a few of the facts for Nr | Well, what for awhile appeared to be very little interest in the municipal elec tion on Tuesday. May 6, has developed into real competition, especially so far as Town Council scats to be filled is concerned. Aside from the Board of Public Works, there will be a contest for all the other po sitions to be filled. As the slate developed following the deadline to file, the contests include: George Alma Byrum, Roy Harrell and Henry G. Quinn vieing for the office of Mayor. Then for Councilman-at-large there are four candidates, Pete Dail. Alton Elmore, Richard Satterfield and Bill Collins. In the Fourth Ward Luther Parks was pres sured to again throw his hat in the ring and is opposed by O. F. Blair. In the Third Ward David White is seeking re-election and Ed Taylor is his opponent. The other office to be filled is Treasurer, in which James Bond is seeking re-election and has Mrs. Carolyn Ricks as his opponent. Well, there they are, folks. Look ’em over and then vote for the ones you think are best qualified for the position. Having served on Town Council ever since John Mitchener was the Mayor, here’s one who salutes him for the magnificent job he has done in steering the town since he was Mayor. He has made a lot of sacrifices in time and money for the town’s welfare and just about the most pro gress the town has made in recent years has been made during his administration. He’s leaving office and here’s one who’s saying that his shoes will be very diffi cult to fill. o The Methodist Men’s Club will sponsor their pickled herring breakfast Saturday ntoring from 7 to 9 o’clock. The “cooks” and “waitresses” will be ready to see to it that all who attend will get plenty to eat. It was very evident Monday that Dr. Richard Hardin doesn’t hang around the Court House very much when court is in session. But he was a witness in a case Monday and on several occasions addressed Solicitor Herbert Small as “Mr. Cohoon.’ Well, Walter Cohoon was in that same po sition before being elevated to judge. o And speaking about court, here’s one who is among the group of jurors. It’s one time I’m being punctual about being on duty, for if a fellow is late when his name is called, the judge will have “something” to say. However, Judge Joseph Parker was rather late in convening court Monday, but nary a person would ask him “why come?” But I’ll forgive him. for he was kind and considerate enough to excuse me from jury duty Tuesday afternoon and all day Wed nesday in order for me to do my little bit in getting out The Herald. o I hardly know what this world is coming to. It seems that men want to be girls and girls want to be men. I can hardly stom ach the long hair and bushy faces of a lot of men. and now I’ve seen some girls wear ing side burns just like men. Maybe a lot of us were born about 50 years too soon. o- The secret has leaked out. I’ve often wondered why Preacher Earnhardt thumbs back and forth in the Bible when he wants to read the Scripture lesson. The reason is that the chapters in his Bible are Roman numerals, and how many of us can read the bloomin’ things when they go beyond about XX? . "council steadfast Continued From Paqe 1 suitable. Returning to the 1963 talks, Durham added: “A commitment was made by some of the gentlemen still here and has not been lived up to.” Mayor Mitchener then said: “Time and ballots have eliminated all but Mr. Parks (Luther C.) and myself.” He defended the intent of the letter. Parks said the council has fulfilled its obligation. W. B. Gardner, town administrator, said when the annexation was devised, it was the intent to be fair with every one. “It is an ambitious program but one which should have been done piece meal.” He said although annexation would be effective July 1, 1969, no taxes would be due on this property until 1970. He said the combined tax rate of Edenton and Chowan County ranks 68th lowest in the state. Quinn said things have changed in the past few years requiring another look at annexation. Thomas Byrum of Byrum Implement Company said: “I’m not ready to come in.” He added that only when property north of his location is adequately de veloped should it be annexed. Byrum, a member of the Board of Public Works, admitted this board has encouraged the council over the years to extend the city limits. N. J. George, whose residence is to be annexed, said he offered no objec tion. In other business, councilmen approv ed beer permits for Colonial Motor Court and Jim Quain and set April 15 as the date to meet with representatives of Morgan Park concerning annexation. you to consider.

To make a signed pledge, it will be ne cessary for you to contact R. Graham White, Bffilding and fund raising com mittee chairman; Jesse L. Harrell, presi dent, board of trustees; or go to the hospital to the administrator’s office. 1 Continued from Paso 1 munity. It is now time to tie the knot on these two questions. They are big hur dles and ones which in the years to come will have proven vital to the town and county’s race for a better spot in his tory. Other hurdles loom in the distance. Let’s get over these and look anxiously to new ones. - From Behind The Bar Several interesting, unusual and hum orous things transpired during the open ing day of “big court” along the Public Parade this week. The calendar was lengthy and historic old Chowan County Court House needed a balcony to accom modate all who came out of necessity or curiosity. The tension was first broken when a defendant was called by Solicitor Her bert Small. When no answer came back, the solicitor asked Carter Jones of Ahos kie if he didn’t represent the defendant. “I represented him in lower court but he forgot me,” the attorney replied. There is nothing that makes a lawyer talk like money. Only moments later another defendant failed to answer to the solicitor’s call. Mrs. Lena M. Leary, court clerk, ad vised Judge Joseph Parker that the defendant was among nine new grand jury members chosen moments earlier to serve for 12 months on the panel. Judge Parker called for the grand jury. Having second thoughts, he call ed Deputy Troy Toppin back. “I dojj’t guess he will participate in voting on that bill (of indictment),” the jurist said of the defendant. DEFENDANT JAILED Continued From Page 1 ing any alcoholic beverage. Judge Park er instructed Deputy Sheriff Troy Top pin to render an opinion. The jurist himself moved closer to Lamb and again accused him of having an odor of alcoholic beverage on his breath. Lamb steadfastly denied drink ing anything. Judge Parker dictated an order find ing Lamb in contempt of court for ap pearing for trial in such a condition. He ordered Lamb to serve a 10-day jail sentence. The speeding case was continued until the next term of cqurL GRAND OPENING Continued From Page 1 The local sales force has been expand ed to accommodate the customers, he added.

POLITICAL POT BOILS Continued From Pago 1 political office, is employed at Peoples Bank & Trust Company, and is active in the BPW and is immediate past pres ident of Edenton Jaycettes.

White appointed to represent Prince. The cases were continued for the term. At press time a jury was considering the case where John Henry Allsbrook was charged with drunk driving and pos session of untaxed liquor. Action taken in other cases called by Solicitor Herbert Small included: Herbert Wilber Modlin, drunk driving, found not guilty by a jury.
