Sheriff Goodwin died Tuesday after noon. He lost his fight with cancer. The loser, though, is his family and all who meander along the Public Parade. The amiable sheriff liked a good con test. This explains why he vowed to the time of unconsciousness that he would win the final test. He enjoyed a good bridge game, a good golf match, and all spectator sports.

Post Office here may force the closing of the parking lot to all but of ficial vehicles. Postmaster James M. Bond said an other effort will be made, beginning July 1, to create a flow of traffic in the lot suitable to handle all patrons. If this does not prove to be satisfactory, the lot probably will be closed. Beginning Monday, entrance to the parking lot will be from East Church Street and exit will be onto North Broad Street. This is a complete reversal of what is now in effect. Postmaster Bond said this new design is necessary because mail trucks enter and exit this way. He said patrons have become angry, in spite of signs posted on the lot, when the mail trucks entered as they attempt ed to exit. “The Post Office Depart ment built this lot primarily for these trucks to maneuver when bringing mail to this office,” he said. “The effort to control the traffic has not been satisfactory as there has been several near accidents between patrons and mail trucks . ”he states. “This brings us to the point of either putting a chain across the drive and allowing only mail trucks to enter or making all the traffic flow the same direction.” Postmaster Bond continued: “This Continued on Page Four All children have been screened by a dentist and plans are made for follow up treatment and care.

Department of Labor’s “Certificate of Safety Achievement” was awarded this week to six Chowan County industrial and service establishments in recognition of their excellent records in preventing accidents during the year 1968. The awards were presented to officials of the winning plants by Harry Tillett of Elizabeth City, Industrial Safety In spector for the Department of Labor m this county. Fourth Consecutive Year Ricks Laundry and Cleaners, Inc.

Existing local legislation provided that water and sewer assessments be made according to respective frontage on pro posed improvement. This was deter mined after the job had been com pleted. Now, the town can assess (1) equally against each lot capable of being served or (2) on basis of footage of land upon public street by equal rate per foot of frontage. It further provides that the governing body may annually determine between January and July the average cost of installing water and sewer lines and make assessments of average cost during the following fiscal year. Town officials say this will enable the property owner to know the exact amount of the assessment at the time the proposed project is requested. .'A m w Wt.

The special levy for rural fire pro tection outside the Town of Edenton re mains at five cents. The budget, according to Mrs. Pansy A. Elliott, county accountant, includes a 5 per cent pay increase for county em ployees. Elsewhere in today’s newspaper the budget is printed with a breakdown for each department.

In a statement he said: “I am proud to congratulate each of you, in behalf of Commissioner Frank Crane and your State Department of Labor, on your outstanding work in ac cident prevention during the year 1968,” Tillett said. “Your individual plant records are so good that they qualify you foi this'recognition from your state government. Collectively, also, the rec ord of the award-winning Chowan Coun ty plants is most impressive. Let’s look at it for a moment, in comparison with the accident experience of North Caro lina industry as a whole. “The six Chowan County plants re ceiving awards this week last year em ployed 752 people and worked 1,597,477 manhours. They sustained a total of only three disabling injuries, giving them a collective disabling injury frequency rate of just 1.9. “I am happy to point out that this very low rate is 86 per cent below the nationwide rate of 14.0 disabling injur ies per million manhours worked and that it is also 75 per cent below the North Carolina State average of 7.6. “If all of these Chowan County plants had operated during 1968 at the State wide disabling injury frequency rate for all industry ,9 more Chowan County em ployees would have been disabled during the year. Teacher Is Guilty An elementary school teacher was convicted of assault on a student Tues day when Judge W. S. Privott found she had abused her authority in disciplining the boy. Mrs. Naomi Tillett was the defendant. The jurist continued prayer for judg ment upon payment of costs. Notice of appeal was given and she was re leased without bond. In rendering his decision in the case in Chowan County District Court, Judge Privott made it clear that he believes in teachers maintaining proper discipline in the classroom. He added that he be lieves in the teacher’s right to corporal punishment. “In this case, however, there is an abuse of authority, I am afraid,” he said. Judge Privott said the medical testi mony alone was sufficient to convict. John R. Lewis, Jr., a student in Mrs. Tillett’s fourth grade at Swain Element ary School, was the victim of the punish ment. He testified Mrs. Tillett whipped him with a yardstick on June 3, the day before school closed. He admitted he hadn’t been a model student that day but felt the blows on his back were too harsh. The bruises on his back and arms were discovered later in the night when the boy’s mother was giving him a bath prior to putting him to bed. He was taken to Chowan Hospital where Dr. Richard Hardin examined him. Dr. Hardin said there were multiple CwtlnM « Pif* Few
