Inglis In New Post The second reorganization of the year for Edenton Construction Company, Inc., has seen D. Ross Inglis named pres ident of the general contracting firm. The corporation’s two top executives, Reece Pickier and Donald Faircloth, have died in the past nine months. The firm reorganized after Pickler’s death in January, placing Faircloth in the presidency. His death last week brought on other changes. D. F. Faircloth was elected vice presi dent and Miss Inez Norris, secretary treasurer. W. Clarence Bass was named a director. Bass has become a stock holder. Inglis said three key employees have been promoted to positions of job super intendents. They are Bass, Kermit Lay ton and Bill Sawyer. Combined they have more -than 70 years of service with the firm. The firm will continue to operate un der the general contracting license ob tained by Inglis. The license are in the unlimited classification. • Inglis said the firm now has more than $250,000 in contracts underway and they will be completed as previously planned. ‘Prospects for the future are mighty good,” he stated. COUNTY SAYS Continued From Pig* 1 primary complaint, he said, was the ex tent to which lumber was used in con struction. He said a sprinkler system in the attic would relieve much of the dan ger. Commissioners agreed this is needed not only for protection of the prisoners but for the historic building, believed to be the oldest jail in America still in continuous use. Commissioners turned over to Mrs. Earl Goodwin, tax collector, tax notices for 1969. The board also passed a mo tion instructing the collector to send garnishee notices to people under cover ed employment as soon after the tax is delinquent as possible. A 50 cent fee was also approved for gaminl^ The board also assumed responsibility of the cost of legal services and the sale of hospital bonds, in excess of $5,700 A request by Town of Edenton for resolutions placing sections of Oakum and Granville streets on the state system was approved. Murray Ashley reporting for the Edenton-Cbowan Rescue Squid, said 26 calls Were answered during September at an expense of $360.13. Jailer Glenn Perry reported 39 pris oners in jail from one to 30 days at a cost of $437.40. vA JJeard &Seen fSL “By But Early this week the following letter was received from James Leary: Dear Mr. Buff lap: I feel that in justice to myself I should answer public charges published in The Chowan Herald last week. I am very sorry about Mary. I sympathize with her, and I don’t think she ought to stay in that house alone. She will be afraid after this attack. She will be worried, and I don’t think it will be good for her to stay there alone. If she doesn’t move out, and I know she wouldn’t like doing that, then I think she ought at least have someone stay there with her. Ido not think it is good for any girl or lady to live in a house alone like that and especially is it bad to be there alone at night. About myself, I was over there in the morning and about supper time, but I did, not go back after that. When I came home that Saturday morn ing _ 1 found my house had been entered. The refrigerator had been cut off—every thing spoiled, including some ice cream. The television would not work; also the record player would not work. The little Zenith radio had been turned on and left turned on. The batteries were run down. Also the overcoat I liked most was missing as well as a pair of boots and a quantity of peaches had been taken. Also a ham mer was missing. It surely 1 ooks like someone had it in for me. I believe Mary will get along all right. But I surely do wish she would not live there alone. By the way, someone flashed their headlights on us while on the porch and kept them on us for about five minutes. I hope that things will adjust themselves and that Mary will get all right. I am in my 70th year of age, and I was certainly given credit for a lot of activity for my age. Sincerely yours, JAMES W. LEARY. o Two large bus loads of Rhode Island tourists passed through Edenton Monday about noon. That they must have enjoyed their ride down Broad Street was reflected in the fact that many on the busses waved their hands while passing through. Don’t know if they were shown about town or not. o Going to the Red Men meeting Monday night, I happened to get right behind all of Edenton’s fire trucks through the busi ness section. Thought I’d see a big fire, but later was told that the local firemen were observing Fire Prevention Week. o There's a noticeable void next to Peoples Bank Sc Trust Company, for Edenton’s old Municipal Building has been torn down and all the mess removed by Waff Broth ers. The building was not what could be classed as very historical, but it has been there since many present Edentonians came upon the scene. At any rate, a group of former Edenton Town Councilmen will re member that many a long hour was spent in that building, even into the wee sma’ hours on a number of occasions. It was Eden ton’s first municipal building and then, too, the building formerly housed the Police and Fire Departments. And now with the build ing gone, the next move will, no doubt, be up to Peoples Bank Sc Trust Company to take some action in prettying up the side of their bu:lding, for the boarded-up win dows do not make for a very sightly ap pearance. o Another big fish fry is in the offing, for Edenton Chapter of the Order of the East ern Star plans to hold such an event Sat urday, October 18, from 11 A. M. to 7 P. M. The fish fry will be held beside the Boy Scout cabin and the Eastern Stars are hop ing many people will patronize them. The proceeds will go to the Masonic and Eastern Star Home at Greensboro, and it may be interesting to know that a former Edenton woman is now a guest at the home. o Just about the proudest person in Eden ton early this week was Mrs. Irma Alls 'brook. She became a grandmother again on Friday, when her daughter, Mrs. Archie Hughes, gave birth to a second daughter. Irma was toting the newcomer around for people to see. Anyway, it’’s about time for Grandpappy Allsbrook to shell out a few cigars. Aces At Home What is believed to have been the larg est crowd ever to witness an athletic event on Hicks Field witnessed North eastern’s Eagles defeat Edenton Aces 44-0 Friday night. Estimates of the crowd ranged up to 4,500 . Additional bleachers had been erected on the field and people were standing three deep in other areas. The Aces were never a threat to the unbeaten Eagles, now a 3-A team which steps up to 4-A next year. With 24 seniors on the squad, Coach Dick Kemp was able to score almost at will during three quarters. It was the first game of the season for his regulars to see so much action. Edenton remained game throughout the contest. However, the power plays of the Eagles, with big backs running over more tacklers than around them, completely demoralized the Aces. Northampton comes to Hicks Field Friday night and Coach Marion Kirby hopes his Aces can continue undefeated in their 2-A Albemarle Conference. Northampton is coached by David Hol ton, a former Edenton star. Coach Kirby surprised everyone Fri day when he picked Earl Chesson to direct the team at quarterback. Fred Keeter had called the signals all Gigi Leary ran well but Edenton could never put together enough good plays to threaten. Leary hurt his knee in the game but is expected to be near fuD speed Friday. / Y- T i | ♦ Y 7 i I*l unite arani I) 2. Continued From Pig* 1 to play. This was the beginning of an organiz ed community. Their efforts were fur ther aided by Edenton Cotton Mill. The mill donated a house and $250. It was moved to the site and renovations be gun. The community moved from their own living rooms into one for everyone. Thursday night they hosted the Com munity Action Council of Chowan Coun ty and between 85 and 100 people didn’t let the rain stop them from attending. The women in the community fixed a delicious buffet dinner and Rev. James Elliott gave an inspiring welcome. Rev. Anthony Hathaway traced the history of the community pointing out that while progress has been made there is still much to do. Mayor George Alma Byrum and Rob ert W. Moore, head of the county coun cil, commended the people for their good work. Economic Improvement Council of ficials Roy Lowe and W. G. Pierce join ed in words of praise to the people of the community. They were words well deserved by everyone, from Oliver Bonner, their pres ident, right down to the child who now works on a 4-H project or just enjoys the swings on the playground. Other communities have seen the example Old Hertford Road Community has set and now there are 14 active groups in Cho wan. Unfortunately there are some slum areas in Edenton and Chowan County. Old Hertford Road and Paxton Lane are not among them. The people in this area are to be com plimented for their past achievements and encouraged to continue their efforts. And it is when home folks recognize your accomplishments that you are real ly making tracks. Week of Weeks The week of October 5-11 this year is about the most popular of them all. It has been singled out for special interest by at least four different groups. Last week we called attention along The Public Parade to National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. It is also: National Fire Prevention Week: National 4-H Week; and National Newspaper Week. Elsewhere in today’s newspaper are a number of articles written by repre sentatives of some of the 4-H Clubs in Chowan County. They tell about the various activities of the young people in the area. Chowan’s 4-H program is gaining strength and adult workers are doing a fine job. The Town of Edenton has a splendid fire department, headed by Chief W. J. Yates. The regulars and volunteers are well trained and dedicated public serv ants. The same can be said for the Cross Roads Volunteer Department, headed by Chief Frank White, Jr. Fire prevention is a subject of vital interest to all of us. Fire can kill. It can cause financial ruin. It can strike anywhere and anytime. It can strike anyone. Prevention efforts are the best de fense. National Newspaper Week gives us a chance to toot our own horn. In the five years we have been on the team un told hours and thousands of dollars have been spent in an effort to give you the best weekly newspaper possible. The .Chowan Herald employees are the best in the business—experienced, loyal and dedicated. It is a pleasure to be asso ciated with them. And before we get mushy we’ll write a “30” to this by saying: Hire the handicapped; support the 4-H; prevent fires; and keep on buying the newspaper. NATO Talk Set Edenton Rotarians today (Thursday) will hear a staff officer discus* NATO’s Supreme Allied Command, Atlantic, with Lt. Col. Robert G. McNabb presenting the program. Col. McNabb, a member of the Ca nadian Armed Force*, has been on the commander’s staff in Norfolk, Vn., since April, 1968. He serves as officer con sultant for Sub-Air Anti-Submarine War fare. He eras formerly the base opera tions officer at the Canadian Forces Base on Summerside Prince Edward Island, Canada. A career officer, Col.
