THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1969 Support Council W. M. Sanford, chairman, Chowan Arts Council, has announced the co operation of Edenton Jaycees to solicit memberships here in the Albemarle Arts : Council. . E. C. Toppin has been named chair man of the Arts Council Committee by Wayne Ashley, president of Edenton Jaycees. Toppin and other Jaycees sold memberships at the Edenton-Camp Le jeune football game at Hicks Field Fri day night. . Sanford was high in his praise of the cooperative spirit in which the Jaycees : volunteered to aid in this drive to ob tain 3,000 council members in Chowan County. A membership campaign is now underway to secure 25,000 members in the eight counties served by the Albe marle Arts Council. Memberships in the council are $1 each. Door prizes, including a new car, motorcycle and TV will be awarded at a sidewalk art show in Elizabeth City early next month. Speaking of the Jaycees, Sanford said the council is fortunate to have them line up with the council. “With their assistance the goal can be met and citi zens can become better informed as to the aims and goals of the area council,” he stated. Mrs. N'elson Chears, council executive director, said emphasis is being placed on the needs of students, present and future. With money from memberships and other sources a well balanced pro gram will be arranged in each county in the area, she added. Toppin said the Jaycees recognize the need for the council’s program and will work hard toward reaching the local goal. He said a house-to-house canvass will take place Monday night in Edenton. Memberships are also being sold at the three offices of Peoples Bank & Trust Company, First National Bank of Eastern North Carolina, Edenton Savings and Loan and Albemarle Motors. In the rural areas, memberships are available at Earl Smith’s Store, M&R Service Center and Lloyd Briggs Store. Jaycee employees at United Piece Dye Works, Chris-Craft, The Carter’s Ink Company, Seabrook Blanching Corp., and George C. Moore Company are also soliciting members for the coun cil. LOCAL TEENS Continued from Pag* 1 that is of considerable importance to lo cal retail merchants. And, they are aware, it is money that gets spent quickly. A breakdown by the Rand Poll shows how the average teen-ager in the 16 to 19 group allots his weekly stipend. Among girls, the largest item is person al grooming, $4.60. Next comes cloth ing, $4.20, and movies and entertainment, $2.15. The top item for boys is movies and' dating, which takes $4.45. This is fol lowed by car costs, $3.25, and clothing, $3.10. Os still greater interest to merchants and manufacturers is the other family purchasing, estimated at close to S4O billion a year, over which the teen-agers have a direct influence. Whether it be the type of car that is bought, or the home furnishings or the food that is served, they have a big voice in the decision. In Chowan County, in line with the findings nationally, this influence af fects purchases estimated at $3,263,000 a year. TOMMY SHEPARD Continued from Page 1 committee. Shepc r d is president of the Young Churchmen, local and district; president of the local National Honor Society; sports editor of the school newspaper; assistant editor of the Holmes yearbook and a member of the Student Council. He attended the Boys’ State and was a page in the N. C. Senate. He is a Life Scout "■*. <LjS)een H “f?v Busf ’ Now I’ve learned how it might be pos sible to keep from paying a debt. The other day one of the boys in the shop said to another, “you know you owe me a dollar?” The answer was, “yes, something told me I owed you a buck” . . . but then the other fellow broke in, “Yeah, and you no doubt told ‘something’ to shut up.” o Maybe Bud Amburn needs a new cal endar or a pair of specks. Just before Hal loween he stated that the day would be observed Thursday night, when it should have been Friday. Then in last week’s Herald he said the Edenton Christmas pa rade would be held Wednesday, December 3, when actually the parade will be held Thursday afternoon, December 4, starting at 4 o’clock. It’s mighty hard to keep from making mistakes in a newspaper, which I had tried for over 30 years but errors creep in no matter how hard a fellow tries to keep ’em out. Anyway, it’s Bud’s “sec ond mistake,” but he’ll make some more for sure if he remains in the newspaper business. o My friend DeWitt Cooper out in Rich mond, Ind., dropped me a letter of ex planation why he did not show up in Edenton this fall. Due to circumstances, he went to visit a college roommate in Massachusetts where, he says, he went down in Maine at Cape Elizabeth, where he got his fill of oysters on the half shell, plus a couple of dinners of steamed clams. “I never get them,” he said, “except when I go east.” Anyway, Coop fell in love with Edenton and says if his next physical examination failed to reveal anything but good health, he’ll probably be around for a while—and maybe another visit to Eden ton. And if he does, he’ll also get a good mess of grits another of his favorites which he doesn’t get out Indiana way. o Coach Marion Kirby’s Edenton Aces did themselves proud Friday night on Hicks Field when they easily downed Lejeune High School by a score of 35 to 12. This Friday night they go up against Northern Nash High School and if they can down the Nash County boys they’ll play for the Eastern Class 2-A championship. The Aces have gone a long way this season, despite Coach Kirby’s sort of pessimistic outlook before the season got underway. But the boys proved that they want to play foot ball for the sport of it, follow the coaches’ orders so, coupled with the abilities of the players, we have a winning combination. Here’s hoping the Aces will defeat North ern Nash in Greenville next Friday night and then go on to win the Eastern cham pionship. We’re all pulling for you, Aces! Do your best and, win or lose, the whole works are proud of you. o Mrs. M. E. Miley of Charleston, S. C., is one who renewed her subscription to The Herald this week. “I enjoy The Herald,” she said, “and I hope Kate is home and feeling real good.” o And speaking about Kate, she returned home Sunday from Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City. While still very weak, it’s hard to keep her still and rest—she just must scout around the house—and even get around in the yard. Thank goodness, be ing at home and even if unable to cook an occasional meal, she’s a big help in telling me what to do and even find the pots and pans, cooking oil, pepper and salt, sugar, washing powders and just about every bloomin’ thing that goes to making a meal and cleaning up afterwards. It’s wonder ful to have her back home, and she, too, thinks it’s wonderful to be there. o Dusty Rhoades was in Charlotte the early part of this week, where he and a group of other Masons were honored by the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Bodies by being elected Knight Commander of the Court of Honor. This is next to the highest honor a Mason can achieve, so that Dusty is to be congratulated. He’s the only KCCH in Edenton. OPPORTUNITY IN EAST Continued from Page 1 ties of the state. He also said the area must become financially aggressive, stop firmly ad hering to the past, and seek and main tain professional advice. L. C. Bunch of Edenton, chairman, Northeast Area of the N. C. Associa tion of Soil & Water Conservation Dis tricts, was re-elected. Elected to serve with him was Arch Flanagan of Pitt County, vice chairman, an dA. B. Ethe ridge of Pasquotank County, secretary treasurer. Mayor George Alma Byrum welcomed the several hundred conservation-minded people to Edenton and Chowan County, citing the tourist attractions here. John E. Smith of Gates was given the farm award for the area. State leaders also spoke briefly and Rev. Meredith Garrett gave the invo cation. Edenton Jaycees and Jaycettes served the charcoaled steak dinner at the Jay cee Community Building on Base Road. Woman Booked A Negro woman from Perquimans County was arrested Saturday afternoon and charged with possession of untaxed liquor. The arrest was made by Cho wan County Sheriff Troy Toppin and two deputies. Hazel M. Hayes of Winfall was book ed at 1:20 P. M., after the 1962 Chevro let station wagon she was driving was found to be transporting two pints of untaxed booze. public parade Continued from Pago I It is appropriate at this time to re mind those who still cling to this mis conception that the American Medical Association and the National Research Council have stripped marijuana of its aura of “respectability” and shown it for what it is —a dangerous drug. In a recent statement, the two groups, among the most qualified authorities on the subject, emphasized that just be cause marijuana is not physically addict ing does not mean it is not dangerous. For one thing, those who use it repeat edly can become psychologically depend ent preoccupied with smoking “po ! ”. This can lead to neglect of personal hy giene and of productive tasks and event ually to becoming a burden on society. It can also lead to taking other drugs and to psychiatric problems. What about those who use marijuana ionly sporadically? Unlike the typical drinker of alco hol, the typical smoker of marijuana uses the drug for the express purpose of be coming intoxicated. He doesn’t take one or two puffs. He keeps dragging until he’s “high” and, at that point, he’s every bit as dangerous as a drunk in social situations like driving a car. Getting high whether on alcohol, pot, LSD, or “speed” is an attempt to dodge the responsibility of coming to grips with reality. The real world may not be a pretty one to some, but it’s the only one we have and evasive flights into the treacherous fantasy world of drug euphoria will do nothing to make it better. Welcome To Club Jenkin Lloyd Jones, editor of the Tulsa Tribune and now president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, recently pointed out that the press is letting itself be used by those who would destroy it. “I believe the reporter who ignores the distinguished speaker invited to the university platform and who occupies himself with interviewing the storm troopers who tried to take over the stage is not entirely guiltless of a breakdown of the teaching system,” Mr. Jones said. “Nor is his boss.” “Let 20,000 patriotic Americans march down Fifth Avenue,” he continued. “Let 400,000 cheer them from the curbs. And let 100 bearded marxists try to block the march somewhere uptown. What happens? NBC, CBS and ABC and all the news reporters and photographers rush to the spot and give the impression that all New York erupted in fury that someone dared to show the flag. “Is this telling it like it is? Or is this a sucker game? The technique is cal culated, polished and being used with increasing frequency. Isn’t it about time for a statute of limitations on our stu pidity? ” Welcome to the club, Mr. Jones. We have been saying the same thing for years, but then we are not president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. We here at The Chowan Herald have declined from the first to play the suck er game. We have refused to let the visiting bum upstage the mayor. We have not permitted the troublemaker to take precedence over the constructive worker, however colorless. We have felt from the beginning, how ever, that television, a sort of woods colt among the press thoroughbreds, has been the big sinner, always willing to zoom in on the tinhorn, stick a mike in his face and elevate him to national prominence while more worthy contend ers were relegated to the limbo of slant ed reporting with a 10-second flash un derscored with a 10-word misquote. Next to television came the wire ser vice reporters, that breathless corps with a deadline somewhere every minute, sub stituting color for truth, opinion for ob jectivity. And next in line of failure to tell it like it is are the reporters from the big, liberal newspapers, with “in depth” ac counts dug from the depth of their own typewriters, bleeding for causes and solv ing everybody’s problems except those in their city of publication. If this country emerges from this combination of make-believe with any of its freedoms left, it will owe it to the country press, the small dailies and weeklies which have refused to join the parade of the debunkers and protesters. And, believe it or not, it will be this reservoir of strength which the video and kideo boys will fall back upon for protection when overtaken by their own folly. Nor will it be the first time the hicks have saved the highhats. The churches of Chowan County may not be the biggest in the world, but they can give us more religion than we can assimilate. Who can remember when double header ice cream cones were five cents? And when you didn’t have five cents to buy ode? Record Broken DURHAM—Junior wing end Wes Chesson, of Edenton, has become the leading pass receiver in Duke football history after his performance in Duke’s 48-12 loss to Virginia Tech Saturday. Chesson caught five passes for 71 yards, to give him 1,295 yards on pass receptions in his 19-game Duke career. This broke the yardage mark of 1,267 held by Henley Carter, who now is a Duke freshman assistant coach. Chesson also punted in his usual fine fashion Saturday, averaging 39.8 yards on eight kicks, substantially above his 37.1 season average. Chesson out-punted his Virginia Tech counterpart, Jack Simcsak, who is one of the nation’s leaders. USE LASSIFIED DS PECANS WANTED 100,000 pounds. Top prices. Any size. Leary Bros. Stor ole Company.
