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

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.

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.

Rev. Meredith Garrett gave the invo

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.
