then there should be some sort of crown
tax in North Carolina.
And regardless of this, we predict
Jimmy Johnson will somehow not only
get over his illness but gain weight.

The best advice for modern young
people, facing all sorts of propaganda, is
the single, simple word: think.

rJea rJ & Seen
“By Buff”
Report from the Bufflap sick room: If a
fighting spirit and determination could be
transferred to physical strength, Kate
would be able to fight her weight in wild
cats. As of this writing (Wednesday af
ternoon) after again being discharged Sat
urday from Chowan Hospital, she is feel
ing better than she has since her sickness
almost two years ago. However, she has
just developed anything like an appetite
and, of course, is eating small portions of
nourishing food. But for being terribly
weak, she is apparently on the mend. And
speaking about hospitals, she had been for
the most part confined to Albemarle Hos
pital in Elizabeth City, where she knows
all the doctors and many of the nurses,
and where she was treated so very nicely.
But following her confinement in Chowan
Hospital she says the whole works is tops.
“I could not have been treated and cared
for any better in any hospital,” she said.
In fact, she liked her room and the treat
ment she received so much that whenshc
was discharged she told Doc Hardin, “I
sort of hate to leave this place.” But Doc
consoled her by saying, “Well, Kate, you
live only several blocks from the hospital
and you can come back any time you wish
to." But here’s one who hopes she will
not have to accept Doc Hardin’s invitation.
Anyway, the hospital gang will always
merit the praises of Kate.
o
Hec Lupton offered a bit of optimism
Wednesday about noon when I was getting
ready to go home for dinner. With the
mercury down to about 14 degrees Wed
nesday morning, as he stepped in from out
doors, he said, ‘ Well, it’s warming up some.
The thermometer has jumped up to 15 de
grees.” With such “rapid” shooting up
ward of the mercury, maybe I’ll be able
to go to work in the morning barefooted.
Maybe by this time all “wrong” Christ
mas presents have been exchanged, but I
saw a little squib the other day which
read: “The gift of love is about the only
present that isn’t exchanged after Christ
mas.” And that would include at least
two “presents” at the Bufflap home. One
was the Christmas carol singing in front
of the house just before Christmas by the
young people of the Methodist and Epis
copal Churches. The other was carol
singing outside and inside the house on
Christmas eve by Rev. and Mrs. George
Holmes and their group of children. They
also presented the Missus with a “Baby
Jesus Cake,” given each Christmas season
to a sick person in the community and
especially to one they love. It was two
very touching experiences and, as above
noted, would not be exchanged for any
thing. Neither of the two groups know
that, though it caused tears to trickle
down cheeks, how much those visits were
appreciated and meant so much.
o
Just a reminder that you’ll just have to
list your property for taxation during
January. Then your 1969 takes, ot face
value, must be paid before February 1.
Then, too, your 1970 automobile licenses
must be displayed before February 15.
Time slips by very rapidly, you know, and
if these three things are not done on time,
you’ll pay a penalty, and in case of the
automobile licenses, you might have to
“tell it to the judge” and not be able to
drive your car.
• ■ o
Friend Lee Sutton from down South Ca
rolina way called my attention to this: “By
the time you’re mature enough to watch
your step, you’re too old to step.”
■ - o
William E. Timme, who lives out in
Harrisonville, Mo., just renewed his sub
scription to The Herald and said, in part:
"We really enjoy The Herald and look for
ward every week to getting it. I was
planning a trip to Edenton at Christmas
but circumstances prevented my coming
this year. Hope for a trip down there this
summer, though. If you go across the
Sound any time soon, stop at Brabble’s
Grocery and tell my father-in-law, H. W.
Brabble, I said hello. I thought the ar
ticle that the New York Times reporters
wrote was great.” About crossing the
Sound, if this weather keeps up, fll be
able to skate across.
o
Then Virginia Willingham, who lives at
Washington, D. C., also renewed her sub
scription to The Herald and write: “So
glad Kate is better. We enjoy her column
very much.”
o
It will be interesting to know that Mrs.
Lillie B. Parks is getting along very well
at Norfolk General Hospital. Mrs. Parks,
80 years old, had the misfortune to fall at
her home on Johnston Street and break a
hip. Information Wednesday afternoon was
to the effect that she went through the
operation very satisfactory and that on
morning she was able to sit in a chair.
Here’s hoping she’ll soon be able to be
back home.

opment.
“We feel that a local development
team approach would serve that goal,
and help us accomplish our ultimate ob
ject: thriving local economies all across
North Carolina.”
Members of the General Assembly,
C&D board members, area and local in
dustrial development people and county
and municipal officials have been invited
to attend the meeting to hear the sales
team concept explained, according to
Sowers.
There is a siren in every community
and she usually aids considerably in
varying life’s routine gossip.
And who can remember when dancing
was frowned upon in most small com
munities?
Unemployment Rate Was Low Here During 1969
All major activities, except unemploy
ment insurance claims, showed a marked
increase in 1969 over 1968, in the Eden
ton Employment' Security Commission
Office, according to Neil E. Thagard,
manager of the local office.
Applications for employment were tak
en from 1,547 individuals, 1,931 persons
were referred to employers that had re
quested workers and 1,242 were hired

Young Negroes
Tried For Assault
A visit to D. F. Walker Junior High
School earlier this month by two Negro
school drop-outs earned them active pris
on terms on assault charges and they
were bound over to Chowan County Su
perior Court on a larceny charge.
The two, Ronell Valentine and Syl
vester Lee Hines, both 16, were convict
ed by Judge Fentress Horner of Eliza
beth City of assaulting two students at
the Walker School. One was a white
student, the other a Negro.
Judge Horner gave the defendants
identical sentences of six months on
the roads in each of the two assault
counts, to run consecutively. They
were also charged with larceny of 10
cents from the white prosecuting wit
ness and probable cause was found.
Both gave notice of appeal and bond
was set at $1,500 each.
Judge Horner said, in entering the
sentences: “They are the ones causing
trouble in school, or part of the trouble.
All they know is punishment.”
Supt. Bill Britt told the court neither
of the defendants had a right to be on'
the Walker School property.
Preston Woodard, charged with no
operator’s license, was given six months
on the road after the jurist noted his
lengthy criminal record.
Solicitor Wilton Walker prosecuted
the long docket and the following other
action was taken:
George Brinkley, failure to comply
with a former order of the court, six
months, suspended upon payment of
SIOO in back support money and costs.
The prosecuting witness refused to
testify and paid court costs in cases
where Richard Jackson Rountree was
charged with assault, on a female, tres
pass, abandonment and non-support of
his wife and children.
Lawrence White, temporary taking of
a vehicle and drunk driving, two years,
suspended and placed on probation for
three years upon payment of S3OO fine
and costs and pay damages to truck not
covered by insurance.
Daniel Louis Motring, drunk driving,
90 days, suspended upon payment of
$125 fine and costs.
William Roosevelt Alexander, Jr.,
carrying a concealed weapon, SSO and
costs.
James Holley, called and failed.
Darnell White, failure to dim lights,
not drive for 30 days and pay court
costs.
Robert Murry Peeples, drunk driving,
called and failed.
Hillard Brothers, Jr., drunk driving,
six months, suspended upon payment of
S2OO fine and costs.
Michael Chinsolo, drunk driving, call
ed and failed.
Horace Sharpe, two counts of worth
less checks, 30 days, suspended upon
payment of $lO fine and costs in each
case and make restitution.
Henry Bell, worthless check, 30 days,
suspended upon payment of $lO fine
and costs and make restitution. Notice
of appeal entered and bond set at SIOO.
Rufus Whitaker, assault on a female,
six months, suspended upon paymetn of
costs and move from where he is living
by 5 P. M., Tuesday.
Thomas Edward Parker 111, drunk
driving, six months, suspended upon
payment of S2O fine and costs.
Virginia Lee Holley, depositing trash
on highway, $lO fine and costs and $25
for failure to appear in court last week.
Seven Cases Tried
Only seven of 16 cases cm the calendar
for Monday’s civil term of Chowan
County District Court were heard in a
session which lasted little more than an
hour.
Twenty-seven jurors showed up for
service but only one jury trial was
heard. That took approximately five
minutes and was necessary by law since
notice of the divorce action was by pub
lication rather than public service.
In that case, Judy Welch Rankins, by
her next of friend, LOlie V. Welch, was
granted a divorce from Willie Ray Ran
kins.
Judge W. S. Privott presided and
granted uncontested divorces to Elmer
Jennings Taylor from Velma Chriscoe
Taylor; add Francis H. Raynor from
Willie Raynor.
were veterans and 81 were handicapped
persons.
A total of 1,112 contacts were made
with employers of the area, 500 of these
were personal visits by members of the
Employment Security staff and 257 were
telephone contacts to solicit job orders
and provide other services needed by the
employers. The other 355 contacts were
made on behalf of disadvantaged per
sons to solicit the aid of employers in
utilizing this important segment of our
work force.
A testing program was conducted in -
