And it will be remembered for a long time, for it was a very pleasant occasion. A wonderful pres ent arrived a few days ahead of time when the Missus returned home from the hos pital. My daughter Dorothy made a won derful contribution to the anniversary by being with my wife during her latest ill ness. Another “present” came from five little Negro boys, children of Mrs. Hazel Bembry, which is worth more to me than anything they could have bought. A scribbled note sent me read: “Happy birth day, Mr. Bufflap. Hope Mrs. Bufflap will soon get well. We wish you the happiest birthday five boys could wish for anybody. You and Mrs. Bufflap is so good to us and we thank God for that. God be with you. We wish we had a lot to give. Bye now. From the Bembry children.” Now isn’t that sweet? Then to top off the day, members of the Bible Study Class at the Methodist Church pulled a big and very pleasant surprise Tuesday night when they marched in the house, totally unex pected on my part, sang “Happy Birthday” and brought a favorite chocolate cake al most large enough to feed a Sunday School picnic. It took three or four puffs on my part to blow out the candles. It was a very happy occasion and in case any of ’em do not know it, all the talking was recorded by the Missus, who also enjoyed the com pany. Then Ernest Kehayes gave me a necktie so “loud” that I think I’ll save it and put on next year’s Christmas tree. o With so many friends, far and near, writing to Kate to express words of en couragement and hope for a speedy recov? ery, it seems proper for me to report that she was brought home from Albemarle Hos pital Friday morning of last week, follow ing another major operation the previous Sunday morning. While she appears to be improving, she is still very weak—so much so that she was unable to do any writing for The Herald this week. Due to lack of an appetite, she is eating very little, but Mrs. LJoyd Burton, Mrs. Myrtle Tynch and Mrs. Guy Toppin persuaded her to eat a little more than usual. On Monday Mrs. Tynch and Mrs. Toppin prepared a specially baked shad for supper, of which a rather generous helping was eaten. Then on Tuesday Mrs. Burton sent over a delicious lemon pie, which was too tempting for her to refuse. Os course, a number of other people have sent various kinds of food during her illness, which she has eaten in stead of the meals I have “cooked.’ With a little more strength regained she’ll no doubt be able to walk around a bit—and nobody will be any happier and thankful than Kate herself. RACE DEV El OPS Continued from Page 1 out the duties of District Judge in the First District,” he said in making his announcement. White is married to the former Caro lyn Juanita Bunch of Chowan County. The Whites have one daughter and three grandchildren and reside in Edenton. The First House District is composed of Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Gates, Pasquotank and Perquimans counties. Two representatives are allotted to this district. Rep. Godwin, a Gatesville attorney, has served in the State House since 1961. He was elected to the high office of Speaker of the House during the closing days of the 1969 General Assembly and, if re-elected, will be speaker of the 1971 legislature. At the present time he is serving on numerous state commissions and com mittees which meet while the General Assembly is not in session. Rep. Culpepper, a hardware merchant in Elizabeth City, is seeking his third term in the General Assembly. Both candidates said they have en joyed working for Northeastern North Carolina and the entire state in the legis lature and feel they are now, through experience, able to accomplish even more. No one Hied this week for county offices. |J ulilie ■jJararh' Continued from Page 1 area have become accustomed to. “We know the Aces are great because it is inscribed in the pavement at our gym,” he added. It just so happened that the cement was a bit moist when Coach Marion Kirby had his track team on the ECU campus. So, go ahead Mike, Jerry and Stas, make ECU great. Most of that east coast traffic will flow along the Public Parade enroute to Greenville. When they pause to refresh and leave a few bucks then we’ll feel just great. Keeping Ahead Os The Four Rows There is nothing progressive which doesn’t, at the time, appear to some to be destructive. The construction of a U. S. 17 by-pass of Edenton is a case in point. Nearly to the man, those who objected to the corridor at Monday’s hearing by the State Highway Commission, stated they were in favor of progress. This is justly so. For, if there had been no progress in the past decade there wouldn’t be four row equipment which our farmers now say will be made obso lete by a highway which cuts right through their farms. The corridor, with its curves east or west and its dips north or south, is not the doings of the “city folks”. The highway department took what it con sidered to be the best route for all con cerned—the taxpayers who must ulti mately bear the burden of the cost, as well as the town which doesn’t want the highway to go so far west that it will, deter travelers from getting off for a few minutes to see what “ye ole towne on Queen Anne’s Creek” is all about. Politics have ceased to be a factor in this highway project. It is a matter of economics which in the years to come will prove to everyone to have been based on sound judgment. The interests of the Town of Edenton don’t stop at the city limits. The inter ests of Chowan County neither begin there nor end at the county line. In Northeastern North Carolina we are one great family. We can fuss among our selves but when the chips are down we must follow the line which will bring about the greatest benefit for all the citizens. The U. S. 17 by-pass of Edenton was not bred by a selfish motive. It was not designed to get the traffic, noise and pollution outside the town limits. It is pushed because those in a position to know realize if we are to enjoy the benefits of other communities we need such a highway which ultimately will be four-laned and be a major link in a north-south route. Those who will have their farming interests divided; those who will have their homes relocated; those who may have to pull their four row equipment a few hundred yards farther will ulti mately benefit from this project. Their complaints are sincere as well as valid. Nevertheless, progress is a part of the scheme of things. We cannot stand still. We cannot be an island. We cannot wait, we must act. The U. S. 17 by-pass is a sign of progress as well as action. The wounds opened by such a highway may be a long time healing, but the future will show action now was progress. We can ask no more. We can expect no less. 2 PERJURY COUNTS Continued from Page 1 tion was taken: Walter Johnson Norman, drunk driv ing, SIOO fine and costs.
