Across our desk weekly flows good
news and bad. It is good news that
Harold Summerford has been recognized
by The United Piece Dye Works and
given the added responsibilities of treas
urer. It is also good news that UPDW’s
sales continue to increase and that the
local plant is making a healthy contri
bution.
However, President Albert V. Morrell
sounded a warning to his board of di
rectors earlier this month. He said the
first quarter had been quite profitable
but operations were not at the “high
rates” experienced last year.
UPDW doesn't have a monopoly on
this situation. According to J. J. Roch
lis. president of Chris-Craft Corporation,
boat dealer inventories throughout the
boating industry are high. The supply
lines are full.
This is no different from other na
tional hard goods manufacturing, such
as the automotive industry. This condi
tion has resulted in Chris-Craft having
no alternative but to close down manu
facturing operations for a temporary pe
riod in Edenton and virtually all the
other Chris-Craft plants in the U. S. un
til a better balance is restored.
The local Chris-Craft plant has been
shut down since March 5. It was due
to resume operations on Monday. But,
late word from Rochlis, in a letter to
each employee of the company, extends
the shutdown time from March 16 to
March 23. All Chris-Craft employees
should report at their normal starting
time on March 23.
Call it recession, slow-down, an at
tempt to gain better economic balance.
By any name, however, it hurts. The
wounds will soon heal and normalcy will
be enjoyed. The sooner the better.
AYDLETT ON BENCH
Continued from Page 1
The jurist asked for the cooperation of
the members of the bar, law enforce
ment officers and court officials in gen
eral.
He then ended his statement on a hu
morous nature, although a very pointed
hint to defense attorneys. He said he
never liked long-winded speeches and
long cross examinations.
“I start oat with a great deal of com
passion for the defendant but it begins
to wear out as time goes on.”
Judge Aydlett is a former legislator
and has a long record of service to the
Democratic Party and to Northeastern

“By Buff
tfyjr 9&i**++*»**++****+*+*********++'
This week I’ve had an opportunity to
see the March 6 issue of “The Spotlight,”
published by the journalism class for stu
dents of John A. Holmes High School. It
is chock full of very good articles written
by members of the staff and one especially,
written by Janet Satterfield, is worth more
circulation than “The Spotlight” provides.
Miss Satterfield’s article follows:
“The teachers of John A. Holmes High
School have been berated, belittled, talked
about in disgusting undertones behind their
backs and called all sorts of names.
“Everything has been said against them
but nothing for them. They appear to
stand as some sort of martyr for the stu
dent upon which we host all our insults.
We don’t seem to take into consideration
that they are human and possess feelings
like the rest of us.
“We never give them credit for what they
have done, but are always ready to pounce
upon them for what they have not done.
“We’re constantly blaming them for our
low grades, for our not getting enough •
sleep at night because of homework, and
for being the most cruel beings that ever
stepped upon God’s earth. But is this
true? Are our low grades and fatigue
really their fault?
“Our parents send us to school to get an
education and this job is entrusted to the
teachers. These people try to teach us to
the best of their abilities what we are re
quired to know.
“Teachers should be labeled by their
right qualities understanding, confident,
informative, and yes, even kind.
“I suppose this article sounds rather
weird to most, if not all of you; and what
you are wondering is how big a bribe I
was paid. But I ask you, ‘lsn’t it about
time someone said something nice about
teachers’?”

From the Bufflap Sick Room: Though
far from regaining her normal strength,
the Missus this week was able to write
both of her columns for The Herald. This
does not mean that she was able to me
ander along Broad Street, but by using
the telephone and advertisers calling her
on the phone, she managed to write her
“Shopping With You In Mind.” She has
gained enough strength, however, to walk
about the house and take short, very short,
walks in the yard to enjoy flowers bloom
ing and see other sure signs of spring—
her most favorite time of the year. Inci
dentally, a group of Methodist ladies were
talking the other day and one of ’em said
“I was so glad to see Kate at church ser
vice . Sunday night. I understand Buff
pushed her to church in a wheelbarrow.”
Well, I pushed her to the church but it
was not in a wheelbarrow. Ic was in a
wheelchair, but she was so anxious to at
tend church that I suppose a wheelbarrow
would have been all right, too.
o
And talking about sick people, I was in
formed Monday morning that Doc Wallace
Griffin is in a very serious condition in a
Fort Pierce, Fla., hospital. Here’s hoping
he’ll come through his illness O. K.
o
I made a boo-boo last week in naming
officers of the Eastern Star Chapter. I
listed Mrs. Eleanor Walker as associate
conductress. The error was in “Eleanor,”
which should have been Elnora. Incident
ally, Mrs. Walker has now living with her
at Cape Colony her mother, Mrs. Margaret
Causey and her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Harris.
They are twins and are 80 years old —and
that’s a ripe old age.

Chowan Hospital Continues To Improve Personnel
A continuous effort is being made to
improve and expand the staff at Chowan
Hospital, according to Tom Surratt, ad
ministrator. He said the program has
received the full cooperation of staff
members and every avenue is being ex
plored to make patient care and other
hospital functions second to none.
“The people in the community should
be aware of our aims and the activity
of the present as well as the past to im
prove our hospital,” he noted.
The administrator said several pro
grams have been underway for some
time—like two nurse assistant courses —
to prepare for moving into the new hos
pital this fall. He also said key mem
bers of the staff are taking advantage
of courses and training offered by other
hospitals and associations to up-grade
the local facility.
Surratt said this training at times has
been achieved at little cost to Chowan
Hospital but through great personal sac
rifice on the part of the employee.
Among the programs in which local
personnel participated are:
Nursing Techniques in Coronary Care
at Charlotte Memorial Hospital and
N. C. Memorial Hospital and Scientific
Approach to Supervision of Cardiac
Units, at UNC, both attended by Mrs.
Bernadette Johnson, a registered nurse
on the staff.
Training in physical therapy at Louise
Obici Hospital by Mrs. Joyce Hussey,
licensed practical nurse, who will be
come physical therapy technician. This
will be a new service at the hospital.
Premature Infant Care Program for
Nurses at N. C. Baptist Hospital in
Winston-Salem, by Mrs. Nell Moore, a
staff registered nurse.
Middle Management Seminar at Win
ston-Salem was attended by Mrs. Bar
bara Cale, director of nursing, and Mrs.
Marina Crummey, business office mana
ger.
The hospital is working with New
Careers program of the Economic Im
provement Council and has Shad Book
er as an orderly-nurse assistant trainee.
Ten LPN’s are now enrolled in a phar
macology class and it is expected that in
the future all LPX’s at the hospital will
be required to have completed this
course.
Surratt said the hospital plans to con
tinue to send personnel to various pro
grams in order to improve service to the
patient. He said because of experience
gained by professional staff members at
Elected President
Mrs. L. P. Williams, Jr., of Elizabeth
City, has been elected president of Al
bemarle Area Arts Council. Mrs. Wil
liams, wife of a former Edenton surgeon,
will fill the unexpired term of Keith
R. Hundley of Plymouth.
Mrs. Williams had been serving as
secretary of the eight-county organi
zation.
The new president is well-known in
Edenton for her contributions to Eden
ton Little Theater, which she helped
organize; to Chowan Hospital Auxiliary,
which she served as president; and St.
Paul’s Episcopal Churchwomen, in which
her talents were most outstanding as
bazaar chairman.
Mrs. Thomas Chears, executive di
rector, quoted from a recent article in
which Joseph Farrell, director, Associat
ed Councils of the Arts, was quoted on
the subject: “Make Art a Basic Study.”

Mayor Byrum said also council should
review the ordinance dealing with mow
ing vacant lots. He said these lots
should be kept in an orderly manner and
he doubted if the existing ordinance is
sufficient to accomplish this.
Gardner said FAA had given approv
al of the sale of four acres of base prop
erty to Union-Camp Corporation. He
also reported that U. S. Lumber*'Com
pany has paid back taxes on property at
the base under lease and has informed
town officials the firm has a good pros
pect for a tenant.
The finance committee, headed by
Councilman Parks, was asked to investi
gate the mosquito control program for
this summer.
At the suggestion of Mayor Byrum,
council authorized a resolution of respect
for the late Judge W. S. Privott. Judge
Privott served as town attorney for a
number of years.
