COLLEGE BUS ROLLS
Continued from Page 1
in the afternoon to their homes located in
three distinct areas. Any student,
whether part-time or full, is eligible for
the bus. The only “ticket” is a COA
I. D. card.
Clayton Morrisette, director of Pro
ject COA which is sponsoring the pro
gram, said today the bus runs began
Wednesday morning. He also an
nounced the names of the three bus
drivers, who are also COA students,
who will be driving the state’s first “Col
lege Coaches”.
Morrisette said that Luther Wesley,
a Methodist minister from Wanchese
and also COA student, will drive the
bus originating from Manteo; ex-service
man Donald Wiggins will drive the
Gatesville bus; and Lanny Hollowell
the Edenton bus.
The schedule for the bus runs are as
follows: the Edenton bus leaves at 6:30
A. M., and arrives at COA at 7:45 A. M.
passing through Edenton, the down
town district of Hertford, Winfall and
Elizabeth City.
The Gatesville bus leaves at 7:30
A. M., arriving at COA at 8:45 A. M.,
passing through Hobbsville, Gatesville,
Sunbury, Morgan’s Corner and Eliza
beth City.
The Manteo bus leaves at 6:30 A. M ,
arrives at 8:45 A. M., passing through
Wanchese, Manteo, Coinjock, Sligo and
Elizabeth City.
All three busses will leave COA for
their return trip at 4 P. M. Morrisette
said that interested persons should come
by his office at COA so that he can in
form the bus drivers where they should
be on the lookout for students waiting
for the busses.
The busses will run in the summer
and whenever the college is in session
Morrisette said about the distinctive
busses which are white and “COA blue”
he added.
“This is the first time this is being
done in North Carolina by a junior col
lege and we’re very proud to be the
pioneer,” Morrisette said.

Continued from Page 1
A youth charged with six counts of
forgery was allowed to plead guilty to
forcible trespass. Defendants charged
with drunk driving were allowed to plead
guilty to reckless driving as lawyers
made arrangements with the solicitor to
avoid trial before a jury.
And a defendant charged with auto
larceny, with another case pending in
District Court, was set scott free when
the solicitor decided not to prosecute
because there wasn’t enough time. How
ever, he thought the case was strong
enough in September, 1969, to seek and
obtain a true bill of indictment.
This very defendant, almost two
weeks to the hour later, was chased down
by a private citizen in a stolen truck.
The plan of attack for lawbreakers, if
they are unfortunate enough to get
caught, is to hire a good attorney and
keep getting the case continued until
the docket is so crowded and the solicit
or wants to go home.
More than 60 jurors sat on the un
comfortable benches of historic Chowan
County Courthouse for the March term
of Superior Court. Only 24 of them
got to enjoy the cushioned seats in the
jury box to pass on" criminal violations.
The others kept coming back ever so
often to see if they were needed. All
the time the cost t 6 the county was
going on.
Chowan County commissioners are
asking for a different plan for schedul
ing court terms. More frequent terms
would not only lessen the over-crowded
conditions at the courthouse: it might
just make it a little harder on those who
run afoul of the law.
Lectures On Drugs
Dr. Arthur Stevenson, director of the
Alcoholic and Mental Hygiene Center,
for a six-county area, has been and still
is in the process of presenting a series
of lectures on drugs in the Edenton and
Chowan schools.
He was a guest speaker at Holmes
High School on March 20 and April 2.
On April 9, he lectured at Chowan High
School. Plans have been made to pre
sent programs to all schools in April
and May, if possible. Dr. Stevenson
plans to follow-up his assembly lectures
with small group discussions. He has
also 1 been a frequent speaker in youth
programs in local churches.
Dr. Stevenson is available as a guest
speaker for any interested civic or
church group. He has recently been a
guest speaker for the Lions Club, Jay
cettes, and Edenton Women’s Club.
Student response to Dr. Stevenson’s
lectures has been excellent. Any civic
group or person desiring his services
may call the Alcoholic Center in Eliza
beth City, 335-1663
| “By Buff
John F. White, one of the two candidates
running for judge of the District Court, re
called the other day that it was 44 years
ago on Friday that he was admitted to the
bar. He was introduced to Judge Henry
Grady by the late Major W. S. Privott. In
soliciting votes, one of his friends told
John, “If you’ve been practicing law for 44
years and have not been placed in jail, you
must be an honest man.”
■ o
Bob Kennan, former Edentonian now
living at Endicott, N. Y., was among those
who renewed their subscription to The
Herald last week. In his letter he enclosed
this brief note: ‘'Hi, Buff and all the rest
of The Herald. We look forward each week
for the paper. Glad your wife is getting
along so good. Tell everyone hello. Min
nie and I will be through Edenton the last
of May or the first of June and hope to
see you and many of our Edenton friends.”
o
Just where they got their information I
do not know, but a couple of tourists told
me the other day that they understood a
new Court House was to be built in Cho
wan County. “Are they going to tear
down the present Court House?” one of
’em asked me. Well, if anyone wants to
start a civil war, just let ’em lay a hand
on tearing down this old building.
o
However, apparently somebody does not
think as much of the old Court House as
most of us do. Had the plan worked out
as expected by somebody, possible irrepar
able damage would have resulted from a
homemade bomb thrown through one of
the rear windows Tuesday morning. For
tunately, the bomb did not explode, and
law enforcement officers are trying their
best to track down the perpetrator of a
crime which would have been greatly de
plored by the entire community.
o
Philip McMullan had charge of Thurs
day’s Rotary program and arranged for a
tour of the Edenton Cotton Mill. Leo
Katkaveck and Fred Ashley, Jr., escorted
the Rotarians through the spacious mill
which has far more machinery than I had
anticipated. Leo and Fred explained in
detail the various operations, but with all
that noise from the machinery running, I
know just about as much about the opera
tion of a cotton mill as I did before
Thursday’s tour. Anyway, the Rotarians
thoroughly enjoyed the trip through the
mill.
o
One of my jobs is to put into type the
weekly menus for the lunch rooms of the
Chowan County schools. It just so happens
that this copy must be set just about the
noon day meal time, so that it often works
up quite an appetite. 'But with some of
the good meals scheduled, it would be sort
of hard to decide which school to go to for
lunch. Anyway, it’s a lot different now
than when many of us went to school and
had to carry a lunch in a paper bag or
a lunch box, if it could be afforded.
o
Something appeared sort of strange in
the Methodist Church Choir Sunday morn
ing, but after a while it came to me what
it was. Tom Surratt, one of the faithful
members of the choir, was not wearing his
glasses. Later I learned that he had brok
en them and did not have an extra pair.
Anyway, lack of his glasses had no effect
on his voice carrying out the male section
of the choir.
- ■ o
Except for continued weakness, • the
Missus is getting along very well lately.
Os course, she had at least two “tonics” the
last few days. First, she fished a while in
the big ditch back of Mary Arcaro’s house
and caught two big catfish. Then the sec
ond “tonic” was a visit over the weekend
by her sister and two friends of very long
standing, all three from Hagerstown, Md.
She’s far from being her real own self, but
I improvement, though very slow, is reason
for both of us to be thankful.
