rtion or speak a kind word.
Mr. Berryman loved life. He loved
Children and if he had not then his place
©f residence placed him in jeopardy.
For a time he had five young Shoafs
bn one side and five young Amburns on
Jhe other. And he never missed an op
portunity to relate doings of his five
grandchildren in far-away California.
• He has long been recognized as the
foremost authority on land in Chowan
or another he surveyed most of it.
4 Mr. Berryman didn’t let his pro
fession, his retirement, his recent blind
ness nor anything in between interfere
with his love and devotion to his God
and the Church. For 65 of his 89 years
he was a member of Edenton Baptist
Church. And whenever he spoke people
listened for they knew he spoke with
authority.
: William James Berryman lived a rich
life of devotion to his family, friends,
Community and his God. We’ll miss
knowing he isn’t just across the drive
way.

: The Hamden group was joined in
sheir work by high school boys and girls
Ifrom St. Anne’s—an experience both
priests agree was beneficial to all par
ticipants.
j; Before leaving Friday, with the pro
ject all completed, Miss McHugh wrote
(die following:
;i Father Butler has thanked us in his
Sjermon Thursday at the Mass for the
teenagers and I just don’t know how I
jdould possibly thank him.
;:i I think the best first impression of
|the south was St. Anne’s pastor. We
jrian off the bus behind the church, Mon
day at 6 P. M., and were warmly greet
ed by father. We brought our luggage
jjhto the rectory and went our own ways
jtb explore this new town.
ii| The kids in my group were lucky and
jijot a guided tour of Edenton by Maru
ajnd Paul Amburn. It was really nice
ajs we all were interested in getting to
fenow people and Maru and Paul really
flowed us the Edenton Baptist Church,
ifembroke Hall and the shops on Broad
Street.
jij This was rather a quick tour for we
kad to be back at the rectory to meet
knd go home with our temporary fami
jjjes.
Altogether our group from Hamden,
Conn., entailed 27 people. Andrea and
sack Miller, Olga and Joe Gaino, Mar
garet and Frank Kalapos, Evelyn and
|red Guay and Father Butler hosted us
jjh their homes. This made the trip ten
times better. For if we stayed at a
pjotel or whatever we would have missed
jiiery much. We exchanged viewpoints,
(experiences and shared friendship.
i|!' One realizes that no matter where you
j(}D in the country people always tend
She friendly. Everytime we walked
m the main street all of the people
e us big smiles and we were surprised
ause we hadn’t known people who
ke to you when they didn’t know you.
)ne of the nicest things about Eden
is the scenery. All of the trees,
hes and birds are seen earlier than in
inecticut. When we left Connecticut
trees had just begun to bud.
U We were not too surprised about the
warm climate. From a few sources we
had heard that this month was similar
Hjo our early June. We went to the sound
j)each Thursday. It wasn’t a very good
day for swiniming but a number of us
“jjrent in and really started the summer
jjtff right.
All of the kids really enjoyed this
ijfracation. We not only did something
(constructive but had a great time and
irriet some wonderful people. The paint
jjjjd rooms look cheery, the teenagers are
f|red and happy, Father Butler, Father
i|ohn, Miss Trudy McKeon and “our
j|amilies” are flso happy.
|| I just want to thank Father Butler
for letting us come and paint the rec
tory and all of the people in Edenton.
Warning Is Issued On Drug Abuse
The illegal use of drugs and the rising
crime rate in North Carolina were solid
ly linked Thursday night by State Atty.
Gen. Robert Morgan as he spoke at

Well, Saturday is the day some candi
dates will win in an election and some
will be losers. And that’s the way it is
in an election. None of the losers should
be “sour” just because they did not win.
There’s competition for district judge and
Chowan County offices. For the judgeship
the candidates are Wilton F. Walker, Jr.,
cf Elizabeth City and veteran politician
John F. White of Edenton. For clerk of
court the race is between Mrs. Lena Leary,
incumbent, and Ralph E. Parrish. Then
for the sheriffs job, Incumbent Troy Top
pin is opposed by Carroll A. Boyce, son of
a very popular former sheriff. Most of the
opposition appears for four members from
the First Township for the County Board
of Education. There are eight candidates
including the following: Dr. Edward G.
Bond, Thomas Paul Griffin, Emily G. Am
burn, Charles B. Morgan, Dr. A. F. Dow
num, Sr., D. F. Walker, Dr. Allen L. Horn
thal and Dr. J. H. Horton. To represent
the Second Township on the Board of Edu
cation the candidates are O. C. 'Long, Jr.,
and Carlton W. Goodwin. Another contest
is for county commissioner from the First
Township, where N. J. George and J. Wal
lace Goodwin, Jr., are trying to succeed the
late W. E. Bond. Then another very im
portant phase of the election Saturday is
to vote for or against a bend issue to make
Edenton a safer place to live by improving
our water supply and sewer system. There
is no question that this improvement is a
very vital one. As stated in this column
a number of times before, it is not only a
privilege, but a very important duty to vote
in an election. Os course, many times
friendship for this or that candidate is rea
son for a vote, but though friendship is
much to be desired, the most important
part of an election is to vote for the can
didate who is best qualified for the job he
or she seeks. SO BE SURE TO CAST A
BALLOT SATURDAY.

To keep up with the attractive appear
ance of Edenton these days, the Municipal
Building is now being tidied up a bit. Al
bemarle Paint Company is currently paint
ing the trim and entrance halls at the
building. Looks very good!

I made another booboq. last week about
the bicycle safety program in saying that
it was sponsored by Ed Bond Post of the
American Legion. In reality the program
is sponsored by the local post of Veterans
of Foreign Wars. Anyway, here’s hoping
every bicycle in the county was equipped
with the reflective tape as a matter of bi
cycle safety, especially at night.

As of last Sunday we're again on Day

course, were an hour late arriving for
Sunday School.

I have a good cigar to smoke after din

When he presented me the cigar, I asked
who was the daddy. In fact Friend Has

been the daddy. However, it was his
prize mare that gave birth to a beautiful
colt. He didn’t tell me how much the
newcomer weighed, but the name, he said,
is “Queenie.” It’s the first cigar I’ve re
ceived for a baby horse—but just the same

Charles D. Stewart, former Edentonian
and school teacher, now living at More
head City, was among those to renew their
subscription to The Herald. And in send
ing in his “dough” he had these few re
marks to say: * ‘Dear Buff: After all these
years, it would be hard to get along with
out The Chowan Herald. Hearing about
so many people we knew years ago means
a lot to us. We are both doing OK and are
enjoying our retirement years. Hope you
and the wife are doing all right now. Re
gards tc my friends.” Well, if an old pic
ture I have of C. D. in his (fish market,
asleep in a rocking chair, he must have
been retired even before leaving Edenton.

About the Missus: Some good days and
then some net so very good. Anyway,
she’s hoping to be able soon to get out and
try her luck at landing a fish or two.
WHITE BROUGHT
Continued from Page One
tor, of an exchange in the 1937 General
Assembly wheil he introduced a resolu
tion inviting the Legislature to come to
Edenton, “the first capital of North
Carolina”, for a one-day session.
White, now a candidate for district
court judge, said his resolution was
amended by Rep. Libby Ward of Crav
en County to call Edenton “one of the
first” capitals of the state. ■ White car
ried the resolution to Gov. Clyde Hoey
who remarked: “Wheresoever goeth my
legislature, I goeth also.”
So, on March 11, 1937, the General
Assembly of North Carolina met in Cho
wan County Courthouse —the first time
in history a formal session was held
outside the state capital. The House
met in the court room and the Senate
met in the Panel Room.
White recalls that during the activities
of the session, SIOO,OOO was appropriat
ed to advertise the state. This was the
beginning of the Travel and Promotion
Division of the Department of Conser
vation and Development.
Later the General Assembly respond
ed to Rep. Ward’s request to meet in
New Bern. During this session White
was able to obtain funds for preserva
tion of historic homes in Edenton “one
of the first” capitals of the state. Since
that time nearly $200,000 in state money
has been spent on historic sites in Eden
ton.
the installation banquet of Edenton Jay
cees.
Morgan said an arm of his depart
ment—the State Bureau of Investiga
tion—had been unjustly criticized be
cause of efforts to curb the illegal use
of drugs at a time when crime of all
nature was increasing. He added that
it is impossible to intelligently separate
the two.
“What we do today to combat the
illegal use of drugs in North Carolina
will reflect tomorrow on crime in North
Carolina—the increase or decrease”, he
said. “Let us face this fact squarely
and not simply behind the platitudes
that college students are just having a
fling, or boys will be boys or what harm
is one ‘pot party’.”
“The drug ring behind that ‘pot party’
is deadly, the crime committed because
of drug use is deadly—the danger is
there—we must recognize it.”
Morgan said it all sounded like “scare
talk” but the time for less talk and more
action is at hand.
(The complete text of his prepared
speech is found in Section C of this
newspaper).
The speaker was introduced by James
Darnell, program chairman.
Robert C. Dail headed the slate of
officers installed.
James C. (Pete) Dail was presented
the Spark Plug of the Year Award. The
Spoke of the Year Award went to Harry
Gard while Miles Dunlow was given
the Key Man Award by President
Wayne Ashley.
Ed Taylor and Frank Halsey were
recognized as Exhausted Roosters.
Spoke Awards went to Mack Privott,
one year; Woody Copeland, Wayne
Ashley, Bill Boyce, Knapp Brabble, Os
car Whie and Frank Halsey, two years;
Bob Weintraub, four years; Wallace
Evans, six years; and Dail, eight years.
Tom Watts, Elizabeth City attorney,
and National Director, N. C. Jaycees,
installed the new officers.
BOND ISSUE
Continued from Page One
vation on a grant of $329,500 from the
Department of Housing and Urban De
velopment. If local voters do not ap
prove the issue on May 2 then the grant
will be lost, Mayor Byrum states.
In addition to increasing the water
supply, water and sewer will be extended
to newly annexed areas and other areas
of town which are without the services.
The need for the new 500,000 gallon
elevated tank was pointed out by Har
rell who states that the present 300,000
gallon tank and other water facilities
are being used in excess of capabilities.
He said during peak months like June,
July, August and September, the aver
age daily use last year was 570,000
gallons.
He says the present facilities leave no
margin for even minor breakdowns, re
pair and maintenance, and insufficient
rest periods for the well supply which
is recommended to be 15 hours per 24
hours.
Supt. R. N. Hines has said the local
water situation is one of extreme anxie
ty as any kind of power failure, failure
of equipment, or fire would immediately
place the town in a situation of despera
tion.
“As a result of this situation, over
the past several summers, you will re
call that water customers were asked to
curtail use of water for any purposes oth
er than those of absolute necessity,” he
states. “Continued operation in this
manner can be expected to produce a
regrettable circumstance.”
