THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1970 public llararic Continued (mm Page On# We quote directly from the official • census form because it is still on our ! desk—where it has been since before the April 1 “Census Day” across Amer ica. Jerry Scott, directing activities in 17 counties out of the Greenville district office, has reported 13 of these coun ties—including Chowan, actually lost population in the past decade. His fig ures show Chowan dropped 940. It ain’t necessarily so! That number could be reduced by seven if our family alone had .: been included. The manner in which the 1970 census :] has been taken in this area borders on •: being criminal. The Town of Edenton I; on May 1, 1970, extended, by legislative ;. act, its boundaries to more than double : the land area prior to then. Yet, a crew : leader here admits “the maps were all : fouled up” when he is questioned about what happened. We are but one family not counted; .. this is but one incident where things didn’t go according to the slide rule. The census office was fat at he top __ since the political plum comes only every 10 years. Is this he reason money ran out, crew leaders were suddenly dropped, as were enumerators? But the question remains, just how many folks reside in Edenton and Chowan County? Mr. Scott can’t tell us. His figures just •-n’t hold water. •- It is important, as Secretary Stans pointed out, that we take stock. It is equally as important hat the inventory we take be as nearly accurate as human ly possible because it is something we must live with for another decade. Now comes our least favored candi date for the U. S. Congress. He blames - the fact Eastern North Carolina has lost population on the one party system. Phooey! He was a Democrat in 1960 when the GOP conducted the census. Since then he has switched. We doubt, however, that his switch ing is responsible for a preliminary popu lation count to show a drop of 14,444 in • 17 of the 19 counties in the First Con gressional District. Except, if as the standard bearer of his newly discovered remedy to all ills, he had a hand in or ganizing the organizers who failed to do the job they were instructed to do—con duct the 1970 census. Mr. Scott’s figures may be published - *as official. And if they are everyone stands to lose. The census figures are Used in an untold number of ways, many of them with a price tag on them. If not in the name of accuracy, but in the .name of simple economics it is necessary Jfor town and county elected officials to _ do everything within their power—and the one party system—to see a correct census made official. Lest We Forget Superstition has not befallen us. Not yet, anyway. Black cats, walking under • ladders, the 13th, etc., have been just so much folly. It did, nonetheless, disturb us some -yrhat a few years back when the mother of our then not quite five children let our wedding anniversary slip by. For,, you see, it wasn’t the 13th. - This time was something else. It was. on June 1, 1957, that we took the step. Not really a step; more like a dive. Sunday the elder Mrs. Amburn ar rived with some other family members to r her annual visit. Reminiscence brought the question: “Now, Emily just when woe you and Bud married?” It was then the politician in our fam ily remembered. We had managed to keep something from her for six whole J*ys. g[ All of this is to say, Happy Annivers ary and that our mother is visiting. Lest forget to mentjoa dpt, wow! - Sincerity is the difference between: writing and putting down words. " Many who flee from evfl do not «►- : Jerstand that it Is in their hearts. Stttard &Se*n -Bf Buff” Many Edenton friends will remember Leon Brogden, Edenton High School foot ball coach following Henry House when the latter’s Aces won the Class A football championship in 1933. Brogden came dose the following year to cop the championship but the Aces were defeated by Mt Airy hi the crucial game. Well, Brogden has gone a long way in coaching and only recently was among three coaches to be elected to the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. Many know that be coached Roman Gabriel and Sonny Jergenson, both now outstand ing professional football stars. Brogden’s Edenton friends will be happy to know of the honor bestowed upon him. o And speaking of coaches, it’s a pleasure to know that Frank Suttenfield has return ed to live in Edenton. Frank started foot ball at Edenton High School and it was he who developed a bunch of boys who under Henry House copped the state champion ship title. Frank, who was connected with the textile industry in Eden, will now have to use a little more effort in writing his return address cn his mail. Hell just have to add "TON” now that he lives in Eden ton. Os course, he went from Edenton to Leaksville-Spray-'Draper, but the name was later changed to Eden. Anyway, a lot of us are glad that he and his wife decided to move back to Edenton—the best place on earth to live. o There’s no doubt that the price of living has gone sky-high, but maybe things are not quite as bad as they seem. For in stance, while digging up the copy for the Yellowed Pages column in The Herald, I noticed that Dail’s Grocery was advertising frying size chickens at 51 cents a pound and the P A Q Super 'Market’s price was 49 cents a pound. Quite a difference in today’s prices, which have been just a little over half of the 1950 prices. Newspapers, like a lot of other busi nesses, have made a lot of progress in re cent years. One of the most noteworthy is having newspapers printed byway of the offset method. Elizabeth City, Hertford, Plymouth, Williamston and The Chowan Herald in this neck of the woods are now printed the offset way. It’s a complicated process, so that here’s one who must have been bom 50 or so years too soon. o Here’s one of the Edenton Methodists who is very glad that Rev. Ed Earnhardt has been returned to Edenton for another year. The local church has been rather fortunate in getting good preachers, but here’s one who’ll tag Ed Earnhardt as one of the best the church has ever had. ■ o Tcm Surratt took Edenton Rotarians on a tour of the new Chowan Hospital last Thursday. Here’s one who was amazed at what was seen, and when the hospital is completed ft will, no doubt, be a hospital of which all of Edenton and Chowan County can well be proud. The only trouble with the tour was that it was mighty dusty around the hospital and some of the Ro tarians threatened to send Tom a bill for a shoe-shine. _ o While chewing the rag outside the Rad Mens building Monday night, one of the policemen was making his rounds to see if all doors were locked. When he tried the door to Irma Allsbrook’s Nu Curl Beau ty Salon, it flew wide open. Gosh, had some of the Red Men, say Clyde Hcllowell, M. L. Flynn and yours truly, known the door was open each of us could have easily gotten a new crop of hair from the wigs in the shop. R was sort of a surprise to learn that W. J. Yates had resigned as Eden ton’s Fire Chief, for he was as proud of that job as was his predecessor, Captain Dick HalL Anyway, there’s nobody who was more in terested in the Fire Department than Friend Yates. He had the department at heart and be fought over many years to get a new building, and he has done a great deal in making the Fire Department a decided cre dit to Edenton. He was for many years a Town Councilman, so that in leaving his post he should have the satisfaction that he has dime his bit for the old town. It’s gratifying, too, to know that Luther Parks has been appointed as Yates’ successor. Hera’s another fellow who has devoted a lot of time and effort for the town and is well vdrsed in fire fighting technique. Oon gratulations to both of ’am.

Henry M. Holley was sentenced to 30 days in jail, suspended upon payment of $25 fine and costs. Judge Elton Ayd lett of Elizabeth City heard the case. Elwood Nixon of Colonial Freezer Locker said Holley was employed at the local business from December 6 until March 6. Nixon said he told the em ployee he must improve his work or quit. Holley told the court Nixon told him to “tighten up or go home” so he left. On March 24 he applied for unemploy ment, stating he left his job because DAIL VOTED POST Continued from Page 1 of Fire Chief W. J. Vates, who an nounced last week in a letter to Mayor Byrum that he desired to retire on June 30. Chief Yates, a former councilman and a veteran municipal employee, was praised by various councilmen and a resolution was authorized commending him for his service to Edenton. Dail called him one of “the finest community men I know anywhere” and said he has admired him for many years. Gardner said Parks’ application to succeed Chief Yates had received en thusiastic support from members of the community as well as volunteer and regu lar firemen. He recommended the em ployment of Parks, effective July 1. Parks was called to the meeting and accepted the position. In doing so he expressed his appreciation to the council for showing confidence in him. “I have been a servant of the community for many years and look forward to serving as fire chief,” he staed. Parks, service manager at Albemarle Motor Company, is captain of the vol unteer unit here and enjoys a state-wide reputation as an excellent training offi cer. He has served as head of the Al bemarle Area Firemen’s Association and been active in the department for more than 20 years. A widower, Parks is 46 years old and the father of three sons. He is a native of Chowan County and graduated from local schools in 1941. He has been with the local Ford dealer since October, 1945. Parks served on the council for 17 years. He was elected to a four-year term as councilman from Fourth Ward in May, 1969. He was named mayor pro tern when J. Edwin Bufflap retired from the council after 30 years of ser vice. DaQ, who resides at 206 South Oak um Street, is executive vice president of Edenton Savings & Loan Association. He has served on the council for one year, having been elected to a four-year ‘ term in the last municipal election in a four-man race. He serves on the advisory committee of the N. C. Department of Local Af fairs, having been appointed last year by Gov. Bob Scott. He won the DSA in 1964 and has been active in Edenton Jaycees for many years and served in most club offices. In other council action, George Chev rolet was low bidder on a truck for the street department at $7,486.71. Baker Equipment Company was low bidder on the collection body for this truck at $5,665. The total bid for the packer unit was some $3,000 below council estimate. Emory Wilson and Associates of Greensboro was low bidder on pump station equipment o serve Chowan Hos pital. The bid, recommended by the Board of Public Works, was $12,653. Gardner reported receiving street pav ing petitions from Morgan Park, Pax ton Lane and an unnamed street near the home of D. F. Walker. He also reported that Town Attorney W. J. P. Eafhhardt, Jr., had taken ad ditional action to get two parcels of the Hobowsky property cleaned up. In addition to Dail, council members present were W. H. Hollowell, Jr., J. D. Elliott, Leo Katkaveck and David G. White. COMMISSION $467,644.88 from federal and state funds.

Roy Blackley, ESC employee, testi fied that when he took Holley’s appli cation he was aware that Nixon was looking for more help. “This type person reflects on the un employment rate,” the jurist said. “We have a lot of folks who can get work and who are just not going to work. They want the pay but they want to sit around and not work.” Holley did not draw any ESC funds therefore the judge imposed the mini mum sentence and fine. In other cases with Tom Watts prose cuting the docket, Judge Aydlett took the following action: John Nowell, failure to comply with support order, continued under former order. William A.

F.: * As you know, the Iraqi government sev ered diplomatic relations with the United States in June, 1967, as a result at the false allegations that we had assisted Israel militarily during the war. Relations have not been resumed, and we have no direct communications with that government To make matters worse, the Iraqi government has been openly hostile to the United States, which it identifies completely with Israel This automatically makes the U. S. government suspect in Iraqi eyes and makes them believe that any U. S. actions are motivated by Israeli interests. We will continue our efforts to alleviate the situation of oppressed minorities in Irag. In toe meantime, we hope that the Iraqi government will react to worldwide censure and put an end to the series of trials and executions we have witnessed this year.
