Shaw, Jr., vice president of Thompson - Arthur Paving Company in Greensboro. Mr. Shaw thought so much of the article that he sent clippings to Elton Edwards, Hargrove Bowles, Gov. (Bob Scott, Richardson Preyer, B. Everett Jordan, Sam Ervin, Paul Blazer, J. H. Hinds, Ed Rankin, Henry. Pierce, Prank Crane, Bill (Dunn, Ar thur Schmuhl, C. R. Nelson, John Turner, Jack Elam, Jim Melvin and Joe Hunt ‘‘l don’t know that this will bring anything about,” wrote Mr. Shaw, “but perhaps it will open some eyes.” With the clipping Mr- Shaw sent the fol lowing note: “Thought you would be interested in this article appearing in The Chowan Herald on Thursday, July 16, 1970. If anyone will take the time to read this article it should lay to rest forever any naive notion that one might have regarding the long range goals of the Communists.” So that The Herald had a little bigger circulation for that week. —o A bit of good news this week is the word that I get that Bill Sanford and his fine family will not be leaving Edenton- to go to lowa as was previously reported. Here’s one who’s glad that they will re main Edenton residents. . However, Bill lost out at the Rotary Club ;(but he’s shed ding no tears), for because it was thought he was leaving Edenton the Rotarians elect ed J. P. Ricks, Jr., as vice president of the club, a position to which Bill was elected. It is good, though, to see Bill’s name still on the Rotary roster. o Mrs. John Ross recently took a trip through Pennsylvania and went through my home town of York. She wanted to eat a Pennsylvania Dutch dinner and' after a while found a place. She told me there were 23 different dishes on the menu and she ate a little of each one. Gosh, she must not have left the place hungry. o At this writing the Missus is again a pa tient in Chowan Hospital. She can’t even swing a fist at me, for most of the time she’s hooked up to a bottle of glucose in an effort to give her some strength. Here’s hoping she’ll soon be able to be back home—even if she can swing both fists. o And speaking about the hospital, they had Shorty Parkerson penned up there for a few days. Though Shorty is now back home, he’s grounded, for he’s not allowed to leave the house. “This is a worse than any pill they gave me at the hospital,” says Shorty But here’s hoping he’ll soon be able to be up and around, for he’s surely missed about town. Public fflararic | War On Hog Cholera The two staff veterinarians at the Diagnostic Lab at Paradise have had an unusually heavy case load for the past two months. Dr. H. C. Jackson and Dr. George Hunnicutt have at least one thing to be thankful for during the seri ous outbreak of hog cholera—full co operation from state and federal authori ties. The concentration of outbreaks has been in neighboring Perquimans and Gates counties, with a smathering re ported in Chowan. However, since the lab is here Edenton has been hog cholera central. Considerable work has been done but hog cholera continues to be one of this state’s leading livestock problems, ac cording to Dr. T. E. Zweigart, state vet erinarian of the Department of Agri culture. Agriculture Commissioner James A. Graham has expressed his confidence in the hog cholera eradication program and says: “It’s been necessary to totally de populate several herds in the Gates, Cho- • wan, Perquimans area and even though partial restitution is made to the swine producers involved by both the XCDA and the USDA, it still places a financial burden on the farmers. “It ,is only through these stringent methods of strict enforcement of the law that our state can be saved from severe economic loss. It must be re membered North Carolina’s industry is still basically agricultural and we are a leader in swine production. “Our goal is the permanent eradica tion of hog cholera in North Carolina and in all states.” Some of the fanners affected by the outbreak have expressed appreciation for the assistance given by state and federal authorities. Out at Eden Motel they display a “Thank You” note from cne farmer —something totally unexpected following complete depopulation of his herd. Those who make a success of life know that schemes do not take the place of hard work and intelligent effort. A hero is a scared man who does what he has to do under dangerous cir cumstances.

O. West, Chowan Coun ty Officer Manager of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. This rate last year was $1.23 per bushel. West said that variation of prices within a given location are due to chang ing patterns of production, utilization, and transportation. A review of these factors and of local operation of the price-support program is made each year before county loan rates are established. County loan rates are based on a na tional average loan level of SI.OB per bushel for No. 2 quality corn for the 1970 crop. Premiums and discounts re main unchanged from those in effect for the past several years. Since participants in the 1970 feed grain program also earned price-support payments of 30 cents a bushel, the total' support in North Carolina for 1970- Twiddy Winner One more week remains in Edenton’s Red Carpet Days.

Savings Bonds in North Carolina for the month of June and the first half of the year were the best since 1946. In Chowan County, sales were $5,406. January-June sales totaled $48,486, which represents 58 percent of Chowan’s goal of $83,556, according to Graham White, county volunteer chairman. North Carolina cumulative sales amounted to $33,138,818, up 2.7 per cent over the same period last year and rep resents 52.3 per cent of the state’s an nual dollar goal of $63.3-million. The increase was said to reflect the success in promoting the payroll savings plan for the purchase of bonds among employees of industry throughout the state. TWO TEENAGERS Con tinned from Pace 1 which he later tore up and flushed into the sewer at police headquarters. The officer testified that Thompson said he had a license and drove the car to the headquarters. It was later de termined that Thompson had had his li cense suspended following a wreck. The defendants told Judge Aydlett they were going nowhere in particular. They said they did not attend school and were unemployed. “You boys don’t take violation of the law too seriously,” the judge observed. “I hope that somewhere along the way you find it expedient to change your way of living.,” he continued. “The way you have started out you are headed for a lot of time in jail or prison.” In other cases called by Solicitor Walker, the following action was taken: Willie Privott, three cases of failure to comply with a former court order, capias. William D. Rea, 111, assault with a deadly weapon, two years, assigned to take whatever treatment and supervision available. Talmadge Eugene Baggett, traffic vio lation, nol pros.

West pointed out that some producers also earned diversion payments by taking more acreage out of com and other feed grain production than the standard acre age diversion required of all program participants. Price-support and diversion payments are now, being made to participants in the 1970 farm programs, and ail pay ments are expected to be completed with in a few weeks. Watermelon King A Chowan County 4-H’er has been named State Watermelon King. This is the third consecutive year for the hon or to come to this county. Terry Leary, 12-year-old son of Mr, and Mrs. Tommy Leary, Route 3, Eden ton, entered the top group of 10 melons to gamer the state title. First Union National Bank paid the 4-H’er $127.50 for the Jubilees. Harry Venters, county extension agent, pointed out that the 1968 title was won by Claude Small, 111, with Ivan Ober bringing home the trophy last year. Ober was among the six entries from Chowan this year but was not able to retain his crown. In addition to Leary and Ober, local 4-H’ers at the state event in Raleigh last week were: Thomas Rogerson, El bert Layton and Mike and Pat Perry.

Jtdy toe | Payment Increase Social security benefits paid to rtifj dents of Chowan County totaled sllß,- 000 a month as 1969 ended, Robert W. Alford, social security manager, reported today. A benefit increase, signed into tail by President Nixon on December 3d, 1969, has since raised the monthly rate of payment by 15 per cent for the 1,778 social security beneficiaries in Chowah County, Alford noted. Os the social security beneficiaries living in this area, 1,124 are retired workers and their dependents. Another 7 471 are receiving benefits as the surviv ors of workers who have died, and 183 are getting benefits as disabled workers or the dependents of disabled worker*. Alford pointed out that although the majority of social security beneficiaries are older people, about one out of every , four is under age 60. A number are the children of retired, disabled, or deceased workers who be came disabled before they reached 18 a and who will probably never be able to - go to work and become self supporting. The benefits of these young people, se verely handicapped by physical or men tal disabilities, will continue indefinitely ' and benefts are also payable to their mothers if the disabled son or daughter is in the mother’s care. Another small but significant group ( of youthful social security beneficiaries are those who are receiving social securi- v ty benefits as disabled workers.
