Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Morgan, now living
at Rutherfordtcn, were among those who
renewed their subscription to The Herald
this week. And in sending their "dough”
Mrs. Morgan enclosed the following note:
“Dear Buff and All the Gang: It’s re
newal time again. Just thinking, we’ve been
away from home two years and already
things are looking 'strange’ there. So much
progress and ' wide-awake leaders! More
power to them—and to all of you. We
think and speak of you and Kate quite
often—have said so many little prayers for
her and for you. We do wish her peace
and happiness (which she has), and days
full of friends and sunshine. This is pretty
country up here—wish you all could see the
constant change of scenic beauty from now
until November. We’re proud of our stqte
from East to West.”

Methodist women will stage a food fair
at the Methodist church Friday, September
23, starting at 10 A. M. Some of these
Methodist ladies are excellent cooks (and
I know) so that anybody wanting some
honest-to-goodness good food, call at the
church Friday morning.
o
And speaking about eating, I understand
the boys of the Chowan County Shrine Club
sold about 2,000 plates of fish at their fish
fry Saturday. They’re very grateful to
these who bought the dinners as well as
those who helped in the affair. It means
that the Chowan Club will be able to send
a substantial check to the Shrine 9 crippled
children’s hospitals—a very good cause even
if some of the eaters had a slight attack of
indigestion.*
o
As cf Wednesday at noon, the Missus
was somewhat better in Chowan Hospital.
In fact, with the aid of a walker and two
assistants, she was able to walk out of her
room into the hall and back—and appar
ently without any ill effects. It was the
first time in weeks that she set fcot on
the .floor.
o
Lee Sutton, who used to do quite a bit
of fishing up Pembroke Creek, but now
lives at Santee, S. C., dropped in the office
early this week. Friend Sutton’s heart
is not acting just right but he is able to be
about. “Sure wish I could again spend a
few days up the creek fishing,” he said as
he left the office, but I told him his old
fishing hole is about fished out. Anyway,
I don’t miss him up the creek for due to
sickness in my family, my fishing for soma
time now has gone by the board.
Aces Are Beaten
The first loss of the season and the
end of a 11-game winning streak came
for the Edenton Aces Friday night when
the Tigers of Williamston defeated them
by four points with a final score of 10-6.
The only touchdown for the Aces was
the result of a fumble by the Tigers on
" the visitors’ 14-yard line about fodr min
utes before the game ended.
The tally was made when Wayne
Spruill recovered the fumble, fullback
Jessie Morring carried the ball 13 yards
and quarterback Charles Fayton barely
pushed it over on a quarterback sneak.
Friday night on,Hicks Field, the Aces
meet the Gacos of Gates County at 8
o’clock under the direction of Coach
Marion Kirby.
Edenton led the game with a 6-3 score,
but about three minutes before the end
of the game, reserve quarterback Rai
ford came off the bench for the Tigers
and made a pass to William. On the
next play Raiford fired goalward and
Lilley made a grab at the two yard line
with one minute and five seconds re
maining.
In two tries, Bell took the ball in for
the score. This win gave Williamston
its second victory over the Aces since
1953.
Aces’ Jessie Morring was the main of
fensive player, with good backup from
Lee Leary, Blount Shepard, Tommy
Fleetwood, Wayne Spruill and Lewis
Brothers.
Open House Set
Preparation for an open house and
dedication of the addition at John A
Holmes High School was discussed am
approved by the Edenton-Chowan Board
of Education September 14.. When all
work is completed at the new bunding
a dedication service and open house will
be held.
Mrs. Elizabeth W. Byrd, ESEA-Title

own, only one other person opposed the
revamping of state law to allow unions
the right of collective bargaining with
public employees.
Earlier, on September 8, the same com
mission held a meeting where Leigh Wil
son of the N, C. League of Municipali
ties called the existing law “inoperative”;
Richard Robeson, special assistant to the
president of the University of North Ca
rolina said the “law simply does not
work except where employees are un
organized or the union is weak; and
where John Morrisey of thfe N. C. Asso
ciation of County Commissioners said
vthat with the heavy non-white represen
tation among municipal employees the
racial context of the public must be rec
ognized.
Wilson and Robeson both said the
current law provides different stand
ards for private and public employees
and questioned whether there should be
“two separate standards of economic
morality”.
Morrisey further stated that the work
ers’ goals “aren’t simply more money,
but power. And political power is a
very heady wine.”
What are members of the boards of
county commissioners and mayors and
councilmen along the Public Parade and
elsewhere in North Carolina doing to
at least keep a latch, however small, on
the gate? And don’t forget the legisla
tors who set the biennial budget.
Wilbur Hobby, AFL-CIO president,
had his guns loaded for bear Tuesday.
It will not be until the 1971 General
Assembly meets that we know what he
killed. The Hobby Show Tuesday was
both disgusting and frightening. It was
filled with three elements —black, labor
and liberal.
We, though, had our say. Here it is:
Whether public employes have a right
to form unions, bargain collectively and
resort, when necessary, to the strike as an
instrument through which to enforce their
demands is an open question.
It deserves an honest answer - . And we
presume from your presence here today
that an honest answer, not from the public
employes, nor their organizers or employ
ers, but from the people themselves is what
you are seeking.
So, we would caution you from the out
set that, as you take testimony here and
elsewhere, you attempt to discern the dif
ference between the voice of Jacob and the
voice of Esau. Do not permit the voice of
those most directly interested, those who
stand to benefit from higher pay, broader
fringes or even the joys of tranquility pur
chased at a price, dc not permit them to
drown out through mere volume or greater
repetitation the voice of the people, who
will eventually pick up the tab.
Collective bargaining by public employes,
through their unions, with public officials,
through their spokesmen, cannot be com
pared with such confrontations in the priv
ate economic sector.
In the private sector, the employer
knows his limits and can draw a line any
where he elects because he is bargaining
with his own or his stockholders’ 'money.
And his Employes, through their union, can
accept or reject at any stage short of kill
ing the goose.
But that cannot be said when public
employes sit down with public officials to
bargain—for neither side is bargaining wiiih
its own money and the sky is the limit
Indeed, there may be a mutuality of in
terests. For often, the mere the workers
draw, the more management can demand,
all to be covered by simply raising the tax
rate. 'Under such circumstances, collective
bargaining becomes simply a cozy arrange
ment with a built-in tax increase.
Such a system is bound to produce pow
erful unions, whioh, if recognized, formal
ized and accepted, can exercise awesome
control over our everyday lives. While
they deny any intention ever of striking,
the ultimate leverage in all cases is the
ceasing of work in concert, either overtly
or by some ruse. Spokesmen ifor most
public employee unions declare they will
not resort to strikes; but more and more
of them do.
We have had strikes by street and trans
portation employes, teachers and public
service people, utility and sanitation work
ers, even by firemen and policemen and
other law enforcement officers.
We must then ask what happens when
these unions strike together so that trans
portation halts, utilities cease to operate,
teachers leave the Classrooms, firemen fail

“Do not treat this ownership lightly.

Who will ransom a whole city under such
circumstances?
In contemplating created chaos of such
magnitude, it is well to remember that
union power, private or public, does not
spring full-blown from nothing. It is boro
with first recognition, it grows by a pro
cess of demands, negotiations and confron
tations. It matures with the signing of a
contract
It is a law 'olf the labor market that you
never negotiate downward. By returning
again and again with ever-widening de
mands, fed by- ever-increasing benefits,
unions attract a fuller following, achieve a
greater prestige and, finally, become more
potent and more aggressive.
Public employe unions have not yet
achieved this position of power in North
Carolina—and precisely because every au
thority* agency, institution or instrumental
ity of government is forbidden by statute
from sitting down at the bargaining table
and breaking the taxpayer’s bread with
them.
It is one thing for unions to be knocking
at the tax-paid employer’s door; it is quite
another thing for him to have to open it,
invite the union in, and sit down and work
out a contract.
Experience teaches plainly that these;
contracts are one-way streets. In states
and cities where there are recognized em
ploye unions, there are not only contrac
tural commitments not to strike, but there
are statutes against it. . Yet there are
strikes, frequent and persistent.
It is true that organized, yet unrecog
nized, public employe may strike, but the
absence of a contract frees the agency to
deal with the situation as prudence de
mands. This makes it far more difficult
for a strike against a 'public agency to suc
ceed and far easier for organized pressures
