•trust on the property in question which
jiad to be cancelled before he could or
jder the private sale. There were many
Alternatives given, the easiest being get
ting the one who put the deed of trust
»n to take it off
-
: Necessary papers were then sent to the
|jarty in Louisiana so the matter could be
jcleared. He was personally contacted
by this writer and it was impressed upon
pirn the urgency in the matter. He exe
cuted the documents, returned them to
Edenton and on September 29 the deed
jof trust was cancelled,
j That same day a copy of the executed
documents along with a new deed was
jjhand-carried to the trustee in Rocky
j-Mount, who insured us the referee would
■isign the order the following day. A week
jipassed and he, the referee, is still “con
sidering” the matter.

jupon which the units will be built on

: It is not our intent to embarrass any
tone. The citizens of Edenton, however,
•deserve an explanation as to why an au
thority, organized nearly three years a»»o
•hasn’t turned a spade.
: The primary reason is that a referee
land/or trustee in the Baer bankruptcy
•matter are holding the shovel.
;2/Vo Time To Watch
: This is Fire Prevention Week. Eden
: ton firemen have a new color TV to
J watch but seem to have had little time
' to enjoy it as there has been more ac
tion than prevention.
• The department has answered four
: calls within the first three days of this
|week. Two of them resulted in heavy
■ losses.
Firemen are hopeful, however, that
: their luck will be better Saturday’after
: noon about 3 P. M., when a parade
•through downtown Edenton is planned.
:The parade, according to Fire Chief
| Luther C. Parks, will consist of fire ap
paratus from surrounding departments.
[ At last count, 15 units were lined up
: for the parade with 37 firemen from out
: of-town scheduled to attend. Jhe equip
ment will be on display at the fire sta
tion immediately following the parade.
The color TV in the station is the
; result £gf a campaign along the Public
■ Parade for individuals and businesses
: to pay tribute in this manner to Chief
! W. J. Yates, who recently retired. Funds
i from the volunteer firemen’s fund were
j also used.
The last in a rash of fires set at 10:15
!P. M., Tuesday when a small frame
j house on Highway 32 south was com
! pletely destroyed. It was valued at
j $3,00& owned by Rosa Lyons and oc
cupied by Bessie Pike.
At 6:20 P. M., Monday, a peanut dry
| ing shed on the Thomas Francis farm,
lon Mexico Road, burned. The fire ap
j parently started in a pickup truck load
i ed with cotton since the dryers were not
j working, according to information given
: firemen. Loss to equipment and build-
I ing was set at more than $5,000.
Sunday afternoon firemen were called
; to Edenton Municipal Airport where a
\ brush fire started when a light plane
crashed.
Shortly after noon Tuesday a leak in
a hot water heater caused a broom to
"catch The in a home on South Oakum
Street. These was no damage.

“By Buff ’
i?
Mrs. Mary Eliza (White) Wilkins, a na
tive Edentonian now living in Suffolk, Va.,
was among the many who renewed a sub
scription to The Chowan Herald last week.
With her check, Mrs. Wilkins had this to
say: “Dear Mr. Bufflap—Enclosed is check
for the renewal of The Chowan Herald.
This is somewhat of a tradition in my fam
ily, as my mother started this years ago as
a birthday gift which I received every week
for a whole year. What a wonderful way
to be remembered! Since the passing of
both my mother and father (Mr. and Mrs.
J. Frank White), I don’t get down there
too often but I still enjoy reading about
the home town. Hope this finds your wife
much improved and back in the swing of
things. My best regards to you both.”

It will not be long now until the No
vember 3 election, so 'that all who wish to
cast a ballot in the election should make
sure their names are on the proper regis
tration books. This, of course, affects those
voters who have moved from one precinct
to another since they last voted—and those
who have become old enough to vote. It
also applies to those who have moved to
Edenton and have resided here long enough
to vote. So, don’t wait until you go to the
polls on November 3 and find out that you
are not entitled to vote in that precinct—
and it will be too late to qualify in 'any
other precinct.

Due to chasing back and forth from
Chowan Hospital and Bud Amburn crowded
with news this week, this column must of
necessity be very short this week. A re
port from the hospital is that the Missus
had some bad days this week, but as of
Wednesday at noon she was feeling some
what better and was far more cheerful than
during the previous days of the week.

dent and manager of the Edenton office.

Big Day Set For Hospital On Sunday; Rates Approved
Continued from Page 1
the new hospital, a supportive plan also
was being developed for the present hos
pital and Convalescent Unit to develop
a total health care delivery system.
These plans are being culminated with
the opening of the new hospital.
The health care delivery system in
Chowan County will include a method of
caring for patients according to their
physical, nursing and medical require
ments. The new hospital will house in
tensive care and acute care facilities and
staff. The present hospital will have
facilities and staff to care for those per
sons with less acute needs. The present
Convalescent Unit will have facilities and
staff to case for patients who are es
sentially able to be up and require only
limited nursing and medical attention —
basically those nearly ready to be dis
charged.
This is one of the only hospital-health
care facilities in the entire area including
the state of North Carolina, that can ren
der this varied a level of care under the
same administration, nursing and medical
staff.
What does this mean to the individual
requiring hospitalization? It means that
if a patient requires more than the aver
age stay for hospitalization, for exam
ple—more than seven to 10 days his
physician along with the nursing staff
and the patient can decide and elect to
use the level of care required for his
condition. A patient who may require
30 days of hospitalization could, upon
his physician’s order, be cared for in the
intensive care and acute care units of
the new hospital, be transferred to the
present hospital for less acute care, then
to the present Convalescent Unit for the
final stage of hospitalization. If this
plan were followed, the patient would
end up paying between S2OO and S3OO
less for his period of hospitalization than
he currently has to pay in the present
hospital.
This plan lias been carefully consider
ed and budgetary requirements calculat
ed to establish a rate structure for the
three units of Chowan Hospital to give
the greatest benefit to all patients re
quiring hospitalization. The Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees, at
a meeting this week, established the fol
lowing rate structure:
A. Intensive Care and Coronary Care
Units SBO per day.
B. Private Beds - New Hospital - S3B
per day (additional $1 per day for
shower).
C. Semi-private Beds - New Hospital
$33 per day.
D. Fediatric Beds - New Hospital -
Light Plane Crash
A fire in Windsor Woods was ignited
Sunday when an airplane piloted by H.
Allen Corbin, 25, of Voorheesville, N. Y.,
stationed at the Norfolk Naval Station,
attempted to make a landing at Eden
ton Municipal Airport.
About three minutes from landing, a
radio call from the pilot was made to
the Edenton air control but the pilot was
not heard from since.
Approximately 45 minutes later George
Lewis was running his dogs at the air
port when he saw the plane on its nose.
Lewis then went to see if he could
assist the pilot and the pilot was com
plaining of back injuries and had facial
cuts.
Lewis took the pilot to the airport
and from there Jimmy Ricks took Cor
bin to Chowan County Hospital where
he was later transferred to Norfolk af
ter being examined by Dr. Richard
Hardin.
As Corbin came in for the landing he
was too low and hit a power line that
caused a pole to break igniting the fire,
it was learned. At the time of the fire,
no one knew what was the cause.
