THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1870 BUILDING FUTURE CITIZENS As reports of increasing vio lence, crime, and just plain hell raising on the part of American youth fill the news columns, so grow the complaints and criti cism of oUr schools, teachers, and educational methods. It should always be remember ed, however, that MOST of our youth today are doing very well indeed, although, unfortunately, they do not always attract as much public attention as the wrong-doers. By the same token, most of our teachers are performing very well, sometimes, it would seem, up against mounting odds. Most of our*teac)iers, also, believe in America, believe in our youth, and h|fVe confidence in the fu ture of both. Such a teacher is Dr. Max Rafferty, superintend ent of public instruction and di rector of education for the State of California. In answer to crit ics who complained that Califor nia schools were TOO patriotic, Dr. Rafferty had this to say: “There ia-a strange state of mind to be found in certain cir cles in our land today—a sort of sick campaign of whispering and inference to the effect that a pa triot is somehow an enemy of in ternational peace and goodwill, that a man who loves his country ttiust necessarily hate other coun tries, and that therefore we should s ; oft-pedal the teaching in our schgpls of the great hero stor ies out of our past, and the won derful songs and poems which breathed such unashamed love and admiration for the land which our ancestors came across so many leagues of stormy sea to transform into a nation which is today the wonder and envy of the human race. “It has been said in * recent months by a high appointed of ficial of California that the idea of America being ‘sacred soil’ is a lot of paranoiac patriotism.” “I am sure that to this gentle man the soil of his native land is not sacred, that it’s just dirt, no different from the soil of any other land. That is his privilege. “But I want to make my own position crystal clear. “America’s soil is sacred to me.” So long as we have teachers such as Dr. Rafferty, we shall lpok with confidence to the fu ture oi our youth, and of a free America. Drive Underway The annual membership campaign tor the James Iredell Association, Inc., is underway, according to Mrs. Cornelia J. Privott, president. Mrs. Jrivott said that money raised through will be spent to proceed with furnishing the/ historic home. §.he said the fumishipgs Commit tee remains active and they sue constant ly seeking appropriate pieces l of the period 1750-1825. * r* j Judfef James Iredell served as attorney general of North Carolina and associate j istice of the tX-S.

The association is a part of Historic Uecud &Se*n “By Bur Up in the Pennsylvania- Dutch country, when a family moves from one house to another it is commonly referred to as a flittin’— and that’s just what Chowan Hos pital had on Saturday—and a big one at that And this flittin’ was a feather m the hat for members of the Rescue Squad and auxiliary policemen. Promptly at 12 o’clock noon the boys started to move pa tients from the old hospital to the new one and it was done with, such dispatch and efficiency that the job was done in just about an hour and that included moving some from the old hospital over to the con valescent home and some in the convales cent home over in the old hospital. Excite ment was rampant aU Saturday morning in the old hospital as nurses gathered, packed and labeled patients’ belongings and then very systematically assigned patients when to be moved and giving them a room num ber in the new hospital. Nothing but praise is due the hospital personnel, the Rescue Squad members, auxiliary policemen and even regular policemen who directed traffic while the moving was going on. And to say the least, all the patients in the new hospital seem to be delighted with their new “home.” However, with such a splen did hospital and the wonderful hospital personnel, here’s one who senses sort of a feeling of nostalgia in “moving over.” The new hospital is much larger, more roomier and everything so-convenient and 9pic and span while in the old hospital, very much smaller, it seemed that a fellow saw more -of the nurses and a fellow didn t get lost like I do in even getting in and out of the building after the doors are locked. To sum it up, it’s sort of like moving from a small town to a large city. And even though everybody in the county has reason to be justly proud of the new hospital, the jov and satisfaction is not any greater than when the county realized a long ambition in getting the old hospital in operation af ter using the hospital on the base for a, time. A rather unique affair will be held in the National Guard army in Elizabeth City Saturday October 31, from 9 A. M. to 9 P. M., when the Albemarle Coin Club will hold a Coin Show. There will be a coin auction from 7 to 9 P. M- and two $lO gold pieces will be given away as door prizes. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Taylor of Edenton will have charge of a dealer table and Mr. Tavlor says a B U silver dollar door prize will be awarded every hour of the sale. There will be no charge for admission and Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are hopeful that many Edenton people will attend the affair. The Missus was among those to be moved into the new hospital Saturday and to say the least she is delighted with her room. However, as nice as the hospital is, she’d much rather be able to be home—and so say I and many others. Anyway, about all she has seen of the new hospital is the out side, the elevator which took her to the second floor and the hall to her room. Now she’d like to- be taken on a tour on a wheelchair to see the rest of this beautiful hospital. LUNCH PRICE BOOST * Continued from Page 1 The board approved paying $1.75 per foot for 285 feet of pipe to fill in an open ditch abutting school property if the money is available. A committee was appointed to check into the effect of the Holmes High rec reational program if the board sold, transferred or sold the Town of Edenton property surrounding the Scout hut and tennis court for the town recreational program.

The Coastal Plains Regional Com mission may be compared to the Appa lachian Commission serving parts of the states of the Appalachian Mountain Re gion. Congress has already authorized S4OO million for Appalachian highways. Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, president of Eitat Carolina University and conference chairman. Dr. Jenkins, the apostle of progress in Eastern North Carolina, set the stage for the forum by addressing an appeal to those assembled, and to-those at home, to be heard in the case of the great need for this coastal corridor highway. “We must state clearly our need, our antici pated benefits, and inform of the service they can expect. We can and will be heard. Let us fling open the doors— open them wide—so that our collective voice in unity can be heard.” till lie parade Continued from Pace 1 finding it difficult to come up with is sues. In our opinion he isn’t helping himself by jumping on our least favored morning daily of general circulation in Eastern North Carolina. Not when Roy Parker, Jr., a Northeasterner himself, has found there is still a place of objec tive reporting, leaving the editorials to those in that department. Tune Up, Gang For a community of this size there are more gopd musical groups meandering along -the Public Parade than most places.

Audiences at these clubs are young men and women serving their country at overseas military bases. They are eager for American-style entertainment at their clubs and are interested in seeing differ ent acts each week. A new group leaves from Norfolk, Va., every two weeks. During the tour, the performers will have an opportunity to do some sightseeing in Puerto Rico. To qualify, groups must be of pro fessional quality with mature, serious performers interested in furthering their careers.

Warning Issued Chowan County Forest Ranger Roger Spivey has announced that the danger of forest fires in Chowan County has significantly increased. He stated that the fall forest fire season has begun and that the occurence of forest fires may be expected to increase due to the drying of forest fuels and high winds associated with the season. Ranger Spivey explains that one fire problem unique to the season is fires ztartedpby improperly maintained elec tric fences. He urges all persons using electric fences to make 'periodic inspec tions and to look for wires low to ground and dry grass dose to wires. He also urges anyone conducting burning in or near the woods to exercise caution. He gave the following numbers for reporting forest; fires: Chowan tower, 482-4554; Edenton Fire Det*rtment, 482-2727; aid Elizabeth Chy, 335-4373- The Coastal Corridor Highway is to connect Norfolk, Va., and the Savannah, Ga., area. It will provide the coastal links with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel to Delmarva and the Metropoli tan North, as well to Coastal Georgia and Florida to the South. This primary connector highway will link the key coastal cities of North Ca rolina and South Carolina as it follows highly direct routes from one city to another. It will be a multi-lane limited access with traffic approaches and exits providing safe entrance and exists at* local points along the route. It is estimated that the benefits—to cost factor is in excess of five-to-one by economic measure. The time that will be saved by truckers as they move from Florida to Philadelphia is estimated to be four hours or more.

The relative remoteness of these coastal areas has long hampered eco nomic growth. Recent public and pri vate studies advance the recognition that all forms of economic improvement are contingent upon good transportation, es pecially highway transportation. The Coastal areas of North and South Caro lina offer a variety of economic possi bilities not yet developed, the tenor of the meeting indicated, and which can never be developed to their potential un less good highways provide accessabillty. The population explosion and its accom panying problems will soon demand pari ty from these potential areas of the coast land.
