{mere Tar Heels.
* The objections raised have now proven
'mere pablum. The State Fair is for
i North Carolinians and Commissioner Jim
•Graham and other fair officials realized
:the fences could hold just as many peo
ple during a given number of days—
-.rain or shine. The past two events have
:been the most successful in history and
•those who had only Sunday to view the
[exhibits, etc., now have a chance to do
•so.
: James Allen Graham is a 24-karat
[politician. He has a fabulous memory
: for names, dates and places. There is,
[however, not an insincere bone in his
massive body.
The farm boy from Rowan is one to
.be watched. He could one day appear
on the first page of biographical sketches
preserved for executive officials —that of
[Governor of North Carolina.
Duty Undiluted
• November 11 used to be observed as
’[Armistice Day in celebration of the end
■of World'War I. Now: it is-called Vet-
C V *l> *< •< WA- - +
:erans Day.
r Thus, the name has changed, but the
underlying purpose remains the same —
[to recognize the debt of gratitude the
■nation owes to all Americans who took
[up arms in all our wars and especially
to those who did not return.
And that goes for Korea and Viet
nam, too, where the sacrifice is just as
great even if the goal is sometimes mis
understood.
; There is a tendency in this day and
time to put a ceiling on patriotism, to
dilute the meaning of duty inherent in
citizenship, to blame individual failure
on the system and to court the clich?
makers as survivors.
But there is no such thing as instant
heaven; and, even if there were, a heav
en peopled wholly with dissenters would
be an awful place to live. Progress re
quires more than differences of oDinion.
It requires a large enough body of like
minded people to move the whole mass
forward, sometimes kicking and squeal
ing.
Success is not a mail-order product,
nor stature something that can be legis
lated. Happiness is a by-product, not
of the bottle or needle or pill, but of a
sense of accomplishment in the long
struggle upward. And honesty is the
willingness to admit that others helped.
These are values we can well keep in
mind during the week of Veterans Day.
Those who fought and died in the co
lonial wars, the revolution, the civil war
and in the thousand and one engage
ments of World War I and 11, Korea
and Vietnam made their contribution,
great or small, to the good life we enjoy
so matter-of-factly today.

Judges Picking the winners of the community achievement
contest were, from left, M. R. Coleman, Bertie County Extension
Agent; Miss Linda Peele, VEPCO representative from Elizabeth
City; and Willie Killian, VEPCO representative from Williamston.
They were in the area last Wednesday.
Heard & Seen
“By Bus
&
Though in a very weakened condition,
the Missus is s-till putting up a valiant
fight at home. Os course, she does not
remember the many messages sent to her
by so -many friends, but they are read to
her. Often times a smile trickles through
though her .face reflects pain in her body.
One of these brief messages which I per
sonally will always treasure, written by
a very sweet Edenton lady, reads as fol
lows:
“Dear Mrs. Bufflap: I wonder whether
you know how much your example of faith
and courage and steadfastness means to
Edenton. Nobody can think of it without
being strengthened and cheered. You have
the admiration and love of the whole com
munity, and I am sure the prayers of all
who pray.”
Though the line is getting thinner, local
war veterans marched down Broad Street
to the Confederate Plaza Wednesday morn
ing to pay their respects to those who sac
rificed their lives for their country in
previous wars. There were not so many
in the line of march, in a slight drizzle, but
their reverence .for the departed is not to
be measured by the gradually diminishing
number who remain to pay their respects.
o
With the changing of the seasons, it may
not be long before Mrs. George P. Bvrum
will be coming back to her home in Eden
ton from her home in West Palm Beach,
Fla. In a brief note with her renewal to
The Herald, Mrs. Byrum had this to say:
“Hello. Mr. Bufflap. How goes it? I enjoy
The Herald and here is the payment. Sorry
to be so long. Hope to get back one of
these days and see all my friends there.
No place like good ole Edenton.” And I’ll
second that last remark.
o
E. W. (Shim) Holmes, an Edenton native
who has been living at Chappaqua, N. Y.,
.for a good many years, renewed his sub
scription .to The Herald and added this
note:
“Dear Buff: It is great to see Edenton go
ahead. I was very much interested in the
hospital addition. I hope sometime in the
very near future to return to Edenton for
a visit to see some of my friends. Here’s
hoping your wife will soon be better and
that she can return home.”
o
Then Mrs. Delsie Holland of Norfolk
sent this brief letter:
“Dearest Buff: Really do enjoy my Cho
wan Herald. It brings back a lot of mem
ories. For the last several months I’ve
watched for reports on Kate, who has been
an inspiration to my huband and I. Please
tell her that we will continue to pray for
her and you. I understand the Chowan
Kitchen printed a recipe for peanut pie.
T.f anyone has a copy of this, I’d like very
much to have it."

Areas Are Judged
Oak Grove and Ryans Grove com
munities won first place in their cate
gories in the judging of community ac
complishments last Wednesday and
therefore have an opportunity to be
judged in the area contest.
The contest was sponsored by the
Chowan County Extension Service and
three out-of-town persons were the
judges.
Oak Grove won first place in the
category of large communities and
Ryans Grove for small communities.
Ten communities in Chowan County par
ticipated.
The area winner will be announced
at the Albemarle Area Development
Awards Banquet to be on December 4.
Gov. Bob Scott will be the speaker for
the occasion.
The communities were judged on home
improvement, community improvement,
youth work and increased income.
Judges were Miss Linda Peele of
VEPCO in Elizabeth City, Willie Killian
of VEPCO in Williamston and M. R.
Coleman, Bertie County Agricultural
Extension Agent.
Eight of the 10 communities that en
tered the contest won blue ribbons and
the other two received red ribbons for
achievement.
MAYOR BYRUM
Continued from Page 1
Mayor Byrum stated the Vietnam vet
erans seldom make news, and no one
calls them heroes, but yet they have
given up their lives for us and our coun
try.
“Today, we must not only pause to
honor our veterans but must also rea
lize the problems of our returning vet
erans from Vietnam. These men have
left their families and jobs to serve and
fight for our country. This coming year
one million will return to civilian life,
and between 30 to 40 thousand will re
turn to North Carolina. These men and
women will need jobs and the U. S. De
partment of Labor and the local enT
ployment offices will give full assistance
to these veterans, but each of us must
also help in any way we can. Ask your
self, says the Mayor, ‘Can we ever re
pay in full the debt to the veterans of
this nation?’ ”.
In closing he commented, “Our vet
erans have served their country well, it
is only right that we serve them as well.”
GRAHAM PRAISES
Continued from Page 1
in the state. The results have been
something in which everybody concerned
with Tar Heel agriculture can take
.jiride.”
1 “Hardly a county, of the 19 repre
sented here, is not directly affected by
watershed work. Os 17 projects, some
multi-county and some single, 10 have
been completed covering 282,256 acres.
When all 17 have been approved and
completed, the watershed area will total
654,917 acres,” stated the speaker.
In closing Graham remarked, “Your
work is voluntarism at its finest; you
want to get a job done. You are more
interested in solid accomplishments than
ih personal glory.”
J. C. Dail of Greene County was rec
ognized and presented a plaque for be
ing the Conservation Fanner of the
Year.
In the final portion of the meeting,
area officers were elected. Elected were
Lloyd C. Bunch, chairman; Arch J.
Flanagan, vice-chairman; and A B.
Etheridge, secretary-treasurer.
