name. The “haves” are not important,
however.
We have peopie who think progres
sive. We have people who can reason
together. We have people who accept a
challenge for what it is and go about
getting a job done rather than dwell on
it until they wear it • at.
We have, here in the hub of the Albe
marle, true North Carolinians. We are
a people-conscious area, one which gets
things done in snr of the things we
don’t have.
While Gov. Scott here we hope we
will take a good lo . at what we have
accomplished and a even stronger look
at what is abort a happen. His ad
ministration has gotten the Edenton by
pass and general improvements to U. S.
17 out of the conference room and either
onto the drawing board or into the field.
From the way we read the maps
which project the new Coastal Freeway,
highway experts are about to defeat a
portion of these progressive actions. This
freeway needs to follow U. S. 17 from
Virginia down through Elizabeth City.
Furthermore, it needs to continue to 'fol
low U. S. 17, via the Edenton by-pass
and not way out across Albemarle Sound.
Gov. Scott will be talking to an or
ganization, while poverty oriented, has
done much in the field of total develop
ment, including transportation. Eden
ton’s John A. Mitchener, Jr., has played
a major role in this respect.
The AADA has showed signs of chang
ing directions and becoming more in tune
with its name —“area development.” It
is therefore entirely fitting that Gov.
Scott, a total development advocate, be
the speaker in Edenton, a total develop
ment-minded community.

Meanwhile, arrangements are being
made to employ temporary livestock in
spectors in the area. They will assist
in surveillance of breeding herds, inspec
tion of feeding and breeding swine prior
to shipment, inspection of garbage feed
ing operations, and investigation of any
sick animals found or reported.
Cleaning and disinfecting of trucks
hauling swine to slaughter will be
handled by packing plant employees un
der the supervision of the U. S. Vet
erinary Meat Inspector. In addition, a
herd owner reporting system is planned
to operate through county agents.
Pete Thompson, Chowan County ex
tension chairman, has praised the high
degree of cooperation displayed by state
federal teams and farmers. He said this
is one reason hog cholera eradication
efforts in the area had succeeded.
At a recent meeting in Chesapeake,
state and federal animal health officials
discussed remaining problem areas. They
are: the pregnant syndrome, garbage
feeding, and importation of infected
breeding and feeding swine.
Interstate and intrastate regulations
on the movement of feeder and breeder
swine in formerly quarantined areas of
the two states will remain in force to
preclude importing or exporting of the
disease.
It has been indicated the problem area
in Virginia and North Carolina should
be completely cleaned up by June, 1971.
if no large outbreaks occur in the interim.

“By Buff”
r jk
That in the midst of life there is death
was again demonstrated just the other day
when the life was suddenly snuffed out of
a sweet very young lady, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Pat Flanagan. Though in my
case, except for a miracle, death was im
minent for quite a while, in the Flanagan
death it was so very sudden and unex
pected. However, we must remember that
the Book tells us that “it is appointed unto
man once to die” and that no one knows
the hour. Life is so full of mysteries that
we do not understand, but it is comfort
ing to know that it is His will that must
be done and that all things worketh to
gether for good for those who love the
Lord. With so many friends who have ex
tended their sympathy for me, I want to
join the many friends who, too, have ex
pressed their sympathy and condolence to
the Flanagan family.
o
Which reminds me of a brief poem sent
to me by William and Marie Chesson.
OUR SINCERE SYMPATHY
Remember you are net alone,
God watches over all.
He sees our needs, He knows our hearts,
He answers to our call,
He strengthens us when we are weak;
When courage is almost gone
He comforts us in His own way,
And helps us carry on.
o
And another timely poem by Winifred
S. Bradley follows:
THE NEW BIRTH
Oh it’s springtime and there’s joy in my
her at today;
I’ve found nature’s secret to share along
life’s way.
In discovering just how all creation does
begin,
I’ve learned that nature and I are in a
maner quite akin.
Out of death comes life: the saga begins
to unfold,
Bach gives up life for another—wondrous
to behold!
From the tiniest little insect to the strut
ting turkey cock,
The story continues onward until you
find the Rock.
The similarity there continues, in that each
man must die;
Yet, in his external appearance, he lives
on, not knowing why.
His spirit, like a tree in December, has
lest the living leaf,
With starkness and soul shriveled, a feel
ing like unto grief.
But, oh, dear friend, I said, until you find
the rock,
This makes the glorious difference, God’s
word you cannot mock.
“I am come that they might have life”
Jesus promised to all.
And by God’s grace I know it’s true, I’ve
heard His call.
Then came that deluge of tears when the
dregs of me flowed down.
I was cleansed with Jesus’ blood for new
life in me to abound.
Now, dear friend, have you learned of
God’s way o’er all the earth?
The plan is that first we must die before
we may know the new birth.
This is a reminder that the Men’s Club
ci* the Methodist Church will hold another
pickled herring breakfast at the church
Saturday mornine. Breakfast will be serv
ed from 7 to 9 o’clock and the “cooks” and
“waiters” will be on hand to see that
everybody gets enough to eat. Just put a
buck on the plate and eat all you want.
o
On Monday night, December 7, the Al
bemarle Choral Society and College of the
Albemarle will present another Christmas
concert at Edenton Baptist Church. This
will rot be like seme of the so-called
“music” we hear over radio and television,
but rather a Drogram of inspiring real
music which nobody should miss.
o
And speaking about wholesome enter
tainment. recently a large group of young
neorle from various churches gathered in
the local Methodist Church and presented
a program under the direction of Rov As
kew of Elizabeth Citv which delighted
everyone present. With more of such
groups of teenagers engaged in this kind
of activity, there should be little reason
for so much unrest among this fine group
ci* young Americans.
Building Activity
Six building permits, totaling $62,750
in construction costs, were issued last
month by the Town of Edenton. This
is contained in the monthly report of
activities by Sam Long, building inspec
tor.
The permits included one for moving
a dwelling, two for repair and addition
to residences, and three new residences.
During the past month, Long conduct
ed 72 inspections.

Elmore Promoted
In Belk Group
Alton G. Elmore, manager of Belk
Tyler in Edenton for nearly nine years,
has been promoted to the post of
merchandise manager at the firm’s Golds
boro store. He will work with Ed Hunt
er, manager, who was recently trans
ferred fom Williamston.
At. the same time it was announced
that George Moore, assistant manager of
Belk Tyler in Ahoskie would move to
Edenton to replace. Elmore. Moore
earlier was in Williamston and has been
with the company for 20 years.
These and other changes within the
Belk Tyler group were brought about
by the retirement of Sam Hocutt of
Goldsboro, who was with the company
for SO years. His son, Sam, Jr., has
been named manager in Williamston.
The firm’s Goldsboro store is the sec
ond largest In the 16-store group.
The changes are effective January
10, 1971.
Elmore has been a leader in civic,
community and church activities since
he came to Edenton in February, 1962,
from Rocky Mount. He is a past presi
dent of the Edenton Chamber of
merce and is holder of the Jaycee Dis
tinguished Service Award.

Mrs. Harrell, 482-3720 for training and
general instruction.
Additional volunteer workers are bad
ly needed for evenings and weekends,
according to Mrs. Earnhardt. Those in
terested are asked to contact the chair
men.
Adult Course Set
A college transfer course, General
Psychology 201, will be offered in Eden
ton by the College of the Albemarle dur
ing the winter quarter, 1970-71.
The class will meet each Monday

as a motivated person with attitudes,
emotions, needs and desires; and man as
a thinking, imagining, reasoning, learn
ing person.
Survey Successful
Miss Barbara Wells, project assistant
for the N. C. Association for Retarded
Children, reports that response to the
survey to locate inactive professionals
interested in future work with the men
tally retarded has been very successful.
There have been 350 registration
blinks sent to the Raleigh office from
Northeastern North Carolina and they
are still coming in. Those who complete
registration forms are sent a checklist
of ways in which they may help the
retarded.
Miss Wells explained that identifying
these inactive professionals will assist in
the establishment of programs for the
retarded.
School Lunchroom Prices Increase J
One day after returning from the
Thanksgiving holiday break, many stu
dents in Edenton-Chowan Schools faced
a five-cent hike in lunch prices.
The board of education recently ap
proved a new policy agreement with the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, effec
tive Tuesday. Under the old policy the
paid lunch price was set at a level that
would give the unit an advantage of a
high reimbursement rate from the USDA.
The reimbursement rate will be lowered
under the new policy and this necessi
tates a price increase for paid lunches.
The new price is 30 cents for ele
mentary lunches and 35 cents for high
school lunches.
“The school food service program is
a very important part of the school
days,” according to Supt. Bill Britt. He
