The Chowan Herald BOX tn, EDENTON, N. C. STOSS Published every Thursday tit Edenton by The Chowan Herald, Inc., L. F. Amburn, Jr., president and general manager, 421-425 S. Broad Street, Edenton, North Carolina 27932 Entered as second-class mater August 30, 1934, at the Post Office at Edenton, North Carolina, under the act of March 3, 1870. L. F. Amburn, Jr President/Gen. Mgr. J. Edwin Bufflap. ...Editor Hector Lupton Advertising Manager E. N. Manning.. Mechanical Supt. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year (outside North Carolina) $4.50 One Year (in North Carolina) $4.16 Six Months $2.26 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24. 197~ Change Is Noted NEW YORK—Something new has been happening in Chowan County in the last 10 years. The local population has stopped getting younger. Back in 1960, for every local resident who was older than 24.9 years, there was one who was younger. That was the median age locally, as recorded via the census that was taken that year. In addition, it was found, the trend in the media age was downward, which meant that the local population as a whole was getting younger. For several years thereafter the age level continued moving in that direction but then it leveled off and finally be gan moving upward. It ended up at 28.2 years in 1970. Elsewhere in the United States, by way of comparison, the Census Bu reau’s figures indicate a median age of 27.9 and, in the state of North Ca rolina. 26.5. Various reasons are attributed to the changes that have been taking place in the age pattern. A principal one is the low birth rate that prevails. There has been a dramatic shift, in most parts of the country, in the child-bearing at titudes of the modern woman. The trend is to smaller families. The Census Bureau finds that women under 30 are having children at lower rates and are spacing them to a greater extent than did women of the previous generation. While the reports do not show the degree to which the pill and other relatively new techniques of family planning are responsible for the drop, it declares that they have “undoubtedly been a contributing factor.” Colonial To Open The grand opening of Colonial Mo tor Court will be held Friday night. The restaurant and pub have been remodeled in colonial motif with old wood, lanterns and exposed beams. Owners and managers of the estab lishment arc Warren Sondcrvan and wife, Barbara, and Ernest Kerbcr and wife, Theresa. Both couples are from New Jersey. The restaurant will be family oper ated and about nine people from Eden ton have been employed as waitresses, cooks and for various other duties. Mrs. Sondcrvan will make pastries of all types on the premises. Other spe cialties will include steaks, seafoods and pork. The restaurant will be open from 6 A. M. until 12 P. M. and the Pub, The Hayloft, will be open from 11 A. M to 1 A. M., every day except Sundays, when it will be open from 1 P. M. un til 1 A. M. The owners stated they hope to give the people a place to come with their family to have an enjoyable meal under a courteous atmosphere. They also re marked they hope they will be an asset to the town. i ' D &. 1 ■, irKr T\ fM M i • Sl2 H i HyJK® ; xy 1 ■RMPiH t jLs ~]mißtEmsh%3 lK r Hfc, I}' H Jg i j^K I I 8,1 Grand Opening Owners and managers of Colonial Motor Court will have their grand opening on Friday night New owners are (left) Ernest Kerber, Barbara Sondervan and Warren Sondervan. C^iJJearJ&Sem *% Buir Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sides, who a short time ago moved to Dickson, Tenn., are labeled “Our New Neighbors” in a large picture of them and a very complimentary story in a recent issue of the Dickson Free Press. They are pictured in Mrs. Sides’ ceramics shop, surrounded by hundreds of Mrs. Sides’ ceramic creations, and where she is now teaching a class of people who like to create beautiful figures. Appar ently this delightful couple have won the hearts of Dickson people, for they have already won a host of very fine friends and to top it off Friend Paul has been given a very substantial increase in salary by Winner Boats Company, where he is director of purchasing. And although Paul and Anita Sides like it in the Tennessee town, Anita says, “we came to Dickson three months ago from Edenton, North Carolina, ‘a sweet little town’.” o Willie E. Monds, who lives in Tampa, Fla., sent in a short piece in memory of his mother, who passed away February 26, 1971. And it was so very nice of him to add: “If you are ever in Florida, call. You have a place to stay in Tampa.” Wish I’d have known it when I was in Tampa a year or two ago, for vvhen there I didn’t know if I was going or coming. o A lot of changes are being made in The Chowan Herald back shop these days, and even in the front office new fluorescent lights have been installed. Now mavbe the next major project should be cleaning the windows. But then maybe the bill collectors might not like it, for we boys in the back shop could then see ’em coming and suddenly have business somewhere else in the building. o Next Sunday morning should be less of a burden for local Methodists, for they will not be obliged to bother making break fast for the entire family. A pancake breakfast is scheduled to be served free at D o’clock and the whole works is not only invited but urged to come out and eat. It is sort of a kick-off in connection with a study course on “The Life and Teachings of Jesus.” The only requirement is that seniors and adults remain for Sunday School—not to wash dishes—but, to hear and benefit by this very worthwhile course. Or course, Bob Hutchinson and his “cooks” will be fliopina the pancakes and toting the pancakes to those who are on hand. o W. Cecil Evans, who lives at Camden, N. J.. the other day renewed his subscrip tion to The Herald, and with his check he had this to sav: “Although I left Chowan County in 1932, I have been able to keep up with the activities of the countv and mv friends throuph the medium of vour excellent, informative paper. Every week I look forward to reading it with pleasure.” o Jack Harris no doubt rot a bellv full of mv comment about the clock on the Bank of North Carolina building. So the other day he assured me that the clock will aeain be placed on the building and “will keep time.” Jack said the whole works has been sent to Richmond, Va., to be cleaned up, repaired and anythin® else done to make it “as good as new.” Maybe that’s what it needed, for it’s been on the building for about 50 years. Lions Ba nquet Set Edenton Lions Club will observe Charter and Ladies’ Night on March 3 with a special banquet at Chowan Golf & Country Club. Plans for the banquet were discussed at the regular club meeting Monday night at Edenton Res taurant. President Caswell Edmundson also appointed a nominating committee to select a slate of officers for 1972-73. The club will not meet Monday night because of the banquet on March 3. TEENAGER FREED Continued from Page 1 hallway, where he picked up his .22 rifle and told Harris to stop and when he. did not, he shot him once, they tes tified. Capt. Harvey Williams and other of ficers from the Edenton Police Depart ment investigated the incident and plac ed Perry uuder arrest on the murder charge. public Continued from Pago 1 of Chowan commissioners, said there is no higher act of public service than that performed by volunteers, such as firemen. “We are nqL_always aware of the ser vice you render, but we do appreciate what you are doing,” he said. Frank White, chief of the department at ’ryner, credited the success of the local fire service program as being the ability of the departments to get along good together. Chief Luther C. Parks of Edenton Fare Department said people in fire service sometimes feel “we are forgot ten,” and said recognition such as given by the manufacturer “makes us aware wc arc appreciated as well as our ser vice to the community.” The value of top quality, well trained and dedicated fire service personnel was displayed several weeks ago when the local departments are credited with saving Edenton Cotton Mills from de struction. But somehow, from the atmosphere of sincereness at Monday’s banquet, we came away with the feeling that the fire and the tribute to these men was actu ally a coincidence. SECOND CONTEST Continued from Pago 1 noon. In the only other contest in Chowan County to develop prior to the deadline is for the at-large seat on the county board of commissioners. Alton Elmore and J. Gilliam Wood are seeking the seat being vacated by J. Clarence Leary, Sr. James, who is connected with a fami ly farming operation in the Weeksville section of Pasquotank County, served in the General Assembly in 1945 and 1947. In 1945 he was the youngest member of the House. James, 61, is a past president of the National Potato Council and is active in the N. C. Potato Growers and Dealers Association. He said he wasn’t aware Rep. Culpepper was going to change his mind and felt there were not enough qualified people aspiring for elective office. The candidate said he has a farm background and considers Northeastern North Carolina as basically farm-orient ed. He adds that he doesn’t have any thing particular in mind as a program for the area. He did mention that he doesn’t feel the area has received a fair share of highway funds. Mrs. Inglis opposes Morris Small, the incumbent from the Fourth Township. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Inglis have three children: Susan, 15, a student at Holmes High; Robert, 13, a student at Walker; and Frederick, 11, a student at Swain Elementary. They make their home at Somerset Farm. Mrs. Inglis is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Fred Drane of Edenton. She spent many years in Monroe where her father was an Episcopal min ister and moved to Edenton in 1954. Mrs. Inglis is very active in St. Paul’s Episcopal Church where she is a mem ber. She is presently the secretary of The Garden of Eden Club and is serving her second term on the County Depart ment of Social Services board. Mrs. Inglis is a past member of the N. C. Arts Council, where she served for three years and was active in a for mation of the Albemarle Arts Counci’ through Albemarle Area Development Association. She has done volunteer tutoring of slow learners and conducted an experi mental progranr in math and science for very bright children. Mrs. Inglis stated on Monday that she does have a child in each of the Edenton schools and has been interested in education for a long time. She re marked that she feels exciting things are happening in education and she would like to be on the board of edu cation so she can be where the action is and be in the best position to support the public schools in Chowan County. This is Mrs. Inglis’ first bid for public office. A native of North Carolina for 27 years, Mrs. Etheridge is the wife of James N. Etheridge, North Carolina manager of a Chesapeake Corp. They have seven children ranging from 24 to five years old. They five on Queen Anne Drive in Edenton. Mrs. Etheridge has been a teacher in the Edenton-Chowan school system for two years.
