Moore Will Speak
At Co-Op Dinner
4
Carmel Moore of Laurel, Del., a co
operative market manager, will be guest
speaker at the annual stockholders
meeting of Chowan Cooperative Pro
duce Exchange. The meeting will be
held at 7 P. M., tonight (Thursday) at
Rocky Hock Community Center.
S. C. Layton, president, said the
meeting is not limited to stockholders
and all vegetable producers and buyers
are encouraged to attend.
The market experienced considerable
growth in 1971—the first year it operat
ed with a full-time manager. “Three
times as much produce was sold through
the market in 1971 as was sold in 1970,”
Layton points out. “I believe most will
agree that the market was able to gen
erate good prices for the produce that
was offered.”
Chowar Cooperative Produce Ex
change last year received a grant and
loan from the Office of Economic Op
portunity, through the N. C. Rural Fund
for Development.
CANDIDATES SPEAK
Continued from Pago 1
presided. Wallace Evans, Chowan
County AADA chairman, was in charge
of arrangements and James C. (Pete)
Dafl, committee member, was in charge
of tickets. There were 181 people pres
ent with representation from each of
the 10 counties in Northeastern North
Carolina.
Amburn, while disappointed that
more candidates could not work the
meeting into their schedule, said it was
a successful event and one which gave
people in leadership positions in the
area an opportunity to get to know the
various candidates better.
Candidates not present, but who sent
representatives, were: Hargrove (Skip
per) Bowles and Jim Hunt. Dr. Regin
ald Hawkins had informed the commit
tee earlier that he would be unable to
attend.

"By Buff"
My comment about the clocks in town was
reason for me to be called to the Court
Mouse one day last week. The clock on
the old building was “off key” a few days
which was caused by the big hands getting
caught and not due to the mechanism op
erating the clock. In fact Glenn Perry
and I climbed up the stairs to the clock
and, though of some age, the clock works
look like brand new due to the care taken
by Friend Glerih. Then, too Glenn has
added some contraptions of his own in
vention which make for a perfect operat
ing clock. In fact, it appeared to me to
be almost as complicated as The Herald’s
typecasting machines, but Glenn is well
versed with every angle and has it under
control. I didn’t know it, but Glenn has
been caring and overseeing the clock for
a long time and he is to be commended for
the job he’s doing. In fact, I’ve been told
that he’s sort of a handy man around the
Court House, as well as the county office
building, in the course of Which he has
saved the county quite a few pennies.
o
Ralph Van Matre has a lengthy letter to
the editor in this week’s Herald. It has
to do with long range planning, especially
in connection with the possible construc
tion of a new Court House. Regarding
parking, Mr. Van Matre suggests clearing
the entire , block bounded by Broad, Queen,
Church and Court Streets to create an
ample parking area. I don’t know if ever
or when this idea would be carried out,
but if it is, there’s at least one who’ll put
up a dickens of a howl—and Mr. Van
Matre would, too, if he happened to live
where I live.
o
It looks like times are changing in seme
respects. As a youngster, whenever a
Methodist preacher had dinner at oyr
house, my mother always made sure she
prepared chicken in some sort of fashion,
for she said all preachers have a weakness
for chicken. - But the other night I had
three Methodist preachers as my guests
for the evening meal (nope, I didn’t cook
it) and we went out to a restaurart. And
much to my surprise, though chicken was
on the menu, nary a one of ’em ordered
chicken.
o
Then on the other hand some things do
not change very much. 'For instance, I
served on Town Council for 30 years and
it’s no telling during that time how many
times the dog problem popped up at Coun
cil meetings, and still the problem has not
been solved. Now. I see that on the Town
Council’s agenda at the last meeting the
moss-covered dog problem was again dis
cussed. The Councifcnen agreed that they
felt there is a need for a dog ordinance
and that it should be enforced. That’s well
and good—but they better be darn careful
whose dog they kill. The dog problem is
a hard nut to crack. It’s been tried many
times, but here’s hoping the present mem
bers of the will find a solution. '
Hec (Lupton and his wife are sojourneying
in San Diego, Calif., and on a postcard to
The Herald Gang he wrote: a
great time. The weather is just perfect.”
But he hasn’t much on us in this neck of
the woods, for the weather here lately has
been mighty little less than perfect. In
cidentally, the Luptons left Saturday for
a trip to Kauai and Honolulu. I’m ex
pecting a card from Hec saying, "The gals
are ‘bootiful’.”
o
It’s that time of year when a lot of us
have been receiving catalogs from nurs
eries and seed houses. But Wouldn’t it be
wonderful if the flowers and vegetables
came up to catalogs’ descriptions and look
ed like the pictures in the catalogs?
o
Well, more and more of the “boys” are
joining the ranks of whisker growers for
Edenton’s 250th anniversary. Os course,
some are making more progress than oth
ers, for Billy Gardner and James Bond are
about “ripe.” But then I asked Mayor
George Akna Byrum at the Rotary meet
ing last Thursday if he was going to grow
a beard for the event “Why, certainly,’
he replied, “can’t you see it?” Well, I put
on my specks and sure enough I could see
a little hair over his chin and cheeks. Os
course, this whisker comment is sort of
“sour grapes” on my parL for I couldn’t
grow a beard or mustache even if I
wanted to.
C. Y. Parrish, Sr.
Taken In Death
Carey Yates Parrish, Sr., Route 2,
Edenton, died in Chowan Hospital Mon
day night following an illness of three
years. Mr. Parrish was 82.
He was a prominent Chowan County
farmer.
A native ot this county, Mr. Parrish
was born May 5, 1889, son of the late
Andrew A., and Mary Ward Parrish.
He was married to Mrs. Beulah Moore
Parrish, who survives.
Also surviving are four sons: Frank
E. Parrish of Virginia Beach, Va.; and
Ralph E., Yates, and Jimmie M. Parrish,
all of Edenton; and 12 grandchildren.
He was a member of Edenton Baptist
Church.
Funeral services for Mr. Parrish were
held at 3 P. M., Wednesday at Colonial
Funeral Home with Rev. Robert E. Gray
officiating. Burial was in Beaver Hill
Cemetery.
Pallbearers were C. Y., 9. Jerry,
Frankie, Lloyd and Andrew Parrish, Jr.
Colonial Funeral Home was in charge
of arrangements.

because of the great need for Red Cross
services.
This resulted in a meeting of repre
sentatives from civic clubs and public
agencies and Mr. Jackson’s recommena-*
tion for a strong board of directors and
rigid organization, being adopted.
The group chose Thomas M. Surratt,
administrator of Chowan Hospital, as
new chapter chairman. Their choice
was a wise one, for we know few people
with Mr. Surratt’s • ability to not only
organize, but to motivate people into
public service.
The Chowan County Chapter, Ameri
can Red Cross, then is still in capable
hands.
It does not, however, speak well for
the community when worthy organiza
tions, which operate for the public good,
must continuously face crisis, situations,
when the ox has to get so mired in the
ditch; when threats of pull-outs must be
made; before anyone considers the noise
more than crying in the wilderness.
To enjoy continued Success in pro
jects, programs and services indicative
of a well-balanced community; to pro
vide a better place in which to live,
work and play; to maintain a reputa
tion of being the hub of the Albemarle
Area, more input is needed from those
who, in the past, have been just going
along for the ride.

Food To Migrants
Economic Improvement Council, Inc.,
has entered into a contractual agree
ment with thfe N. C. Council of Church
es Migrant Project to administer emer
gency food service to migrants and sea
sonal farm workers.
This was announced by Wilbur G.
Pierce* ESC executive director, follow
ing a - conference here.
The objective of the program is to see
that the nutritional needs of migrant
and. Seasonal farm workers are met.
Funds may also be used for developing
and implementing projects designed to
assist the target groups in solving their
own problems.
The program will be supervised by
Mrs. Maggie Griffin, nutritionist on the
EJ.C. staff.
The major focus of this program will
be to work closely with each Depart
ment of. Social Services in meeting farm
workers’ needs for food assistance.

imtion programs. Because emergency
food money can be used only when no
