Edenton, North Carolina 27932 Entered as second-class matter August 30, Z 1934. at the Post Office at Edenton, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1870. L, F. Arnburn, Jr President/Gen. Mgr. J.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year (outside North Carolina)s4.so One Year (in North Carolina) $4.18 Six Months _52.25 THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1972 public |Jararb Continued from Page 1 It is refreshing to hear people in re sponsible positions in state government admit their mistakes and direct their ef forts toward the future, rather than waste time explaining in scientific garb . age the “why’s” of a problem. As the result of a heated meeting : here late last month and cooler discus sions since, Dr. Cooper and his staff have made certain determinations which point to their responsiveness to the peo ple. And ain’t that as refreshing as cool spring water —as pure as it can be in these modern times? Right Man For Job Jack F. Harmon, be he a Democrat or a Republican, is the new Raleigh postmaster. His appointment was ef fective Saturday, ending speculation which began August 1. 1970. upon the retirement of the late D. Staton Inscoe. The Raleigh Postal Customers Coun cil has been critical oi service since the Postal Reform Act went into effect last July. Wesley Williams is manager of the Raleigh Merchants Bureau and council chairman. He and Mr. Harmon are friends of longstanding and mutual ly respect each other. Our least favorite newpaper of gen - eral circulation in Northeastern North Carolina inserted a paragraph in the announcement to the effect that the new postmaster declined to state his political affiliation. So what? When wc knew- Jack Harmon in Statesville he was a Republican—about as good a one with whom we have ever come in contact. Maybe that is be cause he didn't let the way he marked his ballot affect the efficient manner in which he went about discharging his duties; whether they be the success ful operation of a super market, as president of his civic club, as a leader in the Methodist Church, or being a devoted husband and father. As we see it. what the U. S. Postal Service has done in Raleigh is plant a friend in the ' enemy” camp. And if given a decent chance. Jack Harmon and Wesley Williams will resolve what ever differences that exist. When this happens, your mail enter ing Raleigh and moving from Raleigh will be handled in a proper manner, not by a Democrat or a Republican but by a man who enjoys the reputation as a dedicated and unbiased public serv ant, which can't be said for some news papers published in Tar Heelia. Voter Registration Books Are Open Citizens are reminded that Monday, October 9, is the last day to register for the November General Election, accord ing to the Chowan County election of fice. Persons who have moved from one precinct to another must apply for a transfer to the precinct in which they now reside. Registration for Chowan County is from 9 A. M., until 1 P. M., on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the office of Mrs. Pansy Elliott in the County Office Building on East King Street or at the Election office in the Hollowell Picked Joe Hrilowell, 11 Westover Heights, has been named Chowan County coordi nator of Jesse Helms, GOP candidate for the U. S. Senate. Hollowell this week announced the formation of a Citizens Committee for Helms here. Named to the committae were: Byron Kchayes, 113 Pembroke Circle; Dr. David Wright, Old Fish Hatchery; Rev. Paul Hawkins, Immanuel Baptist Church; W. A. Whichard, Vir ginia Road; and T. B. H. Wood, Route 2, Edenton. ' He said the purpose of the Citizens Committee for Helms is to involve Dem ocrats and Independents as well as Re publicans in efforts to elect the Raleigh TV executive to the Senate. Hollowell, a young farmer, is an ac tive member of Edenton Jaycees and has worked on many worthwhile com munity projects. M JftarJ&Seen “By Buff” It’s so nice to receive letters from former Edentonians who still remember and miss the old home town. But this week we received a letter which was not so complimentary of Edenton. William E. Sutton, now living in Mexico, has had some trouble in receiving his Herald, due to almost unlegible w r riting from the post office regarding change in address. So Friend Sutton, no doubt a little disgust ed, sat down and wrote the following letter: “Dear Sirs: 1 wrote you some weeks ago that you were not addressing the paper to me correctly. Today I received two copies after a lapse of over two months, still with the wrong address. My mailman tells me that he will not de liver the paper to me any more until it is addressed properly. The correct ad dress as you can see is above. If you cannot mail it to the right address, just don’t send it any more. You are only wasting your time. I will miss the paper even though I do get tired of reading about the phoney history and the so called progress', which you don’t have. Every ten years the population is less. It is still the same old Edenton and al ways will be. I am afraid. Hope that you will be able to get my address cor rect.” Then Frances and Leslie Morgan, out in Rutherfordton, renewed their subscrip tion to The Herald and in a brief note had this to say: “Dear Buff: Lots of sad things have happened and many good things since we last sent you our check. Edenton is certainly growing into quite a town. En closed is our check for The Herald. Will let you know when our address change's— looks quite doubtful that it will he Eden ton for quite some time. Best of luck and good fishing! P. S. Ever been fish ing for trout in a mountain stream?” Anybody have an appetite for a fish dinner? If so. please hold off until Sat urday. For on Saturday Chowan Coun ty Shrine Club will hold its sixth annual fish fry at the Boy Scout cabin, from 11 A. M. to 7 P. M. The proceeds from this affair is for the benefit of Shriners’ crippled children's hospital. So by buy ing a fish dinner you will appease your appetite ami at the same time make some contribution to unfortunate children in crippled children’s hospital. O And speaking about fishing, men are not the only ones what can catch 'em. For instance, Mrs. Carrie Earnhardt re cently won two prizes for catling the largest Spanish mackerel down along the coast, and she's very proud of her ac complishment. o Masons had a very enjoyable ladies’ night banquet at the Rocky Hock Com munity Center last Thursday night, when the Rocky Hock ladies served a slumped down good turkey dinner. And the featured music was just, as good as the food. Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Jones and their children of New Hope, present ed a program which was far better than seme of the programs heard on radio and television. Sam Long is to be compli mented for engineering such a successful ladies' night banquet. same building. Mrs. Elliott’s office is located on the second floor and the Election Office is on the first floor in the Tax Department. Mrs. George C. Hoskins, chairman and Mrs. J. M. Thorud, executive secre tary’, will be in the office during the week. They may be phoned at 482-8484, Extension 7. The county is not requir ed to have the office open full time. The hours, set by law, work on a modi fied basis. A person may register at the home of the registrar in his precinct by ap pointment. The registrar should be contacted prior to the visit. Civilian absentee voting is allowed in the General Election. Persons may apply for absentee ballots by contacting the chairman of the Election Board by mail or in person. The board may re ceive these requests starting on Sep tember 23. The deadline for applying for an absentee ballot is 6 P. M., No vember 1. The deadline for returning these ballots is 12-noon, November 4. Bloodmobile Visit The Red Cross Bloodmobile hopes to collect 100 units of blood Wednesday during a regular visit to Chowan County. Bill Norvell, Jaycee volunteer chair man, said the bloodmobile will be at Edenton Baptist Church from 11 A. M., to 5 P. M., and he encourages people in the community to support this effort to keep an adequate amount of blood available for us by area hospitals. Towns Get Bigger Powell Bill Checks The Town of Edenton, like other mu nicipalities across North Carolina, will receive a fatter Powell Bill check this month than in previous years. The Edenton check will amount to $59,839.65. Reason for the giant increase was the passage of legislation by the 1971 General Assembly which doubled the amount of gasoline tax earmarked for municipalities, from one-half cent per gallon to a full cent. Each municipality is given its share based on a formula in which population counts 75 per cent and street mileage not on the state system counts for 25 per cent. The total for the fiscal year 1971-72 in the state, which ended June 30, was $27,024,222.30 —more than double last year’s allocation of $12.5-million which was the largest previous total. Edenton reports 21.43 non-system miles. Other area municipalities participat ing in the Powell Bill distribution, the number of non-system miles and the total allocation include: Creswell, 1.58; $6,892.99; Elizabeth City, 48.95; $165,061.81; Gatesville. 1.81; $4,306.97; Hertford, 7.93; $23,- 896.29; Kill Devil Hills. 27.42; $21,- 082.77; Manteo, 2.95; $6,983.63; Nags Head, 9.71; $10,132.15; Roper, 5.04; $9,284; and Winfall, 2.58; $7,059.04. Land Is Given Continued from Page 1 the proposed park at Merchants Mill Pond in Gates County represents “unique land”, the type of which is de sired for parks. Taylor said also that it is the intent of the division to fill the educational and recreational needs of the people through an expanded network of parks. He was introduced by A. B. Coleman of Currituck County, who has agreed to donate the mill pond site for a park. At a 5 P. M., meeting, Albemarle Reg ional Planning and Development Com mission approved changes in the by laws of Area Health Education System and recommended that a Family Plan ning Task Force proposal, if funded, be handled by AHES. N. J. George was critical of the changes, saying ARPDC would end up as only a bookkeeping agency and have no control. He was also critical of the delivery of health services in the area. Macon Johnson of Camden County defended the District Health Depart ment and Howard Campbell, admini strator. W. B. Gardner, chairman, said the intent of the proposal is good. “If we turn this thing down we are only de laying them.” he said. Wesley Cullipher. executive director, said at the present time the family plan ning program is very fragmented. “The proposed plan ties all ends together and is the only region-wide plan in eight Southeastern states,” he pointed out. He predicted funding soon. Action Will Protect Continued from Page 1 he continued. Dr. Cooper was not optimistic about the river clearing up anytime soon. “Only time and fortunate circumstances of weather can do that (remove the algae),” he said. “Our efforts arc directed toward al leviating the situation in the Chowan next year and preventing it from oc curring in Albemarle Sound.” The speaker was also critical of past industrialization efforts. “We have done far too poor a job of assessing the en vironmental impact of the industries we locate in North Carolina,” he said. As the result of legislation passed in 1971, efforts on the stat?. level have improv ed. “The same thing must be done on the local level,’* he said as he promised the assistance of his department in working with local leaders. “So. the message is clear,” he con cluded. “Insofar as anyone in this room acted to bring FCAI here and did not at the same time try to exact from them absolute promises regarding pol lution abatement, he is responsible for what has happened to the Chowan. And until we begin to do differently, the fate of the Chowan waits around the corner for other rivers.” Materials Needed The Edenton-Chowan Schools are in need of second-hand sewing machines, cloth and other sewing materials that arc utilized in making clothes. These items will be used to teach girls about/ the skills required by today’s modern woman in her dual role as homemaker wage earner. Should you have a sewing machine, cloth and other sewing articles around the house, which you would like to dis card, the Edenton-Chowan Schools could make good use of them. If you ars willing to donate one or more of these items to the Edenton- Chowan Schools, please contact either Messrs. Cecil W. Fry oc Eddie West at 482-4436.
