MearJ&Suun & “By Buff” In this day of everybody having so many numbers it’s hard to keep from becoming confused. We have a number at the bank, a social security number, an automobile license number, a vehicle number, a boat registration number, a fishing license number and no telling how many others. So that a local boat owner got rather confused the other day when he put on the numbers on his boat. On the card he received was his name and address with Edenton’s postal zip code number appearing after the address. In his haste to apply the numbers on his boat, this fellow seeing the zip code numbers most prominent on the card, proceeded to tack on 27932 on the boat. A friend told him he had the wrong numbers on the boat, to which the boat owner replied, “Well, that’s what was on the card I received,” and was not convinced until he pulled out the card and was shown that the 27932 was Edenton’s zip code. If anybody now wants a pickled herring breakfast they’ll have to cook it at home. For some months now the : Methodist Men’s Club has sponsored ; these breakfasts at the church each first Saturday morning in the month, but the last one of the season was held Saturday, May 5. The “boys” will have a rest Until October 6, when they will again sponsor these rather popular breakfasts. —0 For the first time in over 100 years a worship service will be held on the third Sunday in the month at Greater Welch’s Chapel Baptist Church up the county. Beginning with this month services will be held on the first and third Sundays with Preacher W. H. Davis in the pulpit, and he especially urges a large congregation Sunday to start off the new schedule of preaching in the church. 0 We have something new in Edenton and it sounds very good. A tape carillon was recently installed at Edenton Baptist Church and to say the least it brightens things up especially on Sunday morning. Os course, it’s supposed, I guess, to alert people that church services are soon to begin but then, too, it might be used to awaken some people from their slumber and remind them that they ought to be getting ready to go to church instead of being in bed. Anyway, the carillon, together with the new one on the Christian Church on the other side of town should let everybody know that it’s church time. Heard or seen anything about Watergate lately? Here’s one who hopes the mess will soon be settled for if it isn’t I’m afraid maybe even some of us in Edenton might be implicated if the investigations continue very much longer. The whole mess stinks. O : Delmas Sawyer, one of out most avid speckled perch fishermen, was telling me that several days ago he and another fellow caught over 75 speckled perch—but not around here. “Why didn't you take a picture of the fish?” I asked him. “Well,” he said, “they were too heavy to hold up long enough to take a picture.” Just learned that Mrs. Pearl M. Byrum (Mrs. George Byrum) of Edenton is now in a rest home at West Palm Beach, Fla., and without a doubt I’m sure she would be very much pleased to receive some cards or letters from her many friends in Edenton. And here’s one who hopes she is getting along very well in the rest home. Her address is Darcy Rest Home, West Palm Beach, Fla. 33406. 0 It is sort of lonesome for some of us who have enjoyed the beautiful grosbeaks which have been around for several months. But this week they vamoosed, so here’s one who misses their beauty, their ravenous appetite forsunflower seed and their boisterous carrying on while around my joint. They have gone to other parts but will no doubt be back again next fall, so I’ll save a little “dough” on sunflower seed, the price of which has gone the way of everything else. But then the bluejays are still around and they,too, like sunflower seed, only they do not get away when it as only they do not get away when it is as fast as the grosbeaks. The man who works all of his life is as lag a sap as the man who loafs all of his days. Thursday, May 17.19^3 Tfi<? Chowan Herald BOX m. BDUfTON, N. C.

Thanks to the hard work and ingenuity of the farmer, our food and fiber needs are so well met that we seldom give much thought to who makes it possible. A lot of us are probably in the same category as the city housewife who said her food comes “from the supermarket, of course!” In no other nation on the face of the earth do so many people depend on so few to provide their food and fiber needs as we do in this country. Put another way, 95 per cent of us depend on the other 5 per cent of the U.S. population to produce our food and fiber. What it boils down to is that the well-being of American agriculture is of utmost importance to each of us. We hear talk about the Congress being “urban-oriented” and not really deeply concerned about agriculture. If your Congressman isn’t thinking seriously of how he can work effectively to improve agriculture’s role in the nation’s economy, then you can be sure he’s not thinking seriously about your future well-being. Rep. Walter B. Jones is working in behalf of agriculture. All of us whether we live in a city or a small town are directly affected by agriculture. And, unless the farmer can make a decent living by selling his products for a profit in the marketplace, we’re all destined to suffer. Highway Slaughter It has been said that for $3.50 you can obtain a license to kill. It is in the form of a North Carolina drivers license. Apparently young motorists haven’t gotten the message that an automobile is actually a lethal weapon. Eighteen persons under 22 years of age will never again have the opportunity to properly respect the automobile. They were among the 24 fatilities reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles last weekend. It was the worst weekend for highway deaths since August, 1971, during which 32 persons died. Although 24 persons have been officially reported to the department for the weekend, it is known that at least four more have died from injuries received. The department’s experience in the past would indicate that two or three more will die from injuries received during this past weekend. Drinking and speeding was listed as the number one factors in casuing the high death toll. At least four of the deaths could have been prevented if seat belts had been in use. The vehicle in which these persons were killed did not strike anything. The vehicle overturned and the occupants were either thrown out or were killed by being buffeted about inside the car. In neighboring Gates County, three people died in a near head-on collision on a straight stretch of Highway 32. The vehicle being operated by an elderly couple was struck by a car operated by a young motorist whose speed was estimated at near 100 miles per hour. Adults who rationalize, hurry to the defense, ancLare critical of law enforcement officers who are successful in apprehending violators.. especially youthful offenders-contribute to the problem. It is quite too late when one’s name is recorded on the highway fatality rolls. Tax Reported Gross retail sales amounted to slO.l-million in March in the eight Northeastern .North Carolina counties where the 1 per cent local option sales tax is levied. This is just under the $10.3-million in February. t 4 This was derived from a report” issued last week by Commissioner G. A. Jones, Jr., of the State Department of Revalue. In Chowan County, net collections amounted to $12,739.55, as compared to $12,619.48 in February. ■ • Hines Given National Award NEW ORLEANS, La. - Richard N. Hines, Director of Utilities in Edenton was recognized -Wednesday by the American Public Power Association, the national service organization for publicly owned electric utilities, for his role in managing the city’s utilities.

Sessions Set , Summer school will be offered in Edenton-Chowan Schools on a tuition basis with two sessions planned if sufficient interest is shown. Supt. Eddie West said the board of education had approved the program for make-up remedial work only. Mrs. Margaret Smithson has been named director of the program.

He predicted an increase in gross swine income in the 10- county area to $25-miUion in the next few years. Parker said the income had increased from SB-million in 1965 to $lB-million in 1972. “The swine industry has been quite dynamic in the past few years,” he said. He said the market hog show has improved quality, the top hog sale in Hyde County provides a valuable pool, and the quality graded feeder pig sale in Edenton has improved marketing. “We have experienced a good growth because we have a good market,” he noted. Gordon Sawyer, Camden County extension chairman, was in charge of the program. New Careers Continued from Page 1 $24,800 for a . manpower coordinator. This is a new position.
