JJearJ&Sem » BufT Some resemblance of a tornado struck Edenton Thursday night and while considerable damage was done in some parts of town, we were very fortunate in that no injuries or casualties resulted. But even at that, weren't we very lucky when we read in : the newspapers and hear over radio and television about the tornadoes and floods which have wreaked so much damage and loss of lives in so many parts of the country and world? 0 This is Soil Stewardship Week, when attention is called to care and preservation of our soil and natural resources. Here's one who is doing just that very thing in my backyard little "farm." Six tomato plants have been egged on by fertilizer and surrounded by marigolds to combat the nematoids as per Charlie Overman's suggestion) so that my "land” is being "preserved." But I still have some doubts about my tomato crop, for even now it looks as though the devilish cats are scratching around the soft ground at the tomato plants and they’re not digging to find the nematoids. O With the Watergate mess still in the a >ood question these days t<-;. an intelligent answer, is: "How are filings in Washington?” And w hat has become of the old-fashioned man who believed that great wisdom was to be found in the nation’s capital?" O ■lust a little item picked up the other da> "Trading at home, whenever possible, is sound policy. The dollar that stays around (night come back.” With June just around the corner, here’s an appropriate poem sent in years ago by Rev. Walter E. Isenhour of Taylorsville: A PERFECT DAY IN JUNE Walking in the golden sunlight Os a perfect day in June. Nature sweetly smiles around me With the Infinite in tune. Till my heart is thrilled and raptured At the beauty I can see. And the thought that God in Heaven Makes it all for you and me. Many kinds of flowers blooming Through the valleys, o’er the hills, Greet the sunshine in their splendor While the air their fragrance fills. Thus inspiring nature lovers Who admire God’s charming art, (living poets theme for writing Poems that may joy impart. Music from the many songsters— Birds that fit from tree to tree— Is a pleasant part of nature That to ev’ryone is free. And there is a note of gladness In the songs of merry birds That the artist cannot picture, Nor the writer paint in words. Farmers plowing, sowing, reaping Through the country far and wide. Is a scene (hat greets the tourist As they o’er the highways glide; And the odor sweet from meadow With its new-mown hay at noon Meets us as we work or travel On a perfect day in June. Wood Selected George Wood of Camden has been named to an eight-year term on the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina. Selected by the N. C. Senate, Wood’s term begins July 1. Lt Gov. James Hunt of Wilson was forced to break a 25-25 deadlock, his first tie-breaker in t he current session of the General Assembly. His vote favored Wood, a former legislator. Also selected by the Senate were: Mrs. Hugh Morton of Wilmington, John Winters and Hugh Cannon, both of Raleigh. Bond Sales Good Sales of Series E. and H. Savings Bonds in Chowan County during the month of March were SIO,IOO. January-March sales totaled $38,197. First quarter sales represent 26.7 per cent of the county’s goal of $143,000, according to R. Graham White, county volunteer chairman. The Chowan Herald BOX 307, BOINTON, N. C. 3799! Published every Thursday at Edenton by The Chowan Herald, Inc., L. F. Amburn, Jr. president and general manager, 421-425 South Broad Street, Edenton, North Carolina 27932. Entered as second-class matter August X, 1934, at the Post Office at Edenton, North Carolina, under act of March 3, 1170. L. F. Amburn, Jr.. President-Gen. Mgr S. Edwin Bufflap Editor Hector Lupton Advertising Manager E. N. Manning Production Supt. Subscription Rales One year (outside N.C.) *4.50 One Year (In N.C.) $4.16 Six Months (outside N.C> *2.2S Six Months (In N.C.) *2.34 public parade Continued from Pago 1 10-county Albemarle Area were charged with violating the Tar Heel “anti-litter” law. Os this number, 24 were found guilty of violating the litter law, while 921 were found guilty statewide. There were no arrests along the Public Parade for violation of this law. Neither were there any in Tyrrell County. Currituck and Dare counties each recorded five arrests and a like number of convictions. There was a single arrest in Perquimans County but the defendant was not convicted. “There is an obvious difference between the number of arrests made for littering each year and the large numbers of persons which we know litter our highways by the tons of trash left behind,” stated Col. Edwin Guy, State Highway Patrol commander. Col. Guy points out that the law prohibiting littering is very hard to enforce. “Because of the extreme difficulty in bringing these violators to trial, the State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with the N. C. Beautification Program, is initiating a citizens participation program to encourage persons not to litter,” says Col. Guy. Beginning immediately, citizens of the state are asked to report any violations of the littering law. When such a violation is witnessed, the person should write down: the vehicle license number, the time and location of the violation, and a short description of the violation. This information should then be sent to the N. C. Beautification Program, Administration Building, West Jones Street, Raleigh, N. C. 27603. The letters reporting the violation must be signed, but this information will remain confidential, according to Col. Guy. Letters will be sent to the owner of the car reminding him of the law and asking his cooperation in helping keep North Carolina “clean and green”, by the troop commander of that area. This must be a peoples movement to be effective. It can result not only in our roadsides being more attractive but the state treasury being a little fatter. Pror/ress On Interstates While Interstate Highways are not in existance along the Public Parade or to any great degree in Eastern North Carolina, it is interesting to note the progress being made on the system. North Carolina has an allocation of 841.6 miles. As of May 15, there were 529.9 miles open to traffic. This represents 70 per cent of the total. Another 170.6 miles are either currently under construction or in various stages of right-of-way acquisition. This leaves 78.1 miles for the Republicans to dole out. Total construction cost to Janaury 1973, was $499-million with an additional S9B-million being spent on engineering and right-of-way. This includes $73- million of state matching funds. It doesn’t take a very sharp pencil to figure that it is. costing about sl-million per mile to build Interstate Highways. And this is just another area in which Eastern North Carolina didn’t even get a “fair share.” ' Support Continutd from Pago I and Water Conservation Committee and that the law calls for erosion and sediment control to be submitted to the local soil and water conservation district for review before final plans are approved. “This is appropriate, because President M. E. (Red) Knight and others associated with the State Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts took a keen interest in this bill, and testified before legislative committees to provide our lawmakers additional information on its scope and purpose,” Hicks commented. “SCS is, of course, not a regulatory agency. But we can provide useful technical information and assistance to make this new law effective,” he concluded. Moore’s Trial Set The trial of Thomas N. L. Moore on a charge of murder has been set for June 11 in Chowan County Superior Court. Moore is charged with the fatal shooting of Anthony Coston.

He was one of the 1972 Chowan nominees for the Morehead Scholarship. In addition to attending Boys’ State, Ralph holds the office of president of the Student Government Association, and is a District Consultant for the N. C. Department of Public Instruction’s Task Force on Student Involvement. He is a member of the National Honor Society, Picture Editor for the Annual Staff, and a member of the Library Club. He was also selected to be in Who’s Who Among American High School Students. Ralph plans to attend UNC at Chapel Hill. Bond Vote Continued from Pago 1 allocations will be made to each of the state’s 152 school systems on the basis of its 1971-72 average daily membership. The allocations will range from $182,393 for Tryon to $20,507,886 in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. “In short, the money will go where the students are,” said Dr. Phillips. Each school unit would submit plans for their building projects to the State Board of Education for approval. The schools would receive technical assistance in surveying their needs and planning the improvements from the Department of Public Instruction’s Division of School Planning. “This bond money will make possible better facilities, classrooms, lunchrooms, media centers, gymnasiums, and auditoriums for children all over North Carolina,” said Superintendent Phillips. This is the biggest and the most important school bond issue North Carolina has had,” Dr. Phillips said. There have been three other statewide bond issues since World War 11, one in 1949 for SSO-million, one in 1953 for SSO-million, and one in 1963 for SIOO-million. “We have more children now and we are further behind than we were when the earlier bond issues were approved,” said Dr. Phillips. “We need to catch up and now we have that chance.” v Willie Skittlethorpe, drunk driving, second offense, six months, suspended upon payment of S3OO fine and costs and not drive for four years.
