i? “By Buff” UearJ&Sem Mrs. Joann B. Taylor of Newport News, Va., sent in some information about the Hampton Cup Regatta and : invites all Edentonians to attend this outstanding affair. It will be held September 1 and 2 on Mill Creek, off East Mercury Boulevard toward Fort Monroe. What should be of interest to Edenton people is the fact that Gene W. Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Taylor of Edenton, is taking a very active part in the event. He has been a member of the club for eight years and has been secretary-treasurer for four years. He will also be pit manager for the third year and plays a very important part in getting the boats into the water at the right time to begin the races for each class. Besides the regatta and club activities, Gene is a supervisor in charge of all of 637 class submarine project which includes Hull 597 and 598’s material and personnel at the Newport News Shipyard. He has been active in little league baseball and football. He coached a baseball team to a city championship in the Warwick Pony League in 1971 with his assistant being Richard Hoskins, another Edenton hoy. Mrs. Taylor says those who attend will undoubtedly see some classy water racing by inboard hydroplanes, super stock and the straightway by a group of racers who already have hung up some enviable records, and besides Gene and his wife would be delighted to see some Edenton friends at the regatta. 0 Times must have changed so far as preachers are concerned. One afternoon this week Rev. W. H. Davis . and Rev. S. N. Griffith were in the T & T Fish Market buying some fish. I said to’em ?“ I thought preachers ate chicken more than anything else. When I was a youngster and the preacher was scheduled to come to our home, my mother would say to my daddy, Charlie, you better go and kill a couple of chickens, for I expect the preacher to havedinnerwithus tomorrow, and you know how much he likes chicken’.” "Yeah,” said Preacher Davis, “but all of that crowd are dead not.” 0 Wives of local Masons need not bother about preparing supper tonight (Thursday) for a meal will be served for the Masons at the Masonic Temple. Os course. Bob Hutchison will be the chief factotum with his corps of assistants, so that everything should be ready to start eating promptly at 7 o’clock. Then at 8 o’clock the lodge will convene, with the third degree scheduled to be conferred on a candidate. So Friend Bob hopes a big crowd will turn out to partake of his menu and Bill Easterling, master of the lodge, is also hopeful that a large number of Masons will be on hand to witness conferring of the degree. O And while on the subject of eating, members of Chowan County Shriners’ Club are busy planning to stage their annual fish fry on Saturday, September 22. The affair will again be held at the Boy Scout Cabin between the hours of 11 A M. and 7 P.M. Os course, all the profits from this fish fry go to the Shriners’ Crippled Children’s Hospital and what more worthy cause could help be given? Shriners have large batches of tickets to sell and they are hopeful that they will receive the same splendid cooperation on the part of Chowan County people as they have had in previous years. And as the Shriners say: “Never a man stood so straight and honorable as when he stooped to help a crippled child.” 0 A vacant building on “Cheap Side” will soon be occupied by a new and rather unique business. In the building until recently occupied by the Pet Shop, Mrs. Paul Sides will be operating a store especially featuring ceramic creations. And what is even more unique is that these ceramics are made by Mrs. Sides herself. The building is now beihg cleaned up and readied for display of many very attractive items and when completed both Mrs. Sides and her husband, Paul, extend an invitation to everybody to drop in and browse around. George Hagedorn, chief economist of the National As sociation of Manufacturers, predicts that, “Wage and price controls will be ended, quite simply, because the economic damage they are do ing has become so obvious and so severe that they can no longer be tolerated.” Thursday, August 30, 1973 The Chowan Herald ■ox at. nxKTOM. xcn Published every Thursday at Edenton by The Chowan Herald, Inc, L.

As for the Chowan County population as a whole, it consumed approximately 5,067,000 eight ounce containers, or the equiv alent, in the year. The estimates are based upon figures for each regional area of the country, obtained from the National Soft Drink Association and other industry sources. They show that different areas of the country vary greatly in their addiction to soda pop. People in the Southern part of the country, where it is generally warmer than elsewhere, drink more than those in other sections. They put away three bottles for every two in the Northeastern states. Flavor preferences are also quite different. In the East, for example, cola drinks represent less than 50 per cent of the market as compared with more than 75 per cent in the South. On the other hand, more people go for the fruit drinks and ginger ale in the East. What soft drink consumption in Chowan County amounts to in dollars and cents is to be seen from the figures. They indicate that local residents spent an estimated $481,000 for such beverages in the year, a big increase over former years. In part, the rise reflected higher prices. Nationally, also, there has been a sharp upswing. During 1972 the American public consumed over 80-billion (yes, billion) eight-ounce containers of soda pop and paid in the neighborhood of $7.6-billion for them. Hunt Continued From Page 1 and, at the same time, protect natural resources, Lt. Gov. Hunt is a member of the Council on State Goals and Policy. He was recently named vice chairman of this council. He received his bachelor’s degree in agricultural education from N. C. State University and was certified to teach. He went on to receive a master’s degree in economics and later received his law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Transco U Ready Continued From Page 1 the plant was clean and odorless. The speaker said Transco’s only use of the river would be to bring in heavy equipment during construction of the plant. It would ultimately take 250-million gallons of water per day from the river to be used in cooling. “About 350-tons of sulphur per day is the only by by-product of such a plant,” he added. Also, he noted that the plant would process 100,000 barrels of oil per day which will be piped in from a site near Portsmouth, Va. Whitley, who is in the gas business, cited figures which show the energy crisis in the U. S. is real. Earlier, he addressed himself to the algae problem which has existed in the Chowan. He said because of the problems last summer, his beach business near Colerain had been off considerably this year. “The algae was not due to natural causes, because Farmers Chemical was the main contributor,” he said. “TTiis year there has been very little evidence of algae because Farmers Chemical has cleaned up.” W. P. (Spec) Jones, program chairman, introduced Whitley and stated: “Down through the years the Chowan River and Albemarle Sound have been our greatest natural resources and they still are.” W. J. P. Earnhardt, Jr., dub president, preaided at die meeting held in the Parish House of St. Economy Is Up Chowan County’s economy picked up momentum in the pas year, according to a nationa survey of business activity, jus released. The advance was powered principally, by heavier spending on the part of local consumers who had more money available t( . them than the year before and less ‘ hesitancy about using it. The extent to which this freei Spending affected retail business in the local area is revealed in tht survey, which is entitled “Survej of Buying Power.” It was compiled and copyrighted by Sales Management, the marketing publication. Contained in it are comparable figures on income and spending for communities in all parts of the country. For the Chowan County population as a whole, it shows, incomes were at a high level in the year. Local residents had a net disposable income, after payment of personal taxes, totaling $28,218,000, as against the previous year’s $23,480,000. Just what this was equiv alent to, in terms of the individual family, is indicated by the median cash income per household, which is the midpoint on the local income scale. It amounted to a net of $5,733, as against the prior year’s $5,019. What did local families do with their bigger incomes? For one thing, they put less into savings and more into purchases of cars, refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances. As a result, local stores accounted for gross sales of $21,788,000, up from the previous year’s $20,983,000. The survey gives each community a performance rating based upon the amount of retail business acutally done as compared with his estimated full capacity. This is done via a “buying power index,” a weighted figure involving income, population and sales. Evans Promoted Eugene Evans has been named plant superintendent at Fiberform, according to an announcement made recently by Bill Bongers, executive vice president of the boat manufacturing facility of USI. Bongers came to Edenton from his Spokane, Wash., headquarters to announce the promotion of Evans and others at the modem 1 facility located on Albemarle Sound. Bongers temporarily ‘resided in Edenton earlier to direct start-up operations for Fiberform after the plant was purchased from Chris-Craft. Evans will replace John Krause who is returning to Spokane. Carlton Layton has been named quality control supervisor; Jimmy Bass is woodworking supervisor; Roy Forehand takes the position of personnel supervisor; and John Bundy replaces Winston Lane as laminating supervisor.
