Well, Monday of next week October
will make its debut, which calls for
poem received from Rev. Walter E.
Isenhour of Taylorsville a long time
ago. Here ’tis:
GOLDEN OCTOBER
/October is the golden month,
The month of pleasant breeze;
It is the month when yellow tinge
Adorns the many trees;
The month that Nature spreads her
paint
Through valley and o’er hill;
The month of auburn beauties rare
That give our hearts a thrill.
It is the month when fruits are ripe
And nuts are falling fast;
The month when crops are gathered in
Before the winter’s blast:
The month when flowers growing wild
Look fairest ere they die; .
The month that tells us to prepare,
The winter’s drawing nigh.
It is a month when sunshine bright
Comes beaming o'er the hills;
The month when mellow Nature seems
To soothe a lot of ills;
The month when Nature lovers roam
The country far and wide;
The month when sweetness seems to
say:
“Dear child, in peace abide."
It is the month of golden age
That tells us summer’s o’er;
That soon the year will pass away
To time’s eternal shore:
The month that tells us age will come
To men as well as years:
That Life should have its golden day
When Heaven's crown appears.
With so much seen in the newspapers
and heard over radio and television
these days about kickbacks, maybe the
local Legionnaires have been
kickbacking the weatherman. With the
Chowan County Fair in progress this
week, no better kind of weather up
until Wednesday could have been
desired for a fair. Some time back, for
a number of years, the Fair was
almost a sure sign for rain and
inclement weather, so that the crowds
attending were rather small. The Fair
will continue until Saturday night and
if the weatherman continues to be so
favorable the Legionnaires will be
very thankful and hopeful that the
crowds will increase from now until
the end of the Fair.
" s Aces chalked up their
third consecutive victory Friday night
when they had little trouble trouncing
the f&kliiwOCwfeifetv .Aml ttAMm w k
WWITT IVI>U IIUI vv tVf
with the Gates team scoring on two
pass interceptions. It was sort of
revenge on the part of the Aces, who
fell victims to the visitors last seaon.
Anyway, the Aces will travel to
Plymouth next Friday night, where
they expect to moei stiff opposition.
The Aces seem to improve with each
game and here’s on*- v.ho wishes they
will be able to add victory number 4 to
their present string.
Meeting And
Social Set
The annual meeting of the
Edenton Historical Commission
will be held at 2:30 P.M., October 4

held that evening at the Chowan
Golf and Country Club, starting at

Another Win

another victory to their thus far
perfect record, defeating the Red ’
Barons of Gates County High
School 46-15 at Hicks Field here,
FTiday night.

October 4 at 2:00 P.M. at Martin
Technical Institute in
Williamston. '
We agree with the consultants
on the point of establishing a net
work of rural health centers. To
have these staffed with specially
trained personnel with supportive
services from physicians is the
quickest and least expensive route
to take in the immediate delivery
to services.
But, in this rapidly moving
society in which we find ourselves,
we must look further down the
road. Doctors cannot be trained in
12 months, such as nurse
practitioners. And more doctors
must be trained to provide the
back-up for rural health centers
across the state.
To get more qualified doctors in
Eastern North Carolina we have to
train more doctors, not lower
requirements in certain areas, as
the consultants recommend. And
they should be trained in Eastern
North Carolina.
It is now evident that the
medical school question has been
tossed into the political arena. It is
now up to the General Assembly to
settle the question. And a good
place to make ourselves heard is
to start with the Joint Legislative
Commission on Medical
Manpower in session in
Williamston next Thursday
afternoon.
‘CONGRATULATIONS’-
Jack Harris, immediate past
president of Edenton Chamber
of Commerce, has a pleasant
word with Mrs. E. N. Elliott
following Tuesday’s banquet.
Mrs. Elliott
Continued from Page 1
He commended Edenton for
coming to grips with its own
community problems, “to meet
them head on, to solve them
through action at the level closest
to the people themselves.”
He also commended citizens of
the area for being willing to accept
change in order to keep pace.
The speaker noted that recently
Wesley Cullipher, executive
director of Albemarle Regional
Planning & Development
Commission, made a great
impression on the Council on State
Goals and Policy when he said it
was easier for area people to get to
Baltimore than to Raleigh from
here. “We can do something about
this,” he said. “We can do it by
proper planning and by carrying
through those plans.”
*He said local initiative to bring
about action needs help. “We must
be concerned about the capacity of
. itate government to respond to
your needs, to assist in your
efforts,” he said.
Lt. Gov. Hunt called for
adopting a policy of balanced
growth in North Carolina.
“Through such a policy we can see
to it that each area of our state
shares in its growth and its
development.
“Through such a policy, we can
channel the state’s resources
toward developmental,
environmental, and hnm»p
concerns in the areas that need
Hrnrni ihe m tv
uwn me most.

Work Program
Work experience opportunities
will be developed for 30
chronically unemployed persons
in Camden, Chowan, Currituck,
Dare, Gates, Hyde, Perquimans,
Pasquotank, Tyrrell, and
Washington counties, through an
Operation Mainstream program.
The U. S. Department of Labor’s
Assistant Regional Director for
Manpower William U. Norwood of
Atlanta, said federal funds in the
amount of $39,550 have been
allocated for extension of the
project for a period of 18 weeks.
The project is sponsored by the
Economic Improvement Council,
Inc., in Edenton.
Operation Mainstream provides
work experience and training for
chronically unemployed persons,
particularly among the elderly,
through projects which improve
low-income, small rural
communities. Workers plant
trees, beautify roads, improve
drainage, decrease air and water
pollution, protect wildlife and
rehabilitate housing.

five knots from Elizabeth City to
Freeport, Grand Bahamas. That’s
where Sam Wilcox will be around
the first of January. Sometime
between Monday afternoon and
Tuesday, the first leg of his
journey began with a slow cruise
down the Intracoastal Waterway
to Morehead City. From there he
will take to the sea for the
remainder of the voyage down the
eastern coast.
He won’t be in any sort of hurry.
He has time on his hands.
“I have disposed of all things ,
tangible that will hold one in one
place; converted them to cash. I
bought the boat from Grampian
in Edenton through a dealer in
Richmond and received it Labor
Day”, he said sunmarizing his
plans. v
He outfitted his 23-footer in
The -jtiriroaa*«
native then made way to Elizabeth
City for final preparations.
Two years ago, he was involved
in an automobile accident which
almost cost him his left leg.
Because the future of his legs is
uncertain, he decided to cash in on
his dream of recovery, he studied
various aspects of sailing and
began to plan for the trip. He has
sailed only three times before but
he seemed confident and secure.
Electrical wiring and various
additions he has handled
personally. Sam will have
sufficient provisions to remain at
sea for up to one month. As for
company on the days ahead, his
pet gerbbil, Ralph, will be his
only shipmate.
Reading will occupy his free
time. It will give him the
opportunity to study and build up
his weak points in sailing. Until
mastering celestial navigation, he
will be content with limiting his
travel to waters near land.
As for the route he will follow, he
will motor to Morehead on the
Intracoastal Wateerway because
of the dangerous waters of the
North Carolina coast. From there
it will be on to Charleston, S. C.,
for a visit with friends before
actucally setting sail for the
islands which rest about 100 miles
from Florida.
He will make one scheduled stop
in West Palm Beach,. Fla., as he
moves down the seaboard.
He cited good fortune as being a
major contributing factor in
making his saga reality. “I am
thrilled at actually being able to do
it. Hie time and the finances all
came together at the right time.
It’s a sense of exhilaration,” he
said.
Though lie doesn’t plan to make
the Bahamas his home, Sam
added that he wasn’t sure if he
would come back or not “I see no
fortate’.
