ij -* n*tr Mij&Si. There's an old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together,” and that’s about what William E. (Buster) Spruill would like to bring about. Buster, an Edenton boy, lives at Camerillo, Calif., and left these parts in 1929. He is a long-time subscriber of The Herald and in a letter he says he noticed in the laper that Marshall W. Pelts, another Edentonian, lives in Long Beach, Calif., only about 50 to 60 miles from Camarillo. Buster said it would be niee to get in touch with Marshall, and talk about old times in Edenton but that his efforts to secure Marshall’s address or phone number were unsuccessful. So Buster asked me to please spare the time to drop Marshall a note giving him his address and phone number to see of they can get in touch with each other. Buster’s address is 1708 Edgement Drive Camarillo, Calif. 93010 and his phone number is 1-805- 482-1369. And if Buster wants to know Marshall’s address, here ’tis: 3350 Kallin Avenue, Long Beach, Calif. 90808. “I read the paper front to back,” says Buster, “and enjoy every word of it,” says Friend Peltz also is a long time subscriber to The Herald, so here’s both of their addresses way out in California and here’s hoping by this means they will be able to get together for a little Edenton CHIT -CHAT. Edenton’s Aces continue in their winning ways and thus far have won all five of their football games this season. Tarboro was their latest victim last Friday night when the Aces squeezed by with a 12-8 score with the winning touchdown by a Gerald Hall- Thomas Slade pass play coming in the waning seconds of the game. This Friday night the Aces will bump heads with the Roanoke Rapids Yellow Jackets in a home game on Hicks Field beginning at 8 o’clock. Hie Yellow Jackets’ squad includes 48 players and at least 17 of ’em weighing from 180 to 240 pounds—and that’s a lot of “meat.” So, on paper, the Aces will no doubt be running up against one of their toughest opponents of the season. Os course, they are a very optimistic and hard playing group of boys and are hoping to clip the wings of the Yellow Jackets. How about going out to see what the outcome will be? O Fisherman who look at Jeff Dane’s Tackle Box program on television must have gotten the urge to go fishing along the Outer Banks last week. Jeff showed very plain pictures of all the piers which one could see many fish ? ut showed that fishermen (and fisherwomen) on the piers were packed as tight as sardines in a can— and that’s what takes some of the pleasure out of fishing on the piers. With newsprint becoming hard to get these days, just about every newspaper is forced to inaugurate measures to conserve what supply it has on hand. And, of course, The Herald is included in the squeeze. So the long-winded writers who submit articles will have to cut down some on their writing or it will have to be done in The Herald office. Then, too, a lot of reading matter will be forced to be eliminated in order to reduce the number of pages printed, so that just about only regular subscribers will be able to get current issues of the paper. And speaking about cutting down on space to save newsprint, I can take a hint and make this column brief this week so that other news items can be included. Goal Set Continued from Page 1 according to the present trend. The one against whom the odds are stacked will likewise join the 53-million American citizens now living who will eventually have cancer. To bring you down even more, those numbers get bigger and bigger each year. As a matter of fact, cancer has reached epidemic proportions. Statistics also show that half of those stricken could and should be saved. Os course, being saved depends on early diagnosis and prompt treatment. A few precautionary measures can make you much safer against the threat of cancer. Information about safeguards and warning signals is abundant, and a few minutes invested in obtaining this information may make a crucial difference in your life or someone close to you. Concerning the fight against cancer Mrs. Partin said, “We want to encourage every member of the community to get a regular . Continued from Page 1 found to have speed) and hearing impairment. The 1973 students in this group will now be taken to the center for further testing. While the testing conditions were not ideal and leave much room error, the high percentage of difficulties found in the screening certainly points to a health problem area to which this section of the state has not previously addressed itself. The presence of speed) and hearing professionals, working through a center in Elizabeth City and one to be established along the Public Parade at Chowan Hospital, is further indication of the awareness in this area of voids in the delivery of medical services. Another thing the Gates screening illustrates is what can result who) there is cooperation between public health and public schools. The example set by Bill Burgess, health director, and George Stancil, school superintendent, and complimented by personnel from the new center, can be the guiding light for those in the other nine counties of the northeast. In this one screening, the state demonstration project has become of age. It has been proven in only a month of operation that Thomas M. Surratt, chairman of the Comprehensive Health Planning Council, and James Lewis, executive director, Albemarle Human Resources Development System, hit the bullseye. It will now be quite interesting to see what they do for an encore. Just For 1/8 About the most meaningful thing to come to us from along the Public Parade ead\ year is the eloquently worded resolution from the Chowan committee of Albemarle Soil and Water Conservation District. And it comes during National Newspaper Week. L. C. Bunch, H. Fahey Byrum and Joe A. Webb, Jr., never fail to remember our efforts in helping to the conservation. But while their resolution commends us, we would be remiss if we didn’t admit that sometimes they enjoy a good press because their staff members do a good job in putting together news releases. They are not only timely, but are submitted in such a manner that it is almost painless to get them into print. Anyway, this one was for us and we would like to share it with you, modest as we are: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the newspapers of North Carolina and the nation make an invaluable contribution to public information, and, WHEREAS, public support for programs leading to environmental quality and scientific conservation of our natural resources, and WHEREAS, the week of October 7 through 13, 1973, has been proclaimed as National Newspaper Week, with the theme “Newpapers Your Foundation for Free Choice,” and WHEREAS, The Chowan Herald has provided useful information on environmental quality and conservation, thus helping the Chowan Unit of the Albemarle Soil and Water Conservation District toward its objectives; NOW, THEREFORE, WE, the supervisors of the Chowan Soil and Water Conservation District, unanimously pass this Resolution of Appreciation to The Chowan Herald for this informational support.

He is vice chairman of the deacon board at Providence Baptist Church, is past master of John R. Page Lodge No. 13; and is co-chairman of the Recreation Committee for the Town of Edenton.

I am intensely interested in the forward progress of Edenton and promise, if elected, to do all in my power to help Edenton to be a leader. Reeves is employed by The Chowan Herald. Harless is associated with R. Elton Forehand Agency, dealing in insurance and real estate. He said with Bond’s decision not to seek re-election the town is “losing a faithful and loyal public servant and I want to continue in the same way in which Bond has served over the past years.” The candidate said earlier that he would like to serve the town and citizens in some small way and desires to become mare active in town affairs.

James Hobhouser’s rural health clinic plans were good and bringing people to clinics who had not seen a physician in 2S years, “but it’s overloading the doctors. After we get them to the clinic, where do we find a physician who has time to take on new patients?” Jack Cahoon, Dare County manager, said “My people in Dare County have to drive farther to get medical service than some of the out-of-towners had to drive to get to this meeting today.
