Heard Seen a “Byßuff” - "Stop the presses!” wrote Becki Lane Hughes from St Petersburg, Fla., last week, and continuing she wrote: “Dear Mr. Bufflap: Effective June 1, please stop mailing my copy of The Chowan Herald to 234 31st Ave., S., St. Petersburg, Fla. We have just received word from Uncle Sam that we will be transferred to the Nor folk area and plan to reside in God’s country (Edenton). If anyone places any for rent ads in The Herald, if possible, please have them contact me at the above address with infor mation regarding monthly rent, etc. Since we have a St. Ber nard and a hew baby, we would like to have a farm house out in the country. We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. Hope life is looking up for you some now and do keep writing that delightful column of yours. Hope to see you and all the good folks in Edenton soon.” o The flocks of nice friends, the grosbeaks, have failed thus far to arrive at their back yard feeders, so that it appears as though these interesting birds will pass up this section this year. But instead it took only two days for flocks of cedar wax wings to strip every bloomin’ berry from two pyra • cantha bushes. But luckily there were no sheets and pil low cases on the wash line dur ing their brief sojourn. o Time passes so swiftly it al most makes a fellow’s head swim. For instance, here’s one who had another birthday on Sunday and it seems such a very short time since the last one. Then hardly before a fel low can get rid of the fish smell off his fingers another pickled herring breakfast is scheduled to be' held at the Methodist Church on Saturday morning from 7 to 9 o’clock. Well, the new fangled way to buy gasoline, if anything, is causing longer lines in the hope of buying some of the precious stuff. Monday was the odd numbered license tag gasoline day and according to the cars lined up at filling stations it appeared as though just almost everybody in Edenton had an odd number at the end of their tags. And all of ’em were not lucky enough to get some gaso line. For instance, a man and his wife were in line for over an hour, inching up little by little. Then the car began to move much faster and the wife said to her husband, “Gee whiz, we’re finally going to get to that pump.” But in a very sour note the husband replied, “Yeah, you know why—they’re not selling any more gas.” o Living these days is becoming more and more complex. For instance, a fellow must remem ber what day he can TRY to buy some gasoline. Then he must remember that the rate for first class letters will jump up to 10 cents and post cards to eight cents next Saturday. And with trash collection curtailed, it must be remembered when to put out the cans. And with milk delivery also reduced a fellow must remember what days to look for it It must also be remembered when the dead line is for filing incomer returns, and with staggered working hours here’s one who has a dickens of a time to remember what days and what time to re port for work. o The Byrd Home Demonstra tion Club held a covered dish supper Wednesday night of last week and, as usual, just about anything good to eat was spread out on a table. Charlie . Overman and Pete Thompson were on hand and were asked ; by some of the members what . to do about various insects on flowers. Os course, both of ’em ; proceeded to name a number of kinds of insecticides and how to use ’em, but who in the dickens can remember the hifalutin’ names of the different brands? So here’s one who’s going out to i Leary Bros, and ask for some of that stuff Charlie -and Pete were talking about. MAMED TO POST I RALEIGH—Mrs. Anne Shoffner has been named i—nngnr of the Ridgewood Drive-In Office of First Citixeas Bank ft Trust CsMpaay hare. A farmer rsdilsat employed by Bank of North 11nh! ; r TWirlr jjuimi 4*‘cu iiiu / v CentteMd from Page l Both UNC and ECU partisans have expressed the opinion that it is highly unlikely that the appropriations bill will be opened up for debate later in a flow fight. Rep. Jay Huskins of Iredell, who cast aside the normal Piedmont attitude and led the fight for ECU, put it this way: “When the appropriations Mil comes out, there are all kinds of little goodies, little pet projects that people put in there. That makes people reluctant to open up the bill. Once you open it, your own projects may be lifted.” At last Wednesday’s public hearing on the various ECU Medical School proposals, those who opposed ECU and praised the UNC Board of Governors were the same crowd who two years ago fought establishing the board. George Wood of Camden, a former State Senator and a member of the board, noted that the “Chapel Hill crowd” has an enviable track record in the General Assembly. “The only thing they ever lost was in the board of governors fight and they just can’t get over it,” he said outside the hearing room. This is a sweet victory not only for Eastern North Carolina but all Tar Heel citizens. It now behooves the powers that be at ECU to plow ahead, not resting wu?ast laurels. Now that the been heard and the lercjfljars have indicated the futunprourse, if the UNC Board of Governors take it like men, then maybe we will continue to wear our class ring. Too Quick To Nap The nearest thing to a Watergate in the Holshouser administration is developing in an outfit run by the Governor's uncle—the Alcholic Beverages Control sytem. When the new administration took over in Raleigh a little over a year ago, it felt certain it had uncovered something rotten in the operations of the state ABC board. At that to be distribute to the local ABC‘Stbre§ ; " was being warehoused by the distillers at their own expense. The owner of the warehouse, it is true, was enjoying a nice income from the venture; and broken cartons and odd-lots of whisky were being trucked out of the state to be sold to service clubs and other organizations exempt from state regulations. The newly-appointed ABC board took a dim view of all that, hinting that some individuals were profiting from the arrangement. To prevent that sort of hanky panky, they announced that the state would become its own warehouser. So they leased a new warehouse at state expense and began storing whisky ordered from the distilleries there. They even imported a relative of Rep. Earl Ruth from somewhere in the midwest to manage the new venture. He was a business administration graduate and considerable fanfare was attached to the announcemnt. Now it is all about to go sour. A recent check by the state auditor revealed that some 20,000 bottles of whisky had been reported i broken at the new warehouse and' over $35,000 worth in addition unaccounted for. Total losses have been estimated as running as high as SIOO,OOO, all of which the state has to pay for. Added to that is the rent being paid by the state on the new warehouse. To offset the rent, the governor has asked the legislature to appropriate some $4,000,000 to build a new state-owned whisky Thursday, February 23,1974 The Chowan Herald Published every Thursday at Edenton by The Chowan Herald.

Many local ABC stores have been complaining of sloppiness in shipping practices. “For the past year,” the Craven ABC board reported, “we have been receiving truck shipments from the state ABC warehouse with numerous errors in bills of lading, some short and some over. We have had to correct as many as 12 to 15 bills of lading in one load.” A typical example was a recent shipment of 50 cases of Flieschmann’s liquor with an invoice for only 25 cases. The Caswell ABC board reported receipt of an extra pallet —55 to 65 cases—in half-galkm containers. What might have happened to these extra cases is intriguing.
