*By Buff”
There’s a lot of hullabaloo go
ing on these days relative to ra
tioning of gasoline. The Presi
dent of the United States, is
well as many other prominent
officials are apparently very
much opposed to the rationing
system, but how in the dickens
can you classify the present
helluva mess in trying to get e
little gasoline? Now a person
is obliged to stand in line for
hours m order to get to a gaso
line pump and even then he’s
not sure if he’ll be able to buy
some, and if he does, he’s sold
about $3.00 worth. What in the
sam hill is that but being ration
ed? It’s just about enough for
a person to consume In driving
around to find another place
selling gas, taking a chance to
be able to get to a pump, and
not taking into consideration
the large amount of time wasted
in trying to get a few gallons in
the car tank. Here’s one who
would rather be rationed to a
certain amount of gas and be
ing able to get it at a filling
station when needed than to be
actually rationed as at present
and even then hardly being able
to get just a small amount,
o
Unanimity Lodge No. 7, A. F.
& A. M., is scheduled to observe
Past Masters’ Night at its meet
ing tonight (Thursday). At this
time the old-timers will be ap
pointed to the various stations
and places according to senior
ity, which will obviously reveal
how much of the work the has
beens have forgotten. It so hap
pens that yours truly is the old
est living past master of the
lodge and the big problem is
that, being so forgetful of late,
It’s altogether probable that I’ll
even forget to go to the meet
ing. At any rate, Sam Long,
present master of the lodge, is
verv anxious to have a large
number of members present at
the meeting.
o
Bill Hamilton, now living on
the Eastern Shore at Onlev,
Va., is president of the Eastern
Shore Jaycees and this week
sent the following note:
“Dear Bud and Buff: I hear
that Edeuton Methodist Church
SKMRMMU'
Earnhardt is grinning from ear
to ear. lam certainly happy to
hear this. Marie, the kids and I
have never gotten over missing
Edenton and look forward to
visits with eagerness. Hope to
see you all soon. If you’re ever
on the Shore, come to see us.
We’d love to have you. This
invitation is good for all our
friends in Edenton—but just not
all at one time, please. See you
soon.”

Since Saturday the Bufflap
home has not been quite so
lonesome. After working for
the telephone company in Eliza
beth City for ouite a few years,
Miss Dorothy Bufflap has been
transferred to the Edenton of
fice. She replaces Mrs. Lessie
Mae Keeter, who has been
granted an indefinite leave of
absence due to her health.
o
His many friends will be de
lighted to learn that Gus Hughes
is now back in Edenton follow
ing a stay in Raleigh. Friend
Gus is making his home at Unit
C, Chowan Hospital and; of
course as he always has been,
he will be glad to meet and
greet his host of friends in
Edenton.
o
Edenton’s population has in
creased bv at least one since
Monday. It’s because Bill Her
man became a pappy when his
wife Doris gave birth to a 7-
pound, 1-ounce boy at Chowan
Hospital Bill has “fcaid up” in
full bv shelling out cigars to
the whole Herald gang. But,
of course, Sue Bunch and Cindy
Dail do not smoke cigars.

Local Athletes Successful
We want to join Supt. Eddie
West of Edenton-Chowan Schools
in commending those who
participate in athletics at Chowan
and John A. Holmes high schools
for their accomplishments thus
far this year. They have brought
many thrills to the fans along the
Public Parade and much well
deserved recognition to
themselves and their respective
schools.
The local public schools have an
enviable reputation for fielding
highly competitive athletic teams
in almost every sport available to
them. They do it despite the fact
that often times there is no wide
choice of students because of
small enrolments. Nevertheless,
coaches in the various sports have
been highly successful in getting
participants to overcome size,
etc., with a strong desire to bring
home the bacon.
In his column, “The
Superintendent Reports”, Dr.
West pbi|hp put some to the recent
successes Rulldogs and the
Aces. They hywt j ,fijrought much
credit to the qniMunity and
deserve all the fine%ords anyone
can put on than.

Dr. Hyatt mentioned
specifically the cooperation oh.the
Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair,
Housing Fair, Sewing Festival,
County Fair, Market Hog Show,
Regional 4-H Talent Show and the
Feeder Pig Cooperative.
The Stjlte extension director also
praised the Chowan staff for their
work in rural resource
development, which has. involved
educational work on the county
trash pick-up and land fill, the
county water sytem, and the
.proposed -county zoning.
Also, Thompson was recognized
for 25 years of service.

, income would be generated. This
would pay SIB,OOO in operating
| expense and $92,000 in debt
' repayment annually.
The plan calls for the water
distribution system, two water
treatment plants, four wells and
three 150,000 gallon storage tanks.
It does not include the Cape Colony
system.
Although the system is not
designed for fire protection, there
are fire hydrants proposed in the
more populated areas to provide
waterforfillingwatertankers. The
system would also provide water
for industrial sites an encourage
the construction of homes along
the lines.
In answer to a question from
Commissioner David Bateman, it
was explained that the system is
so designed that it could inter
connect with the Town of Edenton.
A state health official said such a
connection would help both the
town and county.
Mike Bell of the State Board of
Health commended the
commissioners for taking such a
“positive approach to improve
this important health need.”
Chairman C. A. Phillips said the
county planning board deserves a
lot of credit for the work done to
bring this project to this stage.
With the letter of intent the
commissioners assured FHA of
the county’s support of the project
through to completion.
Progress on three community
systems—Rocky Hock, Yeopim
and Center Hill—have been
delayed pending the feasibilty
study of a countywide system.

in the original cast went on to
begin acting professionally in New
York.
The Thesis Review Committee
gave her honors for the
performance.
“R was beautiful...one of the
greatest moments of my life,” she
remarked Tuesday. Her inability
at masking her excitement with
seeing her production again and
on tour made it obvious that the
Swain performance would provide
her with another such experience.
The Carolina Readers Theater
consequently came to select Mrs.
Boyce’s work for the tour that
includes 50 high schools
throughout North Carolina. It is
being funded by the State
Department of Public Instruction.
Carolina Readers Theater opened
the tour in Ahoskie, spent Tuesday
in Camden and Hertford, before
visiting Edenton today. The five
member cast will present two
shows per day for five weeks.
Readers theater is a simple
form of theater which stimulates
imagination of the audience.
Material not usually dramatized—
letters, diaries, poems, and
novels—is dramatized in readers
theater.
“With costume, music, and
dance, we are bringing the
characters to life out of the
books,” said director Warren
Kliewer, professional director,
actor and playwright who is
- working with the Carolina
Readers Theater this spring. “We
hope students will fed these are
