it. is so nice to hear from
friends who have visited and
. enjoyed their visit to Edenton.
Such a letter was received the
: other day from Mr. and Mrs.
M. W. Peltz, Sr. t who live in
Long Beach, California. Here
is what they wrote:
Dear Buff: We recently spent
eight joyous days in your lovely
- town, which also happens to be
my wife’s home town. It was
so’ nice to see all of our old
friends and relatives again and
: kept us so busy both receiving
- many and calling on others.
' Sorry I did not get to drop in
The Herald office and have a
nice chat with you—we all sym
pathize with you in suffering
\ your malady, the “TIC.”
Truthfully I must say we so
much enjoyed the cloudy days
i and rain while in Edenton. We
■ have such a little of both here
j in Southern California. Every
thing looked so fresh and green
; there. Out here what’s green
has to be irrigated. Everything
else is dry and golden. That's
why we have a scourge ol'
brush fires every summer and
hence the name “Golden Cali
fornia.”
We spent a pleasant after
noon with Jim and Ann Wood
and learned the details of the
death of my cousin. Jack C.
Badham, whom I taught over 42
years ago. Maybe he now finds
eternal peace. Spent one after
noon out near Cypress Chapel
at the home of Mrs. Elton Hun
ter and what a delicious dinner
she served. We enjoyed visit
ing with her sons and daughters
and families. While there we
met the former Virginia Spruill,
sister to Buster Spruill of Cam
arillo, Calif. If you remember,
Buff, you were the one who put
us in touch with each otner
about a year ago. We went to
see him (about 100 miles from
. us) one Sunday but he was not
home. We hope to try again
this fall.
Was noticing while touring
through North Carolina that
there are quite a few old de
serted farm houses standing. I
don’t know why, but seeing
:them seems to make me sad—
•wondering who lived and died
in them—how old they are and
what in general would be their
life story. I wonder if other
• people are affected this way.
While I am at it, I guess I
might as well enclose a check
to keep The Herald coming, for
J am sure our subscription end
ed in August. Vi and I hope
your condition improves and
you recover without having to
go under the knife.
o
Edenton Aces continued their
winning ways Friday night
when they encountered very
little trouble in trouncing
Gates 32-0. This Friday night
they’ll buck heads with Ply
mouth High School and will, no
doubt, meet stiffer competition.
The game will be played on
Hicks Field starting at 8 o’clock
so that a large crowd is ex
pected to be on hand to see if
the Aces will be able to make
it four in a row.
o-
Some people change consid
erably in appearance as age
creeps upon them. This was so
evident Thursday of last week
when I met up with Aubrey
and Bruce Rice, who were here
attending the funeral of their
brother Dan. It was something
like 50 years ago when my
family and the Rice family
were neighbors on Court Street
so that since then the two Rice
boys changed so much that I
would never been able to rec
ognize them.
o
Since receiving a letter re
cently from an outfit in Ohio
calling attention to a Bufflap
coat of arms and the very few
families in the United States
of that name. I’ve learned since
that quite a few others in
Edenton have received a sim
ilar letter. The same story is
in each letter about the discov
ery of the familv name during
Thursday, September 26, 1974

GRAND CHAMPION BOOTH—Mrs. J. L. Chestnutt of the
Enterprise Extension Homemakers Club is pictured in front of
the club’s booth at Chowan County Fair which was presented the
Grand Champion trophy. Entries in the fair were judged
Tuesday morning and the annual fall event was well attended on
ripening night, according to fair officials. It will continue through
Saturday night, sponsored by the American Legion.

legislation in Washington would
establish a Community Action
Administration while another
would continue the Office of
Economic Opportunity for three
years.
He said his board supports
establishment of a separate
agency since this concept would
give the program more flexibility.
Morris siad EIC staffers would
continue to work in harmony with
various other agencies in the
region for the good of the people
being served or who need to be
served.
Although the director admits
that things at the EIC
headquarters at Edenton
Municipal Airport continue to be
uncertain until annual funding is
realized, they are going ahead
with business as usual.
The Personnel Committee is
expected to have a
recommendation for an assistant
director at the board’s meeting on
October 17. “We have several very
fine and well qualified
applicants,” Morris noted.

American”. It was further stated
that in reality the act allows “high
voices in Raleigh” to dictate how
land is to be used in Eastern North
Carolina.
The act is massive and far
reaching. It obviously steps on
some toes (primarly in local
government) which have needed
some pounding for years. But the
act is workable, if local citizens,
working through local government
act responsibility.
This is hardly “un-American.”
And about those “high voices in
Raleigh” telling people in Eastern
North Carolina what to do with
their land, nothing could be
further from the truth. Had the
measure been passed in its
original form, this could have
been the case.
However, in the wisdom of the
legislators, local control was
granted. The commission that is to
set the guidelines, policy, etc., are
15 well qualified people who reside
in coastal counties. The Advisory
Council will be composed of
additonal local people. And
between the two groups a bridle
can certainly be kept on the
gliberals who might have a desire
to choke us to death.
Some of the best talent in the
country is on the commission and
staff. If between them they go
afoul then it will be up to the
people, through the due process, to
bring them back to reality. In the
meantime, though, we are
satisfied the act can be
implemented with the best
interests of all the people in mind.
Ihooe who would be quick with
the pen would do well to do their
homework before posting unjust
criticism. Because the torch has
been passed to local folks; if they
are not willing to run with it they
will get just what they dearve,
and that might prove to be “un-
American ”

received.
James E. Lewis, executive
director, has reported that
sufficient “in kind” funds have
been gathered so that no local
money will be needed.
McKinney said the concept is to
build a respectable commodity,
not oriented toward any specific
group or identify with any
program.
Homer Glover, health director
in Washington and Martin
counties, said his board of health
had discussed the need for a
transportation system but he
would prefer a regional system.
Interviewed at a conference in
Virginia Beach, Va., last week v
Sec. Flaherty said he could not
discuss details of his proposal
before it is studied by the Advisory
Budget Commission.
He did say, however, that the
system would serve a variety of
people, including senior citizens,
the blind, handicapped, and others
who lack transportation to
participate in available social
service programs.
While Sec. Flaherty did not
mention AHRDS by name in his
interview, it is known that ranking
officials in his office have been in
contact with the system to discuss
cooperating in the proposed model
plan for 10 counties.
It has also been learned by The
Chowan Herald that a State
delegation plans to visit the State
of West Virginia to study the
system operating there.

said in his most serious moment,
“are we going to move it?”
In accepting the Senior Citizens
Award, McMullan said he was
“drafted into all the jobs” he did in
the community after the young
boys went off to war. “In my case
though they wouldn’t turn me
loose,” he said humbly.
Robert Moore, chamber of
executive, said the membership
kickoff will be October 2.
In addition to Parks, chamber
officers are W. Earl Smith, vice
president; Mrs. Bertha B. Bunch,
secretary;, and Alton Clark,
treasurer.
Troopers
Continued from Page 1
Troopers Chappell and M. J.
McArthur were on routine patrol
in the area when they “just
decided to check out” the car King
was operating at about 6:45 P.M.
Thirty-two ounces of marijuana
was in individual plastic bags and
there was more than a pound of
loose marijuana in another bag.
Also confiscated was a homemade
pipe which was made from the
core of a toilet tissue roll and
aluminum foil.
