XU/ “By Buff” ■ It was a little chilly last Thursday but the weatherman was very cooperative in shell* ing out nice clear weather for Eaenton’s Christinas parade. And it was one of the best wc ever had and you know why? Well just because, contrary to other Christmas parade, Cheap Side had some band music in stead of the usual drum solos. The floats were very attactive and thanks to State Teachers College in Elizabeth City and the Manteo High School, we had two bands in the parade as well as the Perquimans High School marching unit. Here’s hoping Edenton will soon be able to have a band, for what’s a parade, football game or any other public occasion without a band? o Members of Edenton Chap ter, Order of the Eastern Star, plan to have a bake sale. It is scheduled to be held in front of the Belk Tyler store next Saturday morning. When the “gals’* put on a covered dish ' supper the food is always of the very best and it’s a safe guess that what they bake for this sale will also be as good as can be made. And, of course, they are hopeful that everything put on sale will be sold. —-o At this season of the year greetings come from every side and one of ’em came last week from Raleigh. It read: “thanks and best wishes to everyone from the C. J. Overtons.” o It’s a funny world. A dick ens of a lot of time has been devoted to investigation and criticism of the Watergate gang for accepting sums of money. Then Nelson Rockefeller, wlio is seeking the vice presidency of the United States, has been the target for a lot of investi gating and criticism for giving some of his money away. So. with all of his money, it’s not likely that he wishes to become vice president for what money he can get out of it. o _ Local Masons held an elec tion of officers for 1975 at their meeting Thursday night. And, unlike a lot of elections for of fice, none of the candidates were investigated and criticized for what they have done with their money. Anyway, Warren Twiddy was elected master in a landslide vote to succeed Sam Long. He, as well as all of the other officers, will be installed at a public installation cere mony Thursday night, Janu ary 9, at 8 o’clock. Edenton’s Scottish Rite Club held its annual Christmas party Friday night and, as usual, just about everything good to cat was spread about on a long table. Without doubt, some of those present ate too much but who can refrain from eating such good food? Christmas presents were exchanged and most of the men should be smelling right good, for the majority of them received after shave lotion, cologne or deod orant. o And speaking about Christ mas presents it might be a good time now to root around the house to find some presents received last year or even in previous years which were never used. In this day of high prices these items could very easily be given to some friend or relative to help fight in flation. And that’s done some times, you know. The only problem is not to send the gift to the same person who gave it. ** * * Church services are still being held every Sunday—just like they were when you were taught to go regularly. ** * • Luckily for the human race, adults who grow cynical are replaced by youngsters with enthusiasm, hope and faith. .

That an energy move by Ford was a “goddam stupid decision,” and “it’s going to look awfully bad.’* Also that “we’re getting killed everyplace.” Commenting on the scurrilous ’‘Newsweek" article in the “San Francisco Examiner”, S. I. Hayakawa wrote that “all my life I’ve had to name my sources - in tortu papers and these, in books and' articles and newspaper columns - even in conversations with my wife. It must be nice to work for “Newsweek”. The problem with “Newsweek”, we submit, is a problem affecting the nation’s major print and electronic media generally. The integrity they are so quick to demand from those who govern the country should start at the city desk. EIC Directors Continued from Page 1 Camden County: D. J.

The next visit is set for late January or early February. In addition to being short on funds, the local chapter has been short on nurses and aides to assist with the bloodmobile visits.

The committee report was adopted and in a later, meeting Gardner was elected chairman of the Northeastern area. Thomas Gray of Buxton was named vice chairman with Robert Rowe of Winton and Charles Ogletree of Columbia rounding out the committee. The council finalized comments on foe guidelines to be used in development of land use plans and Tuesday morning formally submitted them to the commission in a joint session. Rep. Roberts Jernigan of Hertford County, a commission member, said the legislative intent was for the advisory committee to play an active role in the CMA and he was pleased to see so much progress being made by the council. Jerry Hardesty of Currituck, council chairman, told CRC chairman Thomas Eure of Morehead City that if the council was to be “in name only” then he felt a majority of the members would resign. He said the council would be the commission’s link to local government which “is vitally important if we are going to have citizen input and citizen understanding” of the legislation. The council will meet jointly with the commission quarterly with more frequent meetings among council and commission members and local elected officials being scheduled in the zones. Endowment Continued from Page 1 $395-million later, the governor’s prophecy has been amply f ulfilled. The Duke philanthropy, through the sum total of its assistance and in individual grants, has reached virtually every section of the two states. The Duke Endowment marked its 50th birthday December 8. It was on that day in the year 1924 that Duke announced at a news conference in Charlotte his intentions to use for charitable purposes the major share of the fortune he accumulated in the tobacco and electric power industries. He limited the scope of his philanthropy to the geographic area of the Carolinas and to specific named beneficiaries. “...I have endeavored to make provision in some measure for the needs of mankind along physical, mental and spiritual lines, largely confining the benefactions to those sections served by these water power developments. I might have extended this aid to other charitable objects and to other sections, but my opinion is that so doing probably would be productive of less good by reason of attempting too much,” Duke wrote in the trust indenture creating the endowment.

Edwin I* West, Jr., used charts to indicate family income and education of parents are significant in terms of student performance. “A lot of it goes right back to the home environment,” he said. Dr. West reminded members a six-months per grade performance improvement goal was set by him and that the three year report next month will show “we’re doing just that”. J. P.
