Buff" Local friends of Dr. Lloyd L. Hobbs, and Edenton native and now a prominent dentist at Blacksburg, Virginia will be delighted to learn that he has been designated a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International. The award has been made in honor of Dr. Hobbs because the Christianburg-Blacksburg Rotary Club has contributed SI,OOO during the past year to the Rotary Foundation. The Foundation provides funds for talented young people to spend a year studying in some other country, and during this year more than 1,100 young people have been awarded such fellowships. Doc Hobbs was an outstanding player for the Edenton Aces in 1933, the year prior to the Aces winning the state football championship. He has also been a reader of The Herald since it was started back in 1934, so that he was, no doubt, very much interested and delighted to read about the Aces’ splendid record this year. In a clipping from the Blacksburg newspaper Dr. Hobbs is pictured receiving the certificate, but it’s very difficult to determine if he had a “chaw” of “terbacco” in his mouth or not. A group of “friends” were guest in my back yard Saturday morning. The guests comprised a gang of grosbeaks but they didn’t tarry long. They evidently didn’t like what was left form last year’s sunflower seed or else didn’t enjoy the company of the several cats which hang around in the hope of having a bird dinner. Anyway, here’s hoping the “advance guard” will return and bring their relatives back with them. This (Thursday) afternoon the holiday season is scheduled to be ushered in when a parade will be held and the Christmas street decorations lighted. Although the ~ weather man says it will be a little on the cold side, here’s hoping it will not be too cold for the youngsters (and older ones, too) to line up along Broad Street to watch the parade as well as welcome Santa Claus, who will, no doubt, bring up the rear of the parade. A lot of hard work and time has gone into plans for the parade and here’s hoping it will be one of the best ever. Anyway, it’s the time of year when a lot of people appear to be more pleasant-which should not wear off after Christmas has passed. And speaking about Christmas, a gang of Christmas parties are now in the making so that some of us, no doubt, ought to jot down the date and place so that some of the affairs will not be forgotten. One which yours truly should not forget is the Scottish Rite Club’s party which is scheduled to be held at the Masonic Temple Friday night. The only trouble with Scottish Rite parties is that there’s always so much and so good food on hand that a fellow hardly knows when to stop eating. There will be an important meeting of Unanimity Lodge No. 7, A. F.& A. M., tonight (Thursday). At this meeting new officers for the year 1976 will be elected, so that it is hoped a large number of the members will turn out and take part in the voting. But, unlike the present scramble for the nomination to run for President of the United States, there have not been any speeches or handing out cigars by any who are eligible to be elected, so there Thursday, December 4, 1975 The Chowan Herald •OX M7.

The 10 boards of county commissioners nominated people who could pass Mr. Byrd’s test. The regional commission chose 14 from among the nominees and we would put their credentials up against any others in Tar Heelia. Now in the heat of battle many of them will be lost. Some will fed they aren’t appreciated, some just, by nature, will not want to get into something that has a stench of controversy. Eight weeks ago Mr. Byrd defended “Big Brother”. This week he called for the “ex convenors” to raise strong objection over the manner in which they have been dealt with. It would appear, therefore, that the ECU representative is attempting to play on both teams. This, of course, isn’t a new game plan for him. He fired the first shot which ultimately resulted in sinking the best human resources delivery system in this entire state. And he had “Big Brother’s” help in that one also. Our most recent concerns have been confirmed. The needy are the ones to be served, not the greedy. When more people in responsible positions are made aware of this then the best interests of all our citizens will be served. Holiday Season Opening The holiday shopping season will be officially launched this afternoon along the Public Parade. Nothing gets the public’s attention like a parade and that is exactly what will be a forerunner for Santa Claus. The weatherman calls for a crisp afternoon. At 3- o’clock, parade time, everyone should be in the mood for a gala event. This is a good time, then, to put our stamp of approval on the downtown improvements, in general, and the Christmas decorations, in particular. We beg to differ with our favorite columnist in this newspaper over the trans formation of downtown Edenton. Admittedly, we held our breath and our criticism in the early stages. We could hardly see how the finished product could look anything like the artist’s rendering of the plans. In deference we were patient. Every phase of the project added to the other and after all the pieces were put together we have one of the finest looking central business districts anywhere. The lamp post decorations put icing on the cake. They are in good taste. They are adequate and not heavy. They promote a feeling of closeness which is indicative of our community. We hope though, that 50 years from now we will be around to exercise the same right Buff has. The right to disagree. Happy shopping!

Also, Jethro said he had located abandoned tennis courts at Cape Colony. The county dog problem was again discussed.

Oh yes, December 6 will be the first Saturday in the month so that the Methodist Men’s Club will prepare a pickled herring breakfast. The meal will be served from 7 to 9 o’clock and the “boys” are hoping a large number will turn out to eat. Attendance at the last couple of breakfasts has net people patronise die breakfasts - wefl some of the fellows think - “hoc, Just what’s the use?” Mk ‘ [ ANNUAL MEETING—A large number of young people involved in Chowan County 4-H clubs were present for the Achievement Program.

The director has requested to come to the county to “jawbone” with squad members and this will be done. The Finance Committee of the board will meet with a committee from Edenton-Chowan Board of Education to hear requests “on maintenance items only.” Chairman Phillips said any new long-range program should be presented to the entire board and not a committee. George said the request for a meeting should be honored although the county has already made a decision on the long-range {dan.

Dr. Smite said the larger board is needed to insure proper representation from throughout the 29 area counties which have a population in excess of 990,000. He defended the actions of the convenor group saying the members had done a good job. He told the group they had two choices. They could either “knuckle down to the revert to the original intent of a Steering Committee. After considerable discussion the decision was to prepare for battle. Lewis Renn of Onslow County and chairman of the Neuse River Council of Governments acted as chairman of the group. He stated he is a strong advocate of local control. Mrs. Elizabeth Wells of Wilson, former chairman of the LRO in Region L., expressed concern over the “heavy way the governor has acted” and said it is “not mature judgment”. Mrs. Wells encouraged the group to continue the organization and seek an audience with Gov. Holshouser. T. R. Spruill of Washington County, chairman of Albemarle Regional Planning & Development Commission, argued that the area could have “lived with a 45- member board” if proper notification had been given. He said dissatisfaction with the 66- member board came only after the members had been appointed by the various regions., Spruill concluded his brief remarks by saying it. should be impressed on the Holshouser Administration that “we want this to be a people’s program.” Bryant Aldridge, hospital administrator in Rocky Mount, expressed fears of h “branch if the decision is made to go over the head of state government” and Historic Place Is Nominated RALEIGH—Albania, in irtedentoii,'tan) beta Aorhiibtied for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places by Bruce MacDougal, deputy state historic preservation officer. The register is described as a national list of distinctive properties worthy of preservation because of their historical or other cultural value. Albania is an impsoing Greek Revival house, probably built in 1857, the year it was purchased by Edward Warren. Dr. Warren was a colorful figure who served -as surgeon-general of North Carolina during the Civil War and later practiced in Egypt and in Paris. The handsome frame house has a typically coastal double porch with enclosed ends, engaged under the main roofline of the house. Entrances andother elements have fine Greek Revival detail, some resembling examples in the published architects’ guides of Asher Benjamin, whose publications influenced mid-19th Century buildings across America. The nomination was submitted in connection with the Division of Archives and History’s long-range program to identify and document the authenticity of historic properties in North Carolina. Approval of the nomination by tee Department of the Interior usually takes about six months and will be announced through the state’s 1 congressional delegation. , ><7' §B|f . \j.C" r) v, •.' seek HEW recognition.
