Included in the morning service
Sunday at the local Methodist
Church was the baptism of two
children. The two youngsters are
the grandchildren of Rev. and
Mrs. George Holmes. Mr. Holmes
is a former rector of St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church and is now
living in Asheboro, but the whole
Holmes family and other friends
from afar were on hand for the
baptismal ceremony. Mr. Holmes
joined Rev. Ed Earnhardt in the
pulpit and had the honor of
sprinkling the water on his two
grandchildren. Sunday being
Mother’s Day, C.B. Smith,
chairman of the Administrative
Board, presented a corsage to the
youngest and oldest mother in the
congregation. The youngest
mother was under 21 and the
oldest mother was over 80 years
old, so that Friend Smith had to
ask the age of the mothers in the
various age categories. The plan
worked out all right but the
procedure did cause Mr. Holmes
to ask Mr. Earnhardt, “since
when has the Methodist Church
asked for ‘confessions’ from their
members?” And another feature
of Sunday’s morning service was a
dinner for all who were in the
congregation. The dinner was
planned by the Men’s Bible Class
of the church which includes some
very good “cooks,” so that there
was plenty delicious fried chicken
and the trimmings. And if
anybody went away hungry it was
their own fault. And by serving the
dinner a lot of women wore spared
the job of messing in the kitchen
after the church service to get a
meal together and washing
dishes, too!
Quite an attraction in downtown
Edenton Monday was moving a
large boat to the waterfront at the
foot of Broad Street. Traffic was
halted as the boat was moved
slewlniiwlw—rlwiMf —id'—
the Fecreatidh '
park and nearby points to watch
the operation of transferring the
big boat from the truck into the
water. With a large crane on hand
and other equipment, the boat was
lowered into the water late
Monday afternoon. It’s now
docked at the foot of Broad Street,
but the thing doesn’t look nearly as
big as it did when on the truck.
Anyway, the boat was a big at
traction for a spell Monday.
Here’s one who for several days
now has been having an encounter
with the return of a case of TIC
DOULOUREUX. It’s a dickens of
a word to spell and pronounce but
it’s not hard to know when a
person gets it, for the pain in the
mouth caused by a nerve condition
sometimes feels as though
somebody is whitling on the jaw
and cheek. Anyway, the darned
stuff makes a fellow feel bad all
over and not in the mood to do
much talking aS well as writing.
But with a trip to the doctor in
Portsmouth Friday maybe some
relief is in sight.

Health care is a field,in which
the bureaucrats have had a field
day, for like motherhood and
apple pie, it is not popular to be
critical of those who run afoul of
good judgment in order to line
their own coffers.
To add layer after layer of
bureaucracy to what we have
certainly will not cure the patient,
nor make the senior citizen more
comfortable in his last day.
Leaders such as Blue Cross-Blue
Shield must be the (Hies to he in
novative, but sensible. We can’t
expect them to provide any divine
guidance but we can expect them
to send up warning flags when the
gliberals become retrogressive in
lieu of being progressive in putting
a bridle on the cost of health care
along the Public Parade and
throughout the nation.
Not A Throat
The District Health Department
along the Public Parade is staffing
up what is known as the Com
munity Life Program. While it
functions only in four of the
Albemarle Area counties
Pasquotank, Perquimans,
Camden and Chowan it could
become a vehicle to provide
certain services to a target
population which isn’t being
adequately served at present.
The CLP is designed to serve the
needs of senior citizens and
handicapped persons. There are,
however, existing programs which
address themselves to such
needs—in their grant applications
but not in their direct application
of services.
A few years ago, we emphasized
in a magazine editorial the needs
of middle-class Americans for
services which were limited to
poverty-level Americans because
of federal guidelines, etc. Middle
class Americans are picking up
the tab, yet they are, by definition,
prohibited from benefiting from
the services.
Regardless of how you cut it, in
many instances, a nriddle-£lass
Americans are just afc liKSi
from many programs as those
below the poverty level. The
programs take on the poverty
stigma and those above the
federally established income
requirements shun them.
Ray Beckler, director of the
CLP, within the year headed
Albemarle Regional Planning &
Development Commission, which
directed more programs than it
planned and-or developed. He
saw, first hand, what was hap
pening and in CLP he is at
tempting a new approach.
Instead of duplication and
fragmentation, he is seeking
cooperation from various agencies
to establish a really workable
program for the senior citizens
and handicapped persons.
While his grant is specifically
for a four-county tfistrict, it could
be the model for others in the
Albemarle Area to join, especially
with regards to a transportation
{dan—one of our more pressing
needs.
In our opinion, CLP is out to
contribute to the solution rather
than continue to be a part of the
problem. Because of this, the staff
should be encouraged in their
efforts and not considered a threat
to existing programs which may
not be working for foe best in
terests of all our citizens.
Support 'Olivor’
There is a lot going on along the
Public Parade for the next three
nights not the least of which is the
presentation of the splendid
musical, “Oliver”.
“Oliver”, a joint venture by a
recently revitalized Edenton little
Theater, and the Drama and
choral departments at John A.
Holmes High School opens a three
performance run tonight
(Thursday) in the Holmes
• Auditorium.
At the same time, Edenton
United Methodist Church is in the
middle of a spring revival; and the
Albemarle Area Development
Association’s monthly meeting is
being held in Currituck County, te
mention two of the conflicts.
The little theater, with the
cooperation of toe Drama Cfcto,
will add to its splendid record of
excellence. Tboee In command

served with the squad since its

Ashley remarked that in the
beginning the rescue squad was in
a “pick up and go situation” but
the need and desire for better
emergency medical care has
brought the squad up to its current
level. He commended the state for
its support in providing funds and
training.

being of our town,” it was stated.
“That organization is called the

Rescue Squad.
Inscoe remarked that the rescue
squad provides a level of service
that Chowan County has never had
before.
He went on the state,
“Emergency medical services
must be both well planned and
practical. You have to be prepared
at any time to take the necessary
actions to save lives and protect
property. It is not an easy job.”
Inscoe was introduced by Bill
Underkofler.
Chief Ashley installed officers
for the three squad units. Unit 1
officers are Willis Privott, cap
tain, Bill Underkofler, training
officer, and Wayne Mizelle,
maintenance officer. Unit 2
officers include Richard Goodwin,

He was involved in some 500
performances in South Africa and

six months and performed before
numerous heads of state before
going on to direct plays in Ger

He has also performed in most of

Becker moved to the United
States in 1962, settling down in
Charlotte as a stock broker and
later moving to Edenton to fill a
company position here.
He became associated with the\
Edenton Little Theater and
directed “Harvey”, “The Odd
Couple”, “Blithe Spirit”, and
“Ten Little Indians” as well as
playing “Henry Higgins” in a
production of “My Fair Lady”,
staged in Elizabeth City with the
Norfolk Symphony Orchestra.
He calls “Oliver” one of his
“more enjoyable ventures” and
while the story is generally
thought of as a tragedy, the play is
a comedy.
“It has a lot of real drama and a
tremendous amount of comedy,”
Becker stated. “If everything is as
good as the cast, we will have a*
terrific play.”
