disagreeable.
They buried such a man in
Beaver Hill Cemetery Sunday
afternoon. Hie greatest of all
electricians and administrators
removed Richard N. Hines from
us at Duke Hospital in Durham on
Friday.
So, Edenton’s “Mr. Ready
Kilowatt” has moved to his final
sub-station.
We got to know Dick Hines early
upon our arrival here. As director
of utilities he “called the shots”
for the most profitable arm of the
municipality. He was a tough
administrator and maintained a
good shop, with an enviable track
record for efficiency and
economy.
However, we could envision
more efficiency and more
economy in a single elected board
in the Town of Edenton. This is
where we crossed in theory, logic,
words, but never lack of respect
for each other.
He was a tough foe, and because
of the high regard he enjoyed
within the community, the first
efforts to merge the Town Council
and the Board of Public Works
was soundly defeated. Dick
mellowed a bit in the following
months and was forthright enough
to admit he had let his personal
feelings cloud his professional
judgement, and the good of the
community.
Dick Hines was truly a man of
vision, a man who looked down the
road to where the community
needed to go rather than back
where it had been. We only knew
him to be impatient, even to the
point of anger, with those of lesser
faith in the future.
He possessed an almost uncanny
ability to seize a difficult situation
and turn it around—always for
the benefit of the community.
Dick Hines loved his family, his
church, his friends and his com
munity. He was a proud man,
proud of all of the above, and
proud to the point of boasting of
having one of the best outage
records in the industry.
Hfi,was a.strong advocate of
Electricities, a consortium of
municipal electric towns who fight
to keep rates as low as possible.
He was recognized by his
colleagues through election to the
board of directors of the American
Public Power Association.
Everywhere he went he was a
good ambassador of this com
munity. But the Master of the Big
Switch has chosen to cut off the
current. We are all the losers.
Sacrifice Not Legislated
Edenton Cotton Mills is the dean
of industry along the Public
Parade. Now in its 78th year, the
firm continues to be one of the
community’s greatest assets, and
largest employers.
The company has been fortunate
to recruit good people who strive
to see the firm continue to be a
good corporate citizen. This was
evidenced last week when Philip
S. McMullan was named chair
man of the board and C. A. Phillips
became president, treasurer and
chief executive officer.
In keeping with the tradition of
obtaining and keeping good people
of leadership, the directors re
elected Thomas C. Phillips, vice
president and added the duties of
treasurer.
In 1974 the textile industry was
in low cotton (pun intended) yet
the local mill continued almost on
a regular schedule. This is
evidence of the confidence their
customers placed in production
capabilities and quality of
product, as well as the report
those in command enjoy within the
industry.
A1 Phillips has been a dedicated
public servant, as well as a
valuable employee of the firm
he now directs. He
was on the when
former Mayor John A. Kitchener,
Jr., sucessfully pressed for an
Administrative Ordinance. He has
served with distinction as a
member of the Chowan County
Board of Commissioners during
the county’s most progressive
years.
AH of this is to say that ability is
recognized along the Public
Parade. Sacrifice is something
which is volunteered, not

Dr. J. H. Horton said the
establishment of a reward would
demonstrate the board’s concern
over the incident which could
happen to other people in the
community.
Dr. Dunn and James Pressley,
director of instruction, presented
a plan which would make the
central office staff more ac
cessible to staff in the schools in
various areas.
The board approved a three-day
trip to Washington, D. C., by 24
members of the gifted and lear
ning class of Ernest A. Swain
Elementary School. There would
be no cost to the county and Mrs.

something the students had looked
forward to for three yeays.
During “The Public Speaks”
portion of the agenda, Mrs. Ruth
Lane expressed concern over the
condition of the parking lot bet
ween North Broad Street and
Hicks Field. Dr. Dunn ex
plained that weather conditions
had compounded the problem but
he would seek continued
cooperation from the Town of
Edenton and the State Depart
ment of Transportation in making
improvements.
Certain budget revisions were
made and when questioned by Dr.
Horton, the superintendent said
they did not exceed thfe Existing
budget limits.
The board approved the use of
funds from the ' Community
Education Project to extend the
parent-volunteer program at
Walker School and what Dr.
Edward B. Bond called the
“important purpose of an advisory
committee through proper
selection of members.”
Dr. Dunn said the project would
make the schools more available

Branch Welcomed
We want to be among the first to
roll out the red carpet of welcome
to the Edenton Branch of
Statesville Flour Mills Company
to the business community along
the Public Parade.
The branch, managed by Lee
Leary of Edenton, will distribute
livestock feed and additives from
a warehouse on Badham Road.
The service area will be North
eastern North Carolina and
Tidewater Virginia and is the
firm’s seventh brand).
Statesville Flour Mills Company
was founded in 1900 and 52 years
later we came to know the Jones’
and Deaton’s who followed the
{dan of the founder, F. A. Sherrill.
They are good stock and although
the company has been purchased
by a larger firm, we are confident
the basic goal of providing quality
products at competitive prices
continues to prevail.
Too, the brand) occupies a
portion of a discarded plant which
Jimbo’s Jumbos, Inc., gave to the
Town of Edenton. In fact, then, it
demonstrates that the good deeds
of some can contribute to a better
deal for others.

Although both programs pay for
