THE CHOWAN HERAin
Woman’s Qub Sponsored Trip
By NoveOa WQbob
Hie Fannie A- Parker
Woman’s Club sponsored a
trip to Canada July 11-15.
After a scenic journey
through the countryside and
cities we landed at Niagara
Falls Canada.
After resting a while at
the fabulous Sherton
Foxhead Hotel, we started
on our guided tour of the
spectacular falls. At night
when the many beautiful
colored lights are on, the
falls take on the hue of a
massive rainbow. Beautiful
flowers were everywhere.
We were particularly fas
cinated by the floral clock
which keeps perfect time
even though its face is made
entirely of lovely flowers.
We saw and visited many
more interesting places and
things which are too
numerous to relate.
Leaving the falls Friday
morning, we traveled for
eight hours through Canada,
viewing rocks and hills,
rivers and streams, white
birch and cedar trees, all
entwined with many colorful
flowers..
Tobacco Prices Expected High
Tobacco Hopes...
N.C. tobacco markets
begin opening this
week amid extremely high
expectations from all in
volved. Speculation is that
prices this year could set
records for some of the best
looking leaf in recent years.
Preliminary reports show
that much (though not all)
of the bottom leaf tobacco is
being left in the field even
though few N.C. farmers
participated in an earlier
federal program to leave the
bottom leaves on the stalks.
If prices should go as high
as some hope, then maybe
the farmers can forego
carrying the inferior leaves
to market and thus avoid
further burdening of the
Federal Stabilization and
Price Support Program.
Perhaps then the
government can get rid of
some of the huge surplus of
bottom leaf bought and
stored under the program in
past years.
Such an effort is needed at
this critical time to help
‘‘tobacco state’’
Congressmen in the ongoing
battle to keep the
stabilization program in
tact.
ERA...In Washington,
efforts are continuing to
extend the deadline for
acceptance of the Equal
Rights Amendment for
women by the required 38
states.
The House passed a three
year extension last week

j We landed at historic
Montreal, a city of ap
proximately 3-milUon
people of many ethnic
groups. Having had a restful
night at the huge 19 story
Holiday Inn, we embarked
on a guided tour of historic,
and modern Montreal. One
most memorable sight
was the historic Eglise
Notre Dame Church. All the
beautiful woodwork and
statues were hand carved,
dating back to the 16th
Century. The handpainted
windows against the
flickering candle lights
reflected a calm spiritual
atmosphere.
From Notre Dame we
journeyed to the world-famed
Shrine of Saint Joseph. The
Carillon is made up of 56
bells and is said to be the
largest" in North America.
The stained glass windows
tell the story of the work of
St. Joseph. In the Oratary
were hundreds of lighted
candles, most of which were
in red. In the basement were
many relics, such as canes,
crutches, shoes, and even
wooden legs; said to have
and the extension must now
pass the Senate.
The action in Washington
should be of particular in
terest to North Carolinians
because North Carolina will
surely be a primary bat
tlefield for the opposing
forces of ERA if the ex
tension is approved.
Although ERA has lost in
prior votes by the General
Assembly, backers of the
amendment are hoping for a
change of heart and vote.
Christian Schools in
Court... Unless an out-of
court compromise is
reached, Raleigh will be the
scene of some interesting
courtroom action for the
next week or so.
Attorney Willliam Ball of
Pennsylvania is in town
representing 11 Christian
schools involved in a class
action suit with the state.
The suit, filed by North
Carolina, asks the court to
determine whether the state
has the authority to require
certain minimum standards
in the Christian schools.
The schools say no.
Ball is reportedly one of
the foremost constitutional
lawyers in the U.S. He will
be assisted by the schools
local attorney, Thomas E.
Strickland of Goldsboro
also an acknowledged
authority on constitutional
law as well as state
government.
Cabinet Retreat... Gov.
Hunt announced last week
at his regular news con
Thursday, July 27, 1978
been left there by persons
who have been healed of
some (headed disease.
Leaving the Holy shi-tm*
we toured both old and new
Montreal seeing such sights
as home of the 1978 Olym
pics, Millionare Hill, with its
magnificent and elegant
homes, enormous castles
and beautiful gardens.
Other places of interest
were famous buildings, with
a variety of architectural
structure, many factories
for processing grain, and
sugar.
Lewis Bdfield and Ralph
Cole took in a major league
baseball game being played
between the Astros and the
Expos. The ladies were
thrilled while shopping and
window shopping on the
picturesque street of St.
Catherine, admiring the
new fall styles and colors.
Even though the trip was
marvelous all were glad to
return to dear old Edenton.
We are sure that having
taken this trip our summer
has been made richer and
more exciting for all.
ference that he and his
cabinet secretaries as well
as members of his staff had
taken a daylong “retreat” to
review his adminstration
and to look at its future.
Hunt listed several areas
where progress had been
made and even gave
examples in economic
development, education,
crime control, citizen in
volvement, and others.
The governor also spoke
of the areas where his ad
ministration would continue
to place special emphasis
including balanced growth,
human development, and
government improvement.
Obviously, the governor
had some very worthwhile
achievements and goals to
discuss but the most telling
sign of how well his ad
ministration is doing was
that he had the time tatalk
about his accomplishments
at all.
There simply were no
crises, no emergencies, or
hurried resignations to get
in the way. Things seem to
be going rather smoothly in
the Old North State.
Visit Scheduled
Hazel Tayloe, Job Corps
counselor, will be at the
Chowan County Department
of Social Services during the
morning hours of August 9.
