pfe mmwSmmM President Jimmy Carter ’ -jPo^ Rep. Charles Evans General Election The 1980 General Election will be held Tuesday along the Public Parade and throughout the state and nation. This is the opportunity citizens eligible to vote have to get a message to the elected officials. There are 6,103 registered voters in Chowan County -a record number. If the interest in this election can be predicted by those who made application for Absentee ballots, Tuesday will be a busy place at the six polling places irrthts county Voting is not a mere right, it is a big responsibility. In a close election a vote here and there can make the difference. The fact that there are no purely local contests in Tuesday’s election will tend to hold down participation along the Public Parade. This should not be the case. You, as a voter, have your choices. We have ours. Here they are: We will vote for the re-election of President Carter. His record in many quarters over the past four years has certainly not been something to write home about. He went to Washington with something less than a mandate and once he got there he tried to run the nation as he ran the State of Georgia. It didn’t work. As with any newcomer there was a period of testing by the Congress; also by the Carter Administration. The president got his hands slapped pretty con sistently for a while and we think iifthe future there will be a better working relationship between the executive and legislative branches in Washington. We will vote for the re-election of Sen. Robert Morgan. While Sen. Morgan at times has appeared to be more interested in attempting to save the nation than more ef ficiently work for his Tar Heel constituents, he deserves to be re jected. Sen. Morgan is being unjustly criticized by a well-financed op ponent who has been readily available to fill any spot on the Republican ticket. One can not minimize the effect of Sen. Jesse Herns’ organization, money will not buy an election in North Carolina. While we agree with the argument that you have to start somehwere to gain experience in a particular field, this state is not ready for any pioneering in such a lofty elective office. We will vote for the re-election of Gov. Jim Hunt. Over the past four years we have been critical of the Hunt Administration; one area being that the mandate of 1976 was taken too seriously.

Jr. Strong Defense Halts Williamston The Edenton Aces defense proved its worth Monday night, pulling in six interceptions and scoring on a blocked kick, cour tesy of tackle Ernest Riddick and defensive back Thomas White, who scooped up the loose ball and sprinted 93 yards for the score. The end result was a 15-3 victory for the Aces, besting a desperate Williamston Tigers grid squad. The Aces remained scoreless through the first half, noting a 3-0 halftime deficit resulting from a Williamston field goal from 22 yards out with 32 seconds remaining in the second quarter. The Tigers found themselves in field goal range again early in the second half, but defensive tackle Ernest Riddick burst through the Tigers’ offense, blocking the kick and setting the stage for White who grabbed the ball and beat Williamston quarterback Jim Lilley in a foot race for the goal line. A fumbled snap to punter Ed Small gave the Tigers a dangerous posession on the Edenton 28 with 4:20 left in the fourth quarter. Lilley of the Tigers took to the air, but the pass was dropped. On the next play linebacker Henry Drew picked off and aerial and returned it to the Edenton 37. Aces quarterback Steve Holley stepped in to let loose a bomb to White for a 63 yard score. White then took the snap on the extra point attempt and passed to Cedric Harrell who took it in for two more points, giving the Aces their final 15-3 score. Peoples Bank Deposits Funds Peoples Bank & Trust Company in Edenton put $155,811 into the economy Friday. It was in the form of savings deposited into the annoal Christmas Club.

West Edenton voters go to Edenton Municipal Building Approval Moves A Step Closer Chowan Hospital last Thursday night moved a step closer to gaining needed approval for a 10- bed expansion and the hospital director is cautiously optimistic. The project review committee of the Eastern Carolina Health System Agency approval was deemed an important step in the climb to ultimate state approval. The local 61-bed hospital has petitioned to have the 1980 State Health Plan amended to allow for the expansion. As now written, the plan shows the 10-county Region “R” as five excess beds. Scores of witnesses testified in favor of the petition at a public hearing here earlier this month. If approved, the modification would be the first in the state. The application will go before the full ECHSA’s governing board on November 12. It must then move through the bureaucracy in Raleigh. Ultimate approval would result in a certificate of need which is necessary for con struction. David Henson, hospital director, was pleased with Thursday night’s committee action, but remains apprehensive about the ultimate fate of the petition. “Right now we’re inconsistent with the state, and they would have to deny it,” Continued on Page 4 Utility Charges To Be Reduced Virginia Electric and Power Company has received approval from the N. C. Utilities Com mission to reduce customers’ bills almost 3 per cent during December, January, February and March. The reduction will lower a 1,000 kilowatt-hour per month residential customer’s bill by $1.87, from $62.86 to $60.99 based on present winter rates. Those customers qualifying for the energy conservation rate would see a reduction to $58.41. The reduction reflects lower fuel expenses during May, June, July and August, 1980. Randy Mclver, Vepco’s Southern Division vice president, said fuel expenses were lower because Vepco was able to increase use of nuclear and coal generation, and decrease use of expensive oil. Vepco previously reduced rates about 1 per cent during August through November, because of lower fuel costs during the first quarter of i 960. Edenton, North Caroline.

Kehayes, owner of the building and former operator of P & Q Supermarket, for the brief ceremony. About two months of extensive renovation preceeded the grand opening.

Rose features a snack counter in the back of the store. Numerous new lines have been added and merchandise display is greatly improved, he stated. Byron Kehayes, who was the first person to pass through the check-out line, said the change was “just fantastic” For 47 years, Roses operated out of what was once three separate buildings combined into one by removing several walls. The firm also paid rent to three different individuals. According to Hutton, the lack of space apparently didn’t keep customers from shopping there. He said the Edenton store has been considered one of the most productive in the chain. P. H. Rose employs about 25 persons and is managed by all local people.
