The Chowan Herald Vo). XLVII - No. 9 The superintendent of public schools along the Public Parade is not hardly paid as well as we gave him credit in this space last week. In a piece about local sup plements a “1” was omitted when we ranked Supt. John Dunn of Edenton-Chowan Schools. His supplement puts him 113 th among his peers, not 13th as appeared in the paper. Our story then, was not hardly correct. Dr. Dunn is sorry that his take from the public till along the Public Parade isn’t so hefty. We’re sorry our unintentional error put him in such elite com pany salary-wise. Frank Williams, Jr. Deerfield will never be the same. The squire succumbed last week to a lingering illness. The fierce battle Frank Williams waged against strong medical odds was indicative of the way he lived. Death was one of the very few things he wasn’t able to conquer; but when it came he was ready and went peacefully. Deerfield is the Williams estate in Yeopim. It is where Frank and Stranger reared two sons and a daughter. It is where a vineyard was established along the Public Parade; one which rivaled not only those in California and New York State, but those in foreign lands. But more than anything else, Deerfield was so close to heaven for Frank Williams that he didn’t have far to go when the trumpet beckoned. It holds many treasurers of an infringing past; each with a story which is filled with adventure and purpose. The squire of Deerfield thrived on things which challenged the mind, body and soul. When we got to know him some 17 years ago, he was “into” printing. He had mastered the skills around Darf and when instant printing couldn’t be obtained, he welcomed the challenge to become a printer. The first floor of a farm house was turned into a printing plant. The facilities wouldn’t have passed any inspection we know about, but the results turned out by this apprentice could boggle the mind. Frank and his two half-brothers - T.B.H. and George Wood - could just about whip any problem, and accept any challenge. When the company they operated was asked to design a grape harvester, it wasn’t like inventing a better mouse trap. There were fewer grapes along the Public Parade than mice. This was soon tackled by the trio and Frank was soon in the vineyard business. Deerfield Vineyards became a reality. This was followed by Deerfield Wine Continued On Page 4 j I _.

Winslow Dr. Leibert DeVine was the recipient of this year’s Jaycee Distinguished Service Award, which was presented last Thurs day night at the 28th annual DSA Banquet.

These, and numerous other honors, proved that Dr. DeVine is a very deserv ing recipient of the award. He is presently setting up a Drug Abuse Program through the Chowan- Edenton Optimist Club. In accepting the award, Dr. DeVine simply said, “I didn’t realize that I had done so much. This is really an honor.” The DSA, given for the first time in 1954 to James P. Ricks, Jr., has Ten private rooms for medical and surgical patients will be ad ded, thereby eliminating the in convenience to patients during high census periods. Due to the growth of modern technology, several of the hospital’s ancillary departments will be expanded, including Laboratory, Physical Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Radiology, and the Emergency Room area. Nuclear Medicine, a new service of the Radiology department, will eliminate the need for many patients to leave Chowan County for nuclear scans at other medical facilities. Other departments which will be enlarged or renovated include Administration, Data Processing, Dietary, Housekeeping, General Stores, Pharmacy, and Plant Operations. Four intensive care beds, now located on the ground floor, wall be moved to the second floor, where all other patient beds are located. This will permit cross-coverage by nursing units and be more cost effective. The construction program will encompass 8,700 square feet of renovated space and 14,220 square feet of new space.

In his speech, he noted the many things the Edenton Jaycees have done for their community.

Last year they sold 1800 jars of grape jelly with all proceeds going to help build the N. C. Jaycee Burn Center at N. C. Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill. This Burn Center is now open and can house 23 burn victims from across North Carolina. The Jaycees provided the manpower to help run last spring’s Special Olympics. They assisted the Optimist Club with last year’s Fourth of July celebration in Edenton. They ran the concession stands at John A. Holmes home football games, and also sent the team to the Boys Home Game in Green ville last summer. A Bike-A-Thon held by the Jaycees in the fall raised a large amount of money for Cystic Fibrosis and Leukemia. They also made a contribution to help build a Continued On Page 4 hospital, the renovation of the long-term care facilities, the addition of the educational annex, the introduction of fulltime Emergency Room physicians and reimbursement for charity care.
