THURSDAY, DECEMBER 80, 1948 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: KEEP THEM ALL: Thou shalt love the Load thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. —Mark 12:30. Not Just Another New Year Again arriving on the threshold of a new year, the occasion presents an opportunity for human Usings to consider their progress and to make plans tor the future. These psychological pauses ir. the process of exist ence serve a useful purpose, provided the individual understands that the calendar year is a device of man to record the cycle of life and that what men and women think and do are more important than the cur rent season. As Americans await the fruits of 1944, there is one thought uppermost in the minds of all. We know that in the next 12 months thousands of our young men must buy, with their lives, the precious heritage of liberty which has been bequeathed to us by the past. Many families in this land will mark 1944 by the loss of loved ones, slain in the areas of combat throughout the world. They will be grief-stricken and ponder the poignant pain that stabs into their hearts. They will doubtless wonder if the sacrifice is in vain. Many other Americans will not have this sad ex perience, but they have a tremendous obligation as loyai patriots. It is their task to make certain the gains of freedom and to guarantee, by their conduct, that no American shall die on the battlefield for naught. It is not a pleasant prospect that looms before us. In other years we could expect pleasures and prosperity. Now, we must await inexorable fate that wul scatter sorrow and death among our homes. It is time for us to rededicate ouraelveß to the faiths and the hopes and promises of real Americans. The year 1944 should not be a year for profit-making and self-seeking. It is destined to belong to those who suffer, sacrifice and serve. Its gifts will include death and sorrow to many thousands and life and liberty to j many millions. Besides these fruits, what else matters? / Wise Decision With the stage all set for the community Christmas celebration on the Court House Green Sunday after noon, a continuous downpour throughout Saturday night and on up to only a short time before the pro gram was scheduled to get under way, threw a crimp into what was anticipated to have been a delightful only -for* local* psojte, but; for service boys fed girls as well, who Were obliged to spend Christmas here instead of at their respective homes. It is too bad that the affair had to be called off, but the committee acted wisely in doing so, for with weather conditions as they were, coupled with so much prevailing sickness, it might have caused more sickness than it would have pleasure for those who would have ventured out. The committee also acted wisely in abandoning the celebration altogether, instead of having the program New Year's Eve, as was being considered. While the celebration did not materialize due to weather conditions, the spirit was present nonetheless, and it is hoped that the service men and women will realise that it was the purpose of Edenton people to make the holiday as enioyable as possible while aw«v from home and laved MM* | 4 §■■■■■ Were I so tall to reach the pole, 1 Or grasp the ocean with my span, t I must be measured by my soul; i The mind’s the standard of the man.

V “ -r O' " —— Speaking of cat fever, Jim Cates has a different name for itfor he says it’s “fishitis.” He adopted the name because he became ill shortly after spending one of the raw days we’ve bean having lately down back of Joe Webb’s trying, to bring in a string of fish which would make the rest of the boys jealous. ' ' O Hot dog! Another batch of precious pipe cleaners came in the mail Wednesday morning. They came from Thomas Cheats, with the letter postmarked Richmond. “Saw in The Chowan Herald you were short of pipe cleaners. It pays to advertise,” wrote Friend Chears on a beautiful Christmas greeting pamphlet. Both were appreciated, but the pipe cleaners will do the most good. \ o . > Incidentally, I want to thank all of my friends for the Christmas cards received. It is impossible to remember: ’em all, but they were beautiful and the thoughts con veyed makes a fellow happy he’s alive, even if it is a devil of a job to get gas, sugar, tires and other things we’d like to have. • o Though 18 issues have already made their appearapee, only last week I saw for the first time a copy of rThe Chowan Leatherneck,” published by and for the person- j nel of the U. S. Marine Corps Air Station. Chaplain Henry Chace is editor and Lieutenant Ann ( Neely is associate editor. And to think I’ve been hang- j ing around Chaplain Chace at the Rotary meetings all. this time not knowing that he was also an editor. | Anyway, if he and his assistant have as hard a time getting out the sheet as the two Herald publishers have; sometimes —well, here’s a hand full of sympathy. o ( If everybody did as Hughes-Holton Hardware Com pany did last week, maybe The Herald would have more revenue coming in. Dave Holton and Gus Hughes,; both very accommodating fellows, have loaned a number of items on the promise that they' would be return ea and, as is usually the case, when the things are needed, they have not been returned, and many times a fellow forgets to whom a tool ot something was loaned. The hardware concern, last week advertised for the return of some tools loaned out. “We know it is a lot of trou ble to return borrowed property,’’ said the two fellows above, and I might add that it is just as much trouble to the party doing the loaning in order to accommodate a friend, so that the least to be expected is that borrow ed things be promptly returned. o It’e. getting to be a small world, for while limburger cheese is a favorite in some parts of Pennsylvania, a few guys at Yatos’ Service Station pulled off a lim burger cheese party the other night I’ve not figured out how the stuff got here, but it must have been sent to some of the fellows now here from the Keystone Strife. I was absent, for in eating a sandwich I use both hands, but when it’s limburger cheese, one hand must be used in holding the nose shut And to think that some of those Pennsylvania Dutch folks claim that smoked herring stink. What a queer world! o Because he has an undo in the Navy, my grandson has for some time had a preference for that branch of the | service, but while on a recent visit it looks as though he has been won over by the Marines. He was on the way home taking a copy of The Herald to his grandmother • when he was asked by a Marine if he was selling papers. The youngster has better manners than his grand pappy and replied, “No, sir, I’m taking a paper home to my Granny.” The Marine said, “Don’t say ‘sir* to me, tor I’m only a sergeant,” and handed the boy 15 cents with the admonition to be a good boy and join the Marines j when he gets big enough. In walking up and down the “avenue” one often over hears some interesting and enlightening remarks. For instance, the other day a group of men were talking about farm affairs when one of ’em said, There are two kinds of farmers —one who lives on a farm and another who farms.” Maybe they were discussing a subject m the same category as an old maid parting with advice on how to properly rear children. O' 7*" Dick Dixon, a student at Augusta Military Academy ! at Fort Defiance, Va., hqp continued beating a drum and i his usual whistling. He’s getting along all nght with 1 the drum, but his whistling got him in trouble some I time ago.

Ush ers were: Taft Cozart of Roxboro, Jack Cozart of Durham, brothers of the bride, and Muriell Byrum and Hanford Mcktider, of Newport News. Following the ceremony, a recep tion was held at the home of the bride’s parents. The house was decorated with holly, carnations, greens and burning tapers.

' Miss Elizabeth Elliott presided in the gift room. , Mrs. Elliott Belch showed the guests to the dining room, where : Miss Mary Arrington Burton served punch and Miss Gladys Dickerson, of ; Roxboro, and Mis§_ Mary Esther Belch served refreshments. The dining table was covered with Ja lace cloth and burning tapers were 1 effectively used. A four-tiered wed ding cake, topped by a miniature bride and groom, was served by Mrs. Medlin Belch. After the reception, the couple left for a wedding trip, after which they will be at home in Newport News. For travelling the bride wore a tweed suit in tones of aqua and beige with a dark brown hat and muff bag matching. Her corsage was an ore rid taken from her bridal bouquet Mrs. Belch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Cozart, was graduated from the Edenton High School. Mr. Belch, a son of Mr. and Mrs. I* W.
