THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT 'AI.MNKSS IN IMMENSITY: Look unto thi heav ens and see; and behold the clouds.which are. higher than thou, : Job 35:5. Not As Big As It Sounds 1 own ■ Council on Monday night authorized the. issuance or Town of Edenton Lunds mot to exceed St 70.000 for the purpose of street improvements and also called a special election to vote on the matter on Saturtlay. J uly .2 7., Os course, $370.00c is.a lot of money and the first objection which will no doubt be heard will be that it is too much money to invest in improvements and that taxes will ne cessarily be increased. In the first place, authorization of the S 170.000 bond issue does not necessarily, mean, that that amount will be spent. In fact, it is reasonably cer tain that it will not. Xor does it mean that all of the proposed work has to be done, or any part of it. It is a legal procedure necessary before bonds can be' sold, so that the $370,000 figure was arrived at from an estimate for. doing all of the work, which includes paving practically all of the remaining dirt streets, installing curbs and gutters and im proving the 'storm drainage system, as the result of which unsightly and dangerous ditches would be x vised. If these improvements are made, it will be the greatest forward Step Edenton ha- made in over a . .carter of ,a Century when; present ha.rd-s.urfacihg vas;done. According to some people who were here at that time a great hiivvlwent up that the town would be ruined and that taxpayers would ocvVr be able to pay for. it:. Hut who would be willing to return to conditions a- they existed a! that timer It is reasonable, too: to Expect the same attitude to prevail years hence if the im on \vments are made now at a lime when the Town - out of debt and taxpayers are better able to pay axes than .they have ever betii before. Besides, the inilial ; o-t i- not all to be consid ered, tor in the course of tune the. resultant saving • « the Street Department will greatly offset the .u-t. Tlie Street Department budget is by tar the ’arge-i item in the Town's annual expenditures, and with paved streets and closed ditches, much of / file present; maintenance. < \p< n-i could he elimin ated.

In. an. effort to provide some relief, calcium chlor ide wa- spreaddii dirt streets the last two years ftp hold down du.-t, which, is a very costly proposition. To be really effective, two application- a year , sh.ou 11! be ffrovided. and to coverall of the present dirt -treets the amount needed for only one appli cation costs over Sr.occ. so that if this proceedtire i- eontinued it isn't difficult to figure the -a\ingot this item alone over a period: of years. Under ..present condition- it is necessary to. grade; streets to make them usable, but after every rain the streets are torn up. so t hat it is necessary to do the same, work over and over again to keep the streets in any kind of condition. This work akine call- for an expensive grading machine and almost all of one man s time. Os course, to keep abreast of the times: costs money, but in this respect Edenton is lagging, For towns about the size of Edenton the average amount of hard surfaced streets is around:Bo per “MAKE IT A MILLION!"

Cap’n Dick Halt on Tuesday received a letter from E. j L. Baker of Greenville, stating that trees in Greenville are similarly affected, and noticing an item in The News and Observer that Edenton used a tire truck to spray ; the trees, he wants to know what solution was used, j ; Cap'n Dick has answered that soap suds; were used, but ; he hasn’t been able to toil the Greenville man where : he can get the soap powder.

Mrs. Ro.xie Nixon, who died June 1(), 1941: .tune is here again, and to me this . month is sad, For that's \\ nen. God took mother away and I hated to see her g< so had. : Five years she has been gone, but it seems like fifty to me, Recaase all I have of her now. is just a memory. Oh so sad the farewell, it hurt me more than I could tell. But God looked down from Heaven above and comforted me with His ■ wonderful love. How she did suffer in this, world is more than tongue can tell, Rut 1 know she’s up there now and has bid suffering farewell, When I think of days gone by, I wonder why she had to die, And leave me in this world to roam, For there’s no place now that seems like home. My mother was so kind and good, She always did the things she should To help others in every way, She trusted in God every day. I lovtS to go back to the old home, For that’s where my thoughts so often roam, But it will never seem like home no more, Since God called mother to the other shore. Oh I miss her more each day I miss her in every way, And with God’s help 1 will prepare To nieet her some day up there. It is true as it has been said. You never miss your mother until she is dead, Sisters can be kind, brothers can be good, But they can never do like your mother would. Memories of my mother are so sweet to me, And I know they will always be. —Written by her daughter, Bessie Mae Nixon, Winston-Salem, N. C.
