THIS WEEK’S BIBI.E THOUGHT
WE ARE KNOWN BY WHAT WE SAY: Bu! I sav
unto vou, that everv idle word that men shall speak, they
shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For
by thv words thou shall be justified, and by tin words
thou shall be condemned—Matt. 12:36-3.
State's No. 1 Problem
Almost everybody likes a riddle. Here’s one, V\ hat
is it that every person needs, wants and would spend a
fortune to get: yet something that everybody has with
in easy reach, often already possesses without apprec
iating, and as often loses by ones own carelessness: and
something that all who have a sense of responsibility
in society should he willing to Itelp all nth,.rs attain
ami keep?
The answer..is just one word health. That is every-,
body’s Number One problem. It. is definitely "North
Carolina’s Number One Problem
Too many things in our modern ami complex society
rest in the realm of the visionary and even impossible,
but; here is a great need that we can do something about.
And an interested group of North Carolinians are cut
to do something about it
Recognizing the perilous state of the health of North
Carolinians causing North Carolina to be ranked woe
fully near the bottom in a comparison of health factors
in the nation, "these citizens through the North Carolina
Good Health Association are out to sell good health'to
the people of Tar lleelia.
This .means providing medics’ care for'eye-ry citizen
• f the State, placing: hospitalization within a twenty
five mile reach of every citizen., preaching tile practice
of preventative medicine to lessen disease and its re
sults, and providing more do, tors, dentists, nurse and
medical associates to serve North Carolinians.
A great program but not an impossible due! The
General. Assembly of North. Carolina has already put its
blessing on such a program. Now it remains for the
money to be provided, and that wilt be prov ided if the
people of North Carolina want it.
Last Saturday night. November 9th. the Good Health
campaign was launched in.the State with a radio broad
cast from Hollywood. Chowan County people might well
got behind this Good Health program and help.to,see to
it that no longer North Carolii a neglects the health of
its people
Welcome, All!

j Heard & Seen!
By “Buff” I
| Os course, it became somewhat cooler Tuesday night,
but the sort of summer-time weather we’ve been having j
\ might help out the farmer. Take Louis Francis, for in- |
| stance. He has a pear tree which is blooming a second ■
time, "and in many tobacco fields it looks as though the
I bloomin' stuff is trying to make another crop. Cotton !
! stalks, too, in some fields are sprouting out. Well, may- ;
be some of the farmers could use a second crop, for from
reports, the first crop wasn't much to brag about.
As this paragraph is written, I'm smoking a good ,
j cigar. Where did 1 get it ? Why from Jesse Harrell, for ,
1 he's one of the new" daddies in Edenton. Jesse was j
j passing out cigars Saturday morning—and Tie didn’t
i have to be reminded of it.
I —■
And speaking about cigars, Arthur Hollowell ought
1 to Come across. He’s .not a new daddy, but last week
- he became a grandpappy, his daughter, Frances, giving
birth to a son in Massachusetts. Now Grandpa and
Grandma Hollowell are itching to make a trip to New
, England to see their first grandchild.
Both the Edenton and Hertford cheering sections put
out a lot of racket at Monday night's football game.
I'll have to hand it to the Hertford crowd, however, for
originality. Near the end of the game when the Hert
ford Indians were making some headway toward a touch
down, the cheering section burst forthwith the popular
song, "Give Us Five Minutes More, Only Five Minutes
More." Anyway, the Aces won 19-7. which was sweet
revenge for a former ri-o whipping.
- - ■>
Incidentally, thanks to Hertford, a hand added some
color to the game. The Perquimans High .School Band
presented a creditable performance between 'halves and
the outfit was given a big hand by both Edenton and
Hertford fans, But. when will Edenton have its own
hand to applaud. "When?" that is!

State Highway workers have fallen down on the job
in one instance, if you ask me. They have placed a lot
of rock on certain sections of the Yeopim road down to
ward Joe Webb's place, but failed to put any up the lane
to his house and on down to the hay house and landing
along the creek. Gosh, those highway people don't even
know bow important that road is.
And speaking about Yeopim River. Oscar Duncan,
John Lee Spruill and Bill Sexton have been recent fisher
men in the area. "I'll sell my ‘interest’ in Yeopim River
to anyone,’’ stated each one of them—which means. 1
take it. that they didn't catch any fish.
Maybe fishermen should adopt a policy used by sports
men who go out after deer. I’m told that if a hunter
shoots at a deer and misses, his shirt-tail is cut off and
no fooling about it. And I understand several local fel
lows have been deer: bunting lately and the way I get
; it they missed good shots, so that they had to eat “shirt
tail soup," which isn't good for the pallet—-nor very good
to bray about after coming home. We hear about a deer
being shot more often than shirt-tails being cut off. just
as we hear more often about some guy catching a nice
string of fish, but hear very little when he comes home
empty-handed.

E. T. RawTinson is-penned up at his home due to a
bad case of lumbago. He was better Tuesday,"good for
him. for 1 understand the doctor was planning on put
ting him ip something like a straight jacket. Well,
that's one way the Missus can handle ,him. ;
Fdenton's Aces had a holiday Tuesday, for Coach Tex
Lindsay did not require them to practice. The hoys,
while not injured in Monday night’s game with Hert
ford, .were pretty well shaken- : up, so that they were
given a chance to rest. However, with Ahoskie on deck
Friday night and the following Friday the Elizabeth
City Yellow Jackets. Coach Lindsay will expect the
hoys to put out more than, ever the rest of the way.
The Aces have won five straight after losing the first
three games, so if they can upset Elizabeth City, the
season will be considered a howling success. The Aces
will be the underdogs, but so have a lot of other teams
been underdogs this season to upset the whole bloomin'
football apple cart.

A new-.and very attractive chandelier, as well as pic
tures of Joseph Hewes and Hugh Williamson now- adorn
the panel room in the Court House. Being called up
very frequently to show visitors the old Masonic lodge
Toom, as well as . the panel room, I'm receptive to the
sort of speech to put out regarding the chandelier. Os
course, I might tell folks that the Duke of Albemarle,
whoso picture also hangs on the wall, Hewes aiid Wil
liamson lived there, but it. might not be safe to tell ’em
that the chandelier was there since the Court House was
built. It’s easy to get history mixed up a little, you
know. Anyway, the room is more attractive since the
addition was made, and the Fane! Room committee, I
presume, would like anybody to look it over.
I’m supposed to be at New Bern today with other
Edenton Masons to take some of the higher Masonic
degrees. But things went wrong, so here I am. I’m
going to use what money would have been necessary
to go toward buying a pound of lard or so,
Yep, people in Edenton have a lot of faith in folks,
for the other day a safe was parked on the sidewalk
near the police station, and to make it more convenient,
the door was even hanging open. Maybe we’re getting
better after all, but then I don’t know what might have
been inside the safe—-most likely nothing.
