THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT WE ARE NOT TOYS WOUND UP: For in Him we live and move and have our being—Acts 17:28. All Over But The Shouting Tuesday night the curtain was drawn on the Al bemarle League baseball season, which £ u * ing J*® BU ™‘ mer provided just about as good baseball for fans as desired. Os course, there were some sorry games, wnicn is the case in any baseball league, but for the most part very good baseball was the rule. ... The tension increased as the season progressed with the climax reached during the final series games be tween Edenton and Coleram, when the largest croivds ever assembled in Edenton for a baseball game turned out, not only from Edenton and Coleram, but from all the surrounding territory and even fans from a much farther distance. ... , ■ • While the popularity of the national pastime is re flected in the many people who attended games, yet it is no less true that for the most part fans are glad that it is all over. , . Two good teams opposed each other for the league championship, and in winning the honor, The Herald takes off its hat to the Bertie aggregation. Fans were thrilled during the series and in each game the. victor was in doubt until the very end of the game. Despite the keen rivalry and closely matched teams, an outstanding feature of the games was the lack ot arguments, which is a credit to members of both teams as well as the umpires. So, while fans and players were on edge during the grind, it is reasonable to believe that Colerain and Edenton have been drawn closer to gether as the result of the games, which is as it should be. It is a piece of nonsense for players or fans to be come so over-enthused over a baseball game, and what happens during one, to engender ill feeling and say or do what is unbecoming a youngster, much less men and women of more mature years. Colerain has won the championship and they are en titled to do the shouting. They should, and no doubt do, give credit to the Colonials as being a worthy op ponent, which makes the honor all the more deserved. Man Not So Powerful After All Man at times aspires to some degree of greatness and power, but there are times when man’s weakness and insignificance is very evident. For instance, when the elements turn loose their fury, what chance has man, with all of his greatness and power to stop them ? An incident in mind is a recent electrical storm during which a bolt of lightning struck and ignited a gasoline tanker a short distance from shore in Albemarle Sound. What man is he who could prevent the lightning play ing havoc as it did, or who can stop a torrent of rain or &»wber? ono ittrf Experience, All the different brands That's bow thousands of people smoked during smokers learned from the wartime cigarette actual smoking experi- ■ shortage?

I shall miss both of them, for Shelton was a pretty regular caller each Wednesday night to get his copy of The Herald soon after it was printed. Then I cannot forget the many pleasant hours I spent with Charlie at the power plant. Upon returning from many fishing trips, Charlie apparently enjoyed seeing the fish brought in as much as I enjoyed catching ’em. He apparently enjoyed the many oyster roasts held at the plant and always had a cheery word for anyone who called. Both Shelton and Charlie were quiet and unassuming men, a trait I admire, so that I will miss both of them. I, therefore, join in extending my sympathy to both families.- Maybe there’s certain ways of serving the Lord, but I overheard a colored woman the other day who differed with her pastor. The preacher asked the congregation to stand and sing, but the colored woman refused. “If I can’t do the Lord any good sitting down, I’lT not sing,” she told a friend in front of The Herald office. I second the motion, and during the hot weather, if a fellow can not worship the Lord without a coat, the bloomin’ churches ought to provide air conditioned buildings— or else not go to church. Most folks do the latter. It’s hard to figure out what some baseball fans think of batters. The other night one of the fans yelled to the pitcher: “You better walk that man.” And in a more moderate tone said “ —that is if you want him to get on base.” o And then its not so easy to figure out what some fel lows expect for supper. The other night Branning Perry said, “Well, I guess I’ll go home and eat a nice big beef steak.” But a friend coyly remarked, “Yes, it’s the kind that swims.” o— I thought it was a pain in the neck during rationing days to stand in line for this or that reason, but that was a drop in the bucket compared with a pain some where else many folks experienced while sitting and waiting for ball games to start in Edenton the last week or so. Why some folks went as early as 6:30 so that they would have a seat to see the games which started at 8 o’clock. The board seats felt mighty hard so that there were several “stretches” instead of the usual one in the seventh inning. In some instances driveways and even streets were blocked by drivers who must have been over-anxious to get in the park, but they were notified over the loud speaker to move the things or else the police would move ’em with a truck. Yep, seats were at a premium and even standing room at the last few games was in the same category. Anyway, the base ball season is over, and now maybe we can start getting back to normal * again. Notice of various kinds of meetings should now be in order. With all of the newspaper folk in Edenton, add a new editor. He’s John A. Holmes, who edits the “Edenton Rotary Club Echoes”, which is distributed at the weekly meetings. It’s a nice little mimeographed sheet citing news of the Club and district, and if he wouldn’t give ’em away, I’d subscribe to it. Anyway, here’s hoping he doesn’t have the worries of getting out his paper like I have sometimes with mine. bring to a halt a wind of hurricane force. During the episode many people stood on the shore watching a boat as a blaze shot upward from the deck and saw men jumping overboard, no doubt fearing an explosion. Undoubtedly every onlooker would have liked to offer some assistance, but all were powerless. It is at such times that one has an opportunity to realize the power of the Almighty and the weakness and frail man. ■. , jicams’sl pool flavored BRANDY* CODE No. 6IS *I.BO ttj FULL PINT I^ol ro PROOF ?„TA I DV I p , H*.
