THURSDAY, APRIL 9,1953 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heav en— Matt. 16: 19. . '. , The Golden Key in the ministry of teaching places upon every follower of Christ not only privilege but responsi bility to unlock the mysteries of the redeeming Gospel of the Saviour. Our failure to use the keys of God can de feat His purpose for the redemption of mankind. ,We thank Thee for the Keys, O Lord, may we not fail to use them for the good of others. Welcome, Visitors Members of the Edenton Woman’s Club, owners of his torical shrines, citizens in general and even Mother Na ture are all set for the third Pilgrimage of Colonial Eden ton and Countryside which takes place Friday and Sat urday of this week. No little time and effort has been given to this event by various members of the Woman’s Club which is, without doubt, one of the most widespread pieces of publicity the town has ever had. There have been many details to be worked out .and, so far as is known, no stone 'has been left unturned to make the tour the most successful ever undertaken. Too long Edenton has hid its light under a bushel, so that it isn’t surprising at various times to hear visitors comment upon .the rich historical heritage and 1 the beauty of nature to be found in our midst. The places to be visited by the 'large number of visitors expected are as attractive as they ever were, and with a town whose citizens for the most part have tidied up their premises, those who participate in the tour should be very favorably impressed. To be sure Edenton -will be delighted to have these visitors come here as guests for two days and in keeping with the reputation of Edenton ians and Chowan County people in general, they will experience a true sample of Southern hospitality. The Herald hopes each and every visitor will enjoy his or her visit and carry back home a fond recollection of an enjoyable tour and time vftll spent. Slaughter Goes On One of the most horrible accidents in many years oc curred Monday night on the 'Albemarle Sound Bridge, when the lives of three Negroes were snuffed out and a fourth is a patient in the hospital. In one instance the entire head was decapitated, another victim’s head was a crushed mass, and the car was reduced to a pile of junk. From information available the wreck was the result of driving at an excessive speed, which is the cause of many automobile wrecks. Much has been said and printed 1 about speeding and other forms of reckless driving, so that sometimes it ap pears as though all of the appealing and urging for sane driving practices falls on deaf ears.. The slaughter, how ever, goes on and will not abate until all drivers use a certain amount of common sense when they are behind the wheel. • • DOEXjAR FOU BOEEAB YOU UAN'T BEAT A _ Pontiac !

Heard & Seen By “Buff” » T 1 ——” * The Chowan Skeet Club opened with a bang last Wed nesday afternoon. The new president, Ernest Kehayes, was delighted to see such a nice crowd. Some of the members were really hot, in fact in the old men class J. G. Perry and L. IS. Byrum sizzled, ff. G. Perry came through with a fifty straight; Paul Chappell, 125 straight; L. S. Byrum, 24 out of 25; J. R Byrum, 24 out of 26. P. G. Perry was doing good l until he missed a couple of birds, then disgusted he started shooting with one hand and came through with a nineteen. Not bad 1 eh! (Visit the Skeet Club and watch the local men shoot, they will surprise you. It’s puzzling how figures get jumbled up at times even when a fellow isn’t figuring on income returns. Take last week for instance in the March of (Dimes story. I clearly wrote on my copy that this year’s March of (Dimes contributions exceeded last year by s7jls, but when the paper was printed the figure read 15i1.75. The same fig ures, you see, but the wrong arrangement. But now I find that the'"s7.ls was not correct either, for when counting the money in envelopes Mrs. Inez Moran, treasurer, counted $137.20, which came from the rural section. I had figured $122.05 by adding the slips but there was actually more money in the envelopes than the slips called for. Contributions continue to trickle fin, for this week Miss Rebecca Colwell brought in $59.65 more from the rural section, so that now this year’s drive has rais ed $1,910.11, which is $81.95 over last year’s figure of $1,828.16, and the second largest made in a March of Dimes drive since it was inaugurated. T’anfcs, folks. o Chowan County Commissioners met Friday morning instead of Monday of this week on account of Easter Monday. Chairman West Byrum was very generous in passing out a cigar to each one of the Commissioners and when I arrived a little late he also handed me one. “What’s the occasion?” I asked. “Well, draw your own conclusions,” was West’s reply. (Well, my conclusion is that the cigar must have been an Easter present. o • Douglas Sexton, 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Sexton, is starting to work right early. For some time now the youngster has been picking names out of the jury box for the County Commissioners in order to choose jurymen and he also picks names from this group to serve as the Grand Jury in Superior Court sessions. At the Commissioners’ meeting the boy picks up a little change, for each one present forks up a nickel or dime for his work. Os course, in Superior Court he is paid, but he doesn’t have to go around holding out his hand. At any rate, the other day when he was walking past the Court House he pointed to it and said, “That’s the build ing where I work.” * o It’s getting to be that in various organizations when a member makes a suggestion he or she pronto is ap pointed on a committee. This was the case at last week’s Rotary meeting when Col. Bill Rosevear advanced the idea of a local talent baseball league this summer in order to provide pleasure in the national pastime, 'Right away President (Bill 'Harry appointed Col. Rosevear on a com mittee to make an investigation. “No, please don’t,” pleaded Col. Rosevear, “for I’m now.” About that time one of the witty Rctarians piped up “With what?” — — o With ideal weather prevailing on Sunday the fair sex had a splendid opportunity to show off their Easter fin ery—and a lot of ’em did. The weather also resulted in a field day for the churches, •where, in all cases I’ve heard from, the front seats for once got a dusting off. Well, going to Church is,, no deubt, over for another year in some cases. Which reminds me off a suggestion I heard regarding the Methodist Church. 1 heard a fellow tnake this remark: “If Mr. Edwards preached from the back of the church, would the folks flock down to the front seats?” Well, we might turn the seats around some Sunday and find out. At any rate, all of the churches were very attractive with beautiful flowers on Sunday, and it would' be a good thing for the church and folks, too, if so many of the pews were filled every Sunday.
