A LIFT FOR TODAY Thou shalt not raise a false report. l —Ex. 23:1. The slanderer inflicts wrong by calumnating the ab sent; and he who gives credit to the calumny before he knows its truth, is equally guilty.—Herodotus. May we bear false witness against no one, O God, and let not our hearts give lodging to evil reports. Hasten The Day At this season of the year one recalls the remark made on a vessel one time, “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.” It can in away be applied locally: “Water, water everywhere and not a decent place to go bathing.” All of which again arouses the idea that Edenton is sorely in need of a modem swimming pool for benefit of our people. Thanks to the Marines, some of our youngsters, through the cooperation of Ben Perry, recreational di rector, some of our kiddies will be able to enjoy the splendid swimming pool at the local Marine Corps Air Station this summer. Arrangements have been made with Marine Corps officials by Mr. Perry whereby he will be allowed to use the pool two hours five days in the week to instruct boys and girls to swim, and possibly ar rangements can be worked out for boys and girls who can swim to enjoy the pool. It is a fine thing for everybody to learn to swim, and more especially so here in Edenton, where so much water abounds. Os course, the fact that a person can swim is no guarantee that he will not drown in event of an ac cident while on or near the water, but without doubt it will serve anybody in good stead if the occasion arises when it is necessary to swim. The Marine Corps officials are to be commended for their generosity and cooperation in allowing the pool to be used to teach youngsters to swim, and The Herald hopes a large number will take advantage of this op portunity to enjoy the pool. Hasten the day when Eden ton, like many other towns, will be able to have a swim ming pool, wherd children and adults as well will be af forded the opportunity to learn to swim and get relief from the heat in water which will not present danger to health by reason of pollution. How Times Have Changed Over the years, American retailing has made enor mous advances in its services to the consumer —there is simply no comparison between the typical retail store of today and that of the past. And its employment policies have shown comparable progress. An amusing and significant example is found in a set of rules posted in an Illinois store back in 1880. These included the following: Store must be open from 6A. M. to 9 P. M. the year 'round. Store must be swept; coun ters, shelves and showcases dusted; lamps trimmed, filled and chimneys cleaned; doors and windows opened; a pail of water and a bucket of coal brought in before break fast. The employe who is in the habit of smoking Span ish cigars, being shaved at the barber’s, going to dances and other places of amusement, will assuredly give his employer reason to be suspicious of his integrity and hon esty. Each employe must pay not less than $5 a year to SALES and SERVICE g c i I ON ALL EQUIPMENT WE SELL JOHN BLUE DUSTERS To Fit All Popular Make Tractors SZT* • Mercury Outboard Motors Mg«i| • Briggs & Stratton Motors 3jFj ; |lO (Complete Line of Repair Pjrts) • Genuine John Deere Sweeps T • Disston Chain Saws • Myers Water Pumps pggljL • Marlow Portable Gasoline Water • Homko-Rotary Lawn Mowers (Briggs & Stratton Motor) • James-Way Hog Feeders , Hobbs Implement Co., Inc.

C., THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1963. »■■■■■■■■■■■■- ■ ■ *■ —, Heard & Seen By “Buff” In the mail the other day was a letter signed “A Citi zen, which reads as follows: “Mr. Bufflap: The idea of you making fun of a bully fighting a teen-ager. The incident is nothing to be laughed at. Ben Perry should be ashamed of himself. Why doesn’t he jump someone his size? I know he’s afraid someone would knock his nose up so it will rain in it. “Ben Perry really showed his ignorance. He acted like some barbaric African, yet he’s supposed to be intelli gent. He could have held the youth until policemen ar rived. Instead of his students taking a boxing lesson from him, I’d like to give Ben Perry a few. I’d like it very much if some bully would beat one of his kids and I wish the someone would be me.” Well, if the writer of the letter wants to tangle with Coach Perry, just let him go around peeping in his win dows. Furthermore, Coach Perry would like very much to talk to the writer of the letter, and if I know Mr. Perry, the writer can have his desire to give boxing les sons to the coach realized if he reveals his identity. Wonder what the writer of the letter would have done in a similar situation—invite the peeping tom in his home, offer him a cup of coffee, praise him for the act and ask him politely if he would mind having a conference with the police? One of these times a peeping tom is likely to weigh a little more due to carrying inside his hide a load or two of shot. No, this peeping tom business is not “to be laughed at” as the writer of the letter says. o Lately there has been a lot of digging around the Post Office and it hasn’t been unusual to see Postmaster David Holton sitting on his haunches around a pile of dirt. Nope, he hasn’t been looking for worms to go fishing, but instead he was trying to find what was clogging up the water drain and causing water to seep into the basement of the Post Office. Well, Bob Kennan and his gang of workers the other day, after digging what looked like a small mine, discovered that either a joint or two of pipe was not laid when the Post Office was built or else the pipe completely disappeared in the quicksand. Anyway, the deep hole is now covered up and Dave hopes he will not have to worry any more about water in the base ment. o Willard Rhoads built himself a pretty nice boat, which was completed in time to use for the first time Wednes day afternoon of last week. He asked me for a bottle of champagne to christen the thing in the Perquimans River. I offered to furnish a bottle of beer for the pur pose, but I think he settled for a bottle of Coca-cola. Miss Lena Jones left Monday for - Montreat, N. C., where she is spending her eighth season as hostess at Glen Rock Inn. Miss Lena says “Montreat is next to heaven,” but I don’t know if its the altitude she’s speak ing about or something else. Anyway, she says she hears some wonderful speakers out there, but again I don’t know what their subject might be. o Well, the Rotary Club’s “ugliest man” contest is over and the “honor” went to Gibson Brickie, who was 'crown ed on the Taylor Theatre stage Friday night by Izzy Campen. In one instance, at least, not much money was made. Colonel Bill Rosevear suggested that Jimmy Earnhardt pay the Rotary Club $25 for the plug it re ceived on account of the contest. “Why, sure I’ll give 25 bucks,” said Jimmy, “and I’m making a bargain price to the Rotarians of only $25 for use of the theatre for crowning the winner.” o Note to Nags Head fishermen: The boys are catching white perch around here by the bushel. Maybe some of ’em will want to come up for a good day’s fishing. the church and must attend Sunday School regularlj Men employes are given one evening a week for court ing. After 14 hours in the store the leisure hours should be spent for the most part in reading. That was the situation 73 years ago. In retailing, as in other enterprise, the lot of the American worker has improved to an almost unbelievable extent.

Senator Wiis Smith Sponsors Senate Bill Against Communism Calls For Program to “Sell America to Americans” U. S. Senator Willis Smith of North Carolina has .called for a program to “sell America to Americans.” Senator Smith said that every true American “is enthusiastically opposed to Communism,” but, he said, “we tend to forget that we can best combat Communism by being enthusiastic about Americanism.” Senator Smith recently introduced and guided through the Senate a bill to provide a federal charter for an or ganization known as the American Conference on Citizenship. This conference had its beginning in 1944 and Senator Smith was a charter member. At the time, he was presi dent of the American Bar Association. The first meeting was held in Phila delphia under the sponsorship of the Department of Justice. Since 1944, more than 1,000 civic, patriotic and education groups have thrown their support to the confer ence. Full-scale work is underway on a program to teach the fundamentals of democracy to the school clyldren of America, and to provide an opportu- CARD OF THANKS We are taking this method to ex press our sincere thanks and appre ciation for the many deeds of kindness and words of sympathy during the ill ness and death of our husband and father, William Stokley.
