THE LONGER we read the Bible, the more we shall like it for its teachings grow sweeter and sweet er; the more we get into the spirit of the 1 Book of Books the more shall we get into the spirit of our Saving r. We th.irk Thee, O God, for Thr ageless Message to us revealed in Thy Holy Word. May It be come a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. New Registration In Order From nil indications. Town Council will order a new registration in Edenton ‘ whfch will affect ’the town election to he held in May of thift year. .Th* idea was presented and discussed at night's meeting and, after Town Cleric Ertieet J. frard. jk, I lias secured all information and legal procedure, it is altogether likely that the new registration will be ordered. Because the registration books were ip, deplorable condition, four or five years ago, it decided*, to transfer names from the old hooks to new books, but even m> to the last election in 1963, no little confus ion developed when names were found on the books of voters who had long sinoe died and of othersr.who have moved away from Edenton and have hot lived or voted in Edenton for years. It was also found that voters were registered it) one ward but were liv ing in another ward, thus depriving them of casting a ballot. ’ V If the new registration is ordered. It Will be neces sary for every voter in Edenton to register 1 in the ward in which lie or she resides in order to cast g bal lot in the election. At least four Saturdays;beffth* the election will he designated as registration days, when every person desirinigto vote ela tion? will be required to rugistef artd only those panics on tlie books on reelectiort day Will be permit- Hrd to cast a ballot. At present tlie registration books are in bad shape.' so that a now registration should be called in order to put. the books up-to-date and thus eliminate.mosf of the confusion and misunderstanding on election days. ( ■ r. • ' Do Not Procrastinate January 31 will l>e a day that procrastinators might regret for two important reasons. First, it will i>e the last day automobile owners will be al lowed to drive their vehicles without the 19f>5 license tags. Secondly, it will he. the final day to list prop erty for tax purposes without paying a penalty. On February 1 drivers of automobiles still dis playing 195 4' license plates will be stopped, and those who fail to list their property by February 1 Will be obliged to pay a 10G penalty on their property val uation. To neglect to do either on time will be both em barrassing and result in further outlay of money, so it is hoped every reader of this article wilt attend to both matters promptly. Both of these duties are required by law, so that they must he done if liked or not. The sooner, there fore. that 1955 license plates, are purchased and prop erty listed for taxes, the better it will be for all concerned.

J.. _ . _ - - - - t [Heard & Seen] By “Buff" * Edenton's Rotary Club Is getting a number of titled members lately, for up to last week’s meeting it included at least three colonels —Colonel Bill Rose year, Col. Izzy Campen and Col. Monty Payton. It is the second appendage to the handle of Col. Rose vear, for he just recently received a membership card as Colonel of the Confederate Air Corps. The card states that Col. Rosevear attained this distinguished tank by virtue of his unusually high regard for black eyed peas, turnip greens, hjig jowl, sowbelly, pot likker, grits, chitterlins nnd corn squeezing. As an officer of the Corps he will praise the glories of the Deep South, pay homage to our lovely Southern Belles. saVe his Confederate money, harass the enr pet-baggers and always remember that damynnkees is one word. His membership raid is signed by Thadeus P. Throckmorton, secretary of the Confed erate Air Corps. Then Izzy Campen just recently received a membership card as a colonel of the Nat ional Auctioneers’ Association. Os course, Col. Pay ton is the C.O. at the Edenton Marine Corps Auxili ary Landing Field. Though referred to as “the old man.” he isn’t so old for only last week he kicked off his diapers as the youngest Rotarian of the Kden ten Club. Robert Powell and Elwood Nixon arc now woaring the diapers. o Some members of Chowannke Council. Degree of Pocahontas, are already discussing the Council's an nual Easter dance. When the affair was mentioned the other night, one of ’em asked, '“Gosh, when is the dance? 11l have to lose enough weight so that I can wear last year’s dress.” Better hurry, Sis ter, Easter this year is April 10. Some kids can ask the damdest questions. For in stance, the other day one of the boys at my house asltod, “Mr. Bufflap, what’s the difference between a Democrat and a Republican? “Well, just what is the difference, except if one is a Democrat, a Re publican js a so-ahd-so, and if a Republican than a Democrat is a so-and-so ? Then the youngster want ed to know’ how he could know if he was a Democrat or Republican. About the only way I could get out of the'“deep water" was to say, “It’s time for you to get to bed.’’ o The Sunny South early this week had not only the “feel” of a New England winter, but the appear ance as well. For those who like snow, it was a beautiful sight Tuesday when the flakes were drop ping profusely and stuck to about everything with Which they came in contact. It looked like we were in for a good-sized snow, but by Wednesday morning Mdst of it had disappeared—much to the disappoint ment • i*f some and very welcome to othdrs. One Colored woman in front of The Herald office said, “1 likes it only I don’t want it to get too deep.” Well it didn’t. Bill Everett' is one who isn’t complaining about the cold snap we are having. Said Bill Wednesday morning, “You remember how I complained last stun mer when it was so hot? Well, I’m not saying any thing now that we have cold weather.” Well, it does very little good to complain when the weather is hot or cold. o I still sympathize with Elton Forehand, sergeant* at-arms of the Rotary Club. He has a hard time at meetings collecting a dime for Rotarians being late and when they address members illegally. Twice last week he extracted a dime from Gerald James when one Rotarian piped up. “Gerald, call him what he is, and hell not collect a dime.” —- . Right much favorable comment (aside from the first day of preparation) has been heard about the Edenton streets being resurfaced. .1. Clarence Leary said Tuesday night that when he drove down Broad Street and got to Queen Street he thought his motor had knocked off. Well, a fellow can tell the dif ference, only he cannot go exactly where he wants to go while the is ticing done. Anyway, some of this work wasn’t done any too soon, for some streets were in very bad shape. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1965.

Coundlmen Favor * New Registration (Continued from Page One) figures just about half of the vari ous appropriations have been spent, so that the budget should work out satisfactorily as made up. The Councilmen discussed the . two traffic lights at Broad and ■ Church Streets and Broad and Queen Streets, which have been out i of operation for some time. It was reported that new parts were se cured, but that something else is wrong with the lights. The Coun cilmen' will request the Electric <5- Water Department to take over traffic lights instead of the Police Department. Producing Easter Lilies Progressing Mr. and .Mrs. Gordon Bovce of Ryland community are trying Eas ter lilies apd chrysanthemums in their green house this year. Last year they were reasonably success ful producing Easter lilies. Dur ing the summer Mr. Boyce con structed another section to their fgreen house so that he can operate with two different departments for ibis;Easter lilies. This is very im j portant so that the slower .develop* j ing plants may he given a higher (temperature to make them all ma ture at the same time. I The chrysanthemums are off to a good start and are looking very pretty. The Easter lily bulbs were planted last week. In order to have lilies bloom just right for Easter, it is necessary to plant them 110 days before Easter and use extreme care in maintaining proper temper ature and correct moisture.

Civil Defense Topic At Woman’s Club Meet • (Continued from Page One) worse condition. To cope with this, she urged first aid training, home nursing training, training for emer gency feeding, a central point of , control and other essential services. “If the people in a community , are not prepared in advance to take care of such a situation then,” she , said, “that situation will handle , the community. It is important for everyone in every community, fami ■ !y by family, neighborhood by , neighborhood, town by town and ■ county by county to prepare now’, After the first bomb is dropped, or the first missile is launched it will bo too late. “Civil Defense in North Carolina is making a lot of progress,” the speaker reported, “but it is still too slow. People simply will not face the fact that the advances in - thermonuclear weapons make it . necessary for us to have a new di t mension in our thinking.” During the business session, “ which was presided over by Mrs. i Richard Goodwin, retiring prasi i dent, the following officers were f elected for the new year: Mrs. W. ' J. P. Earnhardt, president; Mrs. A. ’ F. Downum. rice president: Mrs. 5 T. R.
