Ye shall see him. —Mark 28:5-7. THE POWER that rolled away the stone from the tomb of Jesus is the same Power that created the world and all therein, and is guiding the destinies of those who come to Him through the Risen Christ. Merciful Father, in gratitude for the miracle, of Easter may we consecrate ourselves to the incoming of Thy Kingdom among the nations of the world. Another Hardship Chowan County farmers who grow tobacco face another hardship this year due to an in crease in hail insurance rates which were ap proved this week by Insurance Commissioner Charles F. Gold in Raleigh. Because Chowan County was among some other counties to experience heavier damage by hail last year, the rates have been boosted, along with 24 other counties. The “poor” in surance companies don’t want to take too much risk. Because Chowan County was hard hit last year does not necessarily mean that the same conditions will prevail this year, but the insurance companies want to take less risk than the farmers. We haven’t heard about any insurance com pany going broke due to payment of claims, but there’s plenty of farmers who can go broke or so near to it that there’s little fun to it if their crops are wiped out by the acts of nature. It appears to The Herald that the rate boost in Chowan is unfair. The insurance companies should be as willing to gamble on an investment as are the farmers who plant but know not what they will reap. Worthy Os Support The amazing progress in caring for the crip pled in this generation is one of the most im portant observations noted in the undercurrent of news released in conjunction with the 1956 Easter Seal campaign. More has been accomplished for the crip pled in our time than in all generations of man’s civilization. Improvement in techniques is one explana tion for the progress. Another is the work of both public and private agencies without whose efforts scientific advances would be meaning less. Not many private organizations can match the superlative contribution made by the Nat ional Society for Crippled Children and Adults and its affiliates, including the Chowan County Easter Seal Society. For more than a quarter century, these societies have been providing care for the crippled and informing the public of the crippled’s needs, spending Easter seal dollars responsibly, wisely and well. This is the time of year when residents of Chowan 'County can again contribute to the cause. The Easter Seal program is in the fin est tradition of humanity and deserves sup port. It continues through April 10. . Fight Cancer With A Checkup April, Cancer Control Month, is at hand. The volunteers of the American Cancer So ciety, like the voice of the turtle, will soon be heard in the land. This year they will chorus a catchy message: Fight cancer with a check up and a check. We hope our readers will add to this the best of refrains: check, double check, and without further ado, join the act. It’s the greatest life-saving production ever to come to town. By fighting cancer with a checkup, we can realize the Society’s goal of doubling current cancer cure rates through mass adoption of ear ly detection and prompt treatment. Last year 80,000 persons died of cancer only because treatment was begun too late. It cannot be stressed too often that most cancers are cur able if caught or better, if checked, in time. By fighting cancer with a check, we are help ing scientists to conquer cancer through re search; we are helping cancer patients with a Wide variety of comforting services at home and ip hospitals, and we are helping the ACS to spread life-saving knowledge of cancer through out the Ration. So how about a dress rehearsal ? Your cue is to strike back at the disease that strikes one in fiohr, two families in every tluee. Can you re cite the seven danger signal? of cancer? Is your checkbook, or wallet or your coin purse dose by? The ASC volunteers are taking the [ You’re qa, 1 - mm * - ] ■HEARD&SEEN UP By “Fuss” There’s a good reason to get up early on Easter morning. Three Easter sunrise services are scheduled, one on the Court House Gi.nen at 6:30 o’clock, sponsored by the Eden ton Junior Chamber of Commerce, another at the Center Hill Baptist Church at 6 o’clock, spon sored by the up-county churches, and a third 1 at the Edenton Assembly of God Church at the corner of First and Bond Streets. To at tend either of these services might'provide an opportunity for some people to see how the sun looks when it rises. Os course, taking it for granted the weather is fair. At any rate, Eas ter apparently is the one day of the year when a lot of people make their annua] visit to a church. The front pews will, no doubt, get a dusting-off, which should delight some of the preachers who very seldom see the front seats occupied. ———o Some members of the cast for the Senior ■Class play, which was presented in the Ele mentary School Thursday night, didn’t even get a program. All of the programs were dis tributed to those who attended, so that none were left. Members of the cast are, therefore, sending out an SOS in the hope that some who saw the play might still have the program. If so, please notify Miss McCollum at the Junior- Senior High School, for the actors and actresses would like to save the programs as a souvenir. o— Wilborne Harrell had some scrambled eggs Friday, but he didn’t eat ’em. He bought a dozen eggs and when in front of The Herald office the bag slipped from his hand so that every bloomin’ egg was smashed. Wilborne bought another dozen for he just had to have some eggs for breakfast. o Edenton Boy Scouts had a big time in the armory Tuesday night when they staged a bar becue supper and presented an interesting pro gram. The boys sponsored the supper in an effort to help raise enough money for every Boy Scout to attend camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Waynesboro, Va., this sum mer. They’ll be sponsoring other projects to help raise in the neighborhood of S9OO to, cover the camping expenses,;and here’s hoping everybody will BakJt up ih 'their efforts. They’re a fine bunch of boys arid the duhping trip should bfc of grdat benefit to ’em. o Rough boards just seem *tfr-be~th£_style in the business section. In an unusual accident part of the Cuthrell Department Store build ing was torn out Tuesday morning, so that now a portion of the second floor is boarded up. Boards still close up a window at the Habit Grocery and, of course, the building at the corner of Broad and King Streets, to be occu pied by Sears & Roebuck, and the telephone building on East King Street still are boarded up in front. Some boards disappeared this week, however, for new plate glass was placed in the Edenton Furniture Company store win dows which was blown out by a strong wind recently. Maybe we’ll soon get back to nor mal and when all the repairs are completed the business section Will appear more attrac tive. o L. P. Chappell of the Belvidere community was in town the other day selling country smoked hams and I was asking him if a certain other Chappell was a relative of his. “Yes,” he said, “sort of a shirt-tail relative. His great grandmother was a sister of my great grandfather.” Well, I just let it go as a shirt tail relative, for time’s too short to figure it out. o Arthur Hollowell wasn’t just acting sort of shiekish parading around without his hat for a few days. Fact of the matter, he walked out of the Red Men meeting Monday night with out the thing. Fortunately, he went back in a few days and found the hat just where he had left it. Here’s one who needs a hat, especially when it’s raining, for the bald spot on fop of the dome must be getting larger by the way the rain drops feel. o Mary Gilliam just don’t have much patience with all this trying to reduce stuff. A little on the plump side, Mary says she would like to reduce some, but that every time her stomach growls a little bit, her mouth flies open and she has to stuff something in it. o Edenfon’s business section is taking on a new look with the new poles for the fluorescent lights now in place. The new lights are said to furnish much more lights than the old ones and at the same time burn less electricity. May be Some of us should get fluorescent lights in our homes and business establishments when we look at the light bills along about the first of the month.

Praise for the varied American diet is frequently expressed in terms of “calories”— we may hear, for example, that the people of less fortunate lands have only so many calories a day in their diet compared with the high ' calorie content of the average American diet. Ip these days, when so many people are conscious of their weight, we hear about “counting calories.” We take this to mean that people who are overweight avoid rich foods.
