Ye are no more strangers and foreigners, hut fellow citizens with the saints, and of the house hold of God. —Ephesians 2:19. AS PART OF the body of Christ, we belong in God’s own household where races and color are for gotten in the larger unity of Christian brotherhood. Eternal God, hasten the day when all shall love Thee and one another in deed and in, truth. Quite In Order It is of special interest to note that daily newspapers Wednesday morning carried stor ies to the effect that the Wildlife Resources Commission rescinded its regulation against seining minnows from public waters for the purpose of sale to sports fishermen, which was scheduled to go into effect this month. Tht action was rescinded following a great deal ci objection which is as it should be. In tact, it shewed poor judgment in the first place to consider taking such action which would have practically prevented all local fishermen from enjoying their favorite sport to the sole advantage of the comparatively few minnow hatcheries. Representatives of these hatcheries claim they can make shipment anywhere in the state within 24 hours, which is ridiculous for fishermen in this section of the state. Besides, the species of fish caught for bait purposes is in no wav detrimental to game fish by taking them from the water, so that the only purpose the proposed regulation would have served would have been to the distinct advan tage of minnow hatcheries. According to the news stories, the regulation will be held in obeyance until it can be shown that the demand for minnows can be supplied , from private sources. The Commission would have acted more wisely by scrapping the regu lation altogether instead of entertaining at all any regulation which would benefit a few at the expense of the convenience and pleasure on the part of a small army of sports fishermen who must depend upon a nearby source of min nows at short notice when the opportunity pre sents itself to go fishing. Beware Os Extremes All publications receive letters from readers with axes to grind who feel that the editor should help with the grinding. That is true of Dr. W. W. Bauer, editor of Today's Health, a magazine of wide general circulation published by the American Medical Association. People write in demanding all-out crusades against al leged evils running the gamut from alcohol to candy. In a recent issue Dr. Bauer spoke of this, and said: “We are learning with painful slow ness that health . . . cannot be bought with money alone. It requires the exertion to ac quire knowledge, and motivation to do the right things in the appropriate manner . . . Health does not depend upon diet, exercise, rest, recreation or upon any other single fac tor. All of these factors are operative in a balanced whole . . . Many people are overzeal ous in the cause of better health. They tend toward faddism, extremism and emphasis on minor factors, losing sight of the balance and proportion of the whole . . . All these conflict ing interests and pressures must be reconciled in the effort to carry out a balanced, sane, pro gressive and at the same time conservative, pro gram in health education.” The pursuit of good health requires the ap plication of old-fashioned horse sense. That means moderation in all things, and an intelli gent avoidance of extremes —along with peri odic medical checkups to be on the safe side. Economic Illiterates The odds are overwhelming “that you are an economic illiterate.” So writes Sylvia Por ter, the well-known financial columnist. The reason for her indictment is this: “You’re among the less than 5 per cent of all high school graduates in our land if you had even one se mester course in economics.” Miss Porter recommends that economies be a required course in every high school and in the first two years of college. We live in a so ciety which is dominated by economic consid erations. As workers and consumers we make ecdUaitic decisions every day of our lives. The faiNti--of the schools in this respect must be .Heart! S)*een By Buff » , ,—-,".,1, i ' Edenton’s firemen are now equipped with a signal system whereby they can tell just about where a fire is in progress. Certain blasts des ignate the ward and street, so that they now can rush to the scene instead of taking a “joy ride” around town to find out where they are supposed to go. The alarm system is a fine thing, but it was a nuisance for the County Commissioners who were in session Monday morning when the new system was being tested. Like Maurice Bunch said, it reminded a fel low of a person in a crowded room who blew his nose while having a bad cold. o Charlie Overman isn’t one who denies that he cannot keep awake during church services. .4 lot of others also take an occasional snooze while the preacher is talking but are rather re luctant to admit it. Anyway sometime back a visiting preacher was at the Baptist Church and before the service Charlie asked him if he had a “soothing” sermon. The preacher re plied, “Yes, I have, but it will not he long enough for you to get your snooze out.” ,— o t- And speaking about Charlie sleeping, he managed to keep awake all during the Rotary meeting last Thursday when the Rev. George Holmes was the principal speaker. Os course, just before Mr. Holmes spoke Charlie was giv en a prize by Bill Rosevear for wearing the most colorful necktie received as a Christmas present. Charlie’s tie was so loud he just couldn’t go to sleep. The prize—well, Charlie can save it and give it to one of his grandchil dren as a Christmas toy. o—■ Speaking about Rotary, last Thursday was the first meeting in January and always on the first meeting of the month Bill Holmes does a little decorating by placing blank checks at each plate. During a conversation after the Rev. George Hobnes’ address, somebody said “it pays to promote community activities.” But looking at quite a few unsigned checks on the table Bill remarked “Just pay on the checks.” o Time passes very rapidly and there are two things which MUST be done—list property for taxation and purchase state and town automo bile license plates for 1957. Unless property is listed during January a penalty will be added and nearer the end of January the longer the waiting line becomes at the tax supervisor's of fice on the second floor of the Court House. Unless you have plenty of time on your bands, it will be well to attend to this matter MOW. Os course, the 1956 automobile plates must not be replaced before February 15, but as the deadline nears the waiting line will Irecome longer. This is another thing which can save time by not putting it off. o Near the end of last summer many oak trees in Edenton were victims of some kind of blight, making the trees look very sickly. According to information now is about the time to treat these trees, so that this work will be done with in the next few days by the Street Department. And while spraying the town trees this same work will be done on trees on private property if a request is made. The only cost will be a small amount for the material used, so that if anybody desires trees to be treated they should contact J. Edwin Bufflap, Frank Hughes, May or Ernest Kehayes or Town Clerk Ernest J. Ward, Jr. This work will be done at one time, sc that reqttests for treating private trees should be made at once. Requests made after the spraying is done will have to be rejected due to the nature of the work involved. o Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and other Edenton activities will lose most of the valuable ser vices of Lieut. Dick Frohnen who has seen fit to resign as the Cub Scoutmaster. Friend Frohnen is now provost marshal at the Edenton Naval Auxiliary Air Station and. this job de mands so much of his time that he has very little left for outside activities. Eveti if he can not take an active part in many of Edenton’s activities, the town is very fortunate m bene fitting by his services since he has been in Edenton. Though he cannot be as active ae he has been in the past, Dick is still interested es pecially hp young people and Ws uplifting influ ence will long be remembered . While less ac tive, here’s betting a stogie be’H do whatever he can in the limited time he has. - ■ -O Julius Leary, who lives at Forest Hills, New York, the ether day seat in his subscription ant] bad this to say: “Reading The Chowan Herald and keeping abreast of the events and happenings la my home town aB of the year! I have been away has been a real source of pleasure and enjoyment to me. I think you have always published a moat interesting pa per and 1 know you wfll continue to keep up the good work.” Wfeff, it’s not an easy job get- THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1957. [ting out a small weekly news paper, but when we get such I sort of letters it encourages us j to keep pegging away. o Jess Wilson dropped in the office early this week and was passing out' a long brand of cig ar. “Nope, it’s not what you think,” he said. But he in formed me that while on a trip as far south as Miami a rela tive of his gave him a box of Havana cigars. Well, it smok ed just as good or even better than some “baby” cigars. The latter remark does not apply to DeWitt Cooper, who sent me ? carton of cigars from Indiana last week upon becoming a granddaddy. It was my fav orite brand, t’anks! AT HILLION DOLLAR'MARK~ Nationwide Life Insurance Com pany has announced that it has reached the billion-dollar-mark in insurance in force. Murray D. Lincoln, president, said the billion-dollar figure was passed on December 27. The new “in force” total represents a net gain of more than $150,000,000 in the past year.
