A LIFT FOR TODAY
★ No chastening for the present seemeth to be
joyous, but grievous . . . afterward it yieldeth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness. — Hebrews 12:11.
TRIAL is God’s glorious alchemy, by which the
dross is left in the crucible, the baser metals are
transmuted,'and the character is enriched with gold.
—Punshon.
Help us to bear life’s trials and burdens in a
Christ like spirit, Almighty God. _
Needs Study
Zoning is about to be adopted for the new
area recently added to Edenton and as the re
sult of one public hearing, some differences of
opinion have developed. The Zoning Commis
sion has made recommendations, which were
considered to some extent by 1 own Council
men Tuesdav night, but no oflicial action was
taken.
Instead, the Councilmen preferred to give
the zoning plan more thought and study to the
end that the proper decision should be ulti
mately reached.
In fact, the Councilmen wanted to devote
more consideration and study until Monday
night, when they will meet in special session
and probably tentatively adopt a zoning plan.
, Following this meeting, another public hear
ing will be held to hear any objections to the
zoning as recommended. To 'be sure, there
are quite a few people who are vitally interest
ed in zoning, so that they should make plans to
attend the hearing when it is called in order to
register any objections. After the zoning has
been adopted it will be too late to complain
and suggest various changes.
In the meantime, any member of Town
Council will be glad to hear any comment
either for or against the proposed zoning as it
fS now planned.
Worth Patronizing
For some weeks now, a group of people have
been devoting their time anti effort to develop
ing a Variety Show to be presented in the Ele
mentary School auditorium Friday night, be
ginning at 8 o’clock. The show is sponsored
annually by the Edenton Lions Club and this
year a goodly share of the talent has been en
listed outside the club membership.
On the program will be talented Edenton
people and will also include talent from the
Marines, come of which is professional. That
the show, under the direction of Lieut. Jim
Bowers, will be well worth while, is reflected
in a statement by J. R. DuLaney, general
chairman, who says it should eclipse a*y pre
vious show sponsored bv the Lions, and that
the show is the entertainment bargain of the
season.
Proceeds from the show will be used by the
Lions in their blind aid work, so that by at
tending, an evening of wholesome entertain
ment will be enjoyed and at the same time a
worthy project will be helped.
Congratulations!
Congratulations are in order for the Band
Parents Association for the success of its first
Awards Banquet which was held in the Ma
sonic Temple Tuesday night. Some 200 peo
ple gathered for the occasion, so naturally it
was reason for encouragement not only for
band members, their parents and friends, but
Miss Lula Williams, popular director of the
band, as well.
It was delightful to have C. L. McCullers of
Kinston present for the occasion, for he is more
or less the “daddy" of a band in Edenton.
many recalling the famous Edenton bands of
some 20 years ago under his direction. Both
Mr. and Mrs. McCullers were idols of Edenton
► youngsters when they lived in Edentoh, and it
f Was very enjoyable for them to greet many of
their old friends Tuesday night.
Mr. McCullers is still vitally interested in
music for children, telling his audience Tues
day night that through music, careers were
; built, good citizens made and leaders develop
0d in all phases of life.

Branning Perry believes in saving postage.
One day this week he received a notice that his
subscription to The Herald would expire June
1. He started to call and ask why we didn’t
send him a stamp with the self-addressed enve
lope so he could mail his check. But instead
he hoofed it over to The Herald office using as
much energy and shot leather as a stamp would
have cost.
o
And then Branning was telling me about a
lady who called to have her car fixed. “What
make is it?” Branning asked. “I don’t know,”
the lady replied, “but it starts with ‘B’.” He
studied a while and then said to the lady, “I
don’t know what kind of car it is, for I thought
, all cars start with gas.”
o
Like I said before, a fellow is never too old
to learn. Tuesday I parked beside Charlie
Newcomb and with a door open he was busy
getting some things out of his car. After wait
ing for a while I said. “Charlie, you’re hold
ing up the wheels of progress.” He poked out
his head and told me, “Shucks, there’s two
sides to your car, go around the other way.”
And. of course, that’s what I had to do.
o
Then Charlie was telling me about a hole in
one of the streets in Westover Heights. “Is it
dangerous?” 1 asked. “No,” said Charlie, “I
saw a hat about level with the pavement and
when I went to pick it up, a boy under the hat
veiled, ‘that’s all right. I can get out by my
self’.”
o
A pleasant visitor in The Herald office Tues
day was Chaplain G. H. Wheeler, who was sta
tioned at the Edenton base in 1944-45. It was
the first time I've seen him since then and
though he knew me, I would not have recog
nized him. Anyway, it was a pleasant conver
sation talking about the early days of,the base
and the fine fellows we met —now scattered all
over the country. Chaplain Wheeler was im
pressed with the changes made in Edenton
since he was stationed here and was delight
ed to see and talk with some of the friends he
made while in Edenton. He's scheduled to
leave Monday for the Mediterranean.

Edenton’s official family took the oath of
office at Tuesday night’s meeting of Town
Council. Except for one new member. Raleigh
Hello well, the Board is the same as has been.
Os course, there are two new members on the
Board of Public Works, Walter M. Wilkins
and Sidney Campen, succeeding Dr. J. A. Pow
ell and W. J. Yates, who were not candidates.
With Graham Byrum absent at the council ta
ble. the Board doesn’t seem exactly the same.
Graham, except for one term, has occupied a
seat ever since I became a member in 1937.
so that he will be missed by every member of
the re-elected Board. Graham has seen many
years of service in behalf of the town, much
of which has been directed to parks and play
grounds and, of course, he has had to experi
ence the many headaches in connection with
running the town’s business. If nobody else
does, here’s one who wants to pay tribute to
Mr. Byrum’s lengthy tenure of office and his
long service to the town as a Councilman. In
cidentally, Tuesday night’s meeting was open
| ed by a very appropriate prayer by Town
Clerk Ernest J. Ward, Jr. If anybody needs
divine guidance, it should be members of Town
Council, for it's a big business involving many
“stockholders,” and is fraught with many per
plexing problems which require serious thought
and consideration. What could be wrong with
1 imploring divine guidance at every meeting?

LETTERS Xo
THE EDITOR
FOR A CLEANER AND
QUIETER EDENTON
Dear Editor:
Toward a cleaner and more quiet
Edenton, I would like to bfing to
the attention of the Department of
Health and Sanitation the merits of
a product I recently had the hap
py experience of purchasing. This
is a 20-gallon trash and garbage
container, item 870 manufactured
under the name of Loma in Foit
Worth, Texas. It is made of an,
almost indestructible heavy gauge
plastic with easy lock-on top. A
flick of the wrist and the kitchen
disposal is dog and small boy
proof, tightly sealed against flies,
rodents, etc., in a slick interior that
can he readily cleaner! with a quick
rinse from the garden hose. It is
acid proof, non-absorbent and
noiseless. Incidentally, these con
tainers weigh less than one-half
(6 lbs. lOozs.) the weight of an
ordinary trash can (a little over 13
lbs.) and they come in a varietv
of bright solid colors with black
tops. Possibly garbage can he
beautiful!
My motive for focusing atten
tion in this direction is that possi
bly the people of Edenton, when
made aware of the pleasant possi- ;
bilities of painlessly disposing of i

Boyce Commended
For Saving Life
Continued From Page 1, Section 1
In the letter of commendation,
Captain Willis had this to say:
“For excellent service in the line
, of his profession while serving with
the Elizabeth City Shore Patrol a*.
Nags Head, North Carolina, on
August 13, 1956. As Shore Patrol
Medical Corpsman HMC Boyce was
informed of drowning casualties at
Avalon Beach, North Carolina.
Proceeding to the scene, he found
J. M. Boyette to be in complete
respiratory failure, his heart had
apparently ceased to beat and he
was markedly cyanotic with widely
dilated pupils and glazed eyes. He
immediately took charge of the re
suscitation efforts, employing back
pressure arm lift method of arti
ficial respiration, examining the vic
tim as he did so. Despite the com
plete absence of vital signs, ordi
narily diagnostic of death, he per
sisted patiently and skillfully in
his preserving an adequate
airway throughout and administer
ing free flow of oxygen during re- j j
suscitation for about 45 minutes i
when vital signs were definite and <
Mr. Boyette was out of danger. 1
His quick actions, persistence, skillr
ful application of professional
knowledge and devotion to duty re
flected great credit upon HMC
Boyce and were in keeping with the
highest tradition of the United
States Naval Service.”
