THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1957 A LIFT FOR TODAY Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.— Mark 8:34. Calvary’s cross is the central symbol of Christi anity, disclosing the reality that lives at the heart of the universe. God of all mankind, grant us strength of pur pose and courage of spirit to take up our cross daily and truly follow him. Poppy Day Saturday, May 25, is Poppy Day, a red letter day for the American Legion Auxiliary, because the true significance of the poppy program will pene trate into the heart of many Americans. The poppy program is based on a desire to keep forever bright the memory of those who. gave their lives for America, and to aid those who live in suffering because they serve their country. To shed light where there is darkness, to make joy where there is sorrow, to give hope where there is despair are the purposes of the poppy. Are you as citizens of your community conscious that when asked to “wear a poppy” you are being given the privilege of sharing in this great pro gram? Are you aware that the poppy is offered for you to wear as a personal memorial to our na tion’s fallen defenders? And do you know that by wearing a poppy you are aiding disabled veterans and needy children of veterans? Wearing the poppy tells the world that we re member and are grateful to those who made it pos sible for you and me to live in a country like America, where God is known and worshipped; where every man may use his God-given talents to make a better life for himself and his associ ates; where family life is sacred and where every child has a right to education and religious train ing. All this has been secured for us at the cost of sacrifice and suffering. Many are still paying the price. Pause and reflect on these words which were uttered during the Korean War: ' “Dear God, as I g 6 my carefree way, Help me to remember Somewhere out there, a man died for me today. < And as long as there be wars 4 y I must ask myself, and I must answer Am I worth dying for?” _ , r -■ - - Better Day Ahead From a youth standpoint, it is encouraging to note that ere long a building will be erected for the Girl Scouts in Edenton. Just last week the school trustees allocated a plat of ground on Hicks Field for a Girl Scout home which it is hoped will be completed for use by fall. Girl Scout activities have been up and down in Edenton, but under the guidance of Mrs. William Case stock in the Girl Scouts has taken a decided boost in recent months. There are now 80 girls enrolled in four troops and with a new building of their own it should be a safe guess that more in terest will be created and that the Girl Scouts will come up to par with the Boy Scouts. Mrs. Case and Mrs. Molly Hester Holmes are to be congratulated for appealing to the school trus tees for the land and the school trustees for rea lizing the wisdom in providing facilities for our girls. Nature is a great teacher, if you care to take lessons. Notice of A Public Hearing Relative To A Proposed Zoning Ordinance for the Newly Annexed Territory of the Town of Edenton... Notice is hereby given, in accordance with the require ments of Section 160-175 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, that the Town Council of the Town of Edenton will hold a public hearing on a proposed zoning ordinance for the newly annexed territory of the Town of Edenton at 8 P. M., on Friday, June 7,1957 at the Mu nicipal Building. All interested persons are invited to attend. TOWN OF EDENTON Ernest P. Kehayes, Mayor ; Ernest J. Ward, Jr.*Qeffc' , / ... - ■J'learJ & .Seen | Byßuff I ."-ST 1 . 1 I ABII. ZJ Quite a few people took advantage and thor oughly enjoyed the Armed Forces Day program held at the Edenton Naval Auxiliary Air Station Saturday. The arrested landings demonstration was very interesting, as was the helicopter’s ma nipulations. The aircraft crash and rescue dem onstration was also very thrilling, not to mention the group of jet planes which whizzed by at some thing over 600 miles per hour. It was a case of “here they come and there they go.” Ralph Out law had somewhat of an advantage, for he had a pair of strong field glasses which pulled objects at quite a distance so that they appeared within reaching distance. He allowed me to look through ’em to see if I could see a house at the end of one of the runways. I wasn’t used to the things and in trying to find the house’a couple of ladies in bathing suits were in the way. I reached out my hand to pat one of ’em, but the doggone field glasses tricked nfe. It might be a good thing, too, for had I reached her, there might have been an other kind of a demonstration not on the program. o And speaking about ladies ’ bathing suits, I watched a television program the other night which displayed the newest models for this year. The best I could learn was that the less there is of a bathing suit, the more it costs. o Edenton Lions staged another very good show Friday night in the Elementary School auditorium. The show represented a lot of work on the part of a number of people, who should feel somewhat rewarded for the success of the affair. It would be hard to pick out any individual star performer, but here’s one who took a special liking to little Jackie Ough for her “Hokey Pokey” number. The whole show was very good, so here’s a hand for all who participated and those who arranged the show. o Bill Rosevear brought a musical football to the Rotary meeting Thursday which caused a lot of fun. One Rotarian asked if it was awarded Bill during his college dqys. “No,” replied another Ro tarian, “Bill never played football in college. In fact he gives out playing a game of golf and even plying tiddly winks wears him down right much.” o And speaking about Rotary, the father of Jim my Ricks is now a member of the Edenton club and his name is also Jimmy. Members are puzzled how to designate ’em unless they call one “Big Jim” and the other “Little Jim.” o Apparently local fishing grounds are somewhat deserted these days. Reports are to the effect that blue fish are biting like the dickens down Oregon Inlet way, so that quite a few in this neck of the woods have tried their luck—and caught ’em, too. Well, if the fish don’t bite around here, the next best thing js to go where they will bite. o Just about the happiest group of people these days are school children. School will close Thurs day of next week, and I heard one youngster say that this week seems about as long as a month. / — ; o Lieut. William Atherton is gradually rounding a baseball team into shape for the Albemarle League season. Here’s hoping the baseball bug will bite local fans, so that good crowds will be on hand for the games. Edenton’s first home game will be Tuesday night, June 14, with Williamston. o John Fletcher and I met in the bank Wednesday and were speaking about college graduates. “The trouble is,” I said, “a lot of them will want to s(art at the top and not be willing to start at the bot tom and work up.” John gave a good answer, saying, “You’re right, only a house painter can start at the top and come down.” o A movement is now on foot to decide if mer chants in Edenton want to close their stores at 7 o’clock Saturday nights. If interested, call Jesse L. Harrell, for he wants to know the pulse of those who will be affected, and if enough are favorable the idea might be tried. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MAY 33, 1957. Elizabeth City’s Beauty Contest June 12,13,14 Warren Hewitt,Chairman of the “Miss Elizabeth City” beauty pageant to be staged in the S. L. Sheep School auditorium June 12, 13 and 14, says co-chairmen of entries and registration are ready to accept applications or suggest ions of girls who may be issued invitations to become an entrant. It is suggested that every resident in the area who knows a person able, beauteous and talented young lady to present her name to the committee as a possible en try in the contest. He called attention to the fact that girls considering the advan tages offered to winners of pre liminary Miss America contest might recall that Miss New Jer sey 1957, Sally Sue Hartman, cap tured her state title and a SI,OOO scholarship by giving a three minute talk oh the sacred duty of Americans to vote. This means that a contestant does not have to be musical in order to win the contest. There are many phases of talent which may be displayed to give a girl a chance at the many awards which go with the crown, Twiford and Jennette said. To be eligible for the Miss Eliz abeth City pageant a contestant must be between the ages of 18 and 28 on September 1. She must be a high school graduate by September 1; must never have been married. She must possess talent, either trained or potential which may include playing a musical instru ment, dramatics, dress designing, singing, or any of the fine arts. If she wishes to pursue a profes sional career, such as nursing, she may present a three-minute talk on her reasons for selecting such a career or on her training to date her aims in that profession. CHOWAN CLUB MEETS The Chowan Home Demonstra tion Club met in May at Chowan Community Building with 12 members and one visitor and one new member, Mrs. J. H. Asbell, present. The group was led in nsinging “The Church in the Wild wood.” Mrs. Roland Evans held the devotional in reporting on a book “Your Prayers Are Always Answered.” Mrs. H. D. Dale gave a report on family life concerning and applying the club collect in dailv lives. The Ruritan supper for May 27 was planned and members were asked to be out at the clubhouse! by 4 o’clock on that day. Mrs. El- ■ liott gave a report on straw berries. A most interesting dem onstration was given on “Well Dressed At a Low Cost.” Mrs. Mcßride was hostess, serv- 1 ing slipper-shaped ice cream,] cookies and soft drinks. —.— . d e s i g n e d T o b e d e l i c i o u s For Those Who Want The Best COUNTRY HAMS Fresh, Corned and Smoked COUNTRY SAUSAGE Links and Tray (MADE TWICE A WEEK.

Dr. John Christian Demonstrates Beef Cuts Without Bone With some additional trouble on the meat cutters part, a beef can be cut out with most cuts boneless, according to County Agent Charlie Overman. This was demonstrated by Meat Spe cialist Dr. John Christian, at the Colonial Freezer Locker Plant last week. Dr. Christian assisted the local plant employees in cutting out several halves of beef as a dem onstration. Except for T-bone steaks, generally, the meat cuts were left boneless. Many people do not particularly care for stew beef. The specialist cut out the sides, removed the and con verted them into rolled roast. During the demonstration sev eral people who were patronizing the Locker Plant and having beef cut out at that time were pres ent. Dr. Christian pointed oyt the various cyts <*f beef and they could best be prepared an,d used. Several asked questions and obtained considerable infor mation. cariTof~thanks I am taking this means to ex press my sincere thanks and ap preciation for the many expres sions of sympathy and deeds of kindness in connection with the death of my father, M. C. West. I am especially grateful for the many cards and flowers and these tokens of love will always be cherished. MRS. RAYMOND , MANSFIELD c firemen Called To Five Fires In April Fire Chief W. J.
