A Free Press
; One of the pleasures of the year
is the opportunity I have of meet
, ing with the North Carolina Press
Association. I was honored by
| the Association last January at
j Chapel Hill when I was made an
! honorary member. The press of
j North Carolina reports and com
ments upon the news and public
! affairs with courage, conviction
j and integrity, living up to the re
sponsibility of a free press to a
free nation. Ever since the in
vention of printing, the occupants
of governmental offices in all j
lands have realized the power of
the printed word to impress and
| influence the human mind. As a
! consequence, dictators in all ages
jand lands have tried to control or
I suppress newspapers. This ob-
J nervation finds apt illustration
nowadays in the countries behind
the iron curtain.
History Recalle 1
It is appropriate to recall that
i even those who ruled the English
| speaking world in early days un
dertook to deny freedom to the
press. It was necessary to be li-
I censed by the government to pub
lish a newspaper. The custom of
I granting or withholding licenses
j to operate newspapers was gradu
iallv replaced in the English- 1
I speaking world by the practice of
I prosecuting for criminal libel pub
j lishers who dared to print any-
I thing adverse to the occupants of
governmental office. And this
j strange notion was adopted and
| enforced in these prosecutions for
j criminal libel: "T!V greater the I
truth, the greater the libel.”
The “Statement of Principle”
adopted by the North Carolina
Press Association concludes in
these words: “The final test of
every story, every headline, every
editorial, every newspaper is: Is
it honest? Is it fair? Is it ac
curate?”
I am glad to note the alertness
I of the press of North Carolina to
! its high responsibility.
Librarians Attend
Training: Workshop
I Five librarians of the staff of;
seven which serve Chowan. Tyr-:
roll and Washington counties,!
which comprise the Pettigrew Re-1
; gional Library, attended the 1958
| in-service training workshop held:
in Wilson, September 30-October
;2. A workshop was held in Fay
j etteville September 23-25 and twoj
; more are being held in Thomas- j
i ville and in Lenoir this month. :
| These workshops are sponsored 1
j and planned by the North Caro
lina State Library and the Public
! Libraries Section of the North!
I Carolina Library Association.:
J They are made possible by the j
federal grant to libraries, which 1

THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER », 1958.
the State Library. Expenses of
all participants up to $25 per peri
son are being paid from federal
funds. The libraries in Tyrrell
and Washington counties were
closed and the bookmobiles,
scheduled to operate in Washing
ton County did not run so that
librarians might attend. Another
series of workshops may be held
in the spring so that those unable
to attend this time may do so
then. Enrollments are limited
to 50.
Mrs. Eugenia Babylon, director
of the Pettigrew Regional Library
served on a panel discussion in
Wilson September 30, based on
Public Library Service, a book
compiled by the American Li
brary Association which is a guide
to the evaluation of l.braries and
library systems and sets forth the:
minimum standards of library!
service with necessary steps for
attaining them. The main aspects
of service are covered in six chap
ters: Structure and govefnment;
Service; Books and Nonbook Ma
terials; Personnel; Organization
and Conti 11 of Books; and Physi
cal Facilities.
Libraries are public institutions
and belong.ta the public. All in
terested persons are invited to
read the above mentioned book
and make suggestions and offer
their services toward helping the
libraries in this region reach the
standards. Copies are available
and more copies are on order.
The chief aim of the Pettigrew
Regional Library is to supply all J
readers regardless of age or in-1
terests with books and related
materials and to induce non-read
ers to acquaint themselves with
the services offered by the li
braries and bookrrfobiles.
The two bookmobiles are serv
ing Chowan County this week and
Monday of next week. Winter
schedules will be printed as soon
as they have been verified by I
Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Alexander, |
bookmobile librarians. Since the
schools, Chowan High. White
Oak Consolidated and St. John,
are being served again, some
changes are necessary.
Agent Advises On
Phosphorus Needsi
■ (
C. W. Overman, county agent, I]
says that where you have been j 1
growing crops which have been ;
heavily fertilized the soil may :
have sufficient phosphorus for the '
succeeding crop.
Mr. Overman says that where
tobacco and Irish potatoes have 1
been grown, the soil phosphorus
level in many cases has been built ,
up to a high level! As much as
70 to a 100 pounds of fertilizer
P 205 applied per acre are applied
to these crops. The amount of j
phosphorus that is removed by a j
good crop of tobacco or Irish po
tatoes is less than 30 pounds at !
P 205 per acre, therefore, a large I
portion of the added fertilizer
phosphorus has not been used.
Overman says that the only]
way to tell how much of the re- j
maining fertilizer phosphorus is
still available for the next cr%p j
is by having a soil test made. If j
the soil tests high or very high
in phosphorus this means that
crops can get enough phosphorus
from the soil to produce high
yields without having to add any

Calif., skipper of the Raft Lehi IV, seems to be comparing

Honolulu after their voyage. •
as fertilizer.
On the other hand, the agent,
points out that if soil tests low I
or very low in phosphorus, it will 1
be necessary to add a considerable:
amount of fertilizer phosphorus in
order to get optimum yields.
Mr. Overman says that now is
the time to take the soil samples
where you want recommendations
for next year. By doing this you
can add the right amount of ni
trogen, phosphorus, and potassium
so that you will get optimum eco- 1
nomic yields.

He Waa A Bright Lad
As we entered the war, a lux
ury liner was hurrying to port.
Among the passengers were two
notorious gamblers. During £
lull in plying ‘their nefarious
trade, as they stood at the rail,
gazing out to sea, one remarked
to the other:
“Bill, what would you do if a
torpedo were to strike this ship
and we started to sink?”
Bill looked thoughtful for a
moment, then he answered: “I
think I’d say a prayer.”
Came a sarcastic laugh from
jhis companion followed by, “Bill,
I I’ll bet a dollar you don’t know
a prayer.”
Quickly came the answer;
! "You’re on. I’ll say the Lord’s
[prayer,” and he began.
“Now I lay me down to
sleep.”
His. companion threw up his
hands. “Take the money,” he
said, “I didn’t think you knew |
it.”
If thou art sound in stomach, |
side and feet, the riches of a
king will add nothing to thy
happiness. —Horace.
iiTmemoriam
In loving memory of a dear son,
Ward, who passed away 8
years ago, October 2, 1950:
A precious son has gone from me,
A voice I loved is still;
A place is vacant in my heart,
Which never can be filled.
I do not need a special day
To bring you to my mind;
The days I do not think of you
Are being hard to find.
What would I give to clasp your
hand;
Your pleasant face to see,
To hear your voice, to see your
smile—
That meant so much to me.
I often sit and think of you,
And think of how you died;
To think I could not talk to you
Before you closed your eyes.
But there’s nothing left to answer
But a picture on the wall; ;
The stars are sweetly shining
Upon a silent grave.
In it lies a precious one —
I loved but could not save —
Days of sadness still come over
me;
Secret tears do often flow;
Memory keeps you ever near me
Though you left me eight years
ago.
—MOTHER
