There were in the same country shep- i herds abiding in the field, keeping watch over | their flock by night. —Luke 2:8. WE, TOO, can be shepherds of Christ, abiding in our different fields of service, ready and willing to bring the lost into the eternal peace and se curity of Christ and his life. Almighty God. kindle Thy love in our hearts that we may hear the anqels sing and bring to all mankind the message of Thy Redeeming Love. High Honor Edenton and Chowan County as a whole has ev ery reason to be proud of the announcement made this week that Chowan Hospital has been accredit ed for a period of one year by the Joint Commis sion of Accreditation of Hospitals of Chicago. It is The Herald’s understanding that very few hospitals achieve this honor upon the first appli cation. It was Chowan Hospital’s first applica tion and following a very rigid survey the honor was subsequently announced. The acceptance means that due to the splendid work of the administrator, physicians, board of trustees and the entire hospital staff the public is assured that the hospital meets ail the high standards expected for a hospital. The accreditation is for a period of one year when another survey will be made and if this survey meets all the requirements the hospital will be accredited for a full term of three years. All who are in any way connected with ‘he hos pital are elated over the accreditation announce ment, and the public, too, should feel justly proud that the hospital has met all of the rigid qualifi cations, thus offering the facilities of a hospital of outstanding quality in all phases of hospital opera tion. The Herald, therefore, congratulates all who have had any part in meeting the qualifications for accreditation and advances the Opinion that when the next survey is made the accreditation will not be only for a year's probation but for a full term of three years. Job Well Done Like a lineman on a football team, some mem bers of a municipality also go unsung when they have done an outstanding job. The reference is to members of the Edenton Street Department when have worked like Trojans in removing snow as the result of last week’s snow storm. Because snows of such proportion very seldom occur in Edenton. no provision is made to have the necessary equipment for combatting the prob lem when it occurs. So. with what was at hand Street Department employees battled the elements and did a remarkable job in removing the snow from the business section by midnight Friday. They also opened up streets so that it was possi ble to drive cars although conditions were hazard ous. Os course, there were some complaints and criti cisms. but under the circumstances. The Herald is convinced the boys did as much as was humanly possible and they are to be commended for a job well done. Classified Advertisement BAD BREATH LOSES FRIENDS!

In fact we’ve had the heaviest snow since 1948 which many of us remember. At pres ent with the amount of snow on the ground and the weather as col 4 as it is, we’U no doubt have a white Christmas. But here’s one who, along with many others, is humming “I’m Dreaming of a ’Green’ Christmas". Traveling in town Thurs day and Friday was sumpin’ with cars traveling about as far sideways as they did forward. Many cars stood still with wheels spinning and but for some good-hearted people in giving shoves, some new* tires mould be on the program. Haywood Jones and Bubber Roberts were kept busy on low er Broad Street for a long time going from one car to another to get ’em started. With the snow flying, the wind blowing and the mercury below the freezing mark on Thursday, most of the stores j in Edenton dosed up shop for the day. and they might as well done the same thing Friday, for j very few people were stirring around. Frank Jones i just about hit the nail on the head when he told 1 me, “I closed my store about noon Thursday, but I don’t figure I lost anything.” Well, not unless he sold tire chains, boots, shovels and such things which go to combat a snow storm. Anyway, it was the biggest snow we’ve had since 1948 and here’s hoping it will be at least 1968 until we have anoth er one as big. o In rooting around their lodge room, some Red | Men the other night found two old flint-lock guns. I V\ niie the boys were examining the old relics Thomas Jackson said, “Well I believe I’d just as soon be in front of the gun as behind it when it is fired.” Well the things look like they might have a wicked kick. o In talking about the Marines leaving Edenton, a fellow was telling one of our merchants that it’s 1 only a matter of adjusting himself to the way things were before the Marines were sent to Eden ! ton. “I know that,” said the merchant, “but it’s | hard as the devil to get used to it.” o Now I’ve learned why John Mitchener fell out j of his chair at last week’s Town Council meeting. It all happened when Town Clerk Ernest J. Ward, Jr., handed John the check and said, “Here, en dorse this check and hand it over to your wife.” o There are surely some good-natured wives. Dur -1 mg the snow storm last week a husband of not so j many weeks was obliged to work and came home about midnight. His wife was in bed, but he asked her to get up and cook him some hot bis cuits. which she did. But, brother, wait a few | years and under the same conditions you’ll likely hear. “Get that hunk of bread if you want any | thing to eat. I'm sleepy.” o The world is full of surprises, one of which X j received the other day. A brief letter from the Associated Press in Charlotte had this to say: “Dear Mr. Bufflap—Attached is our check for $lO, your bonus for reporting the first complete county in the November 4 general election. Congratulations on your fast work.” Then as I started to write this ; column Wednesday morning, a telephone call from , the Albemarle Restaurant said. “You have been selected for a free dinner at our restaurant today.” j Both of these came as surprises and while I can 1 understand the first, I can't figure out what I’ve | done to win a free dinner. At any rate with one banquet after another I’m stumped down sure I'll not order a turkey dinner. Which reminds me that last Sundav I heard somebody say the majority of people in Edenton were eating fried chicken. The reason? Well local grocery stores were selling fry ers for 25 cents per pound. That’s about as cheap : or cheaper than an old-fashioned soup bone. o I Tom Ridgeway, superintendent of Chowan Hos- I rital. says a shower of gifts will be given to the f 'st babv to arrive at the hospital after the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. Friend Tom also ; sav-, several storks will be in the contest, but he I might have added that it’s too late now to get in ' l'ne for the eamble with time. FOR SALE FOUR BURNER.
