A LIFT FOR TODAY I will give unto thee the .keys . . . Matt. 16:19. The ministry of teaching is the golden key that unlocks the mysteries of the redeeming Gospel and the door to fellowship in worship and service without which ignorance and pre judice would stand as road blocks in the way of Christian missions. O God, promote in us a holv ministry of teaching, tha heart to do it and the knowledge to do it according to Thy Will. j U n_ r u- L - —"— ws/ > /s/>AA Edenton Can Benefit Governor Luther Hodges has issued a procla mation calling on North Carolinians to observe Home Improvement Month during September. This event is endorsed by the Federal Hous ing Administration. It is aimed at encouraging home owners to secure better housing through remodeling, repairing and modernizing their homes. Governor Hodges goes on to state: “We in North Carolina have come to realize the im portance of maintaining clean, wholesome-look ing, well-kept communities. We know that this is an essential factor in attracting new indus tries and encouraging business activity at the local level. We know also that the elimination of sub-standard housing and the maintenance of attractive residential areas are necessary to the creation of a desirable community atmosphere. In designating the month of September as Home Improvement Month in North Carolina, the Governor has urged that all citizens take advantage of this opportunity to improve their standard of living. In North Carolina there are approximately 200 lending institutions, including branches, quali fied to make FHA property improvement loans that are insured by the United States Govern ment. The FHA and the Governor of North Carolina urge those needing home improvements to apply to any of these qualified lending in stitutions for complete information. There is room for hpme improvements and raising the standard of living in some sections of Edenton. Welcome To Edenton One of the problems ol the Edenton School Trustees was solved late last week when it was announced that Hiram J. Mayo of Tarboro had accepted the posititon of principal of the Eden ton Junior-Senior High School, succeeding Ger ald D. James, who recently resigned. Mr. Mayo comes to Edenton with a background which should make him a first class school man, so that Edenton school officials feel fortunate in securing him to fill th6 vacancy. He has had a considerable amount of experience in teaching and administration, so. that he should be a de cided asset to the school's faculty. Mr. Mayo is and has been connected with many educational groups and has also been active in religious and civic affairs. The family plans to move to Edenton about August 17, when Mr. Mavo will begin his school duties. The Herald welcomes to Edenton Mr. Mayo and his family snd feels sure he will find here a hospitable people and a congenial group of teachers to work with. Money is seldom appreciated until there is none around. The good neighbor policy should be practiced by more people, as well as countries. It’s a Low-Cost Installment Finonting Servite!

McClean from Ashe ville, will preside over the next term of Chowan Superior Court, scheduled to begin Monday morn ing, September 14. The judge, no doubt, is an early riser, for he says the first day of court will open at 9:30 o’clock and on the following days at 9. o’clock. Those drawn for jury duty should take notice that they will be required to be on hand at the Court House at 9:30 the first day of court. 'Sounds like the judge means busi ness. o The Rev. Fred Drane has been enjoying himself sailing around in Edenton Bay. Mr. Drane built the sail boat and it is the first of such boats built in Edenton in many a day. Geddes Potter accompanied Mr. Drajne on the maiden trip late last week and says the boat is a first class one and that Mr. Drane is a good skipper. Anyway, there are few sail boats in this neck of the woods, so that the Drane boat attracted a lot of attention. o Thanks to Asa Griffin, the Red Men enjoyed a watermelon cutting Monday night. The boys ate their fill and had some watermelons left. George Davis of Greenville, Great Sachem of North Carolina, was a guest of the tribe and he, too, was filled up with watermelon before head ing homeward. One thing I found out is that Gus Bunch is not as fond of watermelon as he is of oysters and hot dogs. o Chowan County Commissioners wound up their business Monday before noon. The extra hour by meeting at 9 o’clock instead of 10 o’clock help ed out in allowing time for the Commissioners to get home in time for dinner. o And speaking about the Commissioners, they are again het up a bit about the dog situation in the county. Monday morning they asked Mrs. M. L. Bunch to check on how many dogs are listed on the tax books. Mrs. Bunch reported that there are exactly 936 dogs listed on the tax books for the current year. Well, anybody knows there’s a lot more than 936 dogs running around in the county and some of ’em do a lot of dam age, especially on- farms. Then, too, with a lot of “unowned” dogs running at large there is a grave danger of some going mad and doing even more damage. Messing with dogs is a ticklish problem, for some men would rather a man mess with his wife than his dog. Anyway, the Com missioners are seeking information from other counties and will, no doubt, be in a receptive, mood to do something to reduce the dog popula tion unless they are listed for taxes. . o Quite a few of the churches are having re vivals about this time of year. The only trouble is that mosquitoes in many cases are also ap parently in need of religion for they, too, flock to the revival meetings. They also take part in the service by “pinging” a solo as they fly around the ears. o- My name is not the only one which gets butch ered up. Just the other day William T. Elliott received a letter from a representative of the King Bros. Circus. The letter was addressed: “W. T. Elliott, care Jumbo Jibly Peanut Plant.” o Somebody brought in a yellow key which was found on Broad Street Monday. Finder can se cure it by seeing Wilborne Harrell at The Her ald office. It isn’t worth a cent to Wilborne but might be worth a lut to the owner who lost it. o Members of one of the Sunday School classes at the Methodist Church on Sunday morning ad vanced the idea of a project for the class. Mrs. Roy Hassell, president of the class, said, “That’s a very fine idea, but how stands our treasury?” Mrs. Harry Lassiter, the treasurer, promptly an swered the question by saying, “Well, the money box doesn’t rattle when it is shaken.” Well, a lot of money boxes are in the same shape, no doubt. o And speaking about Methodists, I heard that Deere Credit Plan are both simple and confidential. We will welcome the op portunity of discussing your individual re quirements to help you in the purchase of the farm equipment you need. Come in and see us the next time you're in town. raz CXPWCAN JSQRSTt CBfljMa&g TKuSSDAT' AUGUST «. 1955.

Well, friend, read the jury list for the next term of court and count the Methodists. Nope, brother, you’re wrong, de nominations mean nothing to me so far as news is concerned. -i The huge pile of old piles at the foot of Broad Street is grad ually becoming smaller. The piles are being sawed in about 12-foot lengths and being hauled away by a lumber concern.

DOUTHAT Mitnt Vtee President, Government Bnlntione DlvMon of the National Aanoeintlon of Manufnetnrere ’TfO COMMENT" Is a repprt ol incidents on Hie national seen* *nd does not necessarily reflect NAM policy or position. Washington, D. C.— The battle over labor reform legislation is entering the showdown stage in Congress, with the outcome in doubt. Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans are seeking valiantly to obtain House adoption of strengthening amendments to the ineffective bill reported by the House Tabor Committee. They are giving substantial support—in the part at least—to a new bi-partisan substitute bill Landrum (D-Ga.) and Griffin congressional group and through out industry, that- even stronger legislation is required to combat the dVils of unionism exposed by the Senate rackets committee. Vigorous efforts to obtain as strong a bill as possible, from the House are planned while that branch of Congress- considers la bor legislation. Whatever measure is approv ed by the House will be sent to a House-Senate Conference Com mittee to adjust differences be tween the House bill and the weak bill approved by the Sen ate last April. * Since these differences will be compromised in the Conference Committee, backers of effective legislation contend it is impera tive that a strong bill be ap proved ,by the House. Other wise, the final product is certain to fall far short of what is des perately needed to curb the mo nopciy power of union bosses. The Landrum-Griffin measure, among other things, would stiff en curbs against organizational picketing and secondary boycotts, and* authorize states to handle labor disputes local in character and over which the National La bor Relations Board declines jur isdiction. Special attention to these three problems has been urged | § FINAL '' , I %>orT£ w E as : PANTS PREFERRED 1 Yes, pants in the lengths, fabrics, colors , you prefer, at saving’s.

Mil ilffl tion—and Rep. Griffin- said would “hope and expect” that the Administration would sup •port his measure. But sentiment was sharply di vided. House members seemed to be lined up in the following groups: - - -> 1. Those who want no labor legislation enacted. 2. Those who support the in sipid bill reported by the House Labor Committee. It is sponsor ed-by Rep. Elliott (D-Ala.), since Chairman Barden. (D-N.C.) of the Labor Committee refused to per mit use of this name. 3. Those who advocate even weaker legislation. This is the public position of the AFL-CIO,. although many observers think it -would be delighted to settle for the House Committee bill in -order to avoid more effective legislation. 4. Those- who are supporting' the Landrum-Griffin bill in the belief that, under, the circum stances, it is the best measure that could win approval of a House majority. ' 5. Those who are convinced that every effort should be put forth to obtain approval of the strongest possible labor legisla tion. There is certain to be some re- JILL Shoppe organization of. these vartM 1 arsupf) as debate and voting Mfl tit\jttes. The big course, is the line-up onvW most votes. ™ f§ One of these crucial votes wJH brdbably be o'h adoption of till Landrum-Griffin bill as a JMSB stitute for the measure rep#t«M by the House Committee. "4 But industry hopes thjl amendments will be sought; foB approval of additional provisionl not contained in the Landruid Griffin bill. These would ini elude a secret strike ballot, ren ulation of union political actiVß ties, placing unions under « antitrust laws, curbing compuM sory unionism and restoration p| traditional states’s rights.
