New York Harlem Hoboes Will
Play In Edenton Friday Night
“Jo Jo The Hobo” heads the
basketball fun show as the fa

take on the fast traveling St.
Louis (show me) stars in an
other of their current barnstorm
ing glunes. The Hoboes and the
Stars are slated to play at Eden
ton Colored High School Friday;
night, November 13. Game timej
is 8:15 o’clock. Jo Jo, who hails;
from New York City, his real!
name is Milton Shay. He joined!
the traveling cage buffons three j
seasons ago, since that time he
has thrilled and “fractured” fans
throughout the states. Jo Jo
plays the guard position and is
one of the team’s chief scorers.
The St. Louis Stars are billed
as “Whiz Kids of the Midwest” |
and they are just what the name |
implies—a dashing bunch of bas-

* SAYS *
Washington That the Unit
ed States is lagging in the space
race is no longer debatable.
Space Lag Tragedy
The tragedy of the space lag
is that persons in places ol
great responsibility have repeat
edly discounted the significance
of our unfortunate posi.ion. A
frank recognition of the situa
tion should be a first step in
rallying the people behind the
sacrifices that will undoubtedly
have to be made.
The United States has been
under unnecessary psychological
disadvantage since the Soviets
put their first satellite in orbit,
Sputnik I. two years ago. Lu
nik 111 has accented this psy
chological disadvantage and the
fact that our country now has
an uphill pull in this vi al are"'-
of scientific achievement. A
widening space gap between the*
United States and Russ a can no
loncer be tolerated without’jeop
ardizing our very existence.
Confusion In Program
Frankness compels me to make
the observation that confuson
and lack of centralized atr'hnritv
in the space program have been
largely responsible for our un-j
happy position.

After the Russians launched
j Sputnik I, General John .Medaris
testified before the Senate Arm
■j ed Services Committee, of which
> I am a member, that the Red
s | stone Arsenal team could have
-1 put a United States satellite in
;j orbit at least 14 months before
U the Russians, had the-wraps been
- taken off the program. What
l a needless loss of psychological
? and scientific advantage was
i caused by confusion!
Effective Plan Needed
l Congress has been unable to
1 get a clear-cut proposal from the
; Pentagon, and the accomplish
. ments of the Soviets in the space
- program have been minimized by
■ the White House.
; I believe Congress will con
s't’nue to stand ready to provide
:' whatever funds are necessary to
L make effective progress in the
d space program. It will necessi
tate more than wishing to make
• effective proeress come about.
Now that the public is again
aroused over our laging soace
. urogram, perhaps the White
ti House and Pentagon will sense
- the people’s concern.
i Action will be the urgent or
der of business when the Con
-1 gress convenes.
The Center Hill Senior 4-H Club
will also meet Monday, but at
7:30 P. M. I hope that all of
these club members will try to
attend and bring their completed
record books with them if they
haven’t already turned them in
| to Miss Aman or me.
The school 4-H Clubs met this
week. The demonstration topics
j were “Buying and Care of Sweat-
I ers and Skirts” for the girls and
I “Soil Sampling Procedures” for
| the boys. Both of these demon
-1 strations are timely.
Soil sampling is very import
; ant for all farming enterprises.

DOWN WE CO —With this blimp-shaped vessel, “Trieste,” scientists hope to probe deeper
yet into l the ocean’s canyons. Designed by French deep sea experts Auguste and Son Jacques
Piccard, the device is being lifted onto a freighter at San Diego, Calif., for a voyage to the 35.000-
foot Marianas Trench in the Pacific.
Every ' boy taking a crop pro
ject such as corn, soybeans or
peanuts is asked to take a soil
sample for his project. Now is
the time to do this. Often, if
you wait until a few weeks be
fore planting season, there is a
delay in getting the results of
your sample. The laboratories
are crowded with samples at that
time. If you send your soil
sample in now, you will hear
from it in plenty of time to or
der the right analysis and amount
of fertilizer you will need. Also,
where lime is needed, it should
be applied several months ahead
of planting. Limestone is slow
acting and' for it to have the
desired effect on your crop, it
must be applied well ahead of
the planting date. So come by
our office in the Post Office
building and pick up soil sample
boxes and cartons, information
sheets, and other information
and take your soil sample right
away. You’ll be glad you did.
I was very pleased with the
way the new officers presided
at ths 4-H Club meetings this
month. Some were a little ner
vous but I’ll bet they will do
even better next month. It’s a
real pleasure for me to see you
.develop this confidence and
ability to speak before a group.
Two reminders:
1. —Turn in project record
books right away. They are al
ready past due.

Oranges Made In
Soybean Supports
Premiums and Dis
counts Allowed For
Foreign Material
For the first time in 1959
there will be monetary premiums
and discounts for foreign ma
terial in soybeans placed under
support in this state. According
to H. D. Godfrey, ASC State
Administrative Officer, the quan
tity of soybeans placed under
ASC’s price support program in
the past was reduced by the
amount of foreign material in
excess of 2 percent. In addi
tion, he said, in the past no
premium has been added for soy
beans containing 1 percent or
less of foreign material.
This year, soybeans containing
1 percent or leas of foreign ma
terial at the time of delivery
to the Commodity Credit Cor
poration will get a premium of
2 cents per bushel. Soybeans
with foreign material of more
than 2 percent will get discounts
ranging from 1 to 6 cents per
bushel.
As in the past, soybean price
support will be carried out
through farm and warehouse
stored loans and through pur
, chase agreements. Support is
available from harvest through
January 31, and loans will ma
ture next May 31.
“The basic support rate for
soybeans of the current crop in
all North Carolina counties will
be SI.BO per bushel for Grade
No. 2,” Godfrey said.
Peanut Allotment
Reduced For 1960
1960 Allotment 168,966
Acres as Against
169,118 This Year
North Carolina’s share of the
national peanut allotment has
been reduced by 152 Seres for
1860. According to Zeno O. Rat-
THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. WORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 12, 1959.
with this year’s allotment of
169,118 acres. This represents
North Carolina’s share of the
total national allotment for 1960
of 1,607,988 acres.
There are peanut allotments in
47 of the 100 North Carolina
counties. In these counties pea
nut farmers will be permitted
to vote December 15 to decide
whether or not marketing quo
tas on peanuts will be in effect
for 1960. According to Ratcliff,
farmers voting in this referen
dum will also determine the
level of price support which
will prevail on peanuts in 1960.
The level of support will be re
duced considerably if the refer
endum does not carry. Also, if
the referendum does not carry,
farmers who overplant their
peanut allotment will not be 1 as
sessed a penalty. However,
acreage allotments will remain
in effect regardless of the out
come of the referendum, and
each farm will be allotted the
same number of acres regard
less of the outcome of the refer
endum. Compliance with the al
lotment established in 1960 will
also be required in order for a
farmer to be eligible for price
support even ■at the reduced
level, Ratcliff said.
PLEDGED TO FRATERNITY
Eighty Atlantic Christian Col

Included in the group is John

I wars have been fought over
[ stubborn conyictions held in
hatred and the desire for re
venge. How may we know
whether or not our convictions
are foolish dr noble, selfish and
| prideful, or Christ-like'and help
j ful? There is one simple test
indicated in this story of Ste- <
phen’s martyrdom. “Full of the
Holy Spirit,” he looked “into
heaven and saw the glory o!
God and JesUs standing at the
right hand of God!” (Acts 7:55).
The meaning of these words is
significant. Stephen was seek
ing not his own glory, but the
glory of God. At the basis of
his convictions was the spirit of
Jesus, “the Holy Spirit,” by
which he tested everything.
We have heard it said, “He
has the strength -of his convic
tions.” Well, this is next in
importance to being sure that
our convictions stand the test
of love. How strong are they?
Again the answer comes from
I this beautiful account of the way
Stephen stood for what he be
lieved. “And as they were ston
ing Stephen, he prayed, ‘Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit’ ” (Acts
7:59).
Here we find the reason far
his strength. Like us, he was
frail and afraid of himself. Like
him, we do not have the power

llt is given to us. The purely
self-centered, self-dependent per-
I son cannot withstand in the evil
day. It is “net by might, nor
by power, but by my soirit, says
the Lord of hosts” (Zachariah
r 4:6).
Suffering for one’s convictions
deepens and extends one’s influ
ence. For example, Stephen’s
martyrdom has a profound in->
fluence in the conversion of
Paul. If one looks at a cause
in the light of the scars, he
. may give up the cause. But if
one looks at the scars in the
light of the cause, the cause may
be glorified.
j Christ calls on us to live in
the light of the best that we
know. We ought also to be
diligent in seeking for greater
