Some criticism has been level
ed at me because of my story,
“The Day Edenton Sank”. My
critics ask, “Don’t you like
Edenton?”—“What have you got
against Edenton?” My answer
to such queries is, “I love Eden
ton.” That is why I wrote the
story; I want them and all Eden
tonians to think —and think' seri
ously. We must not risk an
other world conflagration, and
the only alternative is an endur
ing peace. ‘ Make no mistake
about it, the next war will not
be fought entirely on foreign soil,
as have been the last three wars.
A major portion of it will be
fought on U. S. soil, here in
America. We will feel the ter
rors of warfare first hand, and
■we will suffer more than just
having our sugar and gasoline
Rationed. The United States will
be a battleground and in that
battleground will be Edenton.

Care Os Household Linens
Homemakers in New Hanover
County learned recently how to
buy and care for linens. In buy
ing sheets, look for thread count,
breakage strength, finish size,
weight, workmanship and p ice.
Miss Verna Belle Lowery,
%ome economics- agent, gave
these five tips for helping to
prolong life of sheets; Never
yank from beds because
hard pulling is damaging to a>
fabric; reverse sheets; remove
spots and stains before launder-;
ing; do not fold a slightly dampj
sheet because mildew may form |
which weakens the fabric; and,
rotate sheets for longer wear.

i One of the most diversified hunting areas—where else
§*■ _ can you “hunt” wild ponies in one section and wild
boar in another, to say nothing of bear, deer, quail,
turkey, dove, marsh hen, duck and geese in between?
! Hunting in North Carolina means better living for both
natives and thousands of visitors annually. Os course,
hunting is controlled by laws according to seasons
* , and limits in keeping with game protection and good
* sportsmanship. " , *■
Another aspect of better living in North Carolina is the
“legal control" law covering the sale of beer and ale
which has been widely adopted throughout the state in i

THE CHOWAN HERALD
J Let’s don’t lean over back
wards in our zeal to clean up
TV shows. We can’t dispense
with some fakery—for example,
examine a Hollywood movie set,
replete with false shrubbery,
buildings, sound effects, all ne
cessary to bring into focus the
illusion of realism. Oftentimes
this fakery is more real than
reality itself. Too sham a real
ism can sometimes defeat the
essentials of good drama.
What is a duck fit? All my
life I’ve heard the expression.
“Having a duck fit.” which is
the eauivalent of “Blowing his
stack,” or “Hitting the ceiling.”
I’ve never known its origin, nor
have I ever heard of a duck
having a fit. Does anyone
know?
Early traders with the Indians
seldom wore buckskin or fringed
old patterns of the Home Dem
onstration women. Some of th<
blocks are pieced and quilter
and all are remarkable exaim
pies of color selection and stitch

Native Trees And Shrubs
“Beauty is as close as th
nearest tree, so look at it the
way you look at a painting,”
1 says Mrs. E. L. Griffin, Shaw
boro. As home beaut if icatioi
leader in Currituck County, Mr.
Griffin encourages the use of
, native shrubs in landscaping.
! She says when planting trees
| keep in mind berries for the
1 birds, fruits, nuts and leaves tha
will be colorful in the fall.
Mrs. Elizabeth Sanderlin,
economics agent, says the 196
! project is for each family p
f plant a watermelon red crep<
myrtle tree in their yard.
Better Meals For
Your Money
If your budget is limited would
1 you buy calves liver at $1.39
per pound, beef liver at 49
coats or any wearing apparel
that was similar to the Indian’s
clothing. To do so would lower
the prestige of the trader in the
eyes of the Indian, and also
Cause the Indian to treat the
trader with contempt which
was net good for business. The
movies and TV must not be
aware of this fact, for they fre
quently have their characters
garbed in clothing that no real
trader would wear . . . The
quarter horse is the most ver
satile horse of the West. His
uses are many: Cutting, brand
ing, roping, all-around saddle
horse. For general ranch, range,
cattle and stock working, the
quarter horse is unsurpassed.

Better Breakfast Ideas
“Five Minutes More And Your 1
Breakfast Will Score” was the j
theme of a Stanly County fair j
booth this year. The booth con-i
sisted of two breakfast tables. |
According to Miss Elizabeth '
Watson, home economics agent.!
one table was set corre tly
with a nutritious breakfast menu.
The other table featured a iar
of instant coffee, pot of hot
water, bread in a wrapper and
a jar of jelly. How does your
table look at breakfast time?

“Repent ... or else ...”
(Revelation 2:5; 2:16; 2:22; 3:3;
3:19). The final word of our'
Lord Jesus Christ to His Church |
is not “Go ye therefore andl
preach the Gospel to every!
creature,” but “Repent . , . or
else ...” The command to
carry glorious message of
redemption through faith in the
Son cf God who shed His b’ood
as our Substitute upon the cross
is indeed binding above all oth
er commands upon us today—
but His final message to us is
to recent; and, as in similar ad
monitions to ancient Israel, the
command to “repent” is follow
ed by the warning “or else.”
In the midst of revived inter- i
est in religion, with Hollywood
rewriting the Bible to give it
sex-apDeal and so render it ac-|
eeptable to the dberiminatin?!
modern mind, in the midst of
“Back to Religion” campaigns,:
Life magazine saying nice things!
about God, the devil’s rowd
covering itself in a cloak of
churchianity, we would do well
to examine ourselves to deter-!
mine whether or not we are
pleasing God.
We emphasize tv- e jov and
aeace aspects of Christianity, bu*
?oft-pedal the sacrifice, trial and
’ross. We used to sing:
The Son of God goes forth to
war,
\ Kingly crown to ga’.n;
His blood-red banner streams
afar,
-Who follows in His- tra : n?
I Come to think of it. Who does?

j Our churches are busy build
-1 ing, expanding, growing; so j
were t>3 five churches in Asia I
| Minor who were commanded to
: repent. What influence has the
church on the morals of our
time? Upon the books that are|
j written? The movies that are j
shown? The television programs
that invade the privacy of our !
homes? Any at all? I think
not.
There is much emp’-asis on
i the Power of Positive Thinking.
Perhaps we need a few sermons
on the Power of Negative Think
ing. “All have sinned;” that’s
negative thinking. “The wages
of sin is death;” that’s negative
thinking. But it’s true!
Mav it not be that our Lord’s
message to His Church today is
the same as it was so long ago:
“He that hath an ear, let him
hear; Repent or else”?
As God wills, beginning with
next week’s column I will begin
a study of the seven churches in
Asia Minor which are mentioned
in chapters two and three of
the Book of the Revelation.
