North Caroline, under the act of March 3. 1879. Vui-n.i i.rir„-. THURSDAY. JUNE 18. 1989. »“***. J ” . A LIFT FOR TODAY By grace are ye saved through faith ... it is the gin of God. —Ephesians 3:8. GRACE IS FIRST from God; so it is continual ly from him, as much as light is all day long from the sun, as well as -at first dawn or at sun nsing. —J. Edwards. O God, teach us the matchlesa example of Christ, Our Lord, in sacrifice and service. Worthy Project Members of th.e 1960 graduating class at John A. Holmes High School are to be con gratulated for their decision to adopt as their project which would have been far less Scholarship Fund: Tne seniors made a con tribution of $265.99 to this fund, which now stands at $1,006.13. Bobby was a popular member of the class of 1960, but met a tragic and untimely death in a shotgun accident. He had planned to en ter the field of medicine, so that, following his death a Medlin Belch Scholarship Fund was inaugurated at the school to help any worthy and needy student to take up medicine. The seniors could easily have contributed the funds they had on hand to some other porject which would have been far less worthy. Their contribution will not only be made available to some worthy student, but it reflects the love and admiration they hold for one of their classmates and should result in greater satisfaction in the fact that some thing was done for somebody else. What About The Girls? It is interesting to note that not only young sters. but older men are interested in recre ation. A group of boys numbering around 50 are reporting daily at the ball park for par ticipation in the Little League. Then a soft ball league for young men will begin play Tuesday, June 21. A great deal of interest is shown by both groups, so that this recreation should prove very beneficial. It will not only help build stronger bodies but like all athleftics it should teach those participating the value of fair play and sportsmanship. The effort is worth while and The Herald hopes both groups will be successful. This sport is primarily for boys and young men, but has it occurred to you that there are many young girls in Edenton who crave and need some sort of wholesome recreation? Proud Os Them Members of the local unit of the National Guard are expected to return from Fort Bragg Sunday after two weeks of extensive training. It is interesting to note that the local com pany was part of the outfit to receive the unanimous choice for commendation as the outstanding unit in performance, which speaks well for the officers and men making up the company. Edenton and Chowan County may well be proud of the local National Guard unit, for they are numbered with North Carolina’s finest in a military sense, but they are also on hand and ready to serve their community in any kind of an emergency. A Nation Without Cars Imagine, if you can, a deathly still nation over the Fourth of July, its streets deserted of motor vehicles, every car behind locked garage doors. Think of it—no traffic on the streets. No trucks, buses, cars or whatnot clogging the streets and highways during the forthcoming three-day holiday! No din of honking horns and blaring car radios and screeching tires. Think of it . . . No trips to Grandma’s house. No week-end outings. No one taking a vacation. Os course, this is strictly fantasy. We’re a motorized nation—a nation on wheels, a na tion of people whose life is geared to the motor vehicle. If we were ordered to keep our car in the garage for three days, we’d set up a fuss and holler that would be heard ’round the world. And rightly so! - ; The National Safety Council, founded in 1913 to prevent all kinds of accidents, has always encouraged Americans to have fun over the holidays, to take trips, to get out doors and enjoy life. But it points out—re alistically. it seems to us—that you can’t have fan and enjoy life very well from a wheel chair ... or a grave! So pfcaae he sure to use extra care to meet the extra danger! Everyone agrees the auto and all it has brought to this nation are marvelous. But the auto was never intended to be an instrument of death—over the Fourth of July holiday or any time of the year. So use k ' ■■■; 1 *■ ■ —~— \JJearJ O’ -Seen Byßuff Last week I exercised the prerogative of 9 woman—the right to change my mind. 1 had about decided not to attend the 50th reunion of my high school graduating class held in York, Pa., but at the last minute. I decided to meet with the old “fogies". It was rather embarrassing to be among a group of old classmates, some of whom I had not seen in 50 years, and not be able to recognise them. But I soon discovered 1 was not by myself, for most of ’em didn't recognixe each other. A lot of water has gone over the dam in that half century and a lot of hair has gone down the drain and much of what is left has turned gray. The gals, on the other hand, looked attractive and rather young looking, but 1 didn't have the nerve to ask if their hair had been dyed. I did, however, tell 'em that de spite their young-looking appearance I could guess all of their ages within one or two years. Os course, punch was on hand, but about the only thing besides orange juke, ke and water, the strongest other ingredient might have been vitamins. It was a grand reunion, however, and many delightful reminiscenses which, to gether with mingling and chatting with class mates half a century ago made the trip worth while. Some of ’em even put in reservations for a 1970 reunion. So did I, telling ’em my address would be the same for two reasons, first that I fell in love with Edenton over 37 years ago and second that I can't raise enough money to leave even if I wanted to. Any way, one of the fellows asked me a question I couldn’t answer. While introducing me. it was stated that I remarried. One of the group then turned to me and asked. "Why in the dickens did you decide to get remarried at your age?” o It was like losing a member of my family when I returned to Edenton Monday to learn that Bill Manning, one of the owners of the Williamston Enterprise had died. Bill was a bosom friend of mine and a prince of a fellow. We’ve attended many Press Associa tion meetings together and he was the sort of fellow who derived a lot of pleasure when he could do a friend a favor. Good-natured almost to a fault. Bill did many favors for ..The Herald especially in the e&rlv days of its existence. He was a friend to many people who will miss him, and 1 am among that group. My sympathy goes to his family and friends who were legion. o It was a shock, too, to learn that Chief ot Polke Dail was hospitalized in Washington. N. C. It was feared he suffered a heart at tack, but tests and examinations did not bear out the belief. Here's hoping he shakes off his ailment and will soon be back in Edenton in uniform. It all makes us wonder just who will be next. - - O—" ' ; Mayor John Mitchencr was a surprised Mayor Tuesday night when Bill Court crash ed a discussion to say he had a very onport ant matter to bring before Town Council. He then stated that one of the members had a birthday Wednesday morning, but did not mention how old he was. After his remarks Sgt. Leo Lavoie brought forth a beautiful lighted birthday cake and presented it to the Mayor, who was frank in telling that his age as of Wednesday morning would be 46 years. He was rather profkient in cutting the cake, giving far bigger slices than if he had been selling it at his drug store. The group sang. “Happy Birthday'' and enjoyed a “feast” whkh was rather refreshing in that It caused a break in a rather vexing problem the Coun cilman were considering at the time. Then on Wednesday the Mayor sent out a lot of tickets which were good for a free drink at the drug store. Anyway, here's congratulating him upon his birthday, whkh is also the first anniversary as Edenton's Mayor. o And speaking about Town Council, the bey's had a long session Tuesday night, leaving the Munkipal Building after midnight. But an other honey is in prospect for Thursday night, June 23, when the Counctlmen will meet to work on the 1960-61 budget. If the meeting runs true to form. Mayor Mitchener ought to arrange to send sandwiches along with the drinks he usually arranges for at Town Cpun cil meetings. But a budget must be made up even if it takes a lot of time, eye-rubbing and head scratching. —* O 1 Os course, a lot of folks are going fishing these days, but here’s one who is far behind. However, I’ve not heard of any good catches, so maybe I'm not as far behind as I think. ' —■— --o It's a tough world for the American busi ness man. Each time he cmnes up with some thing new the Russians invent it a week earl ier and the Japanese make k cheaper. j A fishing rod, acceding to some wives, is yng *yay lie gPEHTPW, WORTH CBMOUKK.

Section 1 citation for its parade perform ance Saturday was -the highlight of the battle group and Combat Support Company’s first week of annual field training. Most of the week was centered around testing of the battle group's rifle squads in their combat proficiency. The units returned to quarters on the post at Fort Bragg each. evening. Monday morning the battle group moved by motor convoy some 25 miles out into the Fort Bragg reservation area to set upj bivouac, living completely in the field until Friday morning while continuing training. Members of the local Guard unit will be returning to their homes next Sunday from what has already been called one of the Guard’s best summer train ing encampments of recent years.

Personnel Os ASC Office Very Busy Continued from Page 1, Section 1 individual farmers with their acreage allotments. The job of determining acre age computations can be broken down into two major steps—first the determination of the acres on the farms which planted al lotment crops and second the actual computation of acreage of the designated acres. Chowan County uses aerial photography which shows ac tual pictures of fields, subdivi sions and farm lands contained in each farm boundary. Photo- J graphs are made on a perfect scale of 33 feet to the inch. (1 square inch equals 2V4 acres). The reporter that visits the farms plot all fields planted to allotment crops in their actual location on the photograph. In WNCT-TV WCOJ ~u. U/DTr SUNDAY U/fIAI SUNDAY If fI I 815A M ' lIUfU 12:45 P. M. some instances reporters mea sure from objects outside the planted area in order to estab lish the exact point on the pho tograph where the crop to be measured begins or ends. Land »n the field not planted to the crop being measured, which is eligible for deduction, is meas ured and listed to be subtracted from the field acreage by com puters in the ASC office. As reporters return completed photographs to the county of fice, they are checked for com pleteness. Each field marked on the photographs is examined to be sure that the farm report shows a field number and the crop planted. Acreage is then determined by a “planimeter.” This year three new girls have been hired, Mrs. Marjorie Brit ton, Mrs. Janice Byrum and Miss Jackie Asbell, to help with this work. These girls were trained carefully before begin- ning the operation. Rigid tests have proven the planimeter to be the most accurate instrument available Jor use of determin ing acreage with the aerial pho tograph. "We have given you this in formation,” says H. O. West, of North Carolina County Agents Will Be Honored Next Month The men who have been giv-, ing advisory and technical as sistance to North Carolina fann ers for more than half a cen bury will be honored next month at a luncheon in Raleigh.
