A LIFT Fm TODAY Jesus said, suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me—Matt. 19:14. If ouf future leaders are to be dominated by righteous principles, the children of today must find the path that leads to God. That is our only hope for civilization. O God. bless children everywhere. May the meaning of Thy love and care reach their tender hearts and save them to be used of Thee. || **-e*^ A *‘ Lucky At That Hurricane Donna has come and gone And in its wake has left a great deal of damage not to say, anything about the scattering of debris from one end of the town to the other. The experience of the hurricane, if nothing else, emphasizes the insigniiicance and helplessness of man, when faced with the elements of na ture. Man oftentimes apparently takes on the attitude that lie is all-powerful and su preme, but there are times when his ego must take a back seat. True, the hurricane has caused a great deal of damage in Chowan (ounty and much money and effort will be necessary to get back to normal. But even then this county has been extremely lucky in that there whs not more damage. Fortunately, indeed, are we that in the midst of so much wreckage there was not a single life lost nor any seri ous injury retried. \\ ith the wind blowing huge trees and limbs and scattering debris oi all kinds it could easily have resulted in in jury and esen death. It takes calamities sometimes such as the hurricane to see what |>eople are made ot. Here in Eden ton the whole town was perme ated with consideration and cooperation. Places of refuge were opened so that people could escajie |>o;;il»le injury. Memliers of the local National Guard Unit offered their services in' various ways, which can also tie said of highway patrolmen, local |W»lice, fire men,* members of the Street and Electric & Water Departments, as well as others. To be sure many people were obliged to undergo inconveniences due to electric and telephone services knocked nut. Frees and limbs blocked .-Arrets, as well as entrances to homes and general littering of premises with debris. , Street Department employees were on the job as soon as |>os.sible Monday morning and did a magnanimou- job in opening up streets which were blocked. I hey worked like Tro jans so that generally people realize that all the debris cannot be cleaned up at one time. Progress is being made and. like one Edenton Indy remarked. >Ae will wager a bet that Edenton will "be cleaned up faster than any other town which was a victim of the hurri cane. Electric & Water Department employee.' also bent their effort.' to make repairs to electric lines and removing wires so that fall en trees could be removed. They, too, de serve a word of praise for the way the\ tackled the tremendous task of repairing the damage done l>\ tlw hurricane. There were many others also who made worthy contributions of one kind or another during the emergency. Edentonians. while more or less dazed at the fury and damage done by Donna, met the emergency four-square and but for the precautions takrn and tool-headedness of its citizens much more disastrous could have been the consequences. . Yes. the town is messed up and much dam age has been done, but Edenton and Chowan County citizens have every reason to thank a kind Providence that we esea|>ed as luckily as we did. , Help The Band It will be noticed that Mayor John Mitch ener has proclaimed the week of September 18-24 as Band Week in Edenton. The band makes only this one appeal for funds, so that it: is hSped theif budget for the year, $3.- wfl) be forthcoming during the week. ; The band is one of Edenton 's best adver tisements. It benefits the town and what benefits the town directly or indirectly bene fits every person making up the town. With such a valuable and delightful asset, it behooves Edenton business concerns" and citizea? as well to make a generous contri bution so the, band can continue to be an or ganization of which we can well be proud. Rumors are the basis for much opinion and ht&ivfor and. seldom bear any relatiooshio to the y V to the truth. iJJearJ ijX My Buff Edenton's Aces will make their longest trif of the current football season Friday night when they go to Wallace to tangle with th Wallace-Rose Hill Bulldogs. The Duplii. County aggregation is reported to be the best Coach Thel Overman has had in yearly He's some good ’uns, so that it look; as though the. Aces will face just about the toughest foe on their schedule. The band and cheerleaders will make the trip and. though ,it's a pretty long piece to Wallace and back, here’s hoping a lot of Edenton fans will go to the trouble to go to the game. The Edenton boys are in good shape and they rea lize they will have a tough battle, so that the game might be well worth the trip. The Aces stumped the Bulldogs 26-0 last year, but it might be a different story this year. See you in Wallace! Women in Edentdn often object to trees be ing taken down, but a gang of trees were down Monday morning and no objection was heard. In fact it was proof that some of 'em should have been taken down even before Hurricane Donna unleashed its fury. Though many trees and large limbs were hurled to the ground, Edenton can consider itself for tunate that nobody was killed or even seri ously hurt. It's a lot of mess to clean up, but it could have been a lot worse. o— —— Among Edenton students who have been busy getting their duds ready over the week end was Ashby Tarkington. Ashby had to buy a new pair of shoes and was rather un decided if he wanted black or brown shoes. The clerk must have been rather accommo dating. for when Ashby opened the shoe box at hi; home he' found one black and one brown shoe. o The banquet room at the Edenton Restau rant was just about filled Thursday night w'hen a dinner was served in honor of the worthy grand matron of the Order of the Eastern Star. The meal was exceptionally good and to top it off chiffon lemon pie was served as dessert. Ore of the ladies, after eating her slice remarked, “Just what I want for Christmas." And at the dinner a bag of roasted peanuts was among the favors. The peanuts were sent from California, but I’m informed they were good old Chowan peanuts in- ddie the bags. 'They were sent by John Ritcbie head oT a large nut concern ln*T?ftlt-' forma, who was recently in Edenton and fell in love with the place so that he remained two or three times longer than he anticipated. <! O It was easy to see that a lot of people were stirring around much earlier Monday morning than usual. Reason: Hurricane Donna. Many people didn't* sleep at all during the night, some not even doning bedclothes, and were out bright and early to see what had happened. Well, they saw! There’s a lot of 'em who took naps during the afternoon to catch up with a little sleep. o Tom Ridgeway, who recently resigned as administrator at Chowan Hospital, was also chairman of the Chowan Red Cross blood program. With Tom gone. Dr. Archie Walk er informed me just before going to press that (he Red Cross bloudmobile is scheduled to be in Edenton Friday, September 30. It will be at thF armory from 10 A. M.„ to 5 P. M.. and the quota for Chowan (and that in clude; the area outside of Edenton ) is 105 pints thi; time. At the last visit the quota was 95 pints and the quota was not reached so that make-up donors had to go to Ply mouth to save the blood program. This blood is too much needed for Chowan County, so that surely there are 105 people out of about 12,000 who are willing to donate a pint of blood to relieve suffering and possibly saving a life. Who knows the next person who needs a blood transfusion might be YOU! —o A rather surprising visitor to The Herald office Wednesday' morning was Harry Per kinson, a former Edentonian, who now lives in Norfolk. Harry said he wanted to apolo gize to me for something he did many years agb. Harry said some rather uncompliment ary things about me and even threatened to beat my frame for something I put in The Herald. The incident, so far as I am con - „ *•» 7 cerned. has been long since forgotten until he mentioned it, but it’s a grand and glorious feeling when you think a fellow is mad at you and then discover that he isn’t. Just as I've said-before, the world is full of surprises and Harry 's visit was one of ’em. • o And speaking about goodness in people, Dick Hines was running over with apprecia tion early this week. Hurricane Donna mess ed, up the electric service and Dick says he never experienced so much consideration and appreciation on the part of people in trouble. His department done all was humanly possi ble to do and apparently most everybody rea lized it Anyway Did! hopes his men will have all the damage fixed up by Friday night TIB CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON.
