Me and Houdini! Ever since
boyhod mdgic has had a lasting
fascination for me. But I never
became very adept, and can in
nowise class myself a proses-l
sional magician.' With me it
remains a hobby—pure and sim
ple. Magic is show business, it
requires stagecraft and show
manship as well as skill in per
forming the tricks. And a per
son must have a little “ham”,
in his mftkeup to successfully
perform magic in a smooth and
professional manner. I have
very little of these necessary
ingredients that a stage ma- 1
gician must have. But that does;
not deter me from dabbling in
magic; I like it, and get a kick:
out of even performing before;
a mirror with myself for an'
audience. Recently I have per
formed for several groups of
Boy Scouts—or rather, instead
of performing, I just “did” my

Dr. Andrew A. Best l of Green
ville, N. C., was really at his'
best as he spoke at the Awards
Program Tuesday in connection!
with the Community Develop-1
ment program in Chowan Coun- |
ty. His message on “Progress
For Our Times” stressed the ad- 1
vantages of community develop-!
ment and what each individual!
and family must put into it, if
we are to improve and be suc-i
cessful. '
In complimenting the com-j
munities on work accomplished,
in 1961, Dr. Best pointed out
that success today is used as
a stimulus to press on to future J
achievements. He warned'
against complacency and defeat-;
ism and challenged each to
#learn what is right, then have|
courage to do what is right. |
Seven communities worked on
Community Development in
1961. Ratings earned by each
are: j

bang out of it as I did, then
we were both pleased.
FURTHER NOTE OF MAGIC—
i Casey Hugh Dobson of States-'
! ville, North Carolina, is totally
blind, but he performs feats of
magic with the smooth skill
of a professional magician. That
i should be a lesson to those of
us with two good eyes who as-!
pire to the role of magician. l
Dobson adapts his tricks to his
own individual style, taking into
'consideration the limitations of
; 'his handicap. But, says Dob
son, the showmanship is the
! whole thing. , i

The key to a happy, success
ful family rest with careful
family planning and manage
ment. This should be done far
enough ahead to avoid the last
minute rush, so that the family
can enjoy and emphasize the
spiritual values that Christian
families believe and live by.
Our traditions may include
the’ tree, Santa Claus, gifts,
cards, Christmas devotionals,
splitting the atom. But that
would require too great a sacri
; fice to the great god progress.
If modern man ever adopts a
coat-of-arms, it will contain
I these words: Bigger, Better,
More. The trend of everything
is up, up, up. The government
wants more and more of your
money in taxes; spiraling prices
take more of what is left. If
a fellow owns a car, he wants
a better one. No matter what
he has, he wants a bigger, or
a better one, or more. Man is
never satisfied. Even in the
matter of death and destruction,
he wants- more. Bigger atom
bombs, better atom bombs, and
more of ’em. . If we ever do
travel down the road to total
annihilation, we won’t be pikers,
we’ll all die on a grand scale.

No compromise with communism!
and a big family dinner, among
other things. The entire family
should share in the planning and
activities connected with each,
■so that all may enjoy an un

Civil Defense Plans
Key To Survival
Continued from Page 1, Section 1
cities completely destroyed; long
lines of weary, homeless, dis
placed people with their only
possessions on their back. The
sick, the hungry, wandering
from place to place not know
ing what tomorrow would bring.
Can you spare a few hours a
week to help guard against.this
kind of thing? I am sure that
you could if you thought that
some day your family and loved
ones would be in the procession
of the homeless. When I read
today’s newpapers I can’t help
wonder how soon. We have* had
much more warning than we did
in World War 11. You see pic
tures of young men leaving for
active duty; headlines about
American troops facing Com
munist troops in Berlin at the
wall and news headlines and
pictures from many places
where Communism is trying to (
spread. One thing for sure, the
Communist plan is dedicated to
overthrow democracy as we
have it and to world domina-|
tion and slavery. We must!
draw the line somewhere and i
when we draw the line we must
be able to stand pat. To doj
this we must be able to sur-,
vive. Our ability to recover is
very important in the overall
defense planning of our country.
We must display a staving pow
er and endurance beyond that'
ever before required from the
i people of this nation; if we do
th:s, along with our military de
fense and retaliatory forces we
will then have a strong deter
rent to war. The Communists
will think a long time before
they attack if we have the abili
ty to survive the attack and
come back fighting. |
We know that Russia has an
extensive civil defense system.
The Russians have established
units for the protection of every
factory, collective farm, school
and university. Millions of its
population are being instructed
in the principles of civil de
fense. We are dragging our
feet. We’re waiting for good old
Uncle to tuck us safely in bed.
We’re waiting for someone else
to make the move. There is
one thing we must face up to:,
There are a lot of things we
must do ourselves; we must
learn what can be done by each
and every one of us; we must
take time to find out what sur
vival is all about. Any
i able plan you make will increase ;
I your chances of survival. Let’s
1 throw out the defeatist attitude j
i and stop thinking why we
shouldn’t. Let’s get together
with our family and our friends
—talk it over. If I can help in!
plans call me, phone 31111
“or visit the office at the Hotel
Joseph Hewes in Edenton. Sur-;
vival planning is your insurance
against disaster. Twenty years!
ago we had time to regroup and
reorganize; until now, we have!
been protected from war at
home by our oceans and the
ability of our forces to fight
wars overseas . . . nuclear weap-;
ons have changed this. We can’t
make our plans after .the alert
signal sounds.
