The Golden Age is not in the past but in the future; not in the origin of human experience, but in its consummate flower; not opening in Eden, but out from Gethsemane.—E. H. Chapin. Help us to live for the future and yet find our life in the realities of today, we pray, O God. Big Step Forward A very important organization, especially so far as Edenton and Chowan County is con cerned. is the Historic Edenton and Chowan County Commission. This group compris ing 16 members appointed by Governor Ter ry Sanford held its initial meeting in Eden ton Saturday and elected Dr. Robert Lee Humber of Greenville as its temporary chair man. The Edenton Woman’s Club is to be con gratulated upon being the instigators of this commission which was authorized by an act introduced by Representative Albert Byrum and passed in the last session of the General Assembly in that its primary purpose is to acquire, restore and maintain historical sites and shrines, thus assuring the preservation of Edenton's and Chowan County’s rich heril age. The commission is composed of members who arc very much interested in the value of history, so that it is the first organized effort to put and keep Edenton and Chowan County in its rightful place so far as history is con cerned. History is an asset (o any community and with the new commission now functioning, it is reasonable to believe that historical sites will be preserved, thus providing the con tinued interest and visits of many tourists. In fact with such a group now in existence, there is the possibility that Edenton and Chowan County’s historical sites could become even more valuable and attract many more tour ists to the area. Dollars For Cents There is a gratifying and growing change in one segment of our economic picture. It is the addition over the last five or six years of millions of dollars to American pay checks —-new money that went to people who once were on the deficit side of the ledger, the physically handicapped. Key to turning these non-producers into happy, willing and productive tax payers is a word we hear with increasing frequency these days. It is rehabilitation —a multi-faceted work of vocational evaluation and training, care and treatment, education and recreation. Rehabilitation is practical help for the crippled to aid them in becoming wage earn ers, independent of their families and tax supported relief. It is the teaching of skills to replace those lost or non-existent because of handicaps, the building of self-confidence and social adjustment, and the instilling of new hopes and ambitions. Through these newer avenues of approach pioneered by organizations like the nation wide family of Easter Seal Societies there al ready is ample evidence and substantial proof that children once classified as “hornebound” can usually be made wholly self-supporting when they enter adulthood while others can attain a measure of independence in sheltered workshops. The full impact of the value of these re habilitation programs supported by Easter Seal funds is not always obvious. That one billion dollar payroll and the percentage of it that goes to federal income taxes is, however, proof in point. Each passing year as more and more of the disabled find practical pro ductive outlets for their skills, the total will mount. That is all to the good. But complacency, public apathy, sheer indifference can quickly stifle progress and accomplishment. It has happened to many worthy plans. It must not happen to crippled children and handicapped adults who can benefit through rehabilitation When you are asked to give to Easter Seals, consider it an investment in America as well as in humanity. Those who look enviously at the lovely flowers in their neighbors’ yards can correct their lack by a similar output of time and energy. Those who get mad while playing a game should not play games. ydeard & Seen ByBu" I ' so Going into the acquarium at the U. S. Fish Hatchery the other day, I noticed what I thought was a fish in distress and wanted to do a good deed by letting somebody know about it. I told James Maxwell what I’d just seen, hoping he would dig out the fish buried in the sand with only the head sticking out. But Friend Maxwell didn't get excited at all, saying it was an eel which has a habit of coming out to cat and then burying itself in the sand. Something new I’ve learned about eels and wamder why some of ’em are not buried in the sand when caught while fishing for speckled perch and playing havoc with the fishing line. 11. I’. Perry, who lives at Hampton, Va.. sent in his renewal to The Herald and with it a note read: “Let’s have more Center Hill News”. I agree with him, and here’s hoping the Center Hill folks furnish me with the in formation to put in The Herald. o Whether it’s proper etiquette or not, here’s one who picks up with the fingers barbecue chicken when I eat it. Such was the case at the barbecue chicken dinner served by the Chowan Ruritans at the Chowan Community Building. And I learned a new wrinkle from Mrs. Lloyd C. Bunch, who also enjoyed the meal. Mrs. Bunch knows how greasy the fingers get when eating barbecue chicken so she took no chances in seeing to it that she could propertly wipe her fingers. She brought along a dampened wash cloth which is a good idea . It’s a darned site better than trying to wipe the fingers with a paper napkin. And what was so nice about her, she shared the wash cloth with those sitting near her —which took in me. > o Edenton was not quite the same the early part of the week for it was without radio ser vice. Station WCDJ. due to technical diffi culties. was off the air a portion of Monday and Tuesday and had to wait for an engineer from South Carolina to fix the trouble. Well, radio stations, like newspapers, have their breakdowns and when these misfortunes oc cur. a fellow feels like butting his head against a brick wall. And it’s a great relief when the trouble is remedied. Anyway, with weather like it’s been the early part of the week, if I'd be a radio employee, the no-work spell would have been taken up with a little fishing. How ever, thh station was on the air again Wed nesday morning. o Chowan County’s political waters are very calm, with only four candidates filing for of fice up to Wednesday morning for the May primary election. L. S. Byrum, chairman of the Chowan County Board of Elections, pass es out the information that Friday, April 13, at 12 o'clock noon is the deadline to file as a candidate. And Mr. Byrum further says that 12 o'clock means 12 o’clock and not a minute or two after 12 o'clock. o Friendship is a wonderful thing, so that coming across an article in a pharmaceutical magazine entitled “What Is A Friend,” thought it might be interesting to pass it on. It reads as follows: WHAT IS A FRIENDf It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can go naked with him. He seems to ask of you to put on nothing, to be nothing, only what you are. When you are with him. you feel as a prisoner feels, who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, express what you feel. He is shocked at nothing so long as it is genuinely you. He understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. You can abuse him, neglect him, berate him. Best of all. you can keep si ill with him. It makes no matter. He lilies you . . . You can weep with him, laugh with him, sin with him. pray with him. Through and underneath it all he sees, knows and loves you. A friend is a person who knows all about you and still loves you. o Sometimes people think they arc very, very important, and it was while cleaning up a portion of my desk the other day that I came across the following, which might help reduce some egoism: INDISPENSABLE MAN Sometime when you’re feeling important. Sometime when your ego’s in bloom. Sometime when you take it for granted You're the outstanding man in the room, Sometime when you feel that vour going Would leave an unfillable hole lust follow these simple instructions T n the interest of peace for your soul. Take a bucket and fill it with water, Put your hand in it up to the wrist. Pull it out—and the hole that’s remaining Is a measure of how you’ll be missed. You may splash all you please when you enter. You can stir up the water galore. But stop—and you’ll find in a minute That it looks quite the same as before. There’s a moral to this quaint example: Do the best that you possibly can! Be proud of yourself, but remember. There is no indispensable man. v THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THPMPAT. MARCH 2§, 1962. Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel Near First Stage Os Completion Contractors for the $200,000,- 000 Chesapeake Bay Bridge-1 Tunnel expect to complete the I first 3.3-mile section of low level trestle on the project by April 15th. The section stretches from the south shore of the bay near Norfolk northward to the first of four-man-amde islands in the 17.5-mile crossing. The islands! are being built to provide tran sition between the trestle and two mile-long tunnels under shipping channels linking the bay with the Atlantic Ocean. Scheduled to open for traffic by the end of 1963, the bridge tunnel will join the Virginia mainland and the tip of the Del- 1 marva peninsula. It will cut an hour and a half off travel lime between New York and I Florida along the coastal Ocean Hiway route. “We have driven and capped the supporting piles from the shore to the first island and ac cording to present estimate we will have the roadway in place by April 15,’’ J. R. Liles reports. Liles is project manager for Tidewater - Raymond - Kiewit, three of the four joint-venture contractors building the bridge tunnel. The trestle proved its tough ness during the second week in March when the heaviest tides , since 1933 smashed the coast- 1 , line from New York to South j Carolina. It withstood the storm without a trace of damage. I ( More than 1.3 million cubic feet of concrete and 8 million pounds of steel are being used in the initial trestle section. j ■ A total of 707 hollow- pre- ( stressed concrete piles, 54 inches in diameter, were driven into the bay bottom and shore, three abreast in bents spaced 75 feet ' apart, to support the roadway, j' The piles ranged from 64 to 172, | feet in length. They were sunk j 50 to 110 feet into the bay bot- j tom in water from 6 to 30 feet, deep. The 235 pile bents were cap ped by 40-ton steel-reinforced ' concrete cross members. The 1 J ] roadway is formed bf 944 pre-, stressed concrete desk slabs, laid!* four abreast. Each slab is 75 feet long and weighs approix- ' 1 mately 65 tons. Liles said harsh winter wcath- 1 er complicated construction on 11 the bridge-tunnel which runs < parallel to the edge of the At- < lantic Ocean. “We would have been in bad I shape if we hadn’t designed spe- i cial machines to get the job out ; of the water.” he added. : The contractors equipped a gi- Get Your Car Set for j^|\ Safe, Smooth Driving!

The new tree farmer has cor rectly harvested the trees which were ready for- cutting, poisoned cull-hardwoods, and is now in the process bf planting the open areas in pine. In carrying out this work, he was advised by James Griffin, former work unit conservationist with the SCS. | “Robert M. Francis,” the for- i ester said, “undoubtedly has a| deep sense of personal satisfac-! tion that he is making proper use of woodlands in his care. In addition, such practices should j bring him the greatest income over the long pull; but he isn’t the only one to gain, for tree farming also means better hunt ing and fishing, better soil con servation and belter watershed] protection. Tree farming, too, is i helping to provide a permanent' supply of wood as an industrial! raw material for over 5,000 pro- i ducts.” I Pitman stated that interested landowners in this area could : contact him for information on how they can become tree farm- j ers. | The Nationwide American Tree I Farm System, sponsored by j American Forest Products Indus- j tries, Inc., of Washington, D. C., | now has a total of 22.048 units; covering 57,571,386 acres of for-1 est land growing wood for man’s; use today .and tomorrow. In this State, where there now are 854 tree farms with a total acre-1 age of 1,503,547, the program is sponsored by the North Carolina Forest Industries Committee. Easter Awakcnjng Is Now Showing At Planetarium 1962 Easter Play De voted to Explaining Why Easter Is Late This Year Commemorating the triumph of life over death, “Easter The Awakening" opened at the More head Planetarium in Chapel Hill last week for the 13th consecu tive season. It will be offered every day in the week, includ ing Palm and Easter Sundays, through April 30.
