As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man.—Chrysostom. Cle-jOtee our hearts of b.liemess and envy, and fill them with love and faith, we pray. Master. “No, Thanks, I’m Driving” With the Fourth of July holiday at hand. North Carolina highway patrolmen will exert every possible effort to help reduce highway accidents. In this connection, a timely article appearing in a recent issue of The Elkin Tribune is re printed: “Prolonged studies and intensive research over many years show quite conclusively that our greatest highway menace isn’t the individual you may think it is. It isn’t the staggering, bleary eyed, incoherent drunk. “No, rather it’s the person who Paul K. Kear ney of the National Safety Council describes as ‘the typical social drinker of acceptable status who rarely, if ever, gets crocked’’ who is ac countable for more tragic a„to accidents than all other causes combined. “That is, by any standard, a very frightening thought. The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators last year told that 'al cohol is the single largest factor in our motor ear accident situation.’ Speaker was Dr. Horace chairman of tne Colorado State Medical Society’s automobile safety committee. “We don’t have to take Dr. Campbell's word for it either. Autopsies performed on drivers fatally injured in traffic accidents grimly con firm his assertion. To cite only a few: “In Montana 55 per cent had sufficient alcohol in the blood to impair the driving of the aver age individual. In Nassau County, New York, it was 50 per cent, in Grand Rapids. Michigan, it was 60 per cent, and in Baltimore, Maryland, the percentage was 52. There were 69 drivers killed in New York City in 1957 —and medical analysis showed 38 of them had been drinking Just prior to their demise. “With the highway death toll continually ris ing—and little indication, unfortunately, that the incidence of traffic accidents will lower—'No, "iks. I’m driving’ needn't be said apologetic ally. Next time we’re prone to imbibe to the point where oir driving abilities are hampered, let's ponder this: • “In November of 1958. a Detioit. Michigan, driver snuffed out seven lives. Investigating officers in their reconstruction of the tragedy from the accounts of eye witnesses, reported he was driving the wrong way on a divided four .lane super-highway in Ohio when he smashed Head-on into another vehicle while traveling at a high rate of speed. "The driver was reliably reported to have had ‘only a few for the road’.’’ No Diluted Patriotism Endurance is a test of greatness. For our na tion, the tesf began ;86 years ago in Philadel phia when 56 American patriots signed the Dec laration of Independence. From that historic moment on. the bells of freedom in our land have rang loud and clear—a triumphant message to a troubled world that America is indeed a beacon of hope for oppressed, freedom-loving people. On the anniversary of that auspicious occasion we should give humble thanks to God for the Spiritual heritage won by these men of destinv. Our freedom, prosperity and stature as a world power are attestations to their far-reaching ef forts. We should rededicate ourselves to the con stant support and eternal preservation of the self evident truths which were so dear to them. Unfortunately, in some circles todav the apolo getic approach to patriotism is becoming fash ionable. The faith and principles which with stood the ravages of wars, subversion and crime over the years are almost passe. Any exhibi tions of national pride and reverence for the American flag are merely by rote. The burning Classified Advertisement GUMS BLEED, tender, receded. See dentist. Buy soothing!

JunaSltfc One fishing contest entry blank had an affin ity to another piece of paper one humid day the first of May. It turned up again last week and brings about a correction as to the final winner of the roek fish division of the Chamber of Com merce fishing, contest. The actual winner, Jimmy Byrum of Tyner with a 24-inch 7Vi -pound entry caught while trolling in the Chowan River with a Pet spoon. This displaces the previous an nounced winner, Alva Bunch with a 6-pound lish. We are sure that Mr. Byrum will be pleased with this correction and Alva Bunch vice versa. Good luck to both contestants in the next fishing contest. Comment in this column last week regarding lightning striking the dome at Providence Bap tist Church apparently was interpreted more or less derogatory in character on the part of some readers. This surely was not the intention of the writer. The church, to be sure, has had a great deal of misfortune but despite this turn of events, the congregation has met the situations squarely in the face and is to be complimented upon the progress made in dealing with this misfortune. The latest damage apparently is not as great as the writer believed, and I’m in formed that the damage is totally covered by insurance. A rather unusual sight in Edenton can be seen at the home of Mrs. M. L. Flynn. About 12 years ago Mrs. Flynn's mother. Mrs. N. L. Ward, sent her a palm tree from Orlande., Florida, in a shoe box. Mrs. Flynn planted the tree, whieh thrived and is now showing its first bloom. Mrs. Flynn says it’s unusual to see a palm tree bloom ing in this neck of the woods, and-she invites people to drive by her home and look at it. Wonder if the tree will produce any bocoanuts. Sgt. H. J. Lupton of the Edenton Po'ice De partment has a police dog, “Shep,” which did a nice piece of police work the other day. Robert Sutton, 4-year-old son of Willie Sutton, who lives on West Carteret Street, suddenly disap peared from his home about 6:30 P. M. and de spite a full-scale search, efforts to find the child failed. About 10 o'clock Willie went to the po lice station to seek help from the police. S«?t. Lupton was on duty and decided to enlist the help of “Shep.” Going to the Sutton home, it was but a very short time until “Shep” trailed the boy to a vacant lot, where he was found last asleep. It’s not the first piece of police work “Shep” has done and Sgt. Lupton is very proud of the dog. And who owns a good dog of which he is not fond and proud of? But anybody own ing a “good” dog should list 1 it for taxes and have it vaccinated against rabies. It would be very interesting to know just exactly how many dogs are in Edenton and Chowan County and then check to see how many are listed on the ’ax books. The idea of a dog warden in Chowan Countv is a very good one and it should be started before somebody contracts a case of rabies or some farmer realizes a severe loss due to a pack of dogs roaming around like wolves md killing valuable livestock. There’s just too many dogs running loose which would be better F or the community to have ’em penned up in a log pound and humanely disposed of if the owners do not want to claim ’em, have ’em Teated against rabies and list ’em on the tax books. If some dogs would be picked up by a toe warden, maybe the owner could be found more easily. A brief letter arrived this week from Mrs. L. E. Davenport who. with her family, is enjoying a trip in the Northwest. Said Mrs. Davenport. "We are enjoying our trip. The World Fair is wonderful. But do we miss Edenton and all our friends? Don’t realize how much The Chowan Herald means until you can’t get it. We'll be looking forward to catching up on news in it when we return. Tell everyone hello and we’ll see them around July 20.” Thev’s not staying ■pid” long enough for me to send ’em a paper. Going to press earlv this week in order to provide a Fourth of July holiday for The Herald crew, some news items arrived too late for this i=s u e. Among ’em was Frank Roberts’ column. Then a piece on Bill Billings by Bill Goodwin was crowded out. We’re sorry! zeal of patriotism which was in the hearts of the Men of ’76 in many instances has turned to sel fishness. apathy and indulgence. There were no diluted patriotism at Independ ence Hall- nor were there any combat “turn coats.” _at Valley Forge.' These are latter-day by products of decadent thinking. They represent g compromise of the moral and spiritual issues so vital to our survival. There can be no compro mise where the cause of freedom is concerned. As patriotic Americans, let us not fail the test of greatness. On the contrary, let us assure that this nation, under God, shall remain free, and that our government of the people, by the people and for the people will endure.
