God never forsakes those who trust him; he richly rewards their faith. Prayer is the stair way to heaven, and whoever will may climb. Our loving Father, preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties that hide from us Thy immortal love. It is an unfortunate fact that many words of wide connotation are so often used, abused, and misused as to lose their basic meaning in the minds of great numbers of people. Two of those words are “capitalism” and “social ism”. Ask the next man you meet for a defi nition of them, and it will be a minor miracle if you get a clear answer. Henry Halitt. in one of his Newsweek mag azine columns.- says something that should i be far better understood than it actually is. To quote: “Capitalism is merely the name for a system of economic liberty. Under it civil and political liberties flourish and are secure. Under a complete or nearly complete socialism neither economic nor political liberty can exist. Freedom is indivisible. How can there be freedom of press, speech, or assem bly when the government owns all the news papers, presses, and assembly halls? As Leon Trotsky (who knew) wrote in 1937: ‘ln a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation: The old principle: Who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one: Who does not obey shall not eat'. One phrase alone, taken from this quota tion. sums up the story: “Freedom is indi visible”. Without economic freedom there can be no other basic freedom. This is why capitalism, whatever its faults, has done more good for more people, tangibly and intangibly, than any other system yet devised by man. The Cuban Cancer An extraordinarily alarming report comes from Robert S. Allen—a leading writer on na tional and international affairs. His first paragraph says: “Soviet technicians have be gun installing 'electronic counter equipment’ in Cuba that can he used to interfere with U. S. missiles launched from our major test center at Cape Canaveral, Florida.” This equipment. Mr. Allen goes on. con sists of jamming and tracking devices. Soviet technicians have been sent to Cuba to put them into operation. They also can be used to interfere with our aircraft guidance control and ground-air communication systems. The situation is so serious that President Kennedy sent his chief military advisor. Gen eral Maxwell Taylor, an officer of the high est abilities, to the Caribbean to find out the facts and to report upon their significance. It is certainly obvious that no move of such ominous importance could have been made except upon the authority of the highest Sov iet officials—primarily, Premier Khrushchev. And. if General Taylor learns what Mr. Allen obviously expects him to learn, this means that the Soviet Union, of which Castro is sim ply a willing pawn, is determined to establish an effective military base some 90 miles from U. S. territory. The cancerous Cuba situa tion may force the government into actions of the mest far-reaching portent. Invest In America A million new jobs a year call for at least $17,000 new capital investment per job—sev enteen billion dollars per year. And at least another twenty billion dollars a year is need ed to maintain the plants and machinery pro viding the 67 million jobs we now enjoy. Where is the money coming from? The answer: From the same source of capital that has provided it in the past—sav ings in the form of retained earnings of busi ness enterprises and the savings of the Amer ican people —your savings. You jdon’t have to own stock in a corpora tion to be a capitalist—an investor. That’s wily one way. If you put your savings in a bank or savings and loan institution, or take put life insurance or buy real estate, your money—your savings—is put by bus iness and industry to develop jobs, produc tion of goods and services. That’s what in vestment means—putting money to Work. Let’s voluntarily and wisely invest in America: our funds and our faith in our fu ture. We are all capitalists—investors of our savings. blear J. Os Seen By Bu (f Bill Sharpe has a very interesting article in September 1 issue of’The State. The item, entitled “Baseball Memories”, was written by Dr. Thomas J. Henchey of West Palm Beach, Fla., and goes like this: “I got a great kick out of Fred Kelly’s ar ticles on baseball in 'North Carolina around the turn of the century in ‘Yours truly’ of April 28. May 12 and June 23. I played baseball in Edenton over fifty years ago. I first went to Edenton in 1909 to take the place of a pitcher by the name of ‘Goochie’ Ferguson (r), who had broken his arm while pitching. In later years ‘Believe it or not’ Bob Ripley told me the same thing happened to him. thus ending his baseball career. “They had a league then composed of Eliz abeth City, Edenton and Belhaven. Belhaven and Edenton were tied for first place the day I arrived. I shut out Belhaven in my first game. A man by the name of Bond called me into his office, ‘The Adams Express Com pany’, and told me three men had decided to give five dollars each to any pitcher who i pitched a shut-out game. I collected fifteen dollars my first day there. This was a lot of money then. “That night I was invited to dinner at the home of Judge Bond and they insisted on my j returning for breakfast next morning. The family and I became great friends. “We had several hometown boys on the team. Some that I remember were William Capehart and second baseman Richards or Richardson, Richard Dickson Sessoms, a pitcher, and Tom Hoskins, catcher. Our principal catcher was a big redhead from Norfolk by the name of Dutton, who could hit the ball a country mile. In those days we were given a hat every time we connected for a three-bagger and a pair of shoes whenever we made a home run. Dutton kept the whole club supplied with hats and shoes. “After our first day there everyone knew us by our first name. We played four league games each week. All of the stores closed on the afternoons we played. We played other towns outside the league on our off days. “It was on one of these trips that I first met Dave Robertson who in later years be came a big leaguer with the New York Giants and Chicago Cubs. Onfe day we went by boat up the river to Windsor about forty miles. In the return game in Edenton he started to pitch against us, but was so wild they had to take him out after two or three innings. Later he developed into one of the best pitch ers I have ever seen. In 1910 he pitched a no-hit game against me in Edenton. In 1911 he was pitching for Elizabeth City in the Tidewater League and led the League in pitching and hitting. John McGraw of the Giants bought him then, but allowed him to play football for A. & M. (now N. C. State) that fall. He injured his shoulder there and never pitched again, but he was so good that McGraw kept him for the outfield. The first year they sent him to the Southern League. He led the League in hitting and in home runs. “I will never forget the hospitality of the Edenton people if I live to be a hundred. It was unbelievable by today’s standards. The ball players were not permitted to spend even a five cent piece. We were invited to all the social activities, but were not allowed to con tribute to the cost. We used to have wonder ful moonlight parties on the old Mackey’s berry. We had music and refreshments on the top deck. None of the young men who were home from school worked during the summer. They formed a Club and had yacht ing parties in the daytime and danced at night. It was just a great big party all summer.” o Blair Gibson was sort of puzzled at last week’s Rotary meeting when President Hill Rosevear requested him to sit at the end of a table, several chairs away from the nearest Rotarian. He looked sort of lonesome all by himself, so Izzy Campen asked him why he didn’t join the crowd. “Well, I don’t know,” said Blair, “President Bill asked me to sit here. I just don’t know—l ought to be able to sit next to somebody for I’m sure I took a bath before going to work this morning.” The mystery cleared up later, however, when President Bill wanted Blair at the end of the table to receive some cards which were dis tributed among the Rotarians. o And speaking about the Rotary meetings, the ladies who serve the dinner had the Ro tarians guessing week before last. On the plate was something very few knew what it was, so one of the inquisitive Rotarians asked a waitress what he was eating. “That,” said the waitress, “is flounder stuffed with crab meat.” And scarcely before she had the words out of her mouth, and even before he -put a fork into it, Hiram Mayo chirped out, “Well, it surely is very good.” But the re mark wily brought from the waitress “thank THE CHOW AW HERALD.

They Iropped their first game to Loanoke Rapids and had a est last Friday night, so they should be ready for a tough battle. The Green Wave lost a game to Robersonville and tied 6-6 last Friday night with Scotland Neck. Bpfii aggre gations will be out fQr a taste of victory, so a thrilling game of football should he on the menu. Yep, the band and cheerleaders will be on the job. too, and here’s hoping they’ll have something to play and cheer about. o One of the most welcome persons ever to return to Cho wan County is Miss Catherine Aman. She resigned as assist ant home agent in Chowan County to accept the position of home . agent in Brunswick County, but recently returned. She is now guidance counsellor at Chowan High School and while not primarily engaged in mingling with home demon llt§§sßijr k NATION’S LARGEST—RepIica of France’s Grotto of Lourdes is one of the features of the largest outdoor shrine in the U.S., Our Lady of the Snows, in Belleville, 111. stration club women and 4-H groups, most of them are very happy that she is again back in Chowan County. o Right much concern has been aroused as the result of he appearance of jequirity lead necklaces in Edenton.

The way I get it, the Rev. and Mrs. Ralph Harrell, missionaries in Africa, were out doing some mission work recently and when they re turned all of their clothing was stolen from their home. The Harrell’s some time back were visiting relatives and friends in Chowan County while on a furlough. There’s only one consolation and that is that it is not so cold in Africa, but even then they cannot run around in their birthday clothes.
