JcruVVV'LrLru^rM-o-Lr>r A LIFT FOR TODAY "Thy word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against Thee.—Psalms 119:11. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis dom, and the sooner we realize that we need guidance, the better for ourselves and our country. Forgive us, O God. for neglect of Thy Holy Word: create within us a yearning for the knowledge of Thy goodness. A Good Investment Where does the money come from in order that boys can be Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, or Explorers? Don’t boys (or their parents) pay their own way? And how about the Scout unit itself? Or the church where the troop meets? How much does the local Scout coun cil spend? And how about the national or ganization : Actually, there are really five members of the Scouting team, each with an essential part to play, and it takes all five to produce quali ty Scouting—a brand of Scouting that pro vides character building, citizenship training, and physical fitness. Right now the local Boy Scout council is preparing for its annual finance campaign which will raise funds for its operating budget and this is the time to set straight exactly who pays for Scouting. The boy comes first, and he pays his an nual national membership fee of 50 cents, buys his own uniform, books, and equipment, and pays dues into his troop treasury. He pays for these things himself, preferably earn ing his own money in accordance with basic Scouting policy that each boy should learn self-reliance and thrift by paying his own way. The Scout unit spends money for camping expeditions, “Good Turn’’ projects, badges, books, craft supplies, and other materials. Its sources of income are the weekly dues that boys pay and approved money-earning efforts such as paper or scrap drives. The institution which is chartered to use the Scouting program gives help in develop ing money-earning projects, but the sponsor that regularly pays all of the Scout unit’s bills defeats a basic purpose of Scout training. The institution does have the obligation of providing a home for the pack, troop, or Ex plorer unit (which becomes a part of its own budget), and it agrees to provide competent, devoted, ‘volunteer leadership. Then, the local Scout council, which is a £roup of volunteers who have organized to meet thg Scouting needs for a given area, pro vides training courses, an equipped and staffed camp, intertroop camporees. Scout circus or expositions, and other events, the organization of new Scout units, accurate records of mem bership and advancement, and a source of Scouting supplies including badges and litera ture. The local Scout council elects officers, ap points operating committees, sets up a council office, employs executives as coaches, and elects an executive board, made up of out standing leaders from every part of the coun cil. who determine how much money it will take to "do this job for a year. This becomes the council budget which must be raised in all of the communities concerned. Finally, the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the fifth member of the team, coordinates and stimulates Scouting on a nationwide basis. It produces the litera ture, including books for boys and for lead ers, training course materials, and materials on program. Men on the national staff and in regional offices over the country form a great service network to work with local council leaders. The money to pay for this national service comes mainly from the regi stration fees that boys and adults pay and from profits from the National Supply Service which are plowed right back into promoting better Scouting for more boys in every com munity in America. Only about one per cent of the local Scout council’s operating budget is paid to the national organization as a char ter fee. Thug,. this five-way “plan” of paying for Scouting has been evolved over 50 years of experience, and its soundness is proved by the fact that it works and that Scouting continues to march ahead. Great leaders add great organizations all over- Anjerica believe strongly in Scouting. It’s now our turn to contribute to our local Scout council so that it may serve the adults and boys of our area who want the benefits \ldeard & Seen Byßuf' I J ** J y A pleasant and sort of profitable letter was received late last week from Tim Parker, chief of the Associated Press Bureau in Charlotte. The letter began: “Congratulations—and on behalf of AP members—thanks for the fine reporting performance on North Carolina’s November 6 general election.” Also in the letter were two checks, one for S2O and an other for $2.50. A note explained that the S2O check was for the first complete county report and $2.50 for completing a county’s count by 10 P. M. The Chowan result was recorded by the AP at 7:53 P. M. It would require too much mathematics for me to figure out who really deserved the AP prize money. For instance, there are six precincts in Cho wan County, with a registrar and two judges of election at each precinct. Then there are two counters of ballots at each precinct. That makes 30 people who contributed directly to Chowan County’s prompt report. Then, Mrs. Lena Leary, too, had her office open for cen tralization of the returns. Besides, Mrs. Mau rice Bunch allowed me to use her office to telephone Chowan’s report to the Associated Press and the United Press which saved the time required to run down to The Herald of fice to telephone. Then, too, the long dis tance operators made prompt connections. Well, so many had a part in my' winning the Associated Press prizes that it takes too bloomin’ much figurin’ to divide it up. o Shortly after this issue of The Herald is printed I’m expecting to shove my legs un der a table at the Rocky Hock Community Center. The occasion will be the annual Home Demonstration Club Husband’s Supper. I’m not afraid to predict that it will be a de licious meal and one which a fellow will have a hard time to decide when to stop eating. o And speaking about eating, the Rotary Club is sponsoring a county-wide 4-H Club dinner Friday night, November 30 in the Edenton armory. At the same time the Rotarians will honor the 4-H peanut growing contestants. The contest is sponsored by the Rotary Club and President Bill Rosevear has planned to serve peanutburgers and peanut meat loaf as the main dish. It’ll be a “first” for many who attend, but if they are as good as Bill says they are, there’ll probably be some more peanutburgers served in this neck of the woods. o And speaking of contests, Edenton’s Lions Club sponsors a 4-H Club corn growing con test. Winners in three groups were announced at Monday night’s meeting of the club and the winner in each group was presented a cash prize of $lO. The three winners were Bill Monds, Fahey Byrum, Jr., and Gene Har rell. This year’s average yield for 14 young sters was 112 bushels per acre. I don’t know much about farming, but that sounds like a pretty good record. The highest record in the contest, which has been running 11 years, was in 1960, when the average was 118.5 bushels per acre. Both the peanut and corn growing contests should prove beneficial for the boys and go a long way to developing farmers who can get the most from the soil. (Os course, the weatherman plays an import ant part sometimes). o Members of the Electric and Water Depart ment have just about finished putting up the street Christmas decorations. So that every thing is almost ready for the Edenton Christ mas parade and party next Thursday after noon, November 29, starting at Hicks Field at 4 o’clock. About the only thing remaining to be done is to get on good terms with the weatherman. Here’s hoping a lot of chil dren will be made happy (and the papas and mamas, too) to see Santa Claus and become infected with the Christmas spirit. Mrs. Anne Jenkins, general chairman, says the final date to enter floats will be Monday, Novem ber 26. The party will be held this year at the corner of Broad and Water streets. o It wasn’t exactly an initiation night at the Eastern Star meeting Monday night, but one of the members tried to do an acrobatic stunt by sliding down the rail in the stairway. Well, maybe that’s an easier way to get down, but the floor is pretty hard at the bottom. o One of the most impressive programs in recent years was held at the Rotary Club meeting last Thursday. The occasion was promoting Jerry Yarborough to the rank of Eagle Scout. The program was in charge of Scoutmaster Jack Habit, an Eagle Scout him self and priding himself on the fact that Jerry of Scouting. The local Boy Scout fund raising campaign will begin next Monday, November 26, with a goal of $2,000. That is not too small an amount to invest in the future citizenship of Edenton and Chowan County. _ _ THE CHOWAN HERALD. ETTNTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1962. bCriJlAl SECURITY |[ — J Questioned Answers George Dietrich, field representative of the Social Security Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday in the Court Room in the Chowan County Court House. Students, housewives and oth ers who plan to make extra cash by working during the pre- Christmas rush are advised to avoid possible delay by getting a social security account number now. Icen Wilson, district manager of the Greenville Social Secur ity office, reminds students who have never had a social security number to apply for one with out delay at their nearest social security office. Housewives should check their social security cards to make sure that the account is in their married name. If the card is still in the maiden name, appli cation should be made to change it, Wilson suggested. was the ninth Scout promoted to Eagle under his direction and the 27 th Eagle Scout in Edenton. Present for the pro gram was Mayor John Mitch ener, District Scout Executive Ronald Brown, Harold Pace and Terry Maul, Tidewater Council officials.

Any person who cannot locate his or her card should take immediate steps to make application for a new one by ob taining a form for this purpose at the nearest social security of fice or post office. The new social security card will have the same number originally .assigned to the worker. The competition for Christ mas jobs is always hectic, Wil son said. Having your social se curity card available will make finding cash-producing Christ mas employment easier. his parents were highly compli mented for the attainment and Mrs. Opal Wood, Jerry’s mo ther, appeared a bit nervous as she placed the Eagle Seoul pin on her son’s coat. It’s a hard clinch to become an Eagle Scout and my hat’s off to all of ’em here in Edenton. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR APPROVES ACTION OF MAYOR MITCHENER Dear Editor: I would like to express my , appreciation to Mayor Mitchener for this forward step in improv- j ing race relations in our county, j ( When we returned from our , Baptist State Convention on j Thursday and read of this move,; I was most gratified. I honestly j believe that the “Good Neighbor | Committee’’ will go far to help! all lines of communication to be | stronger. * Would it not be a wonderful j thing if all our people would j recognize the individual worth of j every human being as they de-1 tide issues of the day? Some j of the people who call them-: selves “Christian” and who speak out the loudest on less important I subjects such as dancing and smoking, are strangely silent when it comes to these far reaching problems of living to gether in one world. Jesus him-1 self has given us Jhe example j to follow—He did not speak on I the less important issues of be- j lavicr—but He did speak in no uncertain terms when he said hat “A” t men are equal in His sight. I believe if we all re nembered that fact, there would be less problems for the future. Again let me commend our Mayor for his move in this di rector and assume him that my own good wishes for the success of the committee are behind it. Sincerely, MARY ALLRED. Heating Oil?
