A LIFT FOR TODAY
i
This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with
them.—Luke 15:2.
Christ commands us. his followers, to look
upon all men as our friends, ministering in his
name, because they are his friends. When the
love of Christ rules in our hearts we do not
judge our fellowmen on a differential basis, but
a fraternal one.
Make u* servants of love, and let us not think
of ourselves more highly than we ought to think,
O God. --
An Irreparable Loss
Words have been arranged in every conceiv
c' le way all over the world to express the
d*ep sorrow at the loss of President John F.
I'ennedv. the victim of an assassin’s bullet on
Friday. In his death not only the United
S ates but the world as a whole has suffered
an irreparable loss. Not all of us have en
tirely agreed with some of his policies, but
there can be no argument that he has not de
voted his entire being to what he thought was
best for his nation and all mankind. He was
a man of strong conviction and possessed the
courage to carry out these convictions even if
criticized from both sides and behind.
President Kennedy’s life was suddenly
snuffed out in the prime of manhood and in
his short tenure of office won for himself the
plaudits of millions of people as being a great
President. Had his life not been so dastardly
wiped out, he would have undoubtedly led
this country to greater heights and the leader
in the family of nations. Fie had a passionate
concern for people all over the world and was
courageous in his attack on tyranny, bigotry
and oppression. He devoted his whole being
to human understanding and world peace and
to the end he remained undaunted and un
afraid.
In his untimely death the entire world was
stunned and seldom if ever have so many peo
ple mourned and paid their respects to a man
who met such a tragic end.
This catastrophe, if nothing else, should
arouse the American people and especially
those in high and important positions to be
more determined to emulate the characteristics
of John F. Kennedy and work just as hard
and faithfully to the end that America will
continue to be great.
Edentonians and North Carolinians joined
the rest of the nation and world in mourning
the untimely passing of Mr. Kennedy. It was
a severe shock, indeed, and the many tributes
paid to him should be some source of satis
faction to the bereaved family, for millions
and millions of people all over the world join
in sharing their sorrow and extending their
sympathy.
) “Blessings Os The Soil”
l The Herald is indebted to Samuel Cox. lo-
J cal Soil Conservationist, for the following com
f ments which are appropriate at this Thanks
giving time:
This year our soils have given us a good
harvest. We often lose sight of the fact that
our surplus food and fiber is indeed a bless
ing. All too often we hear complaints from
all segments of our society. It is hard to ap
preciate the tragedy of too little when you
have always had more than enough.
Almost nowhere else on the face of the
earth would our bountiful production of the
soil be considered a burden rather than a bless
ing. It is said that two-thirds of the peonle
in the world go to sleep hungry every night.
Some of these people are not so far away
either. With these thoughts in mind, let us
look with humble hearts and Ire thankful for
the bountiful production our good earth has
given us this year.
Throughout the nation this must be regard
ed as a good crop year. Our soil has again
been fruitful. Both farm and city people are
blessed and will share in this fruitfulness of
the land. When you eat lunch today and
everyday be thoughtful and thankful for the
bounty of our earth. Remember you will en
joy plenty only so long as soil is used Wisely
and treated properly. Soil and water conser
vation is important to you.

The Rev. Walter E. Isenhour of Taylors
ville has again sent me a timely poem. Here
Us:
LET’S BE THANKFUL
Let’s be thankful, friends and neighbors,
And all people of the earth.
For the crowning of our labors
With the blessings of true worth;
Thankful for refreshing showers
That God sends upon the soil;
For the sunshine and the flowers,
And for strength to work and toil.
Let’s be thankful that we’re living
And can go from place to place;
That to us the Lord is giving
Much of His sweet love and grace;.
Thankful that we’re not defeated
As for right we take our stand;
Thankful for the way we’re treated
By good people of the land.
Let’s be thankful that our Master
Has prevented things to come
That to us would mean disaster.
Wars they added as a sum;
Thankful for the health He’s given
Each of us from day to day;
Thankful we can look to heaven
As we kneel or walk and pray.
Let’s be thankful that “old glory”
Still waves over you and me,
That we yet can tell the story
Os the braves who made us free;
Thankful we are still permitted
To possess the homes we love;
Thankful that the f.ord has fitted
Men to preach on things above.
Let’s be thankful for our training
In the truth that saves from ills.
Even though the wrong is staining
And is doing much that kills;
But above the strife of nations
God still rules upon His throne.
And protects Ffis vast creations
And the saints He calls His own.

business are as follows:

Pat Flanmn-an has been in Edenton now for
some Mme. but just the same he “got “lost”
Thursday' nieht. Pat was master of cere
monies at a barbecue supper given for the
EderOrtn A-os. which was held at the VFW
building. The boys gathered at the VFW
building, as well as invited guests and with
appetites considerably whetted the time for
serving the barbecue had passed, but Pat was
not there to start things. A search was begun
and Pat was found to be at the American
Legion building all hv himself and wondering
why the Aces had not shown up.* He had
rigged up some of his radio equipment to pro
vide musk; for the bovs during the evening,
but had to rush to the VFW building ht order
to carry on as MC, so that boys had no music
with their meal. However, the boys thorough
ly enjoyed the barbecue and remarks made by
those who were invited. The rnfly trouble was
that in waiting so long to be fed, ntoSt Os the
boys had to return to the counter to get an
other helping, which suited Joe Swanner, who
furnished the barbecue.

And speaking about the Eden
ton Tea Party Chapter, it de
serves a great deal of credit
for having the Iredell house,
one of Edenton’s «how places.
In the first place, had it not
been for the local DAR Chap
ter, the chances are that the
Iredell house Would have gone!
the way of the Edenton Tea
Party house probably torn
down. The Iredell house is
now one of the places of which
Edentonians may well be
proud. And just recently con
siderable work has been and
is being done to improve the
beauty and attractiveness of
this historic building. Credit
for a lot of these improve
ments rightfully belong to Mrs.
J. L. Pettus and Mrs. W. I.
Hart. These two ladies have
spent a lot of time and effort
in connection with beautifying
the Iredell property and have
worked like Trojans in seeing
that vanious things have been
done to make the house and
grounds more attractive. When
any group has as interested
and energetic members as these
two ladies, something will get
done. They are to be compli
mented upon their accomplish
ments in making the Iredell
house one of Edenton’s show
places.

An enjoyable event took
place Wednesday of last week
when tlfe bridge over Oregon
Inlet was opened. The bridge
very appropriately is named |
the “Herbert C. Bonner,
Bridge” in honor of our Con-j
gressman. Herbert Bonner,
who had no little to do with
its consummation. A number
of Edenton people attended the
bridge opening and a few took
part. The invocation was by
the Rev. George B. Holmes,
Gilliam Wood, district high
way commissioner, was mas
ter of ceremonies and Mrs.
Wood joined Mrs. Merrell
Evans of Ahoskie in cutting
the ribbon which officially
opened the bridge for traffic.
The bridge closes up another
gap which for years handicap
ped travelers in visiting the
Outer Banks and will, with
out doubt, attract many more
visitors to the area.

Points Out Danger of
Escaping Monoxide
Gas Fumes
An insidious killer which caus
es more deaths each year than
any other poison usually strikes
during the, winter season, says
Dr. Ed Bond, chairman of the
Edenton Chamber of Commerce
Health & Safety Committee.
“When you are driving during
cold weather and develop a
headache, bad vision or feel ill
for no apparent reason, carbon
monoxide may well be the rea
son,” said Dr. Bond. "This pois
on usually strikes during the
winter season when most of us
drive with windows rolled tight
and heaters blasting away.”
Dr. Bond suggests a few “life
and death" rules that will foil
the “silent killer”.
Have the exhaust system on
your car thoroughly checked.
Always drive with one window
open an inch or so, no matter
how cold the weather. Never
run or start your engine in an
enclosed garage. You can’t see,
'smell, or hear carbon monoxide.
It may develop any time, any
where. All motorists should take
proper precautions at all times.
MEETING CALLED OFF
Edenton’s Rotary Club has
called off its meeting for Thurs
day, due to the Thanksgiving
holiday. The regular meeting
will be held Thursday of next

Making Money By
Sou Conservation
H. R. Peele, in the Chowan
Community, has just completed j
constructing and seeding several
grassed waterways and. two ter
races. Mr. Peele constructed the
waterways and. terraces on slop
ing land to control erosion. The
terraces were constructed in
such a manner.that all the rows
will run parallel and there Will
not be any short rows.
In addition to conserving soil,
the practices will . bring about
increased yields due to better
stands, increased organic mat
ter and improved top soil. A
grassed waterway is simply a
shaped low area for water to
run across that is seeded down
to grass to prevent it from
washing. This work was plan
ned by Mr. Peele in his soil' and
water conservation plan' along
with other needed practices.
According to the Chowan
County Conservation Needs In
ventory, there is about 400 acres
of grassed waterways and 40,
miles of terraces needed in Cho
wan County now.
