A continuing adjustment is life, to changing circumstances; we should yield to the divine guidance of our Heavenly Father, who will lead us toward the destination, of our life. Lead us into all truth, we pray, O God. Opportunity Knocks Members of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge- Tunnel Commission were genial hosts to over 100 representatives of the press, radio and television Tuesday, when the group was es : corted over the span which stands like a 20th century Colossus astride the wide mouth of Chesapeake Bay. A complex combination of trestled road ways, bridges, man-made islands and tunnels, the 17.6-mile long Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel provides a two-lane highway between Cape Charles, on the eastern shore of Vir ginia, and Norfolk. The bridge-tunnel closes the last water gap on the North-South Ocean Hiway and cuts at least 90 minutes from the driving time between the New Jersey Turn pike and Jacksonville, Fla. The ends of the tunnels are anchored on man-made islands constructed in 35 to 45 feet of water. These islands provide a transition from the trestle roadway to the tunnel tubes. Each of the project’s four islands is approxi mately 1,500 feet long and 230 feet wide at the top, providing about 5 l / 2 acres of real es tate at a cost of about five million dollars. The islands were designed to resist the forces of a hurricane with 105 miles-per-hour wind velocity. Scale models in wave tank tests withstood hurricanes of 135 miles-per hour wind velocity. The first complete crossing was made by two young engineers who hiked from Cape Charles to the Virginia Beach terminal in six hours and three minutes—a trip that a mo torist will be able to make in just 25 minutes. Although the bridge-tunnel will have an 18- inch safety walk besides the 28-foot wide two lane roadway, pedestrians will be discouraged from attempting the crossing on foot. Officials of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge- Tunnel Commission are proud of the fact that no tax money was used in the construction of the project and they are optimistic that the cost will be liquidated in due time, pointing out that stock is now selling above par. They are also optimistic about the economic im pact the span will have on a wide area. “We look forward to the many advantages of the bridge-tunnel and the resultant economic growth,” said one official. “However, we do not feel lhat when the project is open the spigot will be turned to at once release a flow of gold.” The speaker emphasized what has been preached by local Chamber of Commerce of ficials and others in Edenton that we mus! not simply wait for the flow of gold to pass our door. Rather, the opportunities will pre sent themselves and those who make the ne cessary preparations fill, of course, be the ones most likely to benefit. All efforts should be made to be able to properly handle the ex pected number of visitors, he in posittion to point out the things that interest the major ity of tourists, as well as industrial potentials and especially treat them in such a manner that Edenton and Chowan County will not soon be forgotten so that many of them will want to come back. . And Why Not? With nothing but the highest brand of praise for members of the cast of “Night of January 16th, 1 ’ sponsored by the Chowan Hospital Auxiliary and presented in the Court House Friday and Saturday nights of last last week and Wednesday , night ofbthis week, there has been an awakening of the amount of local talent in our midst. As the result of this favorable comment, the idea of organizing an Edenton Little Theater has sprouted and an efforth will be made to bring the idea into fruition. On Tuesday night of next week, March 31, a meeting will be held in the Parish House at 8 o’clock, at which time the organization of a Little Theater will be considered. Anyone who is in any way interested in such a local PfjM » l ° 4U te d th j meeting 80 The Herald also adds its congratulations to SSuT^,d W "^S’r' I>l reie o nta«L V ' of £ j & 5.,„ By Buff ■--- - - w 1 —»>' Thanks to the Rev. Walter Isenhour of Taylorsville, N. C., I have an Easter poem for readers of this column. Mr. Isenhour’s poem follows: THAT BLESSED EASTER MORN Perhaps no darkness was sd dense - Than when our Lord hung on the cross; No> dime when Christians were so tense At what appeared to be their loss; No time when hope seemed, oh, so dead. And faith for heaven seemed so small; When hearts were filled with fear and dread As Satan sought to conquer all! * , The foes of Christ and Christian grace Ha.d sent the Savior to the grave, And set a guard about the place— Yes, men who were both strong and brave — To see that no one took Him out And say that He had come to life; That none could lift his voice and shout That He was victor in the strife. In spite of all the foes had done —By killing Christ from Heaven’s throne, And maybe thinking they had won The greatest vict’ry ever known, He rose that blessed Easter mom Triumphant over ev’ry foe. Whose grace lives on to lift, adorn The pilgrim saints where’er they go. Perhaps the birds that Easter morn Were singing sweetly in the trees, To counteract the scoff and scorn That once had floated in the breeze; Perhaps the angels sweetly sang From Heaven’s portals high above. While God removed the awful pang From those who worshiped Christ in love. Oh, blessed morning, filled with cheer. And sweet with peace for saddened souls, It was a time that should be dear As God the Father still unfolds The glories of that Easter day. The vict’ry won near Calvary’s hill, For all who lift their hearts and pray And look for greater vict’ries still! O Everyone who participated in the presenta tion of “Night of January 16th” Friday, Sat urday and Wednesday nights in the Court House did such an outstanding performance that it would be hard, indeed, to single out any particular actor as the “star”. Nothing but favorable comment was heard about the Cho wan Hospital Auxiliary’s play and though it was scheduled for only two performances, a repeat show was presented Wednesday night of this week. Maybe not so much publicity should he given the show for fear some of our best talent might be offered a contract in Hollywood. Anyway, so much talent w-as dis covered that plans are now under way to or ganize a Little Theatre in Edenton. Here’s hoping the idea will come to realization for if this latest show is any indication, we would be in for some fine entertainment. o Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ricks, Sr., are now on a tour of the country and this week a card was received from them which was sent from Flagstaff, Arizona. Jim says the scenery he has seen is breathtaking and the flowers are especially beautiful. Looks like Jim and the Missus are seeing about all there is to see and having a wonderful time doing it. Then 1 get it from the grapevine that Mrs. Ricks played some sort of a game in which she invested two bits and walked off with a $250 watch. Jim says he’s going to travel until his money gives out, but then with the Missus winning a watch, he ought to be able to find a hock shop to help get back home. o Here’s one who was a guest of Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel Commission officials on Tuesday in Norfolk and traveled across Ches apeake Bay on bridges and through tun»els. One cannot but be awed over such an engi neering feat, which some say should be added to the Seven Wonders of the World. Any way, it is a wonderful thing and the span can be crossed from end to end in 25- minutes. The Commission’s officials were a very friend ly and hospitable group, so that the day was limelight—those who participated in directing and planning for the show. There should be little question but that Edenton has a great deal outstanding talent in the way of entertainment. It has been shown time and again ib school plays as Well as other forms of entertainment. This latest perform ance agairf brought out some latent talent which would, without doubt, be a distinct cre dit to a i-ittle Theater, away for providing healthfuF entertainment for the community as well as further developing talent. It is Re ported that proceeds from Wednesday night’s performance will be held in trust for use by the Little Theatre if and when it is organized, which will be at least one_.angk in favor of 1 the proposed organizations It is hoped that a goodly number of metr es ted and talented persons will attend Tues ► day night’s meeting so that no time Win be lost in order to organize a Little Theater THE CHOWAN HERALD.

Urged By Speakers I Continued from Page i, Section 1 when there were only 28 regis tered Republicans. He hlso ) stressed the fact that the over whelming Democratic majority in the eastern part of the state helped materially in preserving a Democratic Governor and 1 keeping the state’ jin the Demo -3 cratic column for the presidency, f In his opening remarks Mr. Crew said he was delighted to ; be in Edenton which he con- I sidered more or less hallowed ' ground. "Here in Eastern North I Carolina,’’ he said, "democracy ■ had its beginning ancTreal birth, , and Eastern Carolina has helped i North Carolina to move ahead.” He commented upon the growth . of the state since the civil jwar. , and what the Democratic party . has accomplished despite handi . caps thrust upon it by the Re publicans. Mr. Crew said the , Democratic party removed the [ shackles from the state’s econo my and, that when education 1 was at a low ebb, Governor Ay , cock raised the standard and put new life in the Democratic ; Party. Mr. Crew paid tribute to the Albemarle’s Governor, J. C. B. Ehringhaus. “Many,” he said, “forgot conditions when he was I elected Governor. He kept schools open and did not shorten terms and many steps forward i were the result of his efforts.” The speaker harked back to i the Republican administration under President Hoover when, , he said, loans were made to large industries to prevent them from : going broke, but the small busi ness man and the farmer were the "forgotten .men”. The de plorable conditions were rem edied to a great extent by Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, he pointed out. He referred to the i administration of Kerr Scott, who was not so popular due -to the large road bond issue. “But,” , he said. “Governor Scott took a great many farmers out of the mud due to the improvement of secondary roads.” i Format Governor Luther Hodg es came in for" some praise who, the speaker said, wi’u go down as one of the greatest Governors for his efforts in connection with industrial growth in the state. Mb Crevv said Governor Ter -1 ry Sanford will have a niche in history for his courage to do ' 'things which were necessary when education was again at a low ebb. “The taxes under his administration were not popu- lar,” he said, “but Democrats were equal to the occasion and will support ways of raising money when it is for the welfare cf the state. What have the Republicans done for Eastern North Carolina' or for educa tion?” he asked. He said .the present Democratic administra- 1 tion has done more for depress* I ed people and that Eastern North Carolina can expect growth and become the bread basket for North Carolina \and maybe the world. “We will make great strides,” he said, “and under a Democratic Governor Northeast ern North Carolina will come in to its own.” In this connection) he said the -mysteries of water is above mysteries of the air and referred to the importance ■ Have You Given To The j Easter Seal Campaign? fStop to think of what your help | does for our crippled children.
