A LIFT FOR TODAY
Ye have not chosen me; I have chosen you.—
John 15:16.
Life is a choice upon which the future depends.
The most important of all is to choose Jesus
Christ as our personal Saviour.
O God, give us vision and wisdom to accept
new opportunities for service to Thee.

A production control program for flue
cured tobacco will continue for at least three
years as a result of the December 15 referen
dum.
At the same time, farmers approved cotton
quotas for 1965 and voted to assess them
selves for promotion of peanuts and flue-cured
tobacco.
What this means is that the economy of
North Carolina will not be affected by over
production of the primary money crop—flue
cured tobacco. Too, the assessment will in
sure an aggressive promotion of the use ot to
bacco in foreign countries.
Voting on all proposals in the referendum
ran about 98 per cent in favor of them all. A
two-thirds majority was needed but a heavy
favorable vote was sought in Xorth Carolina
to offset some attitudes in other states where
the impact of flue-cured tobacco in particular
is not such a factor on the overall economy.
The peanut vote means that growers will as
sess themselves two cents per 100 pounds of
peanuts sold to support the X. C. Peanut
Growers Association. This is a professional
organization designed to promote the use of
peanuts as well as crop research. One of the
things this group has done is come up with
a new variety of peanuts. Also, they have
sold airline companies on the idea of serving
peanuts on flights.
The impact of flue-cured tobacco on Xorth
Carolina’s economy is great. Whether or not
the use of tobacco to smoke is a health hazard
is not the question to he answered. That will
probably never be resolved. Xonetheless.
while they argue at the corner store and in the
courts, we need not have an economic slump
due to over-production.
The proposals in the referendum were clear.
They were well discussed throughout the area
by Farm Bureau and other farm leaders.
It is obvious that they were not alarmists
They gave the farmers the facts and the rura’
folk reacted accordingly. And they took the
only logical road —dusty as it sometimes may
seem. c-
On Wrong Side Os Fence
Out on the West Coast they have a left
wing Xew Yorker trying to run the big Uni
versity of California. About the only success
this young punk has enjoyed thus far is na
tional publicity.
The TV cameras have been grinding away
out in Berkeley since Mario Savio. a 22-year
old philosophy major, started a Free Speech 1
Movement to protest a university rule.
Newscasters on a national scale are making?
much to do over Savio’s protest of a policy -
prohibiting the solicitation of funds and re
cruitment of volunteers pn the campus for off
campus activities. What they haven’t said
too much about is that Savio has been able'
to muster up only 3 per cent of the student ?
body of 27,500 for his cause and a group of!
nonstudent agitators. ]|
The thing that is' alarming to us is that aj
majority of the faculty, about 8-to-l, favor'
Savio’s protest.
It is about time Savio, who tried two other:
colleges before heading west, and faculty!
members in sympathy with him, moved over,
to make room for those more concerned with:
things relative to getting an education.
You could put the whole lot together andt
still not have a sufficient number to have a;
really successful panty raid.
Music And You j
Good music, like good painting or good?
| writing, is always rewarding if it is under-:
Mood. That is not to say that everyone will I
like all good music, but practically everyone;
wffl like some form of good musk, otoce he
fe educated to enjoy It and exposed to it.
And “good” music is not just opera. M*eh
music is good «nd it does not have
to be highbrow-longhair stuff to be good.
Most of us underestimate the power of
yp*k. Musk can soothe the mind and soul.

Christmas greeting cards are already arriv
ing and one of my first was from DeWitt
Cooper of Richmond, Indiana. “Coop” some
years ago stopped over in Edenton on an ex
tended trip covering the eastern part of the
United States and fell in love with Edenton
so much so that he subscribed and still does
subscribe to The Herald so that he can keep
up with what is going on. That he is a thor
ough reader of the paper is reflected in his
note in the Christmas card. Said Coop: “I
think Mrs. Bufflap should be permitted to
have her picture at the head of her column
in The Herald, as her column is as interesting
as yours. That is about the only way I will
get to see her unless I run down there again
some time.” Then a note to the Missus
reads: “The above ought to hold him for a
while. If you would refuse to go fishing with
him until you get the picture cut made, you
wouldn't have to wait very long.” Anyway,
it was very nice to hear from an Indiana
Hoosier who thinks Edenton is a wonderful
place.
o
And speaking about Christmas cards, an
unusual one arrived at home. Wednesday
morning. It was addressed to our dog
“Spike”, and while I have not had time to
read it to him, it came from a friend or foe
in Elizabeth City.
o
Christmas parties seem to be the order of
the day with so many scheduled that it is hard
to keep track of .them all. Those that have
been held and those still to be held were and
will be very pleasant affairs. However, here’s
betting a good stogie that none will have
more and better food than was served at the
Scottish Rite Club party Friday night down
at Kermit Layton’s Sandy Point Beach. Wives
of members prepared the meal, which includ
ed good old country ham, turkey and about
a dozen other good things to go with it.
Maybe I spoke too soon, though, for the Byrd
Home Demonstration Club held a Christmas
party Wednesday night at the home of Mrs.
Mattie Speight to which husbands were invit
ed. Os course, this writing is several hours
before the party, but I’ve been to those af
fairs before and there’s always the best kinds
of food on hand and so much of it that a fel
low hardly knows when to quit.
o
Members of the Center Hill-Cross Roads
Fire Department plan to hold a turkey shoot \
Saturday, December 19, from 1 to 9 P. M. i
Might be a good way to get a turkey for '
Christmas. The ladies will be selling hot
coffee and sandwiches while the shooters are
‘esting their aim.
o
As stated before, the Edenton street Christ
mas decorations are very attractive this year.
And to add to the attractiveness is a large tree
at the foot of Broad Street. It might be a
good idea to give a prize to the person guess
ing how many colored lights adorn the tree —
there’s a lot of ’em.
o-
The Herald crew has been very much rush
ed the past week or so, and will have their
hands full the first part of next week. Due
o the Christmas holidays, we will print the
•ast section of the paper Tuesday in order to
r et a day or two extra time off for the holi
days. So, because of printing a day earlier,
it will be necessary to have advertising and
newsarticles in the office a day earlier. Mon
day will be the deadline—but we can’t han
dle everything on Monday. Let us have your
news as early as possible.
o
Anybody want some extra exercise over the
holidays? Jim Kinion says the John A.
Holmes High School gymnasium will be open
during the holidays for those who don’t get
enough exercise working or running around
with Christmas shopping, etc.

Free parking areas have been provided back

Edenton Aceiets
StiH Undefeated
Claim Long End of
Score In Three Con
tests Played
The Edenton Aceiets remained
undefeated in three games, win
ning two games in the past week
on their .home court.
Tlie Aceiets were very un
ladylike to the Williamston girls
on Tuesday night of last week,
whipping them soundly 42-17.
Every member of the team
played and eight of them added
figures to the scoreboard.
The Aceiets led 28-11 at the
half and held Williamston score
less during the third period.
Sharp-shooting sophomore Linda
Hollowell was the high scorer
with 12 points. Miriam Willis
scored 11, Brenda Stallings 9.
Arlene Fry 3, Ann Harrell 3.
Sanfra Ange 2, Brenda Cuthrell
1 and Helen Rogerson 1. Becky
Williford and Anna Perry were
defensive standouts.
The Aceiets kept their record
spotless by defeating Bertie 30-
23. The game was pretty even
until the third period, when the
Aceiets added 7 points and the
Bertie girls were held to one.
The Edenton girls hit on 66% of
their free throws; the forwards
missed only 2 out of 16. .
Miriam Willis kept up her
steady output with 9 points to
lead the team. Sanfra Ange and
Linda Hollowell scored 8 and
Brenda Stallings had 5.
The Aceiets will meet the
Plymouth girls here next Fri
day night. 1

I. i
Edenton Police Department is
expanding its escort service
during the holidays.
Police Chief James H. Griffin
said 1 during the holiday shopping

Chief Griffin said a local po
liceman will always be avail
able to assist Edenton merch
ants in any way possible, not
only during the holiday shop
ping rush but any time during
the year.
Also, the chief cautioned mer
chants to keep a keen eye out
for shoplifters. Thus far there
have been no arrest for shop
lifting,--but if merchants are lax
•the looters will take items from
the stores.
Shoplifters are known to
flourish during th.e holiday sea
son when the stores are crowd-: 1
