THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1966 A LIFT FOR TODAY . . . Seek ye me, and ye shall live. — Amos 5:4. Seeking God is the heart of true re ligion, a religion that transforms life, be cause it includes a knowledge of God and makes life what God would have it be for his children. 1 May we seek Thee, our Master and walk in paths of peace and righteousness accord ing to Thy divine will. Always The Optimists The optimists are at it again. Those people, who pontificate at so many micro phones. who set the editorial policy of the slick magazines, and who swing a lot of weight in our State Department, are once again advancing' the theory that Com munist leaders (except possibly a few misguided Red Chinese leaders) are bas ically decent, and if we are nice to' them thev will surely respond in kind. These are the same types who were so optimistic when President Roosevelt sign ed lhe 1933 treaty recognizing the Soviet Union, the biggest breakthrough that in ternational Communism ever made. They were optimistic throughout World War IT. convinced that Good Old Uncle Joe Stalin would he everlastingly grateful to us for having kept Hitler from overrun ning Commie-land. They were optimistjc aboqt the brave new world of the future that was going to result from all those friendly get-togethers at Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam. Their optimism undampened by what hardened up to that time, these perennial optimists waxed enthusiastic about such pepple as Mao Tse-tung, Fidel Castro, Tho and Sukarno. Nothing wai too go&d 1 tor these “agrarian reformers” who, they said, were dedicated to making this a bet ter world for the downtrodden and the exploited. Now our optimists are at it again, and as usual they are pulling out all the prop aganda stops for their latest enthusiasm. That is, their theory that Soviet Russia is becoming more capitalistic every day, and the Red Chinese hate the middle-of the-road Kremlinites because of it. So, a split is developing between them, and we must take advantage of it. This we can do by helping the USSR as much as possible. First and foremost, it is es sential that we trade with them, on their terms of course, much like those we gave Stalin during World War FI when we handed him SI 1 billion in lend-lease. What do we get in return? Well, it's really impolite to ask. but presumably we’ll get a treaty every hit as good as the one FDR signed in 1933, or those vve got at Teheran. Yalta and Potsdam. However, we’ll doubtless get another divi dend.

YOUR 9 ! i i!i iinm ft Hhl AP 1 tH HBUMI ||* J4eaeJ Seen S “By Buff' PSP® If my memory serves me right, the past weekend was just about the coldest I’ve ever experienced in Bdenton—and that goes back to 1923. However, in digging up the copy for “Our Yellowed Pages” column, I note that 30 years ago we also had a real cold snap, when ice coyered Edenton Bay. I remember, too, that at that time a num ber of ice skaters were enjoying themselves skating off from the Court House Green, among whom was the late Herbert Leary. I doubt if that cold spell in 1936 was any colder than last weekend’s wintry blast. Because some houses in Menton were not built for such kind of weather, I heard one fellow, say that^his house was so cold that it was the first time he ever felt “warm” air when openjng, the refrigerator. Then another fellow Said that for every five gal lons of oil he had to buy two. ounces of bourbon to keep warm. And when" there is a sizeable snowfall, one frequently reads about somebody passing out due to a heart attack while shovelling, snow. If that job causes heart attacks, members of Edenton’s Street Department must have mighty good, hearts, for they sure shoveled and moved a lot of snow in order to' clear sidewalks and streets in. Edenton and they did a mighty good job of it. o Maynard Perry no doubt believes in the old saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” At last week’s Rotary meeting he passed a cigar across the table, saying, “I’ll give you a cigar to smoke before you dig out that old pipe of yours.” His idea worked, so maybe I should sit near him at today’s Rotary meeting. o While there has been quite an improve ment at the Edenton Post Office, an outside improvement is a'Jso very noticeable. Be fore the work on the Post Office was com pleted just about every branch of the armed forces had signs lined up along the curb in front of the Post Office. These signs made for more or less of a blind cor ner, but now that the work is completed, this string of signs are placed on ithe park ing lot, where they can be seen just as well and operators of vehicles can see better when entering Broad Street from Church Street. o Maybe it was good that Walter Jones was prevented, due to hazardous highways, from attending last Thursday’s Rotary meeting. It no doubt prevented a lot of explaining. His friends placed an ad in The Herald in which was listed a portion of his record in the General Assembly. In some way a line of type got out of place, so that one of the items read, “Introduced bill *o create medical lewd comic books.” The out-of-place line belonged to the item “Co-sponsored bitl to prohibit sale of lewd comic books.” Just about the first person to catch the error was Philip McMullan, who called and asked me to bring one of , the books to the Rotary meeting. And in* cidentally, if there's ant error in The Her • aid, Philip cari be coun4ed upon to find it. But despite the care taken, errors just cannot be eliminated from newspaper and while not noticed in the day’s work, they appear as big as elephants when it’s too late to make a correction. Dr. John East of Greenville, Republican candidate for Con gress, is scheduled to visit the club today. o~ Edenton Rotarians are sponsoring a pan cakes and sausage supper and breakfast in order to raise extra funds to devote to youth projects in Edenton. Both meals will be served at the Barker House Friday night, February 18, from 5 to 8 o’clock and Sat urday morning, February 19, from 7 to 9 o'clock. Both meals will be a bargain at only one buck and Ed Bass, in charge of the event, hopes people will flock in droves to the Barker House to get a very good meal and at the same time help to raise money to help our youngsters. Every Ro tarisn has a batch .of tickets to sell and the tickets can also be purchased at the two drug stores. —o And speaking about eating, the Chow’an County Scottish Rite Club is scheduled to have a dinner Friday night at Sandy Point Beach. The only trouble with these din ners is that so much .good food is always on hand so that just about everybody eats too ponsai n much. Not everybody can be as “brave” as one of my Statesville lady friends was at the Duke banquet at the recent press institute. A delicious tray of biscuits was passed at the table and, though tempted, she passed ’em up and 1 said, “Just look at those good biscuits which I didn’t eat.” WCDJ 1000 Watts 1260 CARRIES LOCAL STATE AND NATIONAL NEWS 12-landsP.M.

By that time, the ovefall cut will total $4.6 billion. What the saving wil) amount to for any individual family wiH' depend upon the amount it' spends per year for goods and services. In Chowan County, where incomes have been on the rise and spending is at a high level, the saving will be correspondingly hign. On the basis of the latest sales figures for the local area, it will amount to about $57 per famliy, on average, when the cuts are fully in effect. Many Political Continued from Page One years and the remaining three for two-year terms. In the, 1968 and all succeeding elections, three commissioners “will be elected—the two high candidates being seated for four years and the other for two years. '. W. E. Bond is chairman of the county board and mem bers include: J. Clarence Leary, C. M. Evans, C. J. Hollowell and Dallas Jethro, Jr. None of the commission ers have expressed them selves on seeking re-election. The county school board has staggered terms with seats now held by N. J. George and Frank Williams coming up for election. Neither board member has expressed himself about run ning for another term. Such is the case with Coroner Carroll Boyce and Treasurer George Hoskins. Both the coroner and county treasurer are elected for two years. Political observers say with so many county offices com ing up in the May election this should be an interesting Spring. Sam Cox Continued from Page One they give. The young political figure went on to say the words “square” and “rebel” have been, twisted out of context by modern thinking. He said the opposite to a rebel is a conformist. He then said there is a place for a “healthy and helpful non conformity” in our country. Citing again the need for service to mankind, Scott said: “We will not do a good job inTiffe if we fall to look beyond ourselves.” The speaker was introduc ed by Rep. W. J. P. Earn hardt, Jr., of Chowan who said Scott has “added youth, distinction and luster (to the office of lieutenant governor) not before seen.” In presenting the DSA to Cox, Mayor John A. Miteh ener, Jr., cited his outstand ing record of service in the Soil Conservation Service since 1959; his work on the Chowan County Agricultural Workers Council; his work in Edenton Baptist Church; as well as activities of Edenton Jaycees and other community undertakings. Bob Waller, first vice president, introduced past presidents of the local Jay cees—l 2 of whom were pres ent. Eight of the 11 past DSA winners were present and were recognized by Britton Byrum. second vice presi dent. Jack Habit, a past DSA winner and first district vice president, led the Jaycee Creed at the close of the banquet. -—* No style is good that is not fit to be spoken or read aloud with effect. —William Hazlitt. shopping with you tp mind By KATE How ’bout going on a food buying spree at Phthisic’s Super Market?
