God’s love is boundless and ageless—without be ginning andSwithout end. Our Father, unite us with Thy Spirit that we may true followers, loving and understanding our fellowmen. —— Filling Pandora’s Box We suspect that one of the reasons some far-fetche<j projects come out of the US Office of Economic Opportunity (that is, Poverty War HQ) is because so many farout proposals go in. Probably an outsider examining the pending file in that office would be doubled over with laughter, at ; least until he remembered who’s going to pay for such of the pro posals as approved. There’s a:proposal. for example, asking a grant of $150,000 to start a weekly newspaper in Washington, D. C. The $150,00 is only to get it started. After a few weeks the paper is supposed to be come a “self-supporting, non-profit com munity enterprise,” with a nine-member editorial board (for an eight-page tabloid) and a host of journalist trainees to gather news to fill its pages. | These apprentice newsmen will seek scoops on such things as ’‘the latest eviction” in the community and where to get free advice on legal problems or birth control. And theii product will cost the reader only a nickel a copy. But why should anyone pay a nickel for a newspaper when he can get four bucks an hour for listening to a lecture? That’s a proposal made by the Human Relations Commission, in Newark, New Jersey. We figure that could cause such an exodus from Washington as to leave that non-profit weekly newspaper without any reporters, let alone any readers. The Newark proposal is for a 55-hour course of lectures, discussions and field trips designed to improve understanding be tween police officers and poor with an enrollment of about 1,200 of each. A staff of 22 persons, headed by a “group dynamics specialist.” would run the show —for about $200,000 annually. We think there’s an inequity in this one, however, since people dnlv get $4 an hour for lis tening while lecturers and discussion lead ers may get as high as $6 an hour for talking. If anything, those pay scales should be reversed. That, we suppose, could be handled at Poverty HQ as a condition for approving the project. This all prompts us to offer our own proposal to, the OEO. Let them gather all they can of the weird proposals which flood into Washington, place them neatlv in a strong steel box, close it, lock it, give us the key and throw away the box. Even Pandora’s box might have been a good thing if someone had just nailed down the li<f.; Your Dollar’s Value “How Real Is Inflation In The U. S.?” That is the title of an article in the January 24 issue of U. S. News & World Report. bLis, accompanied by a full-page chart whiA, makes informative, and woe ful. reading^ Assume That the 1955 dollar was worth 100 centspjyOn that basis, your present food dolla&f lias lost 15 cents in value; your rentgdollar 13 cents; your home building dplar 20 cents; your college-cost dollar 24 sents; your auto repair dollar 20 cents, jjgao it goes, down the list of the use and buy. All in magazine says ,your cost of living dollar has lost 15 cents in its buying power over a mere 10-year pe riod. It dqpggi’f-tftke an expert in higher mathematics to figure out what will hap pen if thi£., trend continues —or, worse, - And acccjerite it undoubtedly '"will if the creation ot Huge deficits continues. The big domestic "question now is whether or not Congress will take steps to pro tect what is left of your dollar’s value, by really applying a heavy blue pencil to nonessential siding. , WkUeard & Seen MB “By Bu ff' Just about the happiest and proudest man in town Friday was Billy Gardner, when he became the pappy of a 7-pound son. Billy is the daddy of two fine girls, but he just wanted a son and so sure was he that his wish would come true that he made quite a few wagers—and he won. Then, too, he was passing out cigars galore and when he dropped in The Herald office he handed me three. “I didn’t ‘pay up’ for the two girls,” he said, “but now that I have a son, I’ll pay up to date.”- Two other interesting visitors in The Herald office last week were Mr. and Mrs. Martin Lash. They are the parents of Father Joseph L. Lash, pastor of St. Ann’s Catholic Church. They live in Cleveland, Ohio, but like Edenton so well that I understand they plan to visit their son until after Easter. It was a pleas ure to talk with them and to hear some thing about the way of living in Czecho slovakia, from where they moved before the communist stook over the country. The Chowan Scottish Rite Club held a steak supper down at Kermit Layton’s Sandy Point Beach Friday night, which was one of the most enjoyable ever held by the club. Aside from delicious steak and all trimmings, a musical pro gram was presented by the Chowan Ram blers (I think that’s what they call them selves). The group is composed of Wal lace Evans, Jack Evans, Sammy Morris, Don Maddrey and Sammy Byrum. Club members, were so well pleased with the instrumental and vocal members that the boys just about played out. I under stand that the Ramblers will be glad to furnish a program at various meetings, and if they are always as good as they were Friday, night, the program would be a lot better than some I’ve attended. O A lot of complaining is heard about the arice of prescriptions at drug stores. And anly last week I heard a fellow say he had to get a prescription filled and that it cost as much as a fifth of liquor. Well maybe the latter would have done him is much good—at least for a while. o— Rotarians will elect new officers at their meeting Thursday afternoon at the Parish House. There’s not much reason to expect a lot of cigars To be passed out for, according to Rotary rules, every member of the club has been placed in nomination. The News & Observer News Depart ment sponsored a steak dinner at the Edenton Restaurant Tuesday at noon, which was attended by the paper’s cor respondents in this area. One of the old est and most lively present was Mrs. Earl Weeks of Tarboro, mother of Senator Weeks. She is 79 years old and recently returned from a trip around the world. Just about every person at the dinner wish they would be as spry and full >f life as Mrs. Weeks when they reach the 79th milestone. It was an inspira ion to sit in front of her and enjoy con versing with her. 0 » I just came across a birthday card or ‘wo which I received on my birthday February 24. One of the most interest ing ones was from DeWitt Cooper, my friend out in Richmond, Indiana. On the front was attractively printed “You’ve reached the metallic age.” and on the inside “Silver in your hair; gold in your teeth; lead in your pants.” What hair and teeth is Coop talking about? Then he wrote “From the weather reports, you must be having Hoosier weather winter.” Friend Cooper was in an automobile wreck on Christn’ias eve and was lucky to get out alive, but I understand he is getting along all right, except he has to wear a “corset” due to his injuries. . — —o Jerry McGee sends word that he has not received a copy of The Herald since he moved to Manhattan, Kansas. I’ve checked his address, so that he ought to get this week’s issue. And, like a lot of us, he will be sorry to hear about the Edenton Aces’ loss by only one point in their efforts to play for the state 2-A basketball championship. But' be that as it may, my hat’s off to Coach Jim Kin-, ion and the' Aces for their record this season. It’s one to be very proud of even if the Aces are not the state champions. B. G. Coates of New Castle, PA., re cently saw an ad about “Bukets” In The Herald and ordered some from John Mitchener. Now a letter comes to me from Mr. Coates wkfch says “Bukets fine”. So there’s -natelling what Mm. advertising has; try some hi The Herald. | THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY MARCH 1«, 1966. WUNB-TV Schedule THURSDAY, MARCH 16 9:00 A.

V BUILT »Y John H. High, Inc* Rocky Mount odd years * ago, guides his parishioners, leading our 100 and some parishes with a sum of SB,OOO, it isn’t hard to understand how the goal was reached. Second in the Diocese was St. Gabriel’s of Charlotte, who gave $7,000. “Here in our area, thanks to the wonderful leadership of John Arcaro and Joseph Losack, plus the foot work of the. other captains. Joseph Austin, Ercelle Griffin, John and Franklin Habit, Leo Lavoie, Gerald Maher and Skinner White, our total, when the final results are in, may be the high for our dis trict. For as things stand St. Elizabeth’s of Elizabeth City reports $701; Holy Re deemer of Kill Devil Hills had $326; Charles of Ahoskie had $240; St. Catherine of Elizabeth City had $l2O and we in Edenton have $429.50 in cash plus $75 ip known pledges and about five other unannounced pledges along with sl6l from All Soul’s Church in Columbia, where there are seven units which belong to the parish. Their contributions, perhaps, ex presses the greatest parish effort throughout the entire Diocese, since if duplicated by each family would see a $250,000 realization rather than the one which we are grateful for in our tiny Dio cese in Catholics. Yes, we all have reason for which to be proud, but as far as our own potential here in Eden ton goes, it simply hasn’t been tapped as yet. PVT. RUSSELL PAGE Russell Page Takes Training Pvt.
