Unchangeable is Christ in love and search for men lost in sin; unchangeable in his power to save; and unchangeable in his goal for every one—to be “perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect/’ O Thou who changes* not, abide with me. Please, President Johnson Please, President Johnson, I’d rather do it myself! I suppose it’s some vestige of pride that makes me want to hold up my own shield and wield my own sword and build my own castles. Somehow the protective wing you would spread over me seems more a hin drance than a help. If I depend on your wings, how will I ever learn to fly? Don’t try to spare me defeat or fail ure. No man can recognize happiness ex cept by contrast. Don’t rip the top rungs off the ladder. I’d lose the will to climb. Don’t paint our flag a somber grey. The beauty’s in the colors. Don’t take the reins from the people. The driver also holds the whip. Don’t erase the boundaries of North Carolina. Our pride is in our own iden tity. Don’t strangle free enterprise. There’s the nation’s breath. Don’t condemn our poor to eternal de soair. A man on the bed of welfare wold sleep on. Don’t promise my children euphoria Heaven is not administered by a federal agency. Don’t preach to me of frugality. I have learned to live within my own budg et. Don’t ask me to join a pilgrimage for rights without responsibilities. Liberty must be its own bridle. Don’t try to make love a law. Con gress cannot improve on my conscience. I know you mean well, Mr. President but in your haste to clear the path of progress, the trees you fell bar the wav You must remember that the people sharpened the axe you swing. And we’d rather swing it ourselves. Alan S. Bovd, Under Secretary o f Commerce for Transnortation says. “It i* an oftused cliche but a truism nonethe less that transportation is the lifeline of our nation. It.affects the cost,of .every thing we buy. And ft is generally agreed that the future of our nation will depend upon how r well we all handle the job ir integrating and coordinating the most ad vanced technologies into all segments o f our transportation mix.” Gas companies are particularly vulner able to slight changes in temperatures A one-degree drop has been known to in crease the demand.for gas by forty million cubic feet. <r BUENTON BRING US i , YOUR FILM FOR PROMPT PROCESSING.

Having gone through many budget meetings over the years, Tuesday night’s wrestling with figures was without doubt the smoothest in my long experi ence as a Town Councilman. Much of the credit is due to Luther C. Parks and J. D. Elliott, members of the Finance Committee, as well as Town Administra tor Billy Gardner. Os course, this trio spent quite a few hours whipping budget figures into shape so that, unlike just about every annual budget heretofore, the entire group of Councilmen were not obliged to meet several times to juggle figures and in many cass argue a great deal about various phases of the budget. In fact, so well had this year’s budget been prepared that not a single change was made in the various appropriations — and that is very unusual, if you ask me. Then, too, the Finance Committee this year had a budget from the Board of Public Works to contend with. Though some of the figures in the E. & W. budget were about as clear as mud, not a single change was made in that budget as it was presented. So, after a lot of hard work and much thought, the town’s tax rate remains at SI.OO on the SIOO property valuation—and thus in spite of the fact that preliminary glances at the requests from the various departments appeared as though the tax rate would have to be boosted. At any rate, Luther Parks is to be complimented on the way he handled this year’s budget for the town and J. D. Elliott and Billy Gardner, too, should be given a hand for the part they took in it. Tuesday night’s meeting began at 7:30 o’clock and lasted until far past 11 o’clock, so that the Councilmen missed their free treat of ice cream by Mayor fohn Mitchener. The Mayor had no supper before the meeting, so he chased home as soon as he could to fill up his ’ummy. o And speaking about eating, the ladies at Center Hill put on an honest-to-good ness supper Saturday night. It was buf fet style with the “customers” having an opportunity to help themselves with all kinds of well prepared food. In fact, to take just a little from every dish on the table, a fellow had a piled up plate to get away with. Here’s one who has be come accustomed to wearing seat belts, hut after that supper it was too uncom fortable to stretch a seat belt around my mid-section. o— And while on the subject of food, I note in Mildred Huskins’ and Kate’s col umns every now and then that both of ’em include various recipes. And then every now and then I see where the reci pe calls for garlic. Right then that par ticular recipe is cut from my list, for I put garlic in the same category as chit terings both of ’em not fit to eat. o Time was when my desk was just about the talk of the town. But being relieved of a lot of an editor’s duties, this respon sibility has fallen on the shoulders of Bud Amburn. And if my eyes do not betray me, his desk is in fact about the same shape as mine was for many years. I'he only difference is that his desk is larger than mine, so that the “junk” isn’t quite as close together. mj&o&o&onouo&om ft BUY/' - s** 5 **' —\ £ U: AT/ GEOUGE CHtWOIEt \ II n ~mL ■ WPRf , J • U STRAIGHT Hh • Y SHOOTERS J ■ W Buying a used car doesn’t have to be a | hazardous operation.

Local Teacher Attends Seminar GREENVILLE Nineteen teachers "selected from high schools 'in? 17 North Carolina countiesTAre completing this week an East Carolina Col lege seminar on finance to which they were awarded all-expense fellowships. During the two weeks of the seminar the teachers have been studying and dis cussing ideas of personal fi nance, management- of per sonal finance, financial insti tutions and related subjects. Teachers chosen for the seminar were selected from applicants in three teaching fields business education, distributive education and so cial studies. Dr. James H. Bearden of the ECC School of Business faculty has served as sem inar director. Instructor® have included senior mem bers of the ECC business fac ulty and representatives of financial institutions. The seminar w a s sponsored by the North Carolina Sav ings & Loan League which made available the all-ex pense fellowships. Teachers who were award ed the fellowships and who attended the seminar include: Mrs. Leah R. Mayo, teacher at John A. Holmes High School, Edenton. DIES IN VIET NAM Word has been received by Mr. and Mrs. Garris Bunch of Hobbsville of the death of their son, Iva, stationed with U. S. Forces in Viet Nam. Details of the death have not been made known. frHFPUBU^PARAD^ Continued from Page 1 TO THE EDITOR . limits to the amounts that can be transferred as indi cated by the present unap propriated $89,000, your so called "outrageous kitty.” Your implication that the Board ot Public Works has been attending to business that was not theirs and neg lecting business that is theirs is highly resented by me and, I believe, without foun dation. For instance, the prepared and submitted bud get requested by the Coun cil shows that to serve the industrial prospects, electric power, water and sewer will require an extension of these facilities costing in excess of $500,000. My letter of trans mittal urges the Council to continue to build up funds so that this obligaion can be met. Surely, Mr. Amburn, you do not advocate the de pletion of the resources of the Board of Public Works to such an extent that indus trial customers’ needs can not be met. This would cancel the efforts of our fine Chamber of Commerce and stimey our town’s growth. May I suggest, Mr. Am burn, that before you make statements in your news paper concerning town af fairs, that it would behoove you to make a simple in quiry, after which you may agree or not with the pro priety of what you find. However, you will then be informed, which is consider ably more than you appear to be at present. Yours truly, Board of Public Works, Town of Edenton, N. C. JESSE L. HARRELL, Chairman. FARMING: FEWER PRO DUCE MORE —Mechanization is in vogue along The Pub lic Parade. It is continu ously in evidence in the fac tory, on the farm, and in just about every other area of our daily lives. A report just released by the state and federal govern ment gives you an idea how it is working in rural Cho wan County. During 1965, the number of people living on farm tracts declined while the total amount of harvested cropland increased by 2.2 per cent. In 1964 there were 3,502 of Chowan’s 11,500 citizens living on the farm. The fig ure dropped to 3,393 in 1965. Os these, 460 worked 100 or rpore days off the farm dur ing the year 1964; 415 during 1965. During the same period of time all land in farms in creased by 255 acres, to a new high of 85,073. Thirty seven per cent of this was in harvested cropland; 5 per cent in idle cropland; 3 per cent in pasture and 55 per cent in woods, waste, etc. The report shows a signi ficant decrease in corn har vested for grain, tobacco and wheat. This was more than offset by increases in soy- SHOP I. N. S. ■ -••• AT— - W. E. S. NO. 303 CAN DEL MONTE Peas cait 19c CANNED Biscuits. . * . 4 cdtls 29c 8-OZ.

Edenton’s administrator has been placed in a bad position by serving both the council and utilities board. It is not his place to carry tales from one board to another. It is mote reasonable for tfih utili ties chairman to Inform the mayor and council of mat ters pertaining to finances. We have no quarrel with the utilities chairman or his fellow board members. They are to be commended for the mahner in which the depart ment operates. The general public should be apprised of the entire scope of operation, thu® softening the blow the first of each month when the bills arrive. It is our duty to bfing to the attention of our citizens matters pertaining to the op eraion of THEIR town, we will continue to do so with out asking the permission ol the chairman of the utilities board or anyone else. beans and all vegetables grown for sale. Soybeans now push corn in the total percentage of crops harvested. Corn leads the list at 30 per cent, while soy beans is at 29 per cent. Pea nuts account for 19 per cent of the total; cotton, 8 per cent; vegetables, 11 per cent, and the remaining 3 per cent is in all other crops. Through mechanization, more farm land is being tended by fewer workers who are able to produce more. Because of this, the import ance of new industry to our area cannot be over stated. POST OFFICE DRIVING— Those who enjoy the con venience of parking on the lot at the Edenton Post Of fice need to be a little more careful about their driving habits. There has been consider able congestion around the post office, but this was re lieved somewhat when a nice paved lot was constructed between the building at Edenton Methodist Church. Postmaster James M. Bond, in cooperation with town of ficials, has allowed patrons of the post office to park on the lot for short intervals. Many motorists, upon leaving the post office, go around back and onto Church Street. There have been reports of near-misses as cars speed around the ramp, etc. On* mishap on the federal prop erty would more than likely put a halt to the courtesy be ing shown by the postmaster. A word to the wise should be sufficient. Put a small bottle of de tergent in your tackle box. A squirt on your hands (or dirty lures) brightens them up quickly.
