A LIFT FOR TODAY
The Lord spake unto Moses.—Leviticus
24:1.
God. speaks to men—but only to those
seeking wisdom and willing to hear his
voice, for our Heavenly Father does not
intrude where he is not welcome.
Attune our ears to hear Thy voice; fill
our hearts with a yearning to do Thy bid
ding; and give us the will to accomplish Thy
purpose for us—we pray, 0 Lord.
Thing's Change, People Too
binte politics nowadays is largely the
fine art of projecting a powerful or even
overwhelming personality, it is only nat
ural that there should be much discuss
ion' of one of the foremost practitioners
of this area—Bobby Kennedy.
The junior Senator from Boston, Vir
ginia and New York is, without a ques
tion. a phenomenon, with a fantastic fol
lowing among teen-agers. But puzzling
to some political observers is the manner
in which his managers go out of their
way to pack the Senator's audiences with
these enthusiastic moppets. Some say it
is for theatrical effect, and is used with
the same kind of showmanship that has
been employed by press agents for Frank
Sinatra and the Beatles. Others say that
isn’t so at all, that Bobby is well aware
that these kids will be old enough to vote
in a few years, and just when he will
doubtless be making the Big Try for the
Big Job.
1 1 the latter school of thought is cor
rect, we think he ought to talk to a few
pironts. That is, parents outside the
Kennedy family. They’d probably tell
him that there is nothing as unpredictable
r. d as fickle as a teenager. As proof
they might show him some of those Davy
Crockett coonskin caps that were the rage
only a few short years ago. Or some of
those Batman items that were much in
evidence only a few weeks ago.
Indeed, at the risk of being burned at
the stake by furious teen-agers, we won
der if records by the Beetles will be sell
ing as well next year as they are at
present.
However, as the saying goes, “that’s
show business,” and since Bobby is using
show-biz .techniques he may lose some of
his audience by the time that audience
can do him any good. Dubious observ
ers say this is likely to happen for another
reason. They point out that despite that
unruly, boyish mop of hair and those
flashing teeth. Bobby is 47 years old.
Will today’s youthful admirers love him
in February as they do now in. say, De
cember?
Or will the moppets of 1972 be hootin'
and hollerin'" for someone else with an- 1
other kind of hairdo: It might he. you
know, that shaved heads will be the
vogue in 1972.
Further than which, these are times
which call for a political leader, not a i
cheerleader.
The easiest way to soften the human
body is to pamper it.

“By But
Well, with the Christmas decorations
just about disappeared in the business
section, as well as in homes, the holi
days are now over and mayhe things will
soon be back to normal again. No doubt
many people thoroughly enjoyed the holi
day season, but just the same a lot of
’em are glad it’s all over—and here’s
one of ’em. However, like Mrs. Jerry
Evans says, “Christmas is a time of shar
ing not only with those who have plenty,
but it is a joy to'think of the less fortun
ate, the lonely and those not thought of
at Christmas. “It’s a great joy doing and
giving the small things that make others'
Christmas bright. It’s a joy to make new
friends from year to year but don’t
forget the old ones, too.” And adding
to Mrs. Evans’ remarks, wouldn’t it be
wonderful for us all to have the Christ
mas spirit all through the year?
o
Edenton ladies turned back the pages
of history to 1774 Monday when the
famous ( it ought to be far more famous)
Edenton Tea Party was re-enacted at tin
Penelope Barker House at the foot of
Broad Street. That there was a greai
deal of interest outside Chowan County
was reflected by the number of visitors
who were on hand for the affair. And
again it was demonstrated that when the
people of Edenton decide to do a thing
it can be done with credit. The celebra
tion was witnessed by a large crowd as
sembled outside the house as well as
many who were lined up along the Water
Street waterfront. The “party” was car
ried out a la 1774 women and, not dis
counting those who were on the program,
just about the most outstanding phase
of the program was firing of the three
Revolutionary cannon in front of the
Court House Green. These old Revo
lutionary War relics have been silent
since they arrived in Edenton almost 200
years ago, so that it was a very unique
sight to see the billows of smoke shoot
jout over the water. Then, too, another
exceptional part of the program was the
appearance of the Cherryville New Year’s
Shooters. Following a very interesting
chant by one of the Shooters, the group
discharged their old-time muskets which
sent out more smoke and were very much
louder than the old cannon. The celebra
tion was a distinct credit to those who
made the arrangements, and the shooting
which went on made a fellow sort of feel
that the British had swooped down upon
us.
o
...I .overheard a fellow telling a friend
he had a very nice Christmas. “I had
plenty to eat,” he said, “and as much
to drink as I could hold.” He was a
pretty big fellow, so that the latter must
have made him either happy or to have
: weet dreams.

An open installation of officers of
Unanimity l odge No. 7. A. F. & A. M..
will be held tonight (Thursday) at S
! o'clock. This installation can be attend
ed by friends and relatives of the new
| officers, so that a large crowd is expected
to be on hand. Phil Robey also says
i there'll he refreshments served in th(
dining room following the meeting.

Don’t waste a day without laughter
Because of the joy laughing brings
A merry heart that’s filled with fun
Erases woe and makes laughter ring.
There’s nothing better for
a case of blues, self pity or
just plain worrying than a
good “belly” laugh. Sounds
a little crude when I de
scribe it so, but by that I
mean a hearty, genuine and
spontaneous laugh. It will
lift your heart bright out of
despair, at (east for, a little
while, and • really your day
will be .brighter. There’s a
lot of fun going to waste,
too—doesn’t cost much but
it’s there —waiting . . ,
It’s a brand new" year with
all the hope of new begin
nings and new challenges.
Many times, after we’ve gone
through a difficult period in
our lives, we may think or
say that if God gives us an
other day, we vow that w-e
will never allow" this or that
to happen again. So, I feel
about a new" year—l’ll try
not to repeat last year’s mis
takes and to avoid new er
rors—with God’s help.
I’ve heard of “Golf Wi
dows,” “Fishing Widows”
and now I know" about
“Football Widows,” for this
past weekend was a “doozie.”
I like football or most any
sport, but how’ a man can sit
for HOURS watching one
game after another, oblivious
to all except TV and foot
ball is an enigma to me.
However, I keep telling my
self “if that makes him hap
py—l’m happy, too” —because

Kate
he’s near and available—
dqFiftg commercials.
Most all of us have been
pretty busy during the past
week dismantling the Christ
mas tree and other decora
tions. The greenery is dark
and brittle and makes a com
plete mess until it gets on
the trash pile. But it was
all worth it, with the mem
ory of Christmas warmth
and cheer and most of all
LOVE.
From all. accounts the re
enactment of the Edenton
Tea Party was a huge suc
cess from the standpoint of
weather and whether. The
“weather” was perfect and
most everyone wondered
••whether” the cannon would
really be fired and they
really were with a loud
boom. Several of us man
aged f° find a perfect park
ing place across the bay near
the cannon giving us a
ringside seat for most all ac
tivities. We could hear the
speaker's very plainly and
see all except the actual
signing of the resolution. As
usual, another of Edcnton’s
historic accomplishments.
While I think of it, I want
to tell you all how much I
appreciate all the nice mes
sages received at Christmas
time. Even though I am not
much of a writer, I enjoy
doing this column—but was
almost to the point of giving
up. Now, perhaps, I’ll con
tinue for a while.
Do you remember? Turn
ing on the Atwater Kent ra
dio and listening to “When
the Moon Comes Over the
Mountain.” Or receiving
oranges at Christmas time—
a real treat.
Glimpses
Seeing Mrs. Cornelia Priv
ott on the street the day af
ter the Tea Party eelebrar
tion, looking quite attractive
in a becoming shade of blue
and seeming real pleased
that the celebration was a
huge success and it was
through her efforts that it
WAS a success.
It was a pleasure to see
and to meet Mrs. Vivian
(Jack) Mooney this past
weekend. Mr. and Mrs.
Mooney had moved from
Edenton before my arrival
here and from what I have
seen and heard, Edenton’s
loss was Raleigh's gain, in
having such a charming and
talented' family there.
