S Men ought always to pray and not to
faint.—Luke 18:1. ......
We can pray without getting tired for
God will not place us in a more difficult
position than he will give us power to
manage and he will not forsake us.
a May we remember, Our Father, that
•hen Thy chKdren pray together our
prayers will »e heard and answered ac
cording to T’.y grace and wisdom.
Consumers Beware
| If you have ever taken a load of
wheat, ground it into flour, added vari
ous ingredients for special purposes, put
in a little salt, water, yeast, perhaps
some vitamin concentrate, worked the
resulting dough, let it rise into loaves,
and then baked it in an oven to make
| loaf of bread, you would quickly see
{he reason for the spread between farm
prices and the cost of finished food pro
ducts.
One senator has made the suggestion
that labels on food products should state
the value of farm-produced ingredients
t|> make consumers aware of the differ
ence between the retail price and what
the farmer receives for the basic raw
material. The only trouble is that both
farm prices and retail prices are con
stantly shifting according to the chang
ing relationships between supply, de
mand and competition. Grocery clerks
would be spending practically all their
(ime pasting new labels on their merch
andise. Consumers would really be con
fused, farmers would not receive any
jpore, and retail prices would go up
!o cover the cost of label changing.
As The Wall Street Journal observes,
“Like so many consumer-oriented
schemes designed to be informational,
:his could only be less a help than an
jnintentional hindrance.”
Not For Us!
There is a classic wisecrack to the es-
Sfect that the most enjoyable things in life
are either illegal, immoral or fattening.
And ever since the dawn of civilization
there have been people trying to do
something about this situation. Law
makers and law enforcers, princes and
ipriests have tried to curb human cussed
jness, and in more recent years doctors
'and dietitians have lent a helping hand
Ho the people who help themselves to too
much.
All of which is as it should be. After
all, there are limits.
But there are other limits, too. That
is, in how much regulating the human
animal is expected to take. We had one
example of excessive government meddl
ing, in the 18th Amendment that gave us
prohibition, but the same mentality is
still in evidence. Its most recent ach
ievement was the ruling by the Federal
Communications Commission that the
broadcasting media must balance tobac
co advertising with anti-smoking mess
ages.
This seems to be another of those foot
in-the-door moves by our Great Bu
reaucracy. At present the bureaucrats
.are aiming only at radio and TV, but
"give them a little time and they’ll get
around to magazines and newspapers.
And, frankly, we wouldn’t like to be
compelled to publish a handout from
'Big Brother designed to counteract some
cigarette advertising in the same issue.
It reminds us that this is the way Castro
did things when he came to power. Cu
ban papers were obliged to run official
“explanations” at the end of news stories
the bearded one didn’t like.
Nor would that be the end of it. With
the principle established, we would al
most certainly be called upon to conduct
other “educational” campaigns. Is beer
or hard liquor offered in the advertising
columns? Here are some appropriate
Anti-drinking measures to dress up the
editorial columns. Just like the old
Anti-Saloon League and the WCTU used
*to dispense. Do local grocers advertise
fattening foods? Then see to it that
equal space is given to reducing diets.
Then, of course, there would he rec
ords. All sorts. In quadruplicate. Bu
reaucracy being what it is we can just
visualize all the forms we’d have to send
to Washington to let Big Brother know
we were conforming, completely, abject
ly, and without reservation.
Well, as the saying goes, that’ll be
the day!
Why is it that the truth is so painful
sometimes?
& Seen
Wi *r»r
Our co-worker, Wilborne Harrell, was
expected to be brought home from Nor
folk General Hospital Tuesday of this
week, but he developed a fever and possi
ble infection, so that he is still “vaca
tioning” in the hospital as this is written.
Quite a few people have inquired about
Wilborne and we’ve been very happy
to tell ’em he’s getting along fine. I
talked to him on the phone Sunday night
and he said it was the first day he had
not had any pain. However, apparent
ly Wilborne is not so favorably impress
ed with the way he was given nourish
ment. When one of his friends was
visiting him, he said he was sort of
hungry. “Why, you’re getting nourish
ment right now,” said the friend, point
ing to the glucose being administered.
“Yes,” said Wilborne, “but I like to
taste the food going into my stomach.”
Anyway, Wilborne mustered up enough
strength to write his column for this
week’s issue of The Hetald while prop
ped up in bed.
o
Mrs. Elizabeth Gregg, who lives at the
Athol House on the base, spends quite
a little time visiting relatives, but on a
recent return home she found she had
some “visitors” even though she was
not at home. The “visitors” were a few
snakes who seemed right at home but
to say the least were not at all welcome
despite Mrs. Gregg’s friendly and con
genial disposition. It didn’t take her
long to have her home inspected, so that
she is now free of the “visitors”. She
was told the snakes were not poisonous
but she, like me, thinks a snake is a
snake and didn’t want to be friendly
with ’em. And who blames her!
o -
I saw in a paper the other day that
a fellow has about the same trouble I
have in trying to raise tomatoes. In the
article this fellow says that about the
time the plants are blooming and small
tomatoes begin to appear, the stalks be
gin to wilt and turn yellow at a rapid
pace, so that very few tomatoes are rea
lized. I’ve had the same trouble for
about three years now and it looks as
though they’re going to do the same this
year. In fact, I’m “regusted” and plan
to give up “farming”. Hope some of
my friends do not have the same trou
ble, for here’s one who really likes
home-grown tomatoes.
o
We’ve had company at our house for
over a week now in the person of my
father-in-law, F. S. Kline from Hagers
town, Md. Some men (and women)
don’t get along so well with in-laws, but
that’s one complaint I’ve never had any
occasion to register. The only trouble
with the one now visiting us Is that he
likes to fish, but don’t fish our way.
He don’t fish where we tell him, he don’t
put on bait the way we do and he
tangles up his lines too darned much.
But the biggest trouble is that just about
every time we’ve taken him fishing, he
caught more fish than I did. He’ll be
going back to Hagerstown Thursday and
I’d like to hear the fish stories he tells
his friends back in his home town.
o—
And speaking about fishing, quite a
few Edenton people run down to Nags
Head to try their luck. Anne Jenkins
and Mamie Parker had a “field day”
Sunday down there, and they didn’t have
to tell anybody that they were at the
beach their sun-burned faces was
proof enough that they did not spend
the day at home. And speaking about
fishing on the Nags Head piers, it’s sort
of a gamble. Take for instance E. L.
Hollowell. The Missus, her daddy and
I went down Saturday and for a spell
we caught spots galore. E. L. had been
at one of the other piers, but the fish
were not biting at all. He decided to
come to the pier where we were fishing,
but got there at just about the time the
spots knocked off. So a fellow hardly
knows what to do sometimes.

THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JUNE 32, IM7.
Youth Fellowship
“Face the Music”, a new teenage dra
matic film spectacular, will be shown
Saturday, June 24, at 8 P. M., in the
Edenton Armory. It is sponsored by the
Christian Youth Fellowship of Edenton
and Chowan County.
The Christian Youth Fellowship of
Edenton and Chowan County is an in
terdenominational organization establish
ed with the young people of the area
to promote a Gospel emphasis once per
month through the summer of 1967.
The first such emphasis will be Saturday
night. All the youth of the area and
their families are invited. Rev. Hubert
Morris serves as coordinator of the or
ganization.
“Face the Music” tells the story of Sid
Fox, trumpeter and leader of a night
club combo, whose pathway to stardom
is lined with failure. Sid, through de
ception, becomes a member of an out
standing traveling music group. He
soon falls in love with “Candy”, the
beautiful blonde soloist, who until Sid’s
arrival had shown real interest in
“Chuck” whose broad shoulders and
bulging muscles spelled star athlete.
Geared to modern American teen
agers, this motion picture lays bare the
materialistic phoniness that is character
istic of many people today but it
doesn’t stop there! In language that
teenagers understand, “Face the Music”
presents definite answers to the most
important questions they face.
Filmed in beautiful Eastman color,
“Face the Music” is a production with
a story which will be understood and
enoyed by the whole family.

spacious swimming pool. The private
club will be able now to offer some
thing to the non-golfing families and
the pool makes it into a true country
club.
Tom Hopkins has been the driving
force behind the new pool which is lo
cated on the banks of the Albemarle
Sound. He was given special, and well
deserved recognition at a formal dance
held Saturday night.
The airport and country club join
with other facilities to make this a-weH~

So It Says
The story in a Wednesday morning
paper reads:
“KINSTON—Lenoir voters Tuesday
approved a $7,775,000 bond issue for
construction of a new county hospital.”
What it didn’t say, but which is
equally as factual, is that Lenoir Coun
ty isn’t without the services of a surge
on. We are in Chowan.
Isn’t it about time the hospital sup
porters along The Public Parade started
giving out information which might
change a few minds about the need of
additional hospital facilities here?

time, which indicates the dire need of a
hospital for Chowan County, both for
short term patients as well as long term
patients which have been turned away
almost every week.
Jones also announced that Miss San
dra Hare, a recent graduate of Chowan
College, has joined the nursing staff.
She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Worth H. Hore.
Jesse L. Harrell, president of the
board, stated that a site committee to
select the location for a new hospital
has been appointed. He said this group
consists of people from every section of
the county.
The board has authorized an architect
to make schematic drawings in prepara
tion for a bond election which will be
held this fall to build a new hospital.

Judge Hears Liquor Case
A Negro woman was given a suspend
ed prison sentence in District Court
here Tuesday after being convicted of
possessing untaxed liquor and possess
ing it for the purpose of sale.
Judge W. S. Privott ordered Louise
Holley, 128 East Albemarle Street, not
to be convicted of illegal possession of
liquor for a period of five years or she
would have to serve the 18-month sen
tence.
The jurist then ordered that eight
pints of legal liquor be returned to the
defendant.
She was also ordered to pay a fine of
$l5O and court costs.
Edenton police arrested the woman
after a raid on her home at 10:30 P. M.,
May 18. They testified that there had
been an unusual amount of traffic around
the house and they had information that
she was in the liquor business. Severai
gallons of untaxed liquor, taken in the
raid, was ordered destroyed.
Otis Welch was sentenced to a total
of four years in prison after Judge Pri
vott convicted him on two counts of as
sault. He was charged with assaulting
his wife with a belt and his mother-in
law, Vessie Holley, with a knife.
In companion cases, Vessie Holley,
Vanderbilt Holley and Isham Holley
were all found not guilty of assaulting
Welch.
Judge Privott found probably cause
in the case where Charles H. Sleeman
was charged with auto larceny. The
case was sent to Superior Court and
Sleeman’s bond was set at SI,OOO.

Walker included:
