.4 LIFT FOR TODAY
He is tbe living God, and steadfast for
ever. —Daniel 6:26.
The hunger for God is universal, and his
resources are available to all. In the chaos
of the present, it is reassuring to know that
God is the one factor that does not change.
By Thy great mercy, O Lord, teach u»
whet really matter* in life and ha* endur
ing worth.
Guest Editorial
JUST THE FACTS, PLEASE— WeII,
:it looks as if Rep. James Gardner is go
ing to establish himself as supermouth
before the poll-takers and advertising
men can build him into superman.
Before the ink was dry on the primary
returns. Gardner rushed into print, say
ing he '‘assumed” that Dr. Reginald
Hawkins, the Negro dentist who placed
third in the Democrat balloting, had
“made a deal with Lt. Gov. Bob Scott.”
This statement was made while Mel
Broughton was still pondering whether to
ask for a run-off and after Dr. Hawkins
had stated publicly he would not try to
transfer his support to either candidate.
There was no evidence of any sort of
deal. Bob Scott had carried 89 of the
state’s 100 counties and had received 48
per cent of the total vote in the Demo
cratic primary. He didn’t have to make
a deal with anybody.
Still, he was the front runner and the
man to attack. Had he been in second
place, Mr. Gardner’s “assumption” would
no doubt, have been that Mel Broughton
had made a deal for the Negro vote.
And at the very time Broughton was
announcing on Wednesday that he would
not call for a run-off, Mr. Gardner was
busy trying to link Bob Scott with Bob
by Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey. In
a statement issued from Raleigh GOP
headquarters he referred to “the liberal
philosophies of Bobby Kennedy. Hubert
Humphrey and Bob Scott.”
So one day he paints his opponent with
the black brush and next day he paints
him with the liberal brush, all the while
holding aloft his own Sir Galahad image.
Well, it isn’t going tG work. Pretty
soon the people are going to begin to ask
questions about this wonder boy out of
the east and he is going to have to decide
what banner he is going to campaign un
der.
Is he going to run against the admini
stration in Washington or in Raleigh?
If it’s Washington he is really after, then
he is in the wrong race. He should have
offered again for Congress, where he
would actually have had a voice in curb
ing federal extravagances and wasteful
ness.
But if it’s Raleigh he is really against,
then he is waving the wrong flags and
mouthing the wrong slogans; for Ra
leigh has long been cool to the left lean
ers and tax gleaners in Washington.
And he will have to stay hitched on
the issues at least from now to Novem
ber—long time for him. Yesterday he
wanted to get tough in Vietnam; today
he petitions to halt the bombing. Yes
terday he was against the Great Society;
today he promises a greater one himself.
If Rep. Gardner honestly wants to dis
cuss the relevant issues in North Caro
lina to tell us what is wrong and how
he would cure it. he will be listened to
with courtesy and will garner the sup
port his position deserves.
He earned that right by winning the
Republican nomination: but if he thinks
he is going to take North Carolina apart
and remake it in his own image, some
body is bound to ask how many people
he speaks for.
After all, it should not be forgotten
that he polled fewer votes than did Reg
ii aid Hawkins. To win in November, he
has to take an awful lot of Tar Heels
to the mourner’s bench.

A. Holmes High School Band and Glee
Chib will be held tonight (Thursday) in
the school auditorium. The musical
event begins at 8 o’clock.

Well, they dood it agin." That is, of
course, Edenton’s Little Theater players.
Their presentation of ‘Ten Little Indians"
was superb and many thought it was about
the best entertainment they have thus far
presented. Those who missed it missed a
real treat, and it again reflects the won
derful talent we have in our midst. To
single out any particular performer would
be a difficult task, for every one performed
to perfection. Those who composed the
cast were: Allen Boyd Harless, Jr., Marg
inette Lassiter, Clarence Shackelford, Carol
Becker, John Becker, Gerald Harrell, Glenn
Mabe, Joe Thorud, Alice Twiddy, Alton
Elmore and Frank Palumbo, and that’s not
mentioning those who were behind the
scene who, too, did a bang-up job, with
Joe Conger, Jr., in the role of producer. It
was a splendid piece of entertainment and
should, when the next play is put on, at
tract even larger audienefes than saw the
play Thursday and Saturday nights. My
hat’s off to the whole she-bang!
o
In the passing of J. Frank White, Sr.,
and Mack Gregory, Edenton has lost two
more of its elderly citizens, both in their
80’s. J. Frank was for many years assist
ant postmaster, and a good one, in Eden
ton and a long time ago was a printer when
hand-set type was the only way to get out
a weekly newspaper, so that he had some
idea of some of the problems of The Her
ald crew in the early years, and occasion
ally would give us a little constructive ad
vice. Mack Gregory left Elizabeth City
shortly before I did and was in Edenton
when I arrived. Incidentally, he had the
reputation of being just about the best
automobile mechanic in these parts in his
younger days. Both were fine citizens and
Edenton will be the loser in their passing.
o
And speaking about local talent, another
worthwhile program will be presented in
John A. Holmes High School auditorium
tonight (Thursday) when the High School
Band and Glee Club will present their an
nual spring concert at 8 o'clock. Director
Stuart Patten and his musicians have been
practicing hard for this event in order to
make it the best yet, so that this program,
too, should attract a capacity house.
o
Chickens in the .Cross Roads section must
have fared common Saturday. The Center
Hill-Cross Roads Fire Department had
their annual barbecued chicken supper and
that it is a very popular affair is reflected
in the fact that 1,100 half chickens were
barbecued—and devoured.
o
Though not by death, Edenton will lose
another valuable family. Sam Cox and his
family are scheduled to leave Edenton the
latter part of this month. Mr. Cox, who
has done a bang-up job in soil and water
conservation work in Chowan County, will
be transferred to Burgaw. They have made
many friends in the six years they have
lived in Edenton and, to say the least,
they will be sorely missed.

Another cigar appeared on my desk this
week. It came from Bill Bunch at the
Peoples Bank & Trust Company,, Bill, •'on
Friday, became the daddy of another son.
He now is the pappy of three sons—soon
enough for a basketball team. Congratu
lations, Bill!
o
With so many catfish being caught, and
big ’uns, too, it appears as though Gas
house Parker will change his method of
fishing. He fishes nets, but one day this
week he was rigging up some hook and
line poles. Good luck, Gas!
o
The weatherman smiled on us Sunday
and Sunday night. Many lawns were turn
ing yellow instead of green, and some of
the gardens virtually smiled with the very
welcome showers. But then, as smart as
man is, they sure cannot do anything about
the weather.
o
If this column does not appear next
week, it will be because I’ll be many miles
away from a typecasting machine. Unless
simething happens, the Missus and I will
be in Florida. She’s really gone through
something during the past few months, and
I’m hoping a real rest in sunny Florida
will be very helpful.
EDENTON MINISTER
Continued from Page 1
ber of the Tri-County Ministerial Asso
ciation, serving as chairman of the Exec
utive Committee for a proposed coopera
tive evangelistic crusade in the Edenton
area. He has served as teaching substi
tute at John A. Holmes High School and
is a former member of the Edenton Jay
cees. Mr. Morris is a native North Ca
rolinian, born in Vanceboro, April, 1943.
She and Mr. Morris came to Edenton
from Springfield, Missouri, where they
served as Minister of Youth at a 1,200-
member church, Central Assembly of
God.
The Morrises will move to Dunn in
June.

Conti—d from Pago 1

A request for a traffic signal at North
Oakum and Albemarle Streets was sent
to the finance committee. Councilmen
generally agreed such a signal is neces
sary.
Councilmen will hold a public hearing
at their June meeting on a request by
Miss Minnie Hollowed that a piece of
property on East Queen Street be re
zoned to business.
Signals at Edenton Fire Station were
discussed and Gardner was instructed to
work with the State Highway Depart
ment in getting them erected. The cost

thought was going to happen. Heie
again, adults have influenced children to
do a man’s work. For the past four days
—and at a critical time in the school
year—there has been little, if no, school
at Walker High. The quicker calm can
prevail the sooner educators can get on
with the job for which they are employed.
Jim Kinion knew when he accepted
the assistant principalship at Walker
School it was going to be a rough row to
hoe. It would have been for anyone,
black, white, red or yellow. D. F. Walk
er is an institution in this community.
You don’t sit at the head of a school for
33 years and not earn the respect and
admiration of the majority. If a man
was not made of real stuff he wouldn’t
last nearly that long. .
And, by the same token, it takes a
man of stone rather than of clay, with
an immense desire to contribute his total
effort, to follow Principal Walker. Kin
ion is such a man. He put duty above
self in accepting the second spot and
looked forward to making a great con
tribution to the students, which would
outweigh the criticism he was sure to
receive.
D. F. Walker High School is proba
bly the only Negro union school in East
ern North Carolina with both the ele
mentary and high school departments
accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools. This didn’t
just happen. It is a tribute to the prin
cipal and teachers, as well as the com
munity, all of whom in one way or anoth
er made a contribution of time, effort
or money.
Jim Kinion thought he could add to
this luster. And we think he was right.
He is totally dedicated.
The people’s right to peaceful assem
bly and free expression of ideas and
feelings are to be defended. The fact
that nearly 200 interested persons ap
peared at the school board meeting, while
they represented only one side of the
community, shows the concern they have
for the education of children. Their
demands were unnecessary and detracted
from their real purpose.
Throughout the controversy Jim Kin
ion has maintained a calm and complete
disregard for self which in the coming
days can be an example for others who
meander along The Public Parade.
The picture is not as bleak as some
drug store artists would paint. Sincere
negotiations and deliberations, with the
absence of personalities, can keep this
community moving forward in harmony.
- Anything less would be most unfortunate.
PROTEST ENDS
Continued from Pare 1
bor Council, reported Monday night the
recommendation of the council at a
meeting earlier in the evening. It was
approved unanimously.
Dr. Edward G. Bond, school hoard
chairman, recognized spokesmen for
those in attendance. J. B. Small ex
pressed delight in the decision to secure
additional applications. “We have tried
to give you the feeling of our race on
human rights rather than civil rights,”
he said.
“We did not come to argue hut to
testify,” Small added. “You have done
what we asked you to do,” he concluded.
At this point N. J. George, a board
member, expressed disappointment with
people who encouraged the children to
leave school. “There is only one place
for students during school hours and
this is in the schools,” he asserted.
Rev. S. N. Griffin, retired principal
teacher, lectured the delegation on their
protest actions and defended Kinion.
Rev. Donald C. Morgan, pastor of
Providence Baptist Church, spoke for
the delegation. He said the students
“will not go back to school until the
board has made a decision of a member
of the black race as principal of D. F.
Walker High.”. He then led the group
for the Holmes school cafeteria.
Board members later discussed what
action would be taken against students
who willfully stay out of school. Walk
er was then called to the meeting and
various aspects of the problem were dis
cussed.
It was after Walker had appeared that
Supt. Britt informed the board that Kin
ion had told him earlier that he was no
longer interested in the pqgUion.
“There have been all sorts of threats
against him and his family and too, he
feels he has not received the support of
the community,” Supt. Britt said.
The board agreed to meet again to
night (Thursday) to evaluate the situa
tion and also discuss action to comply
with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Department of Health, Education
& Welfare has informed the board they
are not in compliance and face a cut-
