A UFT FOR TODAY
He is not here; but is risen.—Luke 24:6.
Human hands made the door of the
tomb, but the Hand of God opened the door
of it into Eternal Life. The true followers
of Christ will have the same experience,
for we worship a Living, Risen Lord.
Fill our hearts with the life-giving mes
sage of the resurrection, and send us forth,
as the disciples of old were commissioned,
to share the Gospel with the world which
is groping in darkness, unable to see Thr
Light of the World.
Hertford Doctor
Taken In Death
HERTFORD—Dr. T. P. Brinn, Per
quimans County’s only full-time phy

Dr. Brinn was 70. He had been

degrees from the University of North

In case you’ve missed the political ad
vertisements scattered throughout this issue
of The Herald, as well as a sample ballot
appearing elsewhere, here’s a list of can
didates for town offices in the municipal
election scheduled for next Tuesday, May 6:
For Mayor the candidates are George
Alma Byrum, Roy L. Harrell and Henry G.
Quinn.
James M. Bond, incumbent, has as his
opposition Mrs. Carolyn Ricks for the po
sition of Town Treasurer.
There are four candidates for Council
man-at-large, including J. C. (Pete) Dail,
Alton Elmore, Richard L. Satterfield and
William H. (Bill) Collins.
In the Third Ward David G. White, Jr.,
incumbent, is being opposed by Edward
W. Taylor, Jr.
In the Fourth Ward Luther C. Parks, In
cumbent, has Oscar F. Blair as his oppo
nent.
There is no contest for the Board of Pub
lic Works, with two members to be elected.
James P. Ricks, Jr., and W. J. P. Earn
hardt, Sr., both are seeking re-election.
Well, there they are folks. All of ’em
are angling for your vote. It’s up to you
to vote for those who you feel are best
qualified and will make the best town of
ficials. Some will be elected, but then
some will be in the same beat as Charles
DeGaulle of France.
o
And speaking about the election, I heard
one fellow say, “Not a single candidate has
asked for my vote.” Maybe he had a little
consolation in what a friend todd him,
“Maybe the candidates have a little Con
sideration for your character and they
didn’t want you to tell a lie.”
—o
Well, Daylight Saving Time went into
effect last Sunday but, unlike last year,
nobody was seen coming to the Methodist
Church for Sunday School and morning
service after each one was over. Here’s
one who welcomes the change, for it al
lows at least one more hour to fish after
working hours.
o
And speaking about fishing, the fisher
men are getting plenty of bites up the
creeks these days. I’m not talking about
fish bites, but rajfrer the devilish gnats.
They made a meal off my arms, face and
neck Saturday afternoon. Anyway fisher
men have their share of troubles. First,
there’s the gnats and about the time they
leave, the yellow flies will take over, only
to be followed by the consam mosquitoes—
and added to all these troubles will be a
group of high speed boats pulling ski en
thusiasts, who sometimes almost wash a
skiff out of the creek. Oh me!
o
Walter Bond is a bit poorer because he
did not attend Monday night’s Red Men
meeting. A nice-size batch of change has
accumulated which will go to the member
whose name is pulled out of a box—pro
vided this particular member is present at
the time. Well, Walter’s name was drawn
from the box Monday night, but he wasn't
there to pick up the money.
o
Here’s one whose mouth was watering
last week on account of word from one of
my favorite nephews in Pennsylvania that
he was sending us a batch of dandelion,
and my father-in-law in Hagerstown, Md.,
was sending some rhubarb. Both have ar
rived and have been consumed with a
relish. Maybe a lot of people don’t know
about eating dandelion, but it has chitter
lings beat a mile and besides when a
youngster at home my mother always
claimed that dandelion was a good spring
tonic. Anyway, I’m grateful for both “con
tributions.”
o
Edenton Red Men were shocked to hear
that W. E. Yopp of Wilmington died sud
denly Sunday morning as the result of a
heart attack. Mr. Yopp for many years
was Great Chief of Records of Improved
Order of Red Men in North Carolina and
was well and affectionately known by quite
a few local Red Men. Red Men of the
state have lost a very efficient leader and
his loss will be keenly felt throughout the
entire state.
o
Here’s one who regretfully was obliged
to miss the Albemarle Choral Society’s an
imal spring concert in the Baptist Church
Sunday afternoon. However, from what I
understand, the rendition of the ‘German
Requiem” by Johannes Bra hams, sung in
English, was greatly enjoyed • by those who
attended. As usual, Dr. Clifford Bair was
the director, which coupled with the splen
did talent he had to work with', was guar
antee enough that the program was of the
highest calibre. 7 *
Girl Scout Eyent
Some 200 Girl Scouts'from this dis
trict are expected to converge on Eden
ton Saturday for completion of Long
Games which have been underway for
several months.
The group will gather at National
Guard Armory and have fun and games
from 9:30 A. M., to 12- noon. Eight
troops from Elizabeth City *lll join the
four Edenton troops for tbe event.
Truck Recovered
_ 1 % .•«.
A truck stolen from Spedic ‘ Vending
Service here over the weekend has been
found abandoned in Cary, near Raleigh.
Edenton Police were notified at 11:30
P. M., Tuesday that the vehicle had
been located. None of the merchandise
taken from the warehouse was reported
recovered.
W. P. (Spec) Jones reported at 7:15
A. M., Monday that the warehouse in
Industrial Park had been entered.' A
1967 Ford van and a large quantity of
merchandise was taken. There was very
building.
fJublit parade
Continued from Pag* 1
moving society makes it virtually im
possible for a community to draw a cur
tain around its boundaries. What hap
pens, or doesn’t happen, to our neigh
bors sooner dr later will have an affect
on our lives.
For this reason, if for none other,
those who meander along the Public
Parade join in mourning the death of
Dr. T. P. Brinn of Hertford. The re
moval of Dr. Brinn from the scene
leaves Perquimans County without the
services of a full-time physician.
Dr. Brinn, who was born in Tyner but
migrated to Perquimans, was an insti
tution. He was among the rapidly fad
ing breed of country doctors. He kept
abreast, though, with modern medicine
and until his death had the best interest
of his people in mind.
This is reflected in a last request.
He didn’t want flowers; he asked that
contributions be made to further the
cause of good medicine. If the chal
lenge was not already present for those
of influence to cast aside pettiness and
get on with the program, it hangs over
them now.
Doctors and good medical facilities
play a vital role in what happens in our
communities. Like schools, recreational
facilities, municipal government, etc.,
those who seek to become a part of the
community analyze them.
Dr. Brinn was bigger than his critics.
He wanted excellence, not mediocrity.
The fact he wouldn’t settle for less Is
his shrine. Those capable of looking
beyond their selfishness now have an
opportunity to prove themselves.
And all of Northeastern North Caro
lina will then be an even better place
in which to live, work and play.
Wolf pack Coming
There is a great deal of satisfaction
in country journalism. While the mo
ments of pleasure far outweight the
torture, there are guys around who like
to make it a bit unpleasant.
About once or twice a year A1 Phil
lips fits the bill.
A1 happened to matriculate at the
sub-division of the Greater University
of North Carolina located in West Ra
leigh. If you weren’t aware of this
chances are you have lived here less
than 10 days.
This branch of the University from
time to time fields athletic teams which
enjoy some degree of success. It is for
this reason, we assume, that the Wolf
pack Chib ranks right up close to Phi
Beta Kappa in the minds of some.
Those who join this club get special
privileges, like having the right to 50-
yard-line tickets when their team plays
Chowan College, etc. Also, you buy
the right to hear coaches explain why
they didn’t win.
A1 gets so much pleasure out of an
nouncing the Wolfpack Club luncheon
meetings that he hand-carries them to
us. He also issues an invitation for
lunch. It appears to be one of the high
points in his year.
They’ll be meeting May 8 at 12 noon
at Edenton Restaurant. Jack Stanton,
an assistant of Coach Earle Edwards,
will be here along with Jim Donnan.
While we don’t want to leave the
impression we endorse such a gathering,
these are usually interesting and infor
mative sessions.
P. S. We happened to have the op
portunity to attend classes on the main
campus, and there discovered the needle
is sharp on both ends.

Area Association Is Being Planned
Home economists from 14 counties
will meet together Wednesday at 6 P. M.
at the Edenton Restaurant to launch a
regional home economics association.
The new association win be a spin-off
of the state-wide 1,500-member N. C.
Home Economics Association.
The state organization has the frame
work to cope with general problems
within the area of family living, but it
is unable to tackle situations peculiar
to one area of the state, Frances S.
Voliva, temporary chairman of the reg
ional association, said today. The im
portant problem may be management in
one region of the state; consumer com
petence in another, she explained.
