; ;V: . t Thursday, April 29, 1982 Bandon Notebook HI, NEIGHBORS! Today is irrihe - my birthday! Isn’t it just to be slive? My Dad’s youngest brother, Papl, wasn’t too many years m}| senior so we had ( a great together. He was a gosd Christian who enjoyed sinjging, laughing and just living but he always said “life without purpose is barren indeed - Thfere can’t be a harvest unless you plant seed, There can’t be attainment unless there’s a goal Anjiman’s but a robot unless there’s a soul ... If send no ships out, no ships will come in, And unless there’s a contest, nobody can win... For games can’t be won unless they are played, And prayers can’t be answered unless they are prayed... Sojwhatever is wrong with your life today, You’ll find a solution if you kneel down and pray Not just for pleasure, enjoyment and health, No* just for honors and prestige and wealth... But pray for a purpose to make life worth living, And pray for the joy of unselfish giving. For great is your gladness and rich your reward When you make your life’s purpose the choice of the Lord.” i i —o— On this Lord’s Day, the su{i broke through the shadows of night in a blaze of glory causing the waters of i the mighty Chowan to spirkle and dance; birds wej*e busy building nest yet lifted their voices in song to griet the new day, while tiny squirrels chased each other across the yard. As one filled the lungs with clean, fresh air and the soul with the beauty of nature, a sense of thanksgiving filled one’s being. ‘Twas a perfect day to enter the church of your choice to thank our Creator for His countless blessings. The fine folk assembled at Bandon Chapel for Sunday School were treated to an enlightening explanation as to why the’ Book of Revelation was written and the importance of studying this last Book of the Bible. This was done by Deacon Wm. F. Smith as he skillfully and lovingly taught the adult lesion, “Assurance in Times of Stress”, based on Rev. 1:1 - 11.

The Chowan County Chapter of the North JjfSL mK| ptt i EAT YOUR HEART OUT FOR THE SYMPHONY At Food Town on May 3,4, and 5. Tim Melvin right, Edenton Food Town Manager, shows Mary Rhea Gardner, left, president of Chowan County’s Symphony Chapter, how simple it is to check out a basket full of groceries and earn money for the local chapter’s effort to provide more student concerts for next year. shopping at Food Town, you can help bring the sym phony back to Chowan. County. The rules are simple as follows: 1) Each member of the Chowan County Chapter of the North Carolina Symphony may turn in up to two (2) register tapes dated May 3,4, or 5 to symphony representatives, who will be available at Food Town on those days. Anyone who purchased a ticket for the January 28 concert automatically became a THE CHOWAN HERALD Carolina Symphony and Edenton’s Food Town have combined efforts to offer YOU a chance to do exactly that! On May 3,4, and 5, by. simply doing your grocery member. this means that if, for example, several lamily members bought tickets, each is eligible to par ticipate. This rule becomes important because -2) Each member may invite one (1) friend or neighbor to par ticipate by shopping up to two (2) times during the three day period and signing both their name and that of their member - friend to the register tape and turning it in. 3) At the end of the three day period, all register tapes turned in will be tallied and Food Town 'HiIL donate 5 per cent of the total receipts to the Chowan County Chapter of the North Carolina Symphony! What could be simpler? Obviously, the more groceries bought the larger the symphony contribution will be, so this will be a good time to stock up on canning and freezing supplies for the summer, non - perishables, and Mother’s Day groceries. But every ticket will help so don’t hesitate to turn in your ticket just because it is a small one. This effort is particularly important because after receiving numerous requests from the com munity that ALL school children in the county be able to participate in the symphony experience, the local Chapter is now com mitted to providing an additional student concert during the next school year. This brings the total number of local performances to three, and substantially increases the amount of 1 money needed to provide the services. Please support this effort 1 to bring the wonderful ex perience of our symphony to Edenton. If you have any questions, call Mae Wad sworth at 482 - 2773 or Mary Rhea Gardner at 482 - 4436. Now go mark your calendar so you won’t forget to go to Food Town May 3,4, and 5 and Shop for the Symphony! wxWrW wv * Playing cards were used as money by early Canadian colonists.

FHA Continuance Is Urged WASHINGTON, D.C.-A Senate subcommittee on agricultural credit has been urged to continue and if possible expand the lending authority of the Farmers Home Administration. Testifying for the National Cotton Council, William H. , Houston, 111, said | reauthorization of the FmHA is imperative because the American farmer’s financial condition is “strained almost to the breaking point.” Houston, a cotton grower of Tunica, Miss., said most cotton farmers are in ex tremely difficult financial situations as the result of circumstances beyond their control. He noted that many have suffered two disastrous seasons in a row, and some three. “Many of them have little equity left to secure production loans for a 1982 crop,” Houston said, “and on top of that, high interest rates add to their already heavy cost burdens.” While in the past farmers who owned their land could offset some of these problems with additional equity generated by rapidly increasing land prices, he pointed out that this added source of borrowing power is no longer available to them because this year’s high interest rates are holding down land values. Even more significant, Houston added, is the fact that some 60 per cent of the cotton crop is grown on rented land which affords the farmer operator no loan security at all. The council represen tative warned against “quick-fix” farm program remedies that might tem porarily help but would damage farm income in the long nm. For this reason, he said the cotton organization was encouraged by the FmHA policy changes announced by Agriculture Secretary John Block to help keep farmers in Kindergarten Registration Kindergarten registration for students living in the White Oak School district will be held April 29 from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. in the gymnasium at White Oak School.
