Thursday. July 29, 1962 The Bandon Chapel Notebook Hi, Neighbors! It’s wonderful to be blessed with friends • they make the difference between “really living” and “just existing”! Whoever said “die language of friendship is not words, but meanings” knew what he was talking about. Monday I was pleasantly surprised by a visit from a long time friend whom I hadn’t seen for many years, yet it seemed as though it was only yesterday! We began again right where we left off, then filled in the years that time and distance had separated us. She is still very active in her church work and community but has taken time out for three trips to Europe, two long visits to Hawaii (all the Islands), and drove across country to L.A., stopping at all points of interest along the way. To me she looked just as good as when I met her about 90 years ago - the same sparkle in her eyes, her lilting laughter, even the spring in her footsteps - yet - in May she celebrated her 85th birthday! But, she is still young! She claims she doesn’t have time to get old - is only a quality of the mind. She claims you are young if you have turned loose of yesterday; enjoy today; anticipate tomorrow; look up when knocked down; feel there is much to learn; are am bitious; enthusiastic; dream dreams; feel young; work with young people; help others; and most im portant, do what you can about problems then take all your troubles and burdens to the Lord and leave them there. God is great enough to handle anything we take to Him. I was exhilarated just listening to her and feeling her love. Share one of her favorite poems with me: (It’s titled "Touching Others”, author unknown.) “My life shall touch a dozen lives before this day is done; Leave countless marks for good or ill ere sets the evening sun. . n ■ This is the wish I always wish, the prayer I ever pray: Lord, miy my life helji other lives it touches by the way.” This Lord’s Day was glorious! The sun was shining, the birds were singing a concert as the squirrels scurried to and fro, waters of the mighty Chowan sparkled as though sprinkled with thousands of diamonds and just outside my window, the Humming Birds were feeding! Their little wings go “a mile a minute” until they perch on the feeder, then for a short moment only, their wings Shop I.N.S.

At , Bandon Chapel, Henry (Trus) Bunting welcomed all assembled for Sunday School, especially our first timers and visitors. Butch Smith substituted for Kent Rowley as Adult Teacher and taught one of the best lessons I’ve heard him teach, with just 30 mins, notice. His topic was “The Philippian Jailer: A Shaken Man”, Acts 16:25 • 34, and brought out the fact that a crisis can become the doorway to salvation. Prayer List: In my opinion, prayer is the most powerful force in this world today. Please add our friends to your prayer list. Marlyn Jean Rowley was rushed to the hospital about 3 A.M.

Pittman Federal Land Bank Promotions The Federal Land Bank Association of Ahoskie is proud to announce the promotion of two of its employees effective July 6, 1982. Mr. L.

Pittman has been trans ferred from Ahoskie as Assistant Vice President and Branch Office Manager of the Elizabeth City Office. Mr. Taylor has been employed by the association Around The County Farms By Mike Williams County Extension Chairman It is that time of the summer again when you are starting to see a large number of moths flying at night as you drive down the road. A great many of these moths will soot be the com earworm as it emerges out of the ground. These moths have developed from worms that have been feeding inside the com ears and now that corn has become too hard and there are no silks on which to lay eggs, the moth must find another suitable plant. Two crops that will be very attractive will be soybeans and cotton. Wet weather usually tends to keep corn earworm population down but there will still be plenty to go around. A recent survey of com in this area showed that 18 per cent of com ears were infested. On an average acre of com, this could mean 4,400 moths emerging over a two week period. Each female moth is capable of laying about 1,000 eggs and there are about 15,000 acres of com in Chowan County. This works out to a potential 33 billion com earworms in Chowan County alone. Light trap catches have not shown many corn earworm moths yet, but catches are expected to increase rapidly during the first week of August. It is at this time that soybean growers should begin to scout their fields. There are many things that have an influence on whether a field will have enough com earworms to cause any damage. Anything that affects their growth and flowering date will also affect their at tractiveness to the moth and the number of eggs or survival of eggs deposited there. The only way to determine population in your field is to scout and to know what you are scouting for. Scouting schools will be offered in this area during the second week of August. Exact dates for surrounding counties and for Chowan County will be sent out or can be obtained by calling the Chowan County Agricultural Extension Office, 482-8431. It will be a good investment of your time to attend any one of these schools. L. Gary Taylor since 1966 and has been vice president and branch office manager in the Elizabeth City Office since 1970.
