Thursday. IHvcmU-r :W. 1982 The Bandon Chapel Notebook: Happy New Year To All by Maggie B. HAPPY NEW YEAR, '' NEIGHBORS! As this old . year ends and we look back on 1982 we find that all of us have made mistakes for which we'd like to make amends; we’ve failed in so many ways . to take time to do the things .. that could make life easier, more enjoyable for our fami ly, friends and neighbors. . Yes, we’ve all had good times and bad times - but -by the Grace of God, we have a New Year ahead of us! What are . we going to do with this New Year? Let’s pray that we will try to do better and ac . complish more, be kinder and wiser. Helen Steiner Rice penned this verse entitled “Time Is A Gift From God”. Share it with me: “We stand once more on the threshold of a shining and unblemished year, Untouched yet by Time and Frustration, unclouded by Failure and Fear ... How will we use the days of this year and the Time God has placed in our hands. Will we waste the minutes and squander the hours, leaving ‘no prints behind in time’s sands’. .. Will we vainly complain that Life is So Swift, that we haven’t the Time To Do Good, Our days are too crowded, our hours are too short to do All The Good Things we should . . . We say we would pray if we just had the time, and be kind to all those in need, But we live in a world of ‘Planned Progress’ and our national password is ‘Speed’. .. God, grant us the grace as another year starts to use all the hours of our days, Not for our own selfish interests and our own willful, often wrong ways ... But teach us to Take Time for Praying and to find time for Listening To You. So each day is spent well and wisely doing What You Most Want Us To Do.” —O — On this balmy Lord’s Day waters of the mighty Chowan were still - not a ripple anywhere! Tall Cypress trees with hanging Spanish Moss were reflected in the water as was the almost cloudless sky -a beautiful sight! Birds were singing their joyful melodies while the squirrels frolicked on the lawn. A yellow breasted Woodpecker was pecking on a Pine tree, pick ing out his own song or praise. As fine’s kings filled with., clean, fresh air,lhe heart was overflowing with thanksgiv ing for the beauty of God’s handiwork and His countless blessings. A perfect day to enter the church of your choice to praise God for sen ding us His Greatest Gift - Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. The fine folk gathered at Bandon Chapel for Sunday School were joyfully welcom ed by our radiant Asst. Supt., Judy Faye Nelson. The Christmas Spirit was alive on this Sunday after Christmas, warming the hearts of all by its presence. - The adult lesson, “Jesus . Begins His Ministry’’, Luke 4:1-15, taught by Margaret ' Bunting, brought out that Jesus overcame the Devil Views On Dental Health Richard N. Hines, Jr. D.D.S. Fellow of The Academy of General Dentistry First Sign Os A Future Cavity You want to be able to keep your teeth free of decay and minimize the number of fillings and other restorations, but this problem is difficult to solve without professional help. For example, if you could detect the first sign of a future cavity you’d be ahead of the game. The first noticeable sign is a white spot on the unbroken surface of a tooth. The outer enamel of a tooth is much denser than the inside, which is composed of a tooth mineral rich in calcium. Once the acid that causes decay breaks the outer barrier, however, and a cavity begins to form, the tooth must be restored and protected with a Ail ing. .Even before the white spot appears, con siderable mineral within "We Cater To Cowards” when tempted by him - and so can we - when we imitate Christ by holding up the Word of God. Basic bible truth discovered was that the Bible is a powerful resource in times of personal testing. Prayer List: All we have to do is tell God our troubles - there is nothing He won’t understand. We ask that His Will be done - His mercy and love never fail. Please add our friends to your prayer list. A1 Driscoll of Chowan Beach will enter Norfolk General Hospital this week to prepare for amputation of his leg. Say a very special prayer for him; please remember “Uncle Willie” Bunch; Darrell Britt; Emil Gacki; Madlyn Moriari ty; Joe Harris; Jennifer Ad- cock; Elton Boswell; Toby Rogerson; Percy Smith; Edith Bright; Rachel Chandler; Larry Chandler; Guy Edwards; Joan O’Neal; Peggy Hampton; and Garland Asbell.

Tom Hupp, Pastor of Wilson Mills Baptist Church and his family; and to our delightful first timer, Mrs. Anna May Boyce of Tyner, whom Pastor Bob’s daughter, Robin, calls “Granny”. We hope you en joyed our service and will return soon. -Cl- Our Worship Service was one to be remembered. Ban don’s Shepherd, Rev. Robert S. Harrell, read Luke 2:1-14. The Pastoral Prayer was given by Rev. Tom Hupp. Pastor Bob then asked: “Have you ever wondered what the name of the man was that let them stay in the the tooth may have been lost to decay. That’s one reason why regular dental checkups are recommended. Under the professional eyes of your dentist, problems can be discovered in their early stages when they are much easier and much less costly to treat. Left untreated, dental decay can cause havoc. It can and will only get worse. Dentistry is one area of medicine where potential problems can be “seen” before they get out of hand. A public service with the aim of promoting better dental health environment. From the office of: KHiIAKI) N. IIINKS, JR.. l>.li.M, 437 South Broad St.. Kdoatou Phone: 452-Z77*. stable? Have you ever thought about how many com mon, ordinary, run-of-the-mill people played a part in the First Christmas? “We don’t know WHO owned the stable but we do know be was sen sitive to the needs of his fellowmen and a resident of Bethlehem. As we read about all the bad things that are happening in this world today, we have a tendency to shrug our shoulders and say “I can’t do anything about it”. Then, we read about how average, ordinary people during this First Christmas season played out their part and were involved in events that chang ed history. God only asks that you do the best you can and when the opportunity comes, DO your thing! Pastor Bob continued by reading a sermon preached in 1943 by Armand L. Currie en titled “The Man Who Owned The Stable”. This reading was beautiful! It was so mov ing and meaningful a resume would not do it justice. In my opinion, it should become a continuing part of our Christmas celebration. A solo entitled “Dear Baby Jesus” was sung by Miss Vicky Nelson, accompanied by Mrs. Janie Harrell at the piano. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you, Vicky. A New Year’s Eve Watch Night Service will be held Fri day, Dec. 31st., starting at 10:00 P.M. Invite your friends to join us on this special night. On Sunday, January 2,1963, we will observe Holy Commu nion. Let us take time this week for meditation and prayer to prepare ourselves to partake of the sacraments of the Lord’s Supper.

There is a growing feeling that the illegal alien problem has gotten out of hand, and that mass importations of refugees from Cuba, Southeast Asia and Haiti have raised a fear of being over whelmed by foreigners. Past efforts to solve the il legal alien problem have been limited to finding as many possible and deporting them; but the Border Patrol has not had the resources to stem the tide. Only a small percentage of those who enter or stay here illegally get caught; and many quickly return after a free trip home. When they claim to be political refugees, it’s nearly impossible to deport them. During the past two years, the Reagan administration and the Congress have cooperated in the develop ment of legislation that makes it illegal for anyone to hire a so-called “un documented worker,” and would place civil and criminal penalties on employers who knowingly did it. Some industrials, like agriculture, which require large numbers of workers on a seasonal basis, have become highly dependent upon documented workers. It’s estimated that un documented workers repre sent around 15 per cent of the hired workforce in agriculture, but only con stitute about 7 or 8 per cent of such workers employed in the total economy. Although legislation to reform the Immigration Act was not on the agenda during the recent “lame duck” ses sion, it is expected to be taken up by the new Congress. Among other things, any such legislation should include a workable procedure for being in temporary foreign workers on a timely basis when U.S. citizens cannot be recruited to do the necessary work on farms.

Clark, secretary of the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, announced that $1,227,400 has been authorized in the 1983 federal budget for North Carolina under the Emergency Management Assistance Program. Chowan County will receive $7,591. Clark said, “Through economies initiated on the state level, we will be forwar ding more money this year to counties participating in the program than we have been able to give them in the past. “We believe that when it comes to emegencies, it is the counties who bear the brunt of responding to them, and they should receive the largest portion of this grant to sup port their local programs,” Clark said. Tom Pugh, director of the Division of Emergency Management, said, “This Page 3-A ty council reporter, introduc ed Edith Cowper, Interna tional Farm Youth Exchange to Spain and from Gates County.

That is an in crease of $79,153 more than the 1982 allocation to the coun ties of $767,753. In addition, this represents 69 per cent of the total allocation, an in crease over last year’s percentage allocation. "We are working hard in Raleigh to increase the coun ties’ share of this money,” Pugh said, “because we realize their needs are great ” The Emergency Manage ment Assistance Program is designed to encourage local governments to employ pro fessional staffs to design and administer their comprehen sive emergency management programs. Each county provides mat ching funds to the federal grant money. “Moonlight is sculpture.'*, Nathaniel Hawthorne
