One Chowan College football i player was hospitalized and five j others were shaken up Thursday j night, October 24, when the car in which they were riding was forced into the ditch by an unidentified car. The accident occurred at 6; 30 p. m., at the intersection of High ways 158 and 258. Patrolman Floyd Owens reported the students were riding south on Highway 258 when a car ran a stop sign and crowded them into the ditch on the left side of the high way. The unidentified car con tinued on its way without stop ping. Joe Bland, 22, of Williamston, suffered an eye injury and facial cuts, and was admitted to Roanoke Chowan Hospital, Ahoskie. He was reported in satisfactory condition. Jim Martin, 19, Raleigh, sus tained cuts and bruises of the face and was treated by a Murfreesboro physician. Other students in the car were Jonas Franklin Edwards, 18, Route 1, Macclesfield (driver of the ve hicle); Phil Collins, Raleigh; Har old Smith, Cary; and Murphy Smith, Robersonville. Billy Parker of Stokes, also a passenger in the car is a Chowan student but not a member of the football team. Owens said that damage to the car operated by Edwards was esti mated at $500 and that the search for the escaped car was continuing. He explained that a license number reported by a bystander proved incorrect. Bland has been released from the hospital and at Press time is at home. A FORMULA Ordinarily it is more advantageous for a donor to make a living rather than testamentary gift to education. Oliver Wendell Holmes humorously expressed s u c h a thought when he wrote: “Learn to give “Money to colleges while you live. “Don’t be silly and think you’ll try “To bother the colleges, when you die, “With codicil this, codicil that, “What knowledge may starve while the Law grows fat; “For never was a pitcher that wouldn’t spill, “And there’s always a flaw in a donkey’s will.” Think of the Words As You Sing Hymns The singing of a hymn should be a great experience for us—it can be a prayer, a testimony, an invitatioa to others. However, for many of us, we don’t take seriously enough the words we sing. We sing “Onward Christian Sold iers” and wait to be drafted in His service. We sing “Oh For a Thousand Tongues’’ and we don’t use the one we have. We sing “There Shall Be Showers of Blessing” but do not come when its raining. We sing “Blest Be The Tie” and let the slightest offense sever it We sing “Serve The Lord With Gladness” and gripe about all we have to do. We sing “We’re Marching To Zion” but fail to march to Sunday School and Church. We sing “I Love To Tell The Story” and never mention it all year. We sing “Cast Thy Burden Oa The Lord” and worry ourselves in to nervous breakdowns. We sing ‘‘The Whole Wide World For Jesus” and never invite our next door neighbor to church. —Charity and Children INTElflGRAMI Check the correct word; l_Congress (has) (has not) revised wording in the Pledge to the Flag. ran t , 2 .The longest home run on record—587 teei— was hit by (Babe Ruth) (Ted Williams). 3—The average lifetime of Americans has m- creased (10) (20) years since 1900. 4 The Soviet Union (will) (will not) scrap its present Five-Year Plan. i - i -\ 5 The 1960 Olympics will be held m (Helsmki) (Rome). . , , , 6—The U.S. (is) (is not) the only country to use the dollar sign. 7 U.S. Navy battleships are named after (cities) (states). .
