Page Four THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, February 12, 1971 THE NEW BERN MIRROR Publlthad Every Friday at 4lu Johnson Streer New Bern, N. C., by the Sole Owner J. GASKILL McDaniel Editor and Pubiltlw SUBSCRIPTION RATES: On* Y**r . >2.50 Second Class Postage Paid at New Bern, N. C. WELL TIMED Starting the Heart Fund drive along about Valentiries Day is appropriate, to say the least. Of course, it’s sort of disconcerting to be reminded that even the most romantic ticker is apt to act up from afflictions other than love, but such is the unfortunate case. It is gratifying to see outstanding civic leaders in our various communities join forces to further a cause as worthy as this one. Those who have assumed, responsibility for the drive’s success are busy people, but busy people are the only folks you can really count on. Just as vital to the Heart Fund as the publicized leaders are the many volunteers who solicit in their neighborhoods. Their only com^nsation is the warming awareness that they are devoting a portion of their time and energy to helping their fellow man. 'The solicitor who calls on you for a contribution will, of course, make a contribution too. The chances are that his or her gift to the Heart Fund will surpass yours, but whether your contribution is small or large it will be a big help. Don’t treat the neighbor who knocks on your door in this instance like a panhandler trying to shake you down. Whether you give or not is your business, but rudeness—with or without a contribution—is inexcusable. Looking at the Heart Fund from a selfish angle, if that is the way you want to look at it, it should be obvious that the money so provided might save or prolong your own life. In fact, research already done—thanks to Heart Fund support—has increased your chances to remain among the living for a longer spell. Have a heart, and give the Heart Fund the Valentine gift it needs. PRAYERS FOR BREAKFAST Grace is said at noon and evening meals in most New Bern homes, but we’ve been wondering how many families take time during the haphazard breakfast rush to offer thanks to God. Especially during the months from September to June, the morning meal is apt to be punctuated by utter disorder and mutual uncongeniality. Parents are grumpy, kids are milling madly to avoid tardiness at school, and in the excitement the toast gets burned to a blackened crisp. No one of tender years in the household is the least bit interested in eggs, be they poached, fried or scrambled. And Mom and Pop, glowering at each other like a couple of demons, set a poor example for proper eating when they restrict their digestive intake to a pot of strong coffee. All of this could be avoided by getting out of bed a half hour earlier than usual—or better still an hour earlier. It may not make you healthy, wealthy and wise, as a well remembered nursery rhyme promises, but it can do surprisingly nice things to your disposition. You’ve heard some of your friends say, almost boastfully, that “everybody at our house knows better than to say anything to me early in the morning.’’ Perhaps you’ve made the same remark, and felt rather superior and strong willed about this shameful facet of your personality. Let’s face it. Those of us who can’t be civil when first we wake once more to the daylight splendor of God’s wonderful world are in need most of all of a swift kick in the pants. It’s neither clever nor sensible to behave tike a disgruntled bear when morning rolls around. After all, the chances are we’ve had a night of restful and uninterrupted slumber. The fact that we’re able to be up ana complaining is proof that the Creator Who designed us and gave us the breath of life has .seen fit to give us another day among the ranks of the living. It should be an hour of gratitude for so many things. That’s why all of usMncluding ungrateful newspaper editors—can do worse than say grace at breakfa.st to start the new day right.

It's true that childhood loves at best are only temporary, But little boys and little girls arc seldom mercenary; They treasure simple, trivial things a grown-up throws away, Unmindful of the price tag that someone had to pay. Yes, love is alway.s sweetest when a kid of eight or nine Shyly scrawls the name of Mary on a penny Valentine; A flaming heart she’ll view with pride, forever more to keep. While grown ups throw the things they get upon a garbage heap. —JGMcD. Biggs. Ben Ballance, Bryan Isdmondson, Simon Fdmondson. Edward_ and F.Hzabetb -Edmondson. By .loshua Fulcher. Admr.
