Scoutin' A round
By PETER * * CARLTON
Thirty-one little voices lifted in- song—thirty-one little fourth
grade boys and girls singing “I’m Proud of Edenton—ls Edenton
Proud of Me?” The little Sid Campens and the Tay Byrums and
the Dolly Kehayeses and the Bobby Smiths, symbolic of all the chil
dren, replicas of their parents —but with each his or her own little
personality. Thirty,-one little voices repeating the 23rd Psalm —
thirty-one voices making a “joyful noise unto the Lord” and asking
the question which needs no answer—“know ye that the Lord He is
tpflfb prayer of a little chap—invoking the blessing of the’Lord be-
fore pursuing the daily task of school
work —“God we thank thee for our

teacher (Mrs. Lloyd Griffin) —we
thank thee for our parents and for
our free schools. We thank thee that
we live in a nation where we can go
to school. Help those who can’t
Lord.” Yes, Edenton is proud of
you—all of you, Sid and Tay and
Dolly and Bobby and each of the
thirty-one of you. Yes, Edenton is I
proud of its teachers and school sys- 1
tem. Your fathers and mothers rea
lize that there is always room for ad
vancement and that is why We have
our Parent-Teacher organization, the I
Lions, Rotary, Farm Bureau, Cham- ]
bor of Commerce and Merchants’ As- '
j soeiation and the Junior Woman’s
. Club and the many others, too num
erous to mi ntiyi'h, all working toward
the common goal Os making this a
better world for you to live in.
We’re not good_ at counting
noses, hut the whole body of the j
Baptist Church and the wings,
too, were filled by members of
the Chowan and West Chowan
Baptist Associations. With the
sentiment expressed and the re
sultant vote, with the exception
of a few dissenting voices, there
is no doubt that it is the desire
of the great majority to continue
with Chowan College. Those who
make predictions stick their
necks out and then often wished
they had kept their “big fat”
mouths closed. I’m no Baptist—
but even I was filled by the fire
of the sentiment felt and ex
pressed by the mass. When'that
little fellow got up and said, “I’m
only a little farmer boy, I’ve

never been to college. I don’t
have a dime Ln my pocket, but we
have SSO in our treasury. My
vote is you can have it so that
other kids may get a chance to
go to college.” I could hardly
keep from letting out a war
whoop of approval. I had all I
* could do to stay glued to my seat
and keep my big fat mouth from
yelling out “by gadzooks, with
spirit such as this boy expressed
and of the majority of the good
Baptist brethren present, you
can’t fail.” No sir, if each and
every person who was present
took home just a bit of the fire
aroused at this meeting—the
twenty-five years of indifference
(as someone expressed it) would
be a thing of the past, and the
kids of Northeastern North Car
olina would have their chance at
an education—a good one—that
can be given at Chowan. Let’s
go Baptists—Let’s go good ole
Chowan!

The project chosen for this month
by the Young Woman’s Bible Class
of the Edenton Baptist Church, which
met recently with Mrs. W. C. Bunch,
| twenty-seven members present, was
1 that of remembering the sick and
“shut-ins.” (This is a worthwhile pro
gram and when once it is understood
how much it means to be remembered
I when one is down on his or her back,
|or out of circulation due to some
physical ailment, it should be a most
forceful reminder that perhaps we
could even make this worthy project
a part of our all year round program.
It is amazing how priceless fruit,
ice cream, candy, flowers, books, mag
azines and cigarettes if you smoke,
become to the “shut-in”. How about
| that—-some of you folks who have
had a long dose of illness some time
in your lives ?)

H. A. Dampen, Deputy Grand
Master of Masons, officiated at
two Masonic burials last week,
which were well attended. Re
ports from eyewitnesses describe
the ceremonies as beautiful, dig
nified and exalted. They say that
the words of the Deputy as he de
posits the pure white lambskin on
the bier are most touching and
inspiring. The lambskin apron
which is given to each member
symbolizes innocence and purity.
o
The neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Lester JForehand rejoice with them on
their 27th wedding anniversary, which
took place on March 10. This is a
most fitting example of marital hap
piness for our young folks and is en
couraging proof that the institution
of marriage is one of the key factors
to success in the "American” way of
life.
Due to circumstances beyond 1
the control of this writer, it was
impossible to give credit to the
Albemgrle colored quartet of
Edenton for the splendid back
ground singing on our “Let’s Be
Neighborly” program last Sunday
over Station WCNC. ’ What did
you think of them? (Our time
ran out). This seems to be one
of those times when a 15-minute
program seems to fly by before
you really get wound up. Inci-

about having news items about

ness membership.” J. E. Baker,

don’t know how to go about ir. They
are advised to talk; with any member
