THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1948. ~ THI S WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT GET IN TUNE WITH INFINITY: But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.—Heb. 2:20. Project All Should Support It is encouraging to learn that the Edenton Junior Woman’s Club is sponsoring a home, and garden tour to be conducted in Edenton and its environs some time in April, with the tour to be conducted under the auspices of the North Carolina Garden Club. Too long has Edenton hid its light under a bushel when there are here and roundabout just as interesting and outstanding colonial homes and historical sites as are to be found in other sections. The tour will, un doubtedly bring to Edenton many prominent people not only from North Carolina, but possibly adjoining states as well. The tour is an undertaking for which the Junior Woman’s Club is to be complimented for sponsoring. It is encouraging, too, to find that with the announcement made only this week, already 17 places will be avail able for the tourists to visit. There will, most as suredly be more as the time approaches for the tour and more interest develops. Though going for the tour with a determination that it will prove successful, members of the Junior Woman’s Club need the Cooperation of not only those people who will throw open their homes, but Citizens in general. They will, of course, want to present an attractive town to those who come to Edenton for the occasion, so that it is hoped people generally will tidy up their premises and where possible plant flowers to beautify grounds and gardens. The tour presents a splendid opportunity for Edenton and Chowan County to secure no little amount of pub licity, which can be favorable or unfavorable, just as the citizens desire. A little effort on the part of all will result in a neat and tidy town, and will necessarily im press those who come here and will enable them to go back to their homes carrying with them favorable and lasting impressions of what they have seen. We all should back the Junior Woman’s Club in their worthwhile undertaking. Let’s Be Careful! With the approach of Christmas, the Yuletide spirit naturally grips most of us, and in our desire to enjoy the festive season, it is easily possible to overlook hazards which may turn joy into grief and despair. What we have in Inind is the warning issued this week by Fire Chief R. K. Hall regarding Christmas tree decorations. Too much care cannot be exercised in decorating homes and trees in order to prevent fire, and this ever present hazard should not be overlooked in our plans for celebrating the great holiday. Just a little care and precaution can very easily spell the difference between joy or sorrow. Every individual requires some relaxation. The trouble is that some people don’t know how to get it. Issues are vastly more important than men, but it requires men to make issues. Planning for the future is the only way to improve the future. w • Jh’ ■** 'J.' ‘A’ \A* 'A* 'A< 'A* 'A 1 'A* 'A' 'A 1 'A*--1A 1 *i GENERAL |§ ELECTRIC 7 * 1 AUTOMATIC // (iM$ I; I vmmm.

EDENTCHL.M.. Cy THURSUaVa THE CEOX6L jONfeBL Heard & Seen By “Buff" i Just about the most surprised and delighted man in Edenton last Sunday was D. B. Liles, who was virtually swept off his feet when a group of relatives from Vir ginia walked in on him to celebrate his 80th birthday anniversary. He had a wonderful birthday dinner, in cluding dessert and the usual birthday cake decorated with candles. The strange part of it is that “they” brought the dinner. The group also cheered up D. B. by singing “Happy Birthday”. Then again on Monday night a group, from the Baptist Church called on D. B. to again sing “Happy Birthday”, which he enjoyed a lot. Os course, he received some presents, among which was a pair of suspenders. Now, he’s got to dig up enough cash to buy a pair of pants to put ’em on. o —, With so bloomin’ much rain lately, farmers and mer chants, too, are more or less singing the “blues”. But it’s not confined alone to the above group, for I heard an undertaker say the othrf day, “Christmas will be mighty dull with me unless somebody dies.” . i o ’ Yep, this is a small world, as was borne out at last week’s Rotary meeting. Commander Von Keller, in charge of the Edenton Naval Air Station, was a guest of Cal Kramer and, of course, Cal was introducing him to the Rotarians as they entered the Parish House. • Well, in came the Rev. W. L. Freeman, but before Cal , could introduce him, the preacher in a surprised sort i of manner exclaimed, “Well, I’ll be doggone, what in i the world are you doing here?”. You see, the com mander and the preacher served in the same outfit overseas in the recent war, and the last time they saw each other was in China. Neither knew that the other was in Edenton, and a fellow couldn’t get in a word edgewise as the two almost forgot to eat while they were reminiscing. Nope, it wasn’t a Christmas present when Paul Partin handed me a cigar the other day. _ It’s a boy, you know, and Paul didn’t have to be remanded about “paying off”. r>— I didn’t even make it strong enough last week when commenting about Paul Ober eating so many oysters at the Masonic oyster roast. Not' satisfied with what he ate, Friend Paul bought two more bushels to take home. That’s all right, but if I hear of him eating ’em before he went to bed that night, I’ll swoon. o Then Preacher Gilmer said he has a lot of friends, one of whom is a local lawyer. The latter offered to loan the preacher his belly the next time he (Mr. Gilmer) goes to an oyster roast. - o Spec Jones is a busy fellow these days toting around combinations of peanut products which make nice Christmas presents. He brought samples to show me the other day, but when opening up one package he dis covered that someone had snitched a bag of chocolate coated peanuts. Spec more or less copied the idea from Florida fruit growers who sell assortments of fruits packed in a box or basket. o With Rotarians filing in to last Thursday afternoon’s meeting at intervals/John Graham was kept very busy. He took with him to the meeting a box of cigars, and to be sure that every Rotarian got a smoke, he jumped up every time one of ’em entered the Parish House. It’s a daughter, you know’, and John promptly “paid up”. o My daddy celebrated his 81st birthday last Thursday and, of course, received quite a few birthday presents. One was rather surprising when one of our attractive ladies patted him on the shoulder and then kissed him. Gosh, think I ought to have a birthday today. - o I just wish I could be as happy and carefree as some of my colored friends. For instance, the other morn ing one of ’em was walking along singing all to him self. From what I could understand, his “song” went something like this: Got up this morning feeling bad, Asked the devil what I had— Ain’t got a pint. o Yea, it will not be long now until Christmas is here, and have you sent the money for those Christmas seals you received ? Why not' send a letter to Mrs. R. C. : Holland right now ? ; .* *jAl* 4l # 'A* 'A* # jA* *A* •Ml* *A* •A* *A* »A* *A* *A* •jfc* *A* •ad* ' | | | MUB mm By Tmi Kmtmg iniiiiinnnn[j In Nature the battle does not al ways go to the strong and fierce. I Consider the cottontail, and his vig orous ' prosperity, advises Byron Dalrymple, author of many outdoor articles. The well-loved little rabbit, known everywhere in the United# States and hunted from border to border and coast to coast by millions, is not, as he has always been portrayed, a cute little bunny of bedtime stories, or a cartoon character. He is actually a sly, crafty soldier of fortune who has padded silently about, chuckling in wardly over the hoax he has perpe trated upon his neighbor, including man. He has managed this great hoax by taking the role of forage beast in his world of enemies. He has aroused our sympathy and love by posing as the meekest of the meek, all the while prolifically reproducing his species. He has attained an enviable position in the world of wildlife; he consorts with mankind and prospers! We must assume shat the cotton tail started in some restricted terri tory. Yet today his beat covers al most every section of the United States—-and more. He has pushed his trails up mountain slopes of the West, out into southwestern deserts, felt his way into the cold of southern Canada, probed the tropics below our borders and on down into South America. No timid spirit ever colonized such vast, varied and dangerous lands. To the rabbit, every moment is filled with personal danger.

Yet %he leaves the mark of his hunger for adventure everywhere. He goes out in plain view of all the dangers which beset him. Perhaps his philosophy is primarily one of fateful resignation, but certain ly there’s nothing defeatist about it. Curiously, he holds a wry sort of na tural power block, for by suddenly stopping his breeding, he could starve his enemies and thereby shattering]y alter the entire wildlife economy.
