THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1950 THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT LET YOUTH BE ADVISED: Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.— Prey. 3:16. Atomic Power Much is heard and read these days about atomic power, so that The Herald gladly yields space in this column this week to an article written by Mrs. Julian Wood. Sayß Mrs. Wood: I “A conservative morning paper says the H-bomb could kill everyone in the world, according to four top scien tists, Dr. Hans Bethe, Dr. Frederick Seitz, Dr. Leo Szil ard and Dr. Harrison D. Brown. “Nothing compares, so far as we know, or has ever com pared in magnitude or destructive power to the atomic H-bomb. Therein lies its greatest danger, for it para lyses in advance the will of mankind. ‘What’, we ask, ‘can one individual do against it?’ ‘Nothing,’ we answer, ‘absolutely nothing.’ This is not the answer of a man with a working belief in the power of God. God sayjs ■concerning the works of my hand command thou me. How can we ‘command’ God? By taking Him at His word, in ‘good faith,’ by the prayer of faith, each indi vidual—singly; by using Him. Every known miracle has been ’worked’ by faith of the individual. There is no power in a multitude of people unless the power be in the individual. It is true of faith. “So, in love, for the sake of mankind, let us try it sing ly and at' regular times, let us pray the very first thing in the morning before we get out of bed and the last thing at night. And at appointed times and with very small groups .who think as we think. And do not laps'! or relax whether we do or do not get immediate results, as we are so apt to do, and do not let us talk needlessly! or lightly about it or debate it with those who differ with us. “Each of us is an unexploded supei atomic bomb. Each of us has God given power. Let us have faith to use it! “A Christian with at atom of faith.” One More Will Not Hurt One can hardly keep track of the numerous holidays listed on the calendar, but Th e Herald goes along with the movement under way to set aside at least a portion of Good Friday as a holiday. One more holiday will hardly make the country go to the dogs. We celebrate the birth of Christ, but were it not. for His death and subsequent exit from the tomb, dark and gloomy, indeed, would be our outlook. As a Christian nation it should be our desire to give’ (VWVWWV'A^wvwwvwwwwww a ji*vwf | ? (mp \ M M QUIET 100 h.p. V-8.

N C, THURSDAY! MARCH 16, 1960. xleard & Seen By “Buff” Here’s one who has had real headaches over the past two week-ends. The first was caused by a good dose of the tiu, and the latter all on account of wading in figures knee deep to figure put The Herald’s income tax return as well as personal returns. I’m not saying which one is the worst. Anyrway, with two dependents, my wife and father, gone, old Uncle Sam will work on‘ me next year with only myself as an exemption. I’ve just got to a way out— oh, I have it. M marry a woman with a house full of little kids. That would save me a lot of “trouble” and also save some money. o And speaking about marriage, I was gently informed Wednesday morning that the reason I am building a new house is to bring in'a brand new bride just as soon as the house is completed. Now wouldn t (that be a dumb stunt? Were that the reason for building Id marry the gal before the house is finished in order to give her a chance to help move and clean up the joint. Strange things happen, however, but who in the hell is foreman of the rumor factory? Why, I was even told the name of the gal I was to marry. How do you do, Mrs. O Just about the most distressing news I’ve heard lately is the resignation of the Rev. Harold W. Gilmer as rector of old St Paul’s Church, which means that he will leave Edenton shortly after October 1, when his resignation goes into effect. If there is any person who shared my re cent misfortune any more than Preacher Gilmer or a.ny 3ne who offered any more consoling sympathy, 1 just don’t know who it could be. I remember him among my dearest friends and here’s one who regrets exceedingly that he will soon be leaving the community. o- Miss Elizabeth Moore made a splendid speech Tuesday night ait Town Council meeting when she rehearsed the desire of the Junior Woman’s Club to beautify the Court House Green. She also had a drawing of the Green and from the size of the thing I’m almost of the opinion that the paper war. stretched across the plot and traced. Any- Svay, the women were given the green light to make what improvements they see fit. o Mr« John W. Graham, on behalf of the Junior Women’s Club, also made a good speech. Among her remarks she enlisted financial aid to pay for a summer playground supervisor. She stated that last year a request was made too late, after the budget had been adopted, and that this year they were making it in plenty of time. Well, it was too laite last year, and maybe it’s too early this year. However, the ladies are very good at remembering. Speaking about income tax returns, they are, or at least better be, sent in by this time. And if all the money listed as church contributions and charity were actually given, maybe we would not be bothered by a collection plate being shoved in front of us at every service. Lots of people, no doubt, are very “generous” toward the church along about the time income returns are filled out. With the baseball diamond at Hicks Field already in good shape and the Norfolk Tars scheduled to soon ar rive for spring training, the baseball bug will no doubt soon begin to crawl. Well, if there are any important meetings to be held, better get ’em in before the Eden ton Colonials begin to play. thanks to God for His Son, who suffered an ignominious death on the cross, so that we, through Him, can have eternal life. It is no more than fitting that a time be set aside on each Good Friday to pray and contemplate the terrible suffering of Jesus Christ and what God in His infinite wisdom has done for us. _ Many Veterans Ask : About Diridendsi 1 . * Serial Number Not True i Indication When the 1 Checks Arrive j With the recent announcement that the special National Service Life In surance dividend payment program . was running ahead of schedule and that the half-way point had already ' been reached, non-receipt inquiries have been flooding in from low-ser- 1 vice-number veterans, Stephen H. Al- ■ ford, District Officer of the North Carolina Veterans Commission has announced. Mr. Alford states that there are a . number of necessary exceptions to the lowest service serial numbers first. In order to get the program started on schedule, certain cut-off dates had to be set on placing applications into the payment production line. In each of these groups, payment was started to the lowesit service numbers first where at all possible. That means that some veterans with serial num bers ending in 999 were receiving payments before those with lower ter minal digits in their serial numbers. Had that plan not been instituted, it is safe to say that no payments would have gone out yet because many thou sands have not yet filed applications. There have been other exceptions such as the mechanical limitations im posed by the fact that the program is being handled mostly by business ma chines. For instance, the machines processing the applications can hold names which contain only up to 15 letters. ißeyond that, they must be hand processed which is a much slow er process. Another large delay factor is change of address. If this address change is sent to the Insurance Ser ' vice in Washington, each affected case has to be pulled out of the pro duction line, the change made and then started all over again. As previ ously announced, special arrange ments were made with the Post Of fice Department for the forwarding of the National Service Life Insur ance dividend check only. A regular post office change of address card properly completed and left with the post office of last address will insure receipt of the dividend check. How ever, it should be remembered that this special handling applies only to this dividend check. The law still hold that all other type Government checks cannot Be forwarded by a post master. t The District Office of the North Carolina Veterans Commission, 206 Kramer Building, Elisabeth City, North Carolina, or J. L. Wiggins, County Service, Officer, Edenton will gladly assist veterans with their insurance problems or other veterans’ benefits. 98 Arrests Made By ' Police In February Ninety-eight arrests were made by Edenton police in February, acocrding to the report of Chief of Police George Dail.
