Many of us would mot hesitate a minute to live over this past year, and most assuredly we would do some things we haven’t done and by the same token would not do some of the things we have done. But obviously this cannot be done. What we have done is done and what we have said cannot be recalled. The past year has been prosperous for some | folks, so that it is a happy reflection to look back. On the other hand, other people have had misfor tune, so that the reflection isn’t so happy. One cannot guarantee that the new year will be a prosperous and happy one. With the present con dition of world affairs, it is natural for us to be concerned about the possibility of another world war. Military experts, as a general rule, would have us believe that the Russians are not planning a war within the next twelve months, but even ex perts are sometimes wrong. There is nothing much that the average person can do about the world situation. Os course. we ; are resolved to support out government and the free peoples of the world. Regardless of cost, col ectively or individually, we will stand up and fight for our civilization which we know has presented us with great blessings without which modern life would be a burden and individuals would become slaves. It might be a good idea for us as individuals, as j we realize our impotency in the face of titanic forces, to resolve to make ourselves more efficient persons and thus more competent for whatever comes to hand. In the process we should not over look the spiritual and mental side of the human existence, nor concentrate unduly upon the physi cal. Man is a balanced composition of faculties not yet completely understood, but nevertheless capable of harmonious blending in the making of good men and women. What the year 1951 holds in store is not known, but if we in Chowan County, with the rest of the population of the C nited States, act intelligently, unselfishly and in unity, there is no peril ahead that cannot be mastered. We must stand together as we share losses, ex perience tragedy and bear grief. This is no day for selfish behavior and greedy goals. Let us live together with stout hearts, alert minds and uncon querable spirit —there will be no fate that we can not conquer. In this spirit The Herald wishes all a happy and prosperous New Year. The Basis We Need Self-righteousness is a too-expensive luxury in these inflated days. That goes for nations as well as for men. What we call the “free world” is well aware of the basic rightness of its cause in the global strug gle today. But there are strong differences of opinion between some of the free nations on the specific steps to be taken to meet the crisis, and no nation can assume that it alone has the answer. Hence the crucial importance of the United Nations at this time. Nor can the West afford to disregard the deep est convictions of the East in determining policy toward Communist aggression in Asia. Without humility we are lost—puny creatures running down blind alleys of hysteria, committing our major forces to minor aims, alienating millions who need to be won to our cause. With humility we stand at the threshold of a wisdom (and a power) greater than that of any person or party, nation or bloc. Much is expected of him to whom much is giv en, with nations as with men. May the citizens of each nation, in their appreciation of the values to be found within their own way of life and point of view, increasingly escape the temptation to say or think, “God, we thank Thee that we are not as other nations are.” Only as righteousness is seen to emanate from a divine, universal Principle and not to be a tribal possession does the one solid basis for collective action come to light.—Christiar Science Monitor. If thinking precedes talking, the human race would have to develop some new form of exercises for the tongue. the CHOWAN HERALD EDENTON, N. O, fHURSDAY.

In my “stocking” were quite a few very nice presents, all of which I appreciate, but one package came as a complete surprise, and if I ever get to Minneapolis, I’m going to ride trains on the Kansas City Southern Railway Company and Louisiana & Arkansas Railway Company. The present came from Harry H. Jordan, general agent for the railroads, and comprised a box of cigars (18-centers, too, if you please) and two decks of playing cards. The present traveled a long way and I hope Mr. Jordan sees this paragraph so that he knows that while I appreciate the present, I am more deeply grateful for the thought back of it. The cigars are rather unique in that they are triangular shaped, so if anybody sees me smoking one, it’s no reason to believe that I sat on the thing before smoking it. Some people are not very clear when asking for cer tain items. For instance, the other day a customer at the P & Q store walked up to the meat counter and asked Henry Quinn if he had any brains. “Why, of course, I have brains,” said Henry. “Oh, I mean hog brains,” replied the customer. “No, I have gray matter in the top of my head,” was Henry’s answer. Maybe the customer should have asked, “Have you any brains besides those you have in your head ?” O— Apparently a lot of people are saving pennies in Eden ton.
