ATjTT~FOR^TObAY Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. —John 8:31. Personal acceptance of Christ is the secret of real lib erty. If we abide in Him and His message, continuing to be his faithful disciples, then shall we enter into the Truth that frees us from the bondage of sin. O Cod, open our eyes to the beauty «)f our earthly home, and let us feel more keenly and reverently Thy presence that we may work with Thee in making it more like the heavenly home Thou hast prepared for us. Making Progress Every person becomes a potential killer when he gets behind the wheel of an automobile, but statistics show that young people have more than their share of acci dents. Roughly, a car in the hands of an under-25-year old is twice as dangerous as a car driven by a mature adult. But, while young people are generally.condemned for bad driving habits, there is too little being done to teach them the good habits. Safety is a personal thing. It’s up to the individual. Safety is a constant thing, or it should be. There can be no let-down where human lives are at stake. One of the more encouraging aspects of the never ending fight for traffic safety is that our schools have assumed willingly a responsibility for teaching our young people the “do’s and don’ts” of driving. Nearly every school in the country now teaches safety, to some extent at least. We congratulate the school faculty for bringing to their students the fine safety program which was pre sented Tuesday of this week. And we applaud the. stu dents for their interest in the program. When schools throughout the nation follow this lead, perhaps we can make some headway in the battle against traffic deaths. But until then —until traffic safety is in cluded with the “three R’s” in the regular curriculum — the slaughter on our highways will continue. Delightful Affair Various methods are used by practically every organ ization in Edenton to raise funds, but just about the most pleasant and successful was the benefit breakfast held in the Penelope Barker house Saturday morning. Despite the inclemency of the weather, folks began about 7 o’clock to journey to the historic house, to eat breakfast and a steady stream continued until almost 10 o’clock. The breakfast was sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Woman’s Club and the Busi ness and Professional Woman’s Club, and each group is very well pleased with the success of the venture. A goodly sum was realized, which will be applied: to the Penelope Barker house indebtedness, the folks who went there were served a generous and satisfying break fast and enjoyed the general hospitable and friendly at mosphere which permeated the old building from front to rear. It was a very pleasant gathering and members of the three sponsoring organizations desire to express their thanks and appreciation to all who in any way contri buted to the success of the affair. Money is worth only what it will buy, the economist says, and we feel that is sufficieanit. The truth is often less sensational than rumor or gos sip and the latter seems preferred. The reason some people are annoyed at what children say is due to the fact that children too often come out with the truth. *■-*> i*> i~m*i i~» i~>i~i n <~i r»r»«-inr>nr>nnnnnnnrtrt am m >^v^(^>) - >< -^ O _ A) - Lnj _ u - u - u - u - un _ n^rLn _ n _ r| n.nji^i,^ J nj^jT.jv~i-rV~i_ru^i_-j-^- L T_n_ | WANT TO BUY!

CL THUMOAT FEBRUARY 26^1963^ Heard & Seen BV “Buff’* * j * Although life is sprinkled with disappointments, heart aches and sorrow, it also at some time or other provides joy and pleasant surprises, one of the latter being ex perienced by mfe Tuesday night. Upon arriving home after work I suddenly came upon a group of Mends who gathered at my home to celebrate my birthday (the “48th”?) It really was a surprise and, of course, one of my duties was to open a lot of birthday presents. A fellow should show some, appreciation for presents, even if he don’t like ’em, so that I want to especially thank the person who packed a can of chitterlings in a very at tractive package. Gosh dam, I didn’t even know they packed the bloomin' things in tin cans. Well, that’s a good way to get rid of ’em, I reckon. Anyway, I have a can of “good” chitterlings for sale—“chip.” o— *— I don’t know what kind of herfa Lee Sutton has but they sure do put out a strange assortment of eggs. Friend Lee brought me a dozen Saturday, one be ing about the size of two eggs. Another one of the eggs was half one color and the other half a different color. Just a little more of a variety,of color and he'll be able to sell Easter eggs already colored. There’s always some kind of labor saving devices cropping up, you know. o Old like I am, one of the colored boys who works in The Herald office, asked for some advice the other day. “(Mr. Bufflap, what should a young fellow do when he has a fallin’-out with his girl friend?” he asked. My an swer was “In a lot of cases the best thing to do is jump for joy.” - o Speaking about family squabbles, another one almost developed at my home Friday. If I ever had a good neighbor, it is Mrs. Charlie Hughes. She has often of fered her assistance and many times ha s brought to my home some very nice lood. On Friday she brought over a helping of chitterlings and they were placed in front of my plate when I went home for dinner. Although some what camouflaged, I recognized the things and at once took ’em on the back porch to give to my dog. And don’t you know, the dog took one whiff, turned up his nose and walked away. However, the things disappeared and I think the Missus ate ’em. I can’t exactly prove it, for I haven’t kissed her for three days. o My name in time fcast surely has been butchered up, hut even if an “F” is omitted, a “P” added or some of the other letters substituted for another, the post card or Setter usually gets to me. But last week somebody ap parently wanted to be sure I received a letter and, while my name was correctly spelled, an extra line wa s added, “News, Scandal and Gossip.” o It was a rough time on pancakes Saturday morning when a benefit breakfast was Served in the Penelope Barker house. A steady stream of customers went to the place from 7 to 10 o’clock and it would be interesting to know just how many pancake s were served. Anyway, everybody had a good breakfast and the three sponsor ing clubs realized a tidy sum to apply to the Penelope Barker house indebtedness. Everybody got a belly full and the three sponsoring clubs got some jack. o- Mrs. West Byrum’s grocery bill should not worry her for a week or two at least Wednesday night of last week she won the Colonial Stores’ television Movie Quick Quiz prize which was a certificate for SSO worth of food. And to boot, she won three electrical appliances for knowing one of the managers’ namee. Ain’t some peo ple lucky ? I wanted to call around and congratulate her but I am afraid if I went there I’d be too much tempted to dig up her beautiful camellia bush in the front yard. o Speaking about the benefit breakfast Saturday morn ing in the Penelope Barker house, a letter was received this week signed “An Enthusiastic Pancake Breakfaster.” Here 'tis: “There never was anything like in it Edenton before— the Barker House Pancake Breakfast. ‘As everyone knows, the three organisations compos ing the Barker House Association are moving heaven and earth to get the home, given to the community by Haywood Phthisic arid Henry Quinn, open and ready for use. There are, however, problems to face—'bills to meet and funds which are continually running low. “The breakfast idea started with George Alma By rum, who likes pancakes, and everything was against it. The Barker House hadn’t been cleaned up since It Hi m ° V€d -’ , and there wasn,lt a stick of furniture in it, much (leas cooking equipment. (But the Jay cees are nothing it not valient. They offered to cleAn the building and move everything there for the party. The Business and Professional Woman - and the Woman’s Club fell right in with the idea. Everybody .and every thing cooperated, except the weather -wit rained! “But were PanoAke BreAkf alters de terred, (Not in the least. They began to arrive by seven o’clock in automo biles. taxicabs, and under umbrellas. They found a gracious old bouse with glowing fires in both front rooms where breakfast was served. They also found a lot of smiling, pleasant young women waiting to take care of them. And they found a bang-up hot breakfast consisting of tomato juice, sausage, pancakes, syrup and coffee —all you could eat. “TheiWorld and His Wife—and lots of their children were there. They had a grand time, and they hope the Barker House Association will soon put on something else as pleasant and unique as the Pancake Breakfast.” 1 Ordination Service At Chappell’s Hill Church March Ist The public is invited to attend the ordination service for four new deac ons at the Chappell's Hill 'Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, March 1, at 3 o’clock.
