THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1953 A LIFT FOR TODAY Despise not the chastening of thfe Lord, neither be weary of his correction. —Prov. 3:11. . , , Experience is the Lord’s school; they who are taught by Him usually learn by the mistakes they make that they have no wisdom; by their slips and falls they have no strength.—John Newton. ... We are grateful to Thee, O Lord, for chastening us, we know that Thou art lovingly teaching us the lessons Os life. | . || . |nl __ _ . -, r nr JIJ.I jiji.nnruugun)nnriu Ji.r T - Flag Was Dollar. Bill Much ado has been made over the execution of the Rosenberg spy team, who, like Benedict Arnold, betrayed their country and were subject to the prescribed penalty for their infamous act. According to reports, crowds held demonstrations, pick ets were parading around and a general uproar made on the part of sympathizers that they should not be exe cuted. These same people carried on in the wrong place. If they do not like to see justice carried out, they should go to Russia to do their yelling and parading. The Rosenbergs received the benefit of a fair trial and the case was dragged through every court in the land. Quite a different story that this same crowd might ex pect in Russia. For instance the following Associated Press item appeared in the papers last week: ORGANIZER EXECUTED Berlin June 18.—A Russian firing squad to day executed a German accused by the Soviet Army Command of organizing anti-Communist riots in East Berlin. Maj. Gen. P. T. Dibrova, now ruling East Berlin under a state of siege, announced the execution. The Soviet general described the dead man, Willi Goettling, as “a resident of West Berlin who worked on order of a foreign intelligence service, was one of the active organizers of provocations and disturbances in the Soviet Sec tor of Berlin, and participated in the violent banditry against the organs of power and the population.” One spectator at the funeral of the Rosenbergs aptly remarked, “They should have Russian flags in there in stead of the American flag.” From all appearances the Rosenberg flag was the dollar bill, and at that tainted by Red Moscow. Without doubt, Rosenberg sympathizers will regard the- spy team as heroes or martyrs, but they were plain betrayers of their country 1 , and the penalty was justly carried out. We have no room in America, although they are here, of the Rosenberg type of Americans. The more prejudice a man has, the louder he talks about his tolerance. Not every man who praises democracy believes in his own doetrines. Intelligence is the art of being able to judge a speech by what is said, not by how loud it is said. A gifted mind is one that easily discovers plausible excuses.

GUY C. HjbBBS, Mgr. “YOUR JOHN DEERE DEALER” EDENTON I I PAGE Four THE CHOWAN HERALD, BDHNHO& N. C., THURSDAY JUNE 25,1958. Heard & Seen! By “Buff” m j One good thing about rumors is that more often than not, there are nothing to them. Such was the case last wek when a rumor went the rounds that Cecil Miller, special delivery messenger at the Post Office, one of the National Guard boys at Camp McClellan in Alabama, was killed when a truck ran over him. In checking up it was learned that Cecil was very much alive and going through camp routine just like the other boys. And speakipg about the National Guard m camp, here s one who joins the wives and sweethearts of the boys in welcoming them back home next Sunday. Many of em will be greeted with kisses and I’ll almost feel like kiss ing Pete Manning, The Herald’s Intertype operator, who is a member of the outfit. For two weeks I’ve been do ing his work, as well as mine, so that if there’s anything left of me by Sunday, I’ll be one who will welcome him back on his job. o Boxes at the Post Office were very prominent the other day. In placing the box rent notices, the card was slap ped flat against the window so that nobody could over look the things. A day or two later a reminder was equally conspicuously placed in the box, so if that don’t work, some of the boxes will be locked. Better pay Uncle Sam! o A change is noted in the Post Office personnel, too. Parker Helms has disappeared from the crew and in his place Frank Twiddy is shuffling around the place. Post master David Holton was very complimentary about the kind of employee Parker has been, and he, for one, re gretted to see him leave to enter the insurance business. Gosh darn. For many years we’ve had a fisherman in our midst and I didn’t know about it. Miss Rebecca Col well, former Chowan County Home Agent, now stationed at New Bern, was a week-end visitor and stopped in The Herald office for a few minutes. She told me she went fishing at Morehead City a while back. “What luck?” I asked her. But reluctantly she replied, “Well, I didn’t catch anything.” Another reason why I like to go fish ing around here as well as anywhere else I’ve ever been. And speaking about fishing, I heard a fellow say the other day he had caught a few fish, while his partner couldn’t even get a bite. In order to save the day the unlucky fisherman asked his partner to throw him a few of the fish from one end of the boat to the other so that he could say he “caught” them. But even then he might have made an error. o Jimmy Barrow, who is serving Uncle Sam in Korea, sent in the following poem the other day: BIRD’S EYE VIEW OF KOREA Just off the blue Pacific, ‘ Korea, that is the spot. Where we are doomed to serve our time, In that Ignd that God forgot. _ _ Out with the snakes and lizards, Out where a man gets blue. Right in the middle of nowhere, And ten thousand miles from you. We sweat, freeze and shiver, It’s more than a man can stand. We’re not supposed to be gooks, Just defenders of our land. We’re airmen of the Fighting 51st, Earning our monthly pay. Guarding people with millions, For only a few bucks a day. Living with our memories, Waiting to see our gals, Hoping that while we are away, They haven’t married our pals. Nobody knows we are living, Nobody gives a damn. At home we are forgotten, For we belong to Uncle Sam. The time we have spent in the Air Force, The time of lives we have missed, -Boys, don’t let the draft get you, Ahd for God’s sake don’t enlist*. Well, when we get to Heaven, To St. Peter we will tell, We are veterans from Korea— Who have spent their time in Hell.

W. Overman and Robert S. Marsh, Cho wan county agents. These fields were spotted over Chowan County repre senting every section from Yeopim to Gliden and from the Chowan River to the Perquimans County line. In six undusted fields punctured squares ranged from 22 per cent to 48 per cent and averaged 37 per cent. This means that over one-third of the larger squares are punctured and worms were found in several. Very healthy weevils were also found in most of the fields visited. In six dusted fields punctured squares ranged from 3 per cent to 14 per cent and averaged 8 per cent. Al ma Forehand has dusted each week for three weeks and his field had 3 per cent punctured squares. E. N. Elliott has dusted two weeks and his count was 5 per cent. The other four fields had been dusted the first time last week and they averaged 10 per cent, i Growers who have not started dust ing by the last of this week will lose much, early cotton in the opinion of the county agents. They urge farm ers to continue to dust for at least two more weeks by using 20 per cent toxa phene at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. “Other approved cotton \ dusts or sprays are all right,” say Overman and Marsh, “but don’t use B.H.C. because of your peanuts.” Vets* Question Fox Q. I’m going to school under the Korean GI Bill, and my wife just had a baby. What must I do in order to get an increased education allowance from VA ? • A. You must apply for the in crease. If VA receives your appli cation within 45 days, the effective date of the increased allowance will be the date of the birth of your child. Otherwise, the effective date will be the date VA receives your • applica tion. In either case, you must sub-, mit satisfactory evidence of the birth of the child, within a year of the time you asked for the increased allow ance. Q. I understand that with credit controls lifted it’s possible to get a 30-year GI loan with no down pay- ment. But I can’t find anybody who will lend me the money on those terms. Aren’t lenders required to do that, under the law? A. No. Although such terms are permissible, it’s still up to the lender to make his own decision as to the terms of the loan.
