THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1953. a” LIFT FOR today” The way of the transgressor is hard. Prov. 13:15. The wages that sin bargains for with the sinner are: life, pleasure and profit. But the wages it pays are: death, torment and destruction. To understand the false hood and deceit of sin, we must compare its promises and payments together.—South. Impress upon the heart of everyone, O God, the fact that the wages of sin is death. n JO~-ri- ru ~ | rt r irtCU l UVVO , ‘^Vv*"*^^'" l ‘ >A *‘‘*** AAAAAAA^V% " USO Club Is Needed With a goodly number of Marines stationed at the Edenton Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field, a feeling has deveolped that in Edenton there are inadequate recre ational facilities for service men. In an effort to pro vide wholesome recreation for these men a movement is now on foot to secure a USO Club in Edenton. The mat ter has been brought to the attention of various civic and fraternal groups, all of which are sympathetic and sup port the idea. Letters have been written by some of the groups re questing the regional director at Atlanta to come to Edenton to make a survey in the hope that he will dis cover the need is urgent enough to establish a USO Club here. It’s true that recreational facilities in Edenton are limited for a group of men who, not unlike anybody else, have a desire to get away for a time from where they earn a livelihood. At the base there is a golf course, but comparatively few Marines play golf and even for those who do the game cannot be played at night, when they have the greatest amount of freedom. There is, The Herald un derstands, a moving picture, theatre at the base which lacks a great deal of being modem, so that generally Speaking very little in the way of recreation is provided at the base and recreation is one of the necessities for a well rounded service man’s life. It’s long been said that an idle brain is the devil’s workshop, so that more adequate recreation facilities would necessarily occupy the minds of Marines. It speaks well for the Marines in that more of them do not get in trouble. Edenton has been very fortunate iii always having a group of well-behaved Marines at the local base. They have cooperated with the community whenever called upon so that the town should to some degree feel obligated to use its influence in securing a USO Club for their pastime and entertainment while separated from their families and friends. The USO, when previously operated in Edenton, pro vided wholesome entertainment for many service men and local people wholeheartedly joined in the work. This situation, The Herald feels sure, would again prevail, so that every effort should be made to secure a USO Club. • Why Advertise? The following is reprinted from the Wynn, Arkansas, Progress: “The late William Wrigley was once riding with a friend in a crack express train from New York to Chica go. His companion was curious to know why the mag nate continued to spend so much on advertising. “ ‘Your gum is known all over the world,’ he said. ‘Why don’t you save the millions you are spending on ad vertising?’ “Wrigley pondered a second and then asked, ‘How fast is this train going?’ “ ‘About 60 miles per hour,’ replied the other. “ ‘Then,’ asked Wrigley, ‘why doesn’t the railway com pany remove the engine and let the train travel on ita own momentum?’ ” j//r II Jf ,; :\W J|| in the Kbit JOHN Series lira-How tors When you inspect the advanced-type 3- point hitch on the new John Deere “40" Series Tractors, you'll quickly see why it offers you advantages over other 3-point hitches, first of all, it's a stronger hitch, with every part built with rugged durability for long service. It's a fully-adaptablm hitch that will take a full line of new John Deere Quik-Talch “pickup" tools as well as any Standard 3-point tools made for other tractor*.

CL,TBUItePAT NOVEMBER 12, 1958. . - ■ ■ ■—»■—<Ml > Heard & Seen By “Buff” j.,, 1,. - — 1 i If Philip McMullan ever loses his job at the Edenton Cotton Mills I’m going to try to hire him as a proof reader, for he finds about as many errors in The Herald as does Wilbome Harrell, who reads most of the proofs. Philip is a thorough reader of The Herald and every now and then he apparently gets a lot of fun ragging me about errors, especially if they appear in this or the ad joining column. Last week he had a perfect right to rake me over the coals, for in the editorial column I needed a little type to fill up and thought I’d put in a brief plug in behalf of the Boy Scout money-raising drive. But, to my embarrassment, Philip called my at tention to the fact that I had messed up the whole works by winding up the editorial by saying, “Realizing the importance of Boy Scout work, there should be no rea son to raise the money.” Holy mackerel! I’m going to shoot a proofreader or a typesetter or else myself—one of us is guilty. At any rate, what I meant to say is that we all should support the Boy Scouts —with our co operation and money as well. o Anthony Gosser was a caller in The Herald office Fri day afternoon, coming straight from Chowan Hospital, where he had become the daddy of an 8-pound son Fri day morning. He was all smiles as he poked out a cigar when entering the door. It was a fine cigar and Anth ony says it’s a fine boy he has. Well, don t all new pappies say the same thing ? i o | Some of the Town Councilmen had sort of a hunch { that a short meeting was in prospect Tuesday night, but j alas and alack, enough matters popped up during the meeting to hold them in session until almost 11 o’clock. For a long time now meetings have been of a prolonged nature, so that it’s about time to sneak in a few short meetings. o And speaking about Town Councilmen, they’re sched uled to be paid off for six months work at the next meet ing. It will be more or less of an innovation for George Alma Byrum, who will receive his first check as his pay for serving on the Board. Yep, it will be pay day for the boys and what a spending spree it should be—24 bucks apiece for putting in a lot of long, weary and un pleasant hours, as well as complaints, bellyaching and criticism galore for the past six months. Well, some body has to be the goats. o *• Bob Kennan was among a few Edenton fans who ac companied the Edenton Aces to Goldsboro last Friday night. Bob and the others didn’t mind so much the fact that the Aces were walloped 52-0, but they did mind al most freezing while watching the game. If the boys on the field were as cold and shivering as Bob, it’s no won der they fumbled the ball so often, for Bob virtually did the hula dance while watching the game. o With the ladies of the Methodist Women’s Society of Christian Service every now and then sponsoring a chicken salad supper, on each occasion my kitchen takes bn the appearance of a celery farm. The Missus must be the chief celery cutter-upper, and according to the amount of celery I see, I hardly see how there’s room for anything else. However, at the last supper about 300 plates were sold, so that purchasers must find some chicken and are very well satisfied, for each time more and more plates are sold. They’re having a supper to night (Thursday), and the good thing about it is that plates are delivered to homes. A fellow doesn’t have to shave and dress up to eat if he doesn’t feel like it. Edenton’s population apparently took a nose dive Wed nesday of this week. It was opening day for the duck and goose season—and it looked as though everybody and his brother went to try their luck. If they shoot any, we’ll hear from them. If not, we’ll not even know some of ’em went hunting. o While fishing Thursday morning of last week, at least six ducks tantalized me no little, for they flew just a short distance from my boat and a couple of ’em ap peared to be flying at the same place for a spell. They provided perfect shots, but next time I go I’m taking a gun—wonder where they’ll be flying then. - - - - - - A It is an easier hitch to hook up to, thanks to the tumbuckle design which enables you to shorten or lengthen the top link with a turn of the hand. Best of all, there is the new John Deere Load-and-Depth Control which works with the 3-point hiffch and the Touch-o matio system to give you the kind of working accuracy you have always wanted for your plow, disk narrow, and other field implements. Well be glad to demonstrate, any time. This Week’s Poem By WILBORNE HARRELL Our Flag She flies the breeze, tattered and tom, Badges of courage are her tatters; But all in all great honor she's worn — And that, my friends, is all that matters.
