A LIFT FOR TODAY GOD in everything about; walking in the path of Truth and Love—that is the way to true happi neSSßlessed Father, let the light.of Thy countenancej rest upon us that we may follow in the footsteps of our Lord A Community Obligation 0 Whenever Americans band together and decide to ac complish some project for the good of their community, they work until that job is successfully completed. As a result of this persistence and cooperation, our towns boast of such as swimming pools, playgrounds, parks, hospitals, civic organizations and culture groups. We have citizens who fight mosquitoes, others who battle crime, and many who join in the war against the ravages of disease, slums md disasters. Often, many of these groups seem overlapping and dis organized. Yet underlying the entire structure are the needs of the community itself. And when these needs seem to grow out of proportion, our organizations must grow larger and stronger. It is then that our people get to work, and community dre-rns somehow come true. At this time of the year, as a result of the annual Eas ter Seal campaign, we become especially conscious of the needs and of an organization that has grown larger and stronger because the demands upon it grow greater. This organization, The Chowan County Society for Crip pled Children and Adults, spearheads the annual Easter Seal campaign in this county. Astonishing strides have been made by this organiza tion in the care and treatment of those who are crippled. Medical diagnosis, physical, occupational and speech therapies and dozens of other rehabilitative techniques which have developed and carried out through services provided by Easter Seal societies, have put thousands of crippled persons back on their feet. Working with the Easter Seal society to drive about these gains ar» many other groups welded together in its support. Junior Leagues and service clubs, college so rorities. labor organizations, volunteers and individual Easter Seal contributors join hands in making the Cho- ( wan County Society fdr Crippled Children and Adults | the great organization that it is. We know that Americans in our community cannot re main happy if. they know that hundreds and even thous ands of eripnled children and adults remain untreated. As more and more civic organizations such as the Eden ton Lions Club hack the Easter Seal campaign, more and more crippled persons will have the chance to live the ives, thev des«rvo. We know that our community will rally to the Easter Seal cause and help build it to ir resistible strength. An optimist, is very often one who does, not have to pay the bill. A good rule for highway travel is to let the other car get there first. There is noth'ng so positive as the assertion of the man who nows little or nothing about what he is dis cussing.

Heard & Seen By “Buff'’ . -1 11 Some of the seventh and eighth grade girls are gun ning for me, and rightly so, after the recent basketball tournament among the seventh and eighth grade boys and girls I had a little something to say in this column about the earnestness in which the boys played. Well, I’ve been reminded that the *[irls played just as well and, inci dentally were just as responsible for a successful tourna ment so far as playing is concerned, but also in raising $8" 75 toward the swimming pool. It wasn’t intentional, girls, and my hat’s off to the girls as well as the boys for one of the best affairs held at the school. To be a Mason in Edenton these days almost means that a fellow must be a carpenter. The Masons are busy as bees (at night, however) trying to complete their tem ple on Water Street and in order to hold down the cost an S.O.S. has gone out for every member to lend a hand. Some have been on the job almost every night, while oth ers have not yet put in an appearance, although there’s a lot of work to be done on the inside which can be done j by members themselves. To say the least, the building ( is beautiful from the outside and when completed inside and the grounds cleaned up it will be something not only for the Masons to be proud of. but the town as a whole. Come out, fellows, and let’s get the job done. It may cost you only a few blisters and maybe a few stiff joints, but it is well worth it. All the work should not be done by the faithful few. r> Then another justly proud group is the Methodist Church School, which is about ready to move into a new building at the rear of the church. While this building has not caused many Methodists to wear blisters on their hands and knees, it has caused a lot of head scratching to figure out how to get the money to pay for it—not the least being Dr. J. A. Powell, who has been in charge of the building since it was begun and will be glad when all the work is done. o Rhett Miller, now a student at the LTniversity of Flori da, Gainesville, dropped me a card the other day, saying he receives The Herald every week and that he enjoys it. “Tell some of Chowan County folks who have been visiting down here to come by Gainesville and see me. It can get lonely,” wrote Rhett. o Edenton Rotarians have been invited to send one or more representatives to Burlington on May 17 to par ticinate in a liars’ contest staged by the Rotary Club there. Marvin Wilson suggested that a letter be writ ten to Burlington saying that the Edenton Club has no liars Pronto, one of the Rotarians nominated Marvin to represent the Edenton Club. Well, maybe the club has no liars, hut at times some of ’em apparently handle the truth rather recklessly. o Jack McMullan says I’m slipping in that one of Eden ton’s most prominent “citizens” died recentlv and noth ing was printed about it in The Herald. The “citizen” Jack refers to is his dog “Svn Nim.” I’ve noticed lately | that when Jack goes to the post office his dog is not ! trailing after him and. too, that Jack hasn’t been-alto gether in his usual jovial mood. Frankly, it is like losing a member of his family, for Svn Nim was a constant com panion. both at home and. awav from home. T svmnn thize with Jack, for a dog’s friendship and loyalty can hardly he exceeded a human being. Rich or poor, rag ged r>r dressed up fit to kill : or well and under nnv sort of circumstances a dog will not forsake his friend— which cannot be said of every human being. o— Members of the Staff NCO Wives’ Cluii will hold a bake sale at the P & Q Super Market Saturday morning. I’m told that a feature of the sale will be home-baked bread. Incidentally, home baked bread is something like the buffalo—almost “extinct”. Many of us remember when our mothers baked bread just about every Friday if the supply was exhausted or not. I’m going to the sale ' to revive my memory as to how- a loaf of home-baked bread looks. they replace; they're precision-built to fit right. . . wear right. . . and last longer. It costs far less in the long run—and saves time and temper as well—when you stick to genuine John Deere Parts. Give your equipment a thorough check-over now and place your parts order with us the next time you're in town. You'll be glad you acted promptly.
