THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1954. . _ . ■ ■ ■ A LIFT FOR TODAY if Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sus tain thee. —Ps. 55:22. FOR OUR WORLD burdened with fear of the future, the Word of God gives the only solution in the promise— “ Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Open our eyes, O Lord, to see Thee and to know that if we rest in Thee, peace and joy will fill our lives, and Thou wilt give us strength sufficient for any trial. Problem Under Debate i Chowan County Commissioners on Wednesday morn ing devoted most of their time to considering the prob lem of fire protection in the rural section, and it is a problem to say the least. While Town Council set July 15 as a deadline for Edenton firemen to answer calls, there is no ill feeling between the town and county boards. The town feels that if firemen and equipment is sent outside the city limits, the town should be compensated, especially actual expenses. The Commissioners are in full accord with this decision. However, to continue to 1 answer calls, firemen figure the cost for a year will ac- j tually amount to over $3,000 which includes an extra paid j driver, a two-way radio and pay for volunteer firemen. The Commissioners have appropriated SI,OOO for this service this year, but made it clear that if the cost amounted to more, it will be paid by the county, taking the view that “the laborer is worth his hire.” Various angles to the problem were discussed at Wed nesday’s meeting which included the right to call an elec tion to decide whether or not to levy on property outside the city limits to provide fire protection in the rural area. A petition was presented at the meeting requesting the Commissioners to provide fire protection. It was signed by 80 people within a short time without a single one hesitating. However, most of these signers live within close proximity of Edenton, so that it is not known what the sentiment is among those living at greater distances. The Commissioners doubted if most of those living at great distances in the county would be willing to pay an extra tax for the protection. However, the Commissioners voted to appoint a com mittee on which will be represented the Commissioners, Town Council, Fire Department and every section of the tounty. This committee will be charged with making a thorough study of the problem and present a workable plan in order to secure the best possible protection. This is a problem not only peculiar to Chowan County for it has arisen in many other communities of the state. It is a serious problem and one which will require level heads to the end that the fire demon will make less in roads on life and property. Both the town and county governing bodies are vitally interested in the proper solution of the problem, for what hurts or helps our rural friends is naturally reflected in Edenton.

JULY 8, 1954 | Heard & Seen j By “Buff” 1 IM nm , „ , -V Being called upon quite frequently to show visitors the panel room and Masonic room in the Court House, here s an idea which should be carried out. There are four pic tures hanging on the walls of the panel room so why not have the names and some sort of explanation attached below the pictures ? Reason ? Well, take the other day when showing the rooms to a group from Western North ' Carolina, I got all befuddled and couldn’t tell the visitors I if one of the pictures was Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth 1 or some other queen. And on another occasion at the moment I couldn’t for the life of me think of the name of Hugh Williamson. Here’s one who thinks names should be attached to the portraits as well as brief infor mation about each one. It would be more interesting for visitors and at the same time provide more authentic in formation. It might be interesting to know what some as the less informed have told visitors about those whose pictures adorn the walls. For instance on one occasion I heard one fellow say, “That’s Joseph Hewes. He kept a store down on the comer and Hotel Joseph Hewes was named after him.” Let’s keep our history correct. It wouldn’t be much trouble to attach a neat card beneath the pictures telling who each one is and some facts per taining to the part they played in the past. If we’re proud of ’em, let those who visit us know why their pie l tures are hanging on the walls. o I According to the reports I get, fishing has been more or less on the fritz lately. It’s hard to figure out if the fish have been caught up or if the scudders just refuse to bite. At any rate there should be some biting going on near the fish hatchery for a little spell, for Johnny Asbell has been instructed to turn loose in the creek about 1,500 bream and 600 bass which were used as breeding stock at the fish hatchery. The fish are in the pond next to the creek, so if they hang around “home” maybe a fel low can catch some of ’em. But remember the limit, boys. o | John Kramer relinquished the presidency of the Eden t ton Rotary Club Thursday, when Gilliam Wood was in | stalled as the new president. President John reviewed ; briefly activities of the club during his administration and offered at least one suggestion to President Gilliam. The suggestion was for the new president to make an effort to find the cloth covers for the backs of the chairs so that in hot weather a fellow’s shirt doesn’t stick to the chair back. Shucks, what about the seats of the chairs ? I’d rather walk around with a slit in my shirt than to walk out of the Parish House some Thursday with the seat of my pants gone. o Maybe there’s something to being patriotic. Take for instance Monday night when the Edenton Colonials were playing Rocky Hock. Rocky Hock was leading Edenton 4 to 3 up to the seventh inning, so that when it was time to stand up and stretch (and a stretch feels mighty good at some of the long games) one fellow yelled, “Stand up and face the tea pot.” Well, in the seventh inning the Colonials scored three runs and came back in the eighth to ring the bell with five more runs. o— And speaking about baseball, the fellows in the press box are resorting to last fall’s practice in the football press box. when each night a game was played somebody j came up with refreshments. The football season ran put, I however, before Bill Cozart got his chance to fork up. At 1 any rate, the menu at the baseball games includes pea nuts, popcorn and pop—there’s no need for hot coffee which goes so well at a football game, when it also feels mighty good to be under cover in the press box. Bus Wozelka served the refreshments Monday night even though he paid admission to see the game—and then he was asked to announce the game over the loudspeaking system. But he didn’t, for Marvin Wilson finally got out his glasses to find a new contraption was in use which differed from the one he had been using heretofore. Miss Marian Hughes Weds Pfc. Floyd Blair Miss Marian Hughes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hughes of Merry Hill and Pfc. Donnie Blair, son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Blair of New York City, were united in marriage Tuesday afternoon at the parsonage of the Baptist Church at Merry Hill with the Rev. M. Sintel officiating. Miss Hughes has been employed at Mitchener’s Pharmacy for about a year and Mr. Blair is stationed at the Edenton Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field. The newlyweds are making their home with Mrs. C. C. Hughes, grand mother of the hride. GOING TO SULPHUR SPRINGS Miss Jessie McMullan is leaving Friday to Visit friends at White Sul phur Springs. Rural Fire Fighting Problem Considered (Continued From Page One) ed a motion authorizing the appoint ment of a committee representing the Commissioners, Town Council, Fire ( Department and every section of the county to study the situation and de cide upon a workable plan for fire protection for rural residents. In the meantime the Commissioners will be represented at the meeting of Town Council next Tuesday night to see if the action setting July 15 as the deadline for answering calls in the rural area will be rescinded during the time an effort is being made to best solve the problem.
