America, and the other countries of the world, need a spiritual awakening which Christ only can give to those who accept him and know him as Saviour and Lord. Our hearts are hungry for a living God, O Lord. Guide us to Calvary’s Cross that we may see the up lifted Saviour of men and find peace. Something Wrong Somewhere Apparent lack of interest and, of course, a band which falls short of expectations, come in for some discussion at Tuesday night’s meeting of To'wn Council and, unless | more interest and progress is shown, the annual appro priation of $1,700 for the band for the next fiscal year might be eliminated from the town’s budget. Prospects for continuation of the band are rather gloomy according to Director Ernest Gentile, who in formed The Herald this week that at the present time he has only about 10 boys and girls to attend regular band practice sessions. According to Director Gentile, three important mem bers recently dropped out of the band, four take typing when band rehearsals are held, and nine practice with the Glee Club. Besides, one takes mechanical drawing, an other is obliged to leave to work in the cotton mill, one is hopeless, another shows no interest in the band and two are not making much progress. In the group also are four beginners and three elementary pupils. Mr. Gentile says he is very conscientious in his work and would like to turn out a good band for the school, but that with the present lack of interest and conflicting schedules of classes he is about ready to throw in the towel. The Herald is not acquainted with the situation other than to sense the fact that the hand is not as good as it has been, and on Monday night former members were pressed into service in order to make a good showing, which is not as it should be. The Herald is of the opinion that a good high school band is just or more important not only to the school but the town as a whole, than a good football, baseball or basketball team or glee club. Tn fact, a football game lacks something and is mighty flat without a band on hand and then, too, more impetus and interest is develop ed in any community affair, such as the Christmas and Halloween parties and other activities when the services of a band are available. Whatever the difficulty is. The Herald hopes it will he solved to the end that students as well as citizens of Edenton will again be proud of its band. MR.

SEPTEMBER 16, 1954. s Heard & Seen | By “Buff” « Jimmy Ricks was parading around town Friday after noon with a box of cigars shortly after he became daddy of a daughter, little Elizabeth Burke Ricks, in Chowan Hospital about 3 o’clock. Os course, he gave me one, but it appeared to be a little stale. You see, Jimmy has had the cigars for two or three weeks, expecting any minute to distribute ’em. In fact, he just about accused the Missus of holding out in order to keep her name out ol the paper. Anyway, here’s congratulations to both o£ ’em for helping to increase Edenton’s population. o A timely item at the football game Friday night would have been a barrel of molasses. Both the Edenton and Roanoke Rapids boys had a hard time holding on to the ball, so that fumbles were very frequent—in fact too darned many for one game. At any rate, the Edenton Aces managed to win their opening game, so let s all go out Friday night to see ’em perform against Morehead City. o Sitting with the Missus in the bleachers I didn’t show i up in the press box, where the boys had on tap some hot coffee and cookies. They wanted to know where I was, | but I’ll turn up when it’s more like hot coffee weather j arid too bloomin’ cold to be sitting on the seats. , o Town Council now has an agenda for its meetings, so that it is necessary to be included before the meeting is held in order to be given a hearing. It’s good the reading of the minutes of the last meeting is on the agenda, for at Tuesday night’s meeting Clerk Ernest J. Ward, Jr., read minutes of five meetings held since the , regular August meeting. Nope, the Councilmen are not paid on a per diem basis. y —o— i An open meeting will be held in Elizabeth City Fri day night at 8 o’clock to hear any objections with rela tion to the speedboat regatta planned for October 2-3 in the Pasquotank River. Gosh, is somebody going to ob ject to that, too ? —o- — 1 ■ Free schools in North Carolina aren’t so free after all—ask the parents of kids in school. At any rate, when a certain boy came home from high school when school opened he told his mother he had to have in the neigh- j borhood of SB.OO to take back to school. “Holy smoke,” she said. “You’ll have to get your education in the gram mar grades.” But they catch ’em there, too, by gosh, | for one thing or another. And speaking of free schools, i when I was a youngster it cost nary a cent to go to j school, not even for paper and pencils. That’s what I j call free schools. ■ ——o Thank goodness, Hurricane Edna skipped us just about like Hurricane Carol did. Here’s one who’ll he glad when the hurricane season will be over, and further that none takes a crack at us. ~ —■ —‘——o- Some fishing trips aren’t so hot, especially like one I took Saturday. I paid Kermit Layton two bucks for a boat, went out beyond the pound net stakes, at Sand? I Point, cut a piece of bait, fished about two minutes, came back to shore, unloaded and went home. Why Kermit allows the Sound to get so rough in so short a time 1 can’t understand. However, the one good thing about such fishing trips is that after returning home a fellow doesn’t have to further wear himself out by cleaning fish. This week several news items were obliged to lie omit ted, for which I’m sorry. However, we must have new ii, tlic ,iffir.e by Tuesday. Wednesday morning is usual jy too late and this week two items were sent in aftei i ricon when The Herald was being .printed. I’m anxiou' ■ to get news, but we must have it on time. Or. Robert Daniel Fills Pulpit Sunday At Baptist Church Will Preach at Both Ser vices In Absence of Pastor Dr. Robert T. Daniel, professor of Old Testament Interpretation at the Southeastern Baptist Seminary in Wake Forest, has accepted the invi tation of the pulpit committee to preach at both the morning and even ing services of the Baptist Church Sunday, September 19. The morning service is at 11 o’clock and the even . ing service at 7:30 o’clock. Dr. Daniel, (who comes to the Edenton pulpit in the absence of the pastor now on va ! cation, brings a broad background in [the fields of teaching and preaching; his teaching activity having extended into the fields of public school, in struction and theological seminary professor-ship. Before coming to the Old Testament professorship at Southeastern, Dr. ! Daniel was a professor at the South western Theological Seminary and prior to that taught in the public schools of North Carolina.

The public is cordially invited to all of the services of the church. FIREMEN CALLED OUT Edenton firemen were called out shortly after 7 o’clock Tuesday morn ing when some gasoline ignited at the Bridge Turn Service Station as a transport was transferring gasoline in the tanks. The flames were put out by a fire extinguisher, so that no damage was done. taSThfatS] EDENTON, N. (.
