And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying all power j is given unto me in heaven and in earth.—Matt. 2$:18. | Jesus made this statement time’s supreme deelara- : tion of power—after His resurrection, thus confirming His omnipotence over life and death, the present arid t. ■■ future. We know. O Blessed Saviour, that Thou art ever ready to impart this power to Thy children that they. too. may do all things through Thee who strengthened tern. Very Fortunate At That When the elements go on a rampage as was the ease Friday When Hurricane Hazel struck this .section, man has an opportunity to realize how weak, insignificant and helpless he is. Though warned ahead of time of the approach and fury of the hurricane, .there - was nothing . any man or group of men, despite their strength am wisdom, could do to nrev ■? the dwiage which was done. Albemarle Sound and Co.wan River a violent rage and nothing could be done to .t! ‘ ' : huge waves and high tide. The wind whipped at i, velocity that it was even difficult for a person to walk in it. and who could stop it? Though a considerable amount of damage was done, this section has reason to feel very fortunate in that more ami even more serious damage was not done. It could have been a great deal worse, for in t’- ’V”” the storm some lives could have easily been sr.ulTed out and many injuries could have resulted. Praise is in order for the efforts put forth to bring conditions back to normal. Electric and telephone ser vice has been restored and the debris which had been piled high on every street in town is gradually disappear ing, so those charged with various responsibilities are to be congratulated for taking the hurricane’s damage on the chin and buckling down to remove every vestige of one of the worst storms ever to visit this section. Flattery is one way someyieople pave the walkway of fife, but it often costs more than it is worth. Your best friend is the person who tells you the truth, not the one who tells you what you want to hear. The people who take their work seriously are usually the ones who have the permanent jobs. The world is jammed with people who believe any thing nice that is said ahtout them. If everyone gave one minute of time per day to a charitable act, it would increase life’s pleasures and life’s accomplishment. .mu»« %*. .■* j> <'m .'•whh^ ' ~ v ' '-• *U *QT ,<j .„vpMp|Bpp§^^BipLg^r^Hß^BL^K p ._; fc _ [!

The storm, however, was worse than a dozen mo ' thers-in law. 1 never knew pecans were so valuable, for jit was a field day for pecan hunters. They were all j over town gathering the nuts and in some eases, even j before the hurricane passed, groups were under trees j to get the pecans before someone else got to ’em. Not I so long after the winds abated the town put me in mind I of a big snow storm only instead of snow banks along ! the streets the obstructions were limbs, leaves and oth er debris blown around by the storm. In Pembroke Cir i ele one of the most enterprising folks living there struck | upon the idea of charging everyone driving through the I Circle during arid after the storm 50 cents for having I their ear washed in the flooded streets. One fellow who I had taken on a few snorts decided to go in a back yard ! to watch the storm. He wasn’t out long until a falling i walnut hit him on the head, then a small chimney fell to li’m. He knew he Wasn’t feeling and seeing th’ngs. so h.o oozed back in tin hoii-i. A* the Methodist n,school son on ■ n-ported that J. P.. Dulaney was sick Friday and had to be tak-n to the hospital. "Hazel ran him out of his house.” id one of th- male 'members, pee- of the female members whispered to another, “I pki,.’t know Mr, Dulaney's wife was namod Hazel.” A f v of the boys working in The Herald office saw OS mv desk advance pictures of the new Pontiac auto mobile. "It's no use to look at those pictures,” I told 'em, “You can't buy such a car anyway.”.

" - ——o- - : i - week Ih id something to say about the Elizabeth City Band, hut said nothing about the Edenton Band. Well, here’s ohe who’s proud of the Edenton Band and hone it gets even 1 t+er than it is. For a small band it eonipares very favorably with many bands having far more members. It’s good a string of football games have been played away from home, for I’d likely contact pneumonia chasing up to the corner from my house with no coat or hat when the hand parades Thursday nights for the pep rallies. The band plays today for the.,Shrine sponsored" parade and the Oxford-Methodist Orphanage football game in Raleigh, and here’s one who surely would like to see both. Yep, I think the band is O. K. Democrats will gather in Elizabeth City today for a district rally. Congressman Herbert Ronner was in Edenton a short time Tuesday and said it should be one of the best rallies ever held in this neck of the woods. A free feed will be served, so that there should be a lot of hand-shaking, plenty of eats and should I say a little hot air on the side? One of my friends in Pennsylvania has a job gather ing balls on the golf course and asked for a little more money. He's just a little over five feet tall, so the boss man refused an increase in pay. telling my friend that he doesn’t have to work as hard as a taller man in order to pick up the golf balls because he’s built closer to the ground. That's a new one. The excuse Usualtiy is that business is rotten. West W. Byrum, Jr.; Entertains Lions Club Presents Color Slides | Taken In Okinawa And Formosa Members of the Edenton Lions Club virtually took a “voyage” to Okinawa and Formosa when they were most interestingly entertained at their Mon day evening meeting with color slide pictures of these far away islands by West Byrurn. Jr., who recently re turned home after a tour of duty with the Army Air Force in the Far East. 1 Graphically portraying each picture of Okinawa, its people, their customs, superstitions, homes, educational fa | eißti.es and economies, Byrum deserib | ed the high cliff from which 128 Jap anese soldiers plunged to their death. | after running long knives into their stomach rather than submit to can i ture. This, he said, is known as Su : - cide Cliff and a monument was erect ed to them by Japan. An island consistingmostly of stone and coral Okinawa .is a natural fort- | ress. Rvrmrj exnl.ained. which account ed for the fact that bur troops «vis- : sered much more than a hundred j thousand casualties before it was fi nally captured. Earl Harrell, president of the club. l thanked Byrurn fob this excellent pro gram, which was arranged by Mayor L. H. Haskett.
