A lift for today
■A Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the
earth. —lsaiah 45:22.
ALL OF US are sinners and within ourselves we can
do nothing. Our only hope of salvation is in Him.
O God, let us not depend upon our own righteousness,
hut look to Christ who suffered for us on Calvary, paying
the penalty of our sin.
More Vandalism
Acts of vandalism are becoming more frequent in
Edenton in that hoodlums have caused a great deal of
damage. The most recent victim is Captain J. L. \V ig
gins whose wall in front of his homo was damaged Mon
day night, no doubt as a Halloween prank.
There is a difference in having fun and wantonly dam
aging or destroying property whether it is Halloween
or not, and it is to be hoped the perpetrators of these
acts of vandalism will be apprehended.
Whether it is the work of boys or grownups is hard j
to say. but the damage has been done just the same,
both at St. Pauf s Clhii-' liyaid and a: Captain Wiggins’l
home. If it is adults who continue those acts of destruc
tion, there must be something mentally wrong with thorn.a
If it is juveniles it reflects not only juvenile delinquency,
hut parental delinquency as well.
Somebody is responsible for this vandalism and surely .
somebody has a good idea who it is. It should be stop
ped and the best way to accomplish this end is to report 1
it so that the guilty party or parties can be brought to j
justice. It is cowardly to damage or destroy property
under cover of darkness, but it is not cowardly to report
any information which will bring such vandalism to an
end.
Marines To Com mended
Marines stationed, at Edenton again reflected credit
upon themselves by proving they have a heart. Os their
own volition they raised the creditable amount of $230
for the Emergency March of Dimes. Without a direc
tive establishing a drive, the men at the base heard ap
peals for more money to combat infantile paralysis and
started a drive of their own which exceeded the contribu
tions made in Edenton for the purpose.
In sending in the check Chaplain Dean K. Veltman said
the men at the base hope none of this money will be
needed in this area, but in ease there is a need, they
want to help in any way they can.
The Marines again are to. be complimented for their
public-spiritedness and willingness to put thc ; r shoulder
to the wheel when there is a need for help.
The Herald recalls not a single instance in all the years
the Marines were stationed in. Edenton when cooperation
of the Marines was not forthcoming and in this particular
case they are to be more highly commended in that they
were not requested to make a contribution.
Money is worth only what it will buy., the economist
says, and we feel that is sufficient.
There are always a few who are eager to tear down
any younger person who has made a go of it in life.

Joe Thorud joined the ranks of the “immortals” in the
.Edenton Gold Club a few days ago when he made a hole
in-one on the golf course at the Marine base. Joe ac
complished his feat in the eighth hole. So far as I know
the only other Edenton golfer to make a hole-in-one is
Lyn Byrum, who did it on the fourth hole shortly after
1 .the course was opened and the golf hug hit a gang of
Edenton fellows. I imagine a hole-in-one compares fav
orably with going fishing and catching the limit—it
happens so infrequently.

* Captain J. L. Wiggins was the victim of some hoodlum
or hoodlums Monday night when the wall in front of
his home was deliberately pushed over. It is puzzling
to realize how such acts of vandalism provide any degree
of fun for those doing the damage and it’s too had they
cannot be apprehended. We hear a lot about juvenile
delinquency, but even more unfortunate is the fact that
such acts of vandalism all too often reflect parental de
linquency.

Tuesday’s election passed off very quietly in Chowan j
County and so far as I could hear there was no shooting j
going on, nor did T see any of the usual “ward healers” ,
hanging around the polls. The election at the Court ]
House didn’t seem the same, for Miss Sallie Jones, who
for many years served as one of the election officials,
was not present. In fact Miss Sallie was ill and died
|while the vote was being tabulated. She was more or
less a fixture at the East Edenton Precinct and will be
greatly missed at future elections.
O — .; •■■■" •-
And speaking about the election, a few voters in the
| East Edenton Precinct can say that they voted for the
I winner. In fact a few voters marked an X in every
square on the ballot, both Democratic and Republican.
Rut they might as well not voted, for these ballots were
promptly discarded.

There's a difference in some people. The other day an
! item, appeared in a newspaper that a wallet containing
' a substantial amount of money was. returned to the owner
1 when there were no identification papers in it. On the
I other hand Mrs. E. W. Bond recently lost her purse in
j which were plenty of means of identification, but it has
not been returned. The difference is honesty and dis
honesty.

Here’s one who has been as busy as a bee lately, hut I
know of a group of gals who are also very busy. I
learned the other day that on Tuesday over 700 long dis
tance telephone calls were made at the local exchange.
That’s a lot of calls in the course of a day, not counting
local calls, so it's no wonder a fellow cannot pick up a
phone and immediately say “hello” to the party at a
distant point.
Kdenton’s Aces are scheduled to play Farmville Friday
night on Hicks Field, when homecoming day will lie ob
served. Members of the FHA plan quite a celebration
which includes a parade and crowning a King and Queen.
With the mercury taking a sudden drop, so that early
Wednesday morning the reading was just above the
freezing mark, it might he a good idea for the gals to
put on .their red flannels underneath the thin evening
dresses they’re no doubt expected to wear.

The VFW Auxiliary will observe Poppy Day on Satur
day, when poppies will be sold around town. Os course,
they hope a lot of people will buy a poppy.

ty wherever we may be.”

Not many stretches of our Atlantic
coastline are still much the way they
were when first sighted by white men
—wild and primitive, the home of
fighting game fish and migratory wa
terfowl. One of the few such “age
less” sections is the region off North
Carolina known as the Outer Banks.
This area has now been set aside and
preserved for all time as our na
tion’s first national seashore,
We have many national parks, but
the Cape Hatteras National Seashore
is the first effort to keep intact and]
unspoiled a bit of coast to remind j
Americans what the New World used
to look like. The area runs along the
] coast for about 70 miles and will con
tain 28,500 acres.
Nags Head . . . Walebone . . . Ore
gon Inlet . . . the sands of Hatteras
.. . Ocracoke these are hallowed j
names to surf casters and big-game’
anglers. To the hunting fraternity!
they mean ducks and geese that fol
low the Atlantic flyway.
News that the region is being turn-'
ed into a national seashore may come,
as a shock to them all this will he
lost to them forever! But that isn’t!
true, In fact, claims Bill Wolf in an
article in Sports Afield magazine*
turning the Hatteras country into a
national seashore occurred just in
time to keep this sportsman’s paradise
more or less as it was.
In the last 15 years some distress,

•ver the free world come such com
ments as these from readers of THE

Deflated
The young husband wrote home
from his new job, saying:
“Made foreman feather in my
cap.” A few weeks later he wrote t
again, saying:
“Made manager—another feather in
my cap.” After some weeks he wrote
again, saying:
“Fired—send money for train fare.”
His wife unfeelingly telegraphed
back:
I “Use feather and fiy home.”
