THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1951 A LIFT FOR TODAY If any man will come after me. let him deny him self, and take up his cross dailv; and follow me.— Luke 9:23. When we lift the cross and carry it. it cannot harm us. It may be heavy, hut Christ has promised. “My grace is sufficient for thee.” Strengthen our will. O Cod. and help us to re member that Carrying our cross is the way to con quer it. as our la>rd Jesus Christ did on Calvary. Every One A Champion Coach Hill Billings and his Edvnton \ces reached the zenith of their football ambitions when <m Saturday night they defeated Besse mer High School to become State Champions, thus ending the gridiron wars for thi- season. By the very nature of football some players are given more credit than other-, but a footbal 1 team, like a chain, is no stronger than the weakest player. Os course, the Aces have sev eral boys who stood out above the re-t. but all in all it was a combination of boys doing their particular job well. Not only the school, but the town as a whole is proud of their achievement which reflects not only good coaching, but following out instruc tions and playing good football <>n the part of the boy-. Their efforts on the gridiron have been re warded in winning the champion-hip. but even more important, the sport should benefit the boys physically and stand them in good stead in developing character and sportsman ship. * Make Every Day S-D Day It will be noted that Wednesday will be ob served-a* S-H Day (Safe Driving DayV when it is hoped all . pedestrians and automobile drivers wifi take: just a little more caution in preventing accidents.

C. Department of Motor Vehicles. Said Mr. Crowell: “Dear Mr. Bufflap: This is to tell you how pleased I Tam over the recent modernization of your 1 newspaper plant. I received today the fir-t eight-column edition <>f The Chou in Herald which certainly, a- you suggested editorially, makes the paper more attractive and interest ing. Wo follow your comment- and editorials on traffic safety with enthusiasm. It seems certain now we shall end the year with sub stantially fewer deaths than in 19.v>. a record we attribute in no small measure to public spirited newspaper editor- like yourself." With two Santa Clauses in Friday’s Christ . mas parade, one youngster in front of The Herald office said to his mother. "I thought there was only one Santa Claus." But the mother soon brought up an answer ' Well, don’t you see how many children are here?" she . asked. Hr bad to bring his brother along to help him out." Despite the fact that it was rather cold, the youngsters turned out in full force. 1 sort of pitied the majorettes in the F.denton. Wind-or and Plymouth band-, for 1 even heard a lady -av. "My feet are so cold I can hardly feel when they touch the pavement. ,> \nd speaking about the parade, it lacked something. With one of the tire trucks in the line of march. Cap'n Dick Hall wasn’t perched on the seat Instead, he w.o riding in the new emergency truck, where it wasn’t quite so cold. But anyway, he was in the parade for on the 25th of December he’ll not only celebrate Christmas, but his VRh birthday a- well. ,) \nyway. here- one who think- Friday’s Christmas parade was better than any held thus far. So my hat - off to the Fdenton Business and Professional Women’s Club for -pnn-nring the event, i- well t- all who in any way helped to make it a success and a big day for the kid dies. The 10-ing -i<i, in the Red Men - attendant conte-t -creed hot dog.- ind drink- at Monday night's meeting The “feed." should have been a little economical, for it was not necessary t<> but ice for the drink- The crates merely stood outdoor- and .!•■ be frank tin pop was cold enough. John R l.iwi- and (In- Bunch were captains of the 10-ing -ide and they -Mould have a iYatiir in their hat for feeding the crowd tiie following week lit* r tho contest closed. Chowan Count) - Court House wa- filled to capacity during the trial of C R. Betts la-t week Os eour-e. after the testimony wa - heard, the crowd thinned out. Wouldn’t Ive fine to -re -n many people eager to get into a church to hear -onuthing more elevating: Vnd -peaking about the Court House. Frank Miller wa- among thus* who wa- very busy during the week. \t (ine time he was jn -uch a hurry that he placed his hat on the window -ill. However, he -non picked it up, saying there were too many bare-headed people around the place to tru-t it on the window -ill. Ovster roasts are now in order, but a cer tain amount of etiquette should he exercised. At one held recently one fellow was busy put ting away oy-ters when a fellow next to him took out hi- handkerchief and blew his no.-e. That ended the oyster eating for the one fel low. Then 1 heard mother tell about one time he ate a lot of oysters and took a few snorts dur ing the oyster roast. He couldn’t figure out i which made him sick, but he quit eating oys ters. I have a number ot letters to Santa Claus on my desk, but have not had time even to open ’em. If nothing happens I'll get ’em in the paper next week; so don’t get excited, kiddies.' j Santa Claus will hear about 'em. - o Chowan County Commissioners were paid. I off for a year's work Monday. I don’t under stand it. for I've attended just about every meeting and Maurice Bunch didn’t even put my name in the pot. Town Councilmen will meet Tuesday night, so they’ll be getting paid for six months’ work. Their salary is, no I doubt, so “big” they are paid off twice a year instead of once. trians. 75 ’ ’o of the fatal pedestrian accidents occur-1 red in rural areas. 1,8'7 of the pedestrians involved in fatal .ac-j cident, had been drinking.
