—Mark 28:5-7.
THE POWER that rolled away the stone from the
tomb of Jesus is the same Power that created the
world and all therein, and is guiding the destinies of
those who come to Him through the Risen Christ.
Merciful Father, in gratitude for the miracle, of
Easter may we consecrate ourselves to the incoming
of Thy Kingdom among the nations of the world.
Another Hardship
Chowan County farmers who grow tobacco
face another hardship this year due to an in
crease in hail insurance rates which were ap
proved this week by Insurance Commissioner
Charles F. Gold in Raleigh.
Because Chowan County was among some
other counties to experience heavier damage
by hail last year, the rates have been boosted,
along with 24 other counties. The “poor” in
surance companies don’t want to take too much
risk. Because Chowan County was hard hit
last year does not necessarily mean that the
same conditions will prevail this year, but the
insurance companies want to take less risk
than the farmers.
We haven’t heard about any insurance com
pany going broke due to payment of claims, but
there’s plenty of farmers who can go broke or
so near to it that there’s little fun to it if their
crops are wiped out by the acts of nature. It
appears to The Herald that the rate boost in
Chowan is unfair. The insurance companies
should be as willing to gamble on an investment
as are the farmers who plant but know not what
they will reap.
Worthy Os Support
The amazing progress in caring for the crip
pled in this generation is one of the most im
portant observations noted in the undercurrent
of news released in conjunction with the 1956
Easter Seal campaign.
More has been accomplished for the crip
pled in our time than in all generations of man’s
civilization.
Improvement in techniques is one explana
tion for the progress. Another is the work of
both public and private agencies without whose
efforts scientific advances would be meaning
less.
Not many private organizations can match
the superlative contribution made by the Nat
ional Society for Crippled Children and Adults
and its affiliates, including the Chowan County
Easter Seal Society. For more than a quarter
century, these societies have been providing
care for the crippled and informing the public
of the crippled’s needs, spending Easter seal
dollars responsibly, wisely and well.
This is the time of year when residents of
Chowan 'County can again contribute to the
cause. The Easter Seal program is in the fin
est tradition of humanity and deserves sup
port. It continues through April 10.
. Fight Cancer With A Checkup
April, Cancer Control Month, is at hand.
The volunteers of the American Cancer So
ciety, like the voice of the turtle, will soon be
heard in the land. This year they will chorus
a catchy message: Fight cancer with a check
up and a check. We hope our readers will add
to this the best of refrains: check, double
check, and without further ado, join the act.
It’s the greatest life-saving production ever to
come to town.
By fighting cancer with a checkup, we can
realize the Society’s goal of doubling current
cancer cure rates through mass adoption of ear
ly detection and prompt treatment. Last year
80,000 persons died of cancer only because
treatment was begun too late. It cannot be
stressed too often that most cancers are cur
able if caught or better, if checked, in time.
By fighting cancer with a check, we are help
ing scientists to conquer cancer through re
search; we are helping cancer patients with a
Wide variety of comforting services at home and
ip hospitals, and we are helping the ACS to
spread life-saving knowledge of cancer through
out the Ration.
So how about a dress rehearsal ? Your cue is
to strike back at the disease that strikes one in
fiohr, two families in every tluee. Can you re
cite the seven danger signal? of cancer? Is
your checkbook, or wallet or your coin purse
dose by? The ASC volunteers are taking the

■HEARD&SEEN
UP By “Fuss”
There’s a good reason to get up early on
Easter morning. Three Easter sunrise services
are scheduled, one on the Court House Gi.nen
at 6:30 o’clock, sponsored by the Eden ton
Junior Chamber of Commerce, another at the
Center Hill Baptist Church at 6 o’clock, spon
sored by the up-county churches, and a third 1
at the Edenton Assembly of God Church at
the corner of First and Bond Streets. To at
tend either of these services might'provide an
opportunity for some people to see how the sun
looks when it rises. Os course, taking it for
granted the weather is fair. At any rate, Eas
ter apparently is the one day of the year when
a lot of people make their annua] visit to a
church. The front pews will, no doubt, get a
dusting-off, which should delight some of the
preachers who very seldom see the front seats
occupied.

Some members of the cast for the Senior
■Class play, which was presented in the Ele
mentary School Thursday night, didn’t even
get a program. All of the programs were dis
tributed to those who attended, so that none
were left. Members of the cast are, therefore,
sending out an SOS in the hope that some who
saw the play might still have the program. If
so, please notify Miss McCollum at the Junior-
Senior High School, for the actors and actresses
would like to save the programs as a souvenir.

Wilborne Harrell had some scrambled eggs
Friday, but he didn’t eat ’em. He bought a
dozen eggs and when in front of The Herald
office the bag slipped from his hand so that
every bloomin’ egg was smashed. Wilborne
bought another dozen for he just had to have
some eggs for breakfast.
o
Edenton Boy Scouts had a big time in the
armory Tuesday night when they staged a bar
becue supper and presented an interesting pro
gram. The boys sponsored the supper in an
effort to help raise enough money for every
Boy Scout to attend camp in the Blue Ridge
Mountains near Waynesboro, Va., this sum
mer. They’ll be sponsoring other projects to
help raise in the neighborhood of S9OO to,
cover the camping expenses,;and here’s hoping
everybody will BakJt up ih 'their efforts.
They’re a fine bunch of boys arid the duhping
trip should bfc of grdat benefit to ’em.

Rough boards just seem *tfr-be~th£_style in
the business section. In an unusual accident
part of the Cuthrell Department Store build
ing was torn out Tuesday morning, so that now
a portion of the second floor is boarded up.
Boards still close up a window at the Habit
Grocery and, of course, the building at the
corner of Broad and King Streets, to be occu
pied by Sears & Roebuck, and the telephone
building on East King Street still are boarded
up in front. Some boards disappeared this
week, however, for new plate glass was placed
in the Edenton Furniture Company store win
dows which was blown out by a strong wind
recently. Maybe we’ll soon get back to nor
mal and when all the repairs are completed
the business section Will appear more attrac
tive.
o
L. P. Chappell of the Belvidere community
was in town the other day selling country
smoked hams and I was asking him if a certain
other Chappell was a relative of his. “Yes,”
he said, “sort of a shirt-tail relative. His
great grandmother was a sister of my great
grandfather.” Well, I just let it go as a shirt
tail relative, for time’s too short to figure it out.
o
Arthur Hollowell wasn’t just acting sort of
shiekish parading around without his hat for a
few days. Fact of the matter, he walked out
of the Red Men meeting Monday night with
out the thing. Fortunately, he went back in
a few days and found the hat just where he had
left it. Here’s one who needs a hat, especially
when it’s raining, for the bald spot on fop of
the dome must be getting larger by the way
the rain drops feel.
o
Mary Gilliam just don’t have much patience
with all this trying to reduce stuff. A little on
the plump side, Mary says she would like to
reduce some, but that every time her stomach
growls a little bit, her mouth flies open and she
has to stuff something in it.
o
Edenfon’s business section is taking on a
new look with the new poles for the fluorescent
lights now in place. The new lights are said to
furnish much more lights than the old ones and
at the same time burn less electricity. May
be Some of us should get fluorescent lights in
our homes and business establishments when
we look at the light bills along about the first
of the month.

SURPRISE— It’s a toss-iip to whether this mother penguin is
more surprised by the cameraman or the newly hatched chick.
An Adelie penguin, she’s one of some 10,000 formally garbed in
habitants of the rookery on Ross Island in the Antarctic s Mc-
Murdo sound. A Navy photographer with the expedition pre
paring United States bases for participation in the forthcoming
International Geophysical Year snapped this rare picture. Penguin
mamas lay but one egg a year each.
WASHINGTON REPORT
City-To-City. The Winston-Sal
em Junior Chamber of Commerce
and Junior Woman’s Club have
just completed a project that’s at
tracting nation-wide attention. ,
The two organizations pooled 1
their effrts and waged a campaign
to send a gift of food from the city
of Winston-Salem to the city of
Karachi, Pakistan.
The actual transfer of the food
was handled by CARE, the inter
national relief organization.
The gift from Winston-Salem to
Karachi, the first city-to-city gift
sponsored in the United States,
was made up of 313,815 pounds of
surplus fobd. CARE arranged the
purchase of the food, from govern
ment surplus stocks at the rate of
one dollar per hundred pounds.
Last week, Senator W. Kerr
Scott made a speech on the pro
ject on the floor of the Senate.
Inspiration. “It took a lot of
hard work and a lot of time to
carry out this project,” Scott said,
“and it is the sort of thing that is
a great inspiration for all of us.”
Scott placed in the Congressional
Record the complete story of the
extensive fund raising campaign
the Jaycees and Junior Woman’s
Club sponsored -in order to raise
the total amount of $3,138.15 that
went into the project.
Tobacco. Figures just released
by the Department of Agriculture
show that 53.6 per cent of North
Carolina’s cash farm receipts come
from tobacco. This is the largest
percentage of any state.
Next to tobacco, livestock, sur
prisingly, is next in importance to
Tar Heel farmers as far as cash
receipts are concerned. Livestock
accounts for 23.9 per cent of the
total cash receipts.
Surprisingly small is the per
centage that cotton accounts for—
only 7.4. Poultry and poultry pro
ducts account for 9.8 per cent and
dairy products account for 6 per
cent.
Chickens. Here is an excerpt
from an interesting editorial in a
recent edition of the St. Louis Post-
Dispatch:

Our feeling is that this makes it
practically unanimous. The au
thority for the way fowls feel
about it is a poultry expert at
■ Michigan State University. He
says poultry-raisers should knock
or call out before entering the pens.
They should cultivate a good nest
side manner. Their first thought
should be to induce their hens at
all costs to remain calm.
“The hens will respond to this
respect for their finer feelings,
says the expert, by laying more
eggs. This is the way of express
ing gratitude that is both tangible
and practical . .■. ” «
So goes the editorial from a very
distinguished newspaper. And any
body who knows anything about
chickens agrees.
Okay. They w T in. Next time
there will be a point made to knock
before entering the chicken house.
Now, who’s going to speak to the
rooster who makes it his business
to wake up us poor bedraggled hu
mans every morning before day
light.

Counting Calories
How often we hear that abund
ant America is the best fed coun
try in the world! Praise for the
varied American diet is frequently
expressed in terms of “calories”—
we may hear, for example, that the
people of less fortunate lands have
only so many calories a day in
their diet compared with the high
' calorie content of the average
American diet.
Ip these days, when so many
people are conscious of their
weight, we hear about “counting
calories.” We take this to mean
that people who are overweight
avoid rich foods. But the fact is
that everybody, even those whose
weight is normal, should be con
cerned with calories—not so much
with counting them but with dis
tinguishing between two different
