A LIFT FOR TODAY ★ For other foundation can no rrjan lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. —I. Cor. 3:11. OUR LIVES must be built upon eternal values, foundations that cannot be moved. Christ is the ehly foundation that cannot be destroyed. Help us, O Lord, to build live* that may be ac ceptable unto Thee. * Prompt Action Needed What a few people learned at a meeting held in the Court House Thursday night should be (mown -by a larger number of people. The meet ing was called by the Professional Women’s Club i relative to securing a mental health clinic for the health district which comprises Chowan, Per quimans, Pasquotank and Camden counties. [ The speaker for the occasion was Lorimer Mid gett of Elizabeth City, whose only interest is for this section to get one of the mental health clinics scheduled for the state, nine of which are already in ’operation and the Albemarle area pin pointed for the tenth. ' Progress toward securing this clinic was ma terially boosted Monday when the Chowan County Commissioners appropriated SI,OOO to ward Chowan’s quota of $1,500 for the first year’s operation of the clinic. Up until that time Camden, Perquimans and Pasquotank had solicited funds for the clinic, but no action what ever had been taken in Chowan. Now that the Commissioners have started the ball rolling, some organization or individual should take the lead in sponsoring a campaign to rgise the remainder of the county’s quota. A definite decision iftust be made and $6,000 as sured in the district by early in July if the area is not to lose the clinic. It is understood that another eastern town is very anxious to secure the clinic if the Albemarle area does not take up with the proposition, which will be aided by state and federal funds. Mintal health clinics, which provide psychiatric treatment, for men, women and children with the lfess severe mental disorders, have been able to help their patients to resume healthy, useful lives. Hut clinib treatment is available to relatively few. There are only about 1,200 clinics in the entire country, and about half of these give only part timb service. One state has no clinic service of any-kind; some have only one or two clinics in the entire state. More than half the clinics are located in the northeastern portion of the coun ry, which contains only one-fourth of the popu lation. There should be at least one clinic for every 50,000 in the population, or about 3,300 full-time clinics. . Mental illness is the single most rapidly grow ing item in state budgets. The total expenditure has tripled in the past decade and in some states accounts for as much as 30% of the operating budget. More wording years of life are lost because of disorders than for any other group of Buy Now and Save! f f 4-in. was sl.lO now 75c' 6-in. was $1.15 . . . . . . . . now 80c . v 8-in. was $1.25 *.... .... now II ? was $1.40 ....... now $1.05 . • ,1 j II GUY c.

" • o I got a good answer at home the other day. Tasting one of my favorite dishes, I remarked,' “What makes this stuff so salty?” The Missus promptly supplied the answer with, “Well, I sup pose I put salt in it when I cooked it.” o- It was hard last Thursday night to tell if some of the Edenton Masons were right-handed or left handed. The Masons "had a barbecued pork chop supper and some pf the boys were using both hands, each of which made a direct hit with the open mouth every time. o- Bob Marsh was the target for ribbing at last week’s Rotary meeting. In fact Bill Rosevear, edi tor of the “Edenton Rotary Club Echoes,” devot ed the whole paper to Bob and his bride, Miss Lou ise Wilson, who were rqarried Saturday. One of the Rotarians asked Bob if it would be all right to kiss the’bride after the “wedding. “Yes,” said Bob, “but I don’t want to see you kissing her five or six years from now.” o Yours truly joins the Legionnaires in expressing regret that John Holmes last week was defeated in the race for department commander of the American Legibn.

Nope, it’s not covered up on my desk. o Mrs. Jimmy Earnhardt played the roll of a Boy Scout at the General Federation of Women’s Clubs held in Asheville. Vice President and Mrs. Rich ard Nixon and two daughters attended the conven tion but there was too much to do so that the vice president and his wife had no time to shop. Mrs. Earnhardt saw to it that the girls, Patricia and Ju lie did. Anyway, Mrs. Earnhardt and Misfc Kathryn Brown were very much enthused at the meeting, where Edenton received a lot of recognition. ■ : —O Earl White beat Asa Griffin to the draw this year. Usually Asa is about the first to bring in a cotton bloom, but Wednesday morning Earl White brought in a pink bloom which he plucked in a field on the Hayes Farm. Time was when July 4th was considered early for a cotton bloom. o Members of the Pocahontas-held a bake sale and while - discussing the sale -one of the members, thinking about taking cake to the sale, asked, “What should I put over the cake?” She was ad vised by another member, “I usually put icing over my cakes.” illnesses which disable workers during their life time. It is estimated that over 2,000,000 work ing years of life are lost by new patients ad mitted to mental hospitals each year. This amounts to about $4,000,000,000 in potential net earnings. It costs the U. S. public more than one billion dollars a year in taxes to care for mental patients, or about $3,000,000 every day of the year. About SI,OOO to $20,000 could be saved for each patient released. THE CHOWAN HOULLP, fePENtOH.. N6*rtH&H*wytea Jtml 29. Us7. AffllM lK HUMS M CHOWAN By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent - l-_. i i.L _ :i.s ■ ' - : . . J' _One of the worst- infestations of thrips has appeared in peanut fields over Chowan County; The extreme hot weather, coupled with the thrip injury is causing some of the bud leaves and tops of other leaves to have, a parch ed* appearance. Many growers have mistaken this for a disease but field observation shows it to beta result of thrip injury. The way to ward off thrip in jury is to make an application of Ardin or Heptachlor just prior to the first .or second cultivation. In fields where this has not been done an application may be applied at this time and culti vation should immediately fol low. Ten per cent Heptachlor should be applied at the rate qf 15 to 20 pounds per acre. Ten per cent Ardin should be ap-. plied at the rate of 20 pounds per sacre or 20% at the rate of 10 pounds per acre. These in secticides will also help to con trol the root worm which at tacks the young peanuts when they are formed. Root worms usually work more in medium to heavy land. On land where the root worm is not a problem, cboper sulphur containing 5% DDT may be ap plied at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. This material will also control the early infesta tion of leaf spot diSbase. In either case, a regular schedule of cooper sulphur should be fol lowed in July to control the leaf spot disease. 4-H Elimination Day The 4-H Elimination Day was held at Chowan High School on Wednesday, June 12. The Coun ty Agent worked with the trac tor driving contest, of which Ronald Perry was declared the winner, with Zackie Harrell placing second. If you don’t believe these farm boys, can do a good job handling a farm trac tor, you should attend this an nual Elimination Day and ob serve. Visit Other Produce Markets Linwood Layton, manager of the Chowan County Produce Ex change, and the County Agent visited the' Mt. Olive and Fai son vegetable markets on Thurs day to learn morfe about grad ing and packing cucumbers for market. I believe we obtained the desired information add Ms. Layton and his co-workers have started in with a good fellow-up on Friday and Saturday. The vegetable markets have encountered a period of low prices. This cannot be helped,' but the local market appears to be doing a' good job with Mr.l Layton as manager. Dry Weather In Chowan 1 Dry weather is beginning to! seriously affect crops over Cho-. wan County. It is dryer in some areas than in others, but reports are coming from'all sec tions of the county. Farmers who have irrigation equipment can make use of it to a good advantage by putting on one and, one-quarter inches of water per week at the present time. The! weather forecasts continue to speak of scattered showers but the showers appear to be so scattered that they are com pletely missing us.

Continued from Pag* I—Section 1 ■ part of the state had been pin- E pointed for the tenth. How 1, ever, Mr. Midget pointed out '• f that another city some 80 miles. ’ distant wanted to secure the clinic and that this district will have until early July to decide ■ ,if the clinic is to locate within .the health district. . I The closest one now in opera | tion is at Greenville, Mr. Mid gett stated, and that so many pa- I tients have been admitted that .additions are planned to be made. . | The clinic will have to do I with child guidance, alcoholism . and mental and emotional dis [ turbances in people of all ages, , as well as an educational pro gram in the community in men , tal health. The Medical Association and other individual laymen in the ; four counties, realizing the pres-, i ent and future need of such a .'clinic, have endorsed this es . fort to the end that one might i be established in one of the four > counties most convenient for all 1 concerned. t| At Thursday night’s meeting, > which was sponsored by the Edenton Business and Profes sional Women’s Club, Mr. Mid ■ gett gave a brief history of the • mental health clinic and stated'] that if Chowan County would' t not join in the effort to secure * the clinic, it would go to some pother town. | He was amazed to learn, he I said, that at least half of the ; I hospital beds in North Carolina* 'la|e occupied bf patiehts due to: disturbances, many cases ; of which might have been pre ! vented if services of a mental I clinic had been available. He also expressed surprise that ministers and school officials are acquainted with so many cases ’ mental disorders which need I I treatment. j Mr. Midgett said he was not. (especially concerned where the l mental clinic would be located, ( but that he was reluctant to see this section of the state lose an opportunity to secure an institu tion which can 1 mean so much to the health and welfare of the various communities. Though the Commissioners .have agreed to appropriate SI,OOO for the purpose, it now j remains for some organization or individual to head up a cam paign to secure the extra SSOO needed.
