TUfFTSTfiZir * Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it also unto me. —Matthew 25:40. BEAUTIFUL DOINGS of thy soul shall not per ish unremembered; they abide forever, and the food thou doest nobly, truth and love approve. ;ach pure and gentle deed of mercy brings an honest recompense, and from it looms the sov ereign knowledge of thy duty done, a joy beyond all dignities of earth. From the doorway of an old hospital in Philadelphia. Almighty God. teach us to keep the law of love, sharing our blessings with all men.' Distressing News Information to the effect that the Edenton Na val Auxiliary Air Station is scheduled to close, with the most distant date set at not later than January, 1959, is, to say the least, very distressing ing news in Edenton. With greatly curtailed mili-- tary funds, many bases will be closed and some have not as long a lease on life as does the one at Edenton, for they will go out of business almost immediately. Os course, there is no assurance as to exactly how long the Edenton base will remain in opera tion. Vital turn of events can take place in a very short time, so that it is altogether possible that it might not be closed. However as matters now stand the base is included on the “gray list,” mean ing that operations will cease when present appro priations have been spent. Edenton will greatly miss the Marines if and when they leave Edenton not only from an eco nomic point of view. Edentonians and Marines, ever since they were stationed in Edenton, have had very cordial and friendly relations. Most of the Marines have taken a kindly liking to Edentrn which is evidenced by letters received from some who have been sent elsewhere and some even be coming so attached to the town that they have de cided to make it their future home. While The Herald hopes no untoward incident will crop up on the world horizon to make it ne cessary to keep the base in operation, still, it is hoped that a need for the base will be realized, so that it will not be necessary to close it. Where Discipline Is Needed Puppies invariably make a mess of homes—un til they are sternly disciplined and taught to be clean and decent members of the family. One wishes that a similar discipline could be imposed on the “litterbugs” who strew discarded paper, beer cans, empty bottles and all manner of other rubbish and dirt along the highways, in rec reation areas, and in beauty spots throughout the nation. The litterbugs have the crude manners of un trained puppies—without any of the puppies’ ex cuses. A Lesson From The Robins During a hot day in May two robins were fight ing at a bird bath, thus preventing each from bath ing. Then something happened. They quit fight ing and bathed side-by-side. Free men living in a union of friendly states have learned that more is gained by working to gether, but in many parts of the world men are still fighting. In two minutes the robins discovered fighting is futile—men take longer to learn. Money is not the most important thing in life, despite the fact that quick-rich and slick-rich think so. jlmfe jg Thousands Going by Plane...Bus...Car... B ft Hobbs Implement Co., Inc. I I f 'Wtf. y By Buff ! Sidney White called at my home the. other night ! and said he wanted to show me something—and he did. He had a rattlesnake stfc feet long which had 10 rattles. In fact the snake looked like some seen in circuses. Sid killed the snake near his home in the Paradise section where, he says, he has killed quite a few rattlers. o Time was when a ■ fellow in this neck of the woods had to go to Ocean View to catch spots and croakers, but they’re right at our door now. The youngsters in the recent fishing rodeo at the coun ty dock caught a lot of small spots and fisher men report catching a lot of spots and croakers out in the Albemarle Sound. Rick Allsbrook thg other day caught a croaker out from Sandy Point Beach which he says was as large as any caught in the Chesapeake Bay. Besides, even a lot of mullets are being caught in front of the Court House Green. . o It was mighty warm in the Masonic Temple Thursday night when the Masons conferred the third degree. Bill Adams thought of air condition ing and passed around some fans. However, he struck a snag when he came to Ernest Kehayes. "Don’t bring a fan here,” said Ernest, “unless you want to stand in front of me and shake that fan.” But Bill continued on his way and Ernest sweat ed some more. o Last week Asa Griffin provided the Red Men with a goodly pile of watermelons and everyone on hand was full as a tick when they left the county dock. Tonight Lonnie Harrell will pro vide the watermelons for the Masons, which will be devoured at 7:30 prior to an emergent com munication of the lodge. Maybe the lodge should have an elevator to carry the boys to the second floor. o Edenton firemen* now have two telephones at the fire station but they want it understood that one is for reporting fires only. The number 2727 should be called only for fires, and for othef pur poses the number is 3115. So don’t try to have a conversation on the fire telephone which could be detrimental in getting firemen to a fire later than necessary. o Over, at Colerain Saturday afternoon the sun was boiling down and Masons in the Colerain Ma sonic hall were busy wiping perspiration and exer cising fans T. B. Williford distributed. At the same time several wasps were flying around rather close and seemed sort of friendly, but one of the Masons said, “I’m not going to mess with it be cause the bloomin’ thing might not feel like play ing.” o There is one less Bufflap in this neck of the woods. This has come about by the fact that my grahddaughter, Miss Sondra Bufflap of Wil liamston, went and got married last week. Her new name is Mrs. Haywood Lindell Ward. o The weather man turned friendly of late in this section. In the first place recent rains arrived in time to do some crops a lot of good. In the sec ond place a fellow was about melted until Mon day and Tuesday nights, when, if sleeping in birth day clothes, it was necessary to hunt for covering before morning. The change. in temperature the last few days was very welcome. o Wilborne Harrell caused some commotion in The Herald office Wednesday morning when he arrived for work diked out in a rodeo cowboy hat. Some of the boys call him “two-gun Harrell” but he was not rigged up with spurs, holster and guns. o Edenton is a bit more normal now. Dave Hol ton, who has been in Raleigh a few years, is back in town and will go into the small loan business in the office formerly used by C. B. Mooney. Dave’s friends are glad to have him back as an Edenton citizen. o Hurley Ward brought in twin cantaloupes and twin watermelons from his farm Saturday. I wanted to buy one of each, but he wouldn’t sepa rate the things. Anyway a picture of ’em appears on the front page. THE CHOWAN HEHALb, Kt>Elf!‘OH, NOR’rtl CAROUIU. fHtffllfrAT. AOOOftT A IIP.

Thousands Os Farmers Plan To See 1957 Farmorama Sept. sth Hobbs Implement Company, lo cal John Deere dealer, announces that the 1,000-acre farm stage is being set at Monroe, Georgia, for the biggest equipment demonstra tion ever to be held in the South east. The September 5 mammoth exhibition is expected to top by thousands the estimated 30,000 Farmorama visitors in 1956. The first cars of a trainload of farm equipment have already been un loaded and assembled for the spectacle. » With the cooperation of the Up per Ocmulgee Soil Conservation District, and the Town of Mon roe, George, John Deere Plow Company of Chamblee is making | grand preparations at Deere Acres, the machinery company’s 1,000-acre training farm. C. M. Haasl, vice president and general manager of the machinery company’s Chamblee Branch said: “Complete farming systems wall be featured rather than the mere, demonstrating of individual farm operations - . 'For instance, I the completely mechanized handling’ of an entire hay crop will be sea-j tured showing every related op-! eration from mowing and condi- - tioning to storing hay with ma-j chinery.

Industrial tractors and a com plete assortment of loaders, back hoes, bulldozers and special ma terial-handling equipment of un usual interest to businessmen will be demonstrated in their on-the job work clothes. Crop planting on the 1,000-acre training farm has been carefully scheduled so that demonstration fields will have crops in the prop er state of development to accom modate all field work. Soy beans planted August 1 will provide a’ crop suitable for September row crop cultivation. Early corn and cotton will mature for September 5 harvesting. Oats, rye and crim son clover, seeded the last of July, will provide an early winter graz ing demonstration plot for the Farmorama. And, regardless of its maturity, the preceding alfal fa crop will be cut so that the hav demonstration will be conducted in a mature crop, kept on sched ule by irrigation.
