A LIFT FOR TODAY ★ He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his 'God, and he shall be my son. —Revelation 21:7. DIVINELY ENDOWED with intelligence and understanding, we as Christians should develop these abilities so that God may express his power and love through us. Let us remember that we are a vital part of God’s plan for His Work in this world, and that with His presence we can achieve our goal of good, becoming the children of the Living God. For Thy sustaining grace and love, we thank Thee. O God. We Salute ’Em Though Chowan County is one of the small est in the State Chowan Home Demonstration Clubs proved that size is no particular handi cap to quality. The Chowan Club women took second place in the publicity book contest at Farm-Home Week last week, being led by Mecklenburg by only one point. The honor reflects initiative, hard work and knowledge of home demonstration club activi ties, so that the women are to be congratulated upon their outstanding achievement. The Herald is glad to have had an opportuni ty in cooperating in a small way with the club women, and salutes the ladies for giving Meck lenburg County a tight race for first honor. “Be Safe-Be Seen” Modern mechanized equipment has been a major factor in revolutionizing agricultural techniques that had been virtually unchanged for centuries. This equipment is absolutely es sential to successful farming today, and to the continued existence of the family-sized farm which is the backbone of all American agri culture. At the same time, like all mechani cal innovations, it has led to a safety problem. It can be dangerous if misused. The farm equipment industry has been car rying on an aggressive safety program. It is obvious that the great majority of accidents connected with the use* of tractors and other equipment are the direct result of human care lessness, ignorance, and apathy. Young chil dren are allowed to run the machines—and di saster is thus invited. Farmers make mechani cal changes or additions of their own devising and these, more often than not, create critical special hazards. All kinds of elementary safe ty rules are ignored—and the casualty statistics mount. Special emphasis is being put on proper lighting for equipment which is moved on roads. The industry’s motto in thisris “Be safe —be seen”, and that covers the situation like a glove. Many an unlighted or inadequately lighted tractor has been driven down a road at night, to come to crashing grief and to bring death or serious injury to its driver ahd others. The equipment makers are doing everything possible to build safety into the machines. They are publicizing safety instructions and messages. The rest is up to the user. He, and he alone, can stop the chance-taking that acci dents feed fat on. Later Than You Think Many of you who are reading this have been, are, or will soon depart on your summer va cation. If you have chosen the resorts with the expectation of rubbing elbows with many peo ple, old acquaintances or strangers, you have not been or will not be disappointed. By all accounts the resort business is booming. But if you rub elbows with people all the rest of the year, if your problem is a surfeit of crowds, and your choice has been to slip off where you might gain refreshment from the quiet of the hills, or plains, or shores, then the story is likely to be different. Two of this newspaper’s correspondents made the second choice and have reported their experiences. One set out in a trailer with his family into Western mountains and along Pa cific shores. At the entrance to one state park he found the All-Sites-Taken sign up at mid aftemoon, and, looking back, he saw stalled cars and trailers, bumper to bumper, looking like a “hill-and-dale stream of refugees” before an invading army. The other took his family and headed for an AUgntic beach—not for a resort, but for a stretch that would bring the family close to na ture rather than to people, i He found a state reservation. But when the family pitched their tebt for the night the area was overcrowded and the camp facilities overtaxed. > he learned, there isn’t another can si. K’u ' l ’ y Jdeard & .Seen | ’ By Buff 1 i ’ His picture, but not words, gave Johnny Kra mer, star quarterback of the Edenton Aces, who will be missing from this year’s lineup due to going to a prep school, a lot of publicity Tues day morning. The News and Observer car ried a story about two star football players in the National Football League. The two stars concerned were Ron Kramer of Michigan and Paul Hornung of Notre Dame. Pictures of the two stars were included in the paper ex cept the Kramer picture was that of Edenton’s Jchnny Kramer —unless Ron Kramer is a split image of Johnny. Apparently the guy who got the picture out of the N & O morgue picked up the wrong Kramer. o Two happy parents are Mr. and Mrs. Her bert Hollowell, Jr., who have just s4opted a daughter, Martha Jo Hollowed. And Herbert is no piker, for he sent Calvin Foxwell, who works in his drug store, down to The Herald office with a handful of oigars. “Mr. Hollowed says, pass ’em around,” said Calvin, and, that’s what we did. Congratulations! o It was very pleasant last week when it turn ed cool for a couple of nights, so much so that covers felt pretty good. One local lady got so cold one night she got up and put on her hus band’s long johns, but when she passed the mirror and saw herself she figured she looked so "hot” she crawled out of the things. o Somebody was telling me the other day about a wedding where the bride’s brother, who ap parently didn’t have ad his buttons, was one of the attendants. It appears that the bride was waiting to march down the aisle, but the broth er didn’t see the bridegroom. Presently, the brother told his sister, “Sue, you might as well go on down there and get married, for it don’t look like Bid is coming.” o And speaking about weddings, we printed some invitations the other day and after the job was completed it was discovered that the last “i” in Virginia was .omitted, so that the invitations had to be reprinted. I told the new bride about having to print the job twice, whereupon she said, “Why didn’t you save the ones with the error, for I could have sent ’em to some of my ignorant relatives?” o— It isn’t exactly football weather and nobody knows it any better than the group of high schools boys who began this week to practice in preparation for the coming football sea son. The boys have been working out twice daily even when in some cases the mercury hovered around the 90-degree mark. It’s tough, but this training is the foundation on which the Aces must develop a good football machine. Now is the time for the boys to get in proper physical condition. Having received this, they will be better able to play the game. Advance reports are to the effect that the Aces will be a strong aggregation again this year, so here’s hoping they’ll uncork some good games for the local fans. Anyway, with football prac tice time rolling around, it’s about time for the weather man to take notice. One fellow after Monday’s scorcher, said he didn’t expect to complain next winter, no matter how cold it got. o Town Councilmen had a narrow escape Tues day night. You see the meetings usually last pretty long but Tuesday night’s meeting was over a little before 10 o’clock. Mayor Kehayes always invites the “boys” to his restaurant for a little snack before hitting the hay, but, of course, that is if the restaurant has closed for the night. It wasn’t long after closing hours Tuesday night when the Councilmen went to the restaurant and by a matter of minutes got a free hand-out. But let any of the Council men eat at Ernest’s place during regular hours and they’d have to fork up just like any other person. There’s no respector of persons then, you see. f parable reservation along the shore from Maine to Cape Hatteras. And when he returned home and checked with the National Park Service he found that of the 3,700 miles of Atlantic and Gulf shoreline from Canada to Mexico only 240 miles are in state or federal hands reserved for public recreation. Why? Because the peo ple, and hence their Congress, are still bemused by the traditional picture of America’s terri* torial vastness. Yet ponder these figures; The National Park Service says it is property equipped to 4ake care of not more than 30,000,000 visitors a year; last year 48,000,000 swarmeii in; by 1966, the service’s centennial year, jt expects 80,000,000. And providing all these vacation er* is an American population to reach 240,000,000 before the end of the cen tury. —Ch*istun ScixNCf MoNjm THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, HOftTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. \PfltlgTls, 1967. Club Women Will ] Plan For Program Program Planning time is here again for the Horne Demonstra tion Club women,.according to' Miss Maidred Morris, Home agent. The project leaders and commit tee leaders will meet on Thurs day and Friday afternoons of this week at the Chowan Community Building to plan their program for next year. “Each club should be sure that they have several from) their club at each day’s meeting to help plan our year’s program,” i Miss Morris urges. I The main purpose of this meet-' ing is to give the women the op portunity to plan a program fori the year that will be most help- t ful and interesting to them as homemakers. Stream Clearance Survey In Chowan Continued from Page I—-Section 1 Camden and Currituck. Sep tember 20 is the scheduled fin ishing date for these areas. George H. Orrell, who is co ordinating the surveys in the district office, will contact town and county commissioners and representatives of the Soil Con servation Service August 5-16 to map plans for surveying the last group of counties. i Final reports on New Han over, Pender and Sampson coun-: ties and Clinton have been sub mitted to the Federal Civil De fense Administration’s FCDA regional office ip Thomasville, Ga. Reports on succeeding coun ties are being forwarded as they are completed. Colonel Rowland explained that the Corps of Engineers has: been designated to make the surveys, award the contracts and ■upervise the stream clearance work for the FCDA. He empha sized that the Corps of Engineers make no decisions or recom mendations concerning the mer its of any project. Approval and disapproval of the several applications or any parts of them are strictly FCDA re sponsibilities. * ' Surveying crews cover the streams in the most practical manner. They use both jeeps and boats, but in most instances they walk making a count by miles of the number of up rooted trees and noting debris which tends to obstruct the nor- j mal runoff of water. - BLOODSHED BOXSCORE OK N.C HIGHWAYS Raleigh The Motor Vehicles Department’s summary of traffic deaths through 10 A.
