WHILE WE MAY NOT always recognise God’s omnipresence, we do know that -following his Jaws brings security and happiness. The path of the Lord is straight, clearly marked v/ith love and understanding. Merciful One. hasten the day when all the peo ples of the earth shall find Thee and be delivered from all their fears. Good Start - : The Chamber of Commerce is off to a good start, with the income from memberships surpassing the minimum goal of $12,000 set when the idea of re viving a Chamber of Commerce was advanced, and it is expected that the amount will reach possi bly $15,000 when all memtiPrships are in, not counting what amounts have been pledged. On the strength of the funds in hand. a.group of directors were elected at a meeting held Mon day night in the Court House and these directors’ are scheduled to meet this (Thursday) afternoon in the Municipal Building for the purpose of electing officers for the new organization and make ne cessary changes in the tentative by-laws and con stitution which was adopted at Monday night’s meeting. Enthusiasm and interest in the Chamber of Com merce continues to be encouraging and With' a group of capable directors, there is little reason why the venture should not be a success and re dound to the progress and Welfare of'Edenfbm' The next important step is to employ the right sort of manager who will act as “salesman” for Edenton and Chowan County. But evert when this is done, there will still remain much work ahead hot only for the directors, but the entire member ship of the Chamber of Commerce. To be what it should be, the Chamber of Com merce will need a large group of people working as one toward one end—the progress and welfare of the community. The degree of this achieve ment will, of course, not a few but all who have made an investment in the venture should be willing to cooperate and do his pr her. part to bring Edenton to the forefront. It takes brains, vision and perspiration to make any business grow. Useless advice: when in ignorance, or in doubt,' keep your mouth shut. Making plans is easy; the r.ub comes when it comes to carrying them out. _ 1 Self-control is a great virtue but few individuals even seek to attain it. One lesson to learn in life is that times--chatrge and so do other things. Nothing is more ludicrous than the litjle man who takes himself too seriously. I NOTICE!

BUNCH I I SHERIFF OF CHOWAN COUNTY I \MJ4eard & ddeen i ill Byßufj | Yep, they come big in Chowan County—that’s -Sweet potatoes, I’m talking about. The other day Julian Ward, whose farm is in the Ryland section, brought to town a sweet potato which measured 32. inches long. Maybe they’ll soon be selling .sw£et potatoes by the foot instead of by the pound. o . I note that the “O” Wives Club will sponsor a fashion show at the Edenton base Saturday night, October 19. One of the ladies called up to tell me that ladies will be charged one buck admission but that men will be admitted free. There’s a catch to it, fellows—but it will no doubt cost you if ypu attend or not. , O This is fair week and for a change the Legion naires have been having good weather for their annual evgnt. A lot of folks have gone or will go ouUto the fair, but one fellow I know will not. The. Missus asked her husband to take her out. but he asked, "What do you want to see?” The wife replied, “Well, I like to look at the vegetable display.” She didn’t get very far, for her hus band said, “Well, if that’s all you want to see, go down to the P & Q Super Market or the D & M Superette and take a look in the vegetable depart ment.” * o • Edenton’s firemen were busy the latter part of last week cleaning up and greasing the old Reo Speed Wagon, Edenton’s first fire truck which was acquired by the town in 1923. The firemen were planning to parade around town Monday, the open ing day of Fire Prevention Week, and they wanted .‘Leaping Lena in the parade. The old relic fin ished up parading with the other more modern trucks and attracted quite a little attention. o Edenton’s Aces had a good taste of defeat Fri day night, the first of the season, at the hands of the Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets. The Aces were far from par Friday night, so here’s hoping they snap out of it next Friday night when they meet what is reported to be a stubbprn Tarboro aggre gation in a conference game. The Aces have a clean conference record, but Tarboro will be gun -ning to knock 'em off. Town Councilmen were held in session until af ter 11 o’clock Tuesday night, so late that most of the boys raced home without making the usual .-.Visit to Mayor Ernest Kehayes’ case. Anyway, John Mitchener, Ernest J. Ward, Jr., and yours truly, felt a bit “Hongary”, and we had our appe tites appeased. o -A traveling man was sort of lucky the other night. He ate supper at the Albemarle Restaurant and after eating he went to the Taylor Theatre. Near the end of the picture he realizd he didn’t have his raincoat, so he rushed back to the case, butdt was closed. Then, thinking that he might have overlooked it in *he theatre, he went back to 'd'fes'-Soati He didn t see his raincoat, but did see his wallet which unbeknowing to him. had work ed out of his pocket. Lucky for him, it was good the case was dosed, for he got his raincoat the next morning and left, nothing out, except the price of the meal and theatre admission. Don Dalton presented a very interesting program at last week’s Rotary Club when he showed slides of a" goodly number of pictures he took while he •and his wife were in Turkey. He has a good rec ollection, for he told something about each picture he flashed on the screen. Bennett’s Mill Pond is now beginning to take on its former appearance since Ernest Kehayes has done a lot of work. The pond is gradually filling up with water and he says “there’s some fish in them thar waters.” But there's three less bass, for I caught ’em the other day. Maybe Ben nett's Mill Pond will again attract a gang of fish ermen. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1867. KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECOMTY P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad ministration. is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro. ' lina Employment Security Commission in Citisens Bank Building. . Those clergymen who did not file waiver certificates before April 15, 1957, and lost tfieir right to elect coverage as self-employed persons under the old-age, surviv ors, and disab ty insurance pro gram now have another chance. An amendment to the Internal Revenue Code which President Eisenhower signed into law on August 30, 1957, gives them an extended period of two more vears (in. general, through April 15. 1959) to secure old-age, sur vivors, and disability protection for themselves and their families. Ministers who file waivers dur ng this extended, period will be mandatorily cohered for 1956 and ( subsequent years for which they have net earnings from self-em ployment of S4OO or more, includ ing earnings froiii the pursuit of their ministry. In addition, any minister who filed a waiver be fore August 31, 1957, but who fil ed it too late to secure coverage; for 1956, may elect coverage for 1956 by filing a supplemental wai ver during the extended period. The law does not permit minis-! ters to elect coverage retroactive-! ly for 1955.* The amended law does not change the 2-year deadline for a minister who files a waiver after ihe close of the extended period, to begin hie social security cover age with 1958 or a later year. He will have lost his chance to elect coverage unless he files his wai ver on or before the due date of his Federal income tax return (including any extension thereof) for his second taxable year after 1954 in which he has net earnings from self-employment of S4OO or) more, some portion of which isj from the exercise of his ministry, j For example, a minister who has! such earnings in 1955 and 1959 must file his waiver on or before April 15, 1960. Ministers who file waivers af ter the close of the extended pe riod ordinarily will be covered for the first as well as the second Champion ZCourbon A^jSchenki| * 8 Years Old *985 »4H dmJ Pint ' t : year of their ministry in these ! years are- consecutive. For ex : ample, a person who becomes a I minister in 1958 and who files a • waiver on or before April 15, 1960, ■ will be mandatorily covered both . for 1958 and for 1959 if in each 1 of those years he has net earn : ings from self-employment of i S4OO or more, some portion of which is from the exercise of his ministry. Under the old law, a ! minister could not elect coverage for any year for which the return filing date had passed. The new law also provides that ministers will now include as net ‘, earnings for social security pur poses, (1) the rental value of a parsonage or rental allowance ■t furnished them as part of their ■ | compensation and (2) the value ' of meals and lodging furnished ’ them for the convenience of their employer. This change in the law affects ministers’ liability for M self employment tax but does not otherwise affect their liability for income tax. This provision is es ■ j section for taxable years ending ; on or after December 31, 1957, ex ■jeept that, for the purpose of the [ retirement test under old-age and ■ survivors insurance, it becomes 1 effective with taxable years be ginning after August, 1957. Through misunderstanding, ■ some non-profit church-related ’ organizations erroneously report ; ed the remuneration of certain or dained ministers performing : teaching or administrative duties, 1 and erroneously paid the employ - 1 er and employee social security taxes. The amended law pro ; vides that the remuneration re ’ ported as paid to these ministers ; i in 1955 and 1956 shall be treated j as if correctly reported, and not 1 as not earnings from self-employ -1 ment, to the extent that the em -1 ployer tax or employee tax was not credited or refunded before August 31, 1957. Prayer is not eloquence but earnestness. —Hannah More. Objection Registered i To Beer-Wine License The Rev. Lamar Sentell, pastor of Ballard’s Bridge Baptist , Church, appeared before the < County Commissioners Monday to register a protest to issuing a li cense to sell beer and wine at a I location near Cross Roads. Mr. j Sentell told the Commissioners that the place is in close prox imity of a school and church and that many people in the neighbor hood are vitally concerned about the matter and if necessary will sign a petition protesting the is suance of a license to sell beer and wine. No request was presented for a license at Monday’s meeting, so that the Commissioners tabled the matter until the next meeting in order to make an investigation. 60 JAILED IN SEPTEMBER Jailer Herman White reports that during September a total of 60 people were placed in the Cho- , wan County jail with confine ments ranging from one day to 30 days. The expense amounted to $621.19 which included jail and turnkey fees, scouring the jail, telephone bill and soap and pow der. f ill, »vnnnu ;f ■■ ' * v . ** # jg*. iqS uh ; Vmr *' JnnHS i e ■ ■ 1 1 W VVake up W^derful! y.,.',..,..' ..... /.
