Ii any man be in Christ, h$ is a neWbrea ture, old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. —II Corinthians 5:17. LIFE IS refined and made beautiful—acceptable to the Saviour—through our obedience to God and our service in his glory. A Christian cannot live a passive life while souls hang in the balance. Almighty God, may we become fruit-bearing Christians, never wavering in service to Thee. Time For Inventory Only a few hours ago the year 1957 passed into history and the year 1958 put in its appearance. Like business concerns who annually make an in ventory of their stocks, so might individuals very profitably take stock of themselves at the outset of a/new year. . / ,j Precious few can truthfully say that during 1957 they have made no mistakes and done things* for, which they are sorry. These mistakes cannot' be' corrected but by an examination of one’s self one can realize many mistakes and shortcomings and possibly benefit by what has or has not been dpile irs the past 12 months. >Some have prospered, sonip have had misfortune and heartaches, but by looking about it isn't very, difficult to find others in far more destitute and, unfortunate circumstances. We all have a great deal to be thankful for dur ing 1957. What 1958 holds in store for each one of us nobody knows. However, if we stop and take stock we might eliminate some of the mis takes made during the past year and in so doing better gird ourselves for the forthcoming year dur ing which we arc bound to face many vexing prob lems and temptations. Be Prepared Now that the state’s new license plates are on sale, do you know what you must do to get a 1958 automobile tag? If not, it is high time you were learning. The answer most people give is: "You must have insurance.” But that's not all of it by .any means. To save yourself loss of time, if not actual embarrassment we suggest you learn the rest of it. w true that nearly every Tar Heel car and owner must carry automobile liability in stance before they can buy their license tag. /■Still a person can’t get a tag by presenting either v his insurance policy or one of those little wallel catds which state that he carries insurance. He must have an "FS-l Form,” a small, yellow cer tificate of insurance issued by the policyholder's insurance company. According to the State De part ment of Motor Vehicles, if you haven’t yet received this FS-l then write immediately to your insurance company. Or for those just now apply ing for insurance it’s a good idea to get the cer tificate at the same time the policy is issued. Don’t go up to the license counter with nothing &ore than money and a registration card in your hand. If you do. you will have to go back for the certificate and then go back to the end of the line. If you order tags by mail you should send in your certificate along with money and registration card. If you don’t, this too, will cause considerable delay. You can't drive your car after Feb. 15 without a li cense: you can’t buy your license without an FS-l. c%.. . ca*t6 jt>uCe/ewb ftacfcv j fit ■ •' s«r»J .«** *■ .j C*- . • e Hobbs Implement Co., Inc.

The memory of departed loved ones; is sacred and just why anybody would de liberately steal or destroy the mdfhentos put on graves by loved one s Is hard to understand. If the guilty parties who every now and then dese crate graves in the cemetery are apprehended, they should be dealt with as far as the law al lows. with no leniency whatever. For a long time the cemetery has been the target of vandals and it should come to an end. .f o , With afdet of Christmas presents exchanged, the .scores' sbouf thro.ugh with their inventories, and the Christmas decorations on Broad Street taken down, maybe well again return to normal. Any way,‘Christmas'-was quietly observed in Edenton and for the most part the holiday of holidays was very much enjoyed., Now it’s 1958 and only 383 days until Christmas. When the Edenton Aces recently were taken to Washington to see a professional football game, the whole,crowd went bid to gee the Washington Before leaving, Coach Bill Billings and Alton Brooks took out their handkerchiefs and'were wiping off a section of the monument. I John Mitehener, seeing the procedure, asked, “What in the dfekens are you fellows doing?” Whereupon, he was informed that they were just dusting off their property a little. "We’re taxpay ers, you know.” said the two coaches, “and we want our property to be clean.” o Mike Wiggins was a happy boy Saturday morn ing when he proudly displayed a 7-14-pound bass. Mike and Henry Wells were fishing from the bank on. Pembroke Creek and Mike caught a small ■ roach. lie was having fun throwing the fish out in the water and then reeling it in. But on one cast'*!ic felt sometmng jerk and called Henry, so both boy's Coupled their strength to land Mr. Bass. It's not a fish story, for the boys have plenty of proof both as to. the size and weight of the fish. 1 o Have the ball point pen -and pencil people gone out of business? For a long time I've received from three to eight peps amj pencils over Christ mas,. but this year nary a one turned up. . , o Wednesday wound up a long holiday vacation for teachers, as well as school children. Teach ers, parents and the kids themselves will, no doubt, miss,the opportunity to take an extra long snooze in the morning, for’’ all of ’em now to got hack on the ball in order to get to school on time.’ > o- This week’s Herald has fewer pages than it has had for a long time. Business, news and every thing has been affected by the Christmas holidays —there just ain’t none! Anyway, here’s hoping we’ll soon be back to normal again. The Herald crowd, too, had a long holiday, so that getting out eight pages this week was just about as hard a task as getting out 18 pages before Christmas. o Herc’s'hoping all of our readers will have a very happy and prosperous 1958. ■ _THE CHfrWAN IgHAUI EDpWTQN, .NORTH CAROLINA. - Poor Print sLeUeFsToThe Editor FOR A BETTER 1958 New Year’s Eve, 1957.
