SECTION TWO (j||j (iTh^Roundupj By Wilbokne Harrell A The Old-timer And The Young Cowpoke Discuss Horses and Things The Old-timer sat atop the cor ral of the Z-Bar-Z Guest Ranch, a . generous quid of Brown’s Mule ' working rhythmically in his jaws. Beside him sat the Young Cow ■ poke, who was 0 moodily and j slowly rolling a . . cigarette with Bull Durham. Making a neat cylinder with his I 4 r left hand, he @F Jt jilp|lj|L ./ moistened the I edge of the pa- m JW per with his • tongue and plac- HARRELL ed the cigarette in his mouth. His gaze on the far-away hills, he struck a match and drew smoke gratefully into fiis lungs. The Old-timer was rather aim lessly whittling with an ancient Barlow knife, pausing Only oc- , casionally to expectorate a deluge of tobacco juice on some selected target. His shooting with Brown’s u Mule was as.accurate as his hand ling 6f a six-gun. He never miss ed. He gave the stick he was carving a vicious swipe and turn ed to the Young Cowpoke. “Like v. I told you,” he said, “you should never have tried to ride Midnight. He’S throwed better men than you. But, no! You young sprig gins won’t ever listen to your bet ters!” \ , Weekly Devotiona’ 1 Column I i Rt JAMES MaeKWNZTP I - - 4-p -i— > you may recall, last year President Eisenhower proclaimed | * October 2 as a National Day of Prayer. In a recent letter to a 1 New York pastor, the President said that he was “astonished to find, upon going to my own church at 8:30 that morning that only a handful of people were present.” i The nationwide ignoral of the Presidential proclamation has been noted by a number of min isters and newspaper editors, most of whom were honest enough to place the blame where it belongs—on their own door steps—since they had neglected to provide adequate publicity and organization. The President’s reaction came in a personal letter to Pastor Henry H. Heins of St. Paul’s Lu theran Church, Liberty, New York, who wrote in to report that only six persons came to his; church to pray. In answer to Mr. j Heins’ appeal that something bej done'this year to make people more aware of the observance, the President replied that things 'fsj~ had not been much better in £ Washington. As a result, there will be wider publicity given the National Day of Prayer this year. The President promised: “So A Good Reading for the Whole Family *^* C jr™! iTVI ‘ijc V THE CHO WAN HER ALP The day before, the Old-timer and the Young Cowpoke had at : tended the rodeo in Tucson, and the Young Cowpoke had at tempted to ride Midnight. No body had ever stayed on Mid night long enough to "win any I prize money, Iput the Young Cow poke was game to try. He was quickly thrown—hard. And now as he sat on the corral fence the j Young Cowpoke ruefully review ed his session with Midnight. The humor of the situation be came apparent to his musings, j and the ghost of a smile touched i| his face. The Old-timer said, “If you’d, listened to me, I coulda saved j you a lot of trouble. Maybe I! coulda told you how to ride Mid-; night. Why, I remember" once—”! The Young Cowpoke grinned. He removed the cigarette from I his mouth and said, “Now don’t give me another one of your stories, how you rode the worse horse in the West, and what a fereat rider you are. Don’t you ever get tired of telling the same stories, over and over?” “Why, you young whippersnap per!” snorted the Old-timer. “I’ve forgotten more about horses than you’ve ever knowed. A horse is the most wonderful animal in the world; the most beautiful. Why, look at that pretty young filly over there. Ain’t she a beaut?” far as I am concerned, I shall see what can be done in the future ■ from my end to make certain this information is widely disseminat ed. Incidentally, certain of piy. associates hope that the first ! Wednesday in October can be : built up as a tradition for the i National Day of Prayer.” As much as I would like to be indignant about the widespread ignoral of the National Day of Prayer last year, I cannot, for I am guilty. To my recollection, there was no observance given the event in our county, though I may well be mistaken in this. One reason was lack of publicity. I did not find out about the Pres idential proclamation until I read •WITS just one thone call I settle my insurance matters. _ __ . I’m prepared for most any mishap-because I’m Nationwide-Insured.

She’s a thoroughbred, by gum.” The Young Cowpoke kept his gaze on the far side of the cor ; ral. “Yore shore right, for once,” ■ he said. “She’s the prettiest filly ■ I’ve ever seen. In fact,, she’s the • prettiest blonde-headed female I . ever seen.” The Old-timer turned sharply , to the Young Cowpoke. “You [ ornery horntoad! I was talking about a horse.

He flipped away his cigarette and slid his 1 1 long frame to the ground. “Work,” said the Old-timer 1 scornfully. “That’s one thing you 1 don’t often have on your mind.” The Young Cowpoke grinned at . his irate companion. “Yeah, but : this is one time I sure got it on' my mind aplenty.

Because such an observance can make no visible contribution to the life of thq church we yield to the temptation to ignore it. However, President Eisenhower will be delighted to learn that this year I intend to support him in observance of the National Day of Prayer. We may or may ' not agree with the President's policies, but all must admit he has set an example of spiritual leadership equaled by no other President in recent years. His use of prayer in the inaugurals, his rising from a sick-bed to at tend Thanksgiving services, testi fy to the fact that he is a man of God. When he proclaims a National Day of Prayer he de serves the wholehearted support of all our churches. Further, we need a National Day of Prayer. We are becom ing a materialistic and secular nation. Desecration of the Lord’s Day is as common here as in France. Our movies and tele vision shows depict immorality as the accepted thing. There are some seven million alcoholics in the United States, and the num ber is increasing rapidly. Curs ing, gambling, and obscene lit erature are condoned by profess ing Christians, and woe to the minister or priest who dares ob ! ject. Yes, we need a National Day of Prayer. We need a lot more, but that will do for a start. Egg: Production Record In January Egg production in North Caro , lina during January, 1958, is es : timated at 148 million. This is I 1.4 per cent above the previous i January record established in 1957 when 146 million eggs were produced. I The average number of layers ! for January on hand in the State !is estimated at 9,842,000. This is ! 4 per cen above the 9,428,000 on I hand a year earlier. The January j rate of lay per 100 layers num bered 1.500 eggs and compares with 1.544 a year earlier. The de cline in rate of lay resulted from . unfavorable, weather during Jan uary. ‘Easter, The Awakening’ Opens In Morehead Planetarium At Chapel Hill Tuesday, March II “Easter, the Awakening,” the beautiful tribute to the Resurrec tion which has been viewed by more than 165,000 persons in the past eight years, will open at the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill Tuesday night, March 11, at 8:30 o’clock. It will be given through April 14. As in the world’s churches, the beautiful and ageless story of Easter and the Resurrection will be told again in the Planetarium and will be complemented by an inspiring pageant of lights and music. However, the first portion of this year’s program will differ completely from prior years in order that it will better conform, with the awakening theme. In stead of being concerned with the date of Easter, it will herald the coming of Spring. The indications of spring— changes in the earth’s surface, na ture and man—will be profusely illustrated in natural color. The highlight will be two color- EDENTON BEAUTY NOOK I “Your Friendly Nci'-hborhood Shop j at 812 North Broad Street j ★ CONVENIENTLY LOCATED ★ EASY PARKING I ★ NEW EQUIPMENT j ★ PERMANENT WAVES—SB.OO up Come in or Call for A ppointmenls j Dial 2210 Edenton j j We are Proud of the HERITAGE f I and We are Enthusiastic about the g Future GROWTH And EXPANSION Os I The EDENTON AREA I | .. || . ~~~ ' The Woman’s Club Art Show will be staged t in the Penelope Barker House on March 8-9. g Support The 1958 RED CROSS ; | Fund Campaign j j p i £ • | , ■ . . ■ - with a .... 11 1 mm A\B j I I Complete Banking Service B 4"J VMI fi COMMERCIAL 1 savings 1 TRUST 1 EDENTON.
