I do remember my faults this day.— Genesis 41:9. Repentence is not only grief on account of this or that particular act; it is a deep-seated sorrow on account of the discrepancy between the outward acts of the will and that ideal which is presented to the conscience in the new Adam—the Christian man.—Martensen. Merciful Father, give us strength to recognize our shortcomings, and the willingness, with Thy power, to overcome them. Congratulations In Order The Herald joins many friends in extend ing congratulations to Mrs. William I). Holmes, Jr., upon being elected State Regent by the Daughters of the American Revolu tion at their 58th annual conference held in Raleigh last week. » In being elected to the highest office in the hands of the State I)AR Society, Mrs. Holmes has not only brought honor upon herself, hut i outstanding recognition to Edenton. [ 1 Mrs. Holmes is worthy of this high and im portant office. She has been an active mem ber of the Tea Party Chapter in Edenton for nine year, where she has efficiently served as Regent and treasurer. She has also just completed a three-year term as State Vice Regent, so that she is adequately qualified to serve in the highest office in the State. ,She will he installed at the Continental Congress to he held in Washington, D. C., in April and the well wishes of a host of Edenton people will go with her. Though Edenton is a small town, it is far richer in history than many other communi ties which have furnished a State Regent, so that it is altogether fitting for a woman of the calibre of Mrs. Holmes and her environ ment to be chosen to lead the State organiza tion of the Daughters of the American Revo lution. The Herald ventures the prediction that the organization will flourish during Mrs. Holmes' administration. Why So Many Drives ... Why Not A United Fund? With one fund-raising drive after another and in some instances contributions falling short of the goal, it is interesting to note what Dr. Ed Bond thinks about raising funds for worthy causes. Dr. Bond had this to say recrntly; • - Recently we have all heard; unfavorable! remarks that various health aggHfdies such as the*Heart Association. Cancer' Society and Polio Foundation will not participate in most United Fund drives. This unfavorable pub licity has severely hurt contributions to some of these health agencies. The reason that the Heart Association, Polio Foundation and other groups cannot remain in United Fund drives is because they cannot afford to. For example, the American Heart Association re ports that in 1956, communities in which the Heart Association participated in community chest and United Funds provided a median per capita allocation of 6.6 cents. In the cities where the association conducted its independent campaigns the median contribu tion was 13.9 cents per person. Thus if the Heart Association sought to raise all of its money in United Funds, they would come up several million dollars short of its current in come of $20,000,000. The same results have been found by other major health agencies, forcing them to conduct their own cam paigns. Fund raising, except by taxation, is not easy; indeed, it should not be easy. Compe tition is the American way. Health needs, like other needs, must compete for public sup port. The Heart Association believes that the people will continue to supply the funds as long, but only as long, as a major health need exists. When the cardiovascular dis eases are conquered, the Heart Association’s work will be done. If United- Funds are permitted to con tinue to undermine the efforts of the volun tary health agencies, research will dwindle and the conquest of disease inevitably delayed. The result will be the needless loss of hund reds of thousands of lives. Unless you are paid to do so, never argue with anybody over grammar. m S 7m- Jdeard & Byßuff B Izzy Campen made it to the Rotary Club’s meeting last week and also attended the Ma sonic meeting Thursday night. However, it must have been too much for him, for it was necessary to call Doc Williams to the lodge hall and Izzy took another ride in an ambu lance to the Chowan Hospital, where he had to be put under an oxygen tent. However, latest reports are to the effect that he is grad ually improving and is now walking around in the hospital. Which reminds me that Izzy did not fall asleep at the Rotary meeting, causing Charlie Overman to remark, “Well, Izzy has caught up with his sleep, and I’d like very much not to sleep, but I don’t want to go through what Izzy did to catch up.” o Town Councilmen had another brief meet ing Tuesday night, getting out shortly after 9:30. Mayor Kehayes invited the “boys” around to his restaurant for a little snack, but warned, “The Missus is ‘keeping store,’ so maybe you’ll have to fork up for what you eat.” However, the boys got another free feed. o John Mitchener (and the Missus, too) was very agfeeablv surprised the other day when their three sons brought home their report cards. Each one had an A on every subject which made the Mitcheners feel very proud. But shucks having the same grades is not so unusual, for one of the boys at my house had just about all C’s. Which reminds me that Luther Parks was scanning over his son’s re port card and was inquiring about a subject or two. “What did you make when you went to school?” the boy asked. It so happened that Mrs. Lillie B. Parks, the boy’s grand mother, some time back came across one of Luther's old report cards on which he had a “6” listed. “What does a ‘6’ mean?” the boy asked. “Oh. son,” Luther said to the boy, “F was getting up in the big numbers back in those (fays.” Anyway, maybe some of the youngsters of today would get a little satis faction in looking over the report cards of their mom and pop. o One of the boys in The Herald office was sort of bragging on what he thought was a good-looking ad he had just made up. But Wilborne Harrell told him, “you better be careful or you’ll sprain your arm by patting yourself on the back.” o Going out to the Chowan Hospital the oth er night. I was obliged to wait my turn to see Mrs. LaDell Parker who is a patient. It was while rambling around in the hall that I spied on the bulletin board “Ten Commandments lor Hospital Visitors.” Tom Ridgeway al lowed me to borrow the piece and so that hos pital visitors may also read it here ’tis: L—Thou shalt decide for whose good the visit is made—the patient’s or the visitor’s. Unselfish concern and not selfish curiosity must prompt the helpful visit. 2. —Thou shalt observe the visiting hours as far as possible. They are set for the patient’s good and not because doctors and nurses are mean. 3. Thou shalt keep thy voice down. One way to keep the patient down is to keep the voice up. Remember that a sanitarium is not an auditor ium. Speak softly. 4. Thou shalt not get in the way of the doc tors and the hospital staff. Don’t visit in the halls. You can’t do your best work with some one in your way. They can’t either. 5. Thou shalt come quietly and remain brief ly. Several short calls are more helpful than one extended one. When well, the patient may enjoy your “spending the day” but sick people tire easily. 6. —Thou shalt cultivate a cheerful spirit. Never make the patient’s ear a conversational garbage can. Don’t repeat all the bad news nor tell of the people you remember who died with the very same symptoms. Optimism is con tagious. ?•—Thou shalt not lean on the bed or care lessly bump or shake the resting place of the patient in any way. It is annoying and makes the patient tense. 8. —Thou shalt learn to listen eloquently. Sometimes the best thing we can do is to listen to the patient. He may need your audience more than your advice. 9. —Thou shalt inspire confidence. Confidence in self, in God, in, the doctors and nurses and in all who have to do with the healing and care is highly essential to the patient’s quickest re covery. 10. —Thou shalt magnify the Great Physician by a good example of quiet, friendly, thoughtful concern for the welfare of others. —T. Hollis Epton. 0 Bill Shaw, president of the Peoples Bank & Trust Company of Rocky Mount, together with a few other Rocky Mount bank officials, were guests at last week’s Rotary meeting. Mr. Shaw made a very interesting speech on money which was very much enjoyed. To be gin with he said he had a big subject to deal with and that old bankers never die—they just lose interest. t 0 " A picture on the front page is evidence that THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON.
