ToiTtoday ~ it . . « Dwell in your land safely, and I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. —Leviticus 26:5-6. TO DOUBT the prdvidehce of God is presently to wax impatient with his commands. —Garrett. We are grateful to Thee, O God, for our belovad country, for Us freedom and for all who have made sacrifices that we might be blessed. Mar The' Saviour's spirit of brotherhood and good will find full expression here in America and abroad. A Word Os Concern There is in every -man, latent though it may become, an awareness of his responsibili ty to God for the wise use of our soil and its related resources ■— water, plants, and wildlife. It is the responsibility of those who as sume the leadership for spiritual and moral matters to include in their sphere of effort the awakening of man to his soil stewardship re sponsibility. The church is, and truly ought to be, a fac tor for reminding man of his obligation to God in the use of God’s rich natural gifts. For too long our people have neglected or used without appreciation or understanding these divinely created resources. Already in this comparatively young nation we have lost millions of acres of good produc tive land. We have let water, a necessity and a boon to every community, become a scourge a3, it rushes seaward, bearing loads of sedi ment to stream, channel and precious reser voir. Therefore, we may see in every muddy rivulet, in every dust laden wind a warning from God. His rules regarding the use of His wealth by man are being violated. The stewardship of soil and water resourc es must be the concern of every one who loves hia nation. The responsibility of this stew ardship rests with the people who own and operate the land. These are the farmers and the ranchers. Upon them we must de pend to save and to improve what we have kit in soil and water resources. The nation’s Soil Conservation Districts neied the help of the churches and their lead ers in this divinely-directed responsibility. Human Values People like to be treated with courtesy and friendliness. .That is certainly not an earth-shaking an nouncement. It represents the height of ob viousness. Yet the principle is sometimes overlooked or ignored. And when that hap pens in the business world, the consequences can be costly. A while ago a chain store organization test ed the effectiveness of price as against friend liness in seeking business. In one communi ty, it ran hard-hitting ads stressing savings, lower prices and outstanding values. Tn an other community, its ads stressed friendliness. In the first community, sales increased eight per cent. In the second, they jumped a whop ping 28 per cent which indicates that peo ple put much more stress on friendliness than on price inducements. Whether this is generally true no one can say with certainty. But there is no doubt that the public at large expects the best of treatment when it goes shopping in the stores. And it gets that kind of treatment or goes elsewhere. Successful retailers are vitally con cerned with the quality of their personnel, arid with the ability of salespeople and others to.’meet the customers, intelligently fill their wpnts, and send them away happy and satis fied. One grumpy, disinterested clerk can cost a store a huge amount of business. trhis brings up another, point. Retailing of fe|s splendid careers for young people these dsys. And they are careers in which the w»rm human values are appreciated ank rewarded. W?' Optimism is that quality that permits us to hope that somebody else will do something far us. ' Tt’s never too late, if you tre still alive! tcKbe careful on the highways. ' « “*—7 It is amazing how excited some people can over little things. a*, no less certain than ice, you must buy it. Jdeard & Seen By Buff I Walter E. Isenhour of Taylorville, N. C., sent me the following poem, which is appropriate for Mother’s Day, which will be observed Sunday: MOTHER CARES When your days seem dark and your friends seem few « And the road you travel seems rough and steep; When your plans all fail and your life is blue And you breathe a sigh and sit down to weep; When you’d like to find a soul that is kind And a heart that will send to God true prayers, But the world to your need seems blind—so blind, Remember, O remember, Mother cares! When your health (s gone and your body’s weak And your hope for a better day is small; When you'd like from your heart and mind to speak' And unbosom the contents all—yes, all; But to whom could you tell your many woes And the things, pdrhaps, that your health impairs? The question lingers in your mind and grows— But remember, remember, Mother cares! When the heart of the world seems cold—so cold— As you seek to find some love that is true; When the foes of your soul and life are bold To denounce the grace that would take you through; When it seems you’re down a*nd the demons jeer And threaten to engulf you with their snares, And you’re almost chilled with a thought of fear, Remember, O remember, Mother cares! 0 Mrs. Dan Morgan borrowed my electric hedge cutter the other day to cut the hedge between har home and mine. She must have become a bit nervous, for when she was, through she asked the Missus, “Don’t you like to see a hedge cut up and down instead of straight the whole way,” Well, straight or not, I’m grateful for the hedge getting cut, and maybe Mrs. Morgan figured that if it is to be trimmed, she’d have to do it herself. o Though the crowd could have been larger, the Womanless Wedding held in the Ele mentary School auditorium Friday night was very enjoyable and the home demonstration ladies were responsible for raising $124 to ward the Red Cross deficit. The wedding was a “scream” and the ladies added several home talent numbers which added consider ably to the entertainment. It was easily worth the price of admission and the women, as well as .taking part in the entertain ment, are to Be commertd£d "for doing their share in helping to meet the Red Cross quo ta, which seems to be a stubborn project this year. However, being so near the goal, here’s hoping the county will go over the top. o At a Masonic meeting Thursday night in Gatesville Paul Hofler informed the group 1 that the Gatesville Lodge had broken ground for a new building. “We will appreciate it,” said Mr. Hofler, “if some of you brethren will tell us how to raise a lot of money very quickly.” One fellow from Elizabeth City, where a new Masonic temple is about com pleted, replied, “Well, we’d be satisfied for somebody to tell us how to raise some money even on sort of a slow basis?’ o Bill Adams was telling me the other day that when he was courting the girl who now is his wife, said she didn’t want a man who wore glasses or had a bald head. But, Bill says, she’s got both now. And what’s more, he’s figuring on having what few teeth he has left yanked out and get a mouth full of false teeth.' Well, time takes its toll. o And speaking about the meeting at Gates ville, the boys were treated to a fish fry. And a • few of ’em went back to the table for at least three helpings. Either the fish were small or there were some big appetites. o Some of the athletes at the Edenton school have been wondering if the Varsity Club will award trophies this year. I contacted Cecil Fry, president of the Varsity Club, and he says a meeting of the club will be held in a few days to decide upon the matter. It might be a burden on the Varsity Club, but the athletes would appreciate receiving some sort of recognition. Like so many problems these days, I suspect lack of mpney is at the« root of no action taken thus far. o Chowan County officials were dinner guests of the County Council of Home Dem onstration Clubs at the Advance Community BuHding Monday. The dinner was schedul ed for 1 o’clock, so that the County Com missioners lost no time in transacting their business. As usual, at the club women’s meals, it was a first class feed, inducing a generous helping of honest-to-goodness smok ed country ham. All of which caused Bob Marsh to say, “I’ve eaten higher up on the hog today than J have in many a day.” Os course, West Byrum is on a special diet, so I couldn’t figure out what he had on his plate. Anyway, Bob Marsh was sitting opposite him and when Bob started to eat his dessert, West said, “Boh, do you have the nerve to * ri^ ht -* lß>at . 0f ®e rad eat flat tempt ing strawberry shortcake?” - • / THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON.

PTA May Day Festival Nets In Excess Os SSOO Thursday Mrs. Earl Carpenter, general chairman of the May Day Festi val sponsored by the Edenton Parent-Teacher Association, held in the Edenton armory Thursday, is very well pleased with the suc cess of the affair. Mrs. Carpen ter and Luther Parks, finance chairmen, report that the festival netted in excess of SSOO. A large number of people visited the ar mory to take part in the festival, where a great deal of work was reflected in the various arrange ments and decorations. The crowds who visited the ar mory apparently enjoyed the af fair, where an auction sale was held, a dance contest staged and various booths where various kinds of food and drinks were on sale. Mrs. Carpenter expressed the hope that next year’s festival will be even more successful. . Mrs. Carpenter, along with' those who assisted her, desire to thank everyone who in any way contributed to the success of the festival.
