Two attractive girls, nieces of the hostess would be included in the party. As the brothers drove past beautiful pastures and woodlands to their destination, they talked of the scenery, the Browns, and the girls. Mrs. Brown, generally known as “Miss Katie” had the reputation of being a very love ly person, whose crowning glory was her self-forgetfulness. Supper at the old country home of the Browns was delightful in every way. Genial Mr. Brown and his gracious wife were the perfect,host an dhostess; the food was delicious; the girls as pretty as ever. And when the meal end ed, and the guests were invited out on the porch in the gathering! dusk, the katydids and cricket? by their gentle even-song made the twilight sweeter. Then came the unexpected in cident of the summer—though there was nothing really surpris ing about it. Jack thought, as he looked back afterwards. “Come over here and sit by me,” said Mrs. Brown, as she seat ed herself on the divan. “Now tell me what you’ve been doing at that great university you’ve been attending. I know you’ve had a wonderful time, and I want to hear all about it.” Jack could not comply at once. He had first to unlock his heart. “Miss Katie,” he said, “you are the only person who has ever asked me about that. Now I un derstand why you are loved so devotedly by all who know you. It’s because you, in a marvelous way, enter into other people’s lives —you really care.” “My home demonstration club work has helped us greatly in finding the best varieties of vegetables for eating, canning, and freezing. It has also taught us correct, tested methods of do ing this. The service is avail able to anyone just for the ask ihg. “To us, gardening is very re warding; because it pays big dividends in delicious, healthy meals all year long at very little expense." So why don’t you take a few afternoons to plant you a home garden that will help you stretch your food dollar? Weekly Devotional Column By JAMES MadLENZIE — ,—,—, , ■— Perhaps it is out of place here, but I feel compelled to write a few lines of appreciation for the work of two of our high school teachers who will be leaving us this year: Miss Williams and Mr. Brooks. I am in a position, as pastor of a church made up large ly of young people, to understand their Wholesome influence, and I thank. God continually for it. One does not need too great a memory to realize how much Miss Williams has meant to the band. She imparted to its mem bers an esprit de corps, and rea soned discipline. For the past few years the band has acquitted itself as well as the football team on the field, which is saying a lot. Further, both she and Mrs. Browning have done wonders in teaching music. I am continual ly amazed at the knowledge our local young ’uns possess of what we snobs call “good music.” Miss Williams will be sorely missed by the young people of Edenton and we may only hope her suc- THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY MAY 29. 1959. \ ABUNDANT LlFT ££] by ORAL ROBERTS YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN “ENOUGH” The prodigal son sat dejectedly on Che hog-pen fence. He looked at his miserable and degrading surroundings. Then in quick panorama, his mind wandered back over the past... to the home he had left; the good friends that he had; a wonderful, generous father; tasty food; nice clothes and a comfort able bed. He looked again at the holes in his •hoes, his dirty, ragged clothes, felt the surge of desperate hunger grab his stomach. Then, slowly and deliberately, he said these words aloud: "I’ve been a fool! In my father’s house there is food enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger. I'm going back home.” And he did! Another young man was there also— his brother. But when the rejoicing began over the prodigal’s return, the elder brother turned purple with rage. He stamped his feet and confronted his father with these words: "You’ve treated me as dirty as a man can be treated. "I’ve never disobeyed you. I’ve always been honorable anefat no time have I ever brought shame upon you. Yet,- you’ve never given me even a little old goat (a kid) to make merry with my friends. "Now when this rascal who has shamed you comes rambling back home, you even kill the fatted calf for him. I think it’s a low-down way to do, and you can’t make it right with me!” But listen to this good father, "Son, all these years you've been with me. And you could have had a party toth your friends at any time. But you cessor will be capable enough to fill her shoes, and carry on where she has left off. Mr. Brooks has been here some what longer than Miss Williams, and he, too, has found his way into the hearts of his pupils. He is « teacher who looks upon his profession as not just away to kill time and make a living, but an opportunity to build yotpig lives and influence them for the best. I know of several young boys and girls in our communi ty who will be better men and women because Mr. Brooks was able to gain their respect, and used that respect to point them to the right. It is an indication of how deeply he is loved and re spected by Hie young people of Edenton that on several occasions some teenage boy or another has said to me, “Mr. Brooks gave me a paddling t today.” Then smil ing, the Boy would tell me just 6 YEARS OLD Gknmore KENTUCKY ffjgjjjl STRAIGHT BOURBON Jp§| 86 PROOF ■ mm flfpy mm §wx-: .. . . <-.v ~~ AfV. . ;v I THE ttGHT BOURBON Jl • . . • * ?

You have tried to be a slave! "But look, Son! All that I have is thine!... and has been all these years. If at any moment you want anything of mine, whatever it is, it's yours for the asking.” In this twentieth century, that para dox still exists. God wants to be very good to us. He wants us to have the best. He has enough and "to spare.” He not only desires that we have just enough to get by, but there is the sur plus (more than we need) available for * the asking. The greatest surprise that some people will ever have when they get to heaven will be this: They have lived so poorly in the good things of life (spiritually, financially, mentally and physically), when they could have been so rich With enough and to. spare! How do we come into possession of ■ these promises? How do they become substance rather than promise? I would suggest to you that you begin thinking about the fact that you are a son of God. Let that fact grow and be come large to you. Then suddenly you will begin to look for these promises to be kept. You become aware that they are yours by natural right since your own Father has said it. There is a surplus of good things for you. God has "more than enough.” And these are his words. "All that I have is thine.” what the paddling was for and say that he didn’t intend to get another one, at least not for that reason. Any man who can ad minister needed discipline to a teenage lad, and make him enjoy it, is some kind Os genius. Per haps Mr. Brook s should apply for a job at Cornell; they could use him there. However, I feel his best work in the community was his work with little league baseball during the summer. Mr. Brooks, I be lieve, started and organized this in Edenton. It should definitely be continued now that he is leav ing. These two dedicated teachers will be missed in Edenton. Let us pray, however, that their in fluence for good will continue with them in their new positions. The young people in Edenton whose lives they have touched will never forget them. Final Report Made On' 1958 “Reserve” Final report on the 1958 Soil Bank Acreage Reserve Program shows that 434,100 acres will be removed from production of allot ment crops this year. E. W. Avent, of the State ASC office, says this participation more than meets all goals estab lished for this state and will go a long way toward alleviating surpluses of the commodities in volved. The total acreage “reserved” under the program for 1958 is made up of 195,000 acres of cot ton, 115,700 acres of corn, 85,200 acres of wheat, and' 37,300 acres of tobacco. Avent called attention to the fact that one of the primary ob jectives of this Soil Bank Pro gram is to assist farmers in re ducing their production of sur plus basic commodities. Using average per-acre produc tion that prevailed in the state last year, he estimated that sur plus stockpiles will be reduced by the following amounts through Soil Bank participation: Tobac co, 55.7 million pounds; cotton, 127,300. bales; corn, 3.7 million bushels; and wheat, 1.6 million bushels. Other primary objectives of this program: To encourage ad ditional conservation of agricul tural resources and to maintain the farmers’ net income at a time when farm income is at a low point compared to operating costs. Payments that will be made to farmers in this state to cover the net loss they would otherwise rea- I lize from these reduced plantings I will be in excess of S3O million 1 with $13.5 million to be paid out to participating cotton farmers, $9.6 million to tobacco farmers, $4.4 million tq corn farmers, $2.2 million to wheat farmers. The balance of $400,000 will be paid out under the other phase of the Soil Bank Program—the Conser vation Reserve. ' According to Avent, these Soil Bank payments will be made by ASC county offices beginning May 15 on wheat and as soon af ter as possible on other commodi ties. Farmers will be notified by mail when they are to visit the 1 local ASC office and pick up their Soil Bank payment. Philanthropy is loving, ame liorative, revolutionary; it wak ens lofty desires, new possibili ties, achievements and energies. —Mary Baker Eddy. $ jfegr ~ni mi ~>i lii ~ ~ m■ * * j, m. - . %: Hr ' Jgro, BrC£*s^’ FLYNT’S FLINTLOCK —Well- armed with a reproduction of a 1795 flintlock rifle, Rep.
