May we be strong and steadfast, a guiding light to others. , ~ It is encouraging to note that Chowan County polled a record vote in Saturday’s primary election which reflects an interest on the part of voters in who shall serve them in public office. Over 2,000 ballots were cast during the day which tops the previous record vote by about 200. With an abundance of opposition for the three contested offices, it is also a source of satisfaction that the election was devoid of dirty politics. All of the candidates worked hard in a legitimate way to win votes, so that now and even if a second primary election is called none of the candidates have any re grets, other than not being elected, or reason to lose any friendship. This is as it should be. All too often during a heated election campaign unpleasant and many times unfair methods are resorted to in order to win votes. And many times such tactics act like a boom erang in being detrimental rather than help ful in securing support. To use unfair meth ods in securing votes is just as unethical as being unfair in business, although it is often times done. The Herald, therefore, congratulates those who led in Saturday’s election, but in no less degree congratulates those who trailed in votes. It was a very clean campaign with a group of friends after the same office and who will be just as good friends after the elec tion. Must the Upturn Be Helped? Not only the experts but a great number of everyday Americans are watching the busi ness and economic indexes these days—for tunately not with tense apprehension but with feelings ranging from strong concern to re laxed confidence. The signs of a long-expected upturn from recession levels are as yet few and small, but some are being hailed. At one point perhaps the best that could be said was that condi tions were “getting worse more slowly.” The picture seems even darker in factory employ ment and shows a sag in department store sales, though the stabilizers of unemployment compensation and freer credit have helped. Yet there are such glints of sunshine as slight rises in home construction, steel pro duction, and electric power demand. The con fidence of the stock rqprket has proved al most mystifying. The question in the minds of many informed analysts is not whethef the level of business will go seriously lower (they feel sure it will not) but rather how long it -may stay at a virtually stationary (and unsatisfactory) level before an actual upturn is measurable. On this question in great degree hinges the . decision whether sweeping antirecession legis lation, such as a broad federal tax cut, is ad visable or not. Rather surprisingly, Com merce Secretary Weeks reports that his busi ness advisory committee stands substantially against such a measure at present. It can be argued for a tax cut that it might in time bring the government more money at lower rates by encouraging increased produc tion. But its immediate effect would be to Increase an already large Treasury deficit. And the United States is wrestling not with one problem but with two: how to bring busi ness activity up and how to hold consumer prices down. If manufacturing industries ask government, in effect, to reduce the price of government at the cost of a deficit to get things moving, shoufd they not be willing to cut the price of automobiles, for example, and at least avoid ft rise in the price of steel to help revive their markets? And should not organized labor temper its demands accordingly? As for tax relief, there appears more hope and a more delicate judgment in reports that administration fiscal advisers, including Treas ury Secretary Anderson, are studying specific types of tax reduction, as in automobile and transportation excises or on small business, which would help where most needed. Such actions would seem a logical first—and possi bly sufficient—step. ■J4earj & Seen . Byßuff_ ♦ .—■■—j Quite naturally some members of the Eden ton graduating class took on somewhat the appearance of seriousness or even sadness at class night exercises held Thursday night. However, little Jackie White, one Os the mas cots, saw to it that the seniors and the audi ence as well had something to laugh about. In the first place Jackie tried to climb up on the stage after marching down the aisle ahead of the sophomore daisy chain. He was pull ed into line of march and took his seat be side the other mascot, Nancy Hare, but it wasn’t long before he had to “inspect” the microphone. The contraption would have fallen to the floor but for the fact that one of the senior boys caught it in time. Then when the giftorian, Faye McClenney, pulled in a small cart loaded with gifts for the grad uates, it was too much for Jackie to remain seated. He took over the show as he uncon cerned picked up, examined and tried out some of the gifts in the cart. He was called off stage for a spell, but later returned to help Nancy carry the gifts to the seniors as they stood up. He was the whole show for a while even if he did not graduate. o ■ - While Ernest Ward, Sr., was cutting my hair (yep, I still have a little) the other day, we struck up a conversation about vaccina tion and inoculation. Ernest was in World War I and said he was obliged to be vaccinat ed or inoculated for just about everything except ingrown toenails. o Dave Holton was a bit surprised when a group of girls recently sold poppies for the Legion Auxiliary. Patricia Forehand, nine year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Forehand, called in Dave’s office to sell him a poppy. “All right,” said Dave, pulling from his pocket the first coin, his fingers contacted, “is a penny all right?” The little girl re plied, “That’s fine.” But Dave then fished out a quarter and asked, “Is 25 cents all right?” The little girl replied, “That’s fine, too.” What attracted Dave’s attention is that when he offered a penny Patricia was very well satisfied, whereas many another young ster would have wanted more. o We all have a great deal to be thankful for but our thanks, no doubt, are directed along many lines. Which reminds me about an experience Mrs. Louis George Wilkins had the other day at the Baptist vacation Bible school. Mrs. Wilkins asked the members of her class to mention something for which they were thankful. Many reasons for thankful ness were presented when one little boy piped out, “I have something to be thankful for.” Mrs. Wilkins asked, “What are you thank ful fbrr” The boy promptly replied, “I thank the Lord that this daily Bible School don’t last any longer than Friday.” o And speaking about school, there’s no doubt a lot of youngsters, whether they say so or not, are thankful that public school is over for a spell. o Sgt. Charlie Bradt and Ray Rogerson were winners last week in the Chamber of Com merce fishing contest. Bradt caught a 5J4- pound bass and Rogerson caught a white perch weighing a fcound and one ounce. I went fishing Saturday but I’m barred from the contest —they don’t count the little ’uns. o Well school and the various exercises are over and here’s one who enjoyed all of ’em. The programs were all very interesting and the music in connection with them was splen did. The program of the choral groups was outstanding and here’s one who really enjoyed and would like to again hear “Battle Hymn of the Republic” as presented by the entire group, including the band. Here’s congratu lations for the fine programs and also con gratulations to the 1958 graduates. o Chowan’s County election Saturday not only brought out a record vote, but no can didate had a walk-away. No candidate re ceived a majority vote so that a second pri mary can be called for the three contested offices. As of Wednesday Earl Goodwin, West Byrum, Jr., and Benbury Wood were still giving the matter serious thought but had not definitely made up their minds. They have until Monday to ask for a run-off. o H. P. Perry, a Herald subscriber living at Hampton, Va., sent in a subscription for two years with the following note: “I enjoy your paper very much, but it doesn’t have very much Center Hill news. Let’s have more.” Well, I’ll be glad to print it if I can get it. o Charlie Overman and Bob Marsh were a little ahead of themselves Monday when they went to the Commissioners’ meeting to sub mit their monthly reports. Both extended their right hand to Joe Webb and compli mented him for his long service of 38 years and expressed their regret that hell be among thejjirtit-aLJHture Catnmissioßers’ meet* THE CHOWAK HERALD, EDENTON.
