THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1958 I ’- wuw -' ,r A TOdTy^ i Go ye into all the world, and preach the gos /' pel. —Mark 16:15. Christ teaches that we should elevate the soul above the sordid things of life, teaching love, peace Jj and mercy of our Heavenly Father to all men. Sand us out. O Lord, on the spiritual highway that we may witness for the gentle Saviour, the only Way to our Eternal Home. Adequate Roads Necessary l If nothing else, !he ground breaking at 1 Harvey Point Thursday accelerated the fact I that adequate roads to the base are necessary and that no time shoulld be wasted in their ‘ construction. Up until Monday a special per mit from the Highway Commission was ne- I cessary in order to haul some of the equip | ment to the base due to the load limit. In | fact, it is also necessary to travel out of the way at present to get to the base with heavy ] equipment. Trucks must now go to Light jj Nixon Fork on U. S. 17, then through Bethel i in order to get on the road from Hertford to i Harvey Point. The latter road will not per i mit heavy loads due to a narrow and flimsy I bridge at Hertford. High officials at the Harvey Point celebra- I tion emphasized the importance and neces | sity of having primary roads leading to Har t vey Point, so that citizens in Edenton. Hert [ ford and Elizabeth City are right much con cerned that something is done without too much delay. Much is said and being done to attract in dustry to North Carolina and, according to reports, the Harvey Point base will be a big industry, with an annual payroll of approxi mately 10'/j million dollars. Plans call for about 2,500 military personnel and in the neighborhood of 350 civilian workers. For an industry of this size in other parts of the state, it is reasonable to believe that the state would provide the necessary roads,, so that this section is not asking too much for -roads making it convenient for people at Harvey Point to go back and forth, not to mention the heavy , traffic during the construction period. It can be said, however, that the State Highway Commission has given some thought to road improvements due to the Harvey Point base, so that it is encouraging that citizens in Edenton, Hertford and Elizabeth , City have been contacted in order to work out a road program which will be adequate for the base, as well as satisfactory to the three towns principally involved in the anti cipated economic effect on the eastern part of the state. So far as Edenton is concerned, a proposed plan varies very little from one advanced by W. N. Spruill, division engineer, except that Mr. Spruill’s idea w r as to have a new road from Light Nixon Fork hit the Hertford- Harvey Point road in the vicinity of Bur gess, whereas the local idea was for it to ex tend nearer the base. At any rate, with the need so apparent and ideas advanced by three towns, together with those of the Highway Commission, the chances for adequate roads have been en hanced since the Harvey Point ground breaking. WATCH THIS SPOT WHAT IS THIS? TSIMREVLIS P&Q SUPER MARKET .J ... i. » .... . : .4v“ ; [ JpHj ft g /Q /"J Byßufj I ■ - - ' .. ... 11 A Edenton was was well represented at the ground breaking ceremony at Harvey Point Thursday, which was carried through despite the fact that a shower sent a lot of people scurrying to their cars to keep from getting wet. Mayor Kehayes, along with Mayor Darden of Hertford and Mayor Culpepper of Elizabeth City, were presented mini ature models of the Martin Sea Master plane which will be based at Harvey Point. Mayor Kehayes also brought back sne of the shovels used in the ground breaking ceremony. I thought maybe he’d use the shovel digging for fishing worms, but a friend said it was given to him to shovel up the “stuff he’s been putting out. o And speaking about the Harvey Point celebra tion, I now know why they refer to top military officials as the “brass.” The Admirals had their shoulders covered with brass and other high of ficials had it aplenty on their uniforms. Anyway, it was my first opportunity to shake hands and speak to an Admiral. They’re just ordinary folks even if I had the idea an Admiral was somebody more or less super human. They like to talk, tell jokes, they get wet in the rain, and eat just like any other person. It was a pleasure meeting Ad mirals F. Massie Hughes and A1 Fay. o Congressman Herbert Bonner got sort of mixed up with religious denominations. Shortly after he began his speech a shower scattered the crowd and Mr. Bonner said it must be a Baptist christening. However, it didn’t rain enough to emerse those present, so with the sprinkling it was more of a Methodist affair. After the celebration a large group of special guests attended a dinner at Hotel Hertford, where there was another session of hand shaking. It was a splendid meal and a very friendly gesture, but it played havoc with the Edenton Rotary meeting with quite a few Eden; ton Rotarians eating dinner at Hertford instead of at the Parish House. o And speaking about the Hertford dinner,” I was sitting beside Charles Johnson, judge of the Per quimans County Recorder’s Court. Besides fried chicken, the menu included some honest-to-good ness country smoked ham, which was better than anything else on the plate. Judge Johnson must know a lot about hogs, for he said the piece of ham he was eating came from the right side of the hog. Mine did, too, for it couldn’t have been any better. In fact, I would have traded the chicken for a piece of ham half the size. ———o Except for my part, the Methodists held a very beautiful and impressive ceremony Sunday morn ing when pulpit gifts were presented in honor of G. E. Cullipher, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Williford and women who have faithfully served the church in past years, t I had a very brief speech memorized in accepting the gifts for the church, but I forgot just about the second or third word. Maybe somebody thought it was time for “station identifi cation,” for I couldn’t say a word for a spell. Among the gifts was a beautiful walnut com munion table made by Hubert Williford. Some body said Hubert ought to go in the furniture business. Wfell, it’s a surer thing in which he is engaged being an undertaker. People might not buy furniture, but they’re surely going to die. o Women just can’t keep out of things. The Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a fishing contest and last week Mrs. Ernest Kehayes caught the largest fish in the bass division. The bass was caught just back of her home and when she was through fishing she had only a-few steps to take to her back porch—Jbetter than traveling several miles after a tiresome fishing trip. Anyway, her catch put the fever in a lot of neighbors, but Mrs. Kehayes caught the big ’un! o Mrs. Kehayes’ fish attracted a lot of attention, but another major attraction recently was a pic ture displayed in the lobby of the Peoples Bank & Trust Company. It is a picture of a large group of Edenton people at Governor McLean’s luncheon taken at Hotel Joseph Hewes March 31, 1928. Quite a few people have tried to see how many in the picture they can recognize, but the sad part of it is that over 30 of them have passed from the scene. o Edenton’s Colonials have been playing a good band of ball and will meet Hertford on Hicks Field tonight at 8 o’clock. Os course, the attend ance can be improved upon, so how about going out and watch ’em play tonight? They need the support of Edenton fans in order to keep out of the “red.” li. FOR PEACE Nearly three years ago a Con gress of Mothers was held in Switzerland, attended by 1,061 women from 79 countries, all united in a determination to save their children from the scourge of war and its horrors. A Per manent International Committee of Mothers For- Defense of Chil dren Against War, For Disarma ment and FOr Friendship Among the Peoples was set up. The third meeting of this com mittee was held recently in Sofia, Bulgaria. Women from each con tinent compose the committee, new ones from different countries being appointed at regular inter vals. Two documents were unani mously adopted: “A Declaration of Mothers Against War;’’ “An Appeal of Mothers For Defense of Children and Young People and For Their Education in the Spirit of Peace”. Excerpts from these: “Public opinion against and resistance to wars have continually increased.” “Recently an impressive number of scientists from all countries have expressed themselves as against nuclear weapons and their testing . . . The consequences of the armaments race prove that only disarmament can bring se curity . . . and create the neces sary conditions for full develop ment of mankind ... Disarma ment, even partial, would stop the futile waste of resources . . . and money released could improve living standard”. “At a time when all people should reap the benefits of the outstanding discoveries of sci ence, two-thirds of the world’s children, according to a UNICE, report, live in deplorable condi tions, harmful to their physical, moral and mental development. Atomic energy, which could bring prosperity and well-being to all mankind, but now in fact used for purposes of war, constitute an unprecedented danger to all those children affected by harmful rad iation.” British mothers have proposed a Women’s Caravan for Peace, starting from England early this summer, traveling through many European countries, hoping other women will join, and that “one vehicle with about twelve to twenty, should make the whole journey, lasting about three months . . . This plan will . . . promote friendship and coopera tion between women of many countries.” All persons are called upon “to use their best endeavors to bring the peoples closer together for the creation of a better world.” “If all mothers write and act together this prospective of mu tual understanding, peaceful co existence and peace can be a won derful reality of tomorrow.” Sincerely, Mattie E. Saunders Rt, 2, Tyner, N. C. June 13, 1958. INFANT BURIED Graveside services were held in Beaver Hill Cemetery Tuesday af ternoon at 5 o’clock for Sharon Marie Graff, 3-day-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Graff. The service was conducted by the Rev. James MacKenzie, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. The child died Monday night in the Albemarle Hospital, Elizabeth City.

New Highway To i Harvey Point Planned Continued trom Pago I—Section 1 Point. Such a road, it was point ed out would serve travel on U. S. 17 both from the south and north. Mr. Spruill also considered the matter and his sugestion almost coincided with the Edenton sug gestion except that the proposed new road would connect with the present road from Hertford to the j base at a point near Burgess, from where the present road would be relocated and made a primary road, eliminating most of the dan gerous curves. Mr. Spruill also advanced the idea of widening and resurfacing the remainder of the road into Hertford. However, Mr. Spruill stated that his mission was also to meet with citizens of Hertford and Eliz abeth City in order to learn what | they thought was best. At any | rate, he stated that the state plans to improve the roads and that any J suggestion he mad.? Was-sobjeet, to the' ‘action t>f kite ’ Highway Commission. Mr. Spruill informed the local group that the Highway Commis sion on Monday lifted load re strictions on an access road while the base was being constructed. He expressed the opinion that the necessary use of the road for heavy loads will likely result in a j great deal of damage, but that | the state will be obliged to keep, the road in passable condition. Mr. Spruill stated that accord ing to news reports the state was more or less reluctant to do any thing about adequate roads to the base, but that he was instructed by Director Babcock to confer with citizens in the area some time back, but due to pressure of business he was unable to get to Edenton until Monday.
