TTift FOR TODAY
I am the Way.—John 14:6.
Jesus Christ, the compass of life, leads us to
home and safety when we remove from our lives
all that interferes with the incoming of His
Spirit.
Lead kindly light, that our doubt may give
way to a noonday of faith, we pray. O God.
In Working Gear
It was welcome news to learn late last week
that the State Highway Commission announced
that adequate access roads would be built to the
Harvey Point Naval Air Station. Os particular
interest is that one of these roads will be a new
24-foot highway leading from U. S. 17 at Light
Nixon Fork, about eight miles north of Edenton,
which will intersect the present Hertford-Harvey
Point road in the neighborhood of Burgess. The
latter road will be widened and resurfaced and
with a new bridge to be constructed over a creek
on the outskirts of Hertford, will provide two
roads to take care of the Harvey Point traffic.
The new road from Light Nixon Fork culminates
several months' activities on the part of the Eden
ton Chamber of Commerce spearheaded by Harry
Smith, Jr., executive vice president.
When the Navy announced the proposed sea
plane base at Harvey Point, Mr. Smith realized
that it was an opportunity for the entire Albe
marle area to benefit by the vast installation but
that adequate traveling facilities were necessary
in way of good roads. Mr. Smith immediately in
his quiet and unassuming manner went to work
with various committees, contacting Navy officials,
Congressional and state representatives a9 well as
representatives of towns and counties in the Har
vey Point area.
That Mr. Smith’s efforts have contributed in no
small degree to the realization that adequate roads
will be provided, goes without saying. It is only
another instance to bear out the fact that without
a Chamber of Commerce it is 'not without the
realm of possibility that very little or noth ; #*
would have been accomplished to take advantage
of the economy which will be developed by the
Harvey Point installation.
While Mr. Smith has been the spearhead in
working for a new road, he has had splendid coop
eration of Chamber officials and committee mem
bers, which only goes to show what can be accom
plished by a group banded together and working
as a unit—which is what a Chamber of Commerce
is or should be.
Edenton is fortunate in having Mr. Smith as
its director and with continued support and coop
eration there is no telling what is in store for
Edenton which would not be realized without a
Chamber of Commerce.
Common Sens# 1 Needed
The State Motor Vehicles Department has join
ed the National Safety Council in warning Tar
Heel motorists to be especially careful over the
Fourth of July holiday. In North Carolina 1,300,-
000 motor vehicles are expected to be on the high
ways over the three-dav Fourth of July holiday,
so that drivers will need to be especially alert and
responsive if thev are to avoid trouble and escape
iniury or even death in their quest for pleasure.
One point in particular is pointed out by both
the Safetv Council and the Motor Vehicles Depart
ment. and that is that a fifth can be deadly on the
Fourth. Even two cocktails are daneerous if you
drive within three hours after drinking them, the
nation’s traffic experts declare.
In North Carolina last year 11 persons were kill
ed in Fourth of July traffic mishaps, and it is
estimated that a third was caused by drinking
drivers.
Social drinkers are a greater menace than com
monlv believed. Thev greatly outnumber the ob
viously intoxicated driver. Studies show the
drinking, hut not necessarily drunk, driver is a
b!“ factor in holiday traffic tolls.
The thrott'e and the bottle are the arch villains
in the nation’s and North Carolina’s holiday traffic
death toll.
Alcohol, even in small auantities. impairs the
, critical Judgment needed by drivers. What’s more,
coffee does not offset the effect. Only time can
eliminate alcohol from the bloodstream.
Most Amer Tans are good drivers—the high traf
fic toll notwithstnnd'ng. However with unwards
of 70 million vehicles on the nation’s highways
whizzinv past each other onlv a eounle of feat
snart. the average driver must make 20 to 50 de
cisions an hour, many of them literally involving
life nr death. Last vear’s all-Pme low death rate
of 5 9 fatalities ner 100 milpnn miles of travel
proves that most drivers made the right decision.
Most of us want to he good drivers. We pride
ourselves on on® skill and common sense. We
obev the law. We don’t want to hurt ourselves,
our families or the stranger in the other car. Then
whv do we have accidents? Carelessness?
Carelessness is a catch-all word that covers a
multitude of sins. Good drivers that we are most
of the (j'me. every one who has ev Pr been behind
the wheel pf a o»r renaemhers the near misses—

With Mrs., Wood Privott absent at last
week’s Rotary meeting, it looked as though
the Rotarians would have to sing without
music. But Harry Smith, Jr., was called to
the piano and it was the first'time I knew that
he could play a piano. Well, he can, and I
quit singing (?) in order to listen to him
hammer away. Nope, I wasn’t caught for
not singing, so I’m a dime richer.
o
Bill Goodwin and Alex Kehayes some time
ago ' expressed a desire to attend Philmont
Scout Ranch out in New Mexico during July.
They went to work to raise the money, which
amounts to $175 each for the trip. They’ve
done a lot of things to raise the money and
now I understand they Hack only five dollars
of having enough. Well, they’ll no doubt go,
for five dollars is close enough to steal if
nothing else. The boys will be gone a month,
two weeks at the ranch and a week each for
going and coming. Here’s congratulating
them. It shows what a boy can do if he
makes up his mind to do it.
o
Going fishing last Saturday, I found a
place where the fish* were biting like no
body’s business, but they were fully protect
ed. In less than a minute after finding the
place a swarm of yellow flies swooped down
so that a fellow couldn’t pull in the line due
to slapping at the devilish yellow flies. And
I’m told that some folks on the west side of
town can hardly poke their nose out of the
door before being pounced upon by yellow
flies. Anvway, they’re a darned nuisance
and I’d like to find the guy who “invented”
them.
o
Huckleberries appear to be right plentiful
and one local lady was telling me about gath
ering some, but that she had about as many
red bugs as she had huckleberries. Anyway,
she sought some advice to keep from getting
red bugs, which was to rub herself with 6-12,
then after coming home, to quickly throw her
clothing in a washing machine and take a
hot bath after springling salt all over her
body. She did just that after going on an
other huckleberry hunt; and says if she gets
any red bugs this time, her informant is go
ing to get blessed out. But red bugs or not,
here’s what somebody had to say about
huckleberries:
HAVE SOME
Yes, they’re pretty on the tree,
Gathering is happy spree.
We, perhaps, may hum a tune
As we race to fill pails soon.
Pull and pull, and pull and pull
’Til the pails are nearly full.
Thinking of the time to eat
Well affords a (luscious treat.
Anpetites are whetted smart,
Thinking of, the good ole tart.
Tt’s good, too, huckleberry stew
With cold biscuit, telling you.

Bob Pratt, after being an Edenton cop
for over 30 vears. retired as of Tuesdav
morning. He’ll still be around but will not
seem natural out of his uniform. Bob has
been employed by the town to check park
ing meters, but will not have authority to
make arrests, so we’ll not be hearing him any
mere say “Git in this ki-yar.”
o
Driving around the county one cannot help
but notice how pretty the various crops are.
and here’s hoping conditions continue so that
bumper crops will once more be in order.
Asa Griffin already brought in a cotton blos
com. but I’m more interested in his water
melon crop. Some of the shipped-in water
melons have been pretty good, but give me
the Chowan County watermelons for honest
to-goodness good watermelons. And canta
loupes are in the same boat.
o
Mrs. P. T. Rea, who now lives in Wash
ington. D. C., missed her paper last week
and didn’t waste any time asking me to send
her one. “We miss the paper when it don’t
arrive, for I read every word of it and then
oass it on to mv entire family, ” said Mrs.
Rea. “We are all still Edentonians and like
to know what is going on there.”
o
Fridav wifll he the Fourth of July, and
while I’m a “naturalized” Southerner now
(all except eating chitterlings) I’ih still Yan
kee enoueh to want to take the dav as a holi
day. The only thing wrong with taking a
holiday, though, is that a fellow has to work
like a dog after a holiday to catch up with
his work.
he much safer for themselves and others.
And another timely suggestion is the careless -
ness of littering the highways with trash. Ifs all
too common for motorists te throw paper, hazes,
cans, efc., from their car while traveling. North
Carolina has in progress now a program against
the litterbug, so you will be doing a favor to save
your trash and deposit in receptacles along the
'highways, thus helping t© make the highways
cleaner and more attractive. Just a little cart, in
this respect will go a long way to make a favor
