Job Well Done With a furious hurricane traveling along the North Carolina coast Saturday, headed in the direction of Edenton and this area, local citizens should be thankful that Hurricane Helene changed its course away from the coast, so that very little damage occurred in this area, com pared with the great amount *f property de struction along the coast further south. Though the anticipated fury of the hurricane did not materialize locally, a splendid job of precautions and dissemination of information was done in event the worst came to the worst. Edward Wozelka, director of Civil Defense in Chowan County, proved his efficiency in that capacity. L. H. Haskett, chairman of the Cho wan County Red Cross Disaster Committee, done a splendid job in way of preparing to meet the Storm and he is high in praise of the coopera tion he received on the part of National Guards men, police, firemen and others who stood ready to offer any assistance possible. Radio station WCDJ also rendered a splendid service by remaining on the air until midnight, after all apparent danger was passed. Members of the National Guard unit re mained up all night and patrolled the streets in jeeps in order to discover any possible danger or need of assistance. The schools in the county and in Edenton and the Edenton armory were thrown open for use of citizens who felt safer there than in their homes. Members of the Street Department were out on duty about 4 o’clock Sunday morning in order to clean up the debris caused by the wind and by 10:30 o’clock had completed a splendid job of cleaning up the town. Mr. Wozelka was in constant touch with Civil Defense authorities as well as securing informa tion on his ham radio set. He in turn relayed any information about the progress of the storm to the radio station for broadcasting to those within the radio reception. All in all it was an excellent job of informing the public and preparing for any emergency. It was a glowing example of what can be done with the proper sort of cooperation. The ef forts, fortunately, were not needed, but it was far better to be prepared and the hurricane not arrive as anticipated than to have the hurricane strike with damaging force and nobody being prepared to meet it. You can save yourself a lot of wasted effort if you refuse to believe everything you hear about other people. When you get in a hurry, that is a good time to be sure that you do not move too fast. Luckily for the human .race, adults who grow cynical are replaced by youngsters with enthu siasm, hope and faith.

C. '' ■ J4earJ & Seen Byßuff Somebody told Reggie Griffin that I had some thing to say a week or two ago, when he was bit ten by a pony at the Beers-Barnes Circus. “Well, he don’t know everything,” the boy said, I just learned how to whistle today.” o Some people don’t have any “respect” at all. The other night I joined a group to play cards and as I sat down at the table I discovered that I had left my pipe at home, “Good heavens,” I exclaim ed, “I forgot my pipe.” But without losing any time two or three chimed in “Thank the Lord”. o A fellow was telling me the other day about a local motorist who while on a northern trip stop ped to buy gasoline. After the tank was filled, the filling station attendant asked “How’s your oil?” The southerner probably misunderstood the attend ant and replied “We’re all right, thank you, how’re you all?” o As if the Edenton Aces do not have enough followers, three dogs joined the ranks at Friday night’s game. One of the dogs stood as quiet as spectators when the national anthem was played and marched with precision ahead of the band.- Somebody ought to take that particular dog to Elizabeth City Friday night and train him to chase the Yellow Jackets when they run after Edenton ball carriers. At any rate the Aces will try their best to stage an upset by defeating the Yellow Jackets. It is reasonable to assume that a large crowd of Edenton fans will accompany the Aces. The Edenton band will also accompany the Aces, so that it should be a colorful football game if the Aces win or lose. o Many people were rather jittery Saturday night when it was expected that Hurricane Helene would unleash its fury here. We should be very thank ful that Helene changed its course, so that we ex perienced only a stiff breeze. However, the elec tric current went off for a spell, so that kerosene lamps and tallow candles had to be used to pro vide light. It gave us an opportunity to realize hoW much better off we are now than many of our forefathers. o Jack McMullan the other day typed off the fol lowing religious formula: Get it like the Methodist, Experience it like a Baptist, Propagate it like the Roman Catholics, Praise it like the Episcopalians, Glorify it like the Jews. Simplify it like the Quakers, Practice it like the Christian Scientists, Pay for -it like the Presbyterians, Work for it like the Salvation Army, Enjoy it like the Negro. o Then in rooting around my desk I found the following poem by an unknown author but ap peared in “The Tar Heel Pest”: MAN IN THE GLASS When you get what you want in your struggle for self. And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself. And see what that man has to say. For it isn’t your father or mother or wife Who judgment upon you must oass; The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think you a straight-shootin’ chum. And call you a wonderful guy. < But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum If you can’t look him straight in the eye. He’s the fellow to please—never mind all the rest — For he’s with you clear up to the end; And you’ve passed vour most dangerous, difficult test. If the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathwav of years. And get pats on the back as you pass. But your final reward will be heartaches and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ ——— Dear Editor: My ministry required late hours last week-end when Hurricane Helene was expected. In the course of the evening and during the time the peak of the wind was to arrive in our area I found that I had much company on an otherwise comparatively lonely night! Even while the wind had yet to reach gale force there was evi dence of attention from the De partment of Public Works. Debris was even then being gathered. I saw maintenance men and trucks from the Electric and Water De partment already at work observ ing and repairing. The Police De partment was present. At the hospital I found the entire staff had been alerted and emergency measures had been taken. When I offered to help put away a boat I found the marina already full of secured craft! The weather signals were flying. The tele phone employees (on their own) remained on hand. All during this time our radio station was broadcasting reports and news items. I heard that the schools and churches were open to those who desired their security. I heard that the armory was pre pared to receive overnight guests. In fact, not only our friends, the Marines, but also our local re serves were prepared. I saw sev eral volunteer firemen who for tunately did not have to be call ed, but who were prepared to an swer any signal. For the most part everyone seemed too busy doing their part in preparation for what could have been a bad blow to get alarmed. I know that many items were accomplished that evening that could not meet the eye of just passing citizen, but, dear Edi tor, let me voice the appreciation of several who expressed the opinion that here was real, live, tangible cooperation that meant loss of sleep for some, but pre paredness and security for all of us! Thank you. GEORGE B. HOLMES, Rector St, Paul’s Episcopal Church. • • BEEFEATER jjragjL 1 (hSgg W\ Burrough’s BEEFEATER BIN IMPORTER frra EM UNO 0y KOORJUW CORPORATION, NElt TOOK 1, N. T. H PROOF .

Mrs. Carson Davis was put in charge of selling small lamps for the benefit of the club. The club members decided to ( bring a piece of shrubbery with them to the October club meeting and exchange with each other. Adding shrubbery to the yard was one of their community progress projects. The club made plans to decorate and make place cards for the hus band’s supper which will be 'held in the Wards Community Build ing on November 19.
