A LIFT FOR TODAY i( Righteousness exallelh a nation. — Prov. 14:34. AMERICA’S SECURITY must be built upon the foundation stone of unfeigned religion obedi ence to the Ruler and Creator of the Universe. 1 Merciful Father, may America be not only first in material matters, but in things of the spirit, leading other nations in the paths of peace. Progress Made At Last Town Councilmen locked horns at a spe cial joint meeting of Town Council and the Board of Public Works held Monday night over the question of calling for a bond election to sell a sufficient amount of bonds to con struct a sewage disposal plant. With a full board present, the vote was 3 to 3, so that Mayor Ernest Kehayes cast the deciding vote to call for an election. There is no choice in the matter of Eden ton constructing a sewage disposail system in that the State Stream Sanitation Committee in no uncertain terms has declared that Edenton cannot continue to dump raw sewage into Edenton Bay. So, being forced to construct a sewage disposal plant, it is equally manda tory that Town Council call for an election to sell bonds in order to pay for its construc tion. And it is equally important that Eden ton people vote in favor of a bond issue. If the election is defeated, the information is that the state will take over, have a plant constructed and pass the cost on to local tax payers, in which event the cost will, in the estimation of some people, be far greater than if the project is handled locally. The difference of opinion among Town Councilmen was the wisdom of calling for an election at Monday night’s meeting instead of waiting to take action at a subsequent meet ing. The limit of the bond issue, whch was set at $600,000, was also a matter of contro versy, it being pointed out that when 'later figures are submitted the limit might be re duced. Those voting in favor of calling the elec tion feel that the $600,000 limit is of no con sequence. Surely there is not a single mem ber of Town Council or the Board of Public Works who would spend a single dollar more than is necesnary for this project. The esti mated cost of a plant, according to present figures, ranges from $428,000 to $601,000. At present members of both boards are as much at sea as to the ultimate cost of the project as any human being can be. In this situation, what difference does it make about the limit of the bond issue? Only enough bonds will be sold to pay for the construc tion. On the other hand if a limit of say $300,000 or $400,000, should be called and the project would run to a higher figure, then another election would be necessary to sell tnore bonds. Then, too, this sewage disposal business has been dragging along for a long time, so long in fact that state officials have just as hiuch as said “get going or else.’’ In other words the committee wants to see some action. Had not the bond election been called Mon day night, there would have not been any progress at all made. Other than calling for the bond election, the situation is just about where it was for months except for the fact the Board of Public Works had about come to an agreement for a site. However, the pos sibility has arisen that it might be possible to secure a portion of the Edenton Naval Au xiliary Air Station as a site, which would be more convenient and reduce the cost. Hence, no action on a site was taken and this will, of course, be delayed until word is received from the government. Some are of the opin ion the government will release a portion of the base but there are others who are of the opposite opinion. However, Town Council has voted to call in election to float bonds for a sewage dis posal system, so that the State Stream Sani tation Committee can be informed that some progress has been made. Worth While Over $60,000 has been turned loose in fedenton and Chowan County byway of the 1958 Christmas Saving Club of the Peoples pank & Trust Company. This sizeable amount of money will, for the most part, flow into local channels of trade so that it should io some extent help the economy of the Entire community. , A total of $60,000 is a lot of money to be saved during the year and it can be said that 1 h V Jdeard & Seen By Buff Ml —«T I »■— ■ I 1 Friend or foe, Edenton people have a big heart when anybody meets with misfortune. This was experienced recently by Wilson Winslow, a mem ber of the Camden football team which played and was defeated by the Edenton Aces for the District I Championship. Young Winslow’s spine was in jured during the game and after Dr. L. P. Williams examined him he was rushed to the hospital. The football player is now gradually recuperating at his home at South Mills and in connection with his stay at Chowan Hospital, Tom Ridgeway, ad ministrator, the other day received a letter of ap preciation from the boy’s stepfather, the Rev. Irv ing C. Cook. The letter follows: “Dear Mr. Ridgeway: Evelyn and I would like to tell you how much we appreciate your personal interest in Wilson during his stay in the hospital. It meant much to him and to us to have such ex cellent care. I feel you are outstanding in your leadership, as evidenced by the general spirit of the hospital staff. Please convey to Drs. Wood and Vaughan our thanks for their fine services. Wilson greatly appreciated the two boys who dropped in to see him and the’druggist who called. We thank you all for your friendly interest.” o * One day last week the sky became cloudy and put on the appearance of a brewing snow storm. One of the boys in The Herald office made the re mark, “It looks as though we’ll have snow.” An other chimed in, “Yea, and I don’t have have a snow shovel.” Then another piped up, “Hec, I don’t even have a good pair of shoes.” Anyway, the last few days have been regular summer days in this neck of the woods, so that a snow shovel isn’t needed and a guy could go barefooted without any discomfort. o We’ve apparently got some very optimistic teen agers. One of ’em the other night was supposed to have a date with a girl, but came home unusual : ly early. “I thought you had a date,” he was asked. • “Well, 1 could have had,” he replied, “only she was out with another fellow.” o Well, there are very few Marines left in Eden ton and every once in a while folks hear from some who have left. The other day Mrs. Irma Allsbrook received a short letter from Mrs. Shirley Weaver who lived in Edenton with her Marine husband and worked in Mrs. Allsbrook’s beauty shop. Mrs. Weaver is now living at Jersey Shore, Pa., and had this to say: “I wish everybody in the world would have an opportunity during then life time to spend some time in Edenton and see what nice and hospitable people live there.” o Time was when one captain of each football team marched out on the field at the beginning of a game to meet each other and the officials and decide who should kick the ball to start the game. On Friday night the Aces sent out four co-captains and Benvenue also four. Shucks, why not let the whole works go out for the preliminary? o And speaking about football, Edenton’s Aces apparently have a tough assignment Friday night when they play Southern Pines in Goldsboro for the eastern Class A championship. Southern Pines in the 11 games played has scored 285 points while holding their opponents to only 24 points. That record shows that somebody can carry the ball and Southern Pines placed five players on the Cape Fear Conference All-League team. These five boys include End Steve Smith, Tackle Rich ard Lockey, Guard Jimmy Caldwell, Center Bill Seymour and Back Bob Mclntosh, and all of ’em will bear watching on the part of the Aces. A large crowd of Edenton rooters are expected to see the game and the band will also make the trip to Goldsboro. Coaches Bill Billings and Johnny Mor ris, as well as the Aces, are anticipating a tough battle but here’s hoping the Aces will come home with the bacon. The Aces are a two to three touchdown, but it is not the first time they were decidedly the underdog but marched off the field with the long end of the score. They may not win, but if they play like they did against Tarboro and Ahoskie, Southern Pines will know they were in a football game. Let’s go, Aces! o Joe Porter was very enthusiastic Wednesday morning when he called on his granddaddy, Joe Vail, for his school lunch money. “You know,” he said, “Mama is going to the band’s turkey shoot today and if she shoots at the right place she’ll get a turkey for us on Thanksgiving.” Yep, that’s all that is necessary—shoot at the right place. for the most part the savings caused very little hardship and the money was missed very little by laying away a small amount each week. It is an example of what can be accomplished by systematic saving—-a trait too many people lack. This money will allow some people to pay their taxes, pay off or reduce bills and no little amount, no doubt, will go toward pur chasing Christmas presents, a satisfaction realized only because of the Christmas sav ing plan. i As John W. Graham, president of the Edenton Chamber of Commerce, aptly puts it, “Our people are to be congratulated for making regular payments on these accounts. It shows good planning, an appreciation of the value of consistent saving and it contri butes to the general economy of our entire community.” Nothing increases the admiration of chil dren for their parents like a large estate for division among the heirs. The use of ordinary courtesy on the high ways might some day save your life. Why not practice it? t < Life would be a great deal more simple if we did not try to make people think we are what we are not. , /'r 4 THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY.

William D. Fuller SpeaksAtMeeting Os DAR Chapter Points Out Disastrous Effect of Over Or ganization and Too Much Conformity Edenton Tea Party Chapter of DAR held its November meeting Wednesday of last week in the Iredell house with Mrs. Wood Privott, regent, presiding. The business meeting was followed by a most challenging speech cen tered around the DAR theme of the month of November, which is “Liberty.” The speaker, William D. Fuller, pointed out how in many so-called democracies in both the past, and the present the words Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and Democ racy are merely empty, fine sounding words with no reality. The speaker warned how they are becoming so in our own country with - ever advancing socialism, farm subsidies, more and more government controls, and the ever increasing power and centraliza tion of the federal .government. He said that 60% of the national ihcome is spent for military pur poses and that in the event of an other war we could not carry on I without a dictatorship which we would not be able to do away with afterwards. Mr. Fuller pointed out the di sastrous effects of over organiza tion and too much conformity which are both so prevalent in this country. He showed how the programs of many national asso ciations are so planned that units and groups are unable to do little on the local level or act on their own initiative and that many peo ple are so anxious to blend with the masses that they are afraid to think or speak for themselves.
