Not Too Late
It is to be regretted that the annual Christmas
Seal Sale in Chowan County has apparently
bogged down, so that contributions are far be
hind previous years, something to the tune of s.oo
lass than last year.
One cannot but be impressed with the progress
made in the fight against tuberculosis, which has
been accomplished primarily as the result of re
search. followed up with health education and
case finding. Much of this effort would not have
been possible had it not been for the annual
Christmas Seal Sale, for most of the money thus
raised goes for this purpose as well as rehabili
tation.
Though tuberculosis has been greatly reduced,
Americans were obliged to pay approximately
9725,000,000 last year, mostly in way of taxes, for
TB patients in hospitals throughout the nation, so
that the fight against the crippler isn’t over and
continued financial resources are needed to carry
on the battle.
Quite a few Chowan County people have not
yet made a contribution and it is believed the
principal reason has been due to forgetting or
overlooking the appeal. It isn’t too late, so that
contributions, large or small, will be gladly ac
cepted by W. J. Taylor, Ralph Parrish or Mrs.
Wesley Chesson.
Freedom First
“1 love America, and I don’t want to live any
where else ... I feel so many Americans don't
appreciate it ... ”
These words were not from the lips of a per
son wanting to make over everybody and every
thing: they were spoken by a beautiful refugee
Romanian girl. Her childhood record included
starvation, floggings, three gun wounds while be
ing used for target practice in prison camps .in
cluding DachstL
This girl and her family, including a brother in
the Air Force, are not finding it easy to make a
living in this country, but they put the right to
be free ahead of everything else.
We should never forget or belittle the right
every American has to be free. This freedom
should not be forgotten when pressure groups, in
or out of government, seek to submerge the in
dividual under mass regimentation. Infringe
ments on individual opportunity can destroy the
America the Romanian girl loves. The right to
work, the right to vote, the right to worship, the
right to speak, arc not just trick slogans—they
mean liberty.
. Those who violate the law should not object to
the penalty.
The smart man knows what he doesn’t know.

Last week I thought surely I was oyer being
befuddled over the holidays but evidently I was
not In this column I had a paragraph about J.
Clarence Leary, connecting him with the Chowan
Storage Company. What I should have said was
“Leary Bros. Storage Company.” Clarence called
my hand, so that I’m now sort of steering clear
of Lloyd Bunch.
Edenton police have recently had a lot ot com
plaints about damage done by boys with air rifles.
In one instance about a dozen windows weie brok
en and no less than half dozen window screens
damaged so that all must be replaced. The police
are appealing to parents to check with children
having air rifles and remind them that no fire
arms are permitted to be discharged within the
city limits and that air rifles cannot be used off
one’s own premises. Further, there is a fine of
as much as SSO for disregarding this law.

We had another spell of winter last Thursday
when a two to three-inch snow was dumped down
in this neck of the woods. With cold weather
prevailing the previous snow had just about van
ished and for a time it appeared as though we’d
have a duplication of the first snow. Quite a few
people said the snow was very pretty but that’s
about all that can be said for it. However, Old
Sol has worked on the stubborn snow, so that at
this writing no trace of it is left.-
o
In one of our grocery stores the other day one
of the checkers noticed a very attractive girl en
tering the store. She asked the boy packaging
groceries to take a look at the pretty girl, but
the boy replied, “I can’t look, I’m going steady
now."
o
It's no telling what a fellow will bring home
when going hunting or fishing. I've heard of fel
lows going fishing and bringing home a duck or
goose, and likewise some have gone hunting and
brought home fish. But the word was going the
rounds Wednesday morning that a local commer
cial fisherman found 61 ducks in his nets.
o
Red Men held a weiner roast Monday night, but
some of the heavy eaters didn’t show up for the
feed. All of which caused Gus Bunch to say,
while a stack of hot dogs was on the table, “Boys,
I’ve eaten until I'm full, but I can’t eat all of
those hot dogs.” After some of the fellows ate
quite a few of the hot dogs, they had the nerve to
say they had eaten supper before coming to the
meeting. Well, if they hadn’t, Friend Gus wouldn’t
have seen hot dogs going to waste.
o
It’s a small world. Recently Arthur Charbon
neau joined the crew at Rick§ Laundry & Dry
Cleaners and one day he dropped in at the Tri
angle Restaurant. He got into a conversation with
Larry Dowd and it turned out that both young
men were reared in the same town. Springfield,
Mass. Despite the fact that they lived in the
same neighborhood, they did not know each other
until the meeting the other day.
o
Josiah Elliott the other day asked where I
bought the cap I’m wearing which just about cov
ers my head. Joe said he's going to buy one
just like it because whenever he gets in and out
of the Byrum Hardware Company truck he always
knocks his.hat off. Maybe that’s the reason his
hat's in the shape it is.
Edenton received a generous piece of publicity
in the summer-fall edition of the Employment Se
curity Commission Quarterly. Two full pages are
devoted to Edenton on which are a number of pic
tures and activities of the Edenton Chamber of
Commerce. Oh yes, the spread is enhanced with
a picture of Harry Smith, executive vice president
and while much of the reading* material is about
the Chamber of Commerce, Harry didn’t write it.
The story was written by Martha Jackson, secre
i tary of the Public Information Office at E.S.C.

Letters To The
Editor
ANSWERS THREE P's
Dear Editor: Last week’s is
sue contained a column entitled
Three P’s in which the author
attempts to solve personal prob
lems. While the author is to be
commended for his noble effort,
the article contained some con
fused and misleading ideas that
could be misunderstood. To clar
ify some of these statements fur
ther explanation by the author
would be appreciated. For in
stance what is his source for stat
ing that St. Francis of Assisi was
later taken into the Church.
Francis was taken into the
Church by baptism at birth and
givfen the name John in the year
1182. Therefore, he ’ could not
have been ‘outside the pale of
the Church’ and later ‘taken into
the Church’. Reliable history
shows that Francis* as he came
to be called, practiced the Cath
olic Faith devoutly from his earl
iest years. One of his visions oc
curred while he was attending
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
His primary concerh as the num
ber of his followers increased was j
to receive the approval of the
Pope for the Rule of Life of his
many followers. This approval
was readily given by Popes In
nocent 111, Honorius 111 as well
as the Fourth Lateran Council in
1215. Thus, having always been
a faithful member of the Church
and having obtained the approv
al of the Church for his way of
life and there being no evidence
that he was ever outside the
“pale ©f the Church" it is impos
sible that he could • ever have
been received into the Church la
ter in his life.
Also, for the author to compare
Jesus Christ with Buddha, Mo
hammed, Coftfueius as great spir
itual leaders and equally good
and sufficient guides to Salva
tion borders on blasphemy since
Jesus Christ is the only one who
was Good. Christ, being God.
had the authority to establish a
teaching Church and He entrust
ed to it the means of Salvation,
His Sacraments. He founded
His Church with Peter as its
Head and imposed on all men the
obligation to hear and obey His
Church. “He who hears you
hears Me, he who rejects you re
jects Me and he who rejects Me j
rejects Him who sent Me.—Luke!
10, 16. The platitude: "It doesn't;
make any difference what a man
believes just as long as he lives j
rightly and keeps the golden
rule” cannot be accepted in the j
light and teachings of the God |
Man Jesus Christ. Let us express ;
this in a proverb: “As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he.”j
Such indifference is wrong since |
it wipes out all difference be
tween truth and error. There are
fundamental differences in relig
ious beliefs and from these dif
ferences flow far reaching conse
quences. For, if the Unitarian,
for example, be right when he
says Christ is only a man, then
the Anglican, who believes He is
God and so adores him becomes
guilty of idolatry. By the same
taken, if the Anglican is right,
then the Unitarian, who denies
His Divinity, and refuses to wor
ship Him as God, but treats Him
as a mere man, becomes guilty of
k blasphemy. In other words, that
I ail creeds are equally good real-
I ly signifies that falsehood is as
I good as truth, and idolatry is as
I good as true worship.
I Christ gave His Apostles the
I command to teach-His exact doe-
I trine and imposed *on their hear-
I ers the obligation to accept all
I that was taught. “All power is
I given to me in Heaven and in
I earth. Go ye therefore, and
I teach all nations, baptizing men
I in the name of the Father, and
I the Son, and the Holy Ghost:
I teaching them to observe all

things whatsoever I have com
manded you: and Lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end
of the world.”—Matt. 28-18. And
again, “He said unto them, go ye
into all the world, and preach the
Gospel to every creature, He that
believeth and is baptized shall be
saved, but he that believeth not
shall be damned.”—Mark 16, 15.
Among other glib statements
the author referred to religion
today as big business. The rea
son for the remark was not clear
and its meaning is obscure. If
religion is big business is that
good or bad? Might not Govern
ment, Education, Recreation, etc.,
also be called big business since
they have large invested capital
in buildings and involve a large
number of people?
It is interesting that the author
recommended attending church
if only for the spiritual atmos
phere to be found there along
with peace for your soul. Christ
Who is God founded the Church
and commands that we hear and
obey through His Church. This
includes membership, attendance
and worship in the Church that
He founded.
