A LIFT FOR TODAY ir The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. —Romans 6:23. TO KNOW GOD to have a creative Urge which challenges us to undertake great things for Him to be conscious of His Presence as we work lor the upbuilding of 'His Kingdom to seek new and effective ways to serve Him each and every day that is Eternal Life. Eternal God. Thou hast promised that He that believeth on me. the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these." With Thy Power and Guidance, we too. become fellow workers with Thee. Industry And Higher Education One of the happy developments of the time has been industry’s increasing support of higher education in the United States. Gifts from corporations to our colleges and universities totaled S4O million in 1953. They came to $136 million last year. And the 1959 total is expected to reach $l5O million. The American Economic Foundation gives two reasons why corporations feel more and more of a responsibility toward higher edu cation. For one thing, business needs the training manpower thus produced. For an other, corporation officers want to preserve and nourish the traditional American ideal of educational opportunity. Still a third factor must also play a big role in framing the attitude of business. That is the desire to keep education out of the hands of federal bureucrats —who would call the tune if the colleges and universities were supported with federal money. Keeping edu cation free of political dictation is the most important need of all. / Spellbound From San Diego, Calif., ccmes one of those perennial reminders that English is really so ambiguous in spelling and pronunciation that it’s a wonder we haven’t long ago given it up as a bad risk. On the attack, in this instance, is Dr. James L. Julian of San Diego State College. His star exhibit is the word “psychology,” which he intimates can be spelled in any of 6,480 ways without changing its pronunciation. Even though our proofreaders haven’t caught us cut in nearly that number of variations, we’ll take his word (however spelled) for it. The real root of the problem (aside from some annoying hard, soft, and silent conson ants and some tricky diphthongs) is the vo.w els, which wander all over the place. Dr. Julian recoils in non-U horror at the spec tacle of the letter A having nine different sounds: F. seven; I, three; O, eight; and U, eight. Even Henry Higgins (the “rein in Spayn false manely in the plane” man) would have to admit it would he harder to teach Eliza to write to a duchess than to talk to one. But. granted it’s an absurd potpourri of a language, we still love it for its extraor dinary richness of meaning and even for seme of its eccentricities. like the far flung English-speaking world, it’s really very democratic in its lineage. It’s a melting pot that took on immigrant words from half the Indo-European tongues. And it’s also demo cratic enough not to get huffy (or is that houghy?) over being misspelled. We’d agree with Dr. Julian that it would not be a bad thing if the melting pot were to refine some of the confusions out of spelling. But not all of them, please. Let’s leave a little ammunition for grade-school spelling bees, the punsters and Awgdun Gnajche.— Christian Science Monitor. The will to live is the most important fac tor in determining the life span, of man. Contrary to most shining examples, it is possible for an individual to be healthy, wealthy and wise. Progress: The old man who used to hrag about doing thirty miles an hour has a son who brags about 350 an hour. Food experts recommend five meals a day as if anybody is able to buy enough for five small meals. The well-known human race could get along better if it were not for some of the Isl JfearJ & Seen Football candidates are going to it full blast even though the weather is hot. It makes a fellow sort of hot to even watch the hunks of humanity crash into each other like two freight trains. However, if the boys can take it in this sort of weather, they should be in shape to take it when cooler weather arrives and they go up against conference competition. The boys had a big-time on looker for a while Tuesday night when Ace Parker, Duke University great, watched the boys practice for a while. ——o Hiram Mayo, Edenton’s new school prin cipal, worked a lot of overtime Tuesday night when he moved his furniture from Tar boro to the Bachman house on West Eden , Street. Among the items he moved was a boat, so I take it he’s sort of a fisherman. Well, there might be a few fish left for him to try to catch. He’s is no worse shape than the rest of us, for we must find where the speckled perch have moved since the old stakes and piles have been yanked up. However, I didn’t see any of the scudders hanging on to the piles which were piled at the foot of Broad Street. Anyway, here’s hoping Mr. Mayo will enjoy his work in Edenton as well as sport on the water. o Taking off early last Thursday morning, I I took a sudden trip to Pennsylvania to visit my brother and siste* A fellow might think the weather was cooler up there, but not so. They were experiencing 90-95 degree weather, the hottest in 20 years, and it’s just as hot at night as in daytime, so that I almost “gin out.” It was some relief upon arriving home Sunday night to enjoy the “million dollar breeze” coming off the Sound. Hot or cold, give me old Edenton. 0 While in Pennsylvania I called a sister in-law on the phone. Os course, I was in vited to go to the house, but she said, “I’m heme all the time, but call before you come for I might be away.” The mosquitoes were \ also on a rampage and I asked a friend if they spray to get rid of ’em. “Yes.” he said, “they spray all right, but only chase the | mosquitoes from the street into the house.” Why the bloomin’ mosquitoes even were on the job during the day. I had dinner with a friend who was on a diet and he told his wife, “I’m too full of a regular meal today to eat my diet.” I also met a couple who had an odd way of sleeping. The wife slept with her head at the head of the bed while the husband slept with his head at the foot of the bed. I asked why such an odd ar rangement and the wife told me, “Well, I’d rather smell his feet than his breath after drinking a quart or so of beer.” 0 Roy Emminizer recently returned from a trip through the section I came from in Penn sylvania and he was very much enthqssd about the farms and highways, if may all be true, but give me Edenton just the same. It’s very nice to leave to go on a trip, but it’s a darned lot nicer to come back home. o Willie Saunders has been missing some of the Red Men meetings lately but he turned up Monday night. He had to be given the password, but right after that he said. “They better soon take up the password or; I’ll for get it.” Well, some of ’em are a mess to re member. Thomas N. White, who lived at Decatur, Ga., wrote in that his address had been changed to Stone Mountain, Ga. He also had this to say: “-I have been reading with interest the good fishing you people have en joyed these summer months. The weather has been so hot here they have been in deep water. My lines are not long enough to reach them that deep I guess.” Well, some times it’s hard to catch ’em here with long or short lines. —*—o Some oldtimers wjll remember Aubrey Shackell, a former Edentonian. He is now located in Charlotte and the other day wrote a letter to send him a 10-pound keg of salt roe herring. The Edenton Bay Fish Com pany was given the order, but what I don’t understand is that Aubrey had them sent tp Arthur Corpening, manager of Hotel Shera ton at High Point. Maybe the Missus makes him go that far to eat the things. Anyway, I’m supposed,to go to the Sheraton Hotel op September 18, but I’ll not order salt herring while there. I’D take mine in smoked her ring.

M„ just to see what in heck was going on over there. I saw and I almost wish I hadn’t; for a flash second I saw a million dollars in youthful en ergy, the golden exuberance of youth, and the silvery tinkle of happiness in the morning of life spread out before me. These kids are millionaires of time, misers of minutes and hoarders of seconds of a treasure that can all too soon slip away from them. Ah, youth—“ The moving finger writes, and, having writ, moves on.” Make the most of these tender, happy years, for soon you’ll find them behind you, only dreams. Incidentally, although I have not met James Boswell personal ly, I am one of his listening ra dio friends, and I here wish him the best of luck and success in his Hollywood venture. It is a tough business he is getting in to, but also a very satisfying and rewarding one. Ran across a picture recently in a newspaper that was almost the spitting image of myself. I thought for a moment I was gazing into a mirror—but for one exception: he was more | youthful) appearing and doggone better looking than I ever have been! Since I have some kin folk bearing the same name of the guy in the picture, it is quite .possible that he may be a distant relative of mine. May be—could be. Was on vacation last week and spent my time writing and working at the thousand and one things that need to be done around a house. Actually I worked harder than if I’d been on the job . . .

The last; month Os , summer and ;wq tty to crowii in all the' things’ tire planned to do before Fall. Au gust is the time to complete 4-H records—both project books and long time records. I have tried to impress upon you 4-H’ers the importance of turning in your record books. That is the only way we, as agents, know exactly what you :tave done during the past year. There are many awards the 4-H program offers to 4-H members —and anyone eligible may par ticipate. Four-H Club members enroll ed during the current year in a i-H Cluh and carrying a project or activity will be sent a letter telling about the deadline for the records to be turned in. Af ter these records are in the agent’s office, it is then our re sponsibility to arrange for de termining all county winners. Every county winner will be awarded a medal and a certifi cate in his winning field. The county winning records are setn to the state office and district winners are determined. The district winners are present ed a ribbon and certificate at a special recognition day 'during the fall. From the district winning rec ords one state winner is select ed for each project and activity offered by the State and Nation al 4-H Award Program* State winners must have pass ed their 14th Birthday and must not be older than 21. State 4-H winners must have completed at least three years of 4-H Club work. State, Sectional, and Na tional winners in 4-H Award Programs are eligible to attend National 4-H Club Congress most of these trip, are free awards given Dy various oust Good Conservation Practices 1 Cut Losses From Recent Rain I , * —-r Farmers should take note of the new gullies and drowned crops which showed up after re cent heavy rains. They show- the need for good soil and water conservation prac tices, says J. F. JDoggett, soil conservation specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Ser vice. “Some crop drowning and soil loss is to be expected with rains like we have had,” Doggett add- Farmers Can Reduce Nematode By Plowing Old Tobacco Roots Farmers should plow up their | old tobacco stalks, as soon as [ the tips are in the bam. Fumey A. Todd, extension plant pathologist at N. C. State College, repoits that the nema tode population can be greatly reduced 'by plowing out infected tobacco stubbles. “Studies have shown,” Todd said, “that nematodes can be re duced 75 to 90 per cent by ex posing tobacco roots to the dry ing effects of the sun and wind.” While this reduction is not enough to give practical control of nematodes, when it is coupled With crop rotation and soil fumi gation, it gives the best control known. Even where a severe nematode problem does not exist, Todd recommends the plowing out of old tobacco roots. ' “By doing so,” Todd explain ed, “a farmer may prevent the buildup of a high nematode pop ulation.” Todd gives these suggestions es by raising a blue ribbon steer or making a winning dress for the revue. In summarizing, I’d like to leave these thoughts, written by a 4-H 'member, with you: . • . “Some may think of 4-H that its only product is, good farmers and homemakers.
