Hail, thou art highly favoured; the Loid is with thee; : blessed are thou among women.—Luke 1:28. The time draws near the birth of Christ; the moon is high; the night is still; Lie Christmas bells from hill to hiii answer each other in the mist. — Tennyson. Our Father, may the spirit of the Christ Child >e re-born in our hearts that we, 100, may ba :ome channels through which Thou cans! redeem lost world. Buy At Home! Beginning tonight (Thursday) Edenton stores will remain open until 9 o’clock each night until Christmas. I h!s service is of fered for the convenience of many shippers who find it difficult to do their shopping dur ing the day. Edenton stores are chock full of timely merchandise for the holiday season, so that it is not necessary to go elsewhere to buy any thing in way of Christmas presents. There are complete stocks, ample clerks to wait on customers and one will find no more con genial group of clerks in any other town. They will be happy to meet customers and try their best to help solve shopping prob lems. As to local prices, only this week a cus tomer in one of Eden ton’s stores remarked that she paid 79 cents a pair for men’s seeks in a Norfolk store and that the same socks were on the local counter at a much lower price. In comparison, shoppers can get jiv t as good merchandise at just as low price here in Edenton than by traveling great distances to stores in other towns. Bes’des, merchants help the community by paying heavy taxes, make substantial contributions to various civic projects and a r e interested in the wel fare and progress of Edenton. They are very anxious to satisfy customers and in fact are justly entitled to the business of this trading area. Support your home merchants! Drawing Peoples Together The introduction of jet planes into the in ternational air travel picture has met with an enthusiastic reception. The jets offer new high standards of streed and comfort, and the i/cdume of intercontinental travel has shot apwaid. The jets are enormously rastly —’n the neighborhood of $6 million for each one. Total jet investment by all the international airlines will run into the billions. But this does not mean higher fares. To the con trary, the purpose of the jets is to hold costs down by keeping the planes full of passeng ers. Speed and capacity are thus economy factors. Indeed, jet travel may. in time, be cheaper than travel bv the conventional piston planes. President Juan T. Trippe of Pan American Airways, the leading international American airline, now proposes an exten-ion of lower, economy-class fares to trans-Pacific and round-the-world flights. Extension of these fares would bring about a 25 per cent in crease in travel, and thus make the move beneficial tc the airlines as well as to the pas sengers. The proposal must be approved by the governments of all the countries which have international airlines before it can go into effect. The prospect is a happy one—finer, swifter air service between the nations, and lower priced service which is bound to result in bet ter understanding among peoples of the world. The Color Os The Tie The State cf Oregon has long used yellow dividing lines on its highways. The evidence indicates that most metorists feel that they provide much better visibility than white lines, particularly in bad weather, and so are an important safety factor. But now Oregon’s Highway Department an nounces that white lines will replace the yel low. Reason: The federal government dic tates that states must adopt white lines —or lose their share of the funds allocated to the multi-billion dollar interstate highway sys tem. The significance of this goes far beyond any merits and demerits of white lines vs. yellow lines. The Portland Oregonian makes the big point with admirable clarity: “When one ac cepts a ‘gift’ from Washington, one gives up the free choice that states, as well as indivi duals, hold dear. When Uncle Sam puts up the money for a new suit, he not only decides what kind of suit it shall be but ako picks the cokar of the tie.” IJ'teard Cf Seen By Buff Members of the Degree of Pocahontas en joyed a Christmas party Tuesday night at the home of Mrs. Essie Perry. The group had a very delightful time with the climax coming when Will Perry got out his banjo and did a fancy piece of pickin’. I never knew he could play a banjo, but it was hard for the group to' keep their feet still while he was playing the thing. o Edenton Aces had a wonderful time Sunday when they were guests of Joe Mitchener and his daddy, Mayor John Mitchener, at the Washington-New York football game played in Washington. There was a serious side of the trip when at about Sunday School time the bus stopped long enough for Getrge Nix on to read the Sunday School lesson and pray er by Principal Hiram Mayo. On their re turn John Mitchener again brushed off a corner of the Washington monument saying he wanted to sec his property clean and tidy. He also wanted to see “seme of his other property in Washington,” which included th? mint. He asked one of the party if he knew the difference between the mint and Mitchen er’s Pharmacy. Well, John’s answer was that the cnly difference is that there is. a soda fountain in Mitchener’s Pharmacy. o Edenton Rotarians held their annual Christ mas party Thursday night in the American Legion Building, when the Legion Auxiliary furnished a stomped down good turkey and ham dinner. The Rev. George Holmes was the principal speaker and delivered a splen did address on “The Spirit cf Christmas.” A feature of the party was several delightful numbers by a group of girls directed by Mrs. Mary Browning. After the girls were through singing. President Jimmy Earnhardt called Charlie Overman to lead in a farewell song. Jimmy had to call Charlie three times and finally asked, “Charlie. are you asleep?” But just then Charlie jumped up and said, “With ci ,~h splendid music, nobody could fall asleep.” What puzzled seme of .the Rotarians was if Charlie knew the girls were singing or Preacher Holmes speaking. Anyway, Charlie led the closing song. o Jack Habit the ether cfey bought a three vclk egg to the office while 1 was out, but I understand he ate the “eggs” himself. Jack has a very systematic egg factory and, he says, he has names for all his hens. One died the ether day, so he’s about out of names, lack’s hens produce a lot of eggs and one of his reasons is that lie has a sign in his fac tory which reads “An egg a day keeps the hatchet away.” o Well, printers are n’rJt the only ones who have vexing problems. Jack Mooney handed me a letter written by a contractor in West Dallas, Texas, which goes like this: Re: That Warehouse Job Dear Sir; Thi« letter is to let you know we ain t figger ing on paying non of them ligating damages on the job rite behing the letter Re; at the top of the page. I figgered something like this would haipnen when we didn’t get the thing done in the first place when it was supposed to, so I went their myself to see why not and I dammed sure did and it ain’t our fait. In the first place them plans you give us warnt too good and you mustave known it all the time because somebody in your office ’had to write a hole dam book to try to tell what should have been put in the plans in the first, place, find this guy what wrote the book wornt no better than the guy what wrote the p’ans. In the fi r st Diace this book was chuck full of stuff about a lot of dam junk probably some relitive of his was sellen. There warnt anything in the book about the stuff we were using anyway. Then in the front of this book was a lot of stuff loked like some lawyer had stuck in there cause it was in real little print and looked like it was there to jip us. Beside all that the man we sent up there to take care of our truck and see that the bilden got built said the man you sent up there slowed him down a lot and made him pour truck load after truck load of cement in big holes under the bilden that didn’t help none and cost a' Hell of a lot more than we aimed to spend. All this stuff caused so much trouble that our man started drinkin and earring on some and when 1 got there to see about it it agrafated me so bod I had Vo go on a months drunk myself and you ought to be smart enuf to know you can’t get bildens bilt when you got to be drunk all the time. If you guys had any cents at all you know oTS you had to do was tell us what kine of bilden you wanted and how big and where to put it and we would of got ifoilt in a month or so and this Wouktaer have come up then and we could all made a wad of dough. If this aint enuf to get the damages stopped let us know and we could start to tellen some the nasty stuff about mistakes in the plans which aint in accord with our dhicksi, but we ctan’t us if it looks like it will ™ CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THTTRBDAt DECEMBER 17, 1»5».
