! when the youag man heard that saying, he
uijent away sorrowful: for he had great posses
sions—Matthew 1932.
Complete renunciation is a supreme law of
God's kingdom. If we withhola nothing, we
never regret it, for Christ goes with us and the
pathway grows onghier ana more glorious unto
toe perfect day.
May we heed thy eaU. O God. Let nothmg

Rare Opportunity
It is not often that citizens of the com
munity are afforded the opportunity of hear
ing three outstanding speakers in their field.
Such an opportunity is now being offered to
all citizens of the community to hear three
outstanding speakers w.thin the space of five
days.
Tonight (Thursday) at 8 o’clock in St.
Paul’s Parish House, Nathan H. Ydton will
address a public meeting on the problems of
the retired and elderly. Mr. Yellon is a grad
uate of Vanderbilt University and has taken
advanced courses in numerous other universi
ties. He is a member of the Governor's Co- j
ordinating Committee on the Problems of Re
tired and Elderly People; he is secretary of
the Teachers and State Employees Retirement
System. He has held numerous responsible
positions in the field of education and is still
active in this field. He has written many ar
ticles and has lectured in the field of educa
tion and the problems of elderly people. He
is a very interesting and provocative speaker.
On Sunday afternoon, April 3. at 3:30
o'clock, in the Washington County Library at
Plymouth, Professor Richard Walser will ad
dress a public meeting opening the celebra
tion of National Library Week. Mr. Walser
js professor of English at North Carolina
State College; he is a well known lecturer on
English Literature; is an outstanding author,
having written numerous books, one of which.
“Ingiis Fletcher oi Bandon Plantation.’’ was
published in 1952. He is very much inter
ested in North Carolina writers and authors.
He is a very interesting speaker and no one
should miss this opportunity of hearing him.
On Tuesday evening. April 5. at 8 o'clock
in Joseph Hewes Hotel, Robert Lee Humber
will address a public meeting in further cele
bration of National Library Week. Mr.
Humber is a State Senator, a former Rhodes
Scholar; he has lived abroad for a number
of years, is an international lawyer, is closely
associated with and was one of the founders
of the Museum of Art in Raleigh. Mr. Hum
ber is an outstanding speaker and lecturer
and no one should miss this opportunity of
hearing him.
The individuals and committees responsi
ble for obtaining these outstanding speakers
are to be congratulated and the community
can well show its appreciation by taking time
from their daily lives to attend these meet
ings and providing overflow audiences. No
one will regret the effort.
Sunday School A
Force For Faith
This year marks the twentieth anniversary
of the founding of the Laymen's National
Committee, fhc., an interfaith organization
dedicated to the proposition that "America
was founded oh man's consciousness of God.
man's daily labor and the fruits therefrom."
The Committee sponsors National Sunday-
School Week, April 11-17. The theme for
the Week this year is. "Sunday School—A
F,orce for Faith.”
J. Edgar Hoover, director cf the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, has said, “The six
teenth annual observance of National Sunday
Schcol Week should serve as a signal re-em
phasizing to all responsible citizens the need
for a return ts religion in our standards of
Ujving.
. “The Sunday Schools of our nation can
n)ake a tremendous contribution to the neces
sary realignment of our guide for daily ac-
My*y The importance of religion as 'the ma
jor factor in the conduct of our hues must be
ipstiHed in our young men and women, and
from there, it will assume its rightful {dace
in the lives of every citizen, every communi
ty and every nation.’’
People who enjoy privileges rarely believe
that democracy' has any right to curtt thri.~
Brim I
They say that the way to a man’s heart is
through his stomach, and this might aptly ap
ply to some voters being won byway of the
stomach. Which leads up to the fact that
over 75 Chowan and Edenton officials and
business men attended a dinner at the Eden
ton Restaurant Tuesday at 1 o’clock at which
David McConnell of Charotte, candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor was the principal speak
er. The dinner and meeting consumed only
one hour, so that Mr. McConnell, a very in
teresting speaker, spoke briefly, but present
ed a lot of thought-provoking matters in the
short time he spoke. There is no doubt but
that he won for himself quite a few votes
from the group present to meet him. Just to
get some idea of the group, here is a list of
those who enjoyed a chicken p;t-pie dinner
and Mr. McConnell’s remarks:

Last week’s Rotary meeting developed in
to somewhat of a "smoker.” It all came
about because Doc Ed Bond passed around a
box of cigars. He became the pappy of a
daughter on Saturday. March 19. The new
comer tipped the scales at 8 pounds and 3
ounces and has been named Patricia Phipps
Bond. Anyway. Doc has "paid up”.

Tom Ridgeway and personnel of Chowan
Hospital feel very grateful to Herbert Hollo
well. Jr. Mr. Hollowell recently contributed
a very attractive magazine rack to the hos
pital and to make sure that the rack does not
remain empty, he entered subscriptions for
two years for 14 different magazines which
will go to the hospital. The hospital gang
consider this gift a splendid gesture and want
to publicly thank Mr. Hollowell for his in
terest and generosity.
o
The ether night an Edenton couple was
invited to the home of a neighbor primarily
fer the purpose cf tasting a cake the hostess
was baking. After chatting a while, the hos
tess pulled the cake front the oven and. much
to her sorrow, she discovered it had baked
too long. "What kind of a cake is it?” ask
ed the male visiter. In a matter of seconds
the hostess replied. "Well. I think a charcoal
cake would be an appropriate name for it.” •

Members of Cub Scout Pack No. 159 were
scheduled to sell miniature Easter lilies this
coming Saturday, but the project has been
postponed until Saturday, April 9. At that
time the Cub Scouts will sell the lilies and
also canvass the town for Easter Seal contri
butions. Cub Pack leaders are James Griffin
and Carroll Boyce, who urge citizens to sup- |
port the Cub Scouts bv digging down in their
pockets for a generous contribution.

The nation's 18th decennial census is
scheduled to get under way Friday morning,
April 1. In this effort to count noses, 160,-
000 census takers will be making their
rounds with the expectation cf visiting every
dwelling unit in the United States. There
should be no hesitancy in answering the ques
tions asked by the census takers in order to
determine the nation's population as of 1960.
The census takers are easily identified and
all information about individuals and their
homes furnished to the Census Bureau is held
in absolute confidence under federal law. It
is used only to provide summary figures such
as totals, averages and percentages. The in
formation about individuals cannot be exam
ined by any one other than census employees
who are sworn to secrecy, and thus cannot
be used for investigation, taxation or regu
lation.

The Recreation Committee of the Chamber
of Commerce will again sponsor a spring fish-

! began Sunday. March 10, but for several days
after that the weather didn’t go along with
the idea. If some of the March weather in
; varies April, the contest might be cut short a
* few days. A few hearty souk go fishing re
gardless of the weather, but then the majori
ty of fishermen wail until the weather is fit
tin’ to fish. Bruce Jones is chairman of this
year’s contest and he’ll not take any fisher

I made a niiscue in a story
about Spec Jones and Gilliam
Wood being Chowan County
campaign managers for Her
bert Bonner in his contest for
re-election to Congress. Friend
Herbert was in Edenton Wed
nesday and attended the Fat
Stock Show, but before he
left he called me to inform
me that J. Clarence Leary
was also one of his managers.
It was too late to make a
change in the story appearing
on the front page. Anyway,
this trio will be out to round
up votes for Mr. Bonner.

3|%l| REPORTS
EIEiiiiI Fr#«IWASHIN6TOH
Washington—Congress is now
in the process of studying a
most revealing report made by
a special committee concerning
the needs for additional research
in the field of the relationships
between soil and water.
The report shows very clear
ly that research in this field is
sadly lacking, and that there
is a tremendous need for sharp
increases in research if we come
anywhere near solving many
water problems that are serious
today and growing more serious
as time passes.
In recent years a great many
studies have been made of our
soil and water resources. The
facts collected leave no doubt
that 20 years from now, if pres
ent trends continue, water sup
plies—for agriculture, industry,
and home use—will be the Na
tion’s foremost domestic prob
lem.
One study shows that today
agriculture accounts for 73 per
cent of the total national con
sumption. .As population in
creases, as industries expand,
and as other non-agricultural
uses go up, the known sources
of today will be insufficient in
a short time. Many scientists
feel the only answer is to begin
immediately finding ways to
conserve the known sources and
supplies.
The Department of Agriculture
has reported to the Congress
that facilities costing about 320
million are needed-now to carry
on research in soil and water
conservation. The
contends that there is an urgent
need for 15 national research
centers to work on such prob
lems as salinity, ' sedimentation,
drainage, and irrigation. The
list includes a center for the
study of the “Mechanics of Soil
Erosion.” The function of this
center would be to do work in
the area of soil detachment and
movement caused by rain.
Many scientists feel that
North Carolina would be an
ideal location for such a center,
and I have asketl the Senate
Committee on Appropriations to
give favorable consideration to
the * advantages of North Caro-

lina as a location.
There are many reasons why
North Carolina would be ideal
for such a national center. First
of all, we have a high rate of
rainfall with high intensities.
We also have a wide variety of
soil types and a wide range of
slope conditions from the moun-J
tains to the sea. Finally, North
Carolina State College at Ra
leigh has one of the most out
standing programs of soil con
servation research in the entire i
Nation. In fact, the Soils De
partment at N. C. State con
ducted the first research on the
properties of soils which deter
mine their characteristics of
erosion.
We have done a great deal in
North Carolina to solve many
of our water problems, but even
with the work we are doing in
stream pollution control, flood
contra and the impounding of
water, we have barely scratch
ed the surface in terms of what
needs will be in a matter of just
a few years. It is a problem
that has no single answer, and
one which demands the best in
research and planning.
