An interesting ind ication of
ho* the person who smugly
looks down his ncee at others
and thanks God he is not as
they are usually puts both feet
in his mouth is contained in
the following three items from
the Greenville (North Carolina)
Daily Reflector:
April 18, 1960: New York (AP)
—Note on life in the big city:
A police department advisory
issued to women’s groups urges
women to avoid shortcuts home
at night, to lock their doors,
report anyone loitering around
schools or playgrounds, stay
calm in case of burglary, rob
bery or ether attack and call
the police as soon as possible.
Tuesday, April 19, 1960 (an
editorial): Sad Commentary on
Big City’s Troubles. A sad com
mentary on big city life was in
cluded in an advisory issued by
the New York Police Depart
ment to women’s groups of the
city ... it is a sad commentary
indeed when a police depart
ment anywhere finds it neces
sary to issue such a Statement.
It reflects not on the police dc
paitment, but on »he city itself.
A community in which women
are not safe on the streets or in
their homes has a tot of im
proving to do whether it is a
village or the largest and snp-j
posedly the most progressive
city in the world. Reading the!
advisory of the New York police!
gives us another reason for be
ing glad we live in a small
Southern community.
Thursday. April 21, 1960 (lead
story on front page—headed by
picture of a home that had been
burned to the ground): Woman
Survives Attack by Intruders
Who Set House Afire. A 60-
year-old woman managed to cs-|
cape from her burning home late
last night after unknown in
truders had badly choked her.
(The story went on to tell how
her home had been entered by
a number of men who wrapped
a.- towel around her neck and
choked her, leaving her for dead.
They then set the house afire
and escaped).
The moral of the story, of
course, is that we are all such
feeble, frail children of dust
it ill behooves any of us to
point the finger of scorn at an
other. New York is a jungle at
night, of course—but is there
any more violence there in pro
portion to the population than.

say, Greenville, N. C. or |
Edenton, N. C.?
It may be that there is a lar-1
ger amount of violence in New
York City, even proportionate
ly—but is there any more sin?
Does living in a small communi
ty somehow or other sanctify *
person and improve his morals?
Do we have occasion to glory
because our sins run along a
different line than those of the
denizens of New York? Is it
any less cruel, for example, to
murder a person by means of
the tongue with slander and 1
back-biting than to stick aj
knife in his breast and be done
with it? Is it any less disgust
ing to become a drqnkcn sot
drinking cocktails with a pack
of self-satisfied social climbers
than to wallow in the filth of
a skid-row gutter? More ex
pensive. certainly—but less dis
gusting? '
Perhaps we would alt do well;
to occasionally re-read the words'
of Jesus recorded in Matthew
7:1-5: “Judge not, that ye be
not judged. For with what
judgment ye judge, ye shall be
judged: and with whwt measure
ye mete, it shall be measured to
you again. And why beholdest
thou the mote that is in .thy
brother's eye, but considerest
net the berm that is in thine
own eye? Or how wilt thou say
to thy brother. Let me pull out
(he mote out of thine eye, and
behold a mote is in thine own
eye? . . . first cast the beam out
jos thine own eye: and then shalt
( thou see more clearly to cast the |
j mpte out of f thy brother’s eye.”

Assistant Home Economics Agent
Encampment for 4-H Clubj
members in Chowan County has |
been scheduled for the week of
June 6-11 at Roanoke Island,
Manteo. Our quota is 20 4-H’ers
plus the two assistant agents and
one adult leader. At .this point,
' T would Tfkc * to' elaborate a
little on 4-H Camp. The main;
. purpose of this camping program
i is to recognize the achievements' 1
of the 4-H Chib program: to
. provide a week of inspiration,
> information and wholesome rec
reation: to broaden the horizon
,of young people, and to give
(them a glimpse of rural life dif
ficult to obtain through regular
4-H Club work. Also, it is the
purpose of 4-H Camp to give
. members experience in group
responsibility; to train and use
leadership ability; to explore
subject matter such as nature
study, handicraft, music and pro
. gram planning; to meet the ne
cessity for taking responsibility;
, to meet and learn to live and
get along with other young
people.
Every 4-H Club camp is a
j small democracy in action, in
j which each camper helps to
make the camp a success. Every
camper is a member of an or
, ganized group. Each group—
head, heart, hands and health—
elects captains and an adviser is
1 assigned. .Camp is a 4-H mem
ber’s big opportunity to secure
a broader vision of 4-H Club
work and to put into practice
i the 4-H motto, “To Make the
/Best Better.” The cost of one
week at 4-H Camp is $14.00.
, This fee will cover the cost of j
camp rental, food, refreshments
, each evening, handicraft sup
. plies, accident and illness insur
, ance and other operating ex
penses. Insurance coverage is
from the time a camper leaves
home until he returns home.
, The $14.00 fee does not include
transportation costs, but since
we have cooperative leaders in
Chowan County, I believe we
| will have enough leaders driv
ing to take care of the trans
portation to and from camp at
, Manteo.
Letters have been sent to each
4-H'er with an application blank
attached. Members interested
in attending camp should re
turn these blanks with a one
dollar deposit as soon as pos
sible. As of Mondpy morning,
four applications have been re
ceived and accepted and many
have called and expressed inter
est in attending.
The school 4-H Clubs met last
week. Linda Byrum and Danny
, Long, reporters for the Chowan
Intermediate Club, gave the fol
,j lowing account of their meeting:
j Sarah Elliott, vice president,
' called the meeting to order.
Arlyn Bunch read for the devo
; tian the 100th Psalm. The
4-H’crs were reminded that
, health records are due at the
i May 4-H meelfrtgs. Announce-'
i ments of 4-H Camp and the
' County - Council were made. The
• 1 girls were given a demonstra
tion entitled “A Pretty Picture”
, which brought out points on
good posture, charm and person
i ality. All girls taking a cloth
