Edenton The Loser
Harry Smith, Jr., on Monday tendered his
resignation as executive vice president of the
Edenton Chamber of Commerce, a move
which has caused no little concern among the
board of directors. Mr. Smith was the man
behind the gun in Chamber of Commerce ac
tivities and while he lias been in harness only
about 2Vi years, his leadership and efforts
have resulted in the best Chamber of Com
merce Edenton has ever had. He is a valu
able asset not only to the Edenton organiza
tion, but the town as a whole, so that in his
leaving a void will be caused which will be
extremely difficult to fill. Edenton will defi
nitely be the loser in lasing Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith has accepted the position as
executive secretary of the American Power
Boat Association, an appreciable promotion
compared with his position in Edenton. Some
idea of his qualifications is reflected irt the
fact that he was chosen from about 80 can
didates from all parts of the country. He
will report for his new duties in Detroit,
Mich., on May 23.
Though in Edenton only a little over two
years, Mr. Smith’s leadership and influence
has permeated the community in various ways,
so that in his leaving Edenton and in fact
this entire section will be the loser. The
Smiths have been high calibre citizens and
haw won a host of friends, so that it is not
surprising for them to feel rather reluctant
and sense some degree of sorrow to leave
Edenton. The feeling is mutual, for a host
of Edenton friends regret to the fullest the
approaching departure of this fine and valu
able family.
Though Mr. Smith will leaw in a short
time, he has a host of friertds in Edentdh
who wish him much success in his new and
larger field of activities, going from a com
munity to a national level of endeavor. The
Herald joins his many friends in wishing for
him the best of luck and success in his new
undertaking, and with the ability he has
shown during his brief sojourn in Edenton
there is little doubt but that he will meet
with success.
Hard To/ Understand
Saturday morning's horrible automobile ac
cident once again reflected the fact that where
there is life there is death. Two very attrac
tive and fine young ladies lost their lives not
long after they attended and enjoyed one of
the highlights of a high school student’s school
career —the Junior-Senior Prom.
Just why such calamities occur is hard for
a human being to understand, for these two
young ladies were full of life, they were
splendid students, taking part in many of
their school’s activities and had their life be
fore them.
But to understand the reason for such sud
den and tragic deaths only points Out the
weakness and insignificance of man. There
is a Power who has a reitsun, and the com-,
sorting thing about it all is that we are tolcf
that “all things work out for gdbd to those
who low the Lord.”
Many of us are obliged to face ordeals
which seem almost too great to bear, but
there is reason to bdievC that good of SOlhe
kind will emerge frotn gfeat thlfts of sorrow.
No matter how grrift oitt trOuMe Os Misfor
tune, if we just kkfik ttMHtd i if isn’t
hard to discover sotneoffe who & J«6st a Rifle
worse off. . .
In time of great sorrow, efforts of human
beings to lighten the WM is i source of gfeit
satisfaction, but the Ming hand of time fc
the best remedy to chfeC i bounded temrt
caused by a stroke Os fate over which ii
have no control. y

■J4eard & Seen
By Buff
—I ■ —I
Ohte of the most horrible accidents in recent
years occurred early Saturday morning when
two attractive Hertford girls lost their lives
in an automobile wreck and two young men
miraculously escaped with their lives. It was
a dreadful shock to the entire Albemarle area,
and one who was not the least affected was
the Missus, who would have liked to write
a paragraph for this column this week. Both
of the young ladies were frequent visitors in
the Bufflap household, but one especially,
Julie Lane, was almost like one of the.family.
She was the sweetheart of Robert White, son
of the Missus, and the couple hhd made plans
to be married in August of 1961. The Missus
was very fond of Julie and by her associa
tion with her over a period of four or five
years feels that her life has been greatly en
riched as the result of the sterling qualities
and the affectionate and pleasant personality
of this fine young lady. What was to become
an even closer association with Julie was sud
denly shattered early Saturday morning, but
the memory of her will be cherished through
out the years as one of the most delightful
girls with whom she has come in contact.
The Missus, too, feels that her son was spar
ed by a kind Providence, for which she will
ever be grateful. She, therefore, extends her
sympathy to the two families who lost their
beloved daughters, as well as the family of
Jerry Taylor, the other young man who was
phlhfully injured but whose life was spared.
The same goes for yours truly, for the acci
dent brings vividly to mind an experience on
July 14, 1945, when my family went through
a similar ordeal as in the matter of a few
minutes the lives were snuffed out of a son
and grandson in a drowning accident. Break
ing of family ties so suddenly, tragically and
unexpected is a terrible shock, but there is
some degree of consolation in the fact that
the Almighty will not allow more sorrow than
one can bear and such calamities can never
be forgotten. Kind deeds, words of sympa
thy, cards and letters, help to relieve sorrow,
but it is time alone that will gradually soothe
the wound, and as we travel toward the end
of our way, life becomes somewhat sweeter
in the thought of meeting again our loved
ones in a land where sorrow and pain are un
known.

Last week I mentioned only a few places
of beauty in Edenton in connection with
flowers and gardens. But Mrs. Willie Saun
ders called on the phone to remind me that I
missed at least one other beautiful place—the
Rocky Hock Church grounds. I’ve not seen
it, and I’m sure I failed to mention quite
a few other places in Edenton and Chowan I
County well worth seeing in “their spring'
dress-up.
o
What should be a very outstanding meet
ing is scheduled to be held in the Masonic
Temple next Tuesday night at 7 o’clock when
the Varsity Club will hold its annual sports
awards banquet. Trophies will be awarded
and Coach Bill Murray of Duke University
will be the principal speaker. A few promi
nent college athletes are also expected to be
guests of the Varsity Club, so that an inter
esting meeting is in prospect. Anyone plan
ning to attend should secure their ticket at
Once—sl.so please!

If the County Commissioners use good
judgment, they’ll finish up their business on
time Monday morning. The Commissioners
have been invited to be dinner guests of the
Home Demonstration County Council at the
Advance Community Building and the ladies
will serve dinner at 1 o’clock. The Com
missioners have attended these affairs before
and have reason to anticipate a very good
meal— and me, too!

Leaving early last Thursday morning to
visit my sick sister in Pennsylvania, I was
rather surprised to run into 90-degree weath
er, especially smte I was wearing clothes
ffttin’ for about 40 to 50 degrees. But even
though the weather was just as warm as in
Edentata, frees had a faint green color and
the profusion of flowers so evident in Eden
t6h fatf not made their appearance. But as
